when your franchise start reaching double digits in series, i think it’s about time to come up with something new.

Boom! Goes the FF series,

Also has Denuvo on Steam.

Hard pass.

It’s not an awful game, but it clearly shows SE doesn’t know how to do action combat. The story is probably the best in a single player game since 10, but that’s not a high bar considering 12 is unfinished, 13 is too pretentious, and 15 is the least interesting road trip I ever forced myself to go on.

I’m just not going to buy a game plus DLC at full RRP after having it glued to a glorified paperweight for over a year. Once it gets a decent sale, then I’ll consider it. Why should I be expected to pay full price after having Square dangle it on the PS5 stick for a year? I dropped Sony like a burning coal the nanosecond they announced Plus would be mandatory for online play and made the jump to PC. Zero regrets, tons of money saved throughout the years since.

Squeenix is such an interesting company to watch. They successfully recovered from a bad reputation in the 2010s by relaunching FF XIV, only to completely ruin the story of that game a decade later at the exact time they are hemorrhaging money from multiple other problems. I’m sure they will make some adjustments but will they learn the right lessons or just repeat the same mistakes? Either way I’ll be sitting here with my popcorn enjoying the show.

Basically, in the 90’s you had peak squaresoft. People would leave the company for other jobs. The merge with Enix and kingdom hearts fame. We get into the 2010’s and they become asian EA. Their games become overpriced and consume other studios. No talent is left and woke takes over before the FF7 remake. Timed exclusives and disaster.

Right!! This is a Devil May Cry game not a Final Fantasy game; that is why I had forgotten about it.
Just checked; It also has Denuvo, so, get f*cked Square!

I’m honestly hoping news like this will prevent Kadokawa from accepting any attempts from Sony to buy them.

Ff16 is shit, that’s it

fwiw 16 was the least ff of all the ff games. devil may cry was a better action game and every other ff was a better rpg.

People are waiting for a sale and the modders todo their thing 😆

Seems like kingdom hearts holds more weight than final fantasy.

Skyrim is mid

Shame honestly, game is actually pretty decent

They made me wait a year for it to be on PC. I can wait another 6 months for it to be on sale.

Like people are dumb enough to buy DEI slob.

The biggest selling point of an RPG is the story. FF16’s story has been out there for a year. Everyone who gave a shit either watched it or got it on Playstation. They made their bed, they can lay in it.

I didn’t even know it existed. But then, I wasn’t even that hyped for the VII remake, got it free on PSPlus and lost interest.

The problem with 16 is that it’s made by 14 devs for 14 fans. If you’re not a die-hard 14 player who constantly kisses Yoshi.P’s ass 24/7 then you won’t like it.

TBH I was somewhat excited for FF16 given it was being handled by CBU3 the ff14 crew in otherwords.

BUT, SBI, Timed release, AND Squenix has a horrible track record for PC releases being buggy, as such I have yet to pick it up.

Another thing is that they released an unoptimized technical trash that doesn’t run optimally on cards with 8gb vram. ridiculous.

The game is shit, lets be honest, and that is why it has poor sales. It is crap for people physically and mentally challenged with 0 attention span.

I wanted to buy the game because Yoshi was working on it and I love FF14. But the whole sweet baby debacle makes me stop buying FF stuff. Especially after all the FF7 things like Tifa, censorship, ethics depatments etc.

The best modern Final Fantasy in terms of reputation is obviously Final Fantasy 14 A Realm Reborn (and so on).
Square saw the success of FF14 and said to themself “What if we don’t do what this game did? What if we go in the opposite direction?”
Now they feel the consequences.
Also, the Stellar Blade situation is gonna be different because the MC is a hot woman. Mod support alone is gonna sell this game once it comes to Steam.
Also, personally speaking, I’m never gonna buy a PS5. And I think nowadays there are many people who think that way.

When a timed exclusive comes to PC, I think: I already waited an entire year for it, and I can wait another year for a 50% discount.

