they said it was good first but then 2nd week hit
The game isn't a flop, but it is a disappointment. Still, US sales are irrelevant to OP's article since it's about Japan, where the game got BTFO by Pikmin 4 over the course of a weekend. Even being optimistic, the game is at best akin to how Super Mario 3D World performed back on the Wii U.
>muh MMO is played by over 30 million trannies, whatever Yoshids makes can't fail! >FF16 flops everywhere >Japs hate it to the point of ignoring all merch and collab events
LMAO how does this fricking hack feel right now
This has to be a humbling experience for him, to say the least. I hope it helps him grow and have better design philosophies and expectations for the next time he steps outside of his MMO hugbox.
Yoshida is a hack fraud before he is a westaboo, so he absolutely picked up the popular normie media in the West to help his game sell outside Japan. He didn't even bother to give FFXVI a Japanese lipsync.
It's a common occurrence, specially during the 360/PS3 days. I'm sure someone has a comic making fun of this. >Japanese game sells well in the west >"For the next game we should appeal more to the westerners" >Game flops in the west because it's just a cheap copy of the thing they already see daily, game flops in japan because they don't like to see their games appeal to the west
>XIV is the highest selling FF game by miles >Don't put XVI on PC where most of that playerbase exists >Put it on PS5, the previous CoD box, current FIFA, GTA, and other slop goyim play box
The game is good and there's a reason why at the XIV fanfest they went out of their way to do their memes about putting shit on Xbox and elsewhere because SE now fully understands that exclusives are moronsville. There's fricksups in the game to be sure like no hard mode out the gate but they actively avoided putting the game into hands of people who would buy and play it which is the biggest publisher sin one can do. The PS5 has no games now AND the future so buying one just for XVI would be dumb as frick.
I will never not laugh that they played Big Z's music when Phil Spencer came on stage, they knew exactly what they were doing.
I'm actually sad about the fact that new FF games will be all Unreal Shitgine since Luminous is discarded and they won't give another FF to CBU3(which used their FF14 engine). UE is peak soulless engine.

Figured out what you did.
You (presuming you didn't swipe this from another youtube video) not only turned off the mp charge abilities but also took off the equipment like full bloom to shorten the mp charge.
Then pretended that was the shortest time mp took to refill.
Cope tard I recorded it and am even standing in the same spot as in that clip I recorded
>Cope tard I recorded it
after you took off all of the mp charge related things to reduce the time.
Taking off only the full bloom items only brings it up to 30 seconds, so you for sure also took off all of the abilities too so it could last all the way to 50 seconds
tl;dr: You're a disingenuous little b***h.

The Materia system revolutionized RPGs and even deeper RPGs like path of exile and other games still take inspiration from it to this day
The Story is fantastic with amazing twists with clouds past life and how he has grown to be a delusional man that is trying to recover from his deep trauma. The characters are beloved and have little mini arcs in many of the locations vibrant and interesting locations (Barret, Red etc). Aeriths death will always be one of if not the most iconic in gaming and if you are not a zoomer, you constantly heard about her death everywhere
The world is beautiful and Midgar clashing with the rest of the world is done to show the affect it is having on the world and the contrast between the beautiful fantasy world and the corporate modern day landscape thats draining the land and killing it. Many devs tried to capture this feeling but failed
You are just a seething gay. FFXVI has done NOTHING interesting besides its specticles. It has not even made an impact on the gaming industry like 7 while BG3, TOTK and ER are having devs melt down because of how they cant match those games. FFXVI can only destroy the franchises legacy while copy other pieces of shitty western slop to try to capture people who dont care about the game

No, you sentient enema, the reason people don't care about the FF7R games is because Square Enix managed to fumble what should've been a straightforward project by making it a greedy multi-part saga and letting saying "yes this is fine" when the projects' leads decided to take a subversive fanfiction dump all over the plotline of their "break glass in case of emergency" remake.

The Materia system is fricking ass because it makes characters have zero proper differences due to how they can simply be swapped around. They have no lasting impact on the characters themselves like Jobs in V or Espers in VI.
The story is absolute shlock where you do nothing but meander around trying to find xlues abour Sephiroth while Shinra occasionally shows up to waffle around and get their asses kicked. Aerith's death is wanked because, as I said VII is Billy's First RPG. Galuf's death in V was far more impactful and better played out,
The world is a clusterfrick, not because of Midgar but in spite of it. If they actually bothered to keep things uniform and make more places like Rocket Town to show Shinra's effects on the world it would have been presented in a far better way rather than "Here's a bunch of teepees in a canyon, here's Not!Japan, and here's a Ski Lodge".
Nothing that's done in VII isn't done better in other FFs.

Max has played ff6, ff7, tactics, multiple ff11 xpacs, ff12 but stopped before the final boss because he got bored, ff15 and its dlc, ff7r and its dlc, ff7cc, ff7dc, dissidias, seen ff7ac, ff16, also did kh1 and kh2
You'd be surprised how popular they are in Japan. Living is cheap as chips over there so they find over ways to siphon your disposable income, hence why they entertainment industry is such a big thing in Japan. Its just that nobody cares about FF16
>The collaboration cafe for FF15 was so well-received that they continued it until the 7th installment. >On the final day, a long line formed in front of the store. >Somehow or another, I think it was really popular among fujoshi.
We lost to FFXV again, 16bros...
ff15 cafe was popular because fujos keep final fantasy's economy running. the gay one was the only xvi character selling out of merch but they gave him next to nothing because they were scared of homosexual backlash so they shot themselves in the foot early
Dear lord it's fricking over >cries over having only to ship for ps5 >blames consumers and investors >still shilling a pile of garbage >shits on turn based fans >tells fans to get excited for fps FF17

saying "I wish there was just one platform to develop for" isn't blaming the consumers, it's just a developer who wants his job to be easier you blithering moron.
Well considering DQ11 only launched to a lukewarm 2.7m on multiple platforms it's probably better to make a bad action game than a "good" turn based lmao

Bet the previous SE CEO already signed a deal with Epic like he did FF7R. It’s as good as dead. FF7R didn’t do that great when it finally came to Steam later when the hype had long died off.
You screamed at the top of my lungs that Final Fantasy fanbase "is on playstation" but now that FF16 didn't meet sales expectations PC is supposed to save it. FF7R dropped with zero hype on Steam and sold ~300k copies by now. Well, maybe a PC port can finally push FF16 toward 4 million copies for you copers to boast about, lmao.

Do you want the honest answer? As a company, it made sense for [Square Enix] to distance themselves from me. Obviously, I had a strong influence on the people who were there and that’s not necessarily a positive thing for a company that needs to carry on and continue growing. I can understand why things played out the way they did. However, 15 years have passed, and the people who are working there now and making Final Fantasy games now are not people I have worked with before, so my influence won’t be as big on them as it might have been in the past. >I wouldn’t say this represents a reconciliation so much as a new era. But I think Square Enix is also afraid that people are going to associate any success of the new Final Fantasy with the my seeming return, as if I have any influence on the game or am involved with the development. So they simply want me to show my face once in awhile as the initial creator of the series. >RS: So it’s more of an endorsement? >Sakaguchi: Yes, that’s right.

>First encounter between Sakaguchi and Tabata >--”You were both at the company at different times, so there wasn't a point of contact between you back then. How did you two meet?”
>Tabata: We didn’t have any connection, besides almost bumping into each other at PAX Prime 2014. I’d heard that Sakaguchi-san was coming and was hoping to introduce myself, but my timing was off.
>Sakaguchi: I only heard this after the event. I was there promoting Terra Battle, and press commitments prevented us from meeting.
>Tabata: I was musing on the missed opportunity when I heard about Sakaguchi-san congratulating us on our 10th anniversary (a joke about the lengthy development period of FFXV)! (laughs)
>Sakaguchi: Sorry about that. I was tired from the interview and went a bit far.
>Tabata: The comment didn't bother me, but Sakaguchi-san contacted me at a later date saying he wanted to apologize and chat about FFXV. Kitase-san and Sakaguchi-san met as part of Famitsu's Mobius Final Fantasy coverage, so the three of us went for a meal afterwards.

