When Rebirth fails to win GOTY we are going to see 2m suicides.The changes to society and to this board will be historic.
So a legitimate improvement then on the world then?
>no more Aeirht threads>no more pajeet marketing for SE threads>no more thinly veiled waifu-advertisement hreads>no more autistic number score-spamming>no more shitting on literally every other RPG>no more posting from Larry, ever>no more civil war in the JRPG genreI see literally no downside to this.
The sequel is coming out before your shitty series gets a new game.
>>695013501Wouldn't we also get rid of all Barryposting too since he'd have no one to argue with?
>>695013501none of theee things will stop happening
>>695013750Yes. We'd be free from it all.>>695013797You're right, we'd only need the shills to disappear.
>>695013501there are no downsides
>695013742You need medical assistance.
>>695013338/v/ would at least improve a ton.
OP, /v/ doesn't actually play games.
I didn't vote for it because it was supposed to be a PS3 game and we got shafted after 19 years, fuck SE

>>695014017Mentally ill.
>>695014004This. I was hyped when it was shown off for the PS3 but over a decade later the hype has turned to resentment.
>>695013338one can only dream
>>695013750
>>695014036that's what happens when your shit company can only sell 1 million copies while being multiplatform.
>>695014180the game is shit, not even a 4 niggas in a row as it should
>>695013742will it though? it's probably going to take 5 years for it to come out and monhun wilds is next year.
>yourHow deep in is Larry at this point? How far gone are you to think like this?
>>695014017Meanwhile
>>695014316Larry is not a normal person. His mental health cannot be improved by modern medicine. We are decades from curing what he has.
>>695014017Part 2
>>695014367>>695014419Christ alive what has happened to this individual? I am not in the know on the deep lore here but people shouldn't function like this.
>>695014017Part 3
>>695014017Part 4
>>695013338I have a ps5.I do not care about FF shit.I do not care about remake shit.
>>695014367>>695014419>>695014460meanwhile you are almost up to 3k https://arch.b4k.co/v/search/text/redditbirth/
>>695014519This. I am also white.
>>695014520The main difference is all my examples are just you, calling FF7 "Redditbirth" is used by both shitposters and falseflaggers.
>>695014457He's always doing this shit. Lashing out at anything that isn't SE's newest horseshit. You know those interns that never really make it above their station at companies but somehow cling to their jobs as if it mattered?That's Larry.
>>695014457pretty much every pro-Rebirth post made on this site is just one dude with severe schizophrenia
CDPR won
>>695013338>Retarded remake fans/people retarded enough to still consume anything square puts out dying en masseGod I hope so.
https://arch.b4k.co/v/search/subject/Polygon%20Metaphor%20/type/op/
>>695014636They are oddly similarly phrased aren't they.
>>695014716Think about it Anon: aware and critical consumers. What a dream.
>>695014638You will never be a woman and Rebirth will never be GOTY. It dies pitifully at 2m sales.
>>695013338Obligatory, Yoshi-P is a hack. Get fucked you loser, fans actually had a better grasp of intrinsically what an actual FF game is more than you. Nomura is redeemed a little in my mind because he still had some fundamental understanding what makes a good FF game.
>>695014586and yet it still flows so nicely off the tongue
lurkin
>>695015003>what makes a good FF gamTo bad he refuses to make one.
>>695015180
>>695014998So it sold more than every other JRPG this year while still being exclusive? Based, no wonder SE stock is going back up.
>>695013338>>695013501I wish.if only it were that easy to get autistic people to kill themselves.what is it about Nomura projects that only attracts autists anyway? is it because they're the only ones who can't see how embarrassing the writing is?
>>695015237>backYeah, the lowest-selling Final Fantasy game since The After Years. Fuck, FF1 outsold this trash.
>>695015272>the only series that can compete with FF is it's own seriesBASED FFGODS
Resetera game
>>695015358And far more worrying:>jeet game
the gulf between online hysteria about playstation games and their actual impact on the media is hilariousthese total mediocrities are always artificially elevated by the journos who're all the equivalent of pajeet viral marketers and then you see the sales and it's basically what the last tales of game did lmao
>>695013338That data they used included demo players. It's likely less than 2 million.
>>695015429i think its under 500k
>>695015358LGBT inclusion is important to FF fans.
>>695015419You're completely right. The journalistic component of video game culture is shriveling up. They barely have any effect on sales anymore as numbers keep falling.
>>695015469That's true, most of them ARE fags.
>>695015358>>695015469So this is why it's on all the dei detection lists.
>>695015398kek
>>695015398I bet one of those jeets is in this thread right now crying about Sega being the superior company.
>>695015419at some point even the most basic normalfag has to have realized that these people are all grifters
>>695015804Oh you know it, look above and I'm sure even a toddler could recognize his posts.
>>695015804So does Sega not hire dalit jeets or something? Why is he so mad at this?
I don't care who wins as long as larry kills himself in seethe
>>695015983It is the fury of failure. When the company you work for has a AAA hyper-flop on their hands as their once most sought after IP withers all he can do is shout and scream.
