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.

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? The worst!

FPBP

I just want to say that I'm very calm right now.

>>532182283
I see that often with the Lightningfag. He's so focused on his Mary-Sue waifu that he doesn't realize that it's possible to dislike Lightning because she sucks without loving Lunafreya.

I just want to say the savior is very fragrant right now

In an effort to prove himself to be the most Final Fantasy fan ever, he has repeatedly proven completely by accident that he might actually be the least Final Fantasy fan ever.

I think whoever is maintaining the filter pastebin needs to make the "/10" filter more obvious for the Lightning avatarfag. That way he doesn't have another meltdown the next time it's posted.

>>532212278
It's meant as a sort of symbol for the romance of creation between two opposites that's common in nip media and eastern philosophy in general. You sometimes have the same motif in different shapes, like with Tidus and Yuna (Sun/Moon) and Cocoon and Pulse (Heaven/Earth). So I guess the answer is: whenever Final Fantasy is written by competent people once more.

>>532197685
to be fair 2 of them straight up tank explosions and Rydia there just does wacky DBZ shit. Ends up being kinda funny.

To be fair, you actually revive Y'shtola. The other "fakeout" deaths in Final Fantasy games, you don't actually revive them, they merely aren't dead. Like Sephiroth, Cloud, Tifa, and Barret. You don't go and revive them as part of the story, they just didn't actually die. Palom, Porom, Yang, and Cid didn't actually die. Squall didn't actually die. Iirc, part of XII's plot hinges on people being "dead" when they aren't. etc

FFXIII Trilogy needs a remaster/rerelease.

>>532259540
It needs a Remake with Whispers

>>532259903
It needs to retcon the awful sequels.

>>532259980
It's more like XIII needs a retcon so that XIII-2 and LR existing at all makes more sense. That's where the Whispers come in

>>532260289
2 and LR already have an explanation: SE needed money because Nomura and Tabata are hacks who fucked up v13/15 development so they rushed out sequels and retconned 13.
The correct course would be to decanon the sequels.

Adding Whispers to any potential Final Fantasy Remake would make the game objectively better

>>532260494
Correct. XIII has already gotten far more than it deserved, purely out of SE's desperation.
They were right to put it in mothballs since then.

>>532261102
XIII has been nothing but a black spot on SE's legacy. As bad as Forspoken.

>>532260602
Not every ff has the planet as an active player in the game

>>532261102
This really is all Nomura's fault though, for failing to deliver on Versus XIII, and instead leaving us with the Dark Ages of Lightning followed by Tabata's Frankenstein'd hodgepodge of Nomura's failed abortion, the most disappointing Final Fantasy of all time, Final Fantasy XV.

>>532261441
>blames XV for XIII's massive embarrassment of a failure that ruined consumers' trust in the FF franchise until XIV fixed it
Cringe.

>>532261637
Uhh... actually my post was blaming Nomura for forcing us to endure 3 separate games with Lightning in them. It was literally Nomura's fault. If he had been able to actually push out Versus XIII, it's likely that XIII-2 would not have needed to retcon XIII's ending in order to fill in. Tabata's Frankenstein'd hodgepodge of Nomura's failed abortion (XV) was only a descriptor, and it was just an aside to the main point.

Please learn better English.

>>532261637
You struck a nerve, he descended into namecalling.

We're at the point where 1.0s failure has mostly been forgotten. Of course it it failed and nearly killed the company, but its relaunch and success since then has caused it to mostly be swept under the rug.

>532269321
>XIII get criticized
>"b-b-b-b-b-b-but what about XIV"
XIV isn't XIII.
We are talking about XIII.
Can't you follow a single discussion? Are you stupid?

>>532269698
Let's talk because I have questions as legitimate newfag to most FF drama.
So a genuine company tanking failure like XIV is swept under the rug by fanboys because the game eventually made them (their favorite company) happy, one day?
Only after it successfully copied WoW, took WoW's players, indoctrinated people into cult like reverence of the developer, and then sold them all lots of microtransactions, subscriptions and expansions?
How much money has been milked from those MMO pigs-I mean customers, I wonder, during the last decade plus?
And what have those fans been left with for their time and money spent on the game? The engoodening of the game has led to...what exactly? Dawntrail?
No matter the cost of this game to their own wallet or their personal time, nor the costs of the game on the company itself, nor it's reputation...
XIV cannot be considered anything but the most perfect of success?
Why is that? I'll let them think about that

Oh and the single player console Final Fantasy games?
Games that have sold over 30 million copies combined for the franchise during the last decade plus like VR, XIII trilogy and XV?
Those games are to be shitposted relentlessly every single day for the foreseeable future by these same "fans", right?
That's because it's these home console FF games that were the failure? And so they have "killed the series"?
I'm just trying to understand what mental illness is on display in the "FF community" that leads to such blatant, irreconcilable tribalism surrounding a single man.
Is it REALLY just about worshipping this one man?
Because everywhere you look, you see the same sentiment being repeated ad nauseum by these people. "Yoshi saved FF".

