Remember that you can dislike stuff without making it part of your personality. Report and ignore shitposters that only spam and argue in bad faith.

It's okay, he hates VIIR anyway. He's been trying to rile up Aerisisters against Tifags for a while.

Some people really need to figure out that you can dislike stuff without making it part of your personality. You don't have to go out of your way to remind everyone every time it comes up, and argue with anyone who does like it.

XVI is still shit

Maybe... maybe this all could have been avoided if Tifa had only been just a little bit more attractive.

HE GOT BANNED HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Final Fantasy Versus XIII Reboot soon. Stella Returns soon.

They really missed an opportunity for additional sex here by not giving her leotard armpit windows.

The fix is in. What a farcical joke of a website/board/general.

>>527388685
Finally, some semblance of peace and quiet.

Just how troublesome was the Crystal Tools engine back then?

>>527388702

>>527388832

>>527388843
Yes, now we can return to actual FF discussion.
So, I love playing the black mage in XIV, but I get the impression that in most, if not all others FF, the black mage is not as insanely strong as it is in FFXIV?
If you don't play it, I'm talking... sorta like a one-man artillery piece. Fairly long casting times, deals a LOT of damage, and, in the lore, draws ether from a destroyed reflection to have unlimited MP.

Meanwhile black mages in other games feel more like... well, like in D&D, more like utility support that can adapt to whatever the enemy is weak to.

>>527388878
There is a good reason why most competent Armies leave R&D to external companies that knows what they are doing. Same case here, engine creation is not easy but Square drove themselves into a corner by putting way too many expectations in the project.

>>527388832
There's someone here who usually acts very aggressively condescending towards posters who feel like rules are being unfairly applied to them while not being applied to others. Hopefully he shows up, but somehow I feel that he wont. You can always just "go back" if 4chan isn't your speed.

>>527389002
Mages in single player RPGs are awesome in the middle third of games. In the early game they don't have much MP so you save spells for more powerful enemies / boss fights. And in the end, melee characters tend to have such good equipment / abilities that they can keep pace damage-wise without needing to worry about resource management.

But in the middle section of games, spellcasting / exploiting elemental weaknesses makes mages the kings of damage output. and ethers are common enough that you don't feel the need to horde them.

>>527388832
>dozens and dozens of off topic troll posts
First time? The first three days is always an interesting experience. It used to be two weeks back then.

She exists for Cloud and she knows it

>>527389002
>Yes, now we can return to actual FF discussion.
>So, I love playing the black mage in XIV

>>527389195
I kinda wish FF had more elemental weaknesses. Off the top of my head, when I play a "classical" (aka mainline, pre-XIV) Final Fantasy, roughly... half the monsters are weak to an element. And when they are, playing on said element usually oneshots them, or allow the mage to deal as much damage as the physical classes.
I still have so fond memories of fucking with materias so that Cloud would deal Fire damage while attacking. He'd oneshot the local monsters, easy money.

>>527389002
Can you beat FFI solely with only thunder spells? I want to emulate an MTG Red magic crayon eater.

>>527389123
There are a lot to choose from but my favourite /ffg/ schizo meltdown is still the guy who got BTFO for breaking the rules - and he couldn't deny that he was breaking the rules - but he was still furious because he felt breaking the rules was justified because he was doing it to attack a "shitposter" who WASN'T breaking rules but who WAS saying things he didn't like about FF.
Just the most delusional shit I've ever seen.
>it's not fair that I'm banned for blatantly breaking the rules over and over
>it's him who should be banned for posting about FF in a way I don't like

>>527389221
That filfthy maggot just evaded his ban.

>>527389002
>If you don't play it, I'm talking... sorta like a one-man artillery piece. Fairly long casting times
BLMs have fast cast times now.

As far as capturing the bad ass mage fantasy, the first game that comes to mind is Dragon's Dogma. The mages in that game really feel like mages with giant fuckyou spells, but playing a mage yourself is kinda shit since the cast times are long and the enemy AI targets the player. It's best to leave mages to your pawns, or if you play a mage you basically only used the regular attack that works kinda like homing soul missile from Dark Souls. There's also 7th Saga, an Enix game, where Esuna is one of the best characters. She's a mage and you can kinda have infinite MP by using the MP drain spell. I feel like there's a game or two that I'm not thinking of right now that also lets you "feel" like a mage.

Final Fantasy generally doesn't capture the "mage" fantasy imo, because all you're doing most of the time is selecting a differently colored particle effect animation to appear on your screen.

>>527389571
Oh, we might see the rise of another legend the size of smileyfag.

... God have mercy on us all.

>>527389221
>back then.
Back in my day, you couldn't even browse 4chan anymore if you were banned.

>>527389494
I have no idea, but honestly, I'd doubt it. Robots and water-based enemies are weak to water, and in FFI, I think that's only... Tiamat? Shit, I don't remember.

>>527389661
Heh, I almost prefer Sacrifice to Dragon Dogma.
But you're right, to a degree. I think Stranger of Paradise nicely replicated the strength of magic spells, but the problem is that it's an action RPG, so it's not meant for you to sit on your hands and chug ethers. I think I vaguely remember another game, but the name eludes me, where you can use different elements, and they all have additional effects, but only if the target is weak to it. Can't remember what it is. And honestly can't even remember if it was an action RPG game or a RTS...

>>527389772
They still do it if you piss off boards with more powerful mods. I think Mihoslop generals have mods who will execute you out in public if you post porn in their general. The jannies and mods do not really care for this place compared to the sheer activity other generals get.

>>527389571
Mad as fuck that you're not White, huh? Mad that you're not the only person in /ffg/ who ignores the garbage moderators?
That must be why you spam the same buzzwords every single day even when Im asleep. White and White adjacent people have a little bit more complexity and nuance to their thought patterns. It comes with the territory of developing advanced, high trust societies and physical hygiene.