It was okay.
I enjoyed it more than Dawntrail.

if it wasn’t bad enough that the game is a single player MMO any mention of Game of Thrones as an inspiration will surelly kill any hype that may have been left in the jaded FF fanboy heart

I’m waiting for a discount lol. Fuck buying games at full price. Ain’t no way

@8:30 I think Stellar Blade will sell because of the fanservice. It’s basically more NieR: Automata and I myself am actually interested in it because it just looks like a well done game, unlike 16.

@7:50 They seem to think adding Chocobos, Ifrit, etc makes it “Final Fantasy” but in reality it’s just a generic fantasy game with the Final Fantasy logo and some mascot characters thrown in, just like 15 was, and heck even 13. We’ve not had a GOOD FF game since like… 10 and even that’s debatable. I’d say that FF9 is the last solid FF game we had (excluding XIV which a lot of people refuse to play because it’s a sub MMO but it’s very much a Final Fantasy game in every other way, heck it references pretty much ALL of the FF games).

I’m not buying it for two reasons. One is I prefer jrpgs over arpgs, because of a damage to my wright wrist, which makes it hurt if I play games with lots of buttonpressing. Even some of the bosses on FF7 Remake and FF15 are bad enough, but FF7 got accessibility options that helps and I can use my left hand for striking on FF15, so they’re usually not too bad except for bosses that takes lot of damage like Hell House in FF7. The other thing is optimalization. Although I can get good enough FPS on my Nitro 7 by reducing the quality, it still too demanding when it comes to cutscenes.

I just see a steady decline in their offerings as far as FF goes. Remakes are all they have left!!

And sadly, the Suits and Ties at SE are going to take *ENTIRE THE WRONG MESSAGE* from this. They’re going to go “oh, PC players don’t wanna play our games” and they’ll stop going to the PC market entirely. Even though we know the reason as “Timed Exclusives suck and everybody hates them.” that and you know, $50. I might be interested in trying 16 out, but… not for $50. I don’t pay $50 for games. I bet if they did a 50% off at Christmas they’d sell a million units.

I’ve only played the first final fantasy on the NES and couldn’t get into it. Other than that I’m planning of avoiding AAA titles that are 2017-18 or younger so I’ll be playing games that are still very much fun that came from the PS2/Xbox, PS3/Xbox 360 and up to mid PS4/Xbox One era because games nowadays are just propaganda being portrayed as a game. Also, Indie Games I’m addicted to 7 Days to Die at the moment.

“Wait, its out on PC?” – most people
I wasn’t aware that its coming on PC until i saw a steam pop up saying “friend is playing FF16” and i was like “what? when?”

If i have to wait a year or longer then i can wait even longer for the game to go on sale.

FF16 is the only FF that actually made me fall asleep playing it.
boring doesn’t describe it

I’ve seen my ff14 guildmates stream it.
I will say, it is some damn fine eye candy, I will give it that much… but that’s like all it is. It’s honestly more accurate to call it a movie then a game.

That’s not mentioning it didn’t feel like Final Fantasy whatsoever, and certainly not an RPG.

Most new games suck. Yea, if a game also lose hype, its as good as dead.

Game is old. I will only buy it on a a sale.

Saw already a life stream on Youtube.

I actually really wanted to buy it but ultimately, it was way too expensive to justify the purchase. For 70 bucks I can buy 5-8 EXTREMELY solid indies with the same or higher play time each.

Plus I’m much more into the more oldschool JRPG formula which Squeenix has only been doing as unnamed FF spinoffs in the past 15 years and not at all recently. I’d much rather get another Bravely Default or Octopath Traveler than these boring button mash action games masquerading as Final Fantasy.

If I was to purchase a AAA Japanese game right now it’d be Methphor: ReFantazio, not this.

Consudering ive been a FF fan since 88′ and i didnt know it care FF 12 or higher came out should tell you all you need to know. I got to the ginal boss fight in 12, zero grind, set macros, and watched……… 12 was the DEATH of FF to me, 13 was weaker than 10 and its bee. Rolling downhill since 12 and the remake of FF7, MY FF SEVEN pt1 just staked the franchise like Blade staking Frost with that last hit of EDTA!

Havent cared about FF since 13. Which is where the action combat system started imo

To be fair I will be buying Stellar Blade on PC if they keep the NieR automata thing in by the time it comes.

