So again. Do you own shares in Nintendo and square to be this obsessed with their profit margins or are you just autistic?

I used to be a huge Square fan but ever since they started pandering to the western market I want to see them burn. They sold their soul to Satan.

Yamauchi was right.

>>717581564
Switch 2 players would need to use discord on their phone to raid but I guess they already need to use Discord to find Mario Kart World matches so maybe Switch 2 owners wouldn't mind. The lack of built in discord in order to shill game chat is probably a real concern in regards to cross platform games on the Switch 2 in general, if you're the guy on phone Discord that doesn't have push to talk then everyone hates you. That was true way back at the launch of FF14 2.0 as well when PS3 players were using phone apps to raid and everyone hated them because it's not feasible to use push to talk on your phone while playing a game at the same time.

>>717578651 (OP)

Honestly I am all for Nintendo doing a hostile takeover and forcing Discord to be family friendly. These cocksuckers want to play games and fuck the entire world over? They'll win shitty prizes. I know people would just migrate to another chat program

14 was bad long before Dawntrail. It being shit was just the straw that broke the camel's back. But they get what what they deserve for moving literally everyone competent off their money printer and using it to train interns.

>>717579880
Never underestimate the power of sheer stupidity + cult brand loyalty

>>717581993
Discord already has a cuck mode for iOS I think where you can't access anything R-18, it'd just be porting that over and maybe restricting it a bit more. But Nintendo is trying to push Game Chat to the point where there's a button for it on their new controllers so having a free chat option that's cross platform defeats the point of Game Chat because everyone would use Discord instead.

>>717581645
Squeenix had nothing to do with that though. They just own the rights to some of the characters.

yoko taro is their only saving grace but the replicant remake was the last thing in the drakenier series.

FF16 would have been at least 5x more successful had it been developed as a switch exclusive rather than a piss5 one

They made nothing but trash since XVI

It’s funny people will use this to blame XVI, when XVI is a great fucking game and did just fine, what did they make this year? Fucking dogshit

Modern tendies are like people who prioritize and boast non-stop about how they come from proud lineage or heritage yet they were never there for any of things said lineage or heritage was famous for. Most if not all nintendo fans today have no fucking understand how bad the decline of them as actually, because none of them really grew up when nintendo was consider consistently good and highest standard of gaming practices, they just have the word of mouth of what it was like back then and they tote that around as still always being the case

>>717580126
I had both a PS1 and an N64
I had 2 brothers and friends from both
We used the N64 way more than the PS1 to the point that the PS1 had dust on it. The PS1 was basically just a FF machine. We played our N64 every day with Smash, Mario Kart, Goldeneye, Mario Party, etc.

If you were an only child or didn't have at least 2 other friends to play with, the N64 was a waste. If you could get 3-4 people together then the N64 mogs the PS1.

>>717584158
The game was not very good, Anon. I couldn't even be bothered to finish it. A low rent DMC with one combo and one weapon and a few abilities with cooldowns. MMO-tier quest design, padded with inane bullshit, and a story that doesn't know if it wants to be GoT with Chocobos or just a FF game. The main thing I liked about the game was the main cast were likable and Clive is a good protagonist, but it eventually just got too boring. I blame myself for doing side quests but normally in Final Fantasy I love doing side content.

>>717597345
They were trying to evolve FF to be more action-y, movement based during FFX, FFXII, FFXIII

They finally did with FF7R but you have to babysit 3 party members because they can't auto heal unless you have the auto cure materia, so your eyes are glued to the 3 HP bars rather than the cool action. For FFXVI they just copied DMC because it was too hard coming up with 6+ main characters to be party members like traditional final fantasy, so you just control one guy. It's like they wanted to save money and headaches.

>>717582229

>>717597567

>>717597705
>Nigga how are you missing two achievements
One of the achievements is getting to level 99. I could probably do that pretty easily and quickly. But I didn't really see a point in doing so given how I had already done everything there was to do in the game. If I have 100%d the game in-game, what point is there to reach max level just for an achievement?
Granted that yeah, I've missed one other achievement too. It's one of the common ones too. Tied to some character skill I didn't use I imagine.

>Also, why did you not buy Fantasian when it originally launched on Apple
Because as much as I love Mistwalker and their games, and RPGs in general. I also can't stand iphones and I will likely never buy an iphone ever.
Had it been available on the Android store I genuinely, probably would have bought it though. That said, I always had a suspicion it would get ported to PC and consoles, and I guessed right.

>>717598174
Bloat, unironically. In my opinion their best product was a low budget well realized remake in Revenge of the Seven

>>717598000
You can just click it to show it. That's probably the one where you're supposed to use percée on a burning enemy

>>717597926
It's funny how they'd rather lose 2 billion dollars than port Bloodborne, fuck they could've made Bloodborne 2 and 3 with that money.

FF7R3 won't do them any favors, even if it's somehow the best game ever made. There are diminished sales between sequels and episodic games. In a best case scenario they would match the sales of Rebirth, which they were not happy with.
Rebirth also likely turned off a large chunk of fans in a way that they won't return. That game was a mess of stupid busywork and anyone shilling it should be ashamed of themselves. KH4 is also likely to be DOA because KH3 was terrible. Disney has too much creative control and they don't know how video games work.

