Final Fantasy VII Remake is selling like hotcakes on Switch 2 and topping all of the charts. Will Square Enix finally realize that Nintendo is their main audience and where their focus should be?

>>731571571>Square will finally make a profit on the FF7 remakes by releasing them on SwitchLOL
>>731571571>Troondies get existed about a 5 year old Demake
>>731572889>squeenix had to crawl back to nintendo because snoys don't buy games
>>731572889>Now the game is on Nintendo it's suddenly badYawn...
>>731571571>indian xitter account shilling for the most diverse Final Fantasy game ever created
>>731573163Pajeets don't play Final Fantasy, retard.
>>731573154>suddenly
>>731571571Nintendo fans really don't buy other console huh I thought this shit was just a meme...
Remake assimilation has been completed, soon the last OG defenders will be forgotten.Square won.
>>731573931you're right, they just shill for it
>>731571571Congrats on being the best selling Switch 2 game. It must be hard being more popular than all those Switch 2 exclusives like... uh... the cart racers made for babies.
Nintendo got its bitch back in Final Fantasy, next up we're taking Monster Hunter back
>>731571571Tendies excited for 5 year old Playstation ports
>Snoys don't buy games, tendie buy gamesShocking news
>>731571571Wait until they find out that switch can't run Rebirth lol
>>731575223Don't worry they will cut the "open world" and route them trough Chadley not like it matters anyway.
>>731574995Tendies getting excited to finally have games
>>731571571>digital media is scarce!
Why are these retarded nincels acting like topping charts so close to release day for a brief spell isn't the norm with charts?
It just feels right
>>731575815>inb4 they become nintendo exclusive and lose out on steam sales AGAINyou just know they are dumb enough for that
>>731571571>sells well on PC>sells well on Switch 2The future of gaming is Steam (Steam Store, SteamOS, Steam Hardware) and Nintendo (Switch Hardware). PlayStation has become Xbox and will die like Xbox. KIDS AND NERDS, RISE UP!!!
>>731575927>>731576320they would not miss out on muchreminder not even steam money saved wilds and now crapcom is desperately crawling back to the install base that actually buys games
>>731571571>People actually like this AAA walking and loading screen simulatorThe standards for videogames are in the gutter. Poor western AAA design is still selling in 2010 + 16.
>>731576553It wont save them though. Bad games dont sell, good games do, regardless of the platform.
>>731575223Can it seriously not?
>>731576553More than half of India has a steam account?
>>731576553The Steam problem will be fixed when desktop PCs are gutted and replaced by Steam Decks and Steam Machines, kek. God, the shrinking of both the console and PC markets are warranted, I wished it happened years ago, but better late than never. Watch as seething vegans and consoletards all come at me. Gaming was better before the 7th generation and you zoomer bastards can fight me on that. Gaming is going to heal without high-end PCs, PlayStations, or Xboxes.
>>731575223Wait until you find out that Squeenix already confirmed the entire Demake trilogy for Switch 2
>>731576672>>731575223Rebirth for Switch 2 and Part 3 for Switch 2 have already been confirmed. Rebirth port is basically already done.https://twistedvoxel.com/final-fantasy-vii-rebirth-is-already-running-on-switch-2-hamaguchi-says/
>>731576553Based
>>731575223Already leaked for a Christmas release
>>731577005To add onto this, Square has stated that they’re moving away from exclusives in general and that part 3 will likely be multiplat from the get go.
>>731576790A single person can spam dozens if not hundreds of accounts to ban evade and scam anon.
game key cards won lmao
>>731575223The switch 2 is gonna run gta 6
>>731577323In all honestly, I wish they stop selling their games on PlayStation and especially Xbox. Xbox, in particular, seems very pointless now.
>>731577005>>731577323If they can get part 2 and 3 to run well on the Switch 2 also then that's a huge win. The remake trilogy is really the only reason that I would get a PS5 (other than Fable 4 but not sure about that one yet).
>>731577405As a cloud port maybe. The Switch 2 is much weaker than even the Series S when you factor in handheld play.
>>731576672It can. Just, y'know, at like 240p vaseline resolution upscaled and 15 FPS
>game comes out on switch>is suddenly regarded as being good and shitposting lowers significantlyyou fuckers are so annoying
Which game is going to nuke the AAA industry entirely, GTA 6 or BG&E 2?
>>731577452ah yes what a masterfull idea, stop selling on the platform that always buys the most of their units sold
>>731572704The fuckin irony
>>731577681The thing is, everyone already knew they were good. But the nintrannies couldn’t just let people enjoy something that wasn’t bing bing wahoo.How the turn tables.
Remake on shit 2 looks like how retards thought rebirth on ps5 in performance mode looked. Imagine how dreadful rebirth will be on shit 2
>>731577323>To add onto this, Square has stated that they’re moving away from exclusives in generalI remember when that news first came out and literally everybody said that it was about PC and completely ignored the fact that Nintendo is the bigger opportunity for Square.Rebirth and FF16 sales in Japan were horrid due to the fact almost nobody owns either a PS5 or a gaming PC there. Capcom is also seeing the writing on the wall in regards to the domestic market, which is why they did everything they could to get games like RE9 and Pragmata day-and-date on Switch 2.
>>731577452I don't care about any of those but, eh, why do you actively wish for those things to stop being sold?
Barrysissies… not like this…
>>731577768Snoys have become Microrats, they don't buy these types of games anymore. It's time to trim the fat.
>>731577452>Xbox, in particular, seems very pointless now.Xbox shills are utterly shameless. All those years of port-begging for Remake and it hasn't even broken the top 40 on the Microsoft Store. FF16 on Xbox also sold like dogshit, and the FF14 port came and went without much fanfare. They literally refuse to play anything unless it's on Goy Pass.Makes me wonder how much Microsoft must be paying Atlus to get them to torpedo their entire marketing strategy by announcing every single new game through Xbox livestreams. Xbox just is not a viable platform for Japanese games.
>mfw part 3 is funded purely because retards want to play it the worst way possible
>>731577681>purseowner finally comes out on switch>is suddenly regarded as being bad and shitposting increases significantlyyou fuckers have zero self awareness
>>731577889Sony and Microsoft are a cancer to the game industry. Sony started shitting it up in 2016, Microsoft started around the end of 2008 and only got worse since 2016 as well. Sony made bad decisions with the PS3, yes, but they weren't trying to kill video games like they started to do in 2016. For Xbox, fuck both Don Mattrick and Phil Spencer. Nintendo and Steam are the main reason we're even getting a new Megaman game. Normalfags need to have everything taken from them.
>>731577856Capcom literally already said they just tested to see if it would run and were pleasantly surprised it did so they went with the port. You faggots love to act like they're desperately trying to put games on shitendo when it's an afterthought that works out for them
>>731578095Did persona shitposting increase?i've only seen metafor being used for the culture war
>>731578043Microrats don't buy games, they just want to hoard them. There's a reason PS fanboys became shit the moment they got an influx of Microrats joining the club in 2013. These retards killed so many franchises that came to Xbox during the OG Xbox and Xbox 360 days because they hate anything but their shitty AAA normalfag slop.
>>731577474they’ll figure out a way. it could look like gta v and fundamentally the game would not be different.
>>731577768Xbox? Don't think so.Sony fans only play Fortnite and FIFA. They don't care about any other games aside from the occasional "AAAAA" movieslop.PC is where all the people who actually like video games went.