>>532271928
I'm aware this is not an "MMO" cult that we are dealing with, but a cult centered around an individual. That's usually how a cult operates

>>532273645
XIII was never a failure, objectively speaking. There's only one Final Fantasy game that was objectively a failure....

>>532273748
>I'm aware this is not an "MMO" cult that we are dealing with, but a cult centered around an individual. That's usually how a cult operates
I didn't read your text wall because it is assuredly nothing but drivel, but I don't think that you understand this at all, because Yoshida did not exist until XIV 2.0 (ARR). He had nothing to do with XIV 1.0, so your bogeyman is not relevant to your current daily seethe posting (in this case, a picture of XIV 1.0, while saying people are defending it)

>>532274403
I was actually shitting on Nomura and XIII in that post, which is why it's clearly a falseflag, most likely perpetrated by you.

>>532274473
>picture of XIV 1.0, while saying people are defending it
Strawman fallacy. I said people are ignoring it, not defending it. That substituted that word in though, pretty revealing of your intentions. You people do that a lot

>>532274654
And what you need to realize is happening, is that the person who you were dealing with earlier, is lashing out at you because he boxes with my shadows all day long. He's been completely mind broken by FFXIII/Lightning posters, he imagines his fatherless enemy literally around every single corner, at all times of the day.

I don't care if you don't like FFXIII.

>>532274996
>"no u :)"
Why is every single one of your posts this? All you do is say this over and over again while ignoring everything of substance that is said in any post you have ever replied to.

You keep doing that thing again

Final Fantasy VIII is the best Final Fantasy.

He does this for 18 hours of every single day of his life, too.

I'm starting to believe jhunter is behind this new obsession. It's just too hard to believe that more than one person would waste all their time on a similar crusade against one poster for, once again, basically no reason at all.

What are we even mad about this time?

>>532275598

Which one of them is that? The guy who is in here spamming about his Lightningfag lover at all hours of the day, every single day? Or is it the guy who does nothing but talk about "valid criticism of Remake", "we killed the Whispers" and "5 years" who can't be nailed down?

Or are you talking about the oneguy trickster, who posts nothing but trolling about "Yoshitpiss" who is the true thread boogie man, igniting fires from all angles every day?

When was the last time you saw that on /ffg/?

>>532279778
You're right, it's been a few days with no valid criticism, hasn't it. I guess VIIR discourse has been cooling off...a "Water burial" of some sort I think occurred recently. But the Whispers trolling is always common. That did happen earlier too.

And don't you dare mention the organic Masamune quality. Because someone really likes to pretend he's not allowed to discuss it, but never replied to me when I told him I think it's cool.

Right, this is the part I've become more familiar with over the last year. I'm sure he's a very, very nice guy. Genuinely. I have no problem with him, personally. But I am baffled by some of the things I've seen him say and defend.
Not to say he's alone amongst FF devs, though. I was baffled by FFXVI as a whole. And I am baffled by Dawntrails existence. It makes me think to myself "I really don't want to see his name attached to the next Final Fantasy title I purchase."
The world of MMOs and FFXIV and basically everything about CS3 brand FF games is foreign to me and has almost always been quite unappealing to my sensibility overall. Then when I see the images of the game developers wearing cultist robes combined with the non stop praise online, when the products are so middling (IMO)....I really question what the fuck is actually going on?

>>532282110
It's been about 5 days or so. /ffg/ has been terribly slow the last week, you know? I also mentioned other trolling that gets repeated like Yoshitpiss and fatherless. I have debated here (fruitlessly) with others on the "valid criticisms" that I myself have for the series despite loving it, multiple times before. Just to see the same trolling get repeated ad nauseum, because it's just a trolling gimmick (bait), not a real opinion.
But you, only targeting that specifically...that just leads me to believe you know exactly how often this little nugget has been repeated in here over the last, lets say...6 years now? I don't really know myself though, because I haven't been posting here that long. I only absorbed this schizo lore through osmosis. Only the person who directly mentions his last 5 years of posting here (and the man who was mind broken by it) even knows what he's talking about with his "FFVIIR criticism, we killed the Whispers, Tidus in part 2 joke" business.