What lesson can we surmise and apply to avoid a repeat of last thread?

>>527389827
>where you can use different elements, and they all have additional effects
FF15. Mix random items with magic in your reusable pokeballs and they give all sorts of different effects. At least until you get access to Cup Noodle, which gives every spell a max health cure, and you never use anything else ever again.

>>527390015
No, no, it was another game. FFXV has your grenade deal damage based on what essence you pour in + the reagent (antidote is OP).
I'm thinking of something else where dealing fire damage adds a DoT, and I think... ice slows down, and thunder... I think thunder drains MP?

>>527390005
>what lesson can we surmise
That we are doomed to this eternal cycle of conflict
>lesson to apply to avoid all repeat of last thread?
That Garland was right in that enjoying the cycle is the only way to truly cope with such.

>Eve caused a day-long meltdown for being more attractive than Tifa
>first a regular temper tantrum, then a normal deflection to Aerith and XVI
>but after that, people started shitposting even the first 6 FF games as well as discussing how *nothing* should be in the OP, lest it trigger someone
>now the Lightning avatarfag is going on a racist shitposting rant because he finally got punished for breaking the rules
Will there be long term effects of this on /ffg/, or is this a more transient meltdown?

>>527390005
Stop spamming off topic shit. Stop spamming Eve. Post Final Fantasy.

Is someone has nothing positive to say about a Final Fantasy title every time they open this general, they should go find something else to talk about.

>>527390208
What you think is the downfall of /ffg/ is just another Tuesday for us.
We survived Barry and Oneguy. We can survive anything short of another Sharty oopsie.

>>527390338
be gentle, he's actually from /xivg/. He thinks he's special.

>>527390376
Not the first. Coffee? Ignis made me fall in love with coffee while camping again.

Lightningfag on suicide watch about that public disavowal from last thread.

>>527390338
XVkun is honestly a nothingburger, and we had way more people back during the gacha days. This is something, I just don't know how much of something it is.

>>527390376
What?

>>527390512
It's just the Lighningfag malding and trying to badmouth people it doesn't like. It always does that, it mixes up several posters, and then acts like he has a superior moral ground.
Truly fatherless behaviour.

Part 3 will be the halfway point, yeah? 2027 or 2028 ish? No gachas in the meantime either. Things are not looking good for our heroes.

>>527388530 (OP)
Square Enix should make a Star Wars game.

>>527391291
Lucas Arts should make a Monkey Island game.

>>527391121
>2027 or 2028 ish?
Could you stop dooming for five minutes?
They already have the hard work done with Remake. Part 2 will be out no later than Q4 2022, and by then they'll have so many assets built up that the wait for Part 3 will be even shorter.
The whole trilogy will be done by 2023, or if you want to be pessimistic: 2024/Early 2025.

>>527391858
what r eddit post did you copy this from ha ha

>>527391339
Sea of Thieves has a Monkey Island gamemode. It also has better fishing than any game, except FFXV.

In retrospect a lot of the people I called doomers turned out to be right

>>527392302
Is there any possibility that maybe the doomers were the true fans the whole time?

Played the pixel remasters back to back and the muscle memory is hard to shake.

OG7 with Ninostyle (non-chibi) is so fucking pretty. I love it.

>>527392495
I don't know if I'd go that far, but I will concede they might have been more open to other possibilities than I was. I think I was just so insecure and overdefensive that I saw their posts as "doomer" shitposts instead of seeing them as other fans keeping an open mind about how long the 7R project might take, or if certain plot elements might play out differently to how I expected.

>>527392815
>non-chibi VII
false flag

>>527392839
I still think it's funny that they
>1) created Whispers
>2) shoved them in your face a decent amount
>3) did things like kill Barret just to demonstrate their power
...all for people to just say "welp, they're gone guys, that was just a one time thing, we killed them, they're not coming back, you're a doomer who didn't play the game if you say otherwise"

>>527392953

>>527393161
Claiming the whispers might return in part 2 is no different to saying you want SE to go bankrupt. Well sorry to be the one to tell you this little troll but neither is going to happen.

>>527423509
Why are you talking about Remake shit? I'm talking about Reno acting like an ass in the original game after pushing the button to cause the sector seven plate to fall, but Tifa treats him like him like old buddy over the phone like 10 minutes into the film.

>>527423509
that's a complaint about advent children events lil bro.

>>527425310

Only newfags don't know, and we both know you're not a newfag, which means you're just pretending, and why would anyone pretend they didn't know?

>>527426408

I think Rebirth has easily one of the best soundtracks in any form of media ever, it's such a shame Stellar Blade came out the same year because any other year it would have easily won the best soundtrack. (Other than XVI, Remake and Nier, any other year Stellar Blade easy win.)

I think you should focus on the guy badmouthing advent children. By focusing on me you're going to let him get away with it.

>>527426605
Yeah, you're right. Nikke too. And I think E33 will win it this year, so I think Stellar Blade might have been kinda fucked if it came out this year too. Rebirth's OST is good, of course, one of the best... but it's riding on the laurels of a soundtrack that already existed. Stellar Blade and E33 both have ORIGINAL soundtracks that haven't been done already. There are a lot of new tracks in Rebirth as well, (Bow wowow bow wowow) but it sorta feels a bit unfair to the other games that it won imo.

>>527426941

Don't worry anon, awards only matter sometimes

>>527426959
Tachy mode and the Belial theme are both incredible, and I agree to a degree that Rebirth has legacy helping it out, but then again, the Don Corneo rap and piano versions (I like the piano minigame, shoot me) tip it for me. Haven't played E33, I'm working through the old FF games atm.

One of us is a ban evading shitposting avatarfag who refuses to serve his ban while insisting that other ban evading shitposters to serve their bans. When you've got people like, things can never be peaceful. Notice how peaceful it was until the ban evading shitposter started posting.