>>731578406The amount of money needed for that would not be worth it unless they want to port it to phones too since phones use ARM like the Switch 2. The processor will be what holds both back though since GTA 6 is an open world game, even DKB chugs at certain sections and that's not even a true open world.The Switch 1 was the best selling console last gen by far but still didn't get a GTA V port(it's a 360 game).
>>731576805The PC market is pretty much irreparably fucked, for over a decade now the primary selling point of PC and PC-adjacent devices like the goydeck is quite literally "but you can easily pirate and mod the games day 1 unlike on a switch tho" and at this point you can't separate that rampant piracy from the PC platform, especially not when the primary PC demographic is third worlders using shitbox PCs playing CSGO, minecraft, fortnite and valorant all day.It will only get worse now that there's a new kiddo in the block actually cracking denuvo games again, even P5R is buckbroken and ready for rape by piracy.The kike fatso was wrong, piracy is not a service problem, piracy is a quality problem and a market problem.All you have to do to actually get money is to make your good game with japanese interests in mind and sell it on a platform they actually own, it's very much that simple.Meanwhile it doesn't matter if you make a masterpiece by westoid interests, they will pirate it anyway or at the bare minimum nickle and dime you using credit card fraud key resellers to buy your game for cents while acting smug for saving the video game industry by spending some money.
>>731578408>PC is where all the people who actually like video games went.Nintendo*Steamtards seemingly play nothing but live-service multiplayer games and F2P garbage, judging by SteamDB and the store's official sales charts.Nintendo is quickly becoming THE place for premium single-player experiences, especially in regards to Japanese games.
>>731571571I was gonna get the switch 2 version too, I'm not that surprised its selling well actually.What has me curious is how many people are buying the game key version to the point that it's selling out literally everywhere, because who the hell are all these people buying the game key version?The game is like 100gb while the biggest cart size on the switch 2 is 64gb I believe, so it's not like I can really blame squeenix for using game key cards, but that's not really the point here.
>>731571571Tendies are desperate for ANYTHING on the Shitch 2 this isn't surprising
>>731578206>Capcom literally already said they just tested to see if it would run and were pleasantly surprised it did so they went with the port. You faggots love to act like they're desperately trying to put games on shitendo when it's an afterthought that works out for themRE9 got a full trailer unveiled at a Nintendo Direct, associated Amiibo figures and the first special-edition Switch 2 pro controller design. That sort of thing has to be organized a while in advance. Capcom were already a strong Switch 2 partner even before RE9 was announced, the SF6 port received heavy promotion from Nintendo pre-launch.
>>731573154It has always been censorslop.
>>731578897idgi the steel sky thing? am i retarded or was it changed for the sake of it
>>731578219>Did persona shitposting increase?Of course, Persona 5 was a masterpiece when it was a PS4 exclusive but once it got ported to PC and Switch suddenly it was nothing to write at home
>>731578610It’s the same price digital or card, so may as well get the MTG cards that come inside
>>731577893Why is Barry supposed to be mad about 7R’s success? Rebirth was built on what XV did right. It’s literally XV‑2 and it will sell as well as 7R port, if not better.
>>731577456>The remake trilogy is really the only reason that I would get a PS5 (other than Fable 4 but not sure about that one yet).The PS6 will probably be around by the time the last one is ready. There's a good chance I end up skipping the PS5.
>>731578408PC is for Counter-Strike 2 and other skinner boxes.
>>731578735A full trailer had already been out. Shitty toys literally do not matter, mhs 3 is getting shitty toys too and that marks the series 1st time being full multi plat. They do them cause it exists. Controller designs are almost in the same league as the toys. Yea I agree, re9 was not made recently. What he said in the interview could've happened ages ago, we don't know
>>731578551Most PC users will be told to use the cloud or fuck off, Steam hardware will only be sold in develop countries for affordable prices, normalfags won't spend $600-$700 on a Steam Machine or $550 on a Steam Deck 2. Most devs will start to add some sort of anti-piracy to their games. PCfags did this to themselves especially when some of the Snoy and Microrat refugees came along. This is good though, the console and PC markets need to shrink so that it can only be held up by gamers again, no more normalfags.
>>731578897meds now
>>731571571NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SNOY IS KING DELET DIS
>>731578897>>731579026The steel sky shit was just a bad translation, though how the fuck you get a bad translation when you have the localization team's cock so far up your ass that you can't even have tits in the game is beyond me.
>>731571571boycotting game key cards in boxes didn't last long then?
>>731583041What can we say, it just feels right
>>731583041>boycottingGamers are the most impulsive shiteaters ever created, there's no way a boycott would work. You can censor a game immediately after launch and they still won't refund it, like Stellar Blade and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. They'll even defend the fucking company afterwards too.
>>731579253mtg?Like, magic cards?I can't say I care about the card game but uhh more power to them I guess.
>>731583041It was never really a thing. The early GKCs sold badly for the usual reasons those games sell badly on Switch, late ports at full price. No one is paying $70 for a decade plus old Yakuza game nigga.
>>731571571>Will Square Enix finally realize that Nintendo is their main audience and where their focus should be?Of course not, first because Square hates Nintendo and hates having to bend the knee and release stuff on the Switch despite it always selling a lot there, and second because Square has completely ludicrous goals and no matter how much a game sells it always underperforms in their eyes
>>731583523>Square has completely ludicrous goals and no matter how much a game sells it always underperforms in their eyesBlackRock ESG funding doesn't exist anymore, and now they're shocked that people aren't buying their games after they used several tons of TNT to demolish any bridges that existed between their (previous) fanbase and them.
>>731583356Yeah, the physical game comes with a pack of Magic the gathering x Final Fantasy cards
>>731582983steel sky reflects the extended hours spent in midgar, it matches what aerith says about comfort of home. the new translation is just theorycrafting bullshit it's fucking raining ahhh so scary.
>>731580769anon, enthusiasts only care about le graphix and that market is dead as fuck, the last relevant graphically demanding game released is trannypunk which is a ps4 gamenormalfags only care about guns and balls and those games are releasing on the switch nowotaku have been with nintendo since the switch 2 because that's where vitaware went after snoy tried to backstab and kill the entire jp vidya industry, yes some went to steam but that's a sinking ship now that they keep banning anime games in behalf of israel as shown by brown dust 2 so they end up with nintendo either wayand random westoid indie shovelware is so light you can install a windows emulator on your phone and reasonably run most of those games, let alone on a proper potato "gaymer" pcwhat fucking moron is going to buy valve hardware at this point?
>>731583523>Of course not, first because Square hates Nintendo and hates having to bend the knee and release stuff on the SwitchI'm not sure this is true anymore. It feels like things are changing. This pic >>731583240 is from a launch day event at Nintendo NYC. Nintendo and Square seem to have collaborated a lot for promotion to ensure the FF7R port was a success. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Part 3 either gets announced at a Nintendo Direct, or at the very least has the 2nd or 3rd major trailer revealed at one.
>>731583917That was all part of the humiliation ritual, and Part 3 will be the one more thing at the Game awards of this year
>>731583849Normalfags will never get a Nintendo console nor Steam hardware, they only wanted desktop PCs, PlayStations, and Xboxes because they were the graphics kings, with these markets dying or dead, they have no other place to go but fuck off from gaming entirely. Normalfags were nothing more than ironic gamers anyway. This is a good thing, the market needed to shrink, permanently. You need to face fact, if you're a REAL gamer, you would want normalfags that use PlayStations, Xboxes, and desktop PCs to not have anything but dirt.
