Are YOU ready for GOTY 2026?
>>724052369I hope it dies earlier than a year. What the fuck is wrong with SE?
>>724052654>What the fuck is wrong with SE?
>>724052369I'd play it if it was on PC, and no I do not feel like touching shit ass android emulators ever again.

Barry thread.
>>724052654>What the fuck is wrong with SE?A lot.
>>724052369>caring about slopssidia
>>724057270>t. Square Enix
>>724052369im ready for it to be EOS under a year
>When you look at Dissidia Final Fantasy, a fighting game of hectic proportions featuring your beloved heroes from franchises past, don't you just think "wow I wish I could play this on my cellphone so it'd be horribly stressful! And I want them to be dressed like real life hipsters, not at all like themselves.">Uh... No?>Exactly. Here it is!>What?>Enjoy!>????
>>724052369Why do they absolutely REFUSE to make a normal Dissidia?>two PSP games were completely loved and full of content for both single player and multiplayer >tons of soul with references, the UI, costumes, etc>actually interesting story if a bit long winded >tons of characters and some good rep picksThen they do NT, complete flop no one wants because it’s 99% online and neutered all the complexity the PSP games had (note: flopped in arcades AND home consoles)Then they do OO, complete flop and gets shut downNow they’re doing a fusion of NT and OO, aka a gacha esports title that literally NOBODY is excited for What is their actual problem? Is this not a perfect opportunity to make another normal title but with new reps from 14 and 16?
>>724057670But what of the gachamoney anon?
>>724057670>note: flopped in arcadesThat would be nice but no, it did especially good in the first year it came out and had machines running that shit for 6 years.
>they shut down Dissidia Opera Omnia for this shit>for a fucking dress up game pretending to be a PVP brawler
>>724052369>pvp gachalol
>>724052369Look at this faggot shit.
I am convinced SE has inherited Sega's shit-tier decision making.
>>724057632The clothing is probably based on how much FFXIV (and adjacent games like PSO2) have players just eating up outfits like that no matter how out of place it is.
>>724057670>Is this not a perfect opportunity to make another normal titleno, the future of square enix is>dq remasters>ff7 milking>mobile crap that ends within a year
>>724059056
>>724057670They can't let the stockholders realize Nomura and Matsuno are the only ones left from Square who make good games that draw money. The board might wonder why the fk they have some retards constantly fucking everything up running the company instead of the actual talent
>>724059978>Nomura and Matsuno are the only ones left from Square who make good games that draw money
>>724059978The only thing that makes money at SE is the XVI and that has nothing to do with Nomura or Matsuno.
>>724052369what the fuck are these designsis that kain or estinien?
>>724060308Stop asking and start pulling.
>>724060172>>724060252>TGS2025>Cover of their presentation booklet and first 3 pagesFFTDQFF7>Main game their booth is based onFFT>Last yearFF7>Most anticipated gamesFF7 Pt.3IntergradeKH4>DS and PSP eraNomura produces several acclaimed hit titles and new IP's>NowCreative Director for a new entry planned by someone else
>>724060763Absolutely delusional.
>>724060848>Your feelings mean more than factsk
>>724060763Do FF7 fans never get FF7 fatigue?
>>724061123Read their quarterly report my man. All their HD games are failing. The only thing keeping the company alive is operating revenue which is XVI.
>>724061180Rebirth sold 2m units. It's already set in.
>>724061332sounds like slopfatigue
Not playing
>>724052654Boomer executives
>>724052369>Android 18 ZidaneWhy though? For what reason?
>>724052369I wouldn't even bitch about the modern day setting if it just played like Duodecim, why the fuck can't they just make a game that plays like Duodecim again for fuck's sake
>>724063213How many fucking times do I have to explain this to you people?FINALFANTASYALWAYSHASTOEVOLVEThe identity of Final Fantasy is to always be in in motion, always do new things, always change and become unique and vibrant and vivid. If you just want samey trash just buy DQ instead and leave the actual artists alone.
I think it's time for OUR HEROES 8ING to come out and make a FF fighting game. Let this be THEIR REDEMPTION SAGA.
>>724063474Bad change is bad. Simple as.
>>724063474>The identity of Final Fantasy is to always be in in motion, always do new things, always change and become unique and vibrant and vivid.And now it has become slop.
more like eosoty
Even if we assume this setting really is what people want out of Final Fantasy and Dissidia in particular, do you think everyone has just forgotten Record Keeper, Brave Exvius, and Opera Omnia?This shit feels designed to fail.
>>724064226Personally I think the entire game is just an advertisement. It's another celebration of the franchise's roots because the root of this franchise is the only thing people have fond memories about anymore. They're also desperate for crossovers Cloud, Tifa and Aerith can appear in because they're terrified Rebirth's catastrophic flop memoryholed the entire Remake-series.Which it kinda did, so they're right to be afraid.Plus the second it doesn't turn a profit they'll just announce EOS in 3 months and poof.
>>724064618If it's an ad and a celebration, the right strategy is to make it free, or a one-time payment for a complete game. Making a mobile gacha that will shut down in less than a year only makes the next mobile game less viable due to reputational harm.
>>724052369Lmao
>>724064785True, but ask yourself: what reputation harm can they really do that hasn't already been done?>XIV is a disaster after Dawntrail>FF7R is a sinking shit after Rebirth>XVI is literally completely forgotten>SOP didn't work as a reimagining of FF1 like they hoped>pretty much all mobile games are shut down or are hanging by a thread>now Dissidia is being beaten to the cross for short-term profitsHow exactly can they make it worse at this point? What is left to burn?
>>724065441The typical strategy would be to stop burning things.
I know Sakaguchi isn't there anymore, but does no one at that company understand what Zidane's character is?In all the compilation games he always comes across as a almost completely blank slate and it weirds me out considering how much growth and personality he had on display in FF9.
>>724065548You'd think so right.
i don't understand who keeps giving this company money
>>724052369>high-school settingFuck off.
>>724066586Is it? The only outfit that passes for a school uniform is Terra's. If we're forcing them into a modern setting, that actually works for her as a character. Just, ya know, as long as it's only Terra.
>>724061274First, I guess you mean FFXIV, second, the long-term key is building brands. They are still milking FF7, KH, and other titles for decades. Yes FFXIV also makes money, they have many good to great games, but not many reach potential due to mismanagement and tampering. People are asking for a new true Dissidia, they aren't getting it because...
>>724067385Oh, yes, XIV, my bad.
>>724052369more like EoS of the year lol
Do gachaslurpers even have any trust in square? So far they always shut down their gachas after a year or twoJust play another one that wont EoS immediately
>>724067549Or just don't play gacha at all. Look within, obtain taste.
>>724067549>Do gachaslurpers even have any trust in squareNope. The entire conversation around this game has been how long it’ll last. Doubt they’re getting rid of that reputation any time soon.
>>724052369Short-lived notation
>>724067524Think it'll get a whole year?
