>>732195540no more sony exclusivity deals?
>>732195540Ironic coming from a company that does it's best and most creative work when restrained to a single platform.
>>732195540SE removed a several hour long livestream, because Horii expressed bewilderment at SE's demand for gender select being turned into body type select.Creators under SE are thus not allowed to express their opinions freely.
>>732195565When the new boss took over, one of the first things he did is pushed for multiplatforms.We don't know how ironclad Sony's deal was with the FF7 trilogy so we will have to wait and see for that game, but the new games? All multiplat.
>>732195772i love this new president already. Day 1 PC baby!!
>>732195568Wake upunc, it's been 30 years since this happened.
>>732195565>>732195568>>732195718It is no longer sustainable to develop a game for a single platform audience in the modern economy.Sony managed to procure exclusive agreements by paying out a lump sum for exclusivity, but the amounts needed to make up for the lost sales on PC/switch are so high this is no longer possible to pay.
>>732195540PC WON
I'll never understand how consoles are still a thing in present year. Who even owns a TV? Do you not have a pc? Technical illiteracy?
>>732195839Good. Exclusivity is a fucking detriment and always has been when it came to games.
>>732195943I don’t have a tv and I have a ps5, I just use a monitor.Also even most poorfag homes have a tv compatible with a console
>>732195943my phone does everything i want in a pc
>>732195943Me too
>>732196014?You never study/ work in a office/research/do any kind of graphics/music/movies ? There's no way someone can go to uni without a pc, right?
>>732195943>Who even owns a TV?People who aren't poor. You're not poor, are you?
>>732195540Who cares? They produce nothing but abject shit these days.Genuinely bottom of the barrel developers.Even the new dragon quest remake is not only censored, they removed a shit ton of content from it for no reason. Like half the game is missing.
>>732196063i have a macbook air for that
>>732195565Either Sony's exclusivity deals aren't enough to pay the bills anymore or japanese autism took over the entire company and they did it for free.
>>732196063>There's no way someone can go to uni without a pc, right?Why would anyone at uni need a PC for that when they could easily carry around a laptop or tablet?
>>732196065No I have a nice pc. Why would I need a TV? It's just a big monitor. There's no way... You actually watch TV right? Random ass entertainment? Kinda obsolete with internet being a thing.
>>732195540And PC continues to crush consoles.
>>732196123>>732196083A laptop counts as a pc
>>732195540In other words: "People finally started buying FF7R when we put it on Nintendo".
If this is true, good. Exclusivity has always been console platform AIDS and needs to be extinguished (along with the concept of console which has outlived its usefulness and just leads to proprietary shitfuckness)Does that mean they can hurry up and get Bravely Default HD Remaster onto Steam where it should have been YEARS ago before Bravely Default II's launch? Also lets remaster Bravely Second. Squeenix has always been reasonably decent when it comes to PC releases, but they've been stupidly uneven - sometimes they'd have day 1 on Steam, sometimes they'd have FFVII Remake Snoy exclusivity THEN EGS cancer for a year, and still do better when it finally shows up on Steam. The amount of time they left Kingdom Sharts on EGS I think finally taught them that at least Timmy's store exclusivity was losing them money, but they still haven't fixed everything yet overall with both console or store exclusivity.Oh, and as a fix for a personal annoyance just patch Final Fantasy IV 3D Remake so that you can choose between EN and JP voice? They're both there, but stupidly locked to one or the other depending on text language. Its a simple fucking fix, but its been years and we still need mods to 'undub' the thing.
>>732195943you sound like some no lifer living inside some bubble who doesn't understand anything about real life
>>732196261damn you sound like a highly unpleasant person
>>732196063i graduated 15 years ago
Gamer girls won
>>732195565There was never a deal in the first place.
>>732196345PC release when?
>>732196383>Square kneecapped their sales FOR FREE
>>732196383There is always a deal
>>732196335So is this evidence of the famous tendie or snoy reaction to a perceived threat to the wallet of their favorite billion dollar company, or are you just in favor of corporate cock in general?
>>732195565The sony exlusivity was quite literally killing them and the final fantasy brand. Ditching that shit is good for everybody in the long run.
>>732195943Wow. This guy is actually detached from reality. Reeks of being a virgin holed up in his mom's basement spending 18 hours in front of his PC and failing to comprehend there is a whole world outside of his little bubble of online cesspool. I'm going to blow your fucking mind. Most well adjusted people don't have or need a PC. Everything they need to do that you typically do on your PC outside of gaming, they can do it on their phones and tablets. If they like games more than usual, MAYBE they will get a console. Paying for a PC that is capable of playing games is degenerate behavior in the eyes of most normal people, especially considering how much they cost. All for what? Having more frame rates? Peak virgin nerd shit nobody cares about aside from said reeking virgin nerds.
>>732196702there are many things killing final fantasy at the moment and quite frankly exclusivity is the least of their worries
>>732196879Financially speaking I wouldn't say it's least of their worries. It's not an insignificant money they lost delaying other platform's ports. Just look at how much noise the Switch verson FF7R made. And Final Fantasy is not GTA, perhaps it never was close to that level even during its peak, so people aren't going to double dip in this case. Going exclusive caused more damage to them than you give it credit.
>>732196863Are you American? Would explain your stupid opinion and the way you write in buzzwords. If you think pc is only for gaming I don't know what to tell you. So many jobs/studies need a pc and a phone is not enough. Even something trivial like accounting needs a pc/laptop, not just a phone.
>>732195540Should I jump on these? They have a little sale on steam right now.
>>732197071>If you think pc is only for gamingHuh...I know reading comprehension is hard, it may be impossible for you. But please, at least TRY to do better than that.