>>731584214You sure about that? The switch was pretty popular among my normie friends. IDK if it's the case with the switch 2.
>>731578567>Steamtards seemingly play nothing but live-service multiplayer games and F2P garbage, judging by SteamDB and the store's official sales charts.And shitty one dollar indie rogueslop games, and friendslop and streamerbait garbage
>>731573154>Now the game is on Nintendo it was never a shitty game or an even shittier remakeYou tendiecuks never cease to amaze
>>731576553>reminder not even steam money saved wilds and now crapcom is desperately crawling back to the install base that actually buys gamesI bet MH Stories 3 is going to sell more than Wilds in Switch lmao
>>731584348Yup, normalfags are stupid, market must shrink. They know these AAA developers and publishers have went to shit yet they keep feeding them. They need to be priced out, those studios either need to be closed down or reduced in size, power needs to be limited, third worlders need to be pushed out. America's and Japan's biggest mistake was opening their arms to the world. The world must be left in darkness.
>>731578610>>The game is like 100gb while the biggest cart size on the switch 2 is 64gb I believethe amount of misinfo about the switch 2 is comical at this pointreminder trannypunk is about 200gb and it's fully in cart because 64gb is not the maximum, it's not the minimum either, you fell for NDS spam
>>731584549I would be shocked if Wilds sells something at all, why would anyone get that trash when the superior Rise is already there?
>>731572994Tendies are the original snoys.
>>731584796Child Porn 2077 is 85GB on PC.
>>731584796Cyberpunk is 61 GB in the Switch 2
>>731578567>>731584423pc gaming is more than steam. then again i wouldnt expect a brand worshiper to understand freedom
>>731572704Wow a Japanese game doing well on a Japanese console featuring primarily Japanese games?Who would have thought?!
>>731572889SAAR
>>731585039>the best Nintendo console was designed by SonyYou can't make this shit up.
>>731584796Fucking retard why are tendies so tech illiterate and always so confidently incorrect about the most inane bullshit
>>731585880But that’s not the Switch 2
>>731584796This faggot always disappears as soon as someone calls him out on his bullshit I’ve seen him do it countless times. Pathetic worm
>>731579565He hates anything directed by Nomura.
>>731571571>tendies are starving for games>buy a year old game for full priceGrim for the no games machine
I mean sony has slowly pigeonholed their target audience into sportsball games and GTA. Final fantasy doing decent on the switch 2 is not stupid because nintendo has been slowly absorbing that kind of audience ever since the switch 1 came out.
It’s going to be so funny seeing the tendies opinion of Nintendos shit games slowly shift once they play a few real games now that they are getting last gen ports. They are going to realize that all they play is baby trash games and will probably buy a ps5
>>731584214you are a fucking retard. Normies love the Switch, 2nd best selling console of all-time (might be 1st but Sony loves lying about PS2 sales), Sw2 is fastest selling console of all-time.I am a PC + Switch 2 Chad and get every fucking game available to me. All Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and 3rd party games are mine. And I have a Deck too to play Steam games handheld. If you go PC + Switch 2 you get to have your cake and eat it.
>>731588151>They are going to realize that all they play is baby trash games and will probably buy a ps5To play what? Returnal? Probably. Horizon? Fucking lel
>>731588276>buying a Switch 2 when it has no gamesBy the time it has a good library, there will be an emulatorAlso the Switch 2’s sales have had a massive deceleration, getting outsold 2:1 by the PS5 in November, etc.
>>731588276Yeah Switch 2 is great. PC for piracy and buy games on Nintendo. Way more fun to play games on a hybrid platform
>>731572414>assumes someone’s gender in the current year.
>>731588276Those are gamers, normies are the tards who won't give up on PlayStation and Xbox, I question though, are those just third worlders because they seem to have a large amount of hate towards Nintendo and Steam hardware even when I tell them to just get those. They do not want to accept that desktop PCs are dead, Xbox is dead, and PlayStation is dying?>I am a PC + Switch 2 Chad and get every fucking game available to me. All Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and 3rd party games are mine. And I have a Deck too to play Steam games handheld. If you go PC + Switch 2 you get to have your cake and eat it.True, I'll wait on Sony's and Microsoft's games though, they need to fail a little more before they get it. Their studios are still too big and still keep making AAA slop, that Double Fine vase game was the only Xbox game that interested me.
>>731571571Show numbers
>>731576672It probably can but it won't be pretty (not just visually)
>>731571571Tendies once again bailing SE out. Maybe now they'll finally update us on those Remake/Rebirth sales.
>>731588401The ps5 gets every major release that has skipped Nintendo for the last three generations. Stop pretending that you don’t know this. You can see when they finally get a big boy game like ff7 or cyberpunk they lose their minds. Dumbassss were even praising trash like outlaws and assassins creed because they could finally play a game that doesn’t look like playdough
>>731576805>Gaming was better before the 7th generation and you zoomer bastards can fight me on that. You are right on this but wrong on the console front. Gen 6 was so good SPECIFICALLY because it was console/exclusive heavy, unlike the homogenized bullshit fueled by PC inspired live service bullshit we have today
>>731571571Barry won btw
>>731588750>all this hoopla over 4k salesFucking kek
>>731588712So you're saying that Horizon is a good game?
>>731588730100% agreed, this is why the AAA industry must crash, I curse anyone who's currently against that. Exclusives are not anti-consumer, they're the most pro-consumer thing that exists and it needs to fully return. Many developers now lack the passion the old guards had.
>>731588951trvke
>>731588856Idk never played it, why are you so fixated on that one game? You would never try to pathetically misdirect my point by harping on irrelevant bullshit would you? Only stupid people do that and you clearly are very intelligent
>>731588750>FF7 is now so relevant that it can SCARE Bluey the face of kids cartoonsBlueyfags in SHAMBLES, FF7 catching up at an alarming rate!!
>>731573154it was always badjerk off to your harry porter ghosts, redditor
>>731589026My point was that if people who own nothing but Nintendo's consoles buy PS5, they would find some good games on it. No question about that. Already mentioned Returnal is the first thing that came to my mind. It's a fucking good game.You, on the other hand, claim that games on Switch1/2 are baby trash, which is kinda funny when you see how many people beg for PC/PS ports of those games.
>>731589402Alright fair point when you put it that way I can see how I was being hypocritical, I apologize for that
>>731588750This is the third major FF release to be btfo by Bluey
>>731571571>You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.
>>731588151>>731588712people can just "play" those games on jewtube anon, which they do because snoy games sell like shit
I wonder what PS1 fanboys back in the day would say about everything FFVII related being on a Nintendo Console now.
>>731590492Based
>>731573154every timekek
>>731590492>loses to Sony’s PS2
>>731591310>elden ring is le open world slop - BOTW fans
>>731571571Buying key card games lmao.Tendies are retarded.
I tried to tell everyone the hate for Remakes would only get worse with more people gaining access to the game, but I was assured every negative thing was just jealous tendies who would disappear when the game came to Switch 2.
>>731571571How did it do on Xbox?
>>731573154It do be like that
How we ended like this?
>>731571571>sold outyou do know that physical is dying and physical stocks are low to begin with right?
>>731591521They are happy with their 5 year old PlayStation games…. Shh
>>731591552No physical release, currently 41 in their digital store
>>731591656The point is that Sony fucked up so hard that now the third parties are gonna make sure there is a switch 2 version instead of being PS1 exclusive. Hell, Capcom revealed that both RE9 and Pragmata were getting a Switch 2 version on day one, DAY ONE! SE is gonna follow suit with their next big games.