Now that the staff list was posted, a a very FF looking character clearly modeled by the agni philosophy modeller, and an "ongoing project" now listed on the site that wasn't there before it's clear the console game is in some steady development now seperate from the meta stuff
also some of that meta stuff just has them using some of the world setting elements from one of their games in it

OK, tell me one right now. No high tech, no magic and after the game ends the place is just Europe. How can you copare that world to something like Spira.

Usually during this kind of event/collab you make a reservation for a specific day and timeslot, you arrive and you order food and drinks that are supposed to be references to the franchise of the collab, and everytime you order something you get a random coaster or other collectibles. And then you have goods that are exclusive to this specific event. I went to an event for a yaoi manga last month and found out how that works for the first time, I was a bit confused and some Japanese fujoshi who went there alone just like me wanted to trade some coasters because they had the same ones several times from going there several times, it was fun. I saw some Japanese girls on twitter posting pictures of the FF16 collab and posting their food and coasters.

They are cracking jokes at the failure of the game and roasting it when meanwhile you get rabbid seethers here crying and shitting themselves anytime someone shits on the game while screaming BARRY BARRY BARRY
13 is the only game in the series that's been abandoned to its old versions. No remasters, no new ports, no updates, nothing. It's been memory holed for a good reason.
BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY BARRY
Judges a game's success off of the following metrics
>total youtube views on pre-release trailers >total youtube views on post-release trailers >amount of fan art the game has received >amount of fanfiction the game has received >the amount of people at a game's themes cafe <=== YOU ARE HERE
What will this fricking moron think of next. I need some more schizo metrics, these are a riot.
>FFXVI hate schizo is so butt hurt over YoshiP and Final Fantasy he's not posting about a theme cafe
What the frick is this shit? Can Tendies do their job and get rid of this spamming moron for frick sake.
Tendies' reskin of their 10 fps 320p game got assraped by BG3 so hard, they have nothing left but to post some info from random cafee in Japan.
Prisu understandu
Mods have posted about this homosexual before he goes through VPNs like mad, he doesn’t do it for free, it literally costs him money. He does it for negative money.
>He spams FF16/ YoshiP seethe threads daily for FREE
>5ch has to put up with him now
that is unironically fricking hilarious, sorry about Australia nipbros it's been a problem for us for a while
[...]
He’s also purchased ffxiv accounts to post on the official forums about muh tabata muh ffxv before too. Dude legit spends all his neetbux to shill ffxv
He is, he's gone full deep end moron downloaded translation plugins and is now spamming 5chn forums.
Sounds like you and your discord is buck broken by barry
Theres no dedicated individual 16gay spamming every corner of the internet in the way Barry does.
Barry is actually some insane man who should legally not be allowed online. That hand pic causes him to freak out so bad
Are you coping because you're getting laughed at in /ffg/ and on Ganker, dumb xvi cultist?
VII is fricking shit and is only remembered fondly because Tifa's breasts and that it was Billy's First PS RPG.
The Materia system is fricking garbage, the story is mediocre, the world is a crazed mishmash of ideas slammed together and forced to work, and the Compilation is a flat out cancer upon the entire FF franchise.
I'm just happy the shadowbabies are finally joining the rest of the unhappy playerbase in the fight against this mediocre developer
Even the wow refugees realized and have turned around, it's great. Square Enix and Yoshida deserve hell for ruining what could have been a great game in favor of short-term profit.
Let's see them dig themselves out of this hole.
Considering Barry has been spamming daily for months now is his strategy just to over saturate the board with any negative news made up or not on this board to force a consus?
I believe people here are in fact stupid enough to lack the pattern recognition of his posts and fall for his gaslighting.
XVI cultists are actually this insecure holy frick
How are you fricks this detached from reality?

>his gaslighting.
Barry himself is a moron but XVI itself is not doing great regardless of him.
You can ignore him but you can't ignore SE's stock dropping since XVI came out, japan's lack of interest in XVI and then more recently yoshida making a fool out of himself in interviews.
>turn based Barry has become almost indistinguishable from real Barry
I'm kind of proud that I took part in breaking the old man and I didn't even need to play 16 to do it
is that the guy that keeps posting the completely nonsensical mspaint scratchings with gigachad randomly pasted in
i really wonder if they have some kind of disability, not just "been on the internet too much" or "brown" kind of disability
FFXVI could have copies being burned by the thousands and FFXVI gays will literally avoid and deflect how much of a failure this game is to scream how Barry was somehow the one at fault
I would have went there if I was still in Japan even if I can't play the game anytime soon. I came back home a month ago and before leaving I went to events like this but for much more obscure shit. And by that I mean yaoi. I went to Artnia instead and ate some pancakes, they were pretty good.
No, they only are correct about forspoken objectively running better than ff16
forspoken however mogs ff16 in graphics too
DFs tech tests on res and fps are objective
their opinions aren't, nobody cares about their opinion
they literally tried to say ff16 looks like ff13 cgi level and everyone called them out for such a shitty opinion
Another day, another seethe at YoshiP rent free thread. Imagine spending your days seething at a man for ten years, on a website where the owner is personal friends with.
Fricking kek.

It’s actually so fricking funny. Like people hate Kojima and shit for stuff like MGSV but don’t make it their life’s mission. And they were invested in the series, not like this gay who is obsessed because…..because he just has to be

>Thought Yoshida would make a good game after witnessing Heavensward and Shadowbringers >Turns out it was shit and an FF in name only
Yoshida really is just the Japanese version of Dave Filoni.
Maybe if they make a Final Fantasy X Front Mission crossover that plays like a mix of Final Fantasy Tactics and classic Front Mission then that would've garnered more money than 16.
I'm convinced guys. I think FF15 and Forspoken are actually some pretty good games and were unfairly judged on this board when they originally released.
No.
I'm tired of games that you'll have to wait months for patches, fixes and content that should've been there in the first place, only for it being a decent experience at best in the end after all that.
I've just gotten used to buying games a year or two after release because of exactly this anyway. It's not like I have FOMO for Ganker discussions anymore because all threads for new releases are the same shit every single thread anyway where people yell about shills and trannies or whatever.
So I get more enjoyment from the game after a year or two of patches and the threads are generally higher quality after that because the shitposters have moved on. It's a win/win.
>a different image with no proof that its connected to the video.
I just tested it myself. With all the actual abilities, its only 22 seconds long. Not even counting an ability like mp rage or mp hastega that comes with ultimate weapon.
You're a lying homosexual.
So why does he hate YoshiP so much anyway?
I get the sense that he never really played FFXIV to begin with so the immense hatred seems oddly unnatural.
He hates everything that outshines his beloved XV, and by extention Luminous and Forspoken.
These games just happens to be more likely to be compared with XV because communities, genre, franchise or release date, but I bet if people were comparing Luminous games with other unrelated games like BG3 daily he would have been seething too.
He was caught reposting from /gif/ troony porn of a porno with who he thought looked like YoshiP.
He lacks complete self-awareness, he's browsing troony porn on /gif/. Someone post the screen cap please.