Greetings fellow Morrowind fan. Good video. Nwas now know their place😂😂😂

I played it day one on steam deck, and I only got back to playing it now after Metaphor. God. It just wasn’t playable, and Shiva is still ugly. Which is weird because Jill is beautiful.

I said this in 2018. Timed exclusives just makes me watch letsplay and then i forget about game. Red dwad redemption2 was great example. I liked it , but it was a year exclusive for consoles. So i never bothered a year later wjen i knew the story and there wasnt mich more to intwrest me.

FF 16 was garbage. It only sold what it did from day 1 purchasers like myself. I keep remembering my childhood love of the company, but I forget I’m not their target audience anymore.

This is what exclusivity means nowadays. Nobody is missing out on your game if they don’t have the console it comes out on. You have to be there to compete day 1 or whoever else is competing day 1 has an entire market to itself.

so the price should drop soon hopfully

Ffxvi es a bad game. I wasn’t able to finish it because of its bad story, character development, dialogues, etc… those aspects are the most important for me on videogames.

Thankfully I managed to change my game for Ratchet & Clanck Rift Appart, whic resultef to be a much better game.

I was interested in FF16 *when it first came out*… but I don’t have a PS console. Then I forgot it existed.. and then just never bought it and probably never will.. but after the horrible burn that was KPop Boy Band Road Trip simulator that the main story line doesn’t take place in the game itself.. I kind of lost interest in the future of FF. They made it clear that they forgot who their original audience was.

What if they lied about selling 3 million copies on PS5 to begin with?

I’ll be buying it on PC for Christmas, but, Square needs to screw off with the exclusivity, it only really hurts the product in the long run.

“Look at Skyrim” he says, as I listen to him while playing Skyrim.

Sony is sabotaging IPs by forcing Exclusivity. Sony needs to be bought and it’s leadership guttedz

I had 100% no idea it even came out. And I’ve been typing “FF7 Rebirth” into the search bar for a while and getting disappointed. You’d think I’d have noticed.

I tried the demo and didn’t like the weird giant transformer stuff. I’ll still try it, but only when it’s heavily discounted.

publish that shit next to the monkey king was unwise, then when I want to play it and poe2 EA come out in 2 weeks… sigh, I will wait for it on sale.

Final Fantasy X was the last good final fantasy. I rather play FF4,5,6 than any of the modern ones. All this modern fantasy stuff is meh as fuck, and the button mashing also doesnt help at all. They are certainly not why i liked final fantasy games.

Final Fantasy 4 has a better story than any modern final fantasy, change my mind.

Get rekt’d Squarewoke. 😂

Final Fantasy kind of fell off to me after the PS2 generation. They don’t have that charm.

FFX was the last great Final fantasy, FF11 was MMO garbage, FF12 a walking simulator, and FF13 literally tried to sell itself by saying “if you like the old FF games, this isn’t for you” the only reason FF14 is doing ok is because WoW is even worse garbage these days. After 20+ years of failure I’m surprised FF16 managed 3 million copies sold.

Final Fantasy 10 was the last great FF game for me! The rest are trash!

The PC version came out very close after Black Myth Wukong and probably more other big names

It probably would have helped if they advertised the PC port…
I didn’t even know about it until it was already released

I played Final Fantasy years ago, I mean on the PS1. For some reason (I don’t know why) I lost interest after 7.

it’s a shame… cause I do like FF16…I watched a friend play it and I honestly want to play and enjoy the game….but unfortunately my PC needs an upgrade and I’m pretty sure Squeenix will Denuvo it on top of other modern industry BS.

If I ever do decide to get it, it’s while I’m sailing the seas, because SE is (and has been) perma-blacklisted for me.

100% 15 and 16 are trash action smash the X. so I skipped both.

This is like trying to have a movie exclusively on Netflix for a year, then giving it an official cinema release and wondering why no-one went to see it.

FF17 better be a return to form. Turn-based games are still around. Dungeons. World Map. Optional mega-bosses. Loot that actually affects your damage.

Here are the system requirements for 1080p60 off steam for FF16:

Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10 / 11 64-bit
Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700X / Intel® Core™ i7-10700
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD Radeon™ RX 6700 XT / NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2080
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 170 GB available space
Additional Notes: 60FPS at 1080p expected. SSD required. VRAM 8GB or above.