>>695016059thisi just voted for the most popular games that are most likely to win to make sure their lead stays far ahead of flopbirth
>>695016059Metaphor really fucking broke Larry. God I hope he expires soon.
>>695016059>everyone who makes fun of metaflop is one personLol
>>695015358Kek that explains all the troons being so defensive over stillbirth
Alright enjoy the samefagging till bump limit while Rebirth outsold every JRPG this year as an exclusive.
>>695016314Everyone can recognize your posts larry. You're not as smart as you think
>>695016371You should post it's sales. That will teach everyone.
>>695016420This. Honestly Larry needs either new material or a new posting style. I can smell his brown skin through the screen at this point.
>>695016365Larry is a literal homosexual who makes the twink threads. Of course Redditbirth is his favorite game.
>>695016371>https://www.gematsu.com/2024/05/dragons-dogma-ii-sales-top-three-millionExcept that's not true either! HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
>>695016562OHNONONO AHAHAHAHAHHA
>>695016562lmao
>>695016562Larry is a subhuman mongoloid retard. Expecting him to understand numbers is asking too much, which is why he always seethes the most as everyone laughs at Rebirth's sales.
>>695016562kek larry suicide when?
>>695016562Is Elden Ring considered a JRPG? Cus it's also losing to it's DLC.
>>695013338>If ff wins tendies will say it won for being dei>If ff doesnt win tendie will mock ff for not winning gotyLmao
>>695016816>Cus it's also losing to it's DLC.>it'sDiscarded.
>>695015358>>695015469Ohnononono
>>695016562This must ave have taken 5 seconds to google and Larry is already in tears. Notice how he completely stopped posting now? He's given up.
>>695016529This is somehow gayer than the 2 faggots kissing in 16.
>>695017063Remember when they went back to retroactively censor Remake? There's officially precedence for that now.Tifa will be in her burka before you know it.
>>695017063Based lister!
>>695016371Did you give up larry? Did the mean anon with the link to dragon's dogma frighten you?
>>695013338>less than DD2 it’s actually over this time. The fantasy was final
>>695013338every time I need something to cheer me up the low sales of Flopbirth make me happy
With 1 post Larry was banished from the thread. Imagine a board without him. Forever. That's what can be attained.
>>695016371What is that pic? Source?
>>695013338Still coping? KEK
>FF7 used to be one of the biggest titles in the entire industry back during the first playstation era>all the journos onionfaced to the max when the remake was announced, le legendary E3 with dream gaymes like shenmue 3 and the last guardian!!!>no one cares about it anymore, sales are cratering, the third entry will likely be a disasterwhat the fuck happend?
>>695018058Square merged with Enix and lost their best tard-wrangler.
>>695013338>When Rebirth fails to win GOTY we are going to see 2m suicides.Why would I kill myself because some game I own does or doesn't win an award? Why would I or anyone else give any fuck?
>>695018212Because you argue as if your entire identity depends on it?
>>695018279What? No I don't
>>695018436Alrighty then.
>>695013338I understand your frustration but Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the best game this generation so far and nothing you say will change that fact.
>>695017191>I'm sick of all of this!Get in line.
>>695018554but le heckin sales !!!!how can game = good when sales = low ????
>>695018554It must be hard to accept the fact that nobody agrees with you.
>>695015358fet woke go broke. the only thing that sucks about redditbirth flopping se out of billions is the cancellation of all the aa games.
>>695018058They gypped the audience by making a sequel disguised as a remake, stuffed it with abysmally bad, terribly paced padding, as well as soulless dialogue and characterization the company has become known for since FFXIII, introduced time jannies and awful fanfiction-tier characters that don’t mesh at all with the original cast and plot, as well as brought back other equally terrible characters from Nomura’s previous fanwanks, and to top it off held it hostage for years on a single platform that nobody bought unless you wanted to play it at 10 fps on the base ps4.The sequel was obviously always going to sell less, given all the above and the fact its player base is limited to people who played the first game but they fucked it up even further by again sticking it on a platform nobody bought.They could have still saved it had they bundled the two games for like 100 bucks when rebirth came out for new players to get the full story so far, but it’s a Japanese company so forward thinking like this is literally beyond their capacity.
>April 2024 articlefaggot
>>695018883Good post. I completely agree with you.
>>695018943Oh yes, this has surely greatly improved since then! Why don't you enlighten the plebs ITT and share a link to Square Enix's official sales number announcement so that we may bask in their massive success?
>>695019017most of the industry don't report unit numbers anymore. Rebirth is doing just fine, and part 3 is in development.
>>695019180>most of the industry don't report unit numbers anymorenintendo and capcom do in every new quarter, must have something to do with the fact they akshually sell games!!!
>>695019234keep seething, the game is doing fine
>>6950192752m
>>695019180>>695019275And there are, a swift surrender.
>>695019305yeah as of april. The game didn't magically stop selling because of your headcanon
>>695019383Kinda did actually.

>>695019641give me the numbers from the official source that rebirth sold 2 million copies and stopped selling right there and then?