>>532182512 (OP)
Square Enix should make a Star Wars game.

>>532284958
>It's been about 5 days or so
Has it? I was curious so I checked the archives. Seems like it's rarely mentioned these days. The most recent results all seem to be from someone complaining about someone saying it and not someone actually saying it. I guess it stuck in someone's craw but it might be time for them to accept that it's not "spammed" here, certainly non stop. It's rare, and usually brought up by him.

>>532285008
I wholeheartedly agree with you, spammer. Rebirth/KH like action, party based, ATB command based RPG with spaceship galaxy travel and lightsabers. A "Knights of the Old Republic" remake but Japanese so it could actually become decent? Should have been a deal SE pursued with Disney whenever they first opened the Star Wars license back up a few years ago, instead of all these lame ass Western studios who can't make jack shit anymore. Fallen Order was okay though I guess, but it was a Souls clone. So it's a quarter of the way there to a Japanese game already!

>>532285310
>Only the person who directly mentions his last 5 years of posting here (and the man who was mind broken by it) even knows what he's talking about
Yeah. Read that part again. Nobody knows what he's talking about except for him but yet for some reason, I myself have seen it get posted dozens of times whenever anyone starts to feel a bit frisky about FFVIIR/fans of the game. I've even brought up this fact that nobody even knows what that poster is talking about anymore, only to be treated like I am the object of the shitpost. How typically schizo!

You wouldn't be doing that now, would you? I mean, I've seen the little "fun over time" /ffg/ chart posted at least a dozen times in the last year. That shitpost image sure makes a pretty bold claim about "the XIIIfags" supposed "secret identity", you know it?

>>532287653
Anon I don't know what you're talking about, but you seem to be deeply invested in it. All I'm saying is the claim that "valid criticism of remake" is spammed here doesn't seem to be true. It's rarely posted aside from when someone brings it up to complain about it as if it were being posted constantly - which it isn't.

Why the official ffg filter doesn't have this shit added to the list >>532285008

I've just "stumbled" upon quite familiar looking terminology being posted to /v/ just yesterday in a popular FFVIIR thread
Skimming through that thread rather quickly....well. You could go take a look for yourself and come to your own conclusions, if you'd like. It's been a few days since it was posted here to /ffg/ sure, but the trolling is a staple of this general ever since I've arrived. It doesn't go but a few days at the very most before being rehashed. And it's happening on this website just a click away, and within the last 24 hours.

Personally I really enjoyed Remake, but I definitely enjoyed Rebirth even more. I don't think that's controversial to say in the slightest either. There are many criticisms that I have for the games, despite being a big fan. The Whispers? Existentialist meta narrative device, a proverbial middle finger to all the armchair critics and nostalgia blinded purists who think they know better then the creators do, of course.

What makes her so "legendary" anyways?

Here's that updated pastebin of recommendations. Brought to you by "The Councilor" himself. That joke seemed to have pissed somebody off pretty badly too. Don't know why though

>Final Fantasy: What Version Should I Play?
https://pastebin.com/CN4a45nR

If anyone ever wants to actually take time away from their shitposting to rewrite this, make their own version, correct whatever mistakes they think are present, change the recommendations, or add a game they think is missing, then I welcome them to do that!
Post your own pastebin guide for everyone else to see! The decade old pastebin in the OP includes too much unnecessary information about all the ports, when someone new really just wants to see recommendations.
It's also not as easily legible. Those were the main things I tried to keep in mind when writing. Because that guide really should be updated and kept updated, and that should be a collaborative effort, not decided by a single anon.
This pastebin has been given multiple stamps of approval by the way whenever it was first posted, despite the vocal minority of shitposting schizos that get triggered by Pixel Remaster being on there, or just the idea of actually purchasing the FF games.

If you really want to know why it's not been added, it's because you're simply "not allowed" to poke fun at the most notorious thread schizos and/or the OP who treat this place like their personal pig sty.
They flee in terror and try to filter out Final Fantasy posts and default image filenames, after all. We have a handful of literal deplorables who are very sensitive about FF.
Some have developed an unhealthy relationship with this general, like the OP and the shadow boxer who spams "you struck a nerve" all night and day. Apparently, they may even pay for the pass to do this shit.
The OP believes there are "rules" over what is and isn't allowed in the OP image and pasta. Conveniently, every FF game that he doesn't like is against the rules!

