The Dragon Quest franchise under performing. The brand could be stronger with better vision. These sales are good-ish but I'm not expecting great legs. The franchise could be so much more. I'm talking about Dragon Ball level popularity and relevance.

Nah, Dragon Ball has massive western nostalgia than DQ just never got.

When will Snoy get the message that we don't want Horizon to be a brand staple to Snoy/Playstation? Why didn't they give Jak and Daxter this kind of push? I want a freaking Jak and Daxter remake and/or sequel.
>>
>>695270021
RPGs have very limited appeal outside of Japan. They could make it bigger but they would need to change the genre, which would risk destroying the Japanese market they've currently built and I don't think they will ever risk that.

It's so bizarre how they put it on the Switch but not the PS4 lmao.

Out of all of them, drinker has the tamest opinions. He at least has inputs on the gameplay and the writing even if sometimes it comes across as elementary. The rest are literally outrage farmers who dont have any real opinions. They all share the same channels and "sources" so all of their videos cover the same topic and talking points.

Maybe they'll do a Romancing SaGa 3 remake next, that was the best selling one of the three originally.

>>695270709
A good chunk of that has to be from Steam sales because the PS4/5 sales were kinda low.

If they're gonna make a Royal or whatever version they should make a point of launching it day 1 on Switch 2 rather than holding it for years like they did with P5.

They already sabotaged Romancing SaGa by remaking 2 as anOctopath Traveler game, they don't need to do anything since the next game will be a real SaGa game and filter all the people who bought the demake.

>>695271702
If they really wanted to completely change the game they should have just taken the REMAKE approach.
I'm extremely curious to see how part 3 will do considering it will inevitably sell even worse than Rebirth and the Switch 2 will make Playstation completely irrelevant by then.
>>
>>695271702
Considering those Ever Crisis models, why doesn't SE release a low budget accurate remake of FF7? Not one tied to mobile, but just a cheaper one.
Especially since you'll probably need context from the original game for Part 3 anyway.
>>
>>695271774
I don't get it. SE made headlines multiple times this year for poor reported sales of FF (both rebirth and XVI) and reports showing that their sales on PS were going so bad that they were abandoning exclusivity. even if you think that DQ is going to bomb by some magical way, why would it kill SE rather than FF bombing?

>>695271886
My guess would be that Part 3 will be mostly as planned (or at least, the cuts will be not too noticeable), but any plans for more Compilation of VII stuff gets shelved, so Crisis Core 2: The Gackt strikes back.
>>
>>695271668
>he thinks they'll remake VI before IV

>>695272069
Specially a remake that likely costed a fraction of the recent FF games.

So, any hope Square realizes that the problem isn't their smaller games but the absolute moneysink FF has become?
>>
>>695272465
They kinda did, read their recent announcements, problem is that suits are retards and they have massive sunk cost on lot of stupid shit including FF7. DQ is good but they don't fully own the IP, whole company is at mercy of a shitty MMO.

>>695272215
Technically IV got a remake already.

square is in a very interesting (and I'd say pretty bad) position at the moment. it feels like they don't have anything going for them that isn't final fantasy, and even that isn't doing good. all of their recent new IPs did bad, a new KH is taking longer than a console generation to be made, they don't fully own DQ and they can't make game sorry their smaller franchises.

Obviously I could be wrong but IMO their best bet is to start taking the Atlus approach.
What I mean by this is that they need to chill on how much they spend on their games and manage their expectations, look at Unicorn Overlord, Persona 3 and Metaphor, as soon as they all did 1M that was enough for them to celebrate.
If they make FXVII as a game with a much more modest budget so it can be released on Switch 2, a unique artstyle , and they focus on start doing their own thing rather than chasing trends, I could see it doing very well.

I mean, people got angrier over Tifa's design more than the game being split into parts and God knows when they gonna release the rest.

I wonder what wacky anime crossover we're getting this year. Feels like we missed out on something amazing with Cold War doing 80s action heroes and Judge Dredd and not doing 80s anime.
Then again MWIII did fucking Gundam for whatever reason.

I was pissed when I heard of what they were doing as the Midgar section of FF7 was only a tiny part and I had no idea how they were going to bloat it. I suspected they would fill it with nothing but filler and sidequests and I was right. I didn't expect the time jannies or them completely fucking up Sephiroth's mystique by having him popping up like some weird jester every few minutes. Part of Sephiroth's original allure in the original FF7 was that it was ages before you saw him proper. Other than seeing the carnage in Shinra HQ, what he did to the giant snake and Cloud's playable flashback "Sephiroth" doesn't make his actual physical presence known to the player until much later in the story. The Remake completely throws that out the window.

While many people say they "regret" their edgy phase, I really don't. Mainly because it took me where I'm now, and because I never actually did anything horrid or bad.
But man was I fucking embarrassing. Trying to argue everything like I was some fucking intellectual at early 20s. Then citing some Youtubers aka some in your pic.
Admitting you are wrong is one of the scariest things in life, mainly because everyone is taught that being wrong is embarrassing and something you should be ashamed of rather than what you should learn from. On internet you can see how being wrong is usually treated as an excuse to humiliate someone. At least I got out of my edgy phase(thanks to my dad who kinda sat me down and drank with me while talking about things, and mom who has always been kind and made me realize how childish it was to hate women just because I'm miserable and refused to get along with anyone different than me), but it is still sad to see some people I know double down on idpol stuff and started hating me, and accusing me of being a leftist because I really don't care what "libtards" did on Twitter today or how Elon Musk is owning said libtards.

