I have a feeling the next mainline Final Fantasy is going to be turn based.
Move over JRPGs the reign of FRPGs is just beginning.
>>739582197Nah, that would mean they would have to admit defeat and that they were wrong trying to evolve FF from being ATB and turn based. Japs didn't like this game so they're not going to copy it. Also FF17 was probably already being made during FF16 and going to be actionslop as well.
>>739582197Nobody fucking played E33 so making the next FF an unfun boring garbage game because E33 bought awards thanks to the nepo baby developer having a daddy which owns 4 corporations won't make Square Enix win 20 awards.
>>739582573This. Why do these idiots still care about something like the Goy Awards? Do they seriously think that if SE had released this game, it would have won any of these awards?
>>739582197I have a feeling we live in a simulation when a million zoomies unanimously decided they hate turn-based ironically, forgot it was ironic, then hailed the shittiest turn-based RPGs in history as the best games
>>739582197Why would japs care about random western journalists giving a game 10/10 because a billionaire bribed them with money?
>>739582573>>739582816>>739582954fat otakus malding
>>739582573>Nobody fucking played E33what about the 8 million people that bought it
>>739583685They didn't play it.
>>739583812>7x higher peak than FFXVIOof.
So here's the thing. OP is right, it most likely will be. But not because of E33 explicitly, but because E33 was SUCCESSFUL. Square is at an all time low in terms of their shamelessness and are desperate for more money, that's why they keep doing fuckass moves for the past 5-10 years. Service shooters. Turning FF into an ARPG. Turning Dissidia into a gacha, AGAIN. Shoveling out more and more of their 2D "HD" slop. Hell, they even started a contest IN JAPAN for people to SUBMIT THEIR OWN GAMES. And whoever's the most popular is the one that will be published by them or whatever. It's fucking pathetic. It's all to make money, because this company is so creatively fucking bankrupt and up their ass egotistically because they made ONE popular series at a time and have been delusional about it for the past 20 fucking years. If any other game popped off with a turn based style, a game that revolved around orcs or whatever, its aesthetic is all kittens and sunshines or some shit, it would be the same story. SE would pursue it because it's POPULAR, and because it KEEPS getting compared to FF as a mocking point on SE's end. So, it will happen. Because Square is a fucking dogshit company. Enjoy your slop, I guess.
>>739583916Yet less than half than every other game it went against in 2025. One would ponder "how does a game nobody played wins every single award and gets movie rights before the game is even released"?
>>739583812>Compare with othersSo, why don’t you compare it with Rebirth?
>>739584029>indie slop>psuedo incel slop
>>739584034>6.5x more than RebirthDouble oof.
>>739582197>Turn Based
>>739584113Sorry, not pseudo, I mean pseud.
>>739584171Why not suede?
>>739582467If Japs hated it why are they selling 7000 yen Japanese chibi (pronounced chai- bus) merchandise for it
>>739584029>retard comparing peak player counts Silksong was massively hyped for years, it peaked immediately after launch.Expedition had little marketing, it debuted to low numbers, and its peak player count ended up growing every day until peaking weeks after launch, which is extremely rare for a new release.
>>739584204I don't wear it.
>>739582197doesn't matter. Square already is rotten from the inside, they have inhouse adviser for the western market. It's just a slow and ugly death
>>739584029>movie rights before the game is even released"?why is that hard to believe?they probably sold the license for 500 dollars
>>739584247>Expedition had little marketingWhy are you gaslighting?It got fucking MOVIE RIGHTS and news coverage 24/7 before release. And the second it released Asmongold started shilling it like crazy and telling everyone to buy.I really don't get why you losers try some pathetic history revisionism. I'm glad you enjoyed the game but there's no reason to pretend it's not an industry plant.
>>739584815>news coverage 24/7 before release.no it didn't retard or we would have retards on /v/ making bait threads about it nonstop, you faggots only started seething about E33 every single day when it was nominated for everything last november
>10+ million dollar budget>funded by Israel>outsourced animation>movie deal before the game was even out>"indie"they didn't even try to hide the shilling
>>739585014Yea, but it's still a masterpiece.
>>739585049that you had a blast playing?
>>739584897Dunno what you could possibly gain from trying to gaslight people but the catalog was 24/7 full of threads, specially of pictures of the girls telling people to play the game because "MAELLE IS 16 YEARS OLD!! COME PEDO BROS LET'S PLAY THIS GAME!"You should save gaslighting for real life relationships, not videogame forums.
>>739585014>Israeljust be brave and say jews faggot leftist
>>739585014Even today /v/ still gets E33 shill threads every couple of hours. These fuckers are still getting paid to do this.
>>739585014My favorite part was how its shills tried to sell it as "Just 3 friend redditors trying to learn coding from their basement! they even recruited the voice actors from reddit <3 it was a small project!" and then it turns out all employees were experienced Ubisoft employees, the voice actors are expensive actors with lots of experience like fucking Andy Serkis and when they were caught using AI everyone pretended they didn't.
>>739585114what did sandfall do now to anger you r/gamingcirclejerk cucks
>>739585014>>739585152How are thirdies still seething about GOTY? You lost, let it go.
>>739584029>>739584815>>739585014>muh movieStory Kitchen buys the rights to fucking everything.https://www.story-kitchen.com/projects
>game is bad because meta reasons unrelated to the gameKek. Buy Expedition 33 today. It's 20% off and that is an excellent deal for the most awarded game in history by users and critics alike!
ubisoft is actually sending jeets to try to badmouth Sandfall and of course they use faggot leftist tactics by calling everything they don't like Israel and white supremacist
>>739585312I honestly can't tell you why the actual in game content is bad because, like its fans, i haven't played it.I did however see this webm and it didn't look very promising...
>>739585457silksissies lost to THIS????