This means the PC I built in 2020 can’t even play this game at 1080p60 (5600x, 7900xt (added later), and 32 GB RAM)

Either the PS5 is some pretty good hardware and they optimized the hell out of it and/or that is a terribly port. It was my understanding that the x86-based consoles are several generations behind PC hardware. The PS5 was released in 2020.

It looks like PS5 doesn’t use DX, OpenGL, or Vulcan but a Sony-exclusive gfx API library. That probably explains the crap port optimization as they probably threw poorly designed translation layers at the problem. If that is the case then that is unfortunate as I grew up on FF games.

Given the dearth of compelling PS5 games that weren’t also on the PC I never really wanted to buy the console.

No, Stellar Blade was funded by Sony as their publisher so Shift Up had no choice but to bend over for Sony. However, now that they have more money, they won’t need Sony anymore…hopefully…

The hype died. Easiest explanation.

I never ended up buying the first FF7 remake because when it finally released on steam I had already seen everything about it and wasn’t excited. I didn’t get the first one so why would I get the others? Well, maybe when they go on sale.

I got ff16 at a discount, and I feel ripped off. Boring as hell.

SE could print money today if they started releasing DLC outfits for Tifa and the gang. This would also show that they are changing their ways, but they won’t and they will go down in flames.

Shift Up should have release on PC (as their original plan was too) and I don’t know how it will do, but I for one will be picking it up. I don’t have a Sh*tStation 5 and will not be buying one ever and I haven’t spoiled the game because I want to experience it first hand.

“Final Fantasy”… Haven’t heard these words in years. Well, time to start ePSXe and play Final Fantasy 9 again ❤

If I had known about the gay Bahamut, I would have not bought the game either

The game just wasnt very good. All show and no substance.

region locked on steam too

Didnt help that the games mid af. Great movie, awful game

They made a game that they repeatedly said was inspired by Game of Thrones. Not the books, the TV show. And they started development on it AFTER Season 8. The season that made everyone hate Game of Thrones. This would be like if Bioware came out and said Mass Effect 4 is going to be inspired by Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Then wondering why no one bought it.

Probably doesn’t help that you need a nuclear power plant of a PC to run it properly…

FFXVI is on PC? Well ever since the FF7 Remake and what they did to Dragon Quest Remasters, I lost interest in Square-Enix games. I also got very tire of the time exclusive, so I lost interest.

FFXV was just… underwhelming, so I didn’t have any hope for XVI. I’m just waiting for it to go on sale on Steam at this point.

Im so ready for ff7 aftirbirth v2.0 to flop and end the travesty the member berries have wrough with the collapse of squeenix.

It’s barely an RPG at all. You have two stats. There are no elements. It’s a bad Devil May Cry / Bayonetta game with a much worse moveset and less content drug out over 100 hours.

Don’t forget Final Fantasy cutting away all the good stuff like beautiful sexy women’s and use woke joke trash in the game.

“Spirits Within” bankrupted the company, and showed that the people in charge of Squarenix were more interested in making movies than games. They collab’d with Disney to produce Kingdom Hearts which should have warned people where the company was going. And since the merger with Enix, the company culture has shifted well over to the Square side of things, taking game series like Dragon Quest down with them.

Had it been released on PC at the same time, I’d have bought it day 1. As it is, I’m still waiting on steep sale for it, because I’m not buying a game over a year old at full price. Also Square saying they had high expectations? Don’t make me laugh. they had unrealistic expectations, and were ready to use FF14’s constant profit to cover their losses that they get from their repeated bone-headed decisions.

I’ve noticed video game protagonists have no personal ambitions or goals of their own. FF16’s Clive is a brainless clod who does nothing but follow other people’s orders. He’s pretty to look at and otherwise inoffensive.

8:32 I didn’t waste my money on a launch version of PS5, and given the extremely poor showing game-wise that Sony has been giving I don’t think I am going to buy ANY version of that console. I’ll just wait for the pc version of any game that I am interested in, like Stellar Blade, and if it isn’t coming to pc, oh well.

