You-uh... you DO know that you could always, idk... just release untampered versions of the game?
I mean that's another option. I know we wanna pretend it wasn't so Nintendo gets to look like saints but...
Honestly, I'm all for it. I love the PS2 titles and all, but after playing this... it's hard to go back
Only thing that'd make me cry is a Legend of Dragoon remaster/remake tbh.
There were attractive women who got naked to have sex with a dirty, evil MAN.
Ergo, it's sexist. Nevermind how they're written or their agency in-series, it's simply sexism.
It's a company revenue report.
AKA everything Nintendo made, dude.
Tabata's thinking that because they've poured millions of dollars into a game only to scrap it, toss out work, and make an entirely different game under the same project title.
FFXV had a massive, MASSIVE budget that ballooned compared to P5, which will have a much, MUCH smaller budget.
Apples and oranges, broski.
1. I see your feelings have been hurt.
2. You act as if it's some tiny niche franchise that's been selling less and less. Not the case. It's consistently sold very well on consoles and has even been a system seller.
3. Meant to say Franchise, point stands. This series is not doomed for mobile if it doesn't hit PC, and the PC market in Japan is also small. If they're basing this on things back home, mobile's a done deal for all games going forward rega...
Someone's not aware of the series' history and how well it sells. A Vita-exclusive title even sold extremely well, managed to be a system seller.
This game's in no way, shape, or form doomed to be a mobile title without the PC dude.
I can't wait for this.
It's also somewhat plot-important and offers a more satisfying ending as well as better potential sequel setup.
I think you need to measure your sodium intake, broski.
Given that any game they do would be a new series, nothing at all mandates multiplatform distribution. Especially if Sony does indeed opt for this to go first party.
I'm thinking that a lot of folks commenting didn't read anything but the headline.
The article is defending the game from certain criticisms, not bashing it.
Actually, several sites listed their chief complaint in reviews as everything feeling too familiar/not having anything new to the series.
Uh...
You do know they're saying this despite early reviews being mostly positive, yes?
Can I get a game where I can wreck hordes of Stormtroopers as Luke?
Cuz that'd be great.
It kills immersion for me, especially when coupled with... everything else.
It's just not Final Fantasy anymore.
I'm sorry, but absolutely nothing about this feels like Final Fantasy to me, and the shoehorned product placement car just cements that. They keep talking how they're "grounding" it, they wanted to take out classic FF elements because it might undercut their "realistic, modern feel", the leads look completely generic all drecked out in all black...
It's like this series has completely lost its soul ever since XIII reared its head.
Yeah, a "grounded, modern setting", product placement for cars, every lead character dressed in all black...
TOTES what Final Fantasy is supposed to be! :D
You mean shoving a TV show into their game instead of focusing on one or the other?
I can live with that.
Seriously though, the whole premise of this article is ridiculous. Other devs are taking risks, other games have been innovative, please stop acting as if the future of the industry was hanging on this title and developer.
I personally thought 2 trumped 1 in story and characterization too.