>>739585319> J-jeets are the ones hating E33>> 2 seconds in google> Indians are the biggest supporters and shills of E33. . .
>>739585312You know it's a masterpiece when the only criticism is it cost too much to make and was made by too many people.
>>739585457>they actually animated him chopping his cock off while millions clap and cheerholy kek
>>739585550>didn't show the likes because they were like 2ubislop is not sending their best
>>739585457>I haven't played itAnd there it is.I have played it, and it's in my all-time top 5.
>>739585554You know it's an industry plant when its only praise is lies about it being an indie game, sudden change of mind about the importante of the Game Awards (TLOU season 2 tv show got an award RIGHT before E33 won GOTY btw) and the fact all the threads here in 4chan about the game are just porn threads or pedos thirsting over the underage female character.
Japanese people have zero imagination when it comes to character concepts and story. They pour all their creativity into gameplay and the worlds, but the moment narrative and character development comes into play, they fold. E33 buries every single JRPG because it does something the japs can't do. Make a sincere narrative with realistic dialogue that isn't some derivative anime garbage.They have been exposed by E33.
>>739585457>He still only posts the webm from the joke DLCEternally bootyblasted faggot
>>739585550>Largest and cheapest click farms is under contract of most shilled game of the decade >pikachu face
>>739585642are you sure you're not talking about silksong?
>>739585642>It's not a masterpiece because industry plant and 4chan threads I'm too stupid to filterKekaroo
>>739585603> J-just 2 likes!> 250 likes and 200 commentsAnd that's just one of the multiple, multiple, MULTIPLE threads praising and shilling E33 in Indians subreddits. Which leads to the question, why indians love E33 so much?
>>739585550>r/indiangamers>Fucking redditSeethe
>>739585607What did you like about it anon?The fact that you can run around as a bare foot girl?The fact that it makes you feel good you're playing an "indie" game that's actually a triple A game?Or the fact that Asmongold told you to play it?
>>739585713these comments are kind of overwhelming compared to the likes, i am guess they are seething about it, also it's really weird how you just have access to that post.Are you sure you're not indian?
>>739582197E33 a shit
>>739585771But you said indians hate it and are making threads against it... so how come indians love it?
>>739585793>seething about israel and asmongolem nonstopit's so obvious that you're a reddit tranny, just stop
>>739584815I was one of the 3 anons hyped for the game, the only marketing it had was its youtube channel which barely had any views.It was wild seeing people pick up on it so fast but it wasn't a surprise because turned based games have been dead for like two decades
Expedition 33 might be one of the best games of the decade but I just can't ignore the fact that a bunch of non diverse yt dudes used daddie's money to make and advertise it.
>Making multiple expedition 33 threads hate threads EVERY day
>>739586027this, also why is there no indian rep, 2 white guys?racist game
turn based is better because then girls can play the game. not joking. they are leaving a massive market untapped. millenial white women loved 10 and then never played another ff game because all the ones after it did weird shit with the combat that they literally perfected in 10.just make another jrpg with a good story and copy 10's gameplay and also set it in a similar beach-themed world so you can have ass and titties.
>>739582197Not happening, the bitter gen xers running SE right now are too stubborn to give up on action rpgs.
>>739585014Is there a source for literally any of this
>>739587767Just another schizo seething white people made a better FF in the last 20 years than the japanese
>>739582197Why'd you attach a non-turn-based-game to go with this post? Are you a sebbytard?
>>739588671You're never going to accomplish anything anon, your mental illness will never let you amount to anything more than sealclapping for slop that gets circlejerked by journos on the rare occasion that it was made by talentless rats with the skin color you wish you had. Keep posting here, your life will never be good :)
>>739582197>the most astroturfed turd based game of all time couldn't even get close to Elden Ring numbers
>>739582197Won't matter. XIII, XV, XVI, and Remakes ruined the brand image beyond repair.
>>739583812isn't that concurrent players kekwho the fuck cares
>>739582197Probably not
>>739588849Go ahead and prove E33 is an israel fund baby then schizo :) unless you can't?
>>739586043most e33 threads are made by fans with pro e33 OP posts, but the majority of posts in every e33 thread is negativity towards the game. very strange, you don't really see this with other games, even ones that shitposters have their targets on.
>>739590607Kek he can't do it because he won't, what a pussy ass lying saar
How come every time I go into one of these threads, literally no one, not the haters nor the fans, ever bring up that this game is obviously made by Freemasons? That the title itself literally tells you that this game is Masonic, that the story and themes scream Freemasonic gnosticism? Are you all completely fucking retarded?
>>739582197I hope it is. You know why? Because it’ll still suck. The problem with modern Final Fantasy isn’t that it doesn’t have turn-based combat, it’s literally EVERYTHING else.
>>739592881To be fair, the series fell off after it stopped having turned based combat with 10.
>>739582197If it is, then I won't play it.
If it is it might actually sell. That would be a nice change of pace for Square Enix.
>>739584815It’s always funny seeing faggots anons like this try to rewrite history thinking they’re slick. As someone that was hyped for this game the moment the announcement trailer dropped this game had literally 0 marketing. It didn’t show up to any of the big gaming showcases. Got locked to being marketed by Xbawx because gamespass. Released at the exact same time as the Oblivion Remake which everyone thought would eclipse its launch. This game literally blew up because of word of mouth.
>If it is it might actually sell.turd based troons don't buy games.
>>739593864It's very funny they basically made 16 just so they could learn how to make the combat better for 7R.
>>739593864
>>739593912they should drop that tranny looking character for a start.anime games are getting too gay
>>739592513Maybe it's because we don't have schizophrenia.
>>739593912
Final Fantasy should focus on competiton it almost has a chance to beat.
yooo this combat is fire!!!