More technical limitations Nintendo hardware is weak compared to ps x and pc and most of the users of nintendo are children, good for babysitting if you have kids though
>>731591629You can thank XVI and Rebirth for that
>>731591792>PS1I mean PS, why I wrote PS1?
>>731591629Do tendies live in a parallel reality? Do they even play video games?
>>731591521Remake is good though. Rebirth is where they shit the bed.
>>731591552Does it matter when Xbox is an irrelevant piece of shit that even Microsoft finally got tired of?
>>731572704Square made a profit day one. Sony funded the development and it will hit 10 million before the year ends.
>>731591883They have to wait a long time to get really any good video games
>>731591883That port was so apocalyptic bad that people memory holed it.
>>731591629The east betrayed Nintendo and the west betrayed PC, now they're forced to come crawling back to survive. Their bet on the PlayStation and Xbox were a failed one.
>>731572704Tardass. Remake sold extremely well, both off of brand recognition and COVID boost. Rebirth was the one that underwhelmed because of PS5 exclusivity and then an awkward PC launch.
>Nintendo's JRPGs are apparently so garbage that their fans consider Squeenix demake slop to be an unprecedented masterpiece
>>731573154Everyone has been shitting on this trash from day one.
>>731592034>awkward PC launchwhat was awkward about it? people not wanting to play it?
>>731592034Remake was exclusive too and did well when it came to Steam later. Rebirth flopped because it bloated Ubishit full of dei.
>>731591883Is that yours?? Bet that's worth a grand
Can anyone explain to me the motivations of mindset of the individuals here who are deeply personally invested in seeing as many copies of this game being sold on the Switch 2 as possible?I'm glad it will be available everywhere but would be happier knowing people weren't buying the worst possible version currently out there. The game really sings at 60fps and these muddy textures do the game no justice. So... are the people desperately pushing specifically for Switch 2 sales just trolls or what?
>>731592004Also because PSX emulation was up and running around 1999.
Did we ever get Rebirth sales numbers? I mean official numbers, not extrapolations done by third parties.
>>731592137>people not wanting to play it?It was literally pirated 500k times on release. It had no denuvo you fucking moron.
How does it look/run?
>>731592195>Can anyone explain to me the motivations of mindset of the individuals here who are deeply personally invested in seeing as many copies of this game being sold on the Switch 2 as possible?Is an irony end to the upper part of >>731591629 pic.
>>731592034>Rebirth was the one that underwhelmedBecause it was woke ubislop with even more time jannies.
>>731592040>>731573154
>>731588401No, you retard. Code Violet, Black Tiger and Destruction All Stars.
>>731588750I remember when Stillbirthers were excited about Stillbirth being #1 just to lose to Bluey and flop so hard that that they said they would no longer announce sales to try to damage control why Rebirth is the only game they refused to announce sales for.
>>731592216You'll get angry if you get called a fanboy and yet here you are actually angry that people pirated a game because you're so invested in winning salesposting arguments in FF threads.How did you end up like this?
>>731592137>what was awkward about it? people not wanting to play it?It released without much fanfare, major performance optimization issues, missing effects from PS5, and ultimately had a situation where a lot of people simply didn't know or care about its release even before you account for it being easily piratable. Not helped by the fact that it being a middle game in a trilogy inherently inhibits interest.
>>731592195Some people are mentally ill coonsumers that literally worship corporations as gods.
>>7315715714chan is NOT buying this. We have already made up our mind and you cannot change it. >game key card>MASSIVE censorship>>731573154We ALWAYS hated it. We have been boycotting since day one, which is why it was such a massive flop with literally zero sales. We won and you lost. No one fucks with us.
I was 25 when FF7 Remake was revealed at e3 and I'll be like 37 or 38 by the time part 3 comes out.
>>731588712>Dumbassss were even praising trash like outlaws and assassins creedNo one praised those games in of themselves, they were just impressed that such demanding games ran as well as they did on a supposedly under powered tablet with no major downgrades.
>>731592216If it had no Denuvo that means that it wasn't profitable on Sony. SE only puts Denuvo on profitable games DQ and Ivalice Chronicles.
>>731592239It's thes worst version you could get but its on a nintendo console so strap in for some glowing positive reports
>>731571571> $40 game with no competition sells wellHMM. What could it mean?
>>731592375Mass Effect 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2 were massive successes.
Question: why SE didn't just make a STRAIGHT REMAKE with some extras there and there? It's literally the only thing people wanted: FFVII with modern graphics.
>>731592390You're no good at this. Do you want some pointers? I'm an expert.
>>731571571>third world salesOk, and?
>>731592462>It's the worst version you could getkek imagine being unable to run a PS4 game.
>>731591629>Goy Key CardDoesn't really work here, should've used the Switch 1 version of the HD Remaster instead, since that's on a real cartridge.
>>731592216Reminder that Rebirth did not finish in the top 100 for all releases and Metaphor did. Digimon even managed to finish Bronze for all releases over Rebirth.
>>731592418They are not that demanding its just that PC optimization was shit.
>>731592513>Metal Gear Solid 2>trilogy
>>731592525>hating our opinionSo you hate everyone in this thread?
>>731577005>runningat 8 fps
>>731592195I want to see sony and Playstation go fully 3rd party. Nintendo getting one of their crown jewels is a step closer.
>>731592592Well... yeah, probably. It's /v/.But your falseflagging lacks the key ingredient. Would you like some advice to help you improve your shitposts in future?
>>731592562metaflop got it's royal edition cancelled while Rebirth is getting a sequel next year.
>>731588750>#1 seller on amazon>less than half the sales of a 6 month old game in 2nd placekek imagine paying amazon to promote your shitted flop and not paying them to hide the sales
>>731592697When did your persona obsession begin? Will anything help you move on?And will you be dumping your entire spam folder again?
>>731592697Rebirth got its intergrade edition cancelled because it still hasn't sold 1 million copies and lost to a DQ remake.
>>731592697>while Rebirth is getting a sequel next year.They're obliged to finish the game regardless of sales thoughbeit.
>>731571640>haha clever gotcha!You are pathetic.
>>731588276Stop lying, you do not have a PC. You literally call people pc vegans and steam trannies for recommending non exclusive titles. Like if i recommended hollow knight silksong over metroid dread, you would shit yourself in rage.
So how many of the sales do you guys think are ultimately Switch 2 players desperate to have ANYTHING new to play to justify their purchase of the console? This would be more understandable if it was Rebirth, but Remake is kind of trash and everyone knows it by now.
>>731592551Nah, the "retail edition" of FFVII remaster for switch was Europe exclusive and is a big fucking LIE as is just a download code, the one which actually has FFVII on a cartridge also has FFVIII on it.
>>731592216>AvowedThus, why I'm happy big tech is killing PC gaming and only Steam hardware will exist. Microrats are a cancer to any fanbase they join.
>>731591919>>731592034If the Final Fantasy remakes had sold well Square would have stated their numbers instead of staying silent.
>>731592205no, square enix refuses to give rebirth and XVI sales numbers for some reason
>>731592826>DQshiteven worse than faglus garbage kek, 12shit will take longer to come out than persoyna 6.
>>731593015Considering how they lap up slop like metroid prime 4, it is definitely a possibility.