It’s because he’s tangentially related to the company that worked on ffxv
My favorite Barry posts are when he scrambles to try to convince people that he doesn't exist and the people that call him out are actually the ones who are schizos. Stuff like this always follows a bunch of posts laughing at him.
Yes, anon, (You) are sane. There's nothing abnormal about a thread where about 50 posts are pure lore dumps on a supposed namegay.
There's nothing abnormal about keeping an encyclopedic knowledge on supposed namegay on Ganker who posts about...FF XV.
XVI cultists are so mindbroken they're trying to literally claim everyone on 5ch shitting on ff16 is their barry boogeyman
Holy frick ff16 flopping has utter broken them
Nathan why are you projecting? You're little here shilling and obsessing over your boogeymans even harder than anything you claim You're boogeyman does
>xvi discord cultist samegayging >samegayging
You are such a moron Barry lmao
It's always so easy to spot you because you use words and you don't know what they mean.
I think the story is a bit too grim and somber to appeal to the crowd that goes to themed cafes.
I also noticed there wasnt enough interactions and banter among the characters for people to find them fun enough to go to said cafes and get a drink with some shitty coaster with their characters in them.
No, I think it's because it's a bit too early for that event to happen when many people haven't finished the game or will play it later because they don't have a PS5 yet most likely.
He usually stays away from the retro FF discussions as he's focused primarily on shitting on FF16 and FF7Rebirth. But any modern FF discussions? Probably not.
XV magic is pretty based since its like DD with how you aim it
Meanwhile ff16 has no magic, just dmc gun projectile reskinned with no magic stat or elemental affinities
Ring magic uses MP to cast, warp magic uses MP to use, Ignis magic uses his own mp meter that must be fully charged to cast.
Elemancy is completely different from those and is crafting absorbed energy into flasks to use like Dragons Dogma by manually aiming then casting it, or instacast it like 7R or KH.
Meanwhile FF16 has no MP, no magic stat, no elemental weaknesses, no status effects, no difference between using magic or physical attacks and uses DMC guns reskinned as "magic" which is functionally worse than these """""""grenades""""""" you sperg over.
Why did they move away from having unique designs for all the characters in FF games? They're all just wearing black leather jackets
The 4 guys in black are more distinct than literally anyone in ff16, 13, 12, 14, 11 etc
What drives someone to this?
I'll admit there are FF entries I'm not a fan of but I just don't really play them and sometimes I'll post about the things I don't like about those games every so often when a civil FF thread pops up.
I would never spend this much time and effort doing...whatever this even is.
Ask yourself why "Barry" shows up whenever it is convenient for those talking about him lmao.
Oh wait, (You) are the same falseflagger.
FF XIV made the fanbase so autistic and cancerous that it defies common belief.

Who the frick cares about what others play? Not our fault you spend hours stalking what some mmohomosexuals play like a schizo, just stop going to those threads for your own well being
I wonder what was the trigger that mind broke barry all these years ago. There must be some heavy trauma hidden behind these shitposts for him to do it daily dor 10 years. People out there stalking chrischan when this schizo is on the loose and obsessed with a single game for a decade
I can't even fathom shitposting about a single game for almost 10 years. I can't think of a single game I love enough to push me to that kind of behavior. I assume it's born from hatred instead of love? I have no idea.
Anon, he’s an abo mutt. It’s literally that simple. Not only is he brown but he’s the worst of the worst. Have you ever read up on abo culture? It’s horrific
>defending a dead studio instead of drawing OC DMons
Wtf is your problem Barry? I cant emulate early 2000s DeviantAet Sonic OC style. I need you to make me some DMons for inspiration.
I think FF16, FF15, and Forespoken are all shit and Square Enix needs massive management changes to fix their AAA titles.
Their budget titles are their saving grace rn.
They really struggle from a hierarchy of boomers in leadership that have no clue what their customers want. They chase trends but it always feels like they're behind a couple years on whatever is the current "thing". It's like watching someone continuously shoot themselves in the foot over and over and act confused why their foot is gone.
Their budget titles need more love to actually be good and not just passable. Octopath Traveler needed to have actual good dungeons that made use of the OCTO part of the name like FF6's Pheonix Cave or something.
This thread is literally just a Barry-obssessed discord jerking each other off over Barry. There is literally no difference between him and all of you.
Themed cafes are a pretty big part of Japanese culture, aren't they? I imagine if your collaboration cafe isn't doing good, then neither is the game or series that the cafe is based on.
>Known as the RPG company >Remove more and more RPG elements from your main title >Replace content with none interactive MOVIE cinematic cutscenes by the hours
What was the last "good" FF? FF10 or FF12? It's been almost fifteen years it feels like.
Man, Barry is just reaching out to the most random shit just to dunk of XVI trying to claim it flopped.
Then again Barry thinks Forspoken didn;t flop
SE themselves said it flopped, bro.
where?

>But Barry!
The game isn't a flop, but it is a disappointment. Still, US sales are irrelevant to OP's article since it's about Japan, where the game got BTFO by Pikmin 4 over the course of a weekend. Even being optimistic, the game is at best akin to how Super Mario 3D World performed back on the Wii U.

LMAO how does this fricking hack feel right now
This has to be a humbling experience for him, to say the least. I hope it helps him grow and have better design philosophies and expectations for the next time he steps outside of his MMO hugbox.
I'm mad, I got my second ear pierced expecting that they'll put up Homochad Dion's earrings on sale.
How do you expect a game to sell so well which is an exclusive to a least-owned console?
Hope it gets a second chance in pc. I really liked Dion
It absolutely will
PS5 is just that toxic(nuconsoles in general)
>I got my second ear pierced
To be fair, the game is tailor-made for Westerners. Nips on 2ch and twitter have been complaining since the character designs were revealed.
>made for westerners
made by westaboos*
Important difference
Yoshida is a hack fraud before he is a westaboo, so he absolutely picked up the popular normie media in the West to help his game sell outside Japan. He didn't even bother to give FFXVI a Japanese lipsync.
final fantasy never had any trouble selling in the west though, pandering seems pointless
It's a common occurrence, specially during the 360/PS3 days. I'm sure someone has a comic making fun of this.
>Japanese game sells well in the west
>"For the next game we should appeal more to the westerners"
>Game flops in the west because it's just a cheap copy of the thing they already see daily, game flops in japan because they don't like to see their games appeal to the west
FF games sold better when the West was considered a secondary market by Square.
Every FF game starting from XII (maybe even XI) is tailor-made for westerners
DQ is the true nip JRPG series
>series based on western fantasy/RPG
>RRRREEEEEE WHY DOES IT HAVE WESTERN INFLUENCE
>XIV is the highest selling FF game by miles
>Don't put XVI on PC where most of that playerbase exists
>Put it on PS5, the previous CoD box, current FIFA, GTA, and other slop goyim play box
The game is good and there's a reason why at the XIV fanfest they went out of their way to do their memes about putting shit on Xbox and elsewhere because SE now fully understands that exclusives are moronsville. There's fricksups in the game to be sure like no hard mode out the gate but they actively avoided putting the game into hands of people who would buy and play it which is the biggest publisher sin one can do. The PS5 has no games now AND the future so buying one just for XVI would be dumb as frick.
I will never not laugh that they played Big Z's music when Phil Spencer came on stage, they knew exactly what they were doing.
>barrybarrybarrybarry
FFXVI schizo is like a broken record.
oh no! not the Square Enix Cafe! WTF??!1!!
>5ch screenshot thread
lmao they have a barry coping that luminous is on ff17. that's funny.
I'm actually sad about the fact that new FF games will be all Unreal Shitgine since Luminous is discarded and they won't give another FF to CBU3(which used their FF14 engine). UE is peak soulless engine.
>a Barry
It’s the same fricking guy you moron, he literally posts google translate bullshit, screen caps his own post and goes look what le nips are saying
ahahaha get fricked barry
Is Barry google translate shitposting there?
He is, he's gone full deep end moron downloaded translation plugins and is now spamming 5chn forums.
He’s also purchased ffxiv accounts to post on the official forums about muh tabata muh ffxv before too. Dude legit spends all his neetbux to shill ffxv

damn is Maximilian dood barry too because he said ff15 is better than 16?
Who?
Someone SE paid to shill ff16
….who?
Someone SE paid to shill ff16 only for him to say it was meh and that 15 was better
You follow this dude and watch his 7 hour video essays?
>a playthrough is an essay
holy frick how underage are ff16 gays?
Wait so you watch his whole playthrough? You follow this man?
Why are ff16 shills suddenly pretending they never heard of Maximilian dood? you gays were shilling him non stop when he first started playing it
>he doesn't know THE biggest celeb in the fighting game community
haha wow. embarrassing for you, dude.
No, Max is a fightan gayme moron who thinks VII was the best FF ever.
>VII was the best FF ever
Correct, something FFXVI is the opposite of
VII is fricking shit and is only remembered fondly because Tifa's breasts and that it was Billy's First PS RPG.
The Materia system is fricking garbage, the story is mediocre, the world is a crazed mishmash of ideas slammed together and forced to work, and the Compilation is a flat out cancer upon the entire FF franchise.
FF16 gay malding. Jill doesn't even have breasts to compensate for the absolute blandness of her character. Clive who? This moronic hispanics ranks lower than Lightning, lmao. Just admit that your shit game is even worse than the compilation.
>MUH XVI
Shut the frick up homosexual, I don't give a rat's ass about XVI, I'm just sick and tired of pretending VII is some hallowed fricking ground when it was SHIT.
VIII was way fricking better than VII.
>FF16 gays are so humiliated they hide behind FF8
kek lmao even
I've played every mainline FF title and a fair number of the spinoffs.
VII is fricking garbage my dude.
>literally a shit ff16 thread

