A lame character overall, by the way they actually changed her dialogue from the Japanese version where she states she was raped.
Action too shitty to compare to DMC5, RPG too shitty to compare to literally any other Final Fantasy
Who does this game appeal to? Redditors who only play low IQ mainstream slop? Yoshi P fanboys whose standards is so low they think their potato code MMO is any good?

a dissapointing game with no content, bad story, bad sales and reception thats worse than most classic FF games?

Aah yes, that's totally what makes a REAL ff.
I suppose FFXV is the best FF ever made!
>thats worse than most classic FF games?
If by "most classic FF games" you mean 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 and nothing else? Sure, which means it's still among the best FFs in the series.
everyone plays ff for their stories. yeah the story fell off on the 2nd half but it's strange that your gameplay complaints are repeated more often. I liked the characters and got disappointed I didn't see half of them do enough. Everyone who played ff7 used magic materia and hp+, barebones and you had to babysit swapping materia where as this game had actual fun gameplay moments albeit briefly and skipped the materia tinkering. where's the vitriol coming from? granted I'm imagining I'm speaking to a ff fan and not just a NEET hater who plays the next current game
>game of the year >a "game" that has barely any gameplay outside of "press X for awesome" and consists mostly of cutscenes and endless banter
Movie games like FFXVI should be banned from Ganker and get their own board, since it takes a special kind of autism to unironically enjoy this garbage.

This is literally the only thing you got right in your entire post.
I don't get it, why do people feel the need to lie so blatantly about FF16?
I saw countless shitposting campaigns against countless games, but they were mostly either nitpicking or disguising personal tastes as objective standards; they still had at least some basis of truth.
This is the first time I see people literally making up false stuff in order to shit on the game.
I just wanted it to be over so I felt like I got my monies worth. I traded it in (bought physical) a week after buying it and got $40 back so it was win win cause I bought Pikmin 4 with the cash, which I've had infinitely more fun with
Half are from Barry. Quarter from shitposters pretending to be Barry, or just normal Ganker shitposting. Quarter are annoying super FF fans who don't like Barry, with a few who are again just shitposters pretending to like FF to again shit up Ganker for (you)s.
The normal discussion already passed a few weeks ago.

I guess best action title, I mean... What other action games released this year?
None. It's not a good game. Way too many Yoshi dick suckers here that would lick the shit out of his butthole and say its 10/10. I hate fanboys so much
>Honestly, no joke or shitposting, do you think FF16 will win ANY game awards?
Probably music, but I can't imagine it winning anything else.
I want it to win Best Action Game just because I know it'd piss off both action game fans and FF fans who insist 16 is an RPG, and it'd be funny
I finished it last night. It's a 6/10 game elevated to an 8/10 experience by narrative and presentation. The world and lore is interesting, there's a great cast of characters, voice acting and music are really good. But they gutted any kind of RPG mechanics in favour of making an action game where the action is laughably braindead. Enemies just stand around waiting to get walloped, there's no thrill to the majority of battles. A couple of boss fights are a little more interesting but the game is just way too easy. Maybe the hard mode is better, but since they locked it behind full game completion, I won't know unless I happen to replay years from now.
>Enemies just stand around waiting to get walloped, there's no thrill to the majority of battles. A couple of boss fights are a little more interesting but the game is just way too easy.
that's like... Every mainline FF
Clive can't resurrect. Phoenix can't do that according to Joshua himself. He just closed the wounds.
With Dion I would agree if Clive didn't say to Joshua that he felt sorry about what happened to Dion.
You can check how popular is the game by counting the number of fanfics written by the autistic FF fans
XVI is by far the least favorite FF game by the fandom, they can't even reach a hundred submits after the game was released and that's saying a lot lmao
At first I didn’t care about ff16 then I played the demo and was excited and had high expectations for the narrative. Was hugely disappointed by the story we got to the point I had to start skipping dialogue towards the end.
>He believes ((IGN))
You're embarrassing yourself. IGN even conceded to Bloomberg's initial report. The article from IGN is Square' PR department running full on damage control in response.