>>731593080>>731592794
>>731593029There's also an English Asian version that's a real physical.
>>731592697Metaphor didn’t have to scrap tendies sales to fund their sequel tho
>>731593015I mean, there's also an appeal towards the fact that it's a portable game. You can play the remake stuff on the Steam Deck but that's a more niche audience than the Switch userbase even with Switch 2 still having to make numbers, and Switch 2 will probably be able to handle Rebirth better than Steam Deck does thanks to built-in DLSS. This is why a lot of games get the "Switch bonus" when they get ported, because the handheld, take-it-on-the-go appeal is insanely profitable.
>>731593029>Those trashy 3d render instead of the iconic artCan those chuckle fucks at Square-Enix do anything right?
>>731593015>Tendies are just too rich they can afford every single gameB-Based!
>>731593204Obviously not, but the 8bit remaster did when for a "minimalist" box art
>>731593080DQ3HD is the only reason they can afford to make part 3 after Rebirth flopped. Show some respect.
>>731593204But FFVII most iconic box art was this, not your pic.
>>731575223Rebirth can run on a GTX 1650, and that GPU isn't even capable of DLSShttps://youtu.be/-D-stbVjzMQ?si=jDuOH4nwTP7SFgK_&t=161
>>731592826DQ hard carrying like always.
>>731593147Rebirth got it's sequel funded before the game launched.
All this bullshit and all what I want is a Dissidia remaster.
I find it funny how people celebrate the shittiest versions of games just because they get to give more money to Nintendo.Nintendo is a genius at manipulating consumerists who pay extra for brand names.Tully the Apple of gaming.
>>731593491>only 9 million with a fucking 3DS versionno wonder SE isn't bothering to shit out 12.
>>731593513sorry, you get a steam and switch port of their new mobile game
>>731593434Its snowing in Midgar?
>>731593180This is true, I’ve bought a second copy of a few games for that reason but they all had cross progression. I got really into Cyberpunk for a bit and it was neat playing on desktop then Steam deck on the toilet then switch away from home and always keeping my progress.
>>731593503>spanked by dq again
>>731592917
>>731593434Nah this >>731591883
>>731592431If they'll dish out $100k for denuvo for a paltry 1 million sales you just know Rebirth was an unmitigated disaster.
>>731592826>>731593491>>731594202SE will say every games sales except Redditbirth.
>>731591629>physical edition>key card
>>731594490If the hame made a profit, then they announce the sales, for example Live A Live sold 500k and they made an announcement because it did break even, FFXVI, despite what /v/ says, got an announcement at 3 millions sales which means it did returned its production costs (although I damn sure the profits of it were minimal). Meanwhile Rebirth got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER in literally years which means it hasn't break even and SE is ashamed of it.
>>731573154everyfuckingtimekek you can't make this shit up
>>731571571>were totally not fucking desparate though.....Lmao
>>731594202>>731594871Just you wait, SE will announce Rebirth sales after Switch 2 edition bumps them to 2M
>>731588276daisy is not brown
>>731571571I feel like people underestimate on how people love the Switch being an RPG machine. It's so easy to just take it with you and play it while at work. That way, you're making a steady progress without feeling lost. playing an 80hour game anywhere is a HUGE advantage.
>>731592317Fuck. I forgot about Life of Black Tiger.:(
>>731594871XVI managed to at least break even because it cost half as much as Rebirth to make. I still can't figure out how they spent over $100 million to make a UE 4 game that looks like it was made with free assets.
>>731595390>Forspoke that genuinely feels unfinished cost more than XVISay what you want about Yoshida, but atleast he knows how to finish production in time and not squander the finances.
>>731595390>These investors were shitting on SE for not selling as much as PokemonKWABOTY
>>731595390Wait, Remake was more expensive than Rebirth yet it managed to break even (they announced sales)?
>>731595604Yep. It sold over 7 million total. Even after stores take their 30% cut and with discounted prices mixed in it still made enough to pay for both games. Part 3 is going to make the trilogy a net loss though thanks to Rebirth failing to even earn 10% of its budget back.
>>731595390XVI failed to generate profit in the long run. It barely has any merchandise outside of its action figure line which was planned before the game even released. Meanwhile, even XV and XIII still get new merch today. XVI has hardly gotten any crossovers or collabs the only time it did, the other game died immediately. It didn’t even get spotlight in the new Dissidia game. XVI absolutely has zero value as an IP.
>>731595890FFXVI failed so hard that its main voice actor is not remembered for his role as the FFXVI MC but for Verso from the GOTY E33 and even if you go for a "niche" role angle, his most popular role in this category is Arthur Nightingale who is just "Jetstream Sam voiced by Verso".
>>731571571Would they try to port FFXVI now? Of course it won't look the same, but as long as they don't need to cut anything major it could work.
>>731592034>>731571571Remake is okayRebirth is a solid 6/10 which could've been an easy 9/10 if it wasn't for some retarded decisions (all of which are related to Remake OCs)>>731595175Remake project aren't RPGs, they're clumsy action games
>>731596947No, SE wants to forget everything about XVIBut S2 will get the rumored XIII remake and XVII
>>731595169she's better with a tan
>>731588410oh yeah, about that.... lol. turns out Switch 2 won December.
>>731598654So we trust VG now?
>>731598848I thought that was what you liked, but don’t worry here’s Circana
>>731598848well, also bloomberg is saying it
>>731575223Yeah, it already looks bad on regular PS5, the Switch will be just terrible.
>>731592034>Rebirth was the one that underwhelmed because of PS5 exclusivity and then an awkward PC launch.Maybe people just didn't like Remake as much as they thought they would so they didn't buy Rebirth. Just a thought.
>>731599529Bloomberg is saying what Circana said... not exactly bloomberg themselves reporting their own data.>>731599486VG is notoriously unreliable. Is Circana who everyone is trusting now? PS5 won in November, Switch 2 won in December according to them.
>>731592896Why would you admit to getting owned?
>>731595175>I feel like people underestimate on how people love the Switch being an RPG machine./v/tards and other terminally-online gamers are still stuck in a 2015 mentality where "Nintendo consoles are only for the exclusives".Ever since about 2018 or 2019 when the Switch 1 really started blowing up, Nintendo platforms have been huge for 3rd party JRPGs, indies, and big flagship Japanese franchises like Resident Evil.RE9 and Pragmata sales on Switch 2 are going to be very revealing. Switch 2 versions will likely outsell PS5 versions in Japan. Internationally I expect they'll perform behind PS5, but will comfortably beat the Xbox versions.
>>731595890>>731596135You know its a barry post when he's seething over 16 costing less than Flopspoken
>90gbnot enough space, not buying italso it's 50 euros for some reason
>>731600167It’s something as simple as they want the nips to play their games and that’s clearly a Nintendo owned market
>>731593072The lack of transparency with sales numbers is really dumb on Square Enix's part it does not spell confidence at all in the company or it's games, no wonder there is an ongoing attempt at a hostile takeover of the company.
>>731591552I bought it anyway. Finishing up Crisis Core right now before I play it. JRPGs tend not >>731591743 to really sell well on Xbox though.
>>731571571Huh, I guess Nintendo fans really do just guzzle liquid shit straight from the anus.
The series literally started on the NES.I did my part as an old school. Square better put FFXVII on the Switch 2.
>>731574195>Third party game doesn't sell well on the Switch >Why don't Nintendo fans buy thyrd party games!>Third party game sells well on the Switch >Why don't Nintendo fans buy other console?So which one is it?
