Thread 718409729

Will Monolith Soft ever make a game that sells at least 5 million or even a 10 million seller?

Are they forever stuck with limited resources and constrained budget cause their games will forever only sell 1.2 million worldwide?

What the fuck do they need to do?

>>718409729 (OP)
XB3 could have been that game if they didn’t pull back from the XB2 formula.

>>718409729 (OP)
Let the Xenoblade brand rest for a bit and do a new IP.
Xenoblade fans will be there no matter what they come up with.

>Retro Studios titles sell 7 million
>Next Level Games title sells 14 million
>EPD title sells 60 million
>Monolith Soft best sales is 2.7 million

Fucking why

>>718410018
>Let the Xenoblade brand rest for a bit and do a new IP

Hoping it's this. New IP to expand their portfolio and reach a wider audience. Monolithsoft has yet to show they can make a game that doesn't just pull in a niche anime audience though. Feels like they can only make niche games.

>>718410287
Retro and Next Level have taken the easy route and make no original IPs of their own and have sold their soul for safe success by churning out new entries in already popular and highly established Nintendo legacy IPs. Easy sell.

Monolith on the other hand make completely original IPs of their own and success isn't just handed to them. They haven't taken the easy and safe route and sold out by making entries in another companies games.

>>718409729 (OP)
Why does every studio need to make massive sellers? They’re doing fine running support and making their own niche stuff on the side.

The last thing I want is for them to start chasing the normalfag dragon. U love Monolith because they make massive games that appeal to dedicated audiences in an age where that almost NEVER happens.

>>718410287
Monolith games are very different from other Nintendo IPs, mostly being story focused instead of gameplay focused.
JRPGs are inherently niche and more complex for normalfags to get into than platformers or cart racers. Xenoblade doesn't have the mass appeal that Pokemon has.

Also, most hardcore Nintendo fans are allergic to anime.
They also say Xenoblade has too many games because they unironically think Xenoblade and Fire Emblem are the same thing.

>>718411917
>The last thing I want is for them to start chasing the normalfag dragon. U love Monolith because they make massive games that appeal to dedicated audiences in an age where that almost NEVER happens

You can still make RPG that appeals to dedicated audience that sells 6 million. Looks at Elders Scrolls, Witcher 3. Western RPGs that have sold so much.

>>718412161
I can’t think of any JRPG series that went after western normalfags and didn’t suffer for it.

>>718409882
That's a placeholder for Zelda/Link for their work on the open world zelda games. It has nothing to do with a new IP.

>>718412136
Yeah its like a mate of mine who is a Nintendo fan. Loves most things Nintendo (though mostly just Mario and Zelda, plus DK/Metroid, classic Nintendo stuff) but just has no attachment or interest in Xenoblade. Hes completed Definitive Edition back when it released. But has had no interest in 2 and 3 and X:DE. Other people i know who like Nintendo are just silent regarding Xenoblade.

It's weird for a company owned by Nintendo to continue making these large scale RPGs that continue to only sell 1.5 million. Surely they must know the ceiling for Xenoblade in its current state but also must be thinking of ways to sell past that.

Surely Monolith aren't happy with the status quo.

>>718412828
Monolithsoft wasn't bought for their games. Monolithsoft was bought for their technology..

Bump

>>718413183
Nobody really knows the real answer.

Just that Iwata said the games they make is what they want on their platform and the philosophy of Suiguira is the same as theirs.

>>718409729 (OP)
Iwonder how much they seething at Sandfall for selling 4 mil with they first ever game

>>718411662
>Retro and Next Level have taken the easy route and make no original IPs of their own
Retro's hiatus from 2014 until Prime Remastered was specifically because they spent a long time conceiving an original IP which ended up going nowhere, there are leaked videos of early builds of it that you can look up
DK and the odd exceptions like Luigi's Mansion 2&3 notwithstanding, neither studio's output is significantly more of an "easy sell" than Xenoblade either if you go by sales figures

>>718413724
Lately Monolithsoft has been a support studio for various games. They're really good at optimizing games.

>>718409729 (OP)
They need to pull a FF and make games being their own universe, people can't keep up with 5 connected jrpgs

>>718414081
Literally every Xenoblade game takes place in its own universe

>>718412552
>SOON

>>718412828
Monolith must feel like Kamiya with Bayonetta 2 and 3, seething seeing those dmc sales while Bayonetta 2 and 3 get way less sales because it's limited to one platform
I mean Nintendo doesn't even bother to advertise Xenoblade saying FROM THE ONES WHO HELPED CREATE BOTW WORLD

Monolith is a company focusing on raising beginners for gaming industry. I would like to see their work get more recognition but their primary goal is always experimenting new ideas and facilitating Nintendo projects

>>718413821
>Sandfall
I don't think any Japanese developer is seething at E33. It's a niche game there.
On the other hand, if people at Monolith are aware of it, I can see them praising it like Kojima and other westaboo developers did.

