A single-player game will not shut down for not having sold enough and you hopefully have no financial incentive for Final Fantasy to sell more copies.
Everyone has some degree of reason to care if something is a financial success because it means you might get more of that if it does well, or might get less of it if it flops.
Also validation.
The Final Fantasy corporation isn't going to cancel Final Fantasy #106 because Final Fantasy #105 did poorly, especially when even the most underperforming Final Fantasy games outperform the other heinous flops Squeenix has been releasing over the past 20 years.
Its not about cancelling Final Fantasy, its about them making the type of Final Fantasy you want to see. If you dont like the direction they've been going with, voting with your wallet is a way to make them course correct.
No i don't I a fat fucking naggerhomosexual gaymer. I cum on my rgb mechanical keyboard and play vidya.
I do not care for those fucking sales.
I do not care for anything beside good gameplay.
In 20 years when people see the game for sale, they won't ask themselves >Did this game sell well?
They'll ask themselves >Was this game supposed to be good?
And they'll check reviews. They'll see it scored high, had good user reviews, and add another sale.

barry has been mentally assraped by yoshida's mere existence for years, he'll keep seething even after he's resigned from square whenever the inevitable next MMO fails because it's a dying genre
Because they've spend months of their life spamming threads and doomposting. Just like how they said FF7R is a flop. Meanwhile Rebirth is coming out soon and nier troons only get gacha collabs
I don't know but it's surreal watching Ganker get flooded with salesfags obsessed with sales numbers and gloating about "success" or "flop" circulating around them like it ever impacts the quality of something, or is some kind of measure of it.
It impacts whether the game gets sequels or spinoffs, how retarded are you not to understand this. Also impacts the future direction of the series in the case of FF
>A burger gets released at McDonalds that you like >That was good, I'd like another at some point >Burger removed from menu due to low sales, but corporate doesn't release this information >Where is burger? Oh well
>Game sells very well
"Oh cool, I should expect some new dlc! Sweet! I better buy this too!" >Game sells alright
"Cool, maybe it gets some bugfixes and such" >Game doesn't sell at all
"Fuck, not a good idea to buy this, devs are gonna pretend this didn't happen"
on /v ? for shitposting, overall matter if X game sold a lot it would get a sequel, this is good if the game itself was good, otherwise is a fucking nightmare if some garbage game sales are high
To know if the series has a future or not and whether it's even worth the time playing what may be the last entry in the franchise? Just watching gameplay isn't enough to determine the full fun to time investment ratio. Pretty simple to understand if you let your neurons do their thing naturally.
BECAUSE YOURE ON A FUCKING VIDEO GAME BOARD WITH FUCKING NERFS THATS WHY
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH ZOOMERS TRYING TO ACT HOLIER THAN THOU ON HERE? GO BE A FUCKING NORMALFAG/MORALFAG SOMEWHERE ELSE. BACK IN MY DAY YOU WENT TO /b/ TO SEE MOTHERFUCKERS GET THEIR SKULLS BASHED IN, FLEX YOUR SHIT TALKING IN Ganker THEN HEAD OVER TO POL TO ACT AS RACIST AS POSSIBLE. GET THE FUCK OFF MY SITE YOU FILTHY FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT NORMALFAG GO GET AN STD OR DUDE WEED FROM STACY OR LAWKUIESHA OR SOME SHIT AND FUCK OFF
Takashi Mochizuki really, really has a bone to pick with Square-Enix.
For a professional journalist, the guy seems hellbent on painting FF16 as a commercial flop, from downplaying the game sales in Japan even though it was the biggest ps5 game there, to blaming the stockdrop earlier on the game when it was due to the mobile division having a bad year, to straight up lying about square saying they were not satisfied with the game sales. Funny how Ganker latches to this guy when he literally spouts fake news.
And in the report from SE they said they "intend to" try and make profit in Q2
synonym for "intend to" is "hope to"
so hope was correct
also it didn't even make any profit in Q2 which is why SE is so silent about ff16 now
Regardless of actual reason, the current narrative is that 16 underperforming killed SE's stocks. SE has every incentive to announce updated sales for XVI to try and restore some degree of investor confidence, but their failure to do so does imply it hasn't even hit the 4 million shipped milestone yet.
>Takashi Mochizuki really, really has a bone to pick with Square-Enix.
It's called critical thinking, but it could be too hard of a concept for NPCs like you who eat up rosy picture reports from S-E and don't delve deeper. >downplaying the game sales in Japan even though it was the biggest ps5 game there
PS5 heavily declined in Japan compared to PS4 and PS3 which carried over to FF16 selling worse than FF13-2. FF16's first week is 43.75% lower, it only beats LR, the worst selling non-spinoff Final Fantasy game in Japan. >painting FF16 as a commercial flop
It was an absolute flop with
~350k sales in Japan and no more than 1 million sales overseas where it quickly fell out of rankings and currently doesn't sell at all.
Popular franchises tend to get more releases. FF has 16 mainline titles. They are numbered chronologically by release date. I know, numbers can be confusing on an American education.
the GoT shit is really mostly the prologue. besides two scenes of implied sex and trying to be like 12/Tactics by showing bad guys in their politic rooms, the rest of the game is honestly pretty much a forward revenge and then generic fantasy adventure with just more blood on top.
It is à pièce of shit bought it 2 hand 30 bucks played it for 6 hours looks like shit the frame rate is just horrible ...the gameplay m'y god..wtf ..side qu'est from 2000s world looks like à cheap chinese gatcha game..
Gonna try to sell it tomorow or trade it for anything really disapointing trash..
Luminous staff literally worked on FF16
yoshitpiss will never be on FF17 or FF18
tabata already said before 15 released he doesn't wanna do FF for his next games so he doesn't care
Luminous staff also worked on ff7r
they are in cbu2 now and are the only aaa dev team free to work on ff17 since yoshiP already confirmed cbu3 is not doing ff17
Is it really that hard to permaban bazztek from this board? Is he using botnet vpns or something? I remember his posts being mass deleted on several occasions.
>[Game] Square Enix, Naoki Yoshida "FF16 is planned to be sold over 18 months" 4 months after release, the downloadable version is also out of the ranking [683847785]
>they'll slurp up any goyslop SE shits out
that's not true, that's why square almost goes bankrupt every year because no one buys their games so they have to survive by siphoning japanese tax money. They're the Uwe Bol of game studios
You're a smarter man than I am. I kept buying, but 16 finally broke my confidence in the series. I bought into the "Yoshida can do no wrong" hype the cult kept spewing, and he delivered absolute slop.
Should have made it 4 niggas in a row and added a e-boi party member
uoooh
This.
Holy fuck my dick AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SAUCE PLEASE
HOLY BASED
Can I have a big tiddy hag too?
Why would anyone besides share holders and employees care about how much a game sold?
retard do you know how the economy works?