Good, no matter what I love PC versions of jrpg because i can modify the game speed. Most jrpgs have the slowest fucking animations ever made and you can complete then in half of the time
>>732197179This is why I prefer the latest releases of Dragon Quest games. It's been a fairly standard function to give you control over how fast the battles are so if I'm not in the mood, I can set it to ridiculously fast that I never even see any animation. Other times I want to enjoy the animations, then I slow it down. It's the best and should be standard in every game.
Tech-inept zoomies are always a laugh
>>732197175You wrote most well adjusted people don't need or have a pc. How can this be true? Every academic/businessman/worker I know owns a pc/laptop. Even if you have some blue collar job like idk plumber, if it's your company, you will need a pc.
>>732195943"How are consoles still a thing," he asks as building a PC is more expensive than ever
Friendly reminder that SE has absolutely zero Sony exclusives while having tons of Nintendo exclusivesHell even Xbox has a few SE exclusives
>>732196063I work in a construction site and graduated high school 16 years ago
>>732197371Well that sucks for you, but - If it would be your own construction company - you would need a pc still.
>>732197293Ever heard of tablets or macbooks? Next time ask for the specs of those academic/businessmen you "know" (lmao) what the specs of their PCs are and try to think what kind of games they could run on it before you say stupid shit. Jesus christ, do you get off on writing self own after self own?
>>732196014This is the most /v/ post of all time, bravo
>>732197436True, and if my grandma had wheels
>>732197537Super pedantic trying to differentiate between pc specs/tablets/laptops but whatever. How is a MacBook not a computer? I don't get posters like you. You can game on a bad pc/laptop too you know, while doing work on it too.
>>732197115>remakes of 40 year old games that do nothing but censor and cut contentNo.
>>732197753Ok, but I'm not going to play dusty 40 year old games. PC-Engine is the oldest I'm willing to go.
>>7321971151-2 are too short to be worthwhile, although they did add a 4th character in 2.3 has the most meat among them, par for the course.Before anyone else screeches again, yes they all got censored to a degree.I wouldn't get them though. The spritework is detailed yes, but I get filtered by the lack of running animation and the overall stiffness of the visuals.
>>732197832Then don't play the remakes. They're simply not worth experiencing and are overpriced.
>>7321978851+2 HD will run you an easy 80+ hours if you plan on doing everything.
>>732195839>It is no longer sustainable to develop a game for a single platform audience in the modern economyIt's is but that requires putting more effort into you games to create a good product.That's why Nintendo can still live on exclusives while no one else can.
>>732197832That guy is a retard. No story content was removed from 1, 2 or 3. If anything they added more shit for you to do.
Tendies think this means they'll get the latest big dick FF game on their Fisher Price tablet
>>732196063>You never study/ work in a office/research/do any kind of graphics/music/moviesMost phones can do this now.
>>732195540oh wow you mean you don't need to keep sucking Sony's dick for perpetuity even after they abandoned Japan?
>>732198813FF7R 3 is literally already confirmed.
>>732195540It's true. Some of the best games are on the switch
>>732196879No it was actually a fundamental pillar that needed to go asap because now we can finally talkf reely about how fucking garbage final fantasy has become without 50 insane snoyggers insisting that anything that is exclusive is actually the best in the world and of all time and all dimensions.For now I even let the ps1 babies in that think 3 active party members is enough and not extremely limiting but your time will come too where we line you up against the wall and blast you with 4 warriors of light.
>>732195565People always point out Sony deals but never Nintendo. Why the double standard? DQ Monsters: The Dark Prince and DQ Treasures were Switch exclusive for a full year and still aren’t available on other consoles. Then there’s Chocobo GP which is completely exclusive still and flopped. I’ll never get why it’s only ever okay for Nintendo to have exclusives
>>732196702>and the final fantasy brandThe exclusivity deal had nothing to do with FFXVI being a nothingburger compared to the other RPG released in 2023.Getting rid of the exclusivity deal is a great idea but they need something better than XVI if they want the series to be more than just the occasional nostalgia trip for the low price of $74.99 (and a guest character in Tekken).
>>732197617lol wut? /v/ is pcfag central. If anything a “/v/“ post would more likely be some fag screeching in all caps saying their pc isn’t irrelevant
>>732199598probably cause no one has ever heard of those games. Those deals were retarded. oh and Chocobo GP is an iOS game, and they ported the microtransaction to the switch which everyone hated
>>732197257I remember how annoyed I was at FFX because I loved the summon attack animations but hated having to sit through the summoning animations. The game only offered 1 option to disable both together. The fact that they gave that option in the original ps2 release shows they were aware of how annoying and overdone they did it.
>>732199598>People always point out Sony deals but never NintendoBecause there are almost never any deals. Often they're only out on to Nintendo consoles because they see no potential audience for it on any other platforms then they see how much it sells and they port it only for it to flop.
>>732197753>Cut content>When II HD 2D has entire new plotlines, areas, mechanics, and a party memberAt least be genuine in your criticism.>>732197885II HD is longer than III HD, surprisingly enough. I HD is also like 20 hours so you can look at 50-60 hours of gameplay from I-II but only 25-35 from III.
>>732195565you have no games
>>732198779>>732201304>UHHH ACTUALLY THEY ADDED MEANINGLESS FILLER!!! NOW THE GAMES ARE FIVE BILLION HOURS LONG!!!!!
>>732202787I'd say fleshing out the core cast and making one of the blandest DQ games into one of the most narratively consistent and charming is meaningful change. But you just want to rant about censorship because that's the narrative you want to push.
>>732202787>F-FILLERRetard
>>732195772>>732195815I really hope this means that Part 3 will be on PC on launch alongside playstation.
>>732195990Now we just need Nintendo to stop doing it. I don't care about bingslop like Zelda or Mario I just want FE and Xenoblade on PC.