>>718413897

So then why does Nintendo keep Retro and Next Level as nothing but vessels for churning Nintendo legacy IPs and Nintendo let's Monolith build a name for themselves through their own original IP they conceived themselves?

Also Retro and Next Level do have an easy ride compared to Monolith. They make games are guaranteed big sellers.

>>718409729 (OP)
>Will Monolith Soft ever make a game that sells at least 5 million or even a 10 million seller?
I hope not. That would mean they'll casualized the games.

>>718409729 (OP)
Its always possible, Nintendo just needs to market them more. Xenoblade X and 3 were barely marketed by Nintendo America and Europe.

>>718413821
>>718414316
The composer of E33's favourite game is Xenoblade, this comparison is meaningless.
Also I noticed that the discord trannies decided to stir away from shitting XB3 on sight to shitposting about sales, how wonderful.

>>718414364
>Nintendo let's Monolith build a name for themselves through their own original IP they conceived themselves?
because monolithsoft are genuine fucking wizards, they are some of the best developers in the industry and their environmental design is completely unmatched
Nintendo writes them a blank check in return for cannibalizing their staff for major first party projects, xenoblade 2 was made basically by a skeleton crew while a huge chunk of monolith was working on botw after Nintendo realized how fucking insanely talented they were after xenoblade X

>>718409729 (OP)
They contributed heavily with botw/totk so I guess yeah

>>718412378
King’s Field to Demon’s Souls is a massive upgrade

>>718414196
Xenoblade on switch sold more than FF7 rebirth and barely less than ff16 despite the enormous budget differences (especially with marketing). Sales are also comparible with p3p/metaphor despite those being multiplat. I think they're fine

>>718414417
Yeah, they really need to advertise the games more. 2 at least had TV ads, but it feels like they really don't care about advertising the games.
Like fuck, XDE was basically shadow dropped. If it reaches a million sales it will be a miracle.

>>718409729 (OP)
F.E.A.R. 4 never

>>718414364
>Nintendo let's Monolith build a name for themselves through their own original IP they conceived themselves?

There is no tetsuya takahashi at Retro or Next Level. There is no guy with that kind of pedigree. Takahashi is the guy who made Xenogears, was involved with some of the most popular and acclaimed RPGs of all time, Nintendo respects his talent and his legacy. There's undoubtedly people at Nintendo who are fans of his work and Monolith's passion for making games.

Who the fuck can you point out at Retro and Next Level who have that kind of legacy?

>>718409729 (OP)
>Xenoblade X sold poorly on the Wii U, a failed console.

>Still sold poorly, couldn’t even make it to 1 million.

Let’s laugh at Elmafags.

>>718409729 (OP)
they made Breath of the wild, a 30 million seller.

>>718414901
If your only comparison is just 2 shit games trapped in some shitty console...
Even p3r and metaphor sold way less than P5.

>>718409729 (OP)
>What the fuck do they need to do?
They're also a support team who have been involved in nearly every open world game Nintendo has released in the past 8 years. Nintendo's acquisition of Monolith Soft is one of the best acquisitions in video game history and no one acknowledges it.

>>718414498
>Also I noticed that the discord trannies decided to stir away from shitting XB3 on sight to shitposting about sales, how wonderful.
Wait, we can talk about games!??!?!?!

>>718415223
>If your only comparison is just 2 shit games trapped in some shitty console...
No i brought up multiple examples. Do I need to compare them with kiseki or something too? Xenoblade is very successful for a true exclusive jrpg series.

>>718409729 (OP)
I think they're incredibly good at making fantasy, fantastical worlds, they just need to lean in on that and they could probably grow a following for a new series. They almost did it with Xenoblade but fucked up with X by making a too-different spinoff rather than a sequel (the Wii U bombing probably didn't help either). Xenoblade 2 showed growth and some recovery but then they fucked up with 3 again. 3 is just super bland and the fucking retards just did a mash-up world of 1 and 2 rather than a new one. Seriously, making amazing worlds to explore is like their #1 strength and then these idiots decide to make the fucking 3rd title in their trilogy by recycling landmarks from the previous 2 and making a mostly empty world dotted with military camps instead of actual cities and settlements. What the actual fuck?