All it took was someone pointing out a valid inconsistency in the Final Fantasy VII canon to set him off. And now he'll be melting down about Aerith and XVI and the OP for another 18 hours, just like yesterday. Let's hope no one talks about Eve today.

>>527427945
>valid inconsistency in the Final Fantasy VII canon
Nothing a couple of hours of youtube theorycrafting can't fix. Look at the miracles that have been done for VIII over the years.

>>527428234
Well, I'm not expert on Final Fantasy VII lore, but if you ask me it's somewhat obvious. Tifa and Reno have a history. He obviously likes Tifa, but for everything to just be forgiven or at left unacknowledged betrays a fondness for Reno as well.

>>527428430
I see... so Tifa is the key to all this...
We might have underestimated her importance

>>527412897
What a fucking hypocrit. I think he'd serve his ban.

>>527428719
If we start theorizing that the inconsistencies or oversights or contrivances in the narrative are actually purposeful, it starts to make Tifa look like a bit of a nefarious Machiavellian mastermind.

>Don't let her fool you Cloud, /ffg/ is the best place to talk about FF.

Such as?

>>527429058
Not him, but I've personally accepted R=U as canon, and the only person who has ever said otherwise didn't write the story.

I posted it here before (though I didn't save the link or a screenshot), but an interview Q&A type deal somewhat had Kitase say, about R=U, that he takes what he said previously back. When originally asked the question that people like to cite, he said "no" because that's not how he personally viewed it, but after some deliberation, he realized that it could in fact be true. Moreover, he did not write that part of the script; that part of the script had gone back and forth between everyone, writing, rewriting, editing, etc and it could have been the original intention of Nojima (the credited writer) for R=U, but that this wasn't communicated to the rest of the people handling the script, and so Kitase didn't "get the memo" so-to-speak and had previously discredited this theory.

>>527429058

Urgh. I hate this theory and I find it so silly, downright ridiculous. I hoped you'd name a different one.
Also I find it more belieable that Ultramecia is a descendant of Linoa than her directly.

>>527429613
Allright. What about Irvine and Linoa? Everyone else comes from Balamb so it makes sense for them to use Guardian Forces instead of magic, but these twos are adults and are used to fighting, but somehow are completely dead weight until you get them a GF.

All SeeDs have Quezacotl, Shive and Ifrit, giving them the Mag-J, Spr-J and Str-J junctions by default.

Because it's spelled correctly in 14, so I assumed he was referencing that game.

>>527432096
>I have anxiety so I understand paranoia
>deflection to flat earthers of all things
Anon, you started sperging out about your XIV enemy because the naming of a real life mythological beast was shortened due to character length limitations in Final Fantasy VIII. It's even still "Quetzacoatl" in Japanese. You need to serve your ban.

I like how we managed to have "find the shitposter" detective drama out of a polite inoffensive conversation that ended with the guy apologizing for his mistake.

>>527432549
There's like 6 people dumb enough to come here in the first place and every one of them thinks they're a mastermind for spotting the same guy who was making fun of them in the exact same way one day previous

>>527432404
I like 14, fuck are you talking about?

>>527432549
>I like how we managed to have "find the shitposter" detective drama out of a polite inoffensive conversation

Here's how a "polite inoffensive" conversation would have gone:
>"All SeeDs have Quezacotl"
>Quetzacoatl, you fucking eejit.
>"Actually, in VIII it was shortened to fit inside the character limit, so while you are correct and that's the real name, I am also technically correct"

Instead we started melting about XIV for some reason.

>>527432549
I really like the choice of "melting down" (saying XIVkun) to give the illusion of the conversation being far more vitriolic than it was and keep the argument going that way. You can tell he's an expert.

Uh oh, I believe we're now engaging in reverse "find the shitposter" drama after being the first ones to bogeyman post...

>>527433372
As long as we're fighting, nobody is praising a non-Tifa game. So maybe it's for the best.

The proper term is Mexica. "Aztec" is how they were named, but not how they called themselves. Similar to Navajos being called such while they call themselves Shuars. While navajo means something akin to "that cunt over there".

Here's the thing. Are you guys ready for a truthpill the likes of which you might've never seen?

The reality is that /vg/ should be "/live service general/", not "/video game general/". Small exceptions can be made, for example the "2d hentai general" is a collective of a bunch of games that are constantly releasing (similar to live service) but each game on its own is not really deserving of an individual thread. The Fighting Game General is another; it's a collection of games that are constantly being played (in many cases, but not all, they are live service) or being patched. Bottom line is that "/vg/" should be dedicated only to games or genres or subjects that are consistently releasing content or are constantly being patched or are otherwise some sort of live service. It's for "evergreen" video game related thread topics. That's why /ffg/ made sense and was somehow less schizo when it was a gacha general.

Ideally, and this will never happen, but ideally /v/ should be for more transient video game threads, like how it sometimes happens now, where there will be "general" type threads for a video game that just recently released, but it is something like a single player game and does not warrant and can probably not even sustain an "evergreen" type thread, so they exist on /v/ as flash-in-the-pan type threads on release, and then disappear except for occasionally when some new person plays the game and wants to create a thread about it. Unfortunately, /v/ is just /b/ but with video games, so this cannot actually happen due to moderator curated "thread culture". Current /v/ is like /pol/+/b/ with everyone dancing around the topic of video games.

/vmg/ kinda shouldn't even really exist, but there are less popular mobile titles that would get pushed off my theoretical /vg/, so it serves its purpose still.

>>527465116
A lot of sperging out for lies spread by hoemad trOOns who cannot accept reality.

I read your whole bullshit post and regret it

That's it. Everything you said about how it should be is hysterical nonsense.

>>527465407

>>527465850
>Everything you said about how it should be is hysterical nonsense.
It's not. When you have a series like Final Fantasy that does not get consistent video game releases, you end up with a den of schizos at each other's throats because there is nothing to talk about and no reason to congregate except for out of habit, and all it takes is one single schizo/shitposter to completely poison the well.

