So is he right?
>>727758328Kek he said nothing about FF16 when FF16 released. Naoki Yoshida on suicide watch.
>>727758328No, he's a hack SNOY faggot.
>>727758328isn't he one of the fags that's killing SQEX?
>>727758328waste of a thread
>>727758328>FF7 Demake directorOpinion(s) immediately discarded
>>727758328>guy expresses his opinion>is he right????retard
>>727758328Those French frogs copied FFX anyways. If anyone remembers, FFX early concepts explored the idea of everyone dying at a young age (some say as early as 17 instead of 33 in E33), and all the other broader arching themes and motifs are too similar to ignore. They basically did a riff of one of the best FF games with a French coat of paint, and since there are so many francophiles, it basically gets hailed as the best game to ever exist. Meh, miss me with that shit.
A broken clock bla bla bla. He's right about this one though.
big cuck-energy ngl
>>727758580Turns out that after seeing the JRPG industry decay for 25 years, FFX with a French Coat of paint is worthy to be 2025's game of the year.E33 is basically a 7/10 7th gen RPG but that fucking gold these days when JRPGS have been reduced to Persona and design trends/scope made to compensate for being forced onto handhelds that never went away for the rest.
>>727758370What was he gonna say though? XVI was shit and Rebirth somehow found a say to be worse.
>>727758732they do love their ntr, the cheeky bastards
Yes yes, I know that this game is a industry plant that will get jerked off with like 10 awards at the industry incestous orgy event before everyone forgets it ever existed. I get it. Now fuck off with your twitter shit.
>>727758765TRUTH.NUKE.
>>727758842It's a pretty good game though. And in today's world that's rather rare.
read>please, please let a turn based RPG make GOTY please god let it sell one hundred million copies please let the higher ups 'force' me to imitate a turn based RPG instead of asscreed and farcry i dont want to make fucking action games anymore I miss the old square enix i want to go home
>>727758328Modern Jap devs don't know how to make a compelling stories anymore that's why this is happening.
>>727758370he wasn't tweeting at all before like october 2023
>>727758930>old square enixHot take: Square Enix has never, not once, made anything of value.Every IP they have that used to hold value was made good by SquareSOFT and they have never been close to the heights of 'good' since the merger.
I feel like the entire video game aspect of this company lives or dies on KH4 at this point, and that's pretty bleak considering how mediocre KH3 was. FF is practically a dead brand and DQ is so deep in development hell it might actually not release before the company dies.For fucks sake they're not even good at publishing anymore.
>>727759169their flagships have been terrible but a number of their smaller projects have still been quite good. 4 heroes of light is the best core rpg since the snes era and blows the pants of every ps1 square game except ivalice.
>>727759636>4 heroes of light?
>>727759048So what stopped him tweeting after October 2023? The final DLC for FF16 didn't release until April 2024. He also tweeted long after Exp 33 released. Yet didn't tweet long after FF16 released.Proves he thinks nothing of 16.
>>727758765>>727758860>add parry mechanic to 25 year outdated combat system>everyone loses their shitIt really is that easy to impress JRPG tards. eh?
>>727758328He made slop so of course he likes slop.Rebirth is asset store slop and E33 is AI slop, but they're both definitely slop.
>>727761358>Slop, slop, slopYou like porn slop in your bum.
>>727760052the people who made alundra later became DS technowizards and worked with square enix to make the ds ports for ff3 and ff4, and square liked them so much they collabed to make an original game titled 4 Heroes of Light - Final Fantasy Gaiden-. Basically imagine Bravely Default without the things that made Bravely Default bad.
>>727761414>Bravely Default without the things that made Bravely Default badThey should make a game like that again.
>>727761383You know exactly what people mean when they say something is slop. Please do not pretend otherwise.
>>727761358it really does feel as if fag33 was entirely made by AI.
>>727761358>>727761602Counterpoint: You're seething over it's success and clutching at straws. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, it's going to win GOTY, and basically? You are a fucking retard.
>>727761548No it's an overused buzzword that means nothing. You out yourself as an unthinking moron for using it. If you want to be critical of Expedition 33 then highlight what you think deserves criticism. Simply saying 'slop' is braindead, unthinking, lazy garbage.
>>727761278the jarpig brain is slow give them some slack.
>>727761681>muh dorito pope normiefaggot awardslmao grats bro I guess but your AI unreal engine sloppa game which uses asset store bought assets and animations is still trash.
>>727758580Final Fantasy X is about fighting a corrupt organized religion and taking agency over your own story. Expedition 33 is about dealing with escapism after facing traumatizing events. They’re nothing alike, I don’t think you even played either of those games.
>>727761868imagine being able to create and live in any world you wish yet this is what you conjured up up lmao!!! kek lol
>>727761681Yes I know it will win all the awards and that does make me seethe because that basically opens up the floodgates for even more AI slop.I wouldn't even seethe if the devs didn't try to sweep their generative AI usage under the rug by not having the AI usage disclaimer on the games Steam page, even after they got caught.
>>727761949That is secondary, you idiot. It's about stopping the cycle of death from an oppressor. The fighting of corrupt religion is itself escapism and a coping mechanism from traumatizing attacks that Sin constantly wages against mankind.