>>695019890My dude it's not even on the best selleling list of RPGs, and that's a fucking short list.
>>695019890I can't find this. Are you sure you're en-us?

>>695020060Nope, not a thing. Even when sorting by Best Selling.>>695020046Or you're lying.
>>695013501Same lol, let it happen.
>>695020113stop replying to me retard, the game is the 25th best selling full price game on the store as of today, not my fault you can't use filters. Also when a game does poorly, it goes on sale. It never happened for Rebirth.
>>695020268>get BTFO>gets mad>"s-stop replying!"The fragility of the Stillbirthers ego.
>>695019758dude i can't find it either, is that an old screenshot?if so kek, new lo
>>695020367I'm not mad, you're just making shit up, the game didn't bomb, it wasn't the biggest hit, it's doing just fine. Oh it didn't meet square's expectations. No shit, like every fucking game they released in the last decade because their expectations are retarded
>>6950204742m sales is floppa my man. Stay upset though, the thought of your brown hands hammering out cope for a company who doesn't know you exist brings me more joy than Rebirth has ever bought anyone.
>>695020471
>>695020632If someone accuses you of having an old screenshot, going out of your way to shop it ontop of a browser isn't that far off. If you can't link it it doesn't exist.
>>6950206162 million isn't "floppa" it's fine, not great not bad, just fine, which is what i've been repeating
>>695020774Yeah, I'm sure the game from the 90s (also exclusive, by the way) that sold 15m and cost 1/10th as much to make isn't desirable at all in the eyes of 2m.
>>695020774>2 million isn't "floppa" it's fine
>>695020761okay then see for yourself by using the 60-79.99 tag.Page 225th best selling game.jesus fucking christ.https://store.playstation.com/en-us/pages/browse
I bought the remake on release and hated it. The remake did so much damage that I didn't even bother with rebirth.
>>695020883NTA, but my man you need medication.
>>695020992Is that big enough?
>>695013338I don't know a single person who has played redditbirth
I'm pretty sure most of the people who bought this game don't care enough about it winning an award to do thatand you're still going to have FF infight shit flinging just because it got a gorillion nominations in one of the worst years for commercial games in decades
>>695021076I don't see it at all. Either you're lying, or you've got cookies or some shit that's influencing the list because there is no Rebirth to be had on that list.
>>695021114Me neither. Most people jumped off when they realized Remake was a lie.
>>695018883fucking thiseven the dumbest normalfag will wake up eventually
>>695016562DD2 recently announced only 300k more sales since then. It's sitting at 3.3m and #6 on America charts. Redditbirth is at #12 so it will probably never hit 3 million.
>>695013338>2m copies soldlmao what a flop, snoys definitely don't buy games.
>>695021212well i don't know what else to tell you, that's what I'm seeing on this list. And wukong isn't the top selling for me, it's black ops 6. which is curiously absent from >>695020992who's lying here?
>>695021314Square Enix likes to announce sales like that.
>>695021353I don't know anymore man. Maybe you're lying or he's lying or maybe you think I'm lying to you. But hey, at least you tried to prove a point, which is more than most people on this site do so kudos for that I guess, lie or not.
>>695021349They do, the game just has to be good.
>>695021509kek, really? like what
Does this mean that Nier Automata has sold better than Rebirth and 16 combined?
>>695021574Spider-Man 2 sold 11m exclusively to the PS5.
>>695021603It took 7 years for automata to sell 7 million copies. It took 3 for FF7 remake
>>695021603How much has Nier sold?
>>695021665>remakeThat's wasn't what Anon said though was it?>>695021603And yes, yes it has.
>>695021779XVI has been out for 1 year and 5 monthRebirth has been out for 8 monthsHe's comparing them to a 7 year old game for some reason
>>695021950So what? You drew the first fallacy here when you compared it to a different fucking game. Backpedaling now makes you look a little desperate.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1246861/nier-automata-units-sold/
>>695022080I was just pointing out the likely time for XVI and Rebirth to reach Nier's numbers based on Remake?
>>695019548>2.3k digitalWow you really showed him.
>>695022170But basing two weaker selling games on a stronger selling one is still pic related. Surely you see that?
>>695016562Larry about to lose it
>>695022294May we finally be rid of him.
>>695022290and your pic applies to the nonsensical comparison of a 7 year old vs 1.5year and 8months games? Remake's performance is th closest indicator as to what to expect from these titles..... which are part for the franchise being compared to Nier......
>>695013338cope
>>695013338GOTY lost all value the moment an 81 game got in
>>695022416>#4 IN US AMAZON PS5 LATINO CHARTS>#2 IN ENGLISH BBC INTERNAL GAMERS POLL>#1 IN UGANDAN WOMEN'S CHOICE AWARDS>ask for actual numbers>it's a major flop that caused SE stock to tankSame story with XVI. Nobody buys final fantasy anymore
>>695022416So nothing then.
>>695022416Massive flop, then.
16 and Rebirth are currently on sale for €15 and €35 in my country.