Part 3 will be nerfed now to make it work on switch 2
>>731603589part 3 and rebirth will come out on switch 3
>>731603589>SE will finally optimize their gamesThank you Switch or should I say thank you for flopping Rebirth
>>731603589It’s already happening since they stated they’ll still stick with UE4 for Part 3. I’m positive the Switch2 port is one of the reasons, it’s just easier to port than UE5.
>>731571571>>731571640>Game key card>Remake>Censorship>Sony era FF slopNo thanks.
>>731600416lmao stupid europoor tendie you bought a useless children's toy
>>731603674...yes i know. thats why i said part 3 will be nerfed to work on switch 2
>>731571571So when can we expect Rebirth? This Christmas?
>>731604330>>731600416I bought a 1TB Gamestop MicroSD Express card for under $200. Works just as well as that expensive as Lexar one. Also 100% of my games I've ever bought for Switch 1 and 2 since 2017 are all digital. I can walk around with like 80 games and I still have about 400GB of free space.
I will never get over how you autists genuinely think "demake" sounds like a clever insult. I know normies use it for ports to lesser hardware, but as an insult for remakes you don't like, it sounds special ed.
>>731595890>It didn’t even get spotlight in the new Dissidia game.the game they stopped working on long before 16 released?
>>731592826we've reached the point where retards like you think it was even going to get one?
you guys do this cheerleading shit way too much. Imagine defending a game's quality or otherwise by spreging out about how it did or didn't sell.
>>731575351Would unironically make it a better game. The Ubisoft open world is the worst part of Afterbirth.
>>731575351>They will finally make it goodSo all it took was for them to consider the Switch’s limitations? I kneel tendies
>>731571571switch fags so starved for games that they have to buy a ps4 downgraded port.
>>731607971Anon...
>>731592216>Fantasy Life i in silver (not in the pic, but on listed on the actual chart)
>>731608253Barry did irreparable damage to the Final Fantasy "community"
>>731608936He’s just that powerful…
>>731571571It only makes sense. I only play Switch, and was waiting until it was ported over to get into it.
>>731608687you said game, not "app"
>>731609563"Powerful" is the wrong word. He dedicated literally his entire life for 15 years to aggressively shitposting about Final Fantasy sales across the entire internet, even using google translate to shitpost his same few talking points on 5ch. He even spent an entire year making 3,000 fake metacritic accounts to raise XV's user score while simultaneously lowering XVI's, and he did all of this manually. He traded his whole life away for his infamy within the online FF community. His incessant shitposting did pollute all Final Fantasy discussion though. He sacrificed his life so that no one could ever talk about Final Fantasy online ever again.
>>731592195>would be happier knowing people weren't buying the worst possible version currently out thereWhy should I care?
>>731592195>Can anyone explain to me the motivations of mindset of the individuals here who are deeply personally invested in seeing as many copies of this game being sold on the Switch 2 as possible?This is genuinely the ONLY thing that some people have going on in their lives. It's quite literally the exact same force that drives Barry.
https://wccftech.com/final-fantasy-vii-remake-part-3-unreal-engine-4/UE4 confirmed.
>>731610213Tell that to Genshin Impact too while you're at it
>>731610370Some Singapore investor who owns the most SE stock quoted multiple of his reviews shitting on XVI so they don't make that mistake again. He's done more than anybody to save Final Fantasy.
Remake already sold well before this.It's Rebirth that didn't. I wouldn't "celebrate" anything until Rebirth is released on Switch and see where the numbers are there.
>>731600167>/v/tards and other terminally-online gamers are still stuck in a 2015 mentality where "Nintendo consoles are only for the exclusives".>Ever since about 2018 or 2019 when the Switch 1 really started blowing up, Nintendo platforms have been huge for 3rd party JRPGs, indies, and big flagship Japanese franchises like Resident Evil.yeah third-parties are the reason why I bought a Switch 1, focused on it as my main gaming platform, and then I became a day-1 adopter of the Switch 2. Nintendo games are just an extra bonus.I don't particularly care for FF7R though but there is at least a dozen of titles (with only Fire Emblem and maybe Rhythm Heaven as 1st-parties) that I'm looking forward this year and we're just at the end of January.
>>731593204only EU and JP did have the glorious master race covers, US mutt need to have a "kweel" picture to sell the game there because they are low IQ
maybe rebirth 2 wont run like stuttering shit because they gotta account for switch 2 during dev
>>731612803I know you're very desperatre to shitpost, anon, but Barry's fake reviews got removed.
>>731592195>>731612351>Spends the last 10 months spamming the board that Switch 2 will flop>Spends the last 10 months spamming the board that 3rd party games on Switch 2 will flop>Neither happens and he gets rightfully laughter at>W-W-WHY DO YOU CARE HOW THEY SELL???? DO YOU OWN THEIR STOCKS OR SOMETHING??? CORPORATE BOOTLICKER!!!I don't care how it sells. I'll just make sure you won't be able to live it down
>>731613403>every single post I've ever disliked were all made by the same person, and now (You) are that personLike I said, for some people this is the ONLY thing in their lives. The Final Fantasy VII Remake has at least one "Barry" type character.
>>731613374Instead of quitting he went right back to work and achieved his goal. And let's not forgot he spearheaded the charge to tag XVI with LGBT causing massive financial damage with LGBTQ being the most filtered tag on Steam.Jealously is not a good look, friendo.
>>731571571>port still half assedThings are never going to change.
>>731613637nta but what the hell are you guys even going on about? is this some random /v/ schizo thing?
>>731613582You lost lmao
>>731613826My friend named Barry was so upset that XVI was not an rpg and that it contained gay men kissing that he decided to save FF by spamming thousands of negative reviews and convincing everyone on Steam to tag the game with LGBTQ+ to protect innocent people who were unaware.Basic hero stuff, honestly.
>>731614003you're friends with a /v/ schizo? why?
>>731613826He doesn't like that his antics were compared to Barry. He's a schizo. This post very literally describes him and he's upset about it: >>731612351
>>731613826ffxvi fanboys eternally butthurt because their boogieman barry trashed their game, so they spend their time falseflagging about him every chance they get
>>731614178nah, that's a ff fanboy thing in general.FF has the most retarded fanbase in gaming, no matter what game.
>>731614003Based Barry
Why would you samefag reply to yourself so obviously?
>>731588410The PS5 outsold the Switch 2 the week of Black Friday. The Switch 2 outsold the PS5 in November overall.
>>731614049Guess I'm more of a fan than his friend, but I owe him for saving me $70.
>>731614249Notice how all I did was describe something that Barry has done, and now he's talking about "ffxvi fanboys" and is angry at me and shitposting about XVI at me all because one of the things Barry has done is make fake metacritic reviews. He's lashing out at everyone just like Barry does, doing some dick measuring sales contest just like Barry does. He's Barry, but for Final Fantasy VII. You are right though, Final Fantasy is just a bunch of schizos. They all think they're talking to their bogeymen from Twitter, too. Like, literally. They think they are literally talking to their bogeymen from Twitter and YouTube here on 4chan.
I swear the FF fanbase is easily the most schizophrenic fanbase on /v/. There's multiple schizos for every single game, and none of them make any sense
Hey, If I wanted to play Final Fantasy, which one would I start with, so I don't get confused?
>>731614557Xenoblade 3
>>731603589God forbid devs have to optimize their games.