>In 20 years when physical is completely dead, Square will never bother to port this flop forward
fixed it for you
They still sell cassettes. Physical gaming isn't dying.
>They still sell cassettes
Yeah, ten whole copies a year.
They're still sold, dipshit. Take the L.
Yeah, i'm sure metallica in 2023 lives and dies by their casette sales. Don't be a fucking mongoloid, bro
Yeah, i'm sure Square Enix in 2043 lives and dies by their PS5 sales. Don't be a fucking mongoloid, bro
You mean the sales of their latest flagship videogame they spend millions on producing? Yeah, i'm sure it's nothing.
>Take the L.
kys zoomer
Unironically should make game cases this way especially for tiny Switch cartridges. Fuck whatever we have now.
Where would codes for free downloads go? How would you reverse the cover? The bigger box also looks better on a shelf. I think you're wrong.
Never ever?

Because they've spend months of their life spamming threads and doomposting. Just like how they said FF7R is a flop. Meanwhile Rebirth is coming out soon and nier troons only get gacha collabs
Because Final fantasy and it's fans are a fascinating phenomenon

buy it

nope

Think, nigga, THINK!
My enjoyment of a game is directly tied to what Ganker thinks of it

so hope was correct
also it didn't even make any profit in Q2 which is why SE is so silent about ff16 now
reports on FF16 are the most schizophrenic self-contradicting shit possible, square certainly does it on purpose for ulterior motives
This guy literally got called out by Nintendo too for his bullshit reporting.
>Nintendo didn’t provide any information about the profit margins of either Switch console.
I guess you just have to take their word for it then.

