>>740931273HOLY BASEDFINAL FANTASY IS DEAD
>>740931273OP really be like >yo here is my daily article about square enix and final fantasy>did you guys know fortnite is actually more popular than halobro rock living under a rock
What is it with Japan and Dragon Quest?
>>740931509Comfort Food The series essentially.
Final Fantasy killed itself a long time ago, anon.
>>740931273You already have multiple threads on this OP
>>740931273>Final Fantasy killed Final FantasyThere, FTFY. SquareEnix did everything themselves by making stinker after stinker post-merger. And a good FFXVII could, still, easily revert it, they just won't make one because Squareniggers hate turn-BASED and love Nomura a bit too much.
Just make a full budget AAA turn based FF alreadyyou know the fossilized retards on top are STILL hedging their bets by half assing it with the Brave Exvius HD2D adaptation
>>740931273Holy white
>God Eater remember

>>740931273It's almost like the fags at square need to see the writing on the wall and make then next mainline Final Fantasy game turn based.
>>740931273Atlusfags really stopped hiding after years hiding only for them to never reach FF when it was at its peak

Polling famitsu readers is like polling reset eraThe answers you would get aren't representative of what paying customers actually want
>>740931273and nothing of value was lost
>>740933129>mmoslop

>>740931776Turn based is outdated
>>740935051Only browns think this.
>>740931273dont look guys
>>740933649>Most influential seriesIs Final Fantasy really? Most slop fantasy/isekai that came out in the past decade was Dragon Quest influenced. Can you point at any lasting influence FF has?
>>740931273Funny how E33 mogs all of them
>>740932341People really underestimate how valuable it is to have a consistent thematic experience. Final Fantasy is a clusterfuck even if you play games that released in the same generation as each other. That can still work but you have to surprise people. It's a much taller task especially now that they can't wow people with a visual spectacle to the same extent as they could back in the PS1/PS2 days. Now they are doing this by remaking a PS1 games with a bunch of new shit thrown in, but that doesn't work for new mainline entries.All Dragon Quest has to do is be Dragon Quest and not look like total shit.
>>740935326Anon, JRPGs exist on the world stage because of Final Fantasy's influence. FF7 was the game that flipped the script in the mainstream
>>740933772What.Statistically Japan has a great reflection on the west. A vast majority of the time their predictions directly reflect sales world wide.
>>740931273Favorite companies1. Nintendo2. Square Enix3. Capcom4. Atlus5. FromSoftware
>>740935835this, famitus threads often directly reflect sales
>>740931509The Japanese are famous for their excellent taste
>>740935996Uh huh
>>740931452G A P E D
>>740934842in fairness it failed because it sucked
>>740931509The more dragon quests i play the more i realize they're just good games, japan got it right
>>740931273honorary
>>740936276Not as bad as Shitbirth.
>>740935289>lasted 1 day
>>740931273>14. Mega Man Legends
>>740931273>>740931452>make nothing but shit games for 25+ continuous years>be surprised when other franchises with actual good games surpass youThe downfall of FF is such a disgrace. Everyone involved at SE should be executed
>>740935992Japan doesn't matter economically.
>>740937461reflectively they do
>>740935896The idea of a favorite company even being a thing is baffling beyond words>having a favorite company>when every company looks at you as nothing more than an atm machine>when every company cares only about the money and not the customer>when every company will chase trends instead of what people want>when every company actively attempts to screw over buyers and only backs down when caughtThey’re not your friends. They don’t want to please you, they want to fleece you
>>740931273It’s their fault for taking forever and making shit games. Zoomers love Persona and KH can confirm
>>740931273Dont worry, another franchise will kill Persona eventually, in fact it might be even happening now with Clair obscure. It's a generation thing.It might even happen with persona 6 "damn...almost 12 years for another high school simulator slop? i kinda expected more..."
>>740931273>Cater to westerns>Be surprised Japanese don't want to play your gamesWhat did they expect.
>>740931273>BOF and Legends on the list Nice
>>740931273At least Final Fantasy still has an influence in the JRPG space. Imagine being SMT and the only thing people know you for is being eclipsed by your vastly superior younger brother. If I was an SMT nigger, I would hang myself.
Why cant persona influence anything? is it that much of a bad concept?
>>740935561>FF7 was the game that flipped the script in the mainstreamThey ran one ad campaign
>>740931273I'm not even upset. I would buy p6 if it was $600
>>740941937They are just wrong
>>740941169>imagine enjoying a franchise that hasn't been infested by youtube video watchers and posersyeah its nice.
>>740941937No one else's bold enough to let you bang teens
>>740942448I played the games. I don't care if others didn't if persona 5 sold 10 million.
>>740931273>Final Fantasy below Kingdom Hearts, Chrono Trigger, Nier and Dragon Quest.Squinex sisters.. Don't look
>>740933531persona 1 does need a remake thoughbeit
>>740941937>3 fucking dragon quest games>7 FUCKING FINAL FANTASIEStheyre retarded
>>740931273I'm not a big fan of even the good Final Fantasy games, but to be fair to Final Fantasy in general, I think this speaks more to how bad the likes of XV and XVI are than it does about how people feel about anything FF related at all. I think if they announced a FF9 remake or whatever, people would be happy about it, but XVI was so bad it's hard to have faith in a wholly new FF. I do think that puts it in a worse state than something like Persona, where there's excitement for both new things related to the games people already love and for the future of the series, but I think in Final Fantasy's case there isn't any love lost for its classic entries, there's just no confidence in a FFXVII being good either.
>>740942448SMT absolutely is infested with posers.
>>740931273the p6 protag is hot. I hope he is drawn both with and alongside the girls in the fanart
>>740931273Final Fantasy 7 fatigue killed Final Fantasy.
>>740941937Because I know only a single Persona-clone and the only two out of the norm things, that can't be traced to SMT and which could've influenced the industry, were the Social Links and P5's style. I'm also glad they didn't. Persona is grounded in very traditional and established elsewhere JRPG conventions and embraces that wholeheartedly. It doesn't do extra to rock the boat.
>>740933405Surprised of FF8 above 9.Wasn't 9 supposed to be the darling of internet FF fans?
>>740931273>Suikoden>Sengoku Basara>Summon NightWhat a weird listit's like they just took random series names and threw it on a board