In my opinion XVI is a better to watch than play game. I think the story is pretty strong and the Kaiju fights are pretty epic, but the time inbetween those segments are ungodly dull and repetitive. The dullness to awesomeness ratio is like 5 to 1 and the game is about 40 hours long. It just gets really boring and I had to just drop it and watch the cutscenes and Kaiju fights on Youtube.

Asura’s Wrath did what XVI was trying to do significantly better and it’s a real shame it did so poorly back in the day, 180k units, and people completely forgot about it. I also don’t want to hear Square complain about how awful their games have performed when they only sold a measly 3 million units. There’s a lot of better games than theirs that are lucky to see a couple 100k units sold. If their games are losing money even with those numbers of sales they need to rethink how much they’re spending on making their games.

Heck they probably should steal more ideas from Asura’s Wrath’s developer CyberConnect2 while they’re at it and make XVII a $2-3 million budget indie level visual novel game instead. I’m actually more compelled to play CC2’s current Fuga Melodies of Steel series than I am FF7R because they know how to do trilogies properly and Square doesn’t. I’m kind of wondering how FF7R would have turned out they kept CC2 on it… Oh well I’m glad they weren’t stuck working on that nightmare of a remake for 15 years anyway. BTW who wants to bet FF7R3’s subtitle will be Redemption, they might as well steal another .hack subtitle.

I’m not exactly gonna line up to pay full price for a game that came out over a year ago. When the PC version is usually not as well optimized. Especially with NO DLC included. The ‘full” game cost about 80$ where i live. That’s a whole month of grocery for what, Japanese Games of Throne?

It’s crazy how accurate RGE is when he said: “FF fans looking at this will not feel it’s a final fantasy”, because that’s exactly what i felt watching the first trailer. And that’s coming from someone who bought 4 generations of PlayStations to play 4 final fantasy games (8, 10, 13, 15), the rest i played on handheld or emus. I ditched Sony with the PS5 gen and ff16 isn’t enough to make me go back.

hopefully this kills timed exclusives.

i was saddened to learn FF7 and 16 were delayed, hype is gone and why should i care,

I was one of those rare few that gave it a fair shake, I didn’t watch playthroughs and avoided spoilers like the plague. The hook of the game was it was a dark fantasy with DMC lite mechanics. At first I could see what they were going for, what with all the naked scenes and wanton killing. But sadly the main villain is boring AF and the combat is fun but very shallow for having DMC’s combat director.

Nobody talking about Stellar Blade? You clearly don’t get out much.

emulators of early FF games. The 7 remake was last of it from ps4 to pc. waiting for completed game.

I dont think the timed exclusive did anything apart from leting people see how bad the game is. Good games sell well no matter how long the exclusive is.

I’d bet most people commenting haven’t played the game honestly it’s a great game great music fun gameplay and fuckin dark story

Ff16 was actually amazing and sad as fuck not sure why everyone’s tripping lmao

When you see an old game with no hype on steam, you wishlist and wait for a sale.

I agree with what you said byt also aint no bidy got time or money for that. Plus marketing for PC release sucked. I had no idea that it was or did come out.

Wait, there’s an FF16? this is the first I’ve heard of it.

Fun game, but it was far too different from mainline Final Fantasy to get people into it.

Yakuza had an April 1st joke trailer years ago depicting its game as a turn-based JRPG instead of another beat-em-up, but the reception was so positive that they changed the game and story in a way which made a LOT of people happy while getting them to check the other installments.

The main difference is that Square Enix didn’t even try to make anything that could even accidentally get people fully on board with such a change other than curious fans of the other entries.

As divisive as Yakuza 7 may have been for some of its more hardcore fans, the studio still tried to appeal the old fans by doing some spin-off games with the old gameplay further polished.

With final fantasy 15 I tried to play it but I couldn’t get into the combat system and with PlayStations BS I’m kind of done with the final fantasy series

FF10 was the last Final fantasy for me. FF11 – mmorpg, ff12 – single player mmorpg, ff13 – corridor simulator, ff14 – mmorpg, FF15 – arpg, FF16 – arpg.

Series hasn’t been relevant in like 20 years to me.