cope xvi-kun
He didn't play the full game only the prerelease demo. actual Forspoken has hitstop, meanwhile kh2 has no hitstop
>actual Forspoken has hitstop, meanwhile kh2 has no hitstop
wow barry directly LYING about shit who would've guessed.
I can already see you post the KH2 hydra fight webm as an example like you always do with out understanding how the games systems work.
Why doesn't kh2 have hitstop? Why does kh2 have worse cooldown than xv?
>Why does kh2 have worse cooldown than xv?
are you trying to say longer?
because there are abilities to shorten the time in kh2. You disabling them to shitpost wouldn't be surprising.
That is the shortest time it fills up moron
xv refills in literally half the time of kh2s quickest refill
>That is the shortest time it fills up moron
of course it is.
Figured out what you did.
You (presuming you didn't swipe this from another youtube video) not only turned off the mp charge abilities but also took off the equipment like full bloom to shorten the mp charge.
Then pretended that was the shortest time mp took to refill.
>Cope tard I recorded it
after you took off all of the mp charge related things to reduce the time.
Taking off only the full bloom items only brings it up to 30 seconds, so you for sure also took off all of the abilities too so it could last all the way to 50 seconds
tl;dr: You're a disingenuous little b***h.
>xvi-kun so butt blasted he needs mp quickening abilities to increase recharge just to get it to the same refill time as XVs refil
OH NO NO NO KH2 IS TRASH HAHAHA
has no hitstop
no directional inputs
longer default mp recharge than xv
no manual finishers
only magic needed is reflected and cure
cope
>he needs mp quickenin
>That is the shortest time it fills up moron
>xv refills in literally half the time of kh2s quickest refill
So you did in fact, lie.
It's the shortest default time you moron, not my problem you're coping and need multiple mp quickening abilities turned on just to get it to ffxv default mp recharge speed
>get it to ffxv default mp recharge speed
Its faster by ten seconds
>It's the shortest default time
So you did in fact lie about it.
I told you from the start that you probably weren't using MP abilities. You whined and said that it was the fastest possible time period.
I had to prove that you were lying and now you're whining you got caught.
Don't lie about results, Bazztek tips.
>I don't give a rat's ass about XVI,
>came to a xvi thread so he can whine about VII instead
who knew VII's popularity caused people to spiral into madness this badly.
The Materia system revolutionized RPGs and even deeper RPGs like path of exile and other games still take inspiration from it to this day
The Story is fantastic with amazing twists with clouds past life and how he has grown to be a delusional man that is trying to recover from his deep trauma. The characters are beloved and have little mini arcs in many of the locations vibrant and interesting locations (Barret, Red etc). Aeriths death will always be one of if not the most iconic in gaming and if you are not a zoomer, you constantly heard about her death everywhere
The world is beautiful and Midgar clashing with the rest of the world is done to show the affect it is having on the world and the contrast between the beautiful fantasy world and the corporate modern day landscape thats draining the land and killing it. Many devs tried to capture this feeling but failed
You are just a seething gay. FFXVI has done NOTHING interesting besides its specticles. It has not even made an impact on the gaming industry like 7 while BG3, TOTK and ER are having devs melt down because of how they cant match those games. FFXVI can only destroy the franchises legacy while copy other pieces of shitty western slop to try to capture people who dont care about the game
Nobody is reading any of this shit, FF7 is boomslop which is why nobody cares about the remakes
>Gets BTFO'D
>IM NOT READING...THAT
Kek just take the L and move on
XVI cultists keep getting eviscerated and unable to respond...
no wonder ff16 flopped and is currently selling worse than Forspoken in the UK

>UK trying to make customers take out the trash for them
I thought Americans where supposed to be the lazy ones?
>which is why nobody cares about the remakes
No, you sentient enema, the reason people don't care about the FF7R games is because Square Enix managed to fumble what should've been a straightforward project by making it a greedy multi-part saga and letting saying "yes this is fine" when the projects' leads decided to take a subversive fanfiction dump all over the plotline of their "break glass in case of emergency" remake.
>no
Stopped reading there. Nobody gives a frick about your nostagliashit. It’s boomslop.
>BUT
>MUH
>XVI
The Materia system is fricking ass because it makes characters have zero proper differences due to how they can simply be swapped around. They have no lasting impact on the characters themselves like Jobs in V or Espers in VI.
The story is absolute shlock where you do nothing but meander around trying to find xlues abour Sephiroth while Shinra occasionally shows up to waffle around and get their asses kicked. Aerith's death is wanked because, as I said VII is Billy's First RPG. Galuf's death in V was far more impactful and better played out,
The world is a clusterfrick, not because of Midgar but in spite of it. If they actually bothered to keep things uniform and make more places like Rocket Town to show Shinra's effects on the world it would have been presented in a far better way rather than "Here's a bunch of teepees in a canyon, here's Not!Japan, and here's a Ski Lodge".
Nothing that's done in VII isn't done better in other FFs.
Max has played ff6, ff7, tactics, multiple ff11 xpacs, ff12 but stopped before the final boss because he got bored, ff15 and its dlc, ff7r and its dlc, ff7cc, ff7dc, dissidias, seen ff7ac, ff16, also did kh1 and kh2
So you agree with assessment that Frospoken doesn't have hitstop after all he is a fighting game player and knows what he's talking about
That's 100% barry using google tl/deepl
>barry seethes so hard it transcends the language barrier
But anyway, I do wonder how many crossposters we actually have from the JP chans.
should have made a pikmin collaboration cafe instead oh no no no no ffsisters fpbp etc etc
maybe charging ¥2,200 for a small hotdog and melon soda with unpopular game decorations on the table is an unattractive proposition for consumers.
What, you don't want a cardboard cutout of a homosexual man and his bf stare at you as you eat overpriced konbini delicacies?
Yet, vtuber pop up cafes are doing fine so what's Final Fantasy XVI's excuse again?
You'd be surprised how popular they are in Japan. Living is cheap as chips over there so they find over ways to siphon your disposable income, hence why they entertainment industry is such a big thing in Japan. Its just that nobody cares about FF16
How small a hottodogu are we talking about?
>The collaboration cafe for FF15 was so well-received that they continued it until the 7th installment.
>On the final day, a long line formed in front of the store.
>Somehow or another, I think it was really popular among fujoshi.
We lost to FFXV again, 16bros...
ff15 cafe was popular because fujos keep final fantasy's economy running. the gay one was the only xvi character selling out of merch but they gave him next to nothing because they were scared of homosexual backlash so they shot themselves in the foot early

Well considering DQ11 only launched to a lukewarm 2.7m on multiple platforms it's probably better to make a bad action game than a "good" turn based lmao
Yeah, now all FF has to do is to sell 3.5m MORE units to break even with DQ... surely it's in the bag...
PC will save it.
Roflmao. PC won't be saving shit. The game's trash.
Bet the previous SE CEO already signed a deal with Epic like he did FF7R. It’s as good as dead. FF7R didn’t do that great when it finally came to Steam later when the hype had long died off.
You screamed at the top of my lungs that Final Fantasy fanbase "is on playstation" but now that FF16 didn't meet sales expectations PC is supposed to save it. FF7R dropped with zero hype on Steam and sold ~300k copies by now. Well, maybe a PC port can finally push FF16 toward 4 million copies for you copers to boast about, lmao.
>ou screamed at the top of my lungs that Final Fantasy fanbase "is on playstation"
It is, but 16 is not FF

I really hope 16 doesn't sell another copy just so I can watch SE die in my lifetime, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yes ff and square enix will live, get over it