Literally never saw it before, but you do you.

>>532298946
This is nicely done but it should probably link to some mods?

I feel like there are too many mods for some games but essential stuff at least like FF13fix for 13/13-2, FFNx for 7/8, Moguri/Memoria for 9 etc

Maybe even have its own mods paste where you don't have to worry about clogging it up with links

>>532298946
Lmao your pastebin is in the filter list get fucked shitposter

>>532299551
Yes, I absolutely did think about doing that as well! Having a single list that contains lots of great essential mods for each game would be a fantastic resource for a link. Those mods you mention are all very good and are definitely what I would recommend. But just me saying that will piss people off, just wait.

Is he still spamming his bait pastebin?

>>532298946
Why are you always so autistic, Lightningcuck? This is why we scorn you. That, and also you have no father.

Just sacrifice the gameplay for the story, and the story doesn't make a game replayable, so once you beat it, you don't really want to replay it.

They spent too much effort on spell effects and presentation and too little effort on actual gameplay and making the world less bland and empty. Their priorities were completely out of whack. I think this style of game has potential but they really need to prioritize actual gameplay more.

You've really done it now. The ESL's will be samefagging and off topic trolling all night long because you've posted slightly negative XVI opinions.

Was there any reason Joshua couldn't have just told Clive he was still alive instead of stringing him along for all those years?

>>532309947
BUT hooded mystery nigga.

>>532309947
Think the game says he was in hiding because the people who tried to kill him were still out there. Clive, while enslaved, was relatively (lol) ok but also in the hands of a hostile power. So making contact would be difficult and likely expose Joshua.
Once Clive freed himself though it probably was just a case of not being sure it was really Clive working with Cid.

But I honestly don’t know because I haven’t touched XVI since beating it at release.

>>532278638
Yuh, they try doing a 'new' thing here where instead of the story being framed in a conventional romance, Lightning and Snow are brought together by the common love they have for Serah, in light their radically different and conflicting personalities. In the end both Lightning's cut-dry pragmatism and Snows idealistic tendencies (which also serve as a stand-in for the material world and spiritual world dualism you have in the setting) are needed to resolve the conflict, so the party kills the Cocoon fal'cie (material gods) while also being freed of their crystal stasis by an intervention of the invisible Goddess. Nojima knows his stuff when it comes to characterization at the very least.

>>532319727

/ffg/, how do we attract new fans?

>>532370936
You can. They see "Final Fantasy XVI", they only see the XVI part of it and go "nuu i dun wanna play 15 games"

Playin' FF5 PR. First time playing FF5. I was going after the spell Flame Thrower from Prototype, but none of my regular moves were hurting it. I had no clue how I was supposed to take this guy down, and so I just started trying shit. I eventually tried Goblin Punch. I had no idea what it did, but my jaw dropped when it did 1-2k damage. I didn't know that Goblin Punch did 8x damage if you are the same level as the enemy you are attacking. I turned a 5k HP enemy into a 4-hit chump. It was very cool.

Holy shit, why is this quest so awful?
>Adds an entire new character with her own animations, moves, and Technique... and only has her participate in **TWO** battles with normal enemies and **ONE** mediocre boss fight
>Most of the "gameplay" is just walking forward, talking to the asset store-ass looking aliens, and doing the occasional QTE
>The "story" is just "we need to kill a monster" but is stretched to an hour by a bunch of pointless meandering and dialogue that repeats the same information ad nauseam
And the writing in general... why? Why is it so bad?
>Alien steals Noct's phone
>Noct just stands there doing nothing while Sarah goes to get it back
>Sarah gets it back but the log she's standing on dematerializes for no reason and she falls
>Noct saves her and then chastises her... for being "too reckless?" Because she didn't know that a log would randomly disappear? And where did this come from in general? When's she ever been shown acting recklessly? And hey Noct, why weren't you also trying to get your phone back? It's *your* fucking phone!
>Oh it never comes up again lol lmao
>Then at the end of the quest they're like "We've been through so much together" when they've known each other for an hour and have fought together in *three* battles
And then to top it all off, this stupid waste of an hour ends by booting you back to the main menu... why? Were the devs really so lazy they couldn't have made it so it just spawns you back at the quest start point? It makes it feel so disconnected from the actual game.
I know it was a free update but it feels so half-assed. Sarah's model and combat abilities are the only thing that feel like they had any effort put into them.