>>527466114
This general is like that, but I'm scrolling through the catalog and see

Just because FF is the worst general on /vg/ doesn't mean that other non-live service generals based around video game series that never get updates aren't also schizo dens, they're just more amiable schizos. There's no reason to maintain a general thread for a game whose last release or update was 2+ years ago. Ideally, anyone playing the game for the first time would make a thread on /v/ to talk about it and like minded people would join, but /v/ is currently /b/ and /pol/ rather than video games. The average /v/ thread should not be on /v/ but rather a /vbpol/ type board, since that's what it is. You could even just have a "Steam charts, sales faggotry, review shitposting, and Twitter screencaps" board for /v/... but that's what current /v/ is.

>>527469495

Are you mad about it? What else would you have me do? I know how arguments here go if you don't individually reply to every single line while also restating your entire argument every single new post.

>The website should not cater to the wishes/needs of it's lowest shittest general.
I didn't say that it should. /ffg/ being the worst is just a symptom of a larger problem, which I outlined and provided a solution for.

>They should prune ffg before taking your terrible advice
/ffg/ should definitely be pruned, that's not even a question. Following my outline would provide a better and more usable website for the people who actually want to engage in conversation that the boards are named after. Having an entire board named "video games" but it's mostly just ragebait pol threads is incredibly misleading and frankly a waste and misuse of space, but that's exactly what they want it to be.

>>527470126
>someone from /owg/ got aids on purpose iirc, I've seen dumber shit go down.
...why?

>>527470274
>>527470543
There is always a worse general.

>>527470445
Being upset about the state of /v/ is not controversial, no one likes it.
But this board is basically being used as intended, with a few outliers of really terrible generals.
>>527471019
That's insane.
But having 7 video game boards is insane, splitting boards has always been met with mixed results.

If you want more moderation reddit is right there

>>527471428
>Being upset about the state of /v/ is not controversial, no one likes it.
Then I don't see what the issue with what I'm saying is.

>But this board is basically being used as intended, with a few outliers of really terrible generals.
Well, this board is also predominantly live service games or is about a topic that receives consistent updates or new content, or at the very least has a live service game component to it, similar to how /ffg/ did when it used to be a gacha thread. I'll rest my case here. I'd just be talking in circles if I continued.

>all it takes is one single schizo/shitposter to completely poison the well
Let's not pretend there is only one.
And let's also not pretend that the people whose posts are 99% of the time about exposing shitposters aren't shitposters themselves.

Even if you're an anti-shitposter or shitposter exposer, you're still a shitposter if the majority of your posts aren't about final fantasy. Keep in mind, one of our shittest residents is a ban evader who is a "good guy" fighting shitposters.

Bottom line, call out retards if you must, but if you're not actively engaging in any kind of FF discussion you're no better than that "one" schizo poisoning the well.

So did Expedition 33 truly put the stave into Squares chest?

>>527493342

>>527498727
>anon felt personally called out by that line and chose to do a no u
Epic. Anyway, I didn't say there was only one. I said "it only takes one to completely poison the well". All it takes, for example, is one BEape to constantly shitpost about OO in order for OOfags to begin retaliating. All it takes is one VIIRgin or WoWfag constantly shitposting about XIV/XVI/Yoshida for cultists to begin shitting on VIIR or XV to start saying that XVI was 10/10 without ever actually discussing it anymore. All it takes is one really obnoxious person avatarfagging while leveraging a previously disparaged FF entry exclusively as a means to shitpost about the newest entry before people start shitposting the game and character he is shitposting with. You get the picture. This "one" person can even carry forward "generationally", such that ramifications of his well poisoning are felt even after his departure, thus further poisoning the well for others who are now removed from the inciting situation.

>Keep in mind, one of our shittest residents is a ban evader who is a "good guy" fighting shitposters.
It is pretty funny that he finally got banned and immediately ban evaded even after constantly hounding other people for ban evading or "ban evading"

See, you're dong a no u again. I said "one" and you got triggered because you thought I meant (You) specifically, too triggered to realize that it was a qualifying statement of there only needing to be one.

(You), on the other hand, specifically said "you" multiple times while replying to and addressing me. You're being a weasel on purpose.

>>527516808
>you thought I meant (You) specifically
No I didn't. I don't poison the well at all.

Yeah, starting to think you're one of the guys I'm talking about who does 100 posts about shitposters a day and never talks about final fantasy, but you tell yourself you're not a shitposter because you're one of the "good guys" defending us from shitposters. But what's the point if you don't talk about FF?

Ban evading avatarfag Anon, look at this. I'll demonstrate for you:

>>527466114
>all it takes is one single schizo/shitposter to completely poison the well.
This is a qualifying statement. First off, /ffg/'s well has long been poisoned. Second, it's not referring to any one singular person, it's saying that there only needs to be at least one and does not even imply that there is only one person like this, and by the very nature of "well poisoning", this "one" turns into many. You thought I meant (You) specifically, when I truly had no single person in mind, yet you became triggered, started doing a no u, and doubled down with another no u. It's pathetic. Just admit that you misunderstood and got triggered and that you're ban evading and that you're now blatantly referring to yourself in the third person even more than you had done previously.

>>527498727
>Let's not pretend there is only one.
The post you are replying to doesn't even imply it's one person, just that it takes only one person. You got triggered.
>Bottom line, call out retards if you must, but if you're not actively engaging in any kind of FF discussion you're no better than that "one" schizo poisoning the well.
Here is where you say "you" while replying to and addressing me specifically, while also referencing this "one" statement that you first off misinterpreted, and second off got triggered by because you thought it was referring to specifically (You). If you agreed with me about the original statement, which if you weren't so triggered it would sound like you do, then there was no reason to reply to me or to misinterpret the use of "one".

