Surely the Switch 2 will save it!
And to think it still sold better than Rebirth...

>>713388303 (OP)
>Rebirth
At least XVI kept its dignity. Rebirth is a shameless cashgrab for the terminally retarded.

>Switch 2
At 10 fps?

>>713388465
Don't worry, framegen will fix it.

>>713388361
Rebirth is actually a video game unlike XVI.

>>713388361
>Rebirth is a shameless cashgrab for the terminally retarded
t.

>>713388520
A bad video game that killed the FF7 brand.

>>713388303 (OP)
Squeenix is desperate.

>>713388645
What's bad about it?

>>713388520
>unlike XVI
What.
XVI eats shit, but who on Earth would argue it isn't a video game?

>>713388846
Anyone who had the misfortune of playing through it, like me.

>>713388685
They have no major releases until 2nd half of 2026, might as well throw out some ports

>>713388465
You lost Eric.

>>713388303 (OP)
XVI is dogshit. Yes, I've played it. I even finished it (out of spite because I was in an argument with someone that it got better) and half the players haven't.
Square-Enix can put it on every platform under the sun, it will never succeed because it's a poorly-paced piece of shit. Even the Game of Thrones nods are shallow. Oh, Titan lost his hands? Totally makes up for the lack of true political intrigue because you went back to the same evil progenitor god nonsense.
Triangle Strategy is 200x the game this dross is.

>>713388815
The characters are flanderized to hell and back.
The combat is mindless spam-x-to-awesome and it's piss-easy (yes, even on the higher difficulty).
The story is literal fanfic tier that feels like a Marvel multiverse capeslop movie.
The entire game is littered with fags and minorities and it's woke as shit.
The only good music in the entire game is that which was made for the original FF7 multiple decades ago.
The pacing is awful and you're constantly bombared by dull uninspired minigames to pad the length.
The game somehow looks way way worse than Remake.

I'm glad I didn't pay for Rebirth, but I won't even bother playing FF7R3.

the only final fantasy I want to see on the switch 2 is crystal chronicles

Bazza when you get here can you post the webm of the mutt eating fried chicken while he plays XVI with one hand?

>>713388907
I'm confused as to what point it is you're trying to make.

>>713389147
>only one line about gameplay and it's completely wrong

>>713389256
>reading comprehension
And you wonder why SE keeps shitting in your face.

>>713389241
Rebirth is 100 hours long and XVI is 40.

>>713389324
Rebirth is 99% filler.

>>713389324
unless you're going for 100% that's not even close to true

>>713388907

Does XV really only have 6ish hours of cutscenes?
For some reason I remember that game feeling like it droned on and on.

>>713389083
>Even the Game of Thrones nods are shallow
this bothered me so much
i played the demo thinking we were in for a more grounded final fantasy for fucking once
but no it's go kill alien-god with the power of hope

>>713389862
That demo was the biggest bait and switch since a fake hooker advertisement. The ones where she looks young and perky and you turn up and it's some old Asian lady who will offer rawdog for extra cash.
>t. Don't ask.

>>713388303 (OP)
Why would I want to play a bad game with lower FPS, worse resolution and less comfortable controls?

Don't care, not buying.

>>713388303 (OP)
just get the pretense out of the way and say squeenix is gay and should die

>>713391604
squeenix is gay and should die

>>713388303 (OP)
720p ps3 graphics

>>713392061
Upscaled to 720p!

>>713388685
not enough to develop actual games for nintendo instead of half assed ports of crusty games

>>713388303 (OP)
no thanks, snoyjeets can keep their trash

>>713388303 (OP)
Cool, cool. Where the FUCK is DQXII?

fuck it who cares at this point. i don't think any of us that payed $70 for this piece of shit have much to say anymore.
i very rarely buy games launch day full price but that fucking demo tricked me.

>>713388303 (OP)
Another piece of shit game ported to Switch 2 on Key Card.

At least this announcement will make them tendies super happy and smug.

I can't wait to hear how "it's a really good game" and "runs so well on Switch 2" despite still being the least FF-like game in the series, playing like Diet Caffeine-Free Great Value Devil May Cry on easy mode, and running at 30 FPS at 240p.

I wish I could be that delusional and happy eating shit.

>>713388303 (OP)
FFXV I would buy for sure. FFXVI is a no go from me.

>>713388361
XVI is good it's just not a Final Fantasy game
Rebirth is great minus the pozzed npc's
Remake is irredeemable fucking garbage
Octopath Traveler 2 is the best game Square Enix has made in years

>>713393198
Who?

>>713393198
which type will your hero be? 1 or 2?

>>713391939
great, thanks

>>713393732
>it’s just not a Final Fantasy game
The box says otherwise

>>713393805
Who gives a shit? They even tell you straight up one is male and the other female.

>>713393915
>refers to son (singular) as "them"

>>713394136
Gotta make sure the mentally ill westerners don't throw a hissy fit.

>put game into shitty program to port it to new console
>work done = 0
>profit = any
no one cares about profit anyway retard

game key card i pressume?

>>713394231
Japanese has no his/her pronouns. For decades translators have been adding them to the English releases, even going so far as to code a toggle switch for them if the player can select their gender. Now, not only can they appeal to delusional retards, they can do it by being lazy too.

みなさん、日本語を学んでください。

>>713394568
Carts are 64 GB base, game can be ported just fine with that size.

But then is SE.

>>713388303 (OP)
How? what are they planning on doing running it at 240p upscaled to 540p? this game runs like shit on PS5 what chance does Switch 2 have, here's a better idea, make FFXVII a Switch 2 exclusive and just ignore everything else.

>>713395359
64GB cards cost more than key cards. It's not about space, it's about squeezing every penny from the customer.

>>713395845
Square Enix is the kind of company that would just put a code in a box if they made 1c more per too, anyone wanting FFXVI on Switch is fucked hard.

>>713388303 (OP)
If there's one thing nintendo fans love, it's boring colorless action games.

>>713396030
Fuck Chocobo GP so goddamn much.

I was a huge fan of the original on PS1 and was super excited for this, just for it to have pre-order exclusive characters as well as ones locked behind limited time battle passes and fucking in game currency. I don't recall, but I don't even think it had any online multiplayer, so just why?

Didn't this flop because of the gay scene?

Shouldn't have gone woke.

>>713388303 (OP)
If it doesn't run like shit and explode your switch 2 the maybe it can sell. But it's shit on every console already.

>>713396030
I feel vindicated that the third party games on switch 2 have been flopping so far, besides one of the only games fully on cart (Cyberpunk).

I’ve played every FF game, some of them multiple times, except 13, 15, and 16. Something about them just seems ‘off’ to me. And I’ve consciously avoided them for so long that if I tried to play one of them now, I start getting shivers in my body, anxiety, and feelings of dread, like I’m about to die or I’m being attacked.

>porting ff16
eww port over kh3 man. that'd actually sell.

>>713390060
>t. Don't ask.
anon...what the fuck

>>713389643
FF15 could honestly use more cutscenes considering they cut out major plot points from the game and put them in a movie

>>713396505
FF13 is an easy play, the music and graphics are gorgeous.
People just got unnecessarily mad about it since the game is an actual one way journey where the party is under some urgency so you can't revisit old areas

>>713397318
trash gameplay, world, characters, and story, looks are all it's got going for it. music is mid by FF standards. Everyone hated it because it was a bad game, not just because it was linear and shit