>>532377860
Cont'd
The FFXIV collab quest was also free but it's so much better.
>The writing is appropriately silly and lighthearted for a low-stakes crossover, and there are fun dialogue exchanges between the party and Y'jhimei that highlight the differences between their worlds.
>The boss fight with Garuda is really fun and well-designed, taking advantage of XV's mechanics by encouraging you to fight her in midair, having her spawn a bunch of targetable entities that make it harder to just lock onto her and spam warpstrike, her summoning Suparna and Chirada and making you choose between taking them out to relieve the pressure on your party or dealing more damage to her, et cetera.
>Much better than the boring-ass Terra boss fight that's just "spam Technique to win" and never meaningfully evolves
>When the quest ends, Y'jhimei actually *stays* in the FFXV world and you can visit her whenever you want to fight Garuda again and get some sick gear
>(I didn't even realize Terra Kind gives you Sarah's sword after completion until I saw it mentioned in a GameFAQs post, and her sword is dogshit anyway lol)
>Oh, and the FFXIV quest also gives you a new summon, because hey, why not?
On top of all that, why Terra Battle? Why some random mobile game that no one played and unceremoniously died in 2020? Is it just because Sakaguchi was involved with it? Even Ass Creed made more sense for a collab quest because at least Ass Creed was popular at the time.
I'm just so baffled by how bad this quest is. No one ever talks about it and I just needed to vent lol.

>>532385830
Your post indirectly insulted Tifa's Game.

>>532385242
Pacing is an art that not a lot of writers know how to handle. This is not really a problem unique to Square, Atlus and Falcom also have trouble with efficiency and get bogged often by the setup. Think there's also the perception of the target market at play here, and the idea that "more playtime = more good" is hard to shake away. Part of why E33 was such a huge success is how it clearly was closer to SNES / PS1-era pacing than a lot of its contemporaries and focused on fluidity over fluff.

Leave your cult goggle for once and try think rationally. Regardless of your forced feelings, XV was a huge success and both the previous and the new CEO have declared that it brought new generation of fans. The problem, they failed to keep them and they lost their trust by proving that they don't respect their audience when they canceled the dlcs and announced it on its anniversary event. Personally, I think they should have warped up XV with RE.

I remember a while back someone did a comparison between DLC completion rates of different games and FFXV's was comparatively pretty low, and that was just the first episode. With each episode release the numbers started dwindling so following an internal review they would have concluded that a Season 2 pass wouldn't be sustainable and it would be for the best to cut it short and wrap things up with Episode Ardyn. A genuine shame as I really enjoyed the DLC, and and the missing Episodes would have been a better outcome than the team spending the next 5 years on Forspoken. Wouldn't have lost them as much money at least.
As for why they decided on the brilliant idea of announcing the cancellation during a livestream of all things, that I don't have a good answer for. Glad it happened though, and we have the chat's reaction preserved for future generations.

I think it's kind of normal that a dlc will have less numbers compared to the base. Not every person who bought the game would be willing to buy the dlcs whether they like or not. The fact they considered to do season 2 is a proof enough that season 1 did will enough. The ironic thing, they did admit that they canceled the dlcs because SE wanted them to focus on flopspoken and we know that they worked on flop 16 too. I guess that anon was right that they did take ff15 for granted.

>>532405452
>>532410801
Didn't they do a survey and asked people if they wanted more dlcs and the majority answered yes? So, there was clearly an interest.

Apparently XI is very, very good, but she's unable to properly explain why. Something about depth.

>>532414002
Is this a she or a >she? This determines how much weight I'm willing to give to their opinion.

>>532415048
I dunno. She uses a lot of Fantasia thingies, so...
But yeah, the impression I get is that XI is fun, but it's the kind of game where you have to eat a lot of documents to understand how to play.

>>532416279
>I dunno
Uhuh

>>532416514
I'll be honest: I don't give a damn if the player has a clam or a sausage, so long as the character is cute, isn't too autistic, and can play.