>the most astroturfed game of all time couldn't even hit 10 million
>>739592513Yes the plot of the game is fighting the demiurge and then choosing between destroying the false reality or embracing it even if it destroys your soul. Happy now?
>>739594308demon souls only sold half a million in it's first year.E33 is actually 10 times more successful than fromslop
>>739585114Shill threads on 4chan is not marketing. No one is writing reviews about this game saying someone from 4chin tipped them off about it. >>739585175>My favorite part was how its shills tried to sell it as "Just 3 friend redditors trying to learn coding from their basement! The initial proto phase of the game was literally that. There’s literal YouTube videos of when the was unironically just an RPG asset flip. >they even recruited the voice actors from reddit <3 No they initially reached out to 1 person to do voice work for the game and in the end she ended being one of the writers instead. >it was a small project!" and then it turns out all employees were experienced Ubisoft employees, They didn’t even try to hide this they openly stated that they worked with Ubisoft lmao >the voice actors are expensive actors with lots of experience like fucking Andy Serkis Andy Serkis probably took a pay cut because he does this shit for love of the game. Charlie Cox did all his line in less than a day so he probably walked away with like 150K. Outside of that everyone else was already a VA that did work in games. >and when they were caught using AI everyone pretended they didn't.No one did this nigger Get owned
>>739594264Yes. If you want to see a genuinely bad game, then look at honkai shit rail.
>>739593912I fucking hate Persona's style of storytelling.>Oh hey you want to follow an interesting side story?>Well go complete two dungeons in between its arcs and if you focus on it instead of the Wednesday night Karaoke you're building suboptimally.
>>739594257like what?infinite wealth?it can't beat crimson desert which it feels like it desperately wants toit's nowhere near e33
>>739594308Square Enix wishes every day they were Fromsoft. Small, agile, and with their fingers on the pulse of their audience. Square Enix hasn't made their audience happy since the PS2...
i'm afraid for clair obscur's future, the jews will get their dirty claws on every western IP there is, they might already by meddling with it and turning clair obscur 2 into another veilguard.At least FF is safeguarded away from jews, we really need to deal with the kikes, how are they allowed to just control the entire creative expression in the west
You know what they say.
>>739594152>twice as much as rebirth and xvi combined in half the time Grim
>>739594402you think any final fantatroon is going to argue with you in good faith?
i bought it during the awards show and before that i would only see a thread once in a while about it but never clicked on it because i thought it was a porn game
>>739594786this applies to Resident evil and those shitty overwatch clones too, sadly the average /v/ user is too retarded to click on a thread unless they get baited by softcore porn
>>739582197They wont. They consistently get absolutely BTFO by their own turn based IPs that cost pennies to make. SE is trying to kill FF by making the most expensive flops so they can sell the IP off without pissing investors off.
>>739588938Now you should ask the other 7999769 people who played it.
>>739594864porn or twitter screencapsyou can only choose one
>>739594909Jesus I never thought I'd see Octopath outselling Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth three times over. They better pray they're not repeating the FF13 trillogy curse even though it lools like they are.
Don't you have an Aerith thread to bump from page 10 again?
>>739588938this board saw 40 000 unique IPs at it's peak (current number isn't even 10% of that anymore) and you got 200 votes, half of which are you going through proxies and you see this as some big win when the game sold 8 million copies? lmao@(You)
But that would be smart and SE doesn't do smart.
>>739594909It really is too bad that they threw all this away by turning it into another failed gacha. Also, 2D-HD has never been good and they need to drop that shit hard. A lesson they'll hopefully learn when The Adventures of Literally Who flops.
getting a sequel before your dogshit.
>>739582197No, it won't. That would would require Squeenix admitting they were wrong.
>>739594909The first time they are profitable in years in the HD games department and it's being carried by tactics and dq lmao
>>739593897>Released at the exact same time as the Oblivion Remake which everyone thought would eclipse its launch.And now Oblivion Remastered is forgotten, while /v/ is still utterly obsessed with E33. That's all you need to know.
>>739585457lmao this cosmetic makes a lot more sense in the context of the area you get it from. I greatly appreciate that area and how much it completely rocked my shit the first time I showed up.
>>739582197>mediocre journo slop wins a gajillion awards during the single worst era for video games in history >genuine retards think that makes it an seminal masterpiece that will have far reaching impact on the future of the mediumfor how much this game looks aesthetically like Bioshock Infinite, you guys really did forge tabout Bioshock Infinite.
>>739585793I think it's pretty, even if the overworld movement is kinda janky.
>>739594909I thought they stopped announcing sales because of Rebirth?
>>739593912I couldn't get into metaphor. First 15 hours on high difficulty feels like the game had genuinely one solution to every fucking fight and watching the interesting setting turn into friends are my powerslop took the wind out of my sails
>>739594264I love my corrupted wife
>>739595538Every game in the FF13 trillogy outsold Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. We need to go back to Lightning!
>>739595716did you make this in unreal using premade assets just to memeor is this actually from the game
>>739582573trvth nvke
>>739595708I thought I was the only one who couldn't get over how this ugly ahh game looked like the bastard child of Bioshock Infinite and Elden Ring.
>>739595740Nah, the req for FF is 3m. If a FF game fails to sell 3m it doesn't get announced.
>>739595740Lol no. That was just some nomurafag cope because it flopped. They announce sales any chance they get.
>>739595819It's just some random spot in Lumiere. I really like playing with the built-in photo mode.
Don't worry guys, Nomura is carrying.
>>739595950i feel like this trend started with Cyberpunk 2077where a bunch of cooked zoomers started taking these awful screenshots of soulless games and posting them all over the board
>>739596021People like taking pictures. What a weird thing to be mad about. Are you balding or what?