>>695022645Yes but you live in euro shithole so who the fuck cares?
>>695021630LOL
>>695022645I wouldn't get them for free. Can't even wipe my arse with them
Why do some people get so emotionally involved in video game sales discussions?
>>695022741It's what happens when you structure your entire personality around pretending to have played a JRPG that came out in the 90s.
>>695022416this is exactly the kind of retarded talking points shills used for astrobot and it ended up selling 1.5 million copies lmao>almost number one best selling game on the polish market!>best selling sony exclusive platformer for that one week it released in!!!>very good sells not expensive game so joyful dear sir!!!!!grim
>>695022741I would guess the frustration of seeing retards cherry picking information ignoring the rest and the context because it doesn't fit their narrative
>>695022741Fanboys are broken souls, and will ALWAYS triple down when the franchises they cheer for die pitifully.
>>695013338I bought and played it through on launch and honestly it fucking sucks. I'll kill myself if it wins anything. It's everything wrong with games, condensed into one bloated package.
>>695023257true, remember those sad saps defending kingdom hearts 3?
>>695023446Don't worry, you'll live to see 100 at this rate.
>>695015469cant wait to mod out all the subhumans when it releases on pc.
>>695013338India is pretty overpopulated as it is, it'll be fine.
>>695024494he's right y'know
all the goty nominations were great games but I got the most hours out of Rebirth and enjoyed every second
It's a trapThey will win every other category outside GOTYFROMslop will instead win GOTY
>>695013338TGAs really is just some delusion. If Final Fantasy is struggling for relevance how can it even be nominated for game of the year? Review scores shouldn't matter.
>>695013338Probably not.The suicides are going to happen if Part 3 happens, and Aerith is still dead.That Aerith fag who keeps spamming /v/ will have a few days of absolute sperging on /v/, then suddenly disappear
>>695022741>errrrm y do u care about sales sweatie???nice try but sales are an objective metric determining a game or franchise popularity and relevance and in the case of final fantasy the sales trajectory is a disaster showing that the series is on its last legs
>>695025023>Final Fantasy is struggling for relevance>FFXIV is always constantly nominated
I cared about sales when Remake was released, but since then I have matured and sales don't matter for Rebirth.
>>695013338Barry would win either way.
>>695025212j you back from the dead?Didn't expect 7 nominations eh
>>695025212FFags have consistently been the worst sales shitters on this board and it's funny watching all their games flop.
>>695025212This. I'm still waiting to see if goty matters or not.
>>695025149I mean outside the bubble. If it's so good why is it selling worse than Final Fantasy XIII-2?
>>695013338>>695013501To be free of this degeneracy forever... I pray it so.
>>695025695>it doesn't countlollmao
>>695025149Oh my friend you don't want to scorepost in this day and age.
>>695013338I don't care who wins GOTY. It just better not be Metaslop.That lazy piece of shit Persona reskin better not be rewarded.
>>695026010real talk though did astrobot just get praised because it came out right after the concord shitshow?
>>695026083I don't think Metaphor will take GOTY. That probably goes to Astrobot or Wukong (Geoff literally gave an award to Tencent for some environmental shit recently, he is clearly for sale).Metaphor is probably taking home best RPG though.
remember that your vote doesn't matter at allplayer's choice is the only meaningful category
>>695026223Getting a little antsy are we?
I'm not buying till on PC.
>>695026223Wukong wins
>>695026183Yeah, Sony DESPERATELY needed a win and I'm pretty sure they were willing to pay handsomely for gamers to focus on [new thing] and forget Concord.It didn't work, obviously, but they tried.
>>695026306yeah tencent is on the advisory board so if it wins geoff is getting some nice funding from china
>>695026183of courseblatant marketer speak in every review, there's no way anyone is going to remember some kirby tier nothing platformer 6 months from now
>>695026192>Metaphor is probably taking home best RPG though.Maybe. But that's not really the point. If Rebirth doesn't take the actual GOTY though then Larry will hang himself and this board will mock its existence forever.Along with the brown hands that pretend otherwise.
Historic changes indeed when Astrobot takes it. 140million nintyfags to be exact lmao
>>695026597Considering 90% of the vote comes from people who have already claimed it Game of the Year I don't think taking the prize is off the table.
>>695013338>Sold half a million less in it's whole life than the C team Zelda sidegame sold in less than a week>Cost multiple times the budget to make as wellThat's incredibly grim it true
>>695026916Imagine the budget. The millions upon millions just in marketing, while Zelda rolls out to ready audience with naught but a thread or two.
kek tendies malding they got no nominations
>>695024775Based retarded shit eating trans ally
>>695027282?
>>695024775>>695027282>trans ally>Not 1 single metaphor vote. Do better