>>727761278>add parry mechanicSuper Mario RPG for the SNES?
>>727762161Nigga most people on this site haven't reached 30 yet.
>>727760068Is this some kind of gotcha? Yoshi-P openly admitted the game was cynically designed to appeal to subhumans. Of course nobody intelligent enough to become a game dev would think anything of 16.
>>727762124>It's about stopping the cycle of death from an oppressor.There, this is what I'm talking about, you didn’t play the game, after Act 2 the story takes a whole other meaning and it stops being about that.>fighting of corrupt religion is itself escapism and a coping mechanism from traumatizing attacks that Sin constantly wages against mankind.What the hell? Do you know what that word means?
>>727762228>No you don't get it, the people responsible for the other Final Fantasy games not giving public acknowledgement to FF16 is actually a good thing for Naoki Yoshida.
>>727758370I bought ffxvi over a year ago and still haven't finished it. it's so.... boring? the boss fights look cool that's about it.
>>727762947Didn't say that. The game is shit. Yoshida is a retard. The point is the everyone knows the game is the same type of slop that SE's mobile divisions put out
>>727758328>QTE parry slop game of the yearChrist all mighty. I was fed up the split second you had to press two fucking buttons to skip a cutscene and one you had to hold.Fucking terrible.
>>727762272well lets be honest bro nobody likes act 3 anyways. its shit
i feel sorry for him. he makes the exact game like e33 a self contained great game in ff7 remake and it was hated for no logical reason. and then gave in to demands for open world slop of ff7 rebirth just for that to n be bloated flop
>>727763490Because they changed the story. No one asked for them to do that. How are you not getting that little bro?
>>727763530I asked them to do that. Straight remakes are completely pointless trash.
>>727763889And instead we got complete trash. Such an improvement.
>>727763889>Straight remakes are completely pointless trashShame the game we got instead is irredemable trash, so much so that Rebirth had over a million- 1.5million people fall off from Remake.All we FF7 fans wanted was the game remade with high fidelity graphics, the story the same, maybe expand it a little bit in the world but don't change the story, the characters who they are e.t.c.You're in the minority here if you really wanted a Remake of FF7 and wanted them to change the story, who the fuck thought that was a good idea? Defeats the purpose of the fans asking for a Remake. Did the Oblivion Remake change the story?Did Resident Evil 4 Remake change the story?Did the Silent Hill 2 Remake change the story?No, they didn't and they were all well loved/ liked and sold really well.
>>727764184>da sheeple masses disagree with u!Ok.
>>727764258>No you don't get it, games that were massively popular are not meant to be popular anymore.
I don't care about what's popularI care about what I want
If Doublelift says so it must be wrong.
>>727758328E33 is also cheap & doesn't overstay its welcome
I just love how people itt cope and don't even try to address the elephant in the roomsay it with me, /v/>COE33 IS WINNING GOTY BECAUSE IT'S A BABBY'S FIRST JRPG WITHOUT THE ANIME CRINGEyep, it's literally that simple, to most normies anime bitches on the cover is a major red flag, it doesn't even register to them that thing existsobviously the lower price and the "we are smarru indie studio preasu undelstandu" farce also contributed to its success
>>727758328He's not allowed to have his own opinions now?
>>727762064>>727761868They didn't even use any AI tools, though.https://www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/a-firm-no-to-artificial-intelligence-clair-obscur-expedition-33-d/z88a9f
>>727764184remakes were supposed to increase popularity of a said franchiseOblivion flopped , mgs delta, dead space all flopped gaming culture wiseresident evil and ff7 did succeed
>>727758328No, Shroud is right
>>727767009>Oblivion flopped , mgs delta floppedRetard they absolutely did not flop. But Rebirth did and that game changed the story of FF7 so you're not helping yourself here trying to claim that keeping the story faithful to the original creates flops while changing the story doesn't.
>>727767009>>727767240all of you need to learn what an actual flop is, and not just "/v/ flopped" version of flopped.
>>727758328E33 is a good game, but I do genuinely question how it got so huge considering that it basically came from nowhere and does nothing other JRPGs haven’t done previously.>>727766710Persona 5 was a big hit with normies though, and the aesthetic of that game couldn’t get more anime if you tried. Plus, E33 is very anime in its narrative sensibilities, even if the aesthetic looks more western.
Its not like it has any competition. Every other game this year was mid at best.
>>727767287Yeah Oblivion and MGS delta did not flop. FF7Rebirth did. Ask Square Enix what they think on the sales figures for Rebirth.
>>727758328>Opinion from the director of one of the worst remakes of all timeInto the trash it goes
>aproncoded: the gameyuck!
>>727759048>he wasn't tweeting at all before like october 2023>>727760068>So what stopped him tweeting after October 2023?Holy illiteracy. Brown?
>>727767652anon the cumulative sales of that series are around shit like yakuza, in other words weebs who play nier/yakua/etc are more likely to play persona games, it's more like an exception that p5 in particular has more buzz around it with people who are not into japanese gamesthat said, all of them pale in comparison to pokemon (if we consier it as a jrpg) in terms of sales and relevance, still that is not saying much because it's a franchise oriented to kids
>>727768197Do you want to try that again Anon?