>>739582197That would imply SE actually had a semblance of self awareness which they don't.>>739590142Numberfags are too stupid to realize E33 sold on word of mouth and didn't have a hyped release so it didn't have a singular burst of players in one go but had people gradually play it over long term. The fact that the game has managed to sell 8 million, seemingly not seeing any significant drop off in sales is proof of that. Only retards think concurrent players is a 1 to 1 metric for judging sales.
>>739596021Oh shush you. My screenshots are beautiful works of art
>>739596063>point out dysgenic behavior >get accused of being madnext I'll get accused of projecting by the tranny glopman
Truly the I hate rap but like Eminem of vidya
>>739582197The MTG crossover was the most successful FF game in decades. The next game will be a turn based card battler.
>>739596072This. It's about having good legs. E33 is still among the daily Steam top 100 sellers, frequently entering the top 10s and other daily best seller lists. Final Fantasy sells 1m day one (if they're lucky), everyone realizes this franchise hasn't been good since the PS2 and it sinks like a brick.
>>739584815I can absolutely tell you're a poser that didn't even know E33 existed when it came out. You lying piece of shit. No ammount of gaslighting and historical revisionism can change reality.
>>739596157It makes me happy knowing that people are having fun despite you.
>>739595926Some FF games get a 1m announcement.
>>739596264Honestly with posts like that I genuinely can't tell if they're just shitposting or if they're just actually too stupid to understand the nuances of the data they're looking at.
Clea a cute
>>739585793>Or the fact that Asmongold told you to play it?Actually some random dude in a TF2 community server told me to play it. I said I'd heard about it and it doesn't interest me. He said "I thought the same, trust me, just play it" and so I took a punt and it ended up being one of my top 3 games of the decade.I also never watched a single Asmongold video before that. I had no idea who he was or what he did besides the name and his face posted on /v/. I started to watch the first episode of his Expedition 33 let's play since I loved the game so much and it didn't take me long to conclude that he's an ugly boring cunt with zero talent for entertainment.
What mods are you're using? Is there randomizers or something else gameplay enhancing?
>>739596378Oh woaw, didn't even know they were celebrating that low now. Rebirth really must thave redefined what they consider a win. Dark times.
>>739596469@grok change it to bukkake
>>739596549It's a rerelease of a low budget spin off probably made on 1/100 the budget of FFXVI you moron.
>>739596491Based TF2 enjoyer
>>739596541I'm just rawdogging it, but I would appreciate a mod to make the camera movement faster when going long distances. These maps are fucking huge. This was taken from the starting location.
>>739596580I agree with you. What's the problem?
>>739596580got gaped by the original tho
>>739585607ive been thinking about playing it because i hear it has a tear jerking ending, and ive been binging sad games lately. im not a competionist or anything, roughly how long is the story in hours?
>>739596573IN NAGASAKIWE LIKE BUKKAKEI regret not getting the full bukkake shot. This one is only a partial, but I promise it comes immediately after in the cutscene
>>739596697Took me 40ish hours.
>>739582197Nobody gives 5 shits about Final Faggotry after 7 and 10. It's not the PS2 era anymore. Now Persona 6? THAT is the one people are actually looking forward to, uncs and zoomers alike.
>>739596816Persona 6 is never coming out lmao
>>73959669730-40 hours. It's not a long game but you can pump it to 50-60 if you do the post game shit.
>>739596697Main story is about 40-50 hours. All the extra shit will get you at least double that. Longer if you farm lumina for the endgame superbosses. I recommend going in mostly blind for the story.
>>739582197Didn't play the FF7 remakes but the trails in the sky remake combat is my favorite so far
>>739596816>>739596875This but SMT6
>>739596918Another AAA game getting gaped by E33? The French are onto something...
>>739597020Now post sales :)
>>739597020I wonder how buying reviews works anyway. Do you just, fucking ask the person to give it a good score with the promise of money?
>>739596973I think I prefered Trails beyond the Horizon's combat, but the Sky remake had a ton of heart. Really loved that game.
>>739597020>change sister to random token negro>get all the 10/10sit really is that simple
>>739582197Some of the E33 devs wenre invited to square HQ a while ago, wonder how some of their conversations went.>"Hai hai ettoooo..... how did you make game?">"HON HON HON WE MAKE LE TURN BASED, LIKE YOU USED TO DO HON HON BAGUETTE FAGGUETTE" And then someone at square was reminded of how the company used to make turn based jrpgs and good games, but that it doesn't matter now and they need to be bad on purpose and chase trends and a new audience that doesn't exist.
>>7395968165 was a fluke. nobody cares about faglus.
>>739596973Kiseki combat is always great.
>>739582197They wont do it because they can't compete with E33 and don't want to be humiliated again
>>739597230>>"HON HON HON WE MAKE LE TURN BASED, LIKE YOU USED TO DO HON HON BAGUETTE FAGGUETTE" I imagine that's exactly how it went.
>>739597241What? Like the only Atlus game that hasn't done fantastically was the P3 remake. Everything else they've made since P5 has sold great.
>>739597230They did a bunch of these visits. Seem like cool guys.
>>739582197Least obvious astroturfing of the year...
>>739597575the koreans in general seemed to have really liked e33
>>739597583silksong sucked ass and had psyop intersex racemixx bugzz everywhere, kys. e33 won fair and square. kys again.
>>739597650I really like that they gave Eve an expedition uniform for their GOTY win. Hope the two companies can make something cool together in the future.
>>739597820>"I really like that they put the current popular thing on Eve in a pathetic attempt to shill her painfully generic design."Yeah, that was really thoughtful.
>>739597230Square makes more turd based games than any other company retard.
They'd have to fix a lot more than the combat to get me back on board but it would be a good start.
>>739597530metaflop got it's royal edition cancelled kek.