>>532411032
An interest from the FFXV community, sure.
But looking at trophy stats on waybackmachine (before Royal came out and bundled in the Season 1 content) it looks like only about 2% of American FFXV vanilla owners actually came back and finished Episode Prompto/Ignis a month after release. With how much effort they were putting into the DLC, I can't exactly blame them if they crunched the numbers and found that with a retention rate that low they would be very unlikely to get enough support to fund an entire Season Pass 2, and so giving it the axe and prioritizing work on a new IP would be the right move. Well, in theory it was the right move. They execution on the other hand...

FF made over 200 million for WotC

“ In terms of Final Fantasy, and how it met expectations, I'll give you a comparison between two of our biggest Universes Beyond sets. Lord of the Rings took 6 months to deliver $200 million of revenue, Final Fantasy took 1 day, and we left demand on the table. So we couldn't produce enough. I think we increased production runs on it 4x pre release. It was substantially by many, many very high double-digit percentages ahead of any other production run we've ever done, and we left the market wanting more."

>An interest from the FFXV community
Well, it was made for them to begin with.

And I don't think season 2 was necessary or needed. It was a non-canon alternative ending after all. The thing is, they announced it, made fans excited and then canceled it the worst way possible. It was a terrible decision that hurt them in the long run.

>>532420528
>200m in one day
That's too suspicious. There's no way any series could that.

>>532421020
Final Fantasy is a big known IP spanning decades even if the games are currently doing "poorly"

I don't deny that FF is a big name, but I still don't believe that FF or any other franchise could that in just one day. There's something not right here.

>>532422292
200mil in 24 hours doesn't seem too impossible, especially for something people LOVE to scalp

>>532422704
It clearly unusual since it's the first they got that.

>>532422704
I mean, only Lotr was able to reach this and it took 6 months to do that. Doing it in one day is indeed questionable.

>>532422292
Scalpers know FF fans have severe mental issues and will pay anything for a Zack or a Tifa or whatever.
What percentage of those sales were to people who actually play MtG or have any intention of doing so in future?
How many "FF influencer" types did you see on socials being hype for MtG for the first and last time in their lives? They saw FF branding and lost their minds. And the second there's hype around a limited product, every retard in the world gets fomo and tries to jump on. I promise you 99.99% of the people buying these cards are no different from the kids stabbing each other over Labubu dolls right now - and none of them will give a shit a year from now.

If you want an in-depth opinion : it's very rough. The positive is, it is perfectly doable solo (I did the entire game with trusts and only had trouble with one boss near the very end), the game often makes its premium units available in campaigns (mainly the super supports + Shantotto II, the best dps of the entire game), but even the recent QoL gives you plenty of extremely good trusts that'll carry you for a huge chunk of the story.
On the other hand, you'll have to come to terms pretty quickly that most things people liked about XI, mainly its more community oriented challenges, don't exist in the game's current state. You'll stomp through areas with very little difficulty, and the actual battle system is very dull by itself (doubly more so since 90% of your fights are automated). You'll see quite a few areas that were originally made to be with groups of players that had every limitation removed and become far less interesting. So mostly, it's lot of running around watching everything die + occasionally waiting for timegates to open.

Still, if you're in the right mindset, I think it's a nonetheless interesting relic of its era. It's not really a story-oriented game like XIV is, it doesn't have a long running plot but it does some neat things with its more contained narratives. At the very least, you'd do yourself a disservice not listening to its excellent OST, and some of its areas are among the best the series offers.

Be mindful it's very long and you'll need a lot of time to finish all the main stories. Also, don't hurt yourself and install Windower, a lot of the add-ons are fantastic QoL.

Nah, the quality of the encounters is the only thing that is being praised about the expansion. Everything else, like OC,Cosmic Exploration, and especially the quality of the writing, has been heavily criticized.

You haven't even started the real game yet stupid nigger. It takes years for most people to gear up to the actual gameplay content, which is gated behind the ending of Rhapsodies and continues throughout Voracious. It is true however you go with trusts through most of the expacs.

Square just confirmed Rebirth on Xbox and Switch for late 2026

>>532432454
Stop posting screenshots, you'll make me want to try it.

>>532432891
You should. It's an absolutely unique experience like no other.

>>532432454
People don't generally ask to play XI because they're interested in the endgame as priority. Besides, "just" doing the stories already takes a lot of time even before gearing for endgame, it's absolutely fair to explain what'll be his experience before he has to actually group up.

>>532433202
...is it on Steam or something? I remember another guy trying to get into it, and having to log in on a 2001 website.

>>532433710
Nah, you'll need to install it the old fashioned way (you're dealing with a PS2-era PC game). It's not *that* bad, though.