>>527518503
Yeah yeah I'm sure whatever you wrote was interesting and all but wouldn't you rather talk about final fantasy? That's why we hate shitposters after all. And since nobody is here other than us and we both hate shitposters maybe we could talk about it?

If you could apply the FFX-2 battle system to any other FF, which would you choose? And remember, that means it doesn't just get the battle system, but the characters would all get lots of new outfits too.

>>527519131
>Yeah yeah
I accept your concession, (You) ban evading, triggered, samefagging, self-masturbatory, and "no u" shitposter.

>If you could apply the FFX-2 battle system to any other FF, which would you choose?
I don't really think in this way. I like and appreciate each game for what it is. I like X-2 battle system, but I like the battle systems of the other games as well. You also can't just throw X-2's battle system into a game like that because the "outfits" are classes, and some games don't have classes while others still allow you to essentially create your own class with that game's gimmick system. The only other games it would even fit into are I, III, and V.

>>527519961

Why is IX getting a remake/remaster before VIII? VIII sold more and would benefit the most from the junction system getting looked at again, story is also better. Is it because with IX they can just slap a new coat of paint on it and sell it for full price?

You could try opening from the .exe itself. That's a similar issue to what's fucked about WoFF though I don't know if it's the same. I do have Type-0 on Steam, but I've never actually installed it because I played it on PS4 and haven't felt like replaying it.

>>527529161
Actually the sales numbers that are being thrown around show a wide swath of sales for anyone smart enough to hit launch, Cyberpunk and BD both are estimated to hit over 500k with every game except Sonic to be somewhere between 400k-100k

I've given up on the launcher after the second crash. It seems to be a problem with the movie files that don't like Windows 10, but no one knows *why* that is (apparently, this one is Microsoft's fault?). I can actually play it by removing the movie folder, but I don't really want to check every 5 minutes if I missed a cutscene.
At the very least, the PSP version was patched, so I'll just play that instead. But still, what a mess.

[Good News] Switch 2 was found to not be able to run FFXVI

>>527572803

>>527572946
But we know Rebirth is coming.

>>527572946
Grim indeed.

>>527572803
Probably can, we know Nintendo turned it down though for Remake

Rebirth could have used more rare and interesting accessories.

>>527574312
Downgraded for $20 more digital only

>>527574312
>XVI was turned down for Remake
many such cases

>>527574312
>Probably can
Not really, otherwise it would have been dropped along with Xbox's port.

>>527576952
If you google it, people are comparing how Rebirth runs on the Steam deck to how XVI runs on the Steam deck and are coming to the conclusion that XVI cannot run on the Switch 2 without significant work. Like I speculated previously and like the shitposters ignored, it's probably much easier to work with and port UE than it is to work with and port a heavily modded in-house engine.

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Final-Fantasy-16-Xbox-sales-are-struggling-after-Microsoft-and-Square-Enix-skip-Game-Pass.1036890.0.html
So apparently XVI is breaking unprecedented grounds and flopping for a third time.

>>527579214
Obsessed.

>>527579280
I would hope so, since this is the final fantasy thread

>>527579571
You need to realize eventually that hating obsessively a game isn't a personality.

hello ESL-chan.
You meant to say "obsessively hating a game". Hope this helps and I hope you keep up with those English classes!

>>527579280
So are you gonna talk about Final Fantasy? Because I am.XVI is, once again, underperforming.

XVI pocket edition when

/ourguy/ is on the case.

>>527585338
I've still never seen any evidence whatsoever that he is actually /ourguy/

>>527577148
Steam deck is weaker than Switch 2

>>527587613
If you'd actually google what people are saying about it, the consensus also seems to be that a docked Switch 2 is slightly more powerful than a Steam deck but that XVI still likely would not run on a Switch 2 because apparently it only gets like 15fps on the Steam deck. The Switch 2 is not that much more powerful than a Steam deck.

>>527587613
Cyberpunk running much better on Switch doesn’t mean anything
Evidence isn’t proof

>>527587805
Devs are calling it closer to Series S but with DLSS instead of FSR/PSSR
While Steam Deck is below PS4

>>527588173
I'm just going by what I read on places that aren't solely dedicated to shitposting about XIV and XVI. I don't have a Steam deck and I'm not stupid enough to own a Switch 2. The conversations I read also seem to be along the lines of my intuitive thought process that UE is probably much easier to port, work with, and optimize than a heavily modded in-house engine based on an already heavily modded in-house engine.

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying that it would likely require a lot of work to get it to run on a Switch 2 at a steady 30fps.

>>527588408
>I'm just going by what I read on places that aren't solely dedicated to shitposting about XIV and XVI
So clearly not /ffg/.

>>527588408
I’m going off reports form companies like Koei, CDPR, and Capcom
Porting to Unreal is such a waste of time for performance on a game that needs to make returns anyway.
Literally the only hurtle they have is the fact Switch is ARM based which is barely an issue in modern day. Regardless they’re going to have to port the engine anyway since they made it pretty clear they want XIV ported at some point

>>527588478
Not 4chan, correct. It was the current conversation that /ffg/ was having so I googled "XVI switch" and read people's thoughts, which seemed to mirror my own intuitive thoughts based on what I know of the hardware and the software.

>>527588682
Most XVI switch conversations are going to be mired by people who are still upset it’s not exclusive anymore
Hell those people were the same ones saying the PS5s SSD was the only way the game could run

>>527588881
>Most XVI switch conversations are going to be mired by people who are still upset it’s not exclusive anymore
What? Why do you think that what you're saying even makes sense? People are comparing XVI on Steam deck to Switch, not XIV on PS5. No one ever said anything about SSDs except shitposters. Your comments are why I had to search elsewhere for genuine thoughts on the subject.

No one said anything about porting XVI to UE either, btw. Remake and Rebirth are UE, so the engine comparison was relevant.