>>739597928They literally said before it released that they're never going to the enhanced editions again and the only reason sales of Metaphor "fell off" was because it was their fastest selling game ever.
>>739597890I liked her, she was pretty, and the E33 uniforms look cool. Modelling and rendering that stuff takes time and effort.Although I see why you'd be confused.
>>739597892That wasn't made by SE.
>>739597965Why would you just ruin an Indian man's narrative like that?
>>739585014notice how the shills stopped even trying to call it an indie passion project>>739585642>all the threads here in 4chan about the game are just porn threadsof the same 10 pics lmao
>>739598090Funny how I always saw 10 times as many posts claiming it's not indie than I ever saw claim it was.
>>739598090Turns out you can easily just lie on the internet.
>>739597530You're talking to a buck broken Rebirth schizo who spent over a year saying Rebirth would win goty just to be raped by Metaphor. Now he looks got any reason to cry about Atlus.
>>739598157Because "i-it's not indie" was never actually posted to counter claims that it was, it was used to dishonestly shit on the game cause retards like him are too stupid to actually argue why the game is bad, they can never do that it's jut "it's shilled" "it's not indie" "it's all marketing" but never attacks on the game itself.
>>739597991and they wonder why it flopped lmao
>>739597890This is really funny given that Stellar Blade is also an incredible success story like E33. Both make you trannies mad.
>>739598234Man that was such a wild year. Never before or after have I seen delusion THAT deep.
>>739582573Holy faggotry, Batman!The cope emanating from this is unreal.
>>739597965>because it was their fastest selling game ever.It's always funny when metaflop sissies say this. when p5 took a year to come out outside of Japan. Metalfop has less CCV than Rebirth right now btw.
>>739597991Why is that nigger's hands white?
>>739582197never underestimate square's ability to fuck up
>>739582197>E33 shill thread>Not a single E33 gameplay screenshot or discussion.Their game is so shit the shills only reason for existing is to shit on other games.
>>739598234kek>>739598356
>>739598157Because there are at least 10x as many correct anons than there are lying shillsIf le word of mouth marketing kept claiming the game was indie and it was quickly proven not to be, then most people would assume the posts praising E33 were made by shills.>>739598261>retards like him are too stupid to actually argue why the game is badAnd shills have failed to actually argue why the game is good>but never attacks on the game itself>implying anti-shills haven't been calling the game turd-based parry-slopI've even asked the shills to post pics and vids of how good the game looks and it always looks bad. For people pretending to like artsy stuff, they're really bad at art. Therefore it's safe for me to assume shills have shit taste.
>>739598395>>739598423Seethe tranny
>>739584235Nobody bought this and all the fanart for this game is made by non japs
>suddenly koreashillsJapan doesn't even know your slop exists.
>>739598423>w-well actually you need to say why it's good firstKWAB
>>739598370Because Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is low quality trash made by brown people for brown people.
>>739598370Because deep down, there's a little good in all of us.
SE is worried that people will laugh at how silly turn based looks if they went back to it.
>>739597776The Indians left. Nobody is backing your delusions anymore.
>>739598370Because they knew they couldn't win goty with that gameplay/story so they tried to pander to journos last minute by race swapping and adding token faggots everywhere.It didn't work btw and it got stomped and lost every award.
>>739598378Shut up goy. Go pay for the new gacha.
>>739598584All these characters look exactly the same to me. I swear I'm developing some sort of Nomura-fatigue.
>>739598463>>739598509Hey look more posts of shills incapable of proving they're not a brown shill. I like how you always reply to my posts 2 times to try and hide that you're not samefagging, and then reply 1 or 2 more times 30 minutes later when I call you out on samefagging.>>739597776>brings up silksong out of no where Damn you still seething about winning awards no one cares about?
>>739598370Holy KEK

>>739598661Meant to tag >>739598529 too
>>739598659Nobody cares about your "but where's muh gameplay" concern trolling you samefagging dumbass. Don't you have some newer game threads to shitpost in with your Discord tranny cohorts?
>>739598704Admittedly, my comment >>739598529 is the punchline for the joke "Why are the bottom of black peoples' feet white?" but I felt it relevant for >>739598370 nonetheless.
>>739598717>"but where's muh gameplay"I didn't say that. I called the game turd based parry slop.>concern trollingI don't think you know what that means. Did you just copy paste that from a list of buzz words they gave you? I know I've called you shills out before for incorrectly using internet linguo. Maybe you're not a shill, maybe just a esl turd-worlder.>you samefagging dumbass>no youlmao>Don't you have some newer game threads to shitpost in with your Discord tranny cohorts?>projectingI bet you bring up E33 whenever you get the chance in popular threads. lol
>>739594909Damn. They were just celebrating 6 million like 5-6 months ago. Maybe we'll get a part 3 announcement soon.
>>739598871Doesn't really count if you're celebrating the series though
>>739582197The combat is genuinely the worst part of Expedition 33.>Nuke or be nuked.You're either over-levelling the content via repetitive grinding or using the strongest nuke attacks in your arsenal.The combat is shit.
>>739598561>they couldn't win goty with that gameplay/story so they tried to pander to journosWell enough about E33.
>>739598938Who needs journalists when you have palyers?
>>739598923>You're either over-levelling the content via repetitive grinding or using the strongest nuke attacks in your arsenal.Just like my autobattler gacha games, but worse since the characters have less personality than my gachasluts.
>>739596005He's carrying his IP to the grave, yeah.
>>739598993>posts awards where player votes are only worth 10% and journo votes are worth 90%What did xe mean by this?
Sex with Clea
>>739599076Lying on the internet isn't nice Anon.
>>739582573>>739582992>muh bought awardsWhat exactly is stopping any other publisher from using their significantly larger piles of money to buy awards too? And how does that explain the user scores?
