FFXVI is super gay.
Some people really need to figure out that you can dislike stuff without making it part of your personality. You don't have to go out of your way to remind everyone every time it comes up, and argue with anyone who does like it.

Gay is okay as long as VII is on the box
>>557455610Gay is okay as long as the gay guy transforms into a dragon.
>>557455610I think this.
XVI turned a lot of people gay.
>>557456117Just you Dreamboum
DUDE REBIRTH
>>557456117Turned me gay for Jill.
>>557455610>>557455798True and based
>>557451571More people need to read this
>>557455798To be fair, that is pretty cool.If it was Rebirth's writers, Terrence would have joined the group as well and we'd all have had a dance-off and card tournament at the hideaway
>>557457609At least XVI would have been interesting
>>557458584And fun. XVI is a no fun allowed game, unfortunately.
>>557447964>Just because you think about nothing other than pointless meta /ffg/ shitpost lore doesnt mean anyone else should careWho said anything about "caring"?The discrepancy of this general makes no sense majority the time. You all seem to be autistically butt blasted by certain bad actors here on a daily basis, yet none of you are unified in wanting any of them gone that I've chalked it up to being all ironic shitposting and the tranny jannies who lurk/post here are all in on it too.It's like all you maladjusted nerds want is to sit comfortably between being Kiwifarms - weening each other for kicks regardless of sides yet none of you have the confidence and wit to handle the bants - and the convenience of 4chan - user anonymity and by proxy samefagging for easier shitposting, lack of moderation, using /vg/ for hobbies and a base of operations of sorts.You pick and choose who to wine and dine on for that particular day whist virtue signaling your dog whistles to each other then simultaneously drop the act until you've had your fill going straight back to talking about vidya. You're all just a bunch of bastards really.Here's to when 4chan inevitably shuts down that you all don't kill yourselves having nowhere else to go when no other site will accept your genuinely awful existence.
FFIV anon have you fought Greyon? Or was it Geryon? that second ultimate boss at mt.hobbs? ordeals? it was an amalgamation of the four fiends.
>>557458826off-topic melty
>>557403929>I disagree. I played WoW back in true Vanilla, and I remember farming elemental resistance sets and that was complete fucking bullshitFunny, I watched a lot of videos explaining how to tackle dungeons in WoW and these elemental resistance potions and wards are the only reason I'd ever try WoW.Otherwise, you raise a very good point, and I understand that for gameplay's sake, it needs to be this way, but sometimes... Sometimes I wish XIV was a little more like Monster Hunter where you have to prepare before an expedition and prepare potions and resistances in advance.
So, I'm finally starting FFXV after downloading all night.Starting with Stand By Me is pretty inspired. Southern tomboy Cindy is very powerful.Combat seems kind of iffy. Also, this game doesn't run very well on PC. Looks weird.
>>557459373Play FFXI.
One true love and tender kissu! Canon and cute couple!
>>557459373Play Final Fantasy XI
>>557459373Play FFXII
>>557459551>Also, this game doesn't run very well on PC. Looks weird.Runs perfectly on my PC.
>>557461210I putzed around with the settings and now it's much better.
>>557459892>>557460252I just might, you know...
Did anyone here do anything?
What’s your ranking of the FF games? (mainline)
I make Tifa fetish stuff.
>>557465853V at the topXVI at the bottom
>>557459373>Funny, I watched a lot of videos explaining how to tackle dungeons in WoW and these elemental resistance potions and wards are the only reason I'd ever try WoW.I thought it was the most annoying part of the game, worrying about resistances and weaknesses. I think that works for a single player RPG, but I don't really like that for an MMO. The players don't like it either. For example, the top tier strat (which not all guilds are capable of) for killing Sapphiron is to just murder him in 30 seconds by using a buff leftover from the previous fight and just beelining to him with the buff still active and killing him before he is really able to do anything Frost-related, so you don't need Frost resist gear. And since XI was recommended - I definitely think it's worth a playthrough of the expansions if you can stomach it, but it is not for everyone. And I still think elemental shit is annoying in that game. At one point in the "MSQ", the thing you need to fight is much, much, much higher level than you are. Trusts are so OP that I even think I could kill it at the level that I arrived to it at, but Shantotto II kept casting Wind spells on it, which healed it, so I could never really do any damage to it. I had to come back later to be able to kill it (which was till 15 levels lower than it is). Not the biggest deal, but just another instance of elemental shit being annoying in MMOs. There is also the elemental wheel in Eureka in XIV, but that's not really anything to write home about, and you can set it so that it automatically rotates for you to be offensive/defensive.
