Can SE shit out 11 FF games in just under one year so they don't look silly for making that easter egg?

>>739423449
lol

if you listened to the dev commentary on this game its crazy that something as simple and missable as a final fantasy joke poster had to go through tons of bureaucratic bullshit that goes all the way up to the board of directors of SE

What do you think her role in a potential XXVII would be?
Protagonist like Lightning? Deuteragonist love interest like Yuna? Main villain like Ultimecia?

>>739423449
yes

No

I really don't think we're going to be up to FF 27 by next year.

Maybe

Why did Mankind Divided bomb so fucking hard?
Was it the writing?

Little to no improvement over HR in most capacities + didn't do anything to try to win back fans of the original game + lingering stigma of the preorder bullshit + DOOD PRAGUE for 90% of the game.
The writing was also bad, but it was already bad in HR and there were so many other problems that it just didn't matter.

weird pre order and BLM marketing put some people off
horrible PC optimization
one of the first users of denuvo which killed any word of mouth marketing
immersive sims just do not sell well

Just ran like shit and was charging too much for too little, and IMO pushed the mechanics too far in favour of stealth despite being fundamentally not a good stealth game with no real distraction tactics, guard route observation or alternate routes.
I mean no imsims do that (apart from people calling Thief an imsim) but they at least let you shoot/blow the place the fuck up and Mankind Divided absolutely does not. Human Revolution very barely did unless you either know how to cheese imsim mechanics or hugged your ass behind cover 99% of the time and neither really work in MD.

IMO I think despite Human Revolution's relative success, it had no legs as a franchise. Not a good stealth, action or social game so it blows through all the interest it gets: that's the real imsim curse, being kinda shit at everything.
Prague was real fucking pretty, though. People complain how much was Prague, I was fine with even more Prague if they felt like it.

>>739425706
Because most people saw how bad HR was so they didnt fall for that shit again

>>739425706
its just a dead genre

md sold like shit
prey sold like shit

1. Sqeenix bullshit with ingame shop, one-time usable consumables.
2. Unfinished story. A lot of people bum-rushed the story and ended the game in 12 hours or so, with a very unclimactic ending. The ending is technically complete - you got almost bombed, you CT, you investigated the perpetratorm, you foiled and killed the perpetrator. But it feels bad because HR's plot was much more eventful. And so people have beef with that.
3. BLM happened, and a lot of retarded schizos jumped onto bandwagon equating BLM and Aug Protests in-game, drawing a conclusion (its fucking retarded, but they managed that somehow - dont ask how retard's brain works) that game was promoting BLM.
4. Some people just did not like that hub was just Prague. Its a very detailed hub, with a LOT of things going on there, but its still that same one hub.
5. People expected continuation. Jensen's Stories is a great thing, but we only got Criminal Past (which is absolutely magnificent), and that Palisade Blade (its ok). There were more to come, supposedly, but Squeenix pulled the plug, leaving the game unfinished, in order to peddle a fucking multiplayer that noone likes.
6. Some gameplay fuckups - like shotgun being unable to use armor-piercing ammo, EMP ammo for revolver that is unusable and you only find it in one table drawer in London mission. SMG being fucked by silencer, thus turning it into peashooter. Pistol being OP. Tranquiliser rifle being reskinned sniper rifle. Lancer being 3-shot for no reason. No crossbow. No heavy rifle, plasma/laser rifles. No missile launcher. Grenade boxes holding 10 rounds instead of 12. Lack of safe storage. Dropped items despawning when changing levels/using tube.

Game is good, but it has issues. I blame Squeenix.

SE being money grubbing retards and shitting on any goodwill HR managed to create.

that blm=anti aug shit was so fucking dumb, the game spells it out the elites/illuminati increase and decrease societal pressure whenever they want with shitty identity politics movements and riots.