>>527589183
Square Enix was the ones who claim the game was only possible on PS5

>>527589360
Well, that's not what was said, but now you're moving goalposts because all you want to do is shitpost and facts are being used in this conversation.

I wont be responding to you anymore because it has become clearer than it already was that you are purposely shitposting in extremely bad faith.

What a stupid thread, yes Switch could run 16.
No Steam Deck doesn’t prove anything since it’s a PC, a Linux PC at that.

>>527581175
Nah, its only her redeeming quality but for me, a good pits should also have a pair of good tits, it goes in tandem

I enjoyed XVI, don't know why Square wasted time porting it to Xbox though.

>>527593710
Didn't Xbox sign a deal with them or something? I remember there being a big thing with 14 being announced at some event or show.

>>527593710
Square Enix made a deal with them years ago iirc

>>527593836
XIV sold like dogshit on Xbox IIRC, if it isn't on game pass, Xbox owners don't care. Fuck me I bet getting XVI to run on series S was torture. 8gb of RAM.

xvi won

>>527593836
Was the deal made before Kiryu, or was it his idea?

>>527594215

Yup. 14 hours of playing Other Games™. YoshiP really knows his audience. I'm so happy FFXIV respects my time and gives me a break instead of bogging me down with daily quests and checklists like some other games.
And the best part? The lodestone roulette of course. It's fun to flood the thread with images of our WoLs while our friends glaze us. I think this one will turn out to be the biggest yet considering it's in the middle of the day. What a great opportunity to join together as a community and enjoy FFXIV together.
Thank you YoshiP. Thank you for giving us Dawntrail, a game packed with content and memories that over 30 million active players around the world enjoy every single day, especially when they aren't playing the game.

When people post in the Final Fantasy General to shitpost about Final Fantasy, I have to wonder if something set them off, like maybe a post somewhere else upset them or maybe even a post a day or even years ago upset them, or if this is just how they permanently are and they are constantly internally seething about FF.

Ill take /ffg/ over any other general, specially persona general

Basically because persona general is literally, unironically just "my wife ______" posts and thats it, thats the entire discussion

>>527650239
Nomura is going to unbutton Yuffie's pants and remove her belt in addition to giving Cid back his cigarette.

There is a non-zero chance that Vincent could come out of Part 3 as a winner due to the DEI changes afoot at SE. I count this as a positive.

First off, actually, it's a shader not a filter. It's a complex GPU program that alters the output itself, it's not just overlayed on top.

crt-royale-ntsc in Retroarch

>>527656821
All of that... just to play a game.

>>527642974
LRPS2 core in Retroarch does

It's an up to date fork of PCSX2 and even better because it has ParaLLEl-GS.

>>527656943
Enabling a shader in Retroarch isn't exactly rocket science, it's a few clicks (or button presses, because it can be controlled fully with a controller)

Retroarch unifies emulators under one design and frontend. Imagine trying to update, configure, and maintain like 20 different individual emulators, all of which lack features Retroarch has for every emulator.

FFVII has sold over 15 million units
>First released in 1997 on the PlayStation® computer entertainment system, FINAL FANTASY VII celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2022. The game is universally regarded as a hallmark title of the RPG genre. The original title received high praise for its epic storyline, unique characters, and movie sequences that utilized the most cutting-edge technology of the time. Since then, the game revolving around iconic hero, Cloud Strife and his pursuit of the antagonist Sephiroth has sold over 15.1 million copies worldwide and continues to receive widespread acclaim from critics and fans around the world.
FFVII Remake has sold over 7 million
>FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE is the expanded edition of the first entry in the FINAL FANTASY VII remake project and includes an additional story arc that takes place during the game’s events.

>>527665068
>It really put in prescriptive how hugely successful XV was
I think this actually points to xv killing the franchise moreso than xvi.
Xv launching half finished with a dogshit half story, and being memed on was bad for the brand.
And then movie action game yawn, why would you bother going out on a limb for that when the last one was so mid.
And the one before that(13) was panned for hallways too (and what was up with those sequels no one asked for?)
It's been a failure snowball

Sure, pal. Whatever makes you happy.

>>527665572

>>527656821
>>527658047
Oh sp retroarch crt royal works on mac? Damn that sounds great actually

>>527665572
Any truer Final Fantasy fan knows that XV not being Versus XIII is what "killed" the franchise. It isn't dead, of course, but XV was the single most disappointing gaming related experience I've ever had.

Maybe XV isn't even bad, but everyone thought it was going to be Versus XIII, and it wasn't, and that's how it was judged.

>>527665846
If they could have taken all the copies of 13 and 15 away and fixed them like they fixed 14 I bet they would have.
instead they fixed 13 with sequels, and 15 with dlc and supplementary plot media
Xvi, I don't think they can really do anything with it
>>527663162
Asano will scale back ff17 and make a nice big budget actual jrpg

>>527666908
That's true enough.
Even xvi being boring wasn't as disappointing as fabula nova being a lie and xv being so incomplete on launch.

>>527666908
They were so "disappointed" that they kept buying the game until it reached over 10m to show how "disappointed" they were. I'm pretty sure that SE wish their recent big FF game were as "disappointed" as XV was.

>>527668362
Sales does not mean it's a good game. Or, well, once again, maybe it's not a bad game, but it's definitely not Versus XIII. I bought the game 4 times, with 2 of those being collector's editions. Versus XIII's decade long hype is what sold XV.

OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO

>>527668559
It actually matter to show how interested people are in the game. XV kept selling well even long after the release which is a proof enough that people liked what they have seen of it.

>>527669803
I know you're just a faggoty shitposter, but it's weird people have completely forgotten about Remake running like dogshit unless you fucked with the ini or ran it in DX 11 mode IIRC. Regardless. Rebirth is 9/10 game. Shader compilation stutter shouldn't happen in 2025, ran locked 60 with 0 frame time issues or stutters on my ps5 pro. Still prefer the PC version, get 100fps DLAA 4K with upscaled textures and draw distance increase mods.

