Based on what Wikipedia says it was released September of 1995 in EU but I haven't take notice of it since 96 so that's why in my mind it came out in 96 that was the year Resident Evil released & that was the game that make me to wanna buy one so much :)
He said it himself why DQ never become popular in the West, PS came out in 1996 & the next year FFVII released & people take notice of how much fun a JRPG can be & a new fandom created that was starving for good JRPGs with amazing stories & characters, & what ENIX did? they never take advantage of all those people who were starving for good JRPGs, the first DQ they release on PS was VII & that was at the end of 2001 & 'only' in NA, they never release it in ...
/Facepalm there is limits to how clueless you can be but those guys from DS get the golden prize...
And now as we look back at the 2 original Diablo created from Blizzard North & compare it with this garbage Blizzard of today have create, we can't help but feel so disappointed & betrayed by them, they literally destroy one of the most iconic game franchise ever, D3 was for me the worst disappointment I have ever felt from a game that I anticipate for 10 whole years, I don't believe I will feel so disappointed ever again as Diablo was one of my most favorite games in existenc...
This game is going to revitalize classic JRPGs, FF is dead for years now & many other classic JRPG franchise are abandoned for the past 2 console generations, that's one of the last that still remains & can revive this genre that is close to completely die, it looks gorgeous, when you look how it plays you know it's the real thing, a true traditional JRPG like they used to do them back in the good old days, for people who fell in love with JRPGs back in the golden age of SNES/...
What Frinker says, this year was crap & as long companies bastardize all the classic JRPG series trying to cater to western audience we are going to see many more crap years ahead of us, this crappiness are nowhere near over yet imo, it's going to continue until the J from JRPGs removed & Japanese RPGs loose anything that make them Japanese-like, that's were we are heading currently, a whole genre is close to extinction, the games that can be called JRPGs anymore, original tra...
Let's hope that he won't waste a good game once again on a console with either very small player base or a console were the majority who own it doesn't care at all about JRPGs...
For me 2016 was the year Final Fantasy died once again, every time a new FF released it's like the movie 'Groundhog Day' the same thing happen every time, FFXII trash No1, FFXIII trash No2, FFXV trash No3, inb4 same thing happen when we get FFXVI in another 10 years from now.
Hmm let's see, I will say what it doesn't have compare to older FF's I speak from FFX & previous ones, it doesn't have a good Epic story that stay with you after you finish the game actually it's story is garbage, it doesn't have amazing characters that you love to play with & characters that make you excited with their personality & backstory, it's characters are boring & uninspired, it doesn't have a good battle system that require thinking &a...
Games like FFXV would never should exist in the main FF line, only as spin-off's, that's the truth, but SE didn't have the brain to realize that & now they have ruin the main series with that open world hack n slash they name FFXV.
Now let's see how the 'user' metacritic of each main FF game is:
FFVII: 9.2
FFIX: 8.9
FFX: 8.7
FFVIII: 8.6
FFXV: 7.8
FFXII: 7.6
FFXIII: 7.3
As we can see all the FF from VII to X have way above 8 & VII is the only one that have over 9, as for everything released after X the user score drop below 8 for the first time ever, is that a coincidence? no it's not, people keep on saying for...
When game sites left & right give 'best rpg of the year' award to this trash you realize how grim our times is... it makes you really sad that we reach that state, but hopefully Dragon Quest series & few other good games will always exist to clean that bad taste games like FFXV leave behind, they are not many but we are thankful that good JRPGs still exist even if their number have decline a lot the past years.
That's very exciting I must say now I have another JRPG to anticipate aside from DQ XI, I love fantasy setting on everything games, anime, books/novels w/e I hope it's good & I hope it's turn-based.. no more hack n slash supposed-to-be JRPGs ala FFXV plz, we have more than enough of that crap around, what the industry miss is high budget traditional JRPGs for consoles, so ye bring me a good turn based JRPG with amazing story & characters plz, I miss so much to play a good ...
Everyone keep on saying how horrible combat is because all you do is spam one button to attack & one button to block sometimes, that's all that is in the end, & you call that thing fun? have you ever play any of the previous turn-based/ATB main FF games in order to know how combat used to be in the past? & if yes how can you call that terrible combat fun when all you do is spam 1 button & you play just 1 character the rest is in auto-pilot & magic is almost non-existen...
FFXV would fit more on a list with the most disappointing games of 2016.
I watch a few gameplay trailers from this game & the combat & boss fights are amazing, you actually need skill to play this, it's not a brainless hack n slash, also the art is stunning! that's a game definitely worth playing, if we add to all this that the game is rated M what more can you ask? :P
"For a series universally known and loved for its emphasis on storytelling, can I recommend a Final Fantasy game despite its unsatisfying story? Instinctively I'd say no.."
This part is from the review EUROGAMER.NET did for the game, they didn't even give a recommended to FFXV because Aoife Wilson who did the review is a true fan, & true fans who were there since the SNES/PS1 days know what FF means, & what SE serve us can't be called an FF, it...
Sounds fair to me & what this trash deserve, that's what every reviewer would give it if not for SE paying for good scores or if the people who did the review knew what FF means & what elements an FF require to have most of all in order to considered an FF, you can't even call that turd an FF, it's something else entirely, I doubt if even those who made it know wtf is it... I would call it a Skyrim-GTA-DMC-Bayonetta mixed thing that end up be an abomination like no other, ...
It's funny that there was a time many-many years ago that I couldn't w8 for a new FF to come out & when that happen it always was a day1 buy for me & now every time a new FF released I don't give a fuck & it doesn't matter at all to me, from now on that feeling of anticipation I had for new FF games is going to change for DQ instead, this game looks awesome & exactly how a real JRPG must be, DQ is the new FF for me, FF can't even considered a JRPG anymore i...