It's happening. We are going home, bros.
>>557459373>>557466338Thinking about this more, I think the reason I'm okay with elemental shit in single player games but not MMOs is because in a single player game, you always have the answer. Your mages know Ice Fire and Lightning. All you do is select different colored VFX from a text menu, it doesn't actually matter what you're casting, you have the answer regardless, you just need to know what it's weak to. And if you're fighting fire stuff, the game gave you fire resist gear that might even heal you when you get hit by fire. It's not big deal. In MMOs, if there's elemental stuff, you have to go out of your way to farm or buy resist gear (which lowers your normal stats) and you might have to respec to something you don't want to play just to be able to damage the thing. It's a lot less friendly. I don't mind elemental shit in games like PSO or Monster Hunter, because again you always have the answer; PSO you can use all the spells (which are kinda bad in multiplayer on Ultimate anyway) and in Monster Hunter you can switch to a different weapon that still acts exactly the same as all the other weapons of the same type.
>>557466338>I think that works for a single player RPG, but I don't really like that for an MMO.That is fair. I mean, I got bullied in previous MMOs that I played for "trolling", aka playing suboptimally because I went in dungeons blind. You cannot afford to figure shit up as you progress in MMOs, it has to be quick and snappy.>>557467612Yeah. I think that's why I like FFVII so much, the materia system makes it easy and very rewarding to be prepared to an enemy, even if it suffers a bit from die and retry.
Reminder Final Fantasy XVI, XIV, and IV are ffg's official top three Final Fantasy games.If you see any hate for these games it is from a shitposter or a tourist.
>>557465730I wish I could eat Tifa's delicious homemade baked goods and meals.
My wife Eiko is cute!
>>557468436Bot post by Yoshi-bot
>>557468298Of "MMO" type games, I think PSO has my favorite elemental weakness thing. Usually, elemental weakness doesn't mean anything except that you're throwing different colored VFX at stuff. In PSO, the different elemental spells act differently, so you're doing slightly more than just throwing different colored VFX at the target, since the spells move in different ways.
>>557468656I wish I could fuck Tifa's ass while Marlene is listening from her own room.
>>557469037I liked Skyrim's approach to this, where every element had a different side effect, with ice draining stamine, thunder draining magicka, and fire dealing more damage, but like most things in Skyrim, this was half-baked and didn't really take armor in consideration.Tainted Grail has a similar system where every element has a different effect if you manage to stack them.
>>557463152You definitely should play it. It's FFXIV, but good.
>>557468436Based, true, and irrefutable. The poll creator himself said that he'd accept the results no matter what, so we should follow his example. He thought his enemies are the ones who would question the results.
>>557469242FFXIV is already good and has the best magical system I saw in a game. The only game I know where you can cast magic to recover MP.
>>557469242It's not exactly a big achievement
>>557469207Ultimately, I categorize "additional effects" into the same category as just throwing different VFX at things. It doesn't really *do* anything different. In PSO, the spells actually do different things. Gifoie throws fireballs that spiral outward from your character, which can be useful for briefly stunning mobs as the spawn even if they aren't weak to fire. Gizonde, in comparison, is a chain lightning effect that chains and hits multiple things in a line/cone in front of you. Gibarta is shorter range ice "cone" that can freeze things that it hits. These are all the "Fira" or "Fire II" equivalents, and they all act completely differently.
XII is XI, but actually playable. They should really remaster XI into XII's engine as a single player game and give Gambits to the Trusts. That'd be a much more enjoyable experience than XI actually is.
>>557468872THE BESTEST
>>557469404To be fair, a lot of games have spells like Final Fantasy's "Osmose" that give you MP back while still casting a spell, but I'm not aware of anything that works like BLM.
It's a sad truth: Final Fantasy just isn't as popular anymore.Kids want games now. You can't tell them, "Here's one title at age 7, now wait for the sequel at 14." By then, their childhood is practically over. And yeah, this is exactly why Pokemon stays relevant: near yearly releases.https://automaton-media.com/en/news/young-gamers-in-japan-may-not-be-forming-the-same-attachment-to-final-fantasy-or-dragon-quest-because-modern-dev-cycles-are-as-long-as-their-childhood-users-theorize/
>>557471601Anecdotally, I only played Blue and Gold, then I didn't play Pokemon again until I got bored during covid. Meanwhile, I've played every FF game. I do agree that there are too many years between FF games though. I also think there are too many trilogies in nuFF. We have lost 20 years to Lightning and Cloud.
