The bros on a road trip thing looks pretty cool though, but I bet that's going to end up falling apart about 3 hours in and it will just be your typical dumb FF bullshit

4 shonen knife looking guys who have nothing to distinguish them at a glance going on a road trip isn't exactly an airship with knights on it or a couple of mechs raiding a town.

The problem with the bad Final Fantasy games isn't that they're unimaginative or formulaic, it's that all that creativity amounts to silly game mechanics and a nonsense story (see: FF8, FF13)

Sorrt FF15 is a little too DBZ and not Card Captor Sakura enough for you.

Counterpoint: in the PS1 era they released Spirits Within, a mistake so bad it killed the company.

It's a deep and telling moment, the first Final Fantasy game which you feel too old play, like the episode you stopped watching the Simpsons, or when all new music begins to sound like noise and you begin yelling incoherently about selfies and drooling a little as early onset dementia sets in.

to be fair, spirits within was a technological milestone at the time. they produced results, just not results that anyone cared about.

FF15 looks cool and that's why I'm sure Square is going to gently caress it up because that's also what I said about every previous game and look what happened to them.

I am so unhappy with the direction they have gone for FF sagas. FF7 is one of a kind and unfortunately, will never happen again. I think it started to get real shity after FF10.

Not liking japanese boy bands and haute couture doesnt mean im against anime. And i'm only really opposed to it because it's a super boring aesthetic for a series that used to be known for colorful character designs and grandiose settings. I'd have the same reaction if they were all wearing denim and cowboy hats, although that would at least be funny.

I'm pretty sure either Final Fantasy or Monster Hunter have already done "everyone's a cowboy but it's still anime" before.

Oh my god you're angry because the guys in FF15 are cool and have friends and nice clothes, and as soon as they're not morose whiners you can't identify with them.