Like you people yell at the wall he won't see your messages here.
He killed final fantasy as a brand tho
Think about it, the dogshit that is 16 will represent the mainline series for the next 7 years
Kids of today will have passed college and gotten married in 7 years time. So you just lost another generation who doesnt care about your shit
Theyre already struggling still selling 7 remake sequels to boomers in their mid 30s and 40s. Theyre running out of mindshare and marketshare
He introduced final fantasy to a wider female audience and that's where all the money is coming from, old fans stopped mattering since a decade ago.
fujoshits were already a major audience since at least FFX if not earlier
>B-B-BUT NINTENDO
have a nice day
hori's pushing 70, I wouldn't want to end my legacy on a title like this
>DQ is no longer DQ
Guess I will just wait for the porn of XII. Should really finish VI already too had it on hold for months.
It did better than your thread. Have a (You).
>yes i will sue you for slander
I love how they have same sense of humor as us
As per Sakaguchi, the ultimate delusion was CBU3 drones thinking that FF16 could ever make money, lol.
I'm curious how much they payed Sakaguchi to suck off Yoshit Piss. Guy has done nothing but advertise for his games.
sakugachi has always been a mmoBlack person(as myself) so he's on the xiv fan cult (so do I)
Sakaguchi has proven to be a sellout as long as he gets to be attached to the franchise that was once considered his.
His praise for FF15 felt genuine at least, his latest statement for FF16 makes no sense.
>His praise for FF15 felt genuine at least
lol it was quid pro quo.
He admitted tabata begged him to help promote the game.
XV later had a crossover with sakaguchi's own terra battle 2.
nope and he was the one who gave his feedback to tabata on episode duscae unprompted
>nope
yep

>Sakaguchi: That’s a difficult question. Do you want the honest answer? As a company, it made sense for [Square Enix] to distance themselves from me. Obviously, I had a strong influence on the people who were there and that’s not necessarily a positive thing for a company that needs to carry on and continue growing. I can understand why things played out the way they did. However, 15 years have passed, and the people who are working there now and making Final Fantasy games now are not people I have worked with before, so my influence won’t be as big on them as it might have been in the past.
>I wouldn’t say this represents a reconciliation so much as a new era. But I think Square Enix is also afraid that people are going to associate any success of the new Final Fantasy with the my seeming return, as if I have any influence on the game or am involved with the development. So they simply want me to show my face once in awhile as the initial creator of the series.
>RS: So it’s more of an endorsement?
>Sakaguchi: Yes, that’s right.
>coment after Sakaguchi appeared on stage
moron SAKAGUCHI is the one who contacted tabata to give him feedback on episode duscae
>who contacted tabata
other way around
>So since he’s taken the Final Fantasy baton, he (tabata) was wondering who would be best to talk to about the initial games and eventually came to me.
Nope you fricking moron
Sakaguchi contacted Tabata to give him feedback on episode duscae and that's how the two started talking
A whole year later after episode duscae he then asked him to come on stage which Sakaguchi only agreed to because he said he likes how tabata thinks
>Sakaguchi contacted Tabata
Other way around.
>Schreier: Has Sakaguchi played the game?
>Tabata: He played Episode Duscae. I think that’s what caused him to come around on our side and support us — it convinced him. He told me that he really felt like Final Fantasy has moved on to the next generation.

>First encounter between Sakaguchi and Tabata
>--”You were both at the company at different times, so there wasn't a point of contact between you back then. How did you two meet?”
>Tabata: We didn’t have any connection, besides almost bumping into each other at PAX Prime 2014. I’d heard that Sakaguchi-san was coming and was hoping to introduce myself, but my timing was off.
>Sakaguchi: I only heard this after the event. I was there promoting Terra Battle, and press commitments prevented us from meeting.
>Tabata: I was musing on the missed opportunity when I heard about Sakaguchi-san congratulating us on our 10th anniversary (a joke about the lengthy development period of FFXV)! (laughs)
>Sakaguchi: Sorry about that. I was tired from the interview and went a bit far.
>Tabata: The comment didn't bother me, but Sakaguchi-san contacted me at a later date saying he wanted to apologize and chat about FFXV. Kitase-san and Sakaguchi-san met as part of Famitsu's Mobius Final Fantasy coverage, so the three of us went for a meal afterwards.
>Sakaguchi: That's right. Kitase was there too when we first met.
>Tabata: Yes. Sakaguchi-san knew that I was working on FFXV, and his first comment was “Sorry about that '10-year' remark. I finally get to apologize.”
>Sakaguchi: I’d been feeling remorse over that comment.
>Tabata: Then I introduced myself as working on FFXV, and we talked about many things.
https://s.famitsu.com/matome/ff15/2016_05_13_eng.html
Tabata flat out says "Sakaguchi-san contacted me", Sakaguchi is who initiated contact with Tabata
>tabata says
lol