>>695028649>how did he go from mentally ill to being mentally ill
Hey, you came back Larry. Didn't get thoroughly enough destroyed in >>695016562?
imagine the xv-kun meltdown if this wins gotyhe already lost it last year when it won most anticipated game
>>695029467Yeah, only for it to come out to 2m sales and turning it into the boards favorite laughing stock.
>>695016562Reposting for visibility
>>695029553Good thinking Anon. We wouldn't want him to think hes welcome back.
>>695026916crazy how zelda completely surpassed final fantasy even in japan in many ways the original ff7 represent all the issues that are starting to bite sony and the industry as a whole in the ass (focus on narrative and presentation, tons of cutscenes, huge budget including marketing etc) while nintendo are vindicated about their strategy
>>695029658And it's not even a good game.
>>695029516>and turning it into the boards favorite laughing stockbut enough about Dragon's Dogma 2
>>695029863See >>695029553, and >>695029287 and of course: >>695016562
Ayo Cloud posting is the only fun thing to come out of Redditbirth.
>>695029920Hey now that's not true, it's also been incredibly fun to see it outscored again and again.
>>695029920I think my favorite part has been watching its sales shrivel up next to the already monumental failure that was XVI.
>>695029908I like Dragon's Dogma 2, but it definitely is this board's biggest disappointment of the year.I know huge fanboys of the game who didn't even vote for it in the best RPG category.
>>695030169Still sold more than Flopbirth!
>>695013338How could it get GOTY, it's not even a complete game yet. Plus it won GOTY from a bunch of gaming magazines in 97, with the runner up being Goldeneye.
>>695030193I'm not a shitposter so I don't obsess over sales.Sales mean nothing here, considering DD2 wasn't even nominated for GOTY.
>>695030087not to mention all the fun cope
>>695030256>IT DOESN'T COUNT OKAY!?!?!I'm pretty sure you're a shitposter.
>>695030334What doesn't count?
>>695030256>nominatedSince when did this fucking matter? You're game already lost GOTY to Wukong (seriously for fucks sake are we still pretending that isn't in China's pocket already?) and is probably not taking best RPG either.
>>695030474My game? I didn't make it.I like both DD2 and FF7Rb.I'm just stating that it's odd that DD2 wasn't nominated despite selling more than FF7Rb. I'm well aware China has already paid for Wukong's win.
>>695030627Oh I'm not the Anon you started this conversation with, you are nothing to to me, genuine or shitposter.
>>695030718
>>695030759Yes yes, very nice, however: 2m.
>>695030742Holy fuck I haven't seen this since like 2015
>>695030928>2mThat's tekken numbers in february.Rebirth has been ahead of it in US, EU and JP.
>>695013501>no more civil war in the JRPG genreThere is no civil war. There is just Larry in his infinite retardation versus everyone else.
>>695013742SaGa already got two games this year tho
>>695031126Wonderful, prove it with official numbers as you failed to do last time when you were bullied out of this thread.
>>695013338i don't think anyone watches for the awardsjust for trailers and cringe
>>695013338Every single FF hater on this site is a leftist or a joyless black pilled pussy.
>>695031336Or white.
>muh sales>better selling game not nominated for GOTY>THAT DOESN'T COUNT YOUR GAME FLOPPED REEEEEEEEEEE
>>695031384And yet the only one to laugh at is yourself. When it fails to win goty, and it will, wukong has it on lock, I will be certain to remind you of it.
>>695013353Only if you like hack-and-slash battle systems and a game that looks more western than Japanese. >>695013338It was crap. The real FF7 fans dug in to keep on embracing the original which Sweet baby or any other gang of fags can never take away.
>>695031314that's probably true
>>695031314I don't even watch, personally. I just laugh at whatever people thought would win and YouTube the few interesting trailers later (if they exist).
>>695013338But what if it wins? Is that even possible?
>>695032024Nah, Wukong has more money to throw and the other games have better score handed to them by the journalists who pick GOTY. The chance is 0.
>>695031225>tekken 2million before rebirth even releasedhttps://rectifygaming.com/tekken-8-sold-over-2-million-copies-in-its-first-month/>Rebirth ahead of it in march already for yearly US sales and is still ahead today despite only launching on ps5https://gamedevreports.substack.com/p/circana-the-us-gaming-market-in-march>Tekken8 Japan launch numbers (less than 10% of rebirth on PS)https://www.gematsu.com/2024/02/famitsu-sales-1-22-24-1-28-24
>>695031314>>695031928Awardsfags follow the same logic as salesfags. If the game you like wins then you can use that as an objective marker of a game's quality. Rebirth has to be good. It won game of the year. Everyone saying otherwise are just coping. If the game you like loses then suddenly they don't matter. Who cares if Rebirth didn't win? Those awards are given by NPCs anyway. Anyone who uses them as an objective marker of quality is just a sheep looking up a top 10. And then you just option select to whatever argument matches your feelings at the time.
>>695032134>rectifygaming>famedevreports>gematsuSo nothing then?
>>695032024It could but launching in Feb hurts it vs Metaphor. Astro Bot will lose because once people rightfully ignore IP wank its just a good platformer and that isn't enough to win.
>>695032204Read the articlesCircana and Famitsu are also reliable
>>695032170You are 100% correct.
>>695031541i don't give a fuck what winsits just funny seeing you retards constantly backtrack
>>695032270>giving journos clicksNah.>Famitsu are also reliableFinally, something we agree on.
>>695032108P5 Royal lost to 7 Remake in 2020, it could still happen. Its also got overall less critic reviews than Rebirth so less potential voting power
>>695021665>FF7 remakebait and switchyoull never see those numbers on the sequels
>>695032285Constantly backtrack from what? The flop in sales? Being outgunned by 3 different titles in score? Selling less than XVI over the same time despite the PS5 having a bigger audience? The lack of a sales announcement from SE? Being locked to the PS5 Pro for the foreseeable future?Barry hasn't given an inch since this game released, the only ones backtracking are the dwindling supporters of this bastardization of a remake.