>>717589534
They're taking care of one of my favorite mangas right now. They need to split off from the Squeenix company because it's a debuff, I was apprehensive to start reading it when I saw they were involved.

>>717598231
So how much did you pay for E33's deluxe edition and the physical Switch version of Fantasian?

>>717598174
The disc space of the PS1 and PS2 kept them in check. Now all their games are just checking off a list of mandatory "yes this is an AAA game" stuff, like too much cutscenes and graphics.

guys guys don't forget remake is coming to switch 2 and we REALLY need those sales so we need to stop being enemies with tendies now. be nice.

>>717578651 (OP)
>Kingdom Hearts literally holding them together
Let nomura cook you old hacks

>hasn't released a notable game in over 20 years
it's a miracle they're still around.

>>717598415
>So how much did you pay for E33's deluxe edition and the physical Switch version of Fantasian?
I don't remember. Looks like the Deluxe Edition is normally sold for 60€. But it was discounted 20 or 10 percent at launch wasn't it? So what did I pay? 55€? 50€?

As for what I paid for Fantasian? I bought it from spelbutiken at launch. And I can see that they've currently got the game discounted 28%, but it seems like the game's regular price is higher now than at launch.
I probably paid like $55 for it or something.

Why do you ask?

>>717598720
he cooked over 2 decades ago fuck and hasn't since
that man is still salty he never got to make ff7 versus

Haven't they also killed all their gachas in the west?

>>717599101
Because I'm trying to figure out how much you value games like that. In the case of Fantasian, you only valued it as much as you could play it on your preferred platform. In the case of E33, you got it on discount. Both games are great and all, but you wouldn't have wanted them if they were on platforms you didn't like or priced high to reflect their GOTY quality.

>>717599256
They should have considering the sad state of FF7.

>>717598415
Are you upset that people want real games from Square Enix or why would you post an FFXIV webm?

>>717599406
People don't want real games from Square Enix. Fantasian was published by SE for consoles/PC and barely anyone bought it. If E33 was an SE published game, people would have shit on it for being an SE game. And because the webm shows you how much Sakaguchi loves FFXIV.

>>717584158
FFXV destroyed the FF brand.

>>717599374
>In the case of E33, you got it on discount.
As opposed to wait until after the launch and for the launch discount to end?
Are you trying to shame me for how I wanted to play it at launch or something? I'm confused.

Also you're being a little bitch. You're right I didn't buy an iphone to play Fantasian. But had it been on just about any other system, I would have bought it. Yeah you're a little cunt me thinks.

>>717597345
Is Fantasian any good?

>FFR3
>KH4

Lol they are fucked.

>>717599652
Yea, I am a little bitch. Because you like to go around saying you want these games, but you don't. You'll make excuses for not buying them because it's not on the platform you want or its too expensive. You want these games. Pay for them. Support the creators and developers. Stop being such a little faggot.

SE really should just go back to turn-based gameplay.
I.E give me FFX gameplay you fucks, it was perfect.

>>717599823

>>717599823
Less corridor pls

>>717599670
It's genuinely incredible. And it plays like Final Fantasy.
It starts a tad slow, but it genuinely doesn't take that long before the game gets going. Once you unlock the ability to teleport and the game's main gimmick of dimension stuff, and start recruiting multiple party members. Then the game rolls onwards rather nicely and honestly just keeps getting better and better as the world expands, even more mechanics are introduced, and more party members are recruited.

If you ever liked FF7 through FF10 or like FF in general. Then I can't fathom why you wouldn't like Fantasian too. I love the game.

What about Donkey Kong Bananza?
It's a genuinely unique game. There are some superficial similarities when it comes to its formula with games like Mario Odyssey. Except not really because Bananas are not hidden the same way and they don't gate progress like Odyssey's moons.

And in truth, even if it did have Odyssey's formula (which it doesn't), in practise, no other game plays like Bananza.
There are games like Teardown or Minecraft or whatever that does tons of voxelstuff, but there is no larger adventure game platformer that does 80+% fully destructible worlds with voxels, where you can grab and chuck pieces of the world all over the place as you wish.
It's a actually a unique game experience, and it's a strong game experience too.

Final Fantasy hasn't been good in a long time. Lightning was the last memorable character.
No one wants remakes/remasters no matter how much rebbit, twitter, and /v/aginas will tell you otherwise.

Pay high quality writers for a fun story involving spirits.
Pay high quality game designers to cum up with a system that rewards choice, but also allows grinding.
Pay high quality artists to make and design 3D cool shit using blender sfm porn models as a base line. Add in girls with huge boobs and ass and guys with huge abs and arms.
Don't use AI, embrace memes and the internet wanting funny moments rather than embracing dork souls stupidity that is only popular because of streamers.