who do i trust, the man who attended the investor call, or the man working for bloomberg who did not, and wrote the article anyway ? Hmmmmm
I think it would be nice, for squares sake. The DO put in a lot of effort in so many titles. But I’m just not feeling it, as a casual observer that can read the room. Makes me a bit sad for them, really. Fr
ok smitch
Nah, only Barry hates it.
FFXVI is absolutely amazing.
Jill is pure sexo
cucks lol
Frick off Barry, you lost.
>3 million SHIPPED is good for a mainline FF title
FFXVI kun…
it says sold
>crops the tweet that says 3 million shipped and sold both digitally and physically
FFXVI kun…
they were shipped and then sold, same shit
>square sells 3m copies to stores to sell
>somehow in XVtroony brains this suddenly isnt sales
its the communist argument all fricking over again frick off and die you joyless shits.
>1 million copies rot on store shelves until they're sold for $5 a piece
XVI-kun...
prove that 1 million copies are on store shelves
Jill wasn't raped then sacrificed tho, you're a moron
What a lame cucked design.
>What a lame cucked design.
A lame character overall, by the way they actually changed her dialogue from the Japanese version where she states she was raped.
she never states that, moron
Yoshit-Piss is such a coward
I'm so confused, do we hate ff16 or do we like ffxvi ? like it is so confusing keeping up with you people.
you hate it if you're a tendie
you hate it until it's on PC if you're a pcgay
simple as
this game could have sold like 6-10m copies if it wasn't exclusive during it first week. what were they thinking?
Action too shitty to compare to DMC5, RPG too shitty to compare to literally any other Final Fantasy
Who does this game appeal to? Redditors who only play low IQ mainstream slop? Yoshi P fanboys whose standards is so low they think their potato code MMO is any good?
it appeals to me, I wanted something new and different, and I got just that
>Action too shitty to compare to DMC5
Still vastly better than any FF to date.
>Who does this game appeal to?
People who know what FF is really supposed to be about.

There is an autistic idiot who unironically spends his days shitposting XVI.
>This is the first time I see people literally making up false stuff in order to shit on the game
jesus frick how new are you?
Yes, people lied even about other games, but this is the only one where about 3/4 of "criticism" is entirely made up bullshit.
>but this is the only one where about 3/4 of "criticism" is entirely made up bullshit.
first week, huh?
I finally finished it today. It was ok but not gonna lie I was disappointed by it.
Same. I was so disinterested by the end that the schlock ending that didn't resolve anything wasn't even offensive, I just didn't care.
I just wanted it to be over so I felt like I got my monies worth. I traded it in (bought physical) a week after buying it and got $40 back so it was win win cause I bought Pikmin 4 with the cash, which I've had infinitely more fun with
Based
Pikmin 4 is also outselling it too if you didnt know kek
>I was disappointed by it.
That seems to be the general consensus honestly. I think it's an okay game. Just not a good Final Fantasy.
Wtf is mald is it some zoomer homosexual term?
Should have been released for all consoles but yeah its good, worth buying a PS5 for (and then reselling after you beat it)
oh and frick that cuck barry
>Redditbob
Loved it.
I can hardly wait for the DLC.
I really liked 16.
It's definitely NOT goty though. Too many issues with it, and it's also in a year with a lot of good titles.
I'll see for myself when it comes out on pc
WHY THE FRICK DO PEOPLE STILL TAAAALK ABOUT THIS MID ASS GAME. IT IS LITERALLY ON Ganker 24/7 JESUS CHRIST
Half are from Barry. Quarter from shitposters pretending to be Barry, or just normal Ganker shitposting. Quarter are annoying super FF fans who don't like Barry, with a few who are again just shitposters pretending to like FF to again shit up Ganker for (you)s.

>another game you can't talk about on Ganker
Welp.
Really sucks but I guess I did took my time to finish it. In the end the side quest weren't worth doing them except for the last ones.