why are shitposters so obsessed with sales
>>695032972Yeah SE were charitable with the purse this year. But can they beat China?
>>695033101last resort when you have no actual criticisms of a game
>>695033101Because they are an objective measurement of value.

people only care about the sales of this sloppa because it's pisser 5 exclusive
>>695033752that battle is long since lost
>>695033885People loved talking about sales of Dragon's Dogma 2 and that wasn't exclusive to shit.
>>695033885I'd argue people only care about it at all because it's on the PS5. If this shit had been locked to the Switch we'd never see another thread about it.
>>695034219>If this shit had been locked to the Switchtrue, that would mean the game would look bad since it is the shitch But since it is a proper game...
>>695033317>>695033852you people are not well
>>695034289Yeah that must have been why it sold so poorly.
>>695033317Can't wait for your suicide larry. Please stream it

>>695034535Oh ill be fine, thanksas long as metaflop doesnt win, and thats pretty much a given
>>695034535I for one will be recording the event to make sure it can be held close forever.
>>695034673Why? Her voice rapes the ear and you just want her to win because you orbit around her.
>>695034673I wish Barret got the nomination here but she did well.
>>695034673>grifts on hopeless simps with too much moneyI wish i liked her, but she is just another woman on the internet now.
>>695034673>whoring yourself our for a failed politician of all thingsThe shame this bitch brings is beyond words.
>>695034673I wonder how many cocks she's had to take to even get nominated. Her performance was average at best, so her belly and cunt must overflow to even warrant mentioning.
>>695034785>implying you wouldn't fuck her
>>695033736nobody here thinks that far aheadnow that someone has posted a slut this thread is heading for the 500s

>>695035682>yuffie had a thing for zack god this shit is so stupidhow can anyone like this Compilation garbage
>>695036386It's just very very ship-bait. Which is ironically the only people who actually care about this franchise, any actual fans left long ago as reflected in sales.
>>695036386she HAD, when she was a kid.
>>695036273>it's just way too over-the-topThis is a problem with most of the cast. Watch some of the cutscenes in this game. Notice how either the characters won't stop moving or the camera won't stop moving. Even if the most basic shit. I'm not asking for shot reverse shots but surely there are times when SE can put down the fucking camera, stop cutting, or have the characters stop moving
>>695036523>This is a problem with most of the castThis is not a problem at all.Look at metaphor. The cutscenes are genuinely the most boring shit ever where they just talk talk and talk and 0 body language.
>>695036523the rest of the cast is fineyuffie just acts like a special-ed child
>>695036523this style appeals to adhd sufferers and schizophrenics which is pretty much rebirths entire audience now
>>695036504yeah that's fucking stupid
>>695021603Nier Automata has sold more than P5, DQ11, and KH3, that ass has gone a far ways
>>695036589Are you arguing that because A is bad then B must be good? Because I'm pretty sure I said>I'm not asking for shot reverse shots but surely there are times when SE can put down the fucking camera, stop cutting, or have the characters stop movingWhy does Barrett to move around like a wacky inflatable tube man in the most basic conversations? Why do characters bob their heads up and down like they're in Red vs Blue circa 2010? Surely there's a middle ground where they can tone it down without being lifeless right?
>>695036828>unshaved animals
>>695013338I'm glad FF is finally getting the sales it deserves. Fucking shit series.
>>695013338I unironically believe that Rebirth being allowed to be in the running for GOTY is even worse than allowing Elden Ring DLC. I never vote for this shit since it's all decided by the corpos anyway but this years lineup is exceptionally shit.
>>695037072RE4make was nominated last year wasn't it
All these threads we could have been spared if SE just announced the sales. The fact that they didn't must point to catastrophic outcome considering they always announce FF sales.
>>695036898>Why does Barrett to move around like a wacky inflatable tube man in the most basic conversations? This is just not true. It entirely depends on the context of the cutscene. Most of this happens when the cutscene is supposed to be funny an energetic. When the scenes are serious, they dont move like this.However im not suprised you people cant even understand context. The dude posted Yuffie date, the moment thats supposed to portray a happy bonding moment between cloud and Yuffie that portrays them as brother and little sister. Yuffie is just happy doing stuff and since shes a teenager, she has all the right to move around. Simple as. Shes a teenager and energetic. Neither tifa or aerith moves like her, it gives her personality and life.
>>695035172kek this
What song are they going to play, cause they played the theme song last year already.