Hows that news about those new AAA games coming along? 2022 sure was a busy year with lots of announcements from jp games
He recently updated his site with staff lists and developing stuff, one of them is his new console game, the metaverse thing is completely seperate
And in july the website updates to have just "project ongoing project" on the list of stuff they're doing which means its in full development now
he said in an interview 2 months ago that because of covid pandemic shit the console game was put on hold while he was doing some metaverse test stuff in the meant until things settled, its seemingly settled now since he posted a staff listing 2 months ago
>Makoto Isomine - “Gravity Rush 1, 2" Producer
>Akira Iwata - "The Last Remnant" Senior Character Modeler, "Agni's Philosophy - FINAL FANTASY REALTIME TECH DEMO" Character Designer/Lead Artist, "FINAL FANTASY XV" 3D Graphics Director
>Tetsuya Imamura - “Ninja Gaiden" Battle/Action Engineer, "FINAL FANTASY XV EPISODE ARDYN" Action Engineer (Imamura was one of the combat designer on Ninja Gaiden 2
>Tomohiro Hasegawa - "FINAL FANTASY XV" Art Director, "SaGa Frontier" Graphic Designer, "The World Ends with You" Co-Director
>Kenichi Shida - "Kingdom Hearts II" Lead Animator, "FINAL FANTASY XV EPISODE GLADIOLUS" and "FINAL FANTASY XV EPISODE PROMPTO" Development Director
>Tomoharu Oiyama - "Agni's Philosophy - FINAL FANTASY REALTIME TECH DEMO" Technical Artist, "FINAL FANTASY XV" Technical Artist
And some more Agni's Philosophy and FFXV devs
>he said in an interview 2 months ago that because of covid pandemic shit
>he made the claim that new info would be coming out in 2022. While this pandemic stuff was still actually relevant
>either he's lying or he's a huge moron who doesn't know how to plan his projects
>both could probably be true
lol
lmao even
moron he said the console game was on hold in 2021
Meanwhile ff16 took 8 years and flopped
ff7r took 8 years and is unfinished and flopped
kh3 took 7 years and is unfinished and killed KH
>moron he said the console game was on hold in 2021
*only just now stated this as damage control
Nope he said its been on hold since then and he's been testing the meta shit which explains why no updates on the console thing and why he had various little metaverse things pop up in the last 2 years
Now that the staff list was posted, a a very FF looking character clearly modeled by the agni philosophy modeller, and an "ongoing project" now listed on the site that wasn't there before it's clear the console game is in some steady development now seperate from the meta stuff
also some of that meta stuff just has them using some of the world setting elements from one of their games in it
he also just posted a list of positions theyre hiring for which includes 2d artists, 3d artists, cg artists, game designers, producer/project management/directors, game programmers, graphics programmers, animators, character artists, ui artists, etc
>Nope he said its been on hold since then
*He said it recently to damage control his lack of progress.
>hiring for which includes 2d artists, 3d artists, cg artists, game designers, producer/project management/directors, game programmers, graphics programmers, animators, character artists, ui artists, etc
In other words, no one has actually wanted to work for him in the 4 years since he started his company and he needs a whole team to even do anything.
Covid didn't stop him from making the game, his own short-sightedness and lack of interest for his company did.
Proof?
>nobody
>Makoto Isomine - “Gravity Rush 1, 2" Producer
>Akira Iwata - "The Last Remnant" Senior Character Modeler, "Agni's Philosophy - FINAL FANTASY REALTIME TECH DEMO" Character Designer/Lead Artist, "FINAL FANTASY XV" 3D Graphics Director
>Tetsuya Imamura - “Ninja Gaiden" Battle/Action Engineer, "FINAL FANTASY XV EPISODE ARDYN" Action Engineer
>Tomohiro Hasegawa - "FINAL FANTASY XV" Art Director, "SaGa Frontier" Graphic Designer, "The World Ends with You" Co-Director
>Kenichi Shida - "Kingdom Hearts II" Lead Animator, "FINAL FANTASY XV EPISODE GLADIOLUS" and "FINAL FANTASY XV EPISODE PROMPTO" Development Director
>Tomoharu Oiyama - "Agni's Philosophy - FINAL FANTASY REALTIME TECH DEMO" Technical Artist, "FINAL FANTASY XV" Technical Artist
all bigger talent than anyone on ff16 lead or kh3 or 7r lead
You listed 6 staff members and then lied about their roles to make them seem more important than they actually were.
For example
>Kenichi Shida - "Kingdom Hearts II" Lead Animator
He was one of 4 people who was a lead designer in event animations.
jesus christ barry the amount of back to back spamming and posts this close together.
Larry the xvi cultists keeps losing
>site that says GTA5 only sold 2.49m on PS4
HKmoron on suicide watch
KH3 didn't kill KH, that was SE/Disney prioritizing the mobage crowd over the fricking traditional market.
KH3 was mediocre but what really stings is that the best game (from a plot perspective) in the series is mobage crap, AND is crucial to understand KH3.
Final Fantasy will never be good ever again.
in b4 'le it was never good in the first place' posters
Sakaguchi loves XIV and seems to be good friends with Yoshi-P. There was some interview they did for the pixel remasters and Sakaguchi would often just start talking about XIV unprompted.
Pretty funny interview though, he seems like a bro to hang with.
Lmao even Sakaguchi turned into an obnoxious xivgay cultist
I love him!
?t=1949
You're only empowering Barry by screaming his name on mass.
>on mass
Noooo laughing at the moron empowers hiiiim
Don't you get it, the poor dude's been at this for like a decade, nothing is gonna stop him because he can't stop. This has become his life.
it's been 10 years anon
>xvi-kun still postings larpers from threads you yourself got btfo in years ago
Damn no wonder ff16 flopped
>bundles which includes FF16 yet ff16 somehow already fell off top 40
>free games aren't counted as sales either, ff16 is factored into the purchase price itself so all bundles would have to count ff16, yet its nowhere
oh no no no
>bundles which includes FF16 yet ff16 somehow already fell off top 40
look at the image moron, the price of a PS5 with Forspoken is the cheaper option
They literally sold it bundled free since it's the base price of a PS5 in the UK
>ps5 without ff16 and with forspoken is more appealing than PS5 with ff16
oh no no no
yes people generally go for the cheaper option moron
>ff16 so unwanted people would rather get the PS5 with just forspoken
Black person PS5s are already expensive as frick
>noo the no games machine is bought by people who truly just want the console and no games thats why ff16 isn't selling
you can't make this shit up
>【Super Sad News】
Why do Japs do this? What's with the weird preface before the actual news title?
It's to make sure you read something you're in the mood for. The article identifies the content and you can pick and chose if that's the type of content you're in the mood for.
That's how modern 'journalism' is. You're immediately told how you should feel (that is, how to respond to the article) before you even read it.
its hilarious when its translated literally to us westerners, it reads like an ironic headline
Wait that is actually on the nip headlines? I thought it was a meme.
Quotation marks do not exist in Japanese grammar. Instead, the Japanese equivalent of quotation marks is using brackets such as [ ... ]
I know about brackets, I just thought the [* news] shit was something added here ironically, not that it actually is in the fricking headlines.
It is funny and people enjoy it is probably the reason tbh.
Tabloids in English do similar things with sub-headlines. (SHOCKING!)
Good
FF troons deserve to lose
Even the smallest least relevant franchises nobody has ever heard of has people show up to collaboration cafes

yoshi should have retired at fanfest. he could have escaped and had an almost untarnished career but now he will continue on to make the next ffxiv expansion exactly like the current one which already has most people at critical disappointment
he should retire from life
I'm staying in Akihabara in a few weeks.
I'll visit every day just to spite Ganker
Take pics while there, with 'tongue my butthole barry' written down on a postcard in view
I mean, yeah, the world of FFXVI is absolute dogshit, who would want to go to a cafe themed after it.
Yeah, it's not exactly the most lively of worlds to make a themed cafe over.
>Enjoy our new Raped Bearer Milkshake
>Follow it up with Dead Friends and Family Fries, covered in red sauce
>Finish the meal with a nice Blight Hotdog, yummy!
Seriously, and is not like previous FF world were not fricked up but at least they had some redeeming qualities. In XVI even the magic is bad so whats there to like.
Anon, you are going to say the same for ff16
>at least ff16 had some redeeming quality
Its the ff cycle, they get appreciated years later
OK, tell me one right now. No high tech, no magic and after the game ends the place is just Europe. How can you copare that world to something like Spira.
Usually during this kind of event/collab you make a reservation for a specific day and timeslot, you arrive and you order food and drinks that are supposed to be references to the franchise of the collab, and everytime you order something you get a random coaster or other collectibles. And then you have goods that are exclusive to this specific event. I went to an event for a yaoi manga last month and found out how that works for the first time, I was a bit confused and some Japanese fujoshi who went there alone just like me wanted to trade some coasters because they had the same ones several times from going there several times, it was fun. I saw some Japanese girls on twitter posting pictures of the FF16 collab and posting their food and coasters.
Tbh im fine with it flopping, it’s not like they wont do FF anymore. Not every FF game is successful, as long as they are enjoyable to me i dont care
Same.

>The main FF16 defenders are ojisan's and hikokomori
>FF15s collaboration cafe was popular and they held 7 editions, on the last dat there was a really long line in front of the store
>It's the same as FF16s screen, just a dark shadow lol
>16s characters are the most plain out of FF other than the initual early FF characters without personality, so it can't be helped that it only appeals to old man loners
>FF16 is really unpopular
Imagine caring so much about popularity and others opinions lmao
Why are you here then you fricking moron?
This is a video game message board literally to discuss shit like opinions on games and game devs, and post gaming news

KEK, why is 5ch so much more funny than this shithole?
They are cracking jokes at the failure of the game and roasting it when meanwhile you get rabbid seethers here crying and shitting themselves anytime someone shits on the game while screaming BARRY BARRY BARRY
barry doesnt have the bants

At this point only Claire can save us lost souls...

13 is the only game in the series that's been abandoned to its old versions. No remasters, no new ports, no updates, nothing. It's been memory holed for a good reason.
Pikmin won
>Add a FFXIV collab item
>The game is now the best selling thing of all time
Really moronic move not to do that to begin with
Even the fandom doesn't give a shit
Nobody cares to write fanfic for FF16 and that's saying a lot about the current state of the game
Now THIS is a totally useless metric. Way more so than trailer views or pixiv fanart.

Tendies' reskin of their 10 fps 320p game got assraped by BG3 so hard, they have nothing left but to post some info from random cafee in Japan.
Prisu understandu
Hi Eric Why are you in a Barry thread?

