Dont mind me I'm just waiting until the schizo arrives

If they need to be told what people want, they can't possibly produce anything of substance.

>>713663540
And is this schizo in the room with us right now?

>>713663252 (OP)
Imagine if they'd just listened to gamers in the first place.
FF7R would have been the biggest release in history.
But they didn't.
Ad it wasn't.

>>713663648
Yup. Heartless company.

>>713663252 (OP)
what is his source?

I'm sure when they release said turn based FF game in 2028-29, people will still care and turn based games wont be an overplayed saturated market again.

>source: some vague statement transformed into what people want to hear because that's all articles are
fuck you faggot

too little
too late
fuck you, penix
congrats on alienating your once-fanbase

>>713663252 (OP)
>saying shit like this when they haven't even finished 7r
and how many decades will it take to make the next game?? would you say ten million??

>>713663252 (OP)
looking at how gay ff7r was, I think their issue extends well beyond their shit gameplay. I'm not going to give the time of day to a company who thinks ghost jannies and putting homo and niggers on their game was a good idea.

>>713663540
He posted this thread though, he's already here.

>>713663252 (OP)
What lessons can they learn from this?

>>713664198
reminder that the ghost janitors were put in to 7R specifically to condescend to the people who expected them to put out the product that they promised they were going to put out.


They flat out don't respect their base, and piss on them attempting to capture broader markets, which fails each time they try, because they're a terrible company run by dumb pieces of shit

>>713663252 (OP)
Wasn't the success of Baldur's Gate 3 enough to show that people still liked turned based games?

>>713664620
I don't think they care. I think they're more insistent on telling people "NO YOU DON'T LIKE TURN BASED GAMES, YOU LIKE THIS INSTEAD"

>>713664331
>Lune Tifa just works
hmmm

>>713663252 (OP)
It's not the fact that FF16 wasn't turn-based. It's that modern SE sucks and has for a while. Though, I didn't hate 16 as much as you guys did.

Let's be honest, if FFVII Remake was all one game and was turn-based, and they got rid of the retcons and ghost shit, you'd all find something to whine about.

>>713664620
BG3 is a crpg, it is an entirely different genre.

>>713663252 (OP)
That title is complete clickbait bullshit. All they said is they will continue to make turn-based games.

>>713665710
What about Tifa Lune?

Why do we keep pretending that SE doesn't make turn based games I swear to Christ

>>713663252 (OP)
Bet you could dedicate a small team to reworking XVI into a turn-based game and make some money. They won't think of that though.

>>713666780
i dont give a shit about octopath

>>713666687
Not so much

>>713666896
Then you're the problem. Octopath 2's incredible.

How many times has Square "learned" this lesson by now? I remember them saying the exact same thing when Bravely Default took off.

All they need to do is bring back the rat waifus

I honestly thought this game was mediocre as fuck. It's more linear than FF13, somehow. Combat is a turn based + action amalgamation that does neither well.

>>713666936
no it's not, the jobs are a straight downgrade even if they added a smidge of interconnected stories
octopath, by design, is shit narratively.

>>713663252 (OP)
Every masterpiece has its cheap copy

>>713663252 (OP)
Not really, they'll just make more action-adventure RPGs with faggy-looking protagonists that no one wants to play as anymore.

>>713663252 (OP)
Now all they need to do is put Yoko Taro on the job.

>>713665710
I think Aerith as Sciel works better honestly.

>>713663868
This. Games take too long to develop to chase trends. You have to be a trendsetter and FF is no longer that.

>>713664331
Downgrade
>>713666687
Upgrade

>>713665891
Yes, because they still bitch about Tifa's outfit and titty size. They also bitch about the english VAs, and I'm personally bitching that they didn't use it as an opportunity to explore the sectors of Midgar that we didn't get in the original game.

>>713666896
Then fuck you. You don't know what you want.