>Short of blowing everyones dick off, Part 3 will be capped to less than 2 million salesSooooo....Is SE just gonna resign itself into losing over a hundred million dollars on this project? I'm at a bit of a loss.
>>695042432>he actually thinks SE only makes money through sales
>>695042432Probably, yeah. They're in too deep to turn back now but part 3 will probably be heavily downsized in multiple areas to match the new expected profit.
>>695042573I suppose that's the only thing that makes sense, make the most conservative and budget friendly part 3 within reason.
>>695013338Bayo 3 won gaming culture
>>695042826They have a new CEO who's probably not interested in losing face so early in his position, portioning the budget to the low sales of Rebirth is the best move. The only question is how noticeable it'll be in-game. As if it matters, the 4-5 sub-humans who praise this trash will clap at anything.
>>695043035that would be sensible, but very few sensible choices tend to come from this company
>>695043440That's true.
proof you have to be mentally ill to like this shitty remakehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru8kDGPv2G0
>>695017191>Remember when they went back to retroactively censor Remake? There's officially precedence for that now.The most insidious part is that they did this right after Rebirth went viral for Tifa's swimsuit. While gamers were praising the game as being anti-woke for having Tifa wear a sexy outfit, SE sneakily went and proceeded to retroactively censor Tifa in the first game.Actually fucking insidious.
>>695044000Based trips of truth.
>>695043916i think it just ties up to cloud mental issues, anon
>>695044000Viewed and acknowledged. I also happen to completely agree with you.

>>695044301>>695044000this has to be a mental disease.

>>695045498in the tutorial part? to be a tutorialwe dont see that again
>>695045579What kind of idiot needs a tutorial to move forward in the second entry in a trilogy? Is there nothing you won't apologize for?
>>695031573Bro, FF IS hack and slash. The only turn based companies left are Atlus and Falcom and they have been killing it lately. FF being gone would have exactly 0 impact on the industry.
>>695013338You faggots were wrong about the election too
>>695045623I dont know, why does metaphor teach how to move around?
>695045664A desperate attempt to derail. Let's see if it works out for xim!
>>695045730>deflectingAtlus versus Square Enix is like David and Goliath. Why you bring people bring these comparisons up as some weird defense when all it does is lower the once-mighty name of Final Fantasy is nothing short of disgraceful.
>>695045634>FF being gone would have exactly 0 impact on the industry.Actually it is the only company that makes uniques videogames. Atlusslop and Falcomslop is the same as atelier shit, genshin shit, and 3d anime shit. Just gacha garbage with cookie cutter gameplay.
>>695015237Sold more, yet made $0 kek
>>695045941>Just gacha garbage with cookie cutter gameplay.For fucks sake Rebirth-defenders, all 3 of you, are mongoloids.
>>695013338>the most asked for remake of all time cannot even manage to sell past 2 millionHow did Squeenix fuck up this badly?
>>695020474NTA but SE already confirmed it was a flop. If any company claims that a game fails to meet sales expectations, it's a flop. FF games just happen to be really expensive to make, so they need to sell several millions just to break even. 2 million is not nearly enough.
>>695046239the people who originally played ff7 have moved on from video games. the only ones left that played it are neckbreads,troons and woketards.nobody really cares about ff7, its original story was abysmal. the only redeeming quality it had was graphics.
>>695045331Literally anyone is above the "people" on this board/site. None of you are human. Just a bunch of genuinely subhuman losers who spend all their time masturbating, outraging about politics, starting samefag console war and game-war threads like this, and repeat every single day. Just pure losers in every which way possible. 95% here will die alone and by suicide in the near future, thankfully.
>>695045902God, what a dense moron.This is not about atlus vs SE. Im just giving you an example about a "good game" having the tutorials. And the thing is very simple. The game is rated T, for teens, theres a group out there that probably have never played a game before. SE never designs their games to be played ONLY if you play this other game first. Thats why you have tutorials in every single game in existence.Whats next? dont have tutorials in elden ring because people should have played DS1, DS2, DS3, etc...? it doesnt work like that.And dont act like the tutorials in remake/rebirth are even that restrictive. It is literally a simple text that you can skip immediatly if you want to. Does that make your blood boil, you little bitch? do you see more yellow paint in the next games? no? i wonder why that is. But go wonder alone so you dont bother me, faggot.
>>695046958it's cute that you actually think you know what the fuck you're talking aboutget over yourself kid
>695047189>bla bla bla everyone I don't like is bad bla bla blaThe baffling irony of you people is that you never seem to understand that you're part of the people your pissing on. And you know what's more pathetic than a loser? A self-degrading loser.Just know that you chimping out and accidentally hitting yourself with your own shit does nothing but amuse others.
>>695046239because it's on the ps5 and remake was on the ps4, most people have a ps4. it'll make more sales in the long run.
>>695048296
>>695047297Then you could have picked a better example, right? I played FF4 recently, and guess how many tutorials for walking were in that game?>Does that make your blood boilI've never understood this "u mad?" stuff. You people sure have high opinions of yourself if you think anyone ITT is actually angry. Or is this the part where you were merely pretending?>go wonder aloneYou have 0 authority here and its pathetic that you think you do.
>>695048429I'm getting high off it
>>695048447>chooses a really old game, from an era where most tutorials where put in guidebooks and not the actual game to save memory
>>695047297I’ve finished Rebirth and I have about 20 in-game days left in Metaphor and I think it isn’t even close, Rebirth shits on Metaphor, it has one of the best party based combat systems ever, Metaphor is just an SMT game but now you can switch rows, the enemy variety in Rebirth also shits all over Metaphor, I can’t remember much enemy reskins at all while Metaphor reskins almost every enemy numerous times.
>>695048137>Uuum sweetie, you correctly and rightfully calling me the loser that I am actually makes YOU da loser and even more of a loser than I am!lol nice cope. Feels good knowing that many of you will be in hell(if it's a thing) when you go.
>>695048753Both are different games i dont think i could have an answer for a question like "whats better, Gran turismo 2 or Spyro 2?", but if we are trying to compare them, then yeah, rebirth is just better because its scale completely eclipses metaphor. Metaphor is just too limited in everything it wants to present, the scope is just smaller.
>>695046958Fans wanted a remake. A proper remake. Not what Square has given us.
>>695049329I wanted this, and so did 2 million others , and so do a lot of other people who simply don't have a PS5. People shitposting against Rebirth on /v/ are non-existent on terms of dislike towards the game. It is universally praised for good reason.
>>695046958>the only redeeming quality it had wasA $100m marking campaign footed by Sony.