I think they have the talent for a bigger series, but they need to not fuck it up like this. I don't know if Xenoblade can be salvaged at this point. It doesn't have a major fanbase, getting new people to jump into your fucking 5th game in the franchise is hard and the people who are here seem to be deeply divided about the 4 existing games. It's kind of fucked, maybe they'd be better off with a new IP and try to do it right from the start.

>>718416802
Thats why they should make every game independent of each other like ff

>>718416802
Good points. I somewhat agree.

Hope their next game is a fresh start of a something new. I think a clean slate is the best idea. Leave Xenoblade to rest for a bit.

>>718416986
I would love to see that, or at least keep the connections loose like between XC1 and XC2 where they barely touch and you only find out in the ending of XC2.

>>718417376
Even Capcom forgets previous points and is starting to use names over numbers to not scare normies away, and those games are not 60 hours long

>>718415026
For Retro you can kind of point at Tanabe though he's with Nintendo EPD. He's been in charge of every retro game (not counting the canceled one(s) between tropical freeze and prime remastered)

>>718409729 (OP)
>stuck with limited resources and constrained budget
Are you literally braindead?

>>718416802
3 sales being lower are due to being a late switch game vs an early one, tracks with every nintendo sequel on the system

>>718414186
>>718409882
I think the people who desperately want this to be a reality are the same ones who were deeply impressed by that AI vid of walking in pixel fantasy world that no one would shut up about for a couple days

>I think the people who desperately want this to be a realAAAACCCKK
it's real and the fact that both mkworld and bananza started as switch 1 prototypes in the early life of the previous hardware should tell you everything you need to know

>>718414196
>Nintendo doesn't even bother to advertise Xenoblade saying FROM THE ONES WHO HELPED CREATE BOTW WORLD
Nintendo aren’t ones to pull those sorts of stunts since it’s all under the nintendo banner anyway. They weren’t advertising splatoon as “from the makers of animal crossing” or arms as “from the makers of MK8”, hell i’m pretty sure most normies don’t even know of there being different EPD teams

>>718418735
This sounds like desperate cope, the Switch install base grew tremendously in-between 2 and 3. 3 didn't manage to sell because people didn't like it as much and as such didn't buy it.

>>718419839
sales of sequels are generally lower than the first game, tears of the kingdom sold far less than botw and there was a similar pattern with zelda games on previous nintendo consoles

>>718410287
Retro Studio hasn't made a game since 2014. In the same timeframe, Monolith released 3 Xenoblade games, two DLC expansions, 3 remakes/remasters on top of helping with multiple Nintendo big hitters like Zelda, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, etc.

>>718419964
>sales of sequels are generally lower than the first game
Do you even apply any thought to what you're typing? XC2 is their best seller and it's the fucking 3rd game in the franchise, not the 1st. It had no problem selling more than the 2 previous XC games. There are plenty of franchises out there which exploded into major success stories with sequels selling far more than the 1st game. This is in fact quite normal, because it's more difficult for unknown IPs to get big sales numbers than something already established and already well-liked.
>tears of the kingdom sold far less than botw
Wow, Zelda: Recycled Game World sold less, just like Xenoblade: Recycled Game World? How could that be? Could it be people bought the earlier games and then weren't as interested in recycled games selling themselves on the past's greatest hits? If only Monolith had the wisdom to fucking see this before deciding to make XC3 into what it is.

>>718421591
>and it's the fucking 3rd game in the franchise, not the 1st.
I obviously meant sequels on the same hardware, I thought the context would make it clear but I forgot /v/ is now mostly populated by indonesian and brazilian half-monkeys my bad

Hey guys, how's it popping?

>>718421892

Total install base doesn't mean anything if the active userbase falls off which began happening to the switch around late 2021.

Make a good game like XC2, and not a shit game like XC3.

takahashi gets to make whatever kino he wants while the other half of the studio supports nintendo's big releases. it's a sustainable model for them.

>>718424381

So basically Monolith are always struggling with a lack of manpower during development of their games? Nice one Nintendo!

>>718426994
monolith have more than tripled their workforce ever since they were bought by nintendo, are you retarded or one of these buttblasted shitposters seething about nintendo all day every day?

>>718428403
They shouldn't be lacking manpower. Nintendo should funnel them some personnel

>>718409729 (OP)
BotW, TotK, AC New Horizons, Splatoon 3 and MKWorld all sold over 5M

>>718428663
None of those were created by Monolith Soft. They're EPD titles.

