SQUARE ENIX IS IN TROUBLE! FF IS DYING

Phones can't run it and normies are going to go to playables when that shit launches. That's the moment when unity commits sudoku and drags gacha fags down to the trash where they belong.

>This is why FF16 should've been on mobile platforms.
lmao
perfect scenario for the gooch's triumphal return to SE armed with his 10 years of mobile kusoge expertise

>lets take a Japanese RPG and turn it into an action game with zero RPG elements
After XVI anything should be on the table.

He does it for free.

no
preferred shares btw
anyway ur the cancer killing ff (stagnation)
thanks alot

He probably thinks it means he's smart when he's just going to end up as the preferred bag holder lol

preferred shares are still ownership in the company you fucking retard. it just means they get PREFERENCE in salvaging the company's assets if it fails, and may or may not get "official" stockholder voting rights, but tencent still owns 30% of the company and you're double moron retarded if you think they don't hold sway over larian's decisions if they want.

yes I'm sure the ability to tank a third of your fucking value on a whim doesn't give them any power. it's just a coincidence that all of the degeneracy being pushed by gay bear sex 3 happens to coincide with the same subversive propaganda that china has been pushing on the west for years.

Not only do you not have an argument after getting BTFO but you're bringing up random schizo shit like a crazy person.
>it's the chinks shoving gay shit in my games!!! NO ONE ELSE WOULD DO THIS!!!!
See

The bear sex thing that only one class out of twelve can do and that will be missable by even most people that actually play that class really mindbroke you huh?

>wanting euros from tencent

At least buy the off shore ADR for the USD lol. I bet you were one of those guys who loved it when Lighting went to Paris in XIII

The point is that turn based combat isn't the 'detractor' that square boomers think it is. This isn't 2005 anymore, the success of Baldur's Gate 3 proves that a game can be an RPG first and still succeed in 2023.

Then why were people playing it still a month after release despite not being what it was supposedly advertised as? You probably haven't played it but most of your BG3 playtime will be spend walking around and doing combat

this show that next FF should have multiple romance option and sex scenes be like persona, with dating sim system set in magic fantasy academy, doing adventure guild and shit

Square Enix should pivot into exclusively Only Fans content for Yuffie, Tifa and Aeris. There, I just saved SE, now give me Rebirth you morons.

7re was good what are you talking about

it is way better than 16 if that is what you were implying

That's how fucking bad XVI is btw

Unironically would probably sell well. Just include a character creator and you'll create the next Persona (and you'll be able to capitalize on it because P6 will take awhile)

I mean can you create your own custom character in cold steel? At least in the persona games with fixed protagonist designs your a blank state. But cold steel as far as I'm aware is just Rean's Gary Stu Ride. Also generally Falcom's smaller budget limits them.

>let's take a Japanese RPG and turn it into a generic CYOC adventure!
no.

Still more choice than most jrpgs. I think the success of BG3 is because people like creating a character and then being part of an epic story, this is also why I think XIV did well.

ehhhh I think you're exaggerating

then why does BG3 have so many straight sex scenes then?

yuri
traps
gender bended childhood best friend
there problem solved

its a japanese games so they dont have to cater hard
like they can add a cute brown tomboy instead of a strong independent black woman with an afro

Real time combat has always been shit too. What which made BG3 such a success was never the combat but the gameplay outside of the combat. Same with the Persona and Pokemon games.

>What which made BG3 such a success was never the combat but the gameplay outside of the combat. Same with the Persona and Pokemon games.
Games are greater than the sum of their parts. This is why deconstructing games is such a fruitless endeavor. You can say a game has "melee combat, building construction, team management" and it might apply to 100 games that are all wildly different from each other.

They largely weren't known back then. I played divinity 2 when it came out and I just thought it was a 7/10.
Legitimately amazed at how well they've managed to absorb coomers and fujos into dnd.

I like BG3, but lets not fool ourselves, BG3 is FotM and attracted people due to word of mouth and the bear sex memes
historically, CRPGs do not sell anywhere close to what BG3 sold

Anons, DOS2 sold as much as FF7Remake if not more
Also strange to say BG3 is FotM when it has greater player retention than even Elden Ring. Are you saying Elden Ring was also FotM?

>tencent shilled game has more """""retention""""" than a year and a half old game
wow that's meaningful

Elden ring fags are algo piggies were baited by youtubers who regurgitate shit they skimmed off of Ganker and condensed them into easily consumed videos. There's no thought coming from them.

How is it irrelevant? When compared to Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3 held on to more players. Even a month after release, it was still pulling in highs of 400k. That's extremely rare for a single player release, even a AAA one.

anon-kun..... you've been in a coma for 10 days......

>still has more players than the other big release of 2023, shartfield
on steam lol. starfield was multiplat with the bulk of its players on gamepass. bg3 is following the standard trend of all fotms in losing over half its players in under 1 month. that's not legs. it MIGHT get legs if they release modding/module/campaign editor tools like they said they would, but until then there's nothing to suggest it's anything more than fotm (just like elden ring was)

>ctrl f
>yoshit
>18 results and counting
who do you think you're even responding you you autistic schizo.

FF16 is not even FOTD. It sucked that badly.

The ones with big modding communities tbh.

The tools aren't even out yet.

You liked ff12 and 13? That's new!