Oh my poor tendie, believe me, it's very easy to distinguish seething Barry from seething tendie.
What a fast reply Eric! Do you preparing yourself for tomorrow?
>Do you preparing
Mods have posted about this homosexual before he goes through VPNs like mad, he doesn’t do it for free, it literally costs him money. He does it for negative money.
YoshiP and Final fantasy live rent free in Barry's head. The power of one Japanese man to buck break through mind control.
Sounds like you and your discord is buck broken by barry
simply say they are doing what you are doing and no one will ever catch you, it's fool proof
Yep, you got me. I hope you can one day be as Chad as Barry, one day be just like him
>He spams FF16/ YoshiP seethe threads daily for FREE

that is unironically fricking hilarious, sorry about Australia nipbros it's been a problem for us for a while

>imagine barry and the xvi homosexuals fighting with shitty japanese on 5ch
I already feel bad for the nip anons
i think it's just barry annoying a bunch of confused hikis
Theres no dedicated individual 16gay spamming every corner of the internet in the way Barry does.
Barry is actually some insane man who should legally not be allowed online. That hand pic causes him to freak out so bad
XVI cultists are completely mindbroken
stay in /ffg/
Are you coping because you're getting laughed at in /ffg/ and on Ganker, dumb xvi cultist?
ff16 cultists having a melty
I'm just happy the shadowbabies are finally joining the rest of the unhappy playerbase in the fight against this mediocre developer
Even the wow refugees realized and have turned around, it's great. Square Enix and Yoshida deserve hell for ruining what could have been a great game in favor of short-term profit.
Let's see them dig themselves out of this hole.
Can someone post pics of the empty FFXVI cafe?
I wanna have a good laugh
Can't believe Barry actually won. What a mad lad.
>xv still bad
>he'll never finish his game
>lives in australia
>brown
yeah enjoy it I guess
XV is ludokino
you live in brazil
XVI cultists are actually this insecure holy frick
How are you fricks this detached from reality?
Considering Barry has been spamming daily for months now is his strategy just to over saturate the board with any negative news made up or not on this board to force a consus?
I believe people here are in fact stupid enough to lack the pattern recognition of his posts and fall for his gaslighting.
>*consensus
>his gaslighting.
Barry himself is a moron but XVI itself is not doing great regardless of him.
You can ignore him but you can't ignore SE's stock dropping since XVI came out, japan's lack of interest in XVI and then more recently yoshida making a fool out of himself in interviews.
>turn based Barry has become almost indistinguishable from real Barry
I'm kind of proud that I took part in breaking the old man and I didn't even need to play 16 to do it
is that the guy that keeps posting the completely nonsensical mspaint scratchings with gigachad randomly pasted in
i really wonder if they have some kind of disability, not just "been on the internet too much" or "brown" kind of disability
XVI is crap and a huge failure. Wake up square, even that piece of shit XV was better than this crap. Stop making shit games already.
FFXVI could have copies being burned by the thousands and FFXVI gays will literally avoid and deflect how much of a failure this game is to scream how Barry was somehow the one at fault
Barry paid those people to burn their copies of FFXVI *tips tinfoil hat*
o hai mark
This is post is bait
>YOSHI PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
FRICKING YOSHI PEEEEE
I would have went there if I was still in Japan even if I can't play the game anytime soon. I came back home a month ago and before leaving I went to events like this but for much more obscure shit. And by that I mean yaoi. I went to Artnia instead and ate some pancakes, they were pretty good.
Don't worry. He will take care of JRPGs for (You) and everyone else.
Haha...
haha actually I was thinking the same
Guys Yoshida Pierogis just flew over my house
Flopspoken really broke him, huh?
Don't even care about FF: GoT edition it looks bland as frick
Sounds like flopspoken broke you
>digital foundry
So you agree that FF16 looks better than Forspoken?
6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srq7cZb7jpQ#t=1964
No, they only are correct about forspoken objectively running better than ff16
forspoken however mogs ff16 in graphics too
DFs tech tests on res and fps are objective
their opinions aren't, nobody cares about their opinion
they literally tried to say ff16 looks like ff13 cgi level and everyone called them out for such a shitty opinion
>actually no they're wrong about this thing but they're right about this one because I say so.
>they literally tried to say ff16 looks like ff13 cgi level and everyone called them out for such a shitty opinion
Lying again for shame
Hey Barry, Rent free 😉
Oh my SCIENCE. Sisters did you just hear about yoshitpiss’s latest interview.
You have GOT to peep this right now. Soooooo cuh-RINGE. He ticks all of the “icks”.
Imagine your game being so bad you unironically lose to Barry.
Shouldn't have trusted wowclone devs!
Another day, another seethe at YoshiP rent free thread. Imagine spending your days seething at a man for ten years, on a website where the owner is personal friends with.
Fricking kek.
>I will obsessively stalk this man and post about him every single day for years to come
>why?
>because he…..he works for the company that released a game that was widely panned but I liked and that game had a different director
It’s actually so fricking funny. Like people hate Kojima and shit for stuff like MGSV but don’t make it their life’s mission. And they were invested in the series, not like this gay who is obsessed because…..because he just has to be
>mmogays fellating hiromoot
holy fricking KEK
XVI cultists are crying again lmao
>Thought Yoshida would make a good game after witnessing Heavensward and Shadowbringers
>Turns out it was shit and an FF in name only
Yoshida really is just the Japanese version of Dave Filoni.
Maybe if they make a Final Fantasy X Front Mission crossover that plays like a mix of Final Fantasy Tactics and classic Front Mission then that would've garnered more money than 16.
I'm convinced guys. I think FF15 and Forspoken are actually some pretty good games and were unfairly judged on this board when they originally released.
Anyone else?
I just kneeled with my FREAKIN mind
>an brown schizo influenced him
I'm embarrassed for you that you're so easily influenced by any moron.
No.
I'm tired of games that you'll have to wait months for patches, fixes and content that should've been there in the first place, only for it being a decent experience at best in the end after all that.
I've just gotten used to buying games a year or two after release because of exactly this anyway. It's not like I have FOMO for Ganker discussions anymore because all threads for new releases are the same shit every single thread anyway where people yell about shills and trannies or whatever.
So I get more enjoyment from the game after a year or two of patches and the threads are generally higher quality after that because the shitposters have moved on. It's a win/win.
Yeh cope

>a different image with no proof that its connected to the video.
I just tested it myself. With all the actual abilities, its only 22 seconds long. Not even counting an ability like mp rage or mp hastega that comes with ultimate weapon.
You're a lying homosexual.
Cope tard I recorded it and am even standing in the same spot as in that clip I recorded
So why does he hate YoshiP so much anyway?
I get the sense that he never really played FFXIV to begin with so the immense hatred seems oddly unnatural.
He's mentally ill, that's it. That's the story.
mentally ill
unmedicated
free to roam the internet unsupervised
he got caught beating his monkey to a yoshi p look a like and bullied for it. his hatred is misdirected because of lack of father figure.
He hates everything that outshines his beloved XV, and by extention Luminous and Forspoken.
These games just happens to be more likely to be compared with XV because communities, genre, franchise or release date, but I bet if people were comparing Luminous games with other unrelated games like BG3 daily he would have been seething too.
Feed my seed b***h FF15 sucks asss
>BG3
>Unrelated
ahahaha *wheze* a ha *wheze* haha *wheze* ha
...
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He was caught reposting from /gif/ troony porn of a porno with who he thought looked like YoshiP.
He lacks complete self-awareness, he's browsing troony porn on /gif/. Someone post the screen cap please.
See
It’s because he’s tangentially related to the company that worked on ffxv
So they'll drop a Series X version soon?
never unfortunately