I will discuss whatever I want here and you have no right to complain about it.

>>527668362
Disgusting post. You should know sales only matter when it makes Rebirth look good.

>>527669803
Oh I guess you didn't know, but these steam reviews are in the "don't matter" category. My associate >>527670230 can explain.
And you might be thinking, wow, does that mean all negative feedback the games have received on steam is invalid?
The answer is yes.

>>527670464
>"don't matter"
How did you read that post and arrive at this conclusion?

>>527670318
Correct. That's why we never talk about Rebirth's sales and deflect everything to XVI. If we are constantly on the offensive and use all sales new to shitpost about XVI first, then we can say "no u" if Rebirth is brought up. It's worked for over a year so far.

>>527670592
Ma'am, please. I know you're keen to find some valid criticism of the remake trilogy but steam user scores are not the place to find them. The search goes on.

Final fantasy 7 remake games look very well made, but I hate cloud and aeris and tifa and sephiroth and I'm tired of their overused faces. It really sucks cause the games are probably the best SE and especially FF have ATM, but I cannot force myself to give a single fuck.
Its unfortunate, for me, that they decided to spend so much time and money on rehashing their most-milked property. Those guys could have made an actual new FF game, and instead we got..........xvi made by MMO devs........

>>527671735
>good games sell
>bad games dont
makes sense why forspoken sold so poorly it killed its studio.

XV is gay.

>>527669803
There are several reasons why a game can have a bad rating. Sometimes the port is poor. Sometimes the developer does something controversial (in monetization, political, etc.) and the game gets review bombed as a result. Sometimes none of the above are true and the game is just bad. In the case of Rebirth, its the case that the port is bad.
Remake had the advantage of releasing on EGS before it released on Steam. That allowed SE to work out the kinks of their dogshit port before they got it out on Steam, which results in the Steam version being rated fairly highly on Steam.
Rebirth on the other hard? Bad port from day one, and the rating will always carry the scars of that.
If SE is serious about day one PC releases, they need to get their god damn shit together when it comes to their PC ports, because its never gonna succeed while they continue to halfass the version of their game with the most sales potential.

>>527671849

The md5 of this meme I made during the Ever Crisis beta used to makes (one of) the sales shitposter(s) here very upset for some reason. I wonder if he's made peace with it yet. We used to not care about sales at all, but I can see from the recent posts in this thread that we now care very very much about sales once again. We once again care more about a game's sales than the game itself, even though I was told that this was never the case.

I think we can all rejoice in the fact that it seems apparent that we will never get official Square Enix sales figures for Rebirth. Instead, at this point, it seems much more likely that any subsequent sales updates we get will be for the total sales of the Remake Trilogy as a whole and that we may never receive any sales data for Rebirth itself.

Additionally, you've called me the pet name you have for your Reddit enemy who made fun of Remake's ending literally dozens upon dozens of times over the years, which naturally is untrue and unfounded, so I have additional reason to doubt your frankly schizophrenic claims.

But dude he posted on reddit to say it was him and that he'll be shitposting on 4chan forever as revenge. That might have looked like the most transparent falseflag of all time, but it wasn't, he was just being very honest. The real mystery is why was his reddit account full of edgy /pol/ racism but his 4chan posts aren't? And why is he so open about his master plan and criticisms of the game there but unwilling to admit that it's him on this website, and why does he so often talk positively about the remake games if shitting on them angrily is the master plan? And while we're at it, what about the dozen other accounts that are his? None of them line up. And why did someone spend years trying to track him down if they already had "his" reddit account?
If detective joe were here he might conclude that the reddit account was a very obvious falseflag, and all the other accounts were his attempts to try and find his actual 4chan bully. Over the years he seems to have made a lot of accusations. You are just one of many.

Remember when the T-1000 screamed as it thrashed around in the molten steel, cycling through all the people it had mimicked? It's something like that.

>>527676836
Versus XIII was the single most important part of XV's reception, at least to Final Fantasy fans anyway. SE spent a decade hyping it up without really communicating that by the time it launched it was something else entirely made by a completely different person. I got all of the "holy shit look how cool Versus XII is!" memos that SE put out, but I somehow never got the "Versus XIII is kill, buy the movie, buy the DLCs" memo until I had already preordered the game multiple times so that I could collected the different bonuses for a game that I thought I was very excited for.

The hype was so real that I even overlooked my own disappointment in the Duscae demo and told myself that when the real game came out it would be better and you wouldn't just hold one button to win.

>>527678793
Meanwhile a faithful remake exceeds SE's notoriously impossible to meet expectations with ease.

>>527678596
>SE has said the exact opposite
Hahaha. No, they didn't. They tried to do damage control and then they started to blame PS5 when it was clear that the game wasn't selling well just for it to flop in PS and Xbox as well.

>>527679001
>notoriously impossible
DQ remakes cost at least 1/15th as much as XVI did.

>>527677029
Contradictions to the hypothesis are very often proof of the hypothesis. You just need to study the results a bit more. Someone is going to make a 2 hour lore video recapping the entire situation and then everyone will be embarrassed when it's revealed that all of the criticism of Remake and Rebirth on 4chan were all perpetrated by literally one person who was only pretending to like the games. You'll see.

>>527678596
Anon, this is why I put in that key phrase "ultimately." Yes, they met expectations during that first week of sales, but in the long term they were a disappointment when the momentum completely sputtered after that first week and it nearly completely stopped selling.

>>527678941
I remember being excited for Versus, but you really overselling it. We didn't get any news for years and it only started to became a real game after it was transformed into XV. Being overattached and overhyped over a game that was basically nothing is more on you than the supposed disappointment of the final product.