I think the key is that you want the *player* to have these sorts of feelings when they play, not the character. When the character outright says that what they're doing is cool, it becomes significantly less cool.

still funniest shit i've heard in a while
>we have one big profitable game
>our mmo
>oh I know, we'll take the lead off of it and most of his team and leave a skeleton crew of retard interns practice with it
>wait everyone stopped playing it cause its shit now and they ruined their decade plus story?
>tell them we know and just wait while we do other stuff and fix it later
Its insane that they would just sac their best game moneymaker for no reason, and then just ignore it while seeing the problem. I dont even know how whoevers in charge hasn't been fired already.

>>717582679
i've been saying your pic for years. These games are luxury products. Nobody needs the newest game, its for entertainment and games have extreme longevity due to software storage and cartridges/discs lasting a long time. They've tried to force the always online shit and gaas as a way to change this dynamic but its already way too late for that and they've made games way too shit, people are increasingly losing interest and/or cant even afford the fucking shit anymore. I dont know what they expected to happen or if they even thought about it long-term.

>still won't release Melody of Memory on steam
Are they retarded?

>>717619320
Yes, the love for iwata is cultlike.

>>717579403
groovy

>>717619379
>people were begging for KH on switch
>release cloud versions for no reason
Yes, yes they are

>>717578817
Why? All they've made is a crappy iphone spinoff, and a remake of a 1994 super nintendo game

>>717579403
Feels bittersweet for some reason desu.

>>717580501
Nintendo is my friend!!

Was this nigger was Nostradamus or something? This applies to Hollywood too if any of you haven't realized it yet.

He was right about some things and wrong about others. Standard stuff, really.

>It was still a profitable quarter overall.
You do not need infinite growth to stay in business.
It should be normal to have ups and downs.

If they put KH on Switch 2 they can save themselves. They deserve death for their cloud game releases

>>717580126
False, most people went n64 and then ps2 just fine

>>717581015
He's still mad that FF7 was on the PS1 and not the N64.

>>717621951
It came to switch after like 20 years later so it worked out lol

>still a profitable quarter overall
>375 replies
jrpg fags are obsessed

>>717619379
Square Enix logic:
>release rhythm game no one asked for
>lock it to console with lowest rhythm game playerbase
>refuse to port it even after KH does well on Steam
>probably prepping a "definitive" remix re-release in 3 years that costs $60 again

They're absolutely allergic to money unless it's being siphoned through gacha trash or NFT garbage. Melody of Memory would’ve done fine on PC, but nah, gotta keep sabotaging their own franchises like tradition.

>>717623620
I blame Nomura

>>717578651 (OP)
More like goes woke, goes broke.
They filled final fantasy rebirth with nigger faggots and sheboons, and made XVI a gay sex easy mode version of devil may cry. And the gravest sin of all, nerfing Tifa's tifas.

100% these are the most samefagged threads on this board.

>>717616337
The establishment of the "Ethics" department.

>>717578817
Name a single good game they ever made.

>>717581074
How is that weird ass tranny associated with Square Enix let alone a director. Oh wait, Squenix has been woke for years.

Ah yes, square. The company that has consistently supported the switch for years and even made timed exclusives. Such treachery.

Fucking makes me livid to this day.

Nothing to do with it besides developing the original game, you fucking retard.

Hard-core Nintendo fags are like women. They can't let go of the past.

>>717578651 (OP)
Maybe they should stop producing low effort shit like the SaGa games or Octopath and it's look alikes and make games of actual quality. Better yet, hire some actual talent because like Disney, they are creatively bankrupt.

>>717618462
>Not so much Yamauchi, Yamauchi would be fine with Nintendo now since it's basically what he was doing.
Lmao delusional, Modern Nintendo went againt his vision and made a Nintendo Museum, knowing full well he would never approve of it. Even Miyamoto shittalked him despite Yamauchi being the reason he's in the position he is today.

>>717578651 (OP)
>it was still a profitable quarter
I see your Bingeroonie politics are affecting your ability to read, LOL.

>>717624496
Each Octokike game sold like 1 - 3 million and comparatively cost nothing to make. The SaGa 2 remake was also very successful. The actual financial failures are games like FF16 and 7R2. They cost so much to make that even 3 million sales aren't enough.

>>717605319
I hope they go bankrupt and sell the franchise, and whoever gets it goes back to making 4 niggas with a player created party like on NES.

>>717624737
>Modern Nintendo went againt his vision and made a Nintendo Museum
>his vision
>something he never said but rather an assumption by miyamoto
>he never even made it to 30 years of Nintendo vidya to see the appeal of a museum
>interview says something completely different to the tweet
Yeah sure. Totally his vision.
It's not like he wasn't the one making brand deals left, right and center back in the day for TV shows, merch, food, movies and so on which funnily enough is what Nintendo is doing now.
Whether you like it or not, Nintendo now is modern Yamauchi. Something iwata hated with a burning passion.

>>717625285
>going out of your way to refuse to capitalize Iwata every time
cultlike, you 100% were posting sad homages to him when he died and the pro-tendie zeitgeist was Iwata love.

>>717578651 (OP)
7 Rebirth and Emerald Beyond were the most fun I had with jrpgs in the past decade. Two games that cared a lot about delivering good battle gameplay in a genre thats been awful about it lately. A shame about sales, but the gaming audience is just too different now and not even in a good way