Also consider this. 7R on PS4 came out during Covid, so the game sold out at the time due to supply shortages. But that isn’t the case with the Switch2 port.
>>731614557Every numbered game is a new story and they don't connect, unless its a direct sequel, so FF7 and FF 8 have nothing to do with each other, but FF 7 remake and FF 7 Intergrade do. A good starting point is whatever game interest you the most, there's really no bad entry point
Awww modern FF being a cuck and oiling the JRPG wheels on Switch 2 so that Monolith Soft can ride right on through and run them over when they reveal their Switch 2 JRPG. BLESS.
>>731614602I think that's a different IP.Are all of the Final Fantasy games on the Switch?
>>731614730>I think that's a different IP.It's Nintendo's JRPG series. Don't play modern FF, it's fucking shit. FF hasn't been seen as good since 2010.
>>731614712Ok.This one it is.I will buy it and play it later this year.
>>731614557Expedition 33
>>731614716anon, Monolith Soft games barely sell on the most profitable console there is.Nintendo lets them do their thing because they're wizards with Switch hardware, and they want them around to optimize their more profitable games.Which is perfectly fine, but let's not pretend that Monolith Soft specific games are big sellers.
>>731614763I will try Xenoblade as well.I will download it to my Wii.
>>731571571>Tendies were literally seething because they just wanted to play itHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>731614813Who the fuck is talking about sales here? And how do you know Monolith Soft's next big JRPG won't sell more than this shit FF port on Switch 2?
>>731614829I want you to shut up.
>>731614829At this point they would even swallow ff14 despite all the shitposting and abib constantly nuking their threads kek
>>731571571>Final Fantasy VII Remake is selling like hotcakes on Switch 2 and topping all of the charts.>...by dropping the price>...and by compromising elements>BUT IT SOLD OUT SO ITS FINE
>>731614794Which one did you decide on?
>>731614864>S-shut upHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>731614534I really wish I had grown up playing a different series. It's really impossible to talk about this shit on 4chan because of all the schizos, and I will never go to Reddit, and I stopped using GameFAQs like 20 years ago.
>>731579137>P5 took longer for Switch>Once it came to the Switch, discussion and online traffic for 3h took a nosedive
>>731579565>Barry already changing the narrative after spending years mocking 7rHaha...
>>731574195They buy pcs though. Why would you need a ps or xbox if you have a pc?
>>731614851Someone explicitly talking about "riding right over" tends to indicate a metric of success.No one speaks of rolling/riding over in terms of quality, they talk about it being "better" in that case.
>>731579137Kek no, P5 had some schizo when it was on ps. 13 sentinels had the autistic translation schizo spamming the same pics over and over until it came to switch Anyone can check this
>>731578095>shitposting increases significantlyWhere is barry spamming the lgbt/same black NPCs and the passive agressive whale larping as a fanboy for 200 posts? There is way less shitposting when the op is the switch version
>>731615016Yeah it will be the better JRPG. Monolith Soft don't fuck about. They're building a big RPG on brand new stronger hardware.
>Game comes to different platform>It's suddenly good nowI hate console warring with a burning passion. I don't understand why 4chan doesn't just ban all 3rd worlders
>>731614902Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.
>>731573154>>731594890Agreeing with yourself won't change that this game was shitposted to death, even some threads moved to /vg/ till the switch version was out
>>731571571>XenoSlop fans like FF DemakeWoaw!
>>731615149Anon this thread was literally made to shit on Rebirth and XVI. Are you doing a bit or something?
>>731615202nta, but you might be mixing up threads.this thread was made to talk about Nintendo being a better primary platform for FF than other platforms after the success of 7R on Switch 2
>>731592034Remake sold well because nostalgia. Rebirth sold poorly because Remake was shit.
>>731615095Nintendo India, read about them
>>731571571>hate Remake and Rebirth>hate Nintendo and tendiesHow should I feel about this?
>>731615132Just a fair warning since you said you were new to the series, this is part of a trilogy of games, and only 2 out of the three are out so far. If you're planning to play on pc or ps5 then you have both of them, but the switch only has the first as of now. If possible I'd also recomend getting it on pc or ps so you can play the 2nd game afterwards if you like it and the third when it comes out. Although if you only have a switch the waiting probably won't be that bad.

>>731615308Happy that they're getting a shitty game, and if it sells alot you can call them slop eaters or something?
>>731615250You're right. It was a different thread full of Remake hate.
>>731615014>They buy pcs though. Why would you need a ps or xbox if you have a pc?If a Tendie had a PC, they wouldn't buy Final Fantasy VII Remake for Switch 2. Did you forget that Remake has been on PC for forever? God Tendies are so stupid.
>>731615151Xenofags always hated 7R
>>731615250Since this is the only comment in a while talking about the OP's point, I swear if square enix goes back to exclusivity but for nintendo they are absolutely the most retarded company in the world. Why is it so hard to release it on everything, even xbox
>game launches on ps5>heh pc vegans so jealous that they shitpost>it will be different when it comes to steam>bottom 5 rated ff game on steam>heh it really was tendies all along>watch everyone will say how good it is now>shitposting continues>heh i told you so>i agree with the guy above me>me too>btw did anybody notice how fire emblem threads don't get shitposted like these threads?>hmm i noticed that and agree with he poster who posted 1 minute agoevery single tiem
I find the betrayal to tbfags funny
>>731615587They've already been pretty vocal about going multiplatform. The Capcom model is getting noticed by a lot of Japanese devs.Main thing is that they might make sure that things are able to be ran on Switch 2 from Day 1 instead of bypassing it.
>>731615643>btw did anybody notice how fire emblem threads don't get shitposted like these threadsTo be fair, fire emblem fans hate each other almost as much as Final Fantasy fans do, they shitpost their own threads
>>731615251You already tried that cope. Remake won.
>>731615698Nobody gives a fuck about turn based, it's about keeping the FF ip for their favorite console.
>>731615718That would be impressive if they pull that off, I've seen so many games recently that either skip the switch or plain don't release for it that really could be played on that system and might do really well. I'm not even a big nintendo fan, I gravitate more towards playstation and sometime pc, but I can't even imagine how much that pisses of nintendo fans
>>731615643When trails was spammed by some schizo the fe thread was slow.
>>731615821nta but I used to give a shit about turn-based.put i found that i legitimately love the 7Rebirth combat system.which means after the 3rd game, they'll never touch that combat system again and spend all their resources reinventing everything all over again. because Square is filled with dumbasses.
>>731615587They won't go exclusive, pc market is too rich>But flopping...!It's a remake divided in 3 games, that was trapped inside ps5. It's not the same having a single game, multiplatform day one and having the game and the combat designed around its own game instead of trying to adapt to a remake of another game.
>>731615880To be fair, that was due to the Switch 1 being drastically lower spec than the other consoles. Look at the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1 (ignoring that the game itself isn't particularly great for a second).Switch 2 has made it more possible for companies to make Nintendo a main part of their release strategy.The CEO of Larian pretty undiplomatically straight out said the reason BG3 isn't getting a Switch 2 version is because of things breaking down with Hasbro/WotC, or else they'd love to make a port to it.
>>731615810Found part of the problem. Remove the LGBT and it might bump the score to 80%.
>>731615698I feel like if their other turn based games sold well they'd make FF turn based again, but if turnbased combat isn't going to result in more sales I can understand them trying to experiment. They should really just stick to one thing though, take remake's or XVI's combat and perfect it, you'll never get good combat if you disregard everything and never build on anything
>>731615954I think Capcom so far is the sole Japanese company who sells better on PC than any console.That's still enough for other Japanese devs to take it seriously though.