Honestly, no joke or shitposting, do you think FF16 will win ANY game awards?
FF16 will win all of them.
>do you think FF16 will win ANY game awards?
Best FF of the last 20 years?
>Honestly, no joke or shitposting, do you think FF16 will win ANY game awards?
I guess best action title, I mean... What other action games released this year?
Wo Long and Hifi Rush.
best action maybe but game awards are rigged so who the frick cares
>game of the year
No, but if it happens I will eat dog shit
>music/soundtrack
easily
>rpg
no lol. balder gate 3
> story
maybe...idk
Best action nomination but I think Hi-Fi Rush will win that. Maybe best music, that's the vga equivalent of a participation award.
None. It's not a good game. Way too many Yoshi dick suckers here that would lick the shit out of his butthole and say its 10/10. I hate fanboys so much
>it's not a good game
just because you can't play it doesn't mean it's not good
>Honestly, no joke or shitposting, do you think FF16 will win ANY game awards?
Probably music, but I can't imagine it winning anything else.

The music is very poor. People simply call anything related to FF or SE good music. It is embarrassing tbh
Thats only if you have shit taste.
>Enemies just stand around waiting to get walloped, there's no thrill to the majority of battles. A couple of boss fights are a little more interesting but the game is just way too easy.
that's like... Every mainline FF
>both Dion and Joshua are dead
Why? Was this really necessary?
Anyway. I did all the hunts. Where the superbosses?
Josh lives, Dion and Clive die
Clive lives, Dion and Joshua die
Clives heals Joshua
Clives hand turns to stone
Dion falls into a puff of smoke (who is of a job class that doesnt suffer fall damage)
Clive can't resurrect. Phoenix can't do that according to Joshua himself. He just closed the wounds.
With Dion I would agree if Clive didn't say to Joshua that he felt sorry about what happened to Dion.
>Clives hand turns to stone
he doesn't need his left hand to write a book and narrate the story, which is what's happening

>FF16 filtered the degenerates audience
and that's a good thing
Looks right to me.
Online discourse is simply delusional, and yet the 7-8-10 axis is what FF is known by.
>reading fanfic in 2000+23
there’s still fanfic writers? I thought they were a dying breed or moved on to other hobbies
At first I didn’t care about ff16 then I played the demo and was excited and had high expectations for the narrative. Was hugely disappointed by the story we got to the point I had to start skipping dialogue towards the end.
its 4million now by the way
>making up numbers
XVI-kun...
>its tracking with both XV and 7Re sales percentage
So are we going to move the goalposts again once it hits 5 million?
>numbers are still at 3 million
>XVI-kun thinks him repeating 4 million will make it so
Grim.
>cope
shill moment

He's referring to IGN's article here
https://www.ign.com/articles/square-enix-responds-to-final-fantasy-16-sales-concern-points-to-ps5-install-base
but even they admit that it might just be a smidge bluster on Square's part.
oh so we believe ~~*bloomberg*~~ now ? lmao
>He believes ((IGN))
You're embarrassing yourself. IGN even conceded to Bloomberg's initial report. The article from IGN is Square' PR department running full on damage control in response.
who do i trust, the man who attended the investor call, or the man working for bloomberg who did not, and wrote the article anyway ? Hmmmmm
*man who deleted tweet making these claims
>no mention of 4 million
lmao
XVI-kun simply made it up. But it was graceful of you to try to find him a source
I like to be impartial.. but yeah silly me really he's just a shill or cultist.
Very low milestone for a mainline FF
https://www.glitched.online/final-fantasy-xvi-failed-to-meet-square-enixs-expectations-after-all/
Google is filled with essentially Square lamentation. Shit title.
all clickbait btw. FF16 made its money back and is profitable since the start of Q2 2024 (july 1st 2023)
> People still think Clive dies and Joshua lives
You're joking, right? Haven't you ever read between the lines in your life??
>Y-Y-YOU DON'T HAVE A PS5
>Y-Y-YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT!!!!
lol lmao even
>barry so mad about ff16
you love to see it. ff16 was a masterpiece.
You gotta be high as hell to think 16 is even GotY material let alone GotY.
I think it would be nice, for squares sake. The DO put in a lot of effort in so many titles. But I’m just not feeling it, as a casual observer that can read the room. Makes me a bit sad for them, really. Fr
Scarlet Cyclone and Rising Flames never left my slots throughout the game. Felt like they were the best basic abilities.