>>557471601>The most profitable IP in history is popularDamn...
Final Fantasy needs a game like Mina The Hollower.
>>557471918This hypothetical doesn't line up with reality because it was never going to sell that much regardless if it were a faithful remake. If it did? I could only see spin-offs connecting to the Compilation and nothing else. Not a FF7R-2, but that's beside the point.So many other game's have come out since 5th gen that are supposed masterpieces to preoccupy everyone's tastes to choose from that the whole world wouldn't have cared about a remake to the supposed "best JRPG ever" in the ocean of RPGs, like some people claimed when the initial 3.5mil to then 5mil sales was a "flop" and really should've sold a bazillion copies like the OG, which is just stupid.You also had turn-based purists and jaded SE fanboys boycotting it because of the combat and action games are already a niche genre as is. 7fags really love to overestimate their game's legacy when it's all about CoD, Dark Souls and Persona being the new trend setters for the past decade, but that's not to say 7 DIDN'T have a cultural impact, just that it's time came and went. People still care about the Beatles, but are they as popular as say, idfk, Aryana Grande or Kanye or any other modern band by today's standards? Fuck no.
>>557477813I started reading your post, but then you started talking about how much the Remake didn't sell and then you were bitching about "purists" again and that's when I finally stopped reading.
>>557477813Thank you, I really needed that.
>>557477813Ariana Grande is the best and most iconic Final Fantasy heroine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcYodQoapMg
>>557475693Elliott is looking pretty good
>>557478224She's definitely better than the whole cast of FFXVI, no doubt.
>>557477813Also wanted to add sales for the Compilation were already dwindling since CC, then Dirge flopping so bad it ended the whole thing, so people were already sick of SE's anthology nonsense with 7.
>>557470223>valentine's day is over>you'll never get Eiko's Milk (or dark) chocolate.
>>557478224>>557471601To tie Ariana Grande (the best and most iconic Final Fantasy heroine) into this conversation, she has a tattoo of Eevee. She represents both Pokemon and Final Fantasy. >>557478417She's the best and most iconic Final Fantasy heroine, better than all other Final Fantasy heroes and heroines. This includes Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Yuffie, Sephiroth, Lightning, Noctis, Clive, etc. She's better and more iconic than all of them.
>>557472109You have to be 18 to post here.
>>557478628Even if I was somehow 0 years old when Pokemon Blue came out, I'd still be 28.
>>557478025It sold just fine. It was never going to sell gangbuster and beyond on release. There were and still are people bitching that it's not turn-based as there's a lot of fans who hate hack n' slash gameplay.
imagine if the four fiends had human forms
square enix should make a fighting game with every square-enix character to date.
So far, I like the trappings of FFXV. Particularly as I am from the American southwest and love road trips, but the game itself feels a bit mishmash a few hours in.Curious what others think of it, but I will continue to push onwards.
>>557491192What you're seeing is the result of a clash in directorial vision for the game. One that completely contradicts what the original theme was. They're completely different, even if the core concept is the same. There's a good reason why some people still mourn for Versus XIII.
Aerisu!
>>557469807I see. Well, I played a ranged robot character, so I never saw any of these.>>557471130Really? The closest one I can remember is Nightreign, and it's more about assimilating elemental remnants than really casting spells.
Honestly I'm a little pissed off XVI won in the end.
>>557502296You said you'd accept the poll's result, so stop your fatherless whinging already. You're only embarrassing yourself by still seething over it.
>>557502296at least this means XVI will get a boost in sales.

>>557508101...hah, it's Dissidia. I though it was a modded Tekken or something.Sorry but I have no idea what anything is. But I am very amused and quite impressed.
Where do I go after helping snow at sunleth waterscape
>>557508101I find it hilarious that, being from FFXI, Prishe uses the same Skillchain that they have in there. Are all the characters following the mechanisms from their games? Shame Vivi isn't in, I'd love to see him spend the entire match buffing himself.
>>557509302All the characters have tons of references to their original title/playstyle, adapted to the fighting context.For example, Lightning has the Paradigms (Commando, Ravager, Medic) that change her attacks.While Yuna's attacks are done by her summons. And so on.