>>713667978
i want good games, octopath is not that

>>713666896
You don't give a shit about Octopath, Triangle Strategy, I Am Setsuna, Live a Live, Lost Sphear, Fantasian, the SaGa Emerald Beyond, Scarlet Grace, Diofield Chronicle, and the hundred billion remakes, ports, and remasters of turn-based games they've put out the last several gens because you don't play video games.
>hurr durr all shit!
You don't play video games. Your opinion doesn't matter.

>>713668112
you're not gonna like reading this, but just because it has turn based combat does not make it automatically good
the fact you include setsuna on this list makes me think your brain is actually rotten. That game was unadulterated trash

>Final Fantasy (x)(11....)
Turn-based traditional jRPG
>Final Fantasy Online (x)(1....)
MMO
>Final Fantasy Gambit (x)(1....)
Spinoff series using the gambit system from FFXII
>Final Fantasy Tactics (x)(2....)
Tactical jRPG spinoff series
>Final Fantasy [Slash/Blitz, or etc.] (x)(1....)
Spinoff series using real-time action combat

And so on. It was really just that simple. Consistent, organized, easy for fans to understand. They could continue making one-off worlds and stories the way they always did, could be fantasy, scifi, or a mix of both - literally whatever the fuck they want - or do sequels to particularly popular entries.
Why couldn't they think of this?

This is the equivalent of just saying gay people are cool so you don’t get canceled. Expert cuckold 33 will be forgotten in 1 year

>>713663252 (OP)
This upsets the retard who gave himself ADD

>Chase (current trend) that won't be current 5 years later when this eventually comes out
I see no possible negative outcomes of this and I wish Square Enix all of the best in it's final endeavor.

Literally all they had to do was release a FF game with Scarlet Grace's battle mechanics.

This reminds me when a particular one of those 2023/2024 shitty globohomo-made-by-committee-corposlop titles mega-bombed, and articles and I think even a direct press release by the publisher were coping that "we guess gamers don't want single-player FPSs anymore". It's not the genre, you fucking morons. it's the pandering to everyone except the people who play your games, the condescending holier-than-thou attitude, the in-your-face insulting and belittling of your core audience. that's what's causing these titles to flop. that and they're just genuinely un-fun and in many cases broken garbage, because they've driven out, silenced, or stymied any genuine creative and skilled talent in the industry.

>>713664198
>>713664583
QRD on this ghost janitor whatever it is?

>>713668558
What trends? Turn based combat has been a thing since forever. SE for some reason thought zoomers only like action game and they were clearly wrong.

>>713663252 (OP)
It doesn't take a genius to think attractive girls + fun gameplay loop = sales

>>713669061
FF7R has literal time ghosts that are trying to rerail the game to the original timeline.

>>713669084
>SE for some reason
People aren't buying their turn-based games

>>713668183
I honestly don't get the hangups really that some fans have.
I have played every single mainline FF game, and then most of the spin offs. I am a fan of the series. But I don't think them having turned based combat or real time action combat is bad in either instance. I enjoy both and think they can both provide different styles of game to the story they want to tell. And as a game that largely is "new" every time with thematic elements/consistencies, I don't really see an issue with this.
People screaming "FF will die if it doesn't embrace real time combat!" are just as weird to me as the people screaming "FF will die if it doesn't stick to turn based roots!"
All the combat systems vary in some ways, from super strict turns like FFX, to an ATB system, to even real time action like 16 now.
I enjoy them all just for different reason.
Square-Enix can suck my cock though. Upper management has absolutely lost touch with their consumers anymore.
Yeah I'm mad about FF14.

>>713669548
that's because they're not making good ones.
Octopath is a success based on revenue, but the other shit games are failing for good reason.

>>713663708
are you dense? are you retarded or something? anon said he's waiting for him

>>713669658
I agree with you. They don't understand that. All they can see is other companies making more sales than them with the same budget for these titles with action games. And in a sense they're not wrong. Mid action games with minimal talent and/or budget sell better than mid turn-based games with minimal talent and/or budget.