>>739585152If it was so cheap, wouldn't we see every game getting an equal amount of shill threads?
>>739598938You haven't played it. I know this for an absolute fact.
>>739585457>look at how silly this joke outfit looks lmao the game sucks
We need him now more than ever.
>>739598423>And shills have failed to actually argue why the game is good The gameplay is fun, the story is amazing, the characters are great, the music is amazing, the graphics look great. If you're not convinced, you can either play it (pirate it of you think it's marketing and don't want to give them money, I don't care) to form your own opinion, or ignore these threads.
>>739585550So true! Look at all these indians at the concert!
>>739599462>buy awards and reviews to inflate the value of your new startup company>sell stonks at over inflated value to more than cover initial investmentsOlder publishers and studios get little or no ROI if they were to do the same. It's like coca cola buying up 75% ad time for the super bowl commercials, when they already have billboards in the stadiums and concession stands only serve coke products.>>739599635Unironically looks better than the vids the shills post. Shows more "gameplay" too.>>739599763>pirate it of you think it's marketing and don't want to give them money, I don't care) to form your own opinion>implying that some of us shitting on E33 didn't already do that
>>739599879Damn it's even worse than I thought. It's all basedlennials and a handful of zoomers working as ushers.
>>739598871It's the power of positive word of mouth. Final Fantasy wouldn't know shit about that nowadays.
>>739599882>sell stonks at over inflated value to more than cover initial investmentsPretty weird they haven't done that then. Seems to me the right time to cash in and go public would've been right after the game awards.>Unironically looks better than the vids the shills post.Are these shills in the room with us now?>Shows more "gameplay" too. It doesn't show any of the actual gameplay, meaning the combat. This is a JRPG so the combat is the main focus.>implying that some of us shitting on E33 didn't already do thatIf so, I'm sorry about your skin color. Any White person who did the same would love this game. Browns simply can't get it.
>>739598423We never called the game indie. We called it an AA game. You just don't want to believe the word of mouth marketing because your a silksong shill. 4chan was down when E33 came out. We were all having so much fun playing E33 and talking about it on reddit and discord that we didn't even notice 4chan came back up. That's why threads took so long to gain traction on /v/.
>>739591651>but the majority of posts in every e33 thread is negativity towards the gameMeds. Now. You're hallucinating again.
>>739583685You mean the copies the CCP bought?
>>739599751Do we?
>>739594257>sales fluctuated around 10k because everyone keeped refunding after falling for the shilling>all the bought awards gave them a grand total of 90k sales, most of which were again refundedMore like KWABOTY
>>739600089>Seems to me the right time to cash in and go public would've been right after the game awards.Nope. Not until right before the movie comes out and a sequel is announced, so those in the club(marks) can get in on the ground floor.>It doesn't show any of the actual gameplayTraveling and exploring is part of gameplay, unironically.>>739600235What do you mean buying lots of copies of your own book just so you can slap on the label best-seller is just a marketing ploy? 8 million copies is 8 million copies. It's a best-selling game for selling so much in just one year.>>739600147>we didn't even notice 4chan came back up. That's why threads took so long to gain traction on /v/.You mean the contract to shill on 4chan was cancelled because they thought it was down for good and it took them awhile to make up a new contract when 4chan came back up? LMAO. And you're still here shilling to keep up appearances until Sandfall goes public.
>>739594152Common turnBASED W like expected
>>739600235Walk me through your jeet-brain delusions. Why the fuck would China, a country only second to India in E33 seething because nonwhite literally are genetically incapable of enjoying the game, buy any copies of this game?
>>739600493Because it's a Chinese game, retard.
>>739585550YupAI33 had Tencent and Blackrock money with Ubisoft shill experience Most astroturfed slop I've ever seen
>>739600523>Founded in 2020 in France, Sandfall Interactive is a video game studio developing premium 3D games for PC and new gen consoles.>SAARRR, DO THE NEEDFUL AND USE CHATGPT TO SEARCH THINGS. SAARR, DONT SPREAD MISINFORMATION YOU BLOODY BENCHOD!!!!Frenchies creating a white litmus test that outs third worlders is their best invention in hundreds of years.
>>739600602>implying the French aren't the exact same people as the Chinese Next you'll say Canadians aren't just Minnesotans.
>>739582197Nobody buys turn based gamesEveryone loved XVI and RebirthYou're constant e33 shill campaign is not real
>>739600409>Not until right before the movie comes out and a sequel is announcedThat's assuming there even will be a movie. Anyway, will you admit you were wrong when this happens and they don't go public?That also seems like a worse strategy since it will be years from now. By then everyone will have forgotten and their stock price will be at a natural level. If this was their goal, they should have announced the movie and sequel at the game awards and then cashed out.>Traveling and exploring is part of gameplay, unironically. Well yes, but it's not the focus or what people talk about. That's the combat. The walking part of the gameplay is very simple.Just because you're so retarded, I'll make an exception and reply to the rest of your post that wasn't directed at me.>What do you mean buying lots of copies of your own book just so you can slap on the label best-seller is just a marketing ployInteresting claim, and one that would demolish their stock value if proven. Surely you have evidence?Why didn't SE for example do this for rebirth instead of letting it flop?>the contract to shill on 4chanTell me, why doesn't every game have this kind of shilling contract if it's so cheap and capable of turning your game from a flop to a generational masterpiece?
>>739599203My bad thought it was TGA. Here is a screenshot of how E33fans feel about the 2025 Golden Joystick Awards.>>739600631Can Canadians make hoosier pie without maple syrup?

>>739585894I'll ignore this
>>739582197The next FF will be an Elden Ring clone not some obscure game everyone forgot about immediately
>>739600903They already tried a FF soulslike with Flopgers of Flopadise: Flopal Floptasy Flopagin.
