If you want a timeline of everything that led to this I can give you a longer post but the quick answer is "the same people who almost went bankrupt twice over making movies if I were to take a guess."

Reminder that the Four Job Fiesta starts today-ish, so if you want to pre-reg and get a Berserker, better do it soon. Goon Thread

Nomura has been director of like ten games in the last ten years that have all come out so the idea that he's only responsible for long delays seems bit off

Imagining a world where all square does is releasing games that are bound by handheld limitations and don't have to be the most technologically advanced things ever made would actually be pretty great.

Whenever I hear the latest news I just raise my hands and go 'That's S-E!' I won't because it will be bad and not true to the spirit of the original

Yeah, SE is actually pretty solid at lower-spec stuff, it's just their flagship high-end graphics-pushing stuff that tends to take forever. Unfortunately I doubt that's going away any time soon, but at least the games that do come out from that eventually are drat pretty.

I like the “turn Versus XIII into a musical” story. I’ll be eternally regretful the higher ups didn’t buy it.

I don't because it was never a serious pitch, he was clearly having a joke. Where as the "Drunk off my rear end making a new game" is totally serious, which enhances the comedy.

He was? I never can tell. Either way, a mainline FF musical game could only be amazing or cataclysmically bad. Both of which would be worth experiencing. CottonWolf fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Jun 17, 2018 |

Yeah I looove the FF series so I'm really interested in poopsocking my way through the Summer. I was thinking of doing the whole BM thing cuz I played WoW:WotLK I gently caress the whole thing on j00tuub ..

Wait until you meet Rafa. The trick is to strip a character nude so the enemies will want to target that character instead of the suicidal idiot NPC.

Ehhhh they play pretty differently as far as sprgs go. Like there's some stark difference on how turns go that make archers OP in tactics ogre and poo poo in FFT for example.

morallyobjected posted:Nomura has been director of like ten games in the last ten years that have all come out so the idea that he's only responsible for long delays seems bit off Technically, he's been co-director on those games. Nomura handles the conceptual and story part of the game. Most of the actual day-to-day development of games is done by a co-director, such as Tai Yasue or Hajime Tabata. Here's what co-director Tai Yasue said about working on Kingdom Hearts 3 with Nomura: quote:Legendary Square Enix designer Tetsuya Nomura recently stepped down as director of Square Enix's Final Fantasy 15 to focus on Kingdom Hearts 3. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-04-kingdom-hearts-3-dev-discusses-with-switch-from-luminous-to-unreal-engine-4 He can still affect development if keeps increasing the scope of the game or doesn't have a good idea of what the final game will play like, which was what happened with Versus XIII. Mega64 posted:Yeah, SE is actually pretty solid at lower-spec stuff, it's just their flagship high-end graphics-pushing stuff that tends to take forever. For next gen, I expect 1000+ Assassin's Creed/Destiny style teams to be the norm in AAA gaming. Many of the big Western publishers are consolidating resources on AAA service games that keep players engaged for years. If Japanese publishers can't keep up, then they'll become even more marginalized than they already are.

Yo why in the gently caress does Luna Freya not go all hardcore spirit trident on the fuckin' immortal ones rear end. I mean she totally just put a bitch slap on an elder god of the deep and is all "I AM THE ORACLE HEAR MY ROAR" like some kinda ridiculous knock off Katy Perry and yet takes a frickin dagger through the gut from the biggest spooky rear end in a top hat in the entire game. Like, surely she's had interactions with that dumb hat wearing dipshit earlier on and would be prepared for a double cross and knifing. There are some serious plot contrivances going on and I just want Ignis to get some magical/mechanical eyeballs so he can cook up a nice meal of boiled monster testicles or whatever. Thank god I want Noctis to die because he's a huge bitch. Gladio is Not Wrong in being a total rear end in a top hat and slapping some sense into our dear Prince. I'm sitting at the pause at hammerhead right before starting chapter 15. Going back and knocking out some of the harder dungeons. Costlemark Castle is a pain in the butt and I think it's bugged. The Myrllwood/ Steyliff Groveis locked out and I can't go do monster quests which is annoying but not the end of the world. I can't recall if I've done the Boulves mines yet. All I want is some closure at this point. I'm 68 hours in and this poo poo is getting really tiring.

The game will dump you in a post game mode when you've beaten the final boss if you feel like going back and doing the rest of the optional stuff.

Because women in refrigerators to further motivate a male main character is still a thing. They're pretty and powerful until the writer doesn't need them to be anymore then they're disposable. Thank you for playing.