>>527682373
>Also, why would anyone still trust Nomura to deliver considering his record?
Actually, I'm mostly a normalfag, so I wasn't even aware of the internal Developer related shitposting tribalism that occurs on 4chan. I stopped liking Kingdom Hearts after 1, but I never thought to myself that I should find out who the Developer is and never play any of his slop ever again. XV is what woke me up to Developer shenanigans. I'm still not some weird tribalist, but I'm not too keen on Nomura at all. I think everyone can agree that Remake and Rebirth would be better without Whispers. Like, it's not even a cool change, it's a "why?" change.

>>527666908
Nah, FFXV was objectively terrible. XIII, XV, and XVI will be remembered as the trilogy that killed the franchise but future generations will regard XV as the series’ absolute nadir.

>>527682826

I didn't really think it was a controversial opinion. Even normalfags hate the Whispers.

>>527682769
Kingdom hearts and the Remake should have been enough for any sane person to realize that Nomura wouldn't have been able to deliver. He doesn't have it in him to make Versus even half of what some people were expecting of it.

>>527683085
>Kingdom hearts and the Remake
damn...both flops because anon said so...

>>527683085
>He doesn't have it in him to make Versus even half of what some people were expecting of it.
Not him, but I realize this now, yes. I didn't even really connect Nomura with Versus XIII back then for reasons I've already discussed. The sad truth is that Tabata's XV may very well have been a better game than Nomura's Versus XIII. It was still disappointing regardless.

>>527682826
>it's a "why?" change
Anon, you're in luck.

>>527683270
It was more of a rhetorical question than a real one. I don't care why. If there even is an actual "why", I'm sure it's somehow even dumber than there not being a reason at all.

>>527683239
Never said that they were flops. I'm saying that these games weren't groundbreaking in terms of storyline and game play to expect that Versus would have been special.

Also, I feel like you're blurring multiple conversations now.

The original conversation was that XV was the most disappointing Final Fantasy title ever released, for the crime of not being Versus XIII. Then a secondary conversation began where Nomura's competency is called into question, with evidence being other non-VXIII games of his.

And now you're conflating this as saying that Nomura's failure to deliver Versus XIII is the reason that he should not be a Director, but that's not what any of the conversation has been.

Stop marginalizing games :(

one or two opinions vs everyone else isn't exactly hard evidence.

>>527684510
It's a pretty self explanatory series of words, anon, and they perfectly describe the essence of Nomura.

>fakedeep
This normally takes the form of something overly convoluted and obtuse for no real reason other than to obfuscate how very little there is beneath the surface, without outwardly appearing as if this is so. It mimics the cause-effect chain of a genuine and thoughtful revelation, but there is no thought or revelation and in many cases there is no actual logical cause-effect either.

Imagine playing a game of Clue, and you're trying to figure out whodunnit. You're piecing things together and you think you're making progress, so you hazard a guess. "Miss Scarlett in the Dining Room with the Candlestick?", you say. And then the truth is revealed. Oh ho ho, my dear player, that is a wonderful and informed guess, but you are wrong. It was actually Batman in the Sagrada Familia with a Rotary Saw. Whoa! What? You didn't realize that Batman was a character? Well, he's not, it's actually Superman wearing a Batman suit! Haha! Didn't realize the Sagrada Familia was a location? Well, it's not! It's inside a dream! Didn't realize that a Rotary Saw was a weapon? *tips Fedora* Well, the Rotary Saw is actually a hallucination and it's just a standard Garrote. *smug* My, my, don't you feel stupid for getting that wrong? Was that tough to follow for you feeble little brain? Don't you feel stupid... yet somehow also enlightened?

You clearly pretended that you didn't know what it meant when it's really rather obvious, so I explained it to you and also gave you an example so you could see this demonstrated.

Two of those "buzzwords" you are "making fun of" are just normal words, anon. I explained to you the very obvious meaning of the only word that was not already a real word, even though both "fake" and "deep" are words and can be combined into a word that should be intuitively understood, and you complained that I didn't explain the 2 regular words to you also.

Meta ironic shitposting is still shitposting

I'm aware of the recurring SNL skit, anon, but you can't just shitpost like that and then be upset when you get a reply. You were also being at least partially genuine with your shitpost that you're claiming you didn't actually mean, because you complained about "buzzwords", yet every single word is a real word other than "fakedeep", which I explained, and your reply to it was to first say "no u" but then to also complain that I didn't explain "meaningless" or "nonsense" to you also, which are just real words and shouldn't need an explanation.

Do you realize that what you are doing is saying:
>"PLEASE just let me shitpost, I don't actually want you to call me out on it"
or is that the intention?

Both of you trying to climb to the intellectual top of this ant hill is sad

anon please stop posting, this is so sad.
You didn't get the reference and didn't know about Norm's podcast show. Please, log off for the day and go have dinner with the family.

I was just having a conversation and then someone expressed that they didn't understand what I was saying, so I explained it. He didn't actually want an explanation though, he just wanted to shitpost.

He did successfully deflect the conversation from Nomura's fakedeep meaningless nonsense though, so he did what he intended to, it seems.

I haven't read the posts but I can tell from how long and pissy they look that someone must have failed to show nomura due respect

This general complains about shitposting just as much as it shitposts.

I like when there hasn't been a post for 3 hours and the first post to break the silence is also some schizo rant about shitposters. Really gets the noggin joggin.

/ffg/: 40% shitposts, 40% complaints about shitposts (which are shitposts in and of themselves but do not count towards the former statistic), 20% actual final fantasy discussion

>20% actual final fantasy discussion
It's like 1-5%.
20% is way too generous.

>>527673105

>>527690597
60% is sales shitposting
30% is waifu fagging
5% ritual posting
5% real discussion.

Out of the last 20 posts only these two are almost FF related
To break this, I will assert that crystal Chronicles ost is superior to all other FF Osts.
I will not be taking arguments on the this assertion or debating anyone, I'm just making factual statements
