Was it actually the very first time in history of series, when Square actually got mad at director for game underperforming, enough to demote him.Keep in mind, that Square is still a japanese company and demotions are almost unheard of
>>744530721They could try making it an actual fantasy game instead of weirdly boring realistic shit
>>744530920They don't want to contract Sakaguchi
>>744530920>weirdly boring realistic shitIt wasn't at all though. In fact it probably would have been better off if it was instead of just falling back on the same tired old actually the villain is basically the demiurge like a lot of jrpgs can't resist doing and dropping all the political players partway through.
>>744530972His recent games are fucking shit anywayStarting to think Faggot Trantasy was never good
>>744531096Japanese can't write politics well, it's always same shit.Consider the following, people unironically think that tactics had decent writing
Trash game will forever stay trash
>>744530721I'd be pissed too if the dude heading the mainline FF game and the MMO funding all this shit decided both should bomb at the exact same time.
>>744531494Trash game for a trash franchise
>>744531096the visuals are weirdly boring realistic shitthey all look the fucking same
>>744530721> nusquare blames director.> old creator and father of final fantasy : ffx sales were really bad, our american made movie was bad so i will retire and never cone back.The difference is brutal.
>>744530920Nomura made irreparable damage to the franchise.It's joeover.
>>744531096This game wouldve been peak if it was just Clives mom as the villian all the way through.Her being evil as shit and manipulating politics wouldve made it way more interesting
FF16 was the B-team, the top team has been making the 7 remake trilogy for the last decade.
>>744535075Exactly. This game went out of its way to just dump all its major players as fast as possible.
>>744535192>making the 7 remake trilogySpecifically the cinematics and the towns for 7R trilogy. The open world stuff was outsourced to rando support studios
>>744530721I finally played this recently and let me tell you that while i´m not a fan of how it basically ditched all the RPG elements in favor for action and decided to go with stylized realism as an art style it´s still better than FF XV and VIIR, which technically makes it the best FF in at least a decade and a half. Art design was pretty decent, not quite FF Tactics but clearly inspired by it. Setting and story were not all that bad either but the stylized realism kind of prevented it from reaching it´s potential. The franchise clearly needs to pivot a little bit more towards the freedom anime style brings. Gran Blue fantasy looks more like FF than FF now which may be because they actually have the FF art director. I also kind of enjoyed how characters entered and left the party for plot related reasons and how instead of an open world they went back to large areas. I would still have liked overworld more than just a map but babysteps i guess. As for combat, combat was not terrible for an action game. I still would have preferred a proper party, classes and whatnot for a more RPG tactical approach though. I feel they should probably go back to XII and exploring how to mix real time with ATB unless they plan to just go back to ATB. Clearly there is still market for turn based games.
And Square also ditched having an intelligent CEO.
>>744531494Why do you post this in every FF XVI thread?
>>744535258Not really. The game goes through villains in sequential order, so villains get explored and die on the same arc, so to speak. Clive's mother doesn't follow this though, because she's not a major villain, just a bitch.
>>744530721The problem with 16 is that the combat system was boring as fuck
>>744537030You would have to be fucking retarded to think this linear offline mmo is better than the 7 remakes