Square Enix always has high expectation.
🤣🤣🤣
LOL at foreskin
Now SE is just high

I was assured PCsisters would save the day. lol

It always sucks when a studio takes an IP and completely changes it from what people were drawn to it for. I’m glad Resident Evil got back on track. Six was not the survival horror people were drawn to the franchise for. The same happened with Battlefield trying to be CoD. It didn’t bring in CoD fans it just made Battlefield fans leave. If you want to test the waters, create a new IP or a spin-off from the main line.

A DEI hire must of choosen this game altering of Final Fantasy. Pretty sure…a sane person would keep up the JRPG branding.

Final Fantasy hasn’t been Final Fantasy since Squaresoft became Squenix.

Waiting on for it on PC but ended up getting it on PS5 after a sale. I mean it took a WHOLE DAMN YEAR to release on PC. What were they expecting

You only do exclusives on small developers. Even then, you don’t do exclusives. You have more risk being hounded by the media to censor the game. Look at Stellar Blade, they had to change Eve’s outfit. The media had got early copies and wanted to censor the game.

exclusives only makes it easier for me to ignore the game later on. the more time goes on the less i want to play it since i will not get it on a console. and then there’s the issue if i want to play it or not. only exception to the exclusive rule is nintendo since those games are best played on a nintendo console.

Ff xvi had no waifus… at least not in the ads…

Damn, I’m just got back into Skyrim too. Those games are just so much fun.

All I heard about FF16 was that the demo was amazing, then people loved the release until apparently it shits the bed at a certain point, then crickets.

I could have given it a chance
But the ending was so awful that it completely turned me off from the game

Not surprising, Square Enix has been treating PC gamers like second class citizens with either bad ports or long delays, not to mention the quality of the games themselves, especially a franchise like FF where they have no clue what to do with it anymore.

FF16 came out on PC?? Where were advertisements? Did they ever put ads here on Youtube or what? LOL

Final fantasy x-2 actually starrted improving the Action form of battle, Final fantasy XII Trilogy perfected it. I don’t rememebr which Final fantasy Started it in the series though.

I was one of the former FF fans you mentioned RGE
You hit the nail on the head that not only is the turn based gone, but it just ain’t the same franchise anymore

I tolerated Kingdom Hearts gameplay because they debuted that style from the beginning. Final Fantasy mainlining this new style wasn’t it

Eh, probably would have been better if they didn’t go CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE for so long. Being widely available would have made more sales from the start but Square Enix chose the boneheaded decision of isolating itself.

Since they still have their ethics department, it’s not going to change going multi-plat since it will still be dei infested mess.

12-15 (MMO excluded) sucked. Why would 16 be any better?

FF16 tried to be Devil May Cry, and not very well. Also I’d argue ShiftUp should have stuck to the original plan for Stellar Blade and do a multiplatform release. It’s not like the game was being made on Sony software anyway, because it wasn’t (Unreal Engine 5 says hi). Like i’ll give them credit for making a game that goes back to the old 2000s sensibilities but it could’ve and should’ve been handled better from the onset.

FF16 Jill wasn’t even in a sexy dress. It’s a joke woke game.

Squeenix gets what they F’ing Deserve!

X-2 really was the start of the end.

12 really started the downfall.

Sorry Sony, but I’m not buying a ps5 for this garbage.

Honestly, since FF13 I kind of have no more interest in Final Fantasy.

10 was the last real final fantasy. Prove me wrong.

Final Fantasy 16 is the DEI/ESG Trash. Dragon Quest 3 HD is going to FLOP as well.

It would be disingenuous to say it’s _entirely_ due to PS5 exclusivity. Now that people have actually SEEN the game they know it’s not that different from 15 and 13 and those were some _bad_ games. Rhythm combat where you control one character (meaning you control 25% of the fight and the game mostly plays itself), EXTREMELY linear progression through the story, nowhere near the mechanical depth of older FF games. And the story’s pretty bland, Yoshi-P can’t ride off the praise of FF14’s better years forever.

If they re-released Tactics: War of the Lions on Steam it’d blow this shart outta the toilet.

this final fantasy is in name only this is not a final fantasy game

But once again, Sephiroth intervened!

