It won’t happen, but I would unironically love if in the last quarter of XVI the story did a classic FF derail and suddenly we’re on a spaceship to the moon to fight capitalism/ghosts/a runaway AI.

I'm not sure if that's :thejoke: or if you haven't played 14 but uh

I have the free preorder for the Lite version but I said it once and I'll say it again: a 30 FPS racing game is going to be a real hard sell when Mario Kart 8 DX is on the same system.

Japanese Yahoo is more relevant than the US version (being basically Softbank paying for the naming rights insulated it from the scavenging that occured to the US side), but it's definitely been primarily about the auctions for a long time now--the big prestige advertising, naming rights to the Fukuoka baseball stadium, transitioned from "Yahoo Dome" to "Yahoo Auctions Dome" in 2013 (and is now Paypay Dome, for Softbank's Paypal/Alipay competitor.)

The NHK ranking is definitely gonna be more indicative of the public at large.

I'm wondering if this is actually how it skewed the way it did, too. Notice that, compared to the NHK one, the SNES ones are scoring high, with even FF3 being in the top ten (which granted isn't much in a field of 15).

Maybe people are voting for the traditional lower-sellers there because they're getting the Auction Site Community, who are more likely to think favorable of the rarer niche products. Meanwhile, the losers of the survey seem to be from that 'sold gangbusters but not really beloved' crowd; 8, 13, and 15.

I would've called that ludicrous a week ago, but if they can get their game to run semi-consistently on PC then they've got at least one very strong feature over Elden Ring.

Nothing against Elden Ring, I’m curious to play it when I have time and am not working 60+ hour weeks, but in my limited time I’d rather play something bonkers than another misery simulator.

working on 10 now. Of the list, only 2 is bad, 3 is much more interesting than 1, but its also a lot more annoying, what with the forced mini parts and the final dungeon.