>>557509597That's pretty neat. This is one of the old Dissidia, right? I'm vaguely aware the Dissidia serie went to shit as it progressed.
>>557509838012, yeah. NT was the new one that went full retarded.>grab a game which entire identity is being a fun 1vs1 >turn it into some weird arcade-wannabe 3vs3>surprised when no one likes it
>>557509302>Are all the characters following the mechanisms from their games? Not him, but all ~180 characters in DFFOO followed the mechanics from their games and had faithful skillsets and animations. I remember Prishe does the Fragmentation skillchain animation after her LD call, Auroral Uppercut, which is one of its actual properties in FFXI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s8DTinL9w0The people at Team Ninja who worked on OO really liked and respected Final Fantasy.

About to play FF7 remake now that third game in the "triology" is coming up.Any recommended mods to improve the experience? Nexus top files is just the usual degenerate stuff.I probably won't 100% the game if it matters.
Playing both Remake on Switch and trying out RE9 is interesting since it shows the cost of 60fps in some casesRemake on Switch actually uses the same style of hair that RE9 uses in the PC version but it’s cut on Switch for performance.
>>557478032Why do you spam this in /xivg/?

Honestly I'm a little pissed off XVI lost in the end.
>>557522223It's not even complicated. Someone said it to him once, years ago, and it pissed him off and he never let go of that anger. Now the sight of those words will always hurt and cause him to bust out the dossier and magnifying glass. As you can see he can't even tell you what the issue is. He won't. Because he knows it's schizo and pathetic. He'll just "call out" anyone who sets him off but without an actual accusation. Like calling the police just to prove you can even though there's no crime to report.
Those who win will lose...

>killer inn is a gigaflop for square enixLooks like Yoshida is gonna have to spend another five years in the XIV mines to make up for the wasted money.
>>557543008I wonder why Square Enix thought that making an Among Us clone seven (7!!) years after it released was a good idea.
>>557543008>>557543172Whatchu talking about?
>>557543705Killer Inn. He already said it. It's basically an Amogus clone.
>>557543792What's Killer Inn? When did it come out? What consoles? Is it Final Fantasy? If no, why bring it up? Is he stupid?
>>557545074>What's Killer Inn? When did it come out? What consoles?Already answered. >If no, why bring it up? Is he stupid?This thread is barely ever about video games, it's almost entirely about schizophrenic namefag bogeyman posting, so I generally welcome discussion of video games, especially SE games. He is right though; Square Enix probably squandered XIV funds to make this Among Us clone several years after the covid hype for it already died. They should really just put the money back into XIV, because now that Dawntrail and Wuk Lamat have left their mark on XIV, it definitely needs as much attention as it can get, and the least SE could do is put the money it earns back into it, but they don't. They use the money to make retarded flops like Foamstars (Splatoon clone) and Killer Inn (Among Us clone) instead.

I’m a new fan. I’m playing FF6. Do the random encounters get less annoying? Maybe im a pleb who just isn’t used to turn based combat but I don’t enjoy constantly fighting wild enemies
>>557565587>Do the random encounters get less annoyinghah. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- no
>>557565807Damn it, I’m really engaged with the story but the random encounters are hurting my enjoyment. I’m playing it OG game, no emulation patches.
>>557566027Anon, I'm sorry, but I believe that except for XV and XIV, ALL the FF feature a lot of random encounters.Yes, even the MMOs do. EVEN TACTIC DOES.

When it originally launched, players we worried about it being predatory and offering power for money, so they walked back a lot of the monetization, and now I'm pretty sure it's pretty much entirely cosmetic, but also they had a bot problem so you can't trade unless you spend $5 either. The issue is that there's nothing to spend money on, and it's not a gacha, so it doesn't get constant content updates to keep players interested, and it's f2p so there's no subscription. There was also a glitch/bug where when people were bidding on houses, they were not receiving their gil back when they didn't win. So that's why "uh oh". It's a f2p game that isn't currently continually releasing content like gachas are so people "finish" the content and then quit, and the monetization isn't predatory (after backlash that players were worried it would be) so there's nothing to buy except cosmetics.