These salesmen need to earn money somehow, and so they think up ideas like this. But I’m not doing that anymore, a game pulls some shifty shit? I ain’t touching it with a 10 foot pole. Put a game dev in charge, an actual game dev, that likes games.

I keep forgetting the game exists. With little to no fanfare about the game I’d assume no one cared and it was a quiet failure.

If the game was good it would of still sold on PC. Yoshi P is a hack that had to copy wow to make ff14 workable. Guy has no vision, no talent no ability to make anything original and interesting. So FF16 just copied some stuff from DMC with journalist super easy mode. It was never going to be good so it barely existing on pc is not surprising.

I would’ve been a first day customer to support YP who made ff14 the amazing game it is, but i wasn’t allowed

Now i keep forgetting 16 is even a thing

Honestly I don’t recall hearing of it’s PC release, I thought it was still locked up in Sony jail.

Also, let’s be real. This series was in freefall ever since the original 7 when they let Nomura be more involved with the series and even herald it. Sure some gems like 9 and 12 have come out since then, but as a whole, the series has suffered the most prolonged downfall I’ve ever seen in gaming.

You have screw up badly and be in the red when have the Dragon Quest IP. I honestly think this is a long time coming when you over produce games like FF13 and continue to do that.

If Stellar Blade launches with additional DLC and possibly some gameplay tweaks and updates, like a special edition version but as the baseline that you buy on Steam, it will do just fine

I have FFXV on my steam account and I have yet to play it. FFXVI was not eve na blip on my radar.

id pay money to play skyrim on my phone

8:00 Oh, and Stellar Blade is going to sell like hot cakes on PC, I’m personally waiting for it to come out while I couldn’t care less about FF16 releasing on PC, you said yourself early in the video, if you make a really good game people will buy it even if has been a timed exclusive for years.

What annoys me is that square enix hasnt put all their games on GOG. The last game i have bought at 60 Dollars on steam was stalker 2 heart of chornobyl, ordered it before valve changed the TOS stating that youre only buying a license to the game.

sad thing is, it was multiple issues, the timed exclusive, sweet baby death kiss, they tried to make an action rpg with little to no experience making one in a franchise that is turn based. add to that they kept trying to get the western modern audience that didn’t exist. they should stick to jrpgs and stop trying to fellate western audiances who already loved their old stuff.

I might get it when it’s 10$, for the current price they could keep it, i’m not bothered.
You want my 10$ Square? You know how to get them. For 55$, i’m not even considering your game

Vote with your wallet and playtime you have all the power.

Final Fantasy: a dead franchise walking

I mean let’s be honest. It wasn’t just the timing but the reputation they got after working with Sweet Baby. Deserved. 😂

Meh, Final Fantasy aint what it used to be. Stellar Blade is where my money is going. The PC version will be a day one get. Shift Up shot themselves in the foot not releasing multi platform as originally intended.

yeah, theres no way people patient enough to wait a year for it to come to PC aren’t also patient enough to wait for a sale, even if they were still interested in the first place. I’ll probably pick it up in 5 years for 90% off or something.

Eh, will probably still play when it gets un-denuvo’d, combat looks interesting. But yeah, exclusivity only works for nintendo now(unless you emulate that is), it’s a good thing this shitty practice fell off.

Oh no, who could have predicted this except EVERYBODY

*oralwind* is trash lmfao

I heard the game was mediocre, with the main redeeming feature being a large cast of pales. Much more curious how Stellar Blade will do next year, and I WILL be buying that one.

I’m still at the opinion FF16 should have never been a mainline FF title when it lacks even the most basic features of one (like having a party of characters) .. should have been a spin-off like Dirge of Cerberus because it’s an action game not a JRPG .. thats one of the main reasons its failing so badly.

Trying to sell a Devil May Cry style action game as a mainline FF JRPG was an utterly stupid and boneheaded idea from the get go

PCs are expensive, and running the internet servers cost money. Hooray for video game consoles and handhelds that you never need to worry about constantly downloading different versions!

Squeenix gets what it deserves.

Should have released it on PC & PS 5 at the same time. Oh well.