>>718428868
On the contrary Monolith Soft are credited on all of them.

>>718428868
They're credited in the creation of all of them

>>718429034
But not as the primary developer like they are for Xenoblade. It's not *their* game in the way a Xenoblade is at all. It was contract work.

You can't divorce Monolith Soft from those games. The the worlds of the Zelda's and MKW clearly draw from Monolith Softs design philosophy

>>718429359
I get that but the games weren't conceived, design documented, and thought up by Monolith Soft. They aren't games that Monolith make. They make JRPGs: Xenosaga, Baten Kaitos, Xenoblade. Those are all Monolith Soft games through and through.

>>718429492
They are the games monolith make

>>718429272
this is moving the goalposts and cope, Monolith soft themselves tell you they were a part of the creation process of these games

>>718409729 (OP)
I'll give em one more sale once I finally get around to playing Xenostuff in my backlog.

>>718429614
Not in the purest sense.

They are the games Monolith assist Nintendo in developing, who is the primary developer of those games. EPD, to be exact. There's also other companies involved in the development of them besides Monolith, too.

Are we gonna call Xenoblade 3 a Graphinica, inc. game because they assisted Monolith with storyboarding, cinematic direction, animation, 3DCG animation and production management? No.

>>718429272
They're more or less co-developers on botw/totk. More monolith staff were on botw than xc2

I know I'm going to get attacked for this but I wish tendies dedicated all their shitposting against FF (the mmo one deserves it though fuck mmos) to shill and support Xenoblade instead

>>718430101
Yeah they were co-developers, absolutely.

But Zelda Botw/Totk wasn't greenlit because a Monolith Soft employee pitched it to Nintendo. It was conceived by EPD.

Blue ocean strategy, it doesn't sell a lot but appeals to a different audience casting a wider net if potential buyers.

yes

>>718412136
>mostly being story focused instead of gameplay focused.
Nah, people who haven't played it like to say that because they're intimidated by the cutscene count but the reality is that makes up an incredibly small portion of the game as a whole where the main appeal is exploration of these wide landscapes with hidden nooks and crannies everywhere.

>>718410287
Fundamental gameplay isn't fun in Xeno games. Lots of people aren't into JRPG combat

Where did I say they weren't involved in the creation of Zelda botw/totk? I haven't said this. I just agreed they co-developed the game.

But you're insane if you ever think the gaming media are ever going to say "Zelda BOTW, developed by Monolith Soft". Lmao.

Zelda is primarily made by the Zelda team at EPD. It's their series.

Best obscure JRPG franchise?

Xeno, Ys, Trails or Tales?

>>718411917
because OP and his little zoombuddies act like they hold stock in these gaming companies, but don't. They don't own stock in anything and maybe that's why they LARP so hard as pretend investors

>>718430440
You wish

>>718432371
Xeno isn't obscure.

>>718430440
I like Xenoblade but nah

>>718433651
He's not wrong. Only 6 and maybe 12 are on par.

>>718433651
Why

>>718432371
my favorite is Ys but I don't think it's obscure anymore

>>718433651
FF always feels like it places a limited on the types of themes it expresses and the depth of its story so that it stays family friendly and appeals to the masses. This is why FF isn't anywhere as interesting to me as a Xeno game is. They feel like they play it too safe.

FF is like the gateway drug to more interesting RPGs.

Just give us side content akin to X, characters as detailed as 2 or 3, and main story as integral to gameplay as 1.

>>718409729 (OP)
>Will Monolith Soft ever make a game that sells at least 5 million or even a 10 million seller?

they already do. they provide extra manpower for nintendo's main AAA titles

>>718435540
Pretty sure if Xenoblade sold 7 or 10 million then it would benefit them in ways much greater than if Nintendo's games they assist on are selling that much mate.

They should re-release Xenosaga I&II

OP is a retard and this thread is worthless trash

>>718435906
It would benefit them the same

>>718437815
Sadly that's Namco Bandai's decision.

Monolith made Breath of the Wild's world using what they learned from making X. Breath of the Wild then created a massive open world trend that inspired an entire console generation. It also notably inspired Genshin Impact, which has led to a Renaissance in gacha shit and/or big titty anime girls from China and Korea.

The last 10 years of video games all descended from Xenoblade. They could sell zero copies and still be worth it for the R&D.

JRPG's for the people who hate JRPG's, that's why your crap doesn't sell.