>>557589890TLDR:>game dev said in interview the game is running in the red daily>production budget is minuscule>last update was months ago>they took away streaming equipment for the game devs>mr. brappy says he doesnt think the game will even launch outside of china
>>557591431Thank you for shutting down the Yoshida criticism. I feel so much safer knowing FFXIV Mobile is monetized like a gacha game but can still be played F2P.
>>557592242There wasn't a criticism of Yoshida though. The Chinese XIV mobile game has nothing to do with Yoshida or SE, as I already explained. It's also not at all monetized like a gacha game. It's monetized like an old school f2p MMO where you can buy cosmetics and things like the aether currents (you have no idea what these are) to save some time. There is no gacha in it, and part of the issue is that there is no reason to spend money on it. Every single thing you said is wrong.
>>557592598I really needed that. Thank you so much.
>>557592967Yup, anytime. Always happy to correct untruths.
>>557593083I feel better knowing Yoshida won't face any criticism in the future since he has nothing to do with FFXIV Mobile.
>>557545897You asked the impossible. Three? He didn't even have one.>>557589890I have no horse in this race because I don't care about mobile games or mmos, so this is a double no for me, but I will say youtube videos like these have become meaningless to me as "its not looking good for [game]" videos have become the most common, laziest clickbait out there and they exist for every game.A game could sell 15 million copies and we'd still get a slew of "uh oh" videos.

>>557610327>no uShe said the thing!!!!
—The FFVII Remake series has so far centered on high-end platforms like PS5 and PC, but now you’re making a move to include comparatively lower-spec platforms like Xbox Series S and Nintendo Switch 2. While this is certainly welcome news, some fans online have voiced concern that this could lead to the third installment compromising on graphics to match lower-spec systems. Has the shift to multiplatform development had any such impact on you? Naoki Hamaguchi (hereafter Hamaguchi): Both the Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox versions have been incredibly well received and generated a lot of buzz online, and that attention has also made me realize how many people are worried about this issue. However, our decision to go multiplatform with the FFVII Remake series will not in any way lower the quality of the third installment. Our development structure simply doesn’t work that way to begin with. …I suppose I’ll just have to keep saying it (laughs).
>>557610971Paulie can't help being herself.
—While it does feel reassuring to hear that from you considering your background as an engineer, I think it’s also a given that a developer wouldn’t say anything negative about their own work before release. It could just be interpreted as marketing talk. How would you address that? Hamaguchi: (Laughs) I understand why people might think that. Since I haven’t previously had the chance to explain in detail why there’s no need for concern, I’d like to take this opportunity to do so. I’ve heard that talk about this has been circulating ever since the Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S versions launched, so if I can help ease even a little of that anxiety, I’d be very glad. —Thank you. So, to return to the question, why can you say that adding platforms with performance gaps won’t result in a decline in graphical quality on high-end systems? Hamaguchi: When developing a game, there are four key points to consider across platforms. First is CPU, the computational side that governs character behavior and executes game logic. Second is the GPU, which handles graphics rendering and related tasks.
The third is RAM, or memory, which determines how much data can be loaded while the game is running. You often hear that the Xbox Series S is difficult to port to, and that’s largely because it has less memory compared to other platforms. If memory is insufficient, it can even cause the game to hang (as in freeze/stop responding). By contrast, the Nintendo Switch 2 has ample memory, which makes it relatively easy to develop for in that respect. Finally, there’s ROM, or storage media such as cartridges and discs. In the past, we often had to reduce data size to fit within physical media constraints. Broadly speaking, I believe these four elements are the key considerations in game development. —Understood. Hamaguchi: I’ll break them down one by one: Regarding ROM and overall game size, the Nintendo Switch 2 physical edition uses a game key-card through which data is downloaded. That means we don’t need to shrink data just to fit it on a cartridge or improve read speeds, so it’s highly unlikely to affect game sizes on other platforms. As for RAM, the Switch 2’s ample memory means there’s little concern there. The Xbox Series S does have its limits, but we already optimize for each platform individually to the absolute limit, so memory constraints on one platform don’t impose restrictions on others.