>>695013338I don't give a damn. I want a playable Rebirth conversion for PC. That's all that I want. The rest is of no importance to me. To not mention that the game for PS5 is discounted, but you can be sure that, when it will be ported for PC, it will be at full price.

>>695064853Faggots can try and change the criteria all you want, playing as a brown manlet who gets called slurs is woke.
>>695064686That's not Rebirth though.
>>695065298Anon, you're a fucking retard.>>695061241
>>695062303metabore bros...
>>695061575Did XVI beat Rebirth?
>>695065457in sales yeah but it wasn't nominated for goty
I don't get the sales argument, the people who make it call Rebirth 1/3 of a Remake, so shouldn't we add Remake and Rebirth's sales together?
>>695013338Sales stopped being important about 3-4 years after Remake.
>>695035682Breed Yuffie
>>695065550It was, it was nominated for best VA.
>>695065550>>695066592>it wasn't nominated for gotylrn2read
>>695065550>in salesnop. Only Japanese sales. In EU, which is a much bigger PS5 market, Rebirth outsold XVI. >>695022416
>>695066953>no sourceSo a flop then.
>>695066953>no source twitter post
>>695065782>Sales of the franchise stopped about 3-4 years after Remake.FTFY
>>695066953I don't trust random tweets
They're clearly not afraid to announce 3m sales, so where's the announcement Rebirthers?
>>695013501Aerith threads need to banned on site. I don't care about the rest, but waifus threads are shit(especially when anons have shit taste).
when did /v/ become so fucking obsessed with sales? it never used to be like this..
>>695067710The reality is that people dont have a real arugment against hte game so they resort to sales

>>695067710It became so when Final Fantasy turned to trash.
>>695067745>>695067771Argument has been leveled against Stillbirth so many times now and dismissed out of fanboyism.
>>695067787no it wasn't this bad back in the ffxiii days

>>695067865>>695067970samefag
>>695067951True but everyone thought XIII was a one-off. It turned out to be the norm from here on out.
>>695068019At least SMT still kept its core formula and its existing fanbase.
>>695068017>>695068063You misunderstand, him saying there has been arguments against Rebirth then calling it Stillbirth is funny, as it shows the buzzword shit being the only "arguments" ever directed against Rebirth.
>>695067710video games have become more corporate, so we use things like sales now instead of if its a good game or not. So blame capitalism.
>>695013501I'd love for this to be true.
>>695068019Back to your cartel mines, spic.
>695013742>Larry fails FPBP once more
>>695013338holy kek metatranny fags are seething in advance? Calm down sisters, wait until the event
>>695067751>minor spelling mistake
>>695020774come the fuck on anon. 2m isn't good for a AAA game as big as this. not even counting the multiple times SE said it sold poorly

Rebirth is gonna sweep>best rpg>best direction>game of the year>best score and musicthere's no competition. It's too easy
>>695021603yes>>695021665>FF7 remakeyeah after they tried baiting people with FF7 "remake" we saw what happened to rebirth
>>695022080most of the sales for a game come from the first few months after launch
I guess S-E will have to do a downgraded Switch 2 port of it eventually, if they can find a way to squeeze a 150gb game down to a 32gb cartridge.
>>695069902Can't wait to see you seething.
>>695070193i actually believe this is true. The problem of most of these rpg's is that they're not on switch, so they all sell 1-2 million units and /v/ has to do all this mental gymnastic to convince everyone that this is success
>>695033101>>695033134sales are an objective metric to tell if a game flopped or not. people just cheer when it's a game they dislike
>>695067710there have been sales threads on /v/ since forever now. at least 12 years>>695067745see >>695070607
>>695070428can't wait to see you pretending you don't care about the result