The great depression was (as every depression is, lmao) a massive misplay by the stock brokering market. Economic downturn, when not induced by a stock crash is very gradual and generally not that hard to handle.

In '08, it was basically what amounts to a large scale fraud + market manipulation that got out of hand.

You need to look at what factors created the environment to cause the Great Depression, and that started with Harding's protectionism with massive tariffs and upending the labor market by heavily restricting immigration, coupled with the massive deregulation under Coolidge right after coming out of a recession. Considering the US is about to get all those policies again, don't give me a surprised pikachu face if history repeats.
This is the part where you're going to deflect by crying about open boarders or some other strawman because I mentioned immigration.

I just want my Switch 2 to be cheap and the economy not be burned to the ground in the next 4 years.

I'm not even American, anon. I'm not coping. I don't care for whoever governs the US, I'm simply saying that while recession INDUCES depression, great depressions have to be kick-started by an event with a high chance of economic contagion. I actually agree with you that you will definitely see some form of recession, if not in GDP somewhere else, I'm just saying that the cards aren't stacked for a gigantic market crash. The last few years have made investing a cautious and tentative affair.
>This is the part where you're going to deflect by crying about open boarders or some other strawman because I mentioned immigration.

True that, but I have other reasons to be extremely pessimistic for America's future And more importantly, my autism bucks, however that would drag us into the political rabbit hole and be painfully off topic, since we could at least argue discussing the economy and how it impacts game sales.
Regardless, keep that optimism, the world needs it. And if you're the anon I was originally talking too, I'm also hoping Metroid Prime 4 is good, and they sure as hell better keep the flavor text scans.

Good news, they're in. The flavor text scan is in the trailer, Samus scans a dead pirate.

Koei fell for the AAA meme
>Koei Tecmo has recently formed a new in-house AAA studio, and has already mentioned plans to make "yearly releases of major titles" a priority. According to their explanation to shareholders, this is because the company "expects the console and PC game market to grow" due to new hardware releases, as well as mobile gamers transitioning to PC and console games (an observation made based on the success of recent Chinese and Korean titles).
>On the other hand, Koei Tecmo's representatives noted that the mobile game market is already mature, and that "significant growth is unlikely to be seen." In response to these market conditions, the company plans to establish a development framework that will allow them to "steadily produce AAA titles." To this end, Koei Tecmo even intends to double their scale, going from 2,500 to 5,000 employees in the long run.

It says the mobile market is "mature", on other words they were too late to the party.
They also notice that mobile gamer want to go back to console, which is understandable considering that the economy is in the shitter and all gacha are time consuming.
However, I'm not sure how/why they reached the conclusion that people want more AAA.

>However, I'm not sure how/why they reached the conclusion that people want more AAA.
Essentially, they're banking on the spectacle as a means of grabbing interest which is why so many companies want to chase graphical leaps despite us hitting the point of diminishing returns and saturation. Like every time you see a new game show off how detailed its models and environments are you can see the hook being thrown in the water but like. Does that make the game fun???

It's why Nintendo just keeps being the default position for people, they don't chase "experiences," they make games and merch of said games.

Playstation 5 console was designed by Yujin Morisawa, Japanese. The dual sense was a Japanese design. The game of the year you play on it, Astrobot (nominated over Mario) is made by a team based in Japan with a majority of Japanese developers.

And to answer your question, a combination of scam call centers, being the source of like 80% of the shitposting of the current internet, being obnoxious as fuck in person, and just being overall retarded even when they try to not be annoying, which results in shit like extremely poorly unoptimized games that look like PS5 games but need at least a 4070 to run at 1080p 60fps.

>>695296904
It comes from the verb 遊ぶ [asobu] which is "to play" in japanese.
It's badly conjugated however, because it literally is written as "an play", just like how 休む [yasumu] (to rest) turns into 休み for "a rest", as in "taking a rest", 遊び would mean "an play" as in "taking an play" because it's literally gramatically incorrect.

not a playstation office, THE playstation office. SIE, a subsidiary of sony, which is the company that manages playstation and the brand has it's headquarters on america, ergo it's an american company

I didn't mean 1st week, but for long term. maybe after 1 year+.

They arent news outlets because if they are then they wouldnt post their garbage xitter drama as youtube content and use their own families as some sort of leverage like Smash JT or Geeks+Gamers, or Hypnotic. They have 0 issues crying about the "integrity and quality of videogames" and how sweet babby ruins everything (which they do), but, again, theyre cowards who only go for popular opinions. The momebt theyre confronted with a game that is censored/woke that actually sold, like Baldurs Gate 3 or DQIII, they either change thwir stance to say "its not woke actually" when they started the outrage before release saying it is, or theyre dead silent about it.

Thats just being human, what you think people are so perfect that they stopped making mistakes because they learned from an old one? Then nobody will ever make mistakes again, and we both know thats not the case. Dont assume people are just as bad as you, you sound like a know-it-all that nobody likes.

Ironically enough, devs had the perfect game to copy through nier automata to have a good going for action rpgs, and even chinks had the right idea with honkai 3 copying DMC.
But chinks only (poorly) copied the aesthetic instead of the actual mechanics and everyone else just made souls goyslop instead, effectively causing irreparable damage to action games for at least the next decade.
Literally the only worse thing they could have done is using westoid bamham slop, that's literally the only option that is possibly worse than rollslop.
Meanwhile turn based games actually innovated in both the indie/AA space, and surprisingly enough, even in the AAA space, to great success no less.