>make a fully openworld RPG with giant robots that gets posted constantly as what Nintendo consoles are capable of (ie in response to Pokemon graphics, etc), on Wii U
>doesn't even sell a million on Switch when every previous Xenoblade on Switch did

>>718440564
That's called Pokemon

>>718409729 (OP)
Monolith games aren't supposed to be system sellers they're meant to up the prestige of the system so people can see it's home to acclaimed JRPGs even if they themselves don't sell that much. And Monolith is a co-developer on open world Zeldas which Nintendo takes into account when allocating budget for Xeno games. Monolith is safe.
They're in similar situation HAL was with Kirby before Forgotten Land exploded in popularity.

>>718441320
The mmo influence was turned up to 11 for this game. The main story and characters are very weak for series standards (and no, side quests don't make up for that), NLA is literally incomplete, and there's no quests you can do to change that, terrible grind, forced online integration and character customization means the protagonist has no character.

I still think they're working on a new IP that is "targeting the global market" as they said in the original recruitment page and we should see it soon

I still haven't seen any counterargument to the game existing besides the fact it hasn't been shown yet which is meaningless especially now that we know switch 2 launch year games like MKW and DKB started development roughly at the same time as this project

>>718442087
This. For a series praised for its great use of cinematic choreographed cutscenes to deliver an epic story, it falls wide of the mark. The added chapter is more of what people want though (the writing just wasn't it).

JRPG players like Magitek, not Gundam. X could've been successful if Skells looked more like Mechon, Artifices, Levnises, etc.

Why? There's nothing in those games that warrant even 1 million. XB2 only sold 2 million because of all the coomer shit.
Gameplay wise their games are good for "jRPG standards" but really bad overall.
Lore is nice but isn't really that deep, just unnecessarily overconvoluted. And it's also full of inconsistencies and contradictions. None of the worlds they create really makes sense if you think about it, even for fiction standards. And whatever is good about the lore is ruined by the awful shonen/children anime plot delivery. Playing those games feels like if Pokemon anime was set in the world of GitS + Evangelion.
Graphics and music aren't bad but nothing special. The soundtrack is above average I guess.


If Nintendo really wants to make money from Monolith they should just ask them to make some xenogatchashit instead of xenoshit.
That'd probably print money.

>>718442947

It's on a separate recruitment page from their Zelda page. You know this.

Only if they accept being better off with working on more "mainline" Nintendo franchises like they did with Zelda. The true strategy behind hard-catering to weebs like they pivoted towards with XB2 has almost always been quantity of games (or content if gacha) sold, not high quantities of copies per game. They're not as large in numbers but are still painfully easy to milk. MonSoft is still figuring that bit out, and considering they helped with both Zelda Asscreed games, which were 30 mil sellers, I wouldn't count on it.

Didn't happen, you're trolling.

>if Pokemon anime was set in the world of GitS + Evangelion.

The inverse version of this that isn't teenaged retardation sounds like a baller idea that I'm upset isn't a thing.

Nothing good can come of chasing casual and mainstream audiences for money

Stop being such a greedy fag, there's more important things than sales and money

Maybe so but the designs were lamer.

Sorry you had to find out this way but Monolith is dead. WB killed them through chronic mismanagement.
This thread is about Monolith Soft.

>Will Monolith Soft ever make a game that sells at least 5 million or even a 10 million seller?

of course not. gotta do something about the gameplay loop first between the battle system and not loading up their game with fetch quests and they might have something to work with.

>GitS + Evangelion
Those are good inspirations though.

>>718443064
>Playing those games feels like if Pokemon anime was set in the world of GitS + Evangelion.
That sick actually.

This early art looks like a monkeypaw just like Metaphor did, I'm pretty sure they gonna change it to something faggy

>>718409729 (OP)
Maybe if they stop with the uber dogshit braindead auto attack combat system that is worse than WoW at launch in 2004?

>>718456735
Never

bros...i miss endless frontier gang...

What's woth all the anti-Xeniblade spam recently?
Trannies getting uppity.

>>718409729 (OP)
Why would I care? For me, they can just continue making games as is.
But to answer your question, they would need to make it more accessible. An action RPG with anime toned down would do that, but do we want that?
BTW, 7 million is a lot of fucking sales. It would make it one of the biggest games in the world

>>718456314
It's a recruitment poster, just like the one from Metaphor.
In both cases not even a single line of code existed for the game existed when the poster was made.

Their games don't sell because they make the most blatantly worthless coomslop for waifubrained retards. Anyone without autism takes one look at Japanese Humor.webm and swears off the game forever.

But more in-line with Saga/XB1&X designs, you goddamn 2-secondary

Pretty much, Xenoblade is still too animu with barely any memorable scenes