Imagine defending a guy that got fired from WSJ for his bad reporting and then shacking up at Bloomberg.
So let me get this straight, sellout game journos are bad, because they're sellouts, but this guy is bad because he isn't?
Because he is notorious for incorrect reporting. He's been shat on by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft for reporting stuff that is blatantly wrong.
Like what. I'm yet to see something that can't be explained by corporate damage control.
>the megacorp's PR department is right... because it just is!
>It's called critical thinking
if thats critical thinking according to you tranny the Common Sense Sceptic is a objective Elon Musk observer
There are so many buttmad snoys eager to start a blood feud under his tweets, lol.
Go woke go broke

Appear weak when you are strong - Sun Tzu
7Remake is the only decent mainline FFs after 12.
I like knowing about sales figures so I know which investment firms to tell my fiduciary to ignore.
I don't get it I thought everyone owned a ps5 though?!
>Once again, latest FF can't outsell Dragon Quest.
I welcome the return of that timeline.
its over yoshit piss cultists
The asspain will never end Yoshichads
Square Enix will be bought by Sony or Microsoft in the next 6 years
>ff16 is less relevant months after release than forspoken is months after release
OH NO NO NO
>He's still btfo over 7r and 16 both losing
Why does this game have like 998235982 entries? Seeing people talk about these games is like people talking in code or some shit.
Popular franchises tend to get more releases. FF has 16 mainline titles. They are numbered chronologically by release date. I know, numbers can be confusing on an American education.
The fuck you need 16 games for? Lmao,
They aren't sequels of each other, each game is its own story/world./characters/mechanics.
>caters to GoT homosexuals
>game fails
Don't kill your major characters or make misery porn. Ppl are sick of edgy shit like that.
the GoT shit is really mostly the prologue. besides two scenes of implied sex and trying to be like 12/Tactics by showing bad guys in their politic rooms, the rest of the game is honestly pretty much a forward revenge and then generic fantasy adventure with just more blood on top.
Why are they so out of touch?

And who do you think FF16 is developed by
A multi-million dollar company can't admit that their latest experiment was horseshit so that they can step on the same rake in FF17.
The funny part? You tendies will keep regurgitating the same thing while ignoring all the other worthless non-FF bombs they released.
The best part? Tabata nor Luminous will be involved with FFXVI.
SR2 remake and Mario RPG remake will be squares most successful games this year in a year of AAA flops
TOTK outsold final turd 16 by factor of 3.
*6
Luminous staff literally worked on FF16
yoshitpiss will never be on FF17 or FF18
tabata already said before 15 released he doesn't wanna do FF for his next games so he doesn't care

no wonder it was so shit
now these idiots are going to do 17?? fuck me just fire the dead weight already
Is it really that hard to permaban bazztek from this board? Is he using botnet vpns or something? I remember his posts being mass deleted on several occasions.

I'm sure Mario RPG Remake already outsold FF16 by this point while the game is not even release yet.
>[Game] Square Enix, Naoki Yoshida "FF16 is planned to be sold over 18 months" 4 months after release, the downloadable version is also out of the ranking [683847785]
Why is this guy so obsessed with ff16
because ff16 sold poorly and tanked SEs stock
notice he never said shit about forspoken flopping because it barely did shit to SEs stock
This guy just have some personal vendetta with that producer for some reason
barry lost
1/3 of the entire time bazztek has been alive on this planet, has been spent doing this
Slop Enix
Wow post-Squaresoft Final Fantasy game is bad and has no staying power? Chortle on my dick, because I'm surprised.
They are already up to 16? Holy shit. I stopped paying these naggers money after FF13.
weebs unironically thought 13-3 was good
they'll slurp up any goyslop SE shits out, it's really fucking embarrassing
>they'll slurp up any goyslop SE shits out

Glad it flopped
Hi Barry
Mad that FF16 won twice at the Golden Joysticks?
and that your precious Forspoken got ZERO nominations?
>sounds nice
Okay, but how does it play?
XVI has got the best soundtrack of any video game or piece of media ever. It's unbelievable how good it is. Literally moves me to tears every time.
>extremely generic epic orchestra with chanting slop
>best soundtrack ever
Fuck off. There's not a single memorable track in the entire game.