15 had dungeons and a sense of adventure, a map to explore makes it infinitely better than shitsteen

the map was thin I won't argue that but I still had fun travelling through it, seeing the sights, and finding new fishing spots, it was ridiculous how good that fishing mini game was

If I'm being honest, technically, western games/RPGs are way better than japanese games/RPGs. Even as shit as Starfield, or as mediocre CP2077 is (it has gotten better), the shit that they created is vastly superior to the more controlled, linear experiences that japanese games tends to have. ToTK and Elden Ring blew up because they offered something that japanese games usually don't have.

JRPGs provide a sense of cartoonish, anime-like adventure. A dashing lead character, the girl that will be his wife, his wacky bro, and then a cast of zany cartoon characters to adventure with. That's the appeal. When a good one comes out (once every few years) I still enjoy them as an adult, but I think they're better for kids. Western RPGs tend to be closer to tabletop with the focus being the ability to immerse yourself in the world as closely as possible (i.e. how in bethesda games you can take the oats out of some random barrel). This is more well suited for adults.

as for which is "technically" better, idk what that would even mean

Damn, agreed on all points anon. You are correct, it is definitely more technically impressive to create dynamic gameplay systems, and that tends to be a thing in western RPGs more than Japanese ones.

>Like I will play Planescape: Torment
Read. You will read Planescape: Torment

yeah and i will hold down turbo A button while I play DQV lol

>This can be done with either a western or japanese aesthetic, because the general audience of today does not care about that
True. It's why it's so frustrating. SE loves to give big budget to an FF title. But they use it for other shit and kept designing the same game from rhe 2000's. XV has all the great ideas, but the execution is just terrible. XVI they dialled back hard. It's literally FFXIII in its design but with action combat. Luckily Clive isn't as annoying as the majority of XIII's characters.

>western games/RPGs are way better than japanese games/RPG
No. I hate generic empty playgrounds where there are no set plotlines to follow and all your options are half-baked because they were made with as much overlap as possible to allow devs to cut every corner they can.

>Code Vein has a scene where the girls are only wearing a towel in a hotspring
"eh cringe fanservice - i thought we moved past that"

>Baldurs Gate has a dude sucking you off live on camera
"Yooo this is the service we were asking for!"

Literally happening all the time.
"It's okay when we do" is basically the ideology that the western devs are running on. Especially Sony who censor all kinds of nudity on Playstation except when it comes to their own First Party titles. TLOU 2 can have a sex scene. Other games especially from Japan can not.

It did fine. A lot of JRPGs on the switch sell great. The problem is the reaction some of these games garner from the general group of tendies raised on n64, GameCube, and wii.

is that why yoship said not to use that phrase?

thanks I was just making sure you were a yoshitpisser who was tryingt to push one of your gay narratives. they're jrpg's then now and forever

>amerimutt
It's called the great American melting pot you dumb fuckin foreigner

>The weird divide
the divide was really apparent early on. Japanese RPGs started taking on a more manga-like quality because they were being made for Japanese nerd audiences, who coincidentally fucking loved manga. Western RPGs were made for western D&D players so they focused on the "role playing" aspect more. I don't remember the first time I heard/used the term JRPG but it was a long time ago, definitely earlier than 2010.

>Western RPGs were made for western D&D players
This audience dried up in 1992 as soon as Ultima crashed. Western RPGs were always desperate for bigger audience because being DnD RPG wouldn't sell alone. This is why all isometric RTwP shit sprang up because they wanted to use RTS hype

>Look up vidya magazine article archives before and after 2007.
No thanks and i will continue to call them jrpg's

>somehow Western AAA game has sexier women than an FF game
strange...

most certainly true brother. I hope the success of BG3 means more westerners put actually sexy women in games, like fuck no one in BG3 is even a 10/10 yet their hot af compared to every other crpg lady in the past 15 years

cuz a crpg GOTY contender that sold like crazy has moderately hot women in it for once

I mean Bethesda might actually do that with fallout because having a second 3d sci fi rpg would just cannibalize each other's modding scenes.

Also, it would probably be faster to develop too.

Yeah, that's exactly why I said that they'd probably make it isometric so that it doesn't take as long. Especially since they'd also have to start working on starfield 2 by the time es6 comes out.

If they did that starfield 2 would come out in the mid to late 30's and es7 would come out in the early 40's and fallout 6 would come out in the mid to late 40's.

If you don't see why having a third Bethesda rpg is legi unsustainable (especially since starfield lets them do everything fallout lets them do and more) I don't know what to tell you.

fuck I just realized what they're going to do because you said cook god damn it.

The ending to 6 is likely going to involve this kalpa ending and setting the seeds for the next one.
THE NEXT KALPA IS STARFIELD AND THE ALIEN MAGIC SHIT IS HOW THEY BRING EVERYTHING TOGETHER THAT WAY IT BECOMES A SCIENCE FANTASY SETTING THAT FUNCTOPNS AS THE MOST FLEXIBLE PLATFORM FOR ANY KIND OF MOD YOU CAN IMAGINE.

Godd damn it I fucking kneel.

but enough about Pathfinder

I thought the same thing until I actually met Karlach. Her personality instantly won me over.

Shitposting aside, the amount of spell combinations and battle permutations is night and day between bg3 and ff7ec.

>you're the only (sperg) who constantly uses phrases like "(yoshit cultists)" barry.
just like my yoshitpiss

It kind of depend if you can read graphs and numbers or not.