>>739582197Probably not. This game is barely one to begin with, it’s closer to Souls than anything else
>>739582457Powerful
XVI-2 is coming soonThe future of Final Fantasy is DMC kino
>>739582197E33 had bad broken gameplay though where defensive stats didn't matter since you just parry and avoid every attack. Pretty shallow.
I don't trust SE with Final Fantasy anymore. Still won't buy it if even if it's turn based unless they the current retards responsible for FF are nowhere near it.
>>739600785>That also seems like a worse strategy since it will be years from now.That's the problem with you non-whites. You can't really think that far ahead into the future. I just learned the other day how mattress stores actually make money. They find cheap leases that they hold onto for YEARS and YEARS and then get a big payout when they get paid to cancel their lease, when another company like Starbucks wants the space.>and one that would demolish their stock value if proven>implying potential shareholders care more about real products than marketing non senseIt's like you've never heard about the bullshit ways streamers count viewers for their new shows to attract new subscribers and investers. When it's revealed that viewers accidentally clicking onto the link to the new show because it's at the top of the app/page when you open it counts as a view, shareholders don't do shit.>>739600785>why doesn't every game have this kind of shilling contract if it's so cheapGames from established IPs insist upon themselves. They use cheaper shilling contracts because of the low ROI. Like I already said more expensive shilling has a bigger ROI for a new company with a new IP. High risk high reward.
>>739601473>>739600785I should also add. Notice how COD, Halo, FIFA, NBA 2K, and Madden never get shilled here? Normies already eat that shit up. The cost of shilling it here wouldn't even be worth it.
>>739592513Yes, and?
>>739601084You don't even need to parry or dodge. Just go full damage and one shot everything.
>>739582197>33Unironic Masonic Trash.
>>739592513One of my college professors was a freemason and wore big brass masonic ring. No one else noticed except for me.>Are you all completely fucking retarded?Freemason lore isn't brought up that often here almost as if it's being suppressed. This is a freemason website thoughbeit. All I know is the freemason symbol has a compass and square.
Normies hate turn-based combat and plenty of them complained about it in E33, the reason why E33 got a pass is because it's a short game (and pushed by influencers).
>>739594992Anon. As much as I like Octopath, this is collectively for Octopath Traveler 1, 2, and 0. And 0 sold the least among them.
>>739598871They were celebrating 6 million sometime before OT0 released, hence collectively just form OT1 and OT2.OT2 mogs both and I ended up burning out with OT0 because it just dragged on way too long. OT1 just has seniority and is basically a beta.
>Couldn't even hit 33 million like Breath of the Wild
>>739582197Yeah, right. And the next Fallout game is going to be turn based. Not happening. Retards are gonan retard.
>>739599635What is a valid criticism of expedition 33?

>>739603171the story and the characters crumble into pieces after the end of act 2, ruining any immersion you may have.basically anything that isn't gameplay, look and music is shit.nitpick: female characters models are also extremely mid, which I guess mogs the plethora of other games that are just filled with uggos
>>739592513Because then /v/ might have to admit that their tastes are not their own and they are just as susceptible to advertising and propaganda and the average man.
>>739601473>That's the problem with you non-whites.>still trying to claim E33 fans are non-WhiteYou should give up already. I'd have a lot more respect for you if you at least admitted what you are.>You can't really think that far ahead into the future.I can. That's exactly why I said their stock price would fall to normal levels after the hype is over. Hype doesn't last long. They'd need to cash out while it's still high. They didn't, so either whoever planned that was completely retarded or that was never their plan.>When it's revealed that viewers accidentally clicking onto the link to the new show because it's at the top of the app/page when you open it counts as a view, shareholders don't do shit. Counting accidental clicks as a view because it's the simplest way to count views is different from deliberately throwing away millions to buy copies to lie and claim that the game was succesful.>Games from established IPs insist upon themselves.What about new IPs? Why didn't Sony buy a shilling campaign for Concord to turn it from a laughing stock into a massive success? They already spent 400 million on it so it would be cheap in comparison.>>739601667>Notice how COD, Halo, FIFA, NBA 2K, and Madden never get shilled here?That's because those are shit games for turbonormalcattle no one on this site cares about. E33 is a great game that appeals to people on this site.
>>739603873>Tendies seathing
I played more games and wasted more hours than most people here and E33 is one of the best games i ever played.The only people who hate it are>COntrariansAka the scum of the earth>Buttblasted weebs They hate the game ebcause they dont understand how anybody can play a turn-based game without 1-Dimensional anime cutouts like "Shy Girl from rich family"W and "CRUAHZY GUY WITH CRUAHZY HAIR"
>>739583812OH NO NO NO NO, TRANNYPHOR SISTERS??
>>739584029>6K playersWhy did Silksong flooped and booped?
>>739604687Why would you play a game where you can't rocket jump? Sounds gay to me.
>>739582197Imagine if they had the courage of their convictions and we could be 5 or 6 games deep on a refined FFXII system
>>739584029>Silkslop lost almost all it's players in the first month>E33 has more players than launch day after one monthReally makes you think.
>half a year later>e33 tradition of daily shittiing on every other game continues.
>>739604687>1-Dimensional anime cutouts like "Shy Girl from rich family"W and "CRUAHZY GUY WITH CRUAHZY HAIR"So true. Absolutely none of that in slop33.
>>739603171the game's story is so reliant on the twist, to the point of act 1 and act 2 being too hollow story wise. You're hitting damage cap halfway into act 2 where you're forced to go through the monolith which is just a lazy reuse of assets, but enemies have inflated hp bars, so ur just going through easy enemies, while tickling them to death, making fights into boring qtes. I liked the game in act 3, when you can finally fly/go underwater and unlock the 4-5 locations in the open world that are worth visiting
>>739604638Obsessed
>>739605803but the game is too unbalanced in act 3, to the point of me oneshotting clea, by the time I got to her.