>>713663252 (OP)

If you slap turn based into Remake/Rebirth, it would still have a retarded story.

>>713668112
>Triangle Strategy
>SaGa
I liked these. Everything else ranges from bad (Octopath) to shovelware.

Good. Sadly they'll never learn to drop facescan and return to cooler more stylized characters

Finally.

>>713663252 (OP)
Hope they fucking do it and do it right.
Final Fantasy being outshone by a tiny 30-man French game is nothing short of embarrassing.

>>713672571
The ff7 remake is done for, it has too much of Nomura's chuunibyo kingdom hearts stench on it to be salvaged. The idea is for them to MAYBE learn their lesson and make future titles better, not just try to make everything into an action game with barely any rpg elements. It would drive down the cost and dev time for sure if they just stuck with turn-based but SE has been pissing and burning money for so long I don't think they care about budget at all at this point.

>>713663252 (OP)
wow more turn based jrpgs, as if we did already have enough of those...

I'd still try a fully turn based FF17 if it looked like they actually put some thought into it.

>>713663713
All they had to do was listen...

Can't wait for ff17 to be turn based and still flop. They simply don't realize people dont care about final fantasy anymore.

>>713663252 (OP)
Stillbirthbros?

>>713669548
For a reason. That reason being they first had Yoshi-P say that turn-based isn't selling so FF needs to move towards action combat. Then they release non-FF turn-based games. This is the part where you need to stop and think about it for a moment. What does it tell you when someone says X but does Z? It tells you that they are a hypocrite. Their non-FF turn-based games didn't sell because people dont want to reward hypocrisy.

>>713668112
>Octopath, Triangle Strategy, I Am Setsuna, Live a Live, Lost Sphear, Fantasian, the SaGa Emerald Beyond, Scarlet Grace, Diofield Chronicle
Not Final Fantasy so I dont care.
>hundred billion remakes, ports, and remasters of turn-based games they've put out the last several gens
Why would I pay for the same game I already own?
I want new flagship numbered FF entry and I want it to be turn-based. No exceptions, no alternatives. Simple as. Yes, I am autistic. Problem?

>>713680465

>>713663252 (OP)
They never said it was inspiring the next FF they just said they were aware it was successful

>>713663713
How would making Rebirth's combat worse improve its sales?

>>713663252 (OP)
They literally never said that

>>713682179
>I want new flagship numbered FF entry and I want it to be turn-based. No exceptions, no alternatives. Simple as. Yes, I am autistic. Problem?
Why would they gamble with a game that costs a hundred gorillion dollars and 10 years to develop when the games that cost a half a gorillion dollars and 2 years to develop in that playstyle aren't selling?

Threads like these really are proof that nobody actually likes E33 based on its own merits and only praise it to trash and influence other franchises
Which makes sense because e33 is actually hot dogshit

>>713663648
If people wanted turn based games from square enix they would buy the turn based games square enix releases. Expedition 33 is a meme.

>>713680945
>That reason being they first had Yoshi-P say that turn-based isn't selling so FF needs to move towards action combat.
He wasn't the first to say that. Kitase started saying it as far back as 2011.

>>713663252 (OP)
se didn't say that

Will they copy the parryslop?

>>713663252 (OP)
this journo is either really stupid or really dishonest
they never said that
what you're actually getting is more ports of the old games for $80 with denuvo

>>713682907
We want turn-based FF, not turn-based Square. Yes, there is a difference.

>>713663252 (OP)
thats ONE lesson learned, many still not

Europeans saving Japanese games industry once again.

>>713666018
What do you mean? There isn't much difference between "JRPGs" and classic CRPGs. Classic CRPGs just give you more freedom to create your own characters, but turn based is still turn based, or whatever active time or real time with pausing or whatever that keeps it form being a full on action game.
