I mean, please don't forget they patched in like an entire quarter finished monster hunter multiplayer mode into 15. SE had no goddamn idea what they were doing with it and lucked out that its as decent as it is.

The beginning is good and the games disjointed, janky as hell roadtrip aesthetic sucks to like, play the entire middle of the game but the ending nails the feeling of why that sort of experience is meaningful to human beings who do that so people who finished the game were also happy.

In summary: FF16 should be given to Yoko Taro


I am subbing to FF14 like 66% because there's going to be a Yoko Taro-designed NieR raid

My pet theory is that FF16 will be a more back to basics style story and setting but with Kingdom Hearts style combat. They're never going back to turn based battles sadly

I think SE is going to continue doing DQ is boring turn-based, FF is real-time-ish poo poo, and the spin-offs are where you get the turn based games with actual gameplay changes and possible innovations.

Or they'll just forget to ever make another FF game because FFVII part 3 is never happening.

E3 should prove that making a game look cool and making it fun are two very different things

It did look cool but it wasn't even half baked, like someone said it was quarter-finished at best. Just kinda hacked into 15.

I mean, if you mean mainline games as of the end of this year it will be the only one released this decade so by default its what all mainline final fantasy games are currently like.

Final fantasy games aren't really anything "these days" because they take like 6 years to make now and Square has so much internal turmoil every project is an insane mismanagement.

15 went through like 5 different redesigns. They don't know what they want.

13, 13-2 and 13-3 were all pretty different in how they were designed.

14 was a gigantic disaster that got remade completely into 14 ARR which is actually good.

Square is a mess now. (but still capable of making art)

E: Remember that 15 was originally supposed to be "Versus 13".

Well, yeah, I mean look at the track record for sequels in the rest of the franchise. I'm even leaving my massive personal bias against IX out of this one, because seriously have you read the setup story for FFX-3?

I feel like this game actually has the potential to bomb. Square-Enix has an uphill battle convincing people to go in on this game because 1.) it will not be the complete story releasing next year, and 2.) Square-Enix was honest at E3 that the 2nd half will take just as much time to complete development. People are looking at a 3 - 5 year wait for the 2nd half. That is a very tough sell.

counterpoint it's going to be the best selling game of whatever year it comes out because the generation who played it when they were 12 think it's the greatest jrpg ever created and now are adults either with disposable income or with a desperate need to forget the fact that they have no disposable income by playing videogames from when they were 12

Its sorta frustrating because the reason being they wanted super fancy menu screens instead of a level select screen with a static image.

Well it's worth dwelling on for how ridiculous it was. Since they looked at MonHun, which people love bc every weapon feels like this unique action game unto itself, and just made a game that was like watching a youtube video of people playing Monster Hunter.

Exactly.

And honestly iterating on XV's gameplay and putting in a good solid story (7 isn't perfect but will do nicely, especially with the nostalgia factor) is what I want them to do right now.

XV had some good ideas but the execution was a mess. It tried to be too many things and then they had to rush something out the door to justify all the money they wasted.

Starting fresh with the same technology and using a very clear and very popular existing story should hopefully focus them enough that they manage to deliver something fun.

Feb 10, 2007

on the XFL: i'm not so wedded to ideology that i'd ignore the NFL if it were entertaining to watch, but it's not, at all. there's room for a football league that actually lets a catch be a catch, allows players to hit the QB and cover wide receivers, isn't swamped with three-minute minimum replay reviews, doesn't have a flag thrown every three players, and so on. so with all that in mind, it's dumb as hell that the XFL is trying to compete with the NFL based on politics. the amount of people who quit watching pro football because of kneeling is remarkably small. also, they're not letting in any player with criminal records, which i'd say is even worse than the "no kneeling" thing. it's destined to fail after one season (again)

on the FF7 remake: i've been saying for years that i don't trust today's Square to make a decent remake. i think a lot of people are going to be disappointed in it when they play. how they'll be disappointed, i'm not sure. i just think people will be, and not just in a "this isn't the game i grew up with" way