>>739605803all the locations are giga linear, quite boring to go through/explore, most locations in the open world are one dimensional, there are some nice ones like the one with lady of sap and another one, but most are a small room with a boring nevron/bossfight/music piece
>>739582457>FRPGNow that's good, have some pride like this frog instead of masquerading it as a JRPG
>>739603873Having a fucking Xenoblade 2 avatar should legally bar you from being able to criticize anything, because you clearly have negative standards.
>>739604769They need the boss rush mode to filter more people. That's where I spent about half my time in the original Hollow Knight. As it is, it's actually not as hard as people were bitching about and most people have 100%ed it by this point.>>739582467I refuse to believe Japanese people didn't like it. Regardless, Square flew the E33 dev team over to discuss gamedev with their creative departments. OP is 100% right and it is fascinating how much coping I'm seeing itt>>739585651The Japanese audience has severely different standards for tropes than the western audience and are way more batshit insane about shit being done to those standards. They love their cliches and consider small twists on them an homage. Same with their character archetypes. "Life is hard" so bittersweet endings are no longer popular in Japanese media. I remember Matsuno was a guest director for some content in FFXIV and the player was going to be given a choice about which character to save but it was ultimately decided it was going to be "too stressful for the audience". I love my weebshit to death, but you're right.>>739586698It sucks that I have a woman's taste in vidya and can't get a gamer gf. The ones I've met that like the games you're talking about also seethe about non-linearity and get overwhelmed by open world shit. This is one way we differ, I simply don't mind linear stuff and don't mind open world. I could go either way. Obviously this creates a conflict because one of the greatest critiques of a lot of these games is the dreaded "hallway simulator" term.
>>739582197Those perfect scores scream bait.
>>739596250Lmao they're looking at their own TCG like what the fuck guys!?
>>739594396Hey,that's not fair at all ! Back in 2009 people were still playing Wrath of the Lich King and going outside
why is gcj even mad about this game

Idk how you guys went for a romance with Sciel, after seeing her dead husband and child it just didn't feel right.
>>739609425They died over 6 years before, that was fine. Going for her after she expressed full belief in bringing him back but still wanting a fuck because "our bond was special" was a nono for me.
>>739593897>Didn't show up to any of the big gaming showcasesTHIS is your fucking metric for if people were talking about it? There were countless YouTube videos and streamers shilling for this game before it came out, and - funny enough - it's all the same shit people are saying today. The narrative didn't change at all after release. Everyone was fucking talking about the game. I don't know what shills like you hope to gain by this retarded gaslighting, pretending like the game basically shadow-dropped, but it absolutely didn't. There was a massive push by streamers and youtubers, simultaneously, before anyone actually played the game.
>>739603873>"I wrote up a piece on Backloggd"Awwww, xhe thinks xhe's a journalist!
>>739609725There wasn't, screaming about gaslighting while trying to do it yourself doesn't work.
>>739608102How? "Shy Girl from rich family" is literally maelle and verso is literally just "CRUAHZY GUY WITH CRUAHZY HAIR"
Just admit that you're jealous of your superiors. There will never be a black or brown Sakurai or Yoko Taro.
>>739608894Brown as dirt.
>>739610103There's enough to tell about Verso from the world to tell the story, with how real Verso felt love for both his family and creations, being the sunlight of his family. Creations like Lumiere, his drafts. The way Renoir portrayed Verso to give us more information in regards to his relationship with art, how he creates it more for the audience to enjoy, rather than the process of it, opposed to Renoir, not to mention the parallels with painted Verso that was I assume very akin to the real version due to him getting a "gift" from his mother, assume that he was able to enter the painter's dimension due to possessing part of Verso's soul within him. The thing is that what makes the portrait of the character more compelling is that we see glimpses of him as a child from his whimsical creations, glimpses of him as an adult with how Renoir portrayed him and glimpses of him as an elder in painted Verso. Maelle on the other hand is a bit more boring and simple, since she is just playing the role of a young person that has to grow and accept the pain and etc. you get it.
>>739611246The story isn't a masterpiece whatsoever, but there's enough to find some worth in it.
>>739611246And is any of this mentioned in the game or is it just headcanon?
>>739611578Yes, through journals and bossfights
being turn based isn't FF's problem. It's probably gonna sell worst if it was turn based.
>>739611578well, Renoir made the 4 Axons each portraying each family member. Verso says after the bossfight with mask keeper something alongside the lines of "so that's Renoir's Verso" The Sirene is how Renoir portrayed Aline, you cna see Sirene after the bossfight with Renoir in the finale right as Aline herself intercepts him in a cutscene. Axon representing Alicia? painted Alicia herself said that this Axon shows how Father wanted her to actualize herself, reaching a certain peak that is as Renoir repeated he thinks is unreachable and for him the process is the most important part. The 4th axon is the one that died in lumiere some sort of person holding a building, that's supposedly Clea, since she's the only one left of the family members and Renoir near the ending said something along the lines of "she fight her war"(in the real world) We always see a shard of Verso as a kid, well, that's because he painted the painting as a KID! and we can see figures such as paintress/renoir/curator standing near a kid playing piano! and who was THE ONLY ONE PLAYING PIANO IN THIS GAME? VERSO! I'm a retard for replying to bait, but I just wanted to verbalize my thoughts about the game, I suppose.
>>739611836> we can see figures such as paintress/renoir/curator standing near a kid playing piano!while playing a dogshit dungeon called the monolith.
>>739602429Also it was competently written and directed. You could make a movie out of the game and it wouldn't feel out of place. FF16 was really for that first hour then the writing drops off a cliff and just turns into your generic JRPG we fight god instead of a political war story like Game of Thrones.