>>731571571is this the one with all the gays and blacksjapan has fallen lmfao
>>731616005>>731615897Yeah I can see them being retarded and dropping this but honestly? They spent a decade doing it, no reason to drop it. Hell they can do like Trails 1st, make it action and turn based Tbf I can see them breathing a lot better once they are out of the remake project. So far they seem to like their reimagined DQ7 so they can also make reimagined versions of other games (someone said ff13 kek)
>>731615976>Switch 2 has made it more possible for companies to make Nintendo a main part of their release strategy.You're absolutely right, but there's still old holdouts, like Gamefreak's new nonpokemon game, or like how metaphor isn't on wither switch even though I feel like it could run on the original if optimized. I wonder if it's just laziness and not wanting to optimize for "old" hardware.
>>731615985>72 recentOof. The problem with putting the game on such deep sales is that more people get access and the negative word of mouth increases even more.
>>731615880>I've seen so many games recently that either skip the switch or plain don't release for itWeird because those games skipping Nintendo keep getting fewer and fewer in numbers. Unless you count AAA western shit but lol.Japanese third-parties don't have much the luxury of choice to skip Nintendo nowadays since they still wanna sell their games in their home country, and I'm not surprised that certain past projects decided to focus for the "global audience" as a massive cope for the shift in the Japanese market.
>>731616537>Weird because those games skipping Nintendo keep getting fewer and fewer in numbersBut they still exists which is my point, and it's not just western AAA. In another post I mentioned gamefreak's new game or metaphor as examples, both of those are game which feel really weird skipping the switch, since they'd probably sell really well there
>>731616664>But they still exists which is my point, and it's not just western AAA. In another post I mentioned gamefreak's new game or metaphor as examples, both of those are game which feel really weird skipping the switch, since they'd probably sell really well thereGame Freak already make billions on Switch with Pokemon. Theyre not desperate to release that new game of theirs on Switch 2.
>>731615323Ok.
why do gamers get happy whenever whatever company or whatever makes money? are you earning that money too or something? what a weird consumer cultalso the best and complete version of that game came out almost 30 years ago
>>731616982Chill out mr boring
>>731616794I don't really care about lining company pockets, I'm talking about how it's weird to not release a game on an entire system, especially one where a lot of people would probably want to play it on. I'm not talking about sales as in money, I'm talking sales as in a person playing your game. But if we are talking about sales, I feel like it's still retarded to not put it on a platform where it would sell well and more than make up for the development costs to port to it. Unless nintendo is just really hard to work with or something, I just see no reason not to, and I doubt that's the case
>>731616664Japanese games skipping Nintendo are still going to exist for whatever reason but they're becoming a minority each passing month, especially as the Switch 2 has caught up with the other hardware machines in an era of high diminishing returns.If anything the reverse is happening at a slow but increasing rate, more and more games especially in the niche kind are skipping Playstation more these days (like the new Experience RPG, the Kowloon remake, visual novels from certain publishers or 2hu licensed fangame).Back in 2015 or 2016, you'd be seen as downright delusional to ever think these third-partie synonymous with Playstation would ever land on Nintendo, in droves, even as mere ports. But again, this has more to do with Sony Interactive deliberately sabotaging the Japanese market in nearly a decade and Nintendo getting all the benefits in return.
square i need you to port the collection and 3 to switch. you have zero excuses now. they will fucking sell
>>731617101>I don't really care about lining company pockets, I'm talking about how it's weird to not release a game on an entire system, especially one where a lot of people would probably want to play it onCause they already make billions with Pokemon.
Didn’t tendies make daily threads dragging this game through the dirt?
>>731615880the funny part is investors askin why the fuck are companies are not making switch versions of games.
>>731591629square making their stuff exclusive to sony for decades eroded their brand and now they're trying to fix that.
>>731571571>crawling back to nintendo like usual
>>731571571I mean I would hope square knows that Nintendo Fans are also huge RPG lovers. that's basic common sense.
>>731617704Now you realize /v/ is like 200 people, 50 bots and a few chimps
>>731617704Piss5 version is still shit.It just doesn't feel right
I have to assume these are actually good sales and not just Square Enix undershipping because there's no way they'd do that with Game Key Cards which cost next to nothing to produce since they're glorified plastic, right?
>>731573154But the game had problems when I played it on PC>retarded shit like that lab under the sector>retarded shit like the ghost jannies>retarded shit like having to go back to the sewers before that guy lets you climb up the plate>retarded shit like hojos lab>retarded shit like re 13 not being a playable character>retarded shit like sephiroth constantly popping up and then the retarded ending which made zero fucking senseThey could have spent less dev time, spent less money and ended up with a much better game if they cut so much contentAlso fuck chadley.
Congrats tendies, now all Squeenix Switch 2 games will be game key cards
>>731618041Shut up and eat your sloppy seconds toddler
>>731577005How is that even possible, Square Enix weren't even smart enough to just reuse content from Remake, they remade all the assets from the original game, yes those are new models that are much higher poly, this game struggles to run on a PS5, it struggles to run on a decent PC, I have no idea what their plan for getting it to run on the Switch 2 is, unless they upscale from like 360p or something absurd like that, but Square Enix have shown that there is no low that's above them.
>>731617704No, I started dragging this game through the dirt after I beat it.
>>731617704Yep
>>731617842>We tendies have better taste AAIEEEEE TAKE MY MONEY SQUARE ENIX LMAO
>>731615760>they shitpost their own threadsSo do Final Fantasy fans.
What happened?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx9k7J63660Square Enix had Xbox firmly plugged into their rectum a few years ago with Xbox being Visions of Mana's leading platform, and now they don't even talk about the Xbox release of FFVII remake, what gives, why support Xbox above Nintendo hardware only a few years ago to turn that around completely today.
>>731613582It seems you were right and he did NOT like being called out on it
>>731618187we had stories of XVI topping all the charts and selling out and being the fastest selling PS5 game for a month or two before the copeposting burst and SE themselves admitted the sales weren't good
My favourite thing on /v/ is when you say something normal and some guy replies "you lost" and you realise he's actually in the middle of a months-long (if not years-long) autism battle with some other anon who he sees in every post he dislikes.
>>731618698That's on Microsoft and Microrats, not Square. Microsoft killed Xbox in November of 2008 and never recovered. Microrats buy the same garbage all the time and don't even try anything new or different. Phil's sorry ass has to keep paying out of his ass to get these games on Xbox, but the writing is clearly on the wall and Xbox is dying. Microsoft going third party signals the end of Xbox. After the games that were announced years ago as Xbox exclusives get released for PlayStation and possibly Switch 2, don't expect Microsoft to ever make games with that level of budget again. They're going to cut down on everything. They didn't kill their AA studios because that's Microsoft's future in gaming, Halo isn't even made by Halo Studios because Microsoft purposely gutted that studio. Wouldn't be surprised if several studios go independent and get their IPs back in the process. Phil's era is fast track coming to an end.
>>731577005>>731577323>tendies now LOVE exclusives>they still don't count as "games" for other consoles thoughexplain this logic
>>731615810>84%>72%>In 2010+>Good
>>731615498>Xenofags always hated 7ROnly because it wasn't on Switch, now they have to pretend it's a good game.
>>731619248Nice projection, Eric.