Someone should genuinely warn those japs on 5ch that some schizophrenic foreigner whos obsessed with FF15 and Forspoken is spamming their boards.
>over 20 mentally ill posts in a row obsessing over some supposed "anon"
>haha we are sane
why do MMOs attract such broken people?
My favorite Barry posts are when he scrambles to try to convince people that he doesn't exist and the people that call him out are actually the ones who are schizos. Stuff like this always follows a bunch of posts laughing at him.
Is it successful? It doesn't seem so.
Yes, anon, (You) are sane. There's nothing abnormal about a thread where about 50 posts are pure lore dumps on a supposed namegay.
There's nothing abnormal about keeping an encyclopedic knowledge on supposed namegay on Ganker who posts about...FF XV.
XVI cultists are so mindbroken they're trying to literally claim everyone on 5ch shitting on ff16 is their barry boogeyman
Holy frick ff16 flopping has utter broken them
FF14 is truly made for trannies, so its no surprises only trannies defend ff14 and ff16 and yoshitpiss
does barry even have a lolcow page? considering it's been a decade it seems like that shouldve been a thing already
he goes off site and likely would edit it himself if it got made
he could've be chris-chan 2.0 if we had enough people document him
Nathan why are you projecting? You're little here shilling and obsessing over your boogeymans even harder than anything you claim You're boogeyman does
You might want to check an image before you upload it to your shitposting folder, Barry. No one can read any of the text on that one.
xvi-kun coping again
Just post DMons and I'll stop bullying you
Come again ?
>said you are a bunch of discord trannies responding to each other
>wtf I'm not the same person!?
xvi cultists truly cannot read
>xvi discord cultist samegayging
>samegayging
You are such a moron Barry lmao
It's always so easy to spot you because you use words and you don't know what they mean.
Please understand he has to filter a slurry of abo clicking languages through DeepL
ff16 flopped
>exactly a minute apart from each other
Barry was a mistake
Instead of making 1000th thread about Japanese Boomer and his FF game why not do something with your life?
>kills studio
......Did i do that ?
ff16 killed cbu3? damn...
I think the story is a bit too grim and somber to appeal to the crowd that goes to themed cafes.
I also noticed there wasnt enough interactions and banter among the characters for people to find them fun enough to go to said cafes and get a drink with some shitty coaster with their characters in them.
No, I think it's because it's a bit too early for that event to happen when many people haven't finished the game or will play it later because they don't have a PS5 yet most likely.
That too
Bazzkek is too easy to bait
>NeithOf still malding over his imaginary boogeyman
No wonder ff16 and 7r bombed
I wonder if we'll ever be able to talk about Final Fantasy again without it turning into a freak show.
Probably when DD2 launches or some shit he has huge beef with those devs
And then he'll start another fanbase falsegaygery war. One of many present and future ones.
He usually stays away from the retro FF discussions as he's focused primarily on shitting on FF16 and FF7Rebirth. But any modern FF discussions? Probably not.
what the frick were they thinking
See
Ring magic uses MP to cast, warp magic uses MP to use, Ignis magic uses his own mp meter that must be fully charged to cast.
Elemancy is completely different from those and is crafting absorbed energy into flasks to use like Dragons Dogma by manually aiming then casting it, or instacast it like 7R or KH.
Meanwhile FF16 has no MP, no magic stat, no elemental weaknesses, no status effects, no difference between using magic or physical attacks and uses DMC guns reskinned as "magic" which is functionally worse than these """""""grenades""""""" you sperg over.
The 4 guys in black are more distinct than literally anyone in ff16, 13, 12, 14, 11 etc
I'm not reading all that you fricking schizo
Cope schizo
ff16 has no magic stat or elemental affinities and no real magic, just reskinned dmc guns
>Cope schizo
>ff16 out of nowhere
meds
>exactly 1 minute apart again
>xvi-kun malding again
XV magic is pretty based since its like DD with how you aim it
Meanwhile ff16 has no magic, just dmc gun projectile reskinned with no magic stat or elemental affinities
Why did they move away from having unique designs for all the characters in FF games? They're all just wearing black leather jackets
Someday brothers. Someday.
?t=1502
>falseflaggers copy-pasting "Barry" posts this late in the thread
holy fricking KEK
I present to you, the assmad abbo.
Seems like you're aasmad because ff16 flopped
What drives someone to this?
I'll admit there are FF entries I'm not a fan of but I just don't really play them and sometimes I'll post about the things I don't like about those games every so often when a civil FF thread pops up.
I would never spend this much time and effort doing...whatever this even is.
Ask yourself why "Barry" shows up whenever it is convenient for those talking about him lmao.
Oh wait, (You) are the same falseflagger.
FF XIV made the fanbase so autistic and cancerous that it defies common belief.
Tendies are schizos
Who the frick cares about what others play? Not our fault you spend hours stalking what some mmohomosexuals play like a schizo, just stop going to those threads for your own well being
I wonder what was the trigger that mind broke barry all these years ago. There must be some heavy trauma hidden behind these shitposts for him to do it daily dor 10 years. People out there stalking chrischan when this schizo is on the loose and obsessed with a single game for a decade
I can't even fathom shitposting about a single game for almost 10 years. I can't think of a single game I love enough to push me to that kind of behavior. I assume it's born from hatred instead of love? I have no idea.
Anon, he’s an abo mutt. It’s literally that simple. Not only is he brown but he’s the worst of the worst. Have you ever read up on abo culture? It’s horrific
>defending a dead studio instead of drawing OC DMons
Wtf is your problem Barry? I cant emulate early 2000s DeviantAet Sonic OC style. I need you to make me some DMons for inspiration.
Kingdom Hearts 2 has a higher metacritic score than Final Fantasy XV.
As expected from the true king. With the usurper gone, It's time for him to take his rightful place once more.
I think FF16, FF15, and Forespoken are all shit and Square Enix needs massive management changes to fix their AAA titles.
Their budget titles are their saving grace rn.
They really struggle from a hierarchy of boomers in leadership that have no clue what their customers want. They chase trends but it always feels like they're behind a couple years on whatever is the current "thing". It's like watching someone continuously shoot themselves in the foot over and over and act confused why their foot is gone.
Their budget titles need more love to actually be good and not just passable. Octopath Traveler needed to have actual good dungeons that made use of the OCTO part of the name like FF6's Pheonix Cave or something.
Barry is now schizoposting on japanese imageboards. I would instruct him not to do that, these japs would doxx his entire family if prompted.
Post the hand pic on 5ch to give them a lead
This thread is literally just a Barry-obssessed discord jerking each other off over Barry. There is literally no difference between him and all of you.
>le no difference
Shit doesn’t track Black person, if what you’re saying is true they would still be making these posts 10 fricking years later.
>no Ganker you are the chrischan
“No”
Can't forget about Episode Duscae, which has a better combat system than the final release of FFXV.

The "Barry" will be around for years to come.
I will always hate FFXV because it took FFXIII Versus away from me.
hi Barry
Yoshi-P is cool
Flopspoken sucks
FFXVI won
that is all
>thread slow
Looks like our barry went to sperg against the bear game now
Our boy cant keep up!
someone should make a reservation for a FF funeral
FF7 Rebirth will Save Final Fantasy once again
>reaching that far to dunk
who tf cares about a cafe?
What's next
>HAHAHA THE XVI BRANDED SOCKS ARE NOT SELLING WELL!
you don't understand the japanese culture homie. this is huge.
>thread features about 200 posts about Barry
>probably only 10 posts from Barry
He Won
so when's XVI coming to PC? Looks fun, but I don't want a PissFive
the Ebony build, gone but not forgotten
This might be one of the most pathetic threads I've ever seen
How much longer do I have to wait for the daily seethe threads for FFXVI are gone? I was promised they would move on to BG3
Given the butthurt around FF13, FF14, FF15, and FF7 Remake. The doomer FF16 threads aren't going away anytime soon.
until then next FFXIV expansion comes out where all the totally not organized shitposters will suddenly completely thin out
>mmogay thinks shitting on xvi will stop
so new.
oh don't worry bazzy i know you'll still be here
>thinks everyone is his boogeyman, just like barry does
so new.
*says the anon whining about barry
>ctrl+f barry
>102 results
Make it more diverse next time. Add a trans black woman protag and I'll buy and make fanart for FF17
Get a life. you’ve been obsessed with this game “flopping” for like 2 months and you don’t even own a PS5 to play it
>leave the multi-billion dollar company alone!
i love these posts that genuinely believe that time wasted shitposting on Ganker has affected anything
>get a life. You've been obsessed with this game "not flopping" for like 2 months and you don't even own a PS5 to play it.
was that supposed to be an own
what if i told you ffxvi was bad and you're still pathetic
>owned
>served
>sick diss bruh
oh no i broke it
>own!
>You will cease posting right now, I run this board!
No thanks. I want to keep laughing at snoy.
It's insane how Paulie, Jimbo, Barry, OneGuy, Vaynegay and the rest of these anons managed to become so infamous on Ganker and /ffg/.
As soon as I saw this post, I knew jimbo was talking about himself in the third person again.
Barry won.
Modern FF is shit
It's all SHIT
>"System seller"
>"It's the systems fault"
is this chainsaw man of Gankerideo games?
the original chainsaw manga remains influential.
xvi will be forgotten.
Themed cafes are a pretty big part of Japanese culture, aren't they? I imagine if your collaboration cafe isn't doing good, then neither is the game or series that the cafe is based on.
Nintendo's Wonderland kills it every day.

What was the last "good" FF? FF10 or FF12? It's been almost fifteen years it feels like.