Now, about CPU – I feel like there’s been a shift over the past four or five years. Traditionally, 30fps was the basic standard for console RPGs. But with the arrival of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, we’ve entered an era where 60fps is expected on consoles as well. —That’s true, 60fps is considered a given nowadays. Hamaguchi: Our current approach to developing games is based on the idea that if a title runs at 30fps on platforms like PS4, Nintendo Switch 2, or Xbox Series S, it should be able to achieve 60fps on high-end platforms. In other words, we don’t design the game to fully saturate a high-end CPU at 30fps. Instead, on hardware that lends additional CPU headroom, we scale density elements, like increasing the number of NPCs in towns. As a result, towns feel more alive on higher-spec hardware, while lower-spec systems may display fewer NPCs. So even when factoring in Nintendo Switch 2 or Xbox Series S support, CPU-related bottlenecks are unlikely. Finally, the area most people are concerned about is GPU, the graphics processor. When a game launches across multiple platforms, many enjoy comparing the visual differences, like in those side-by-side comparison videos (laughs).

>>557612043Just tell me this: is it all good news?
>>557612789Depends on who's asking. Jimbo often said that he was concerned about the multiplatform aspect affecting the graphic fidelity of the game. Sadly it wont be the case, so he can't complain or ""be concerned"" about it anymore. He has to look for something else to shitpost with.
>>557612789Naturally.
>>557612873I asked for your opinion and you gave me schizo nonsense about what someone elses opinion of it might be. Very insecure behavior.>>557613012Thank you, I'm glad to hear it.
>>557613323>I asked for your opinionI think i answered that, it depends on who's asking.
>>557613370I'm asking. What's your take on the article? Good news? Or will you be telling me what you suspect various youtubers will be saying about it since your own thoughts must remain top secret.
>>557613472For a normal person, it is good news.
>>557613370So you have no opinion because you're scared of offending someone. What a baby you are.
>>557613520You are the most insecure person I have ever encountered.
>>557613608Why?
>>557613608Buuuut someone might get offended...
In another timeline, he might have just answered my question and i would have used my "of course it is good news, they always are, and if they are negative, we spin it into good news!" falseflag but he stopped me.
>>557612873>Jimbo often said that he was concerned about the multiplatform aspect affecting the graphic fidelitySeems like a fair concern. When did he say this?There is proof right and you're not just assuming every single post that expresses a thought that is in any way less than 100% positive is from the one guy? Please don't let that be the case.
What about a full Sci fi FF?
>>557613820Unfortunately you were too insecure to say "yes it is good news" do we'll never know for sure will we?
>>557613916This exchange will continue for 250 more posts but none of them will attempt to provide any evidence of the claim. Make of that what you will.
>>557613950XIII was already the closest we've come to a full sci-fi Final Fantasy.
>>557614081Why do you answer yourself?
>>557614314My good, let me rephrase.What about a GOOD full sci fi FF?
>>557614340If you really want a gotcha you could prove me wrong, but it looks like we're on course for me being proved right, thanks to your help.
>>557614340You struck a nerve, damn.
>>557614437Spirits Within?

>more [Good News] about VII Remake>VIIRgin in shambles, only capable of talking about what his enemy thinks and how this is devastating for him>can't provide his own opinion>can't provide proof that his enemy said what he allegesHow does this happen every single time? Anyway, my opinion is this: >"I think it’s also a given that a developer wouldn’t say anything negative about their own work before release. It could just be interpreted as marketing talk. How would you address that?"It is my opinion that, after Hamaguchi's last shill quest, they looked at discussion surrounding his misplays online and so this question that is directly asking him about being a shill was a softball that there were ordered to pitch to him. I believe the interview is not entirely genuine and, at the very least, this question was ordered to be asked by Square Enix. Possibly the whole "interview" is just more PR questions designed by SE themselves. I also think it's funny that he managed to sneak one of these in again:>"The FFVII Remake series has sold very well on platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store, so we develop assets with the broad PC market in mind."We have now shifted away from "Remake" and "Rebirth" and we are instead referring to it as the "FFVII Remake series". This was always going to be the case eventually, but this is evidence that "eventually" is "now" and that we are NEVER going to hear anything about Rebirth's sales, ever. >"That means our work can reach more people. Naturally, that leads to higher overall sales. With that additional revenue, we can forecast returns and reinvest them into development. [...] I’m genuinely happy when more people get to play the games we’ve made.">>>"—So in the long run, even players on high-end platforms benefit from ports."Brilliantly done. >"Development of the third installment is progressing very smoothly, and we’re almost exactly on schedule with the milestones we set at the beginning of the project."Almost?
So I can't play E33, it doesn't run on my PC.What's the closest FF to it?
>>557626035How can you not play E33? My PC is from 2018 and I could still play it.
>>557625956>we’re almost exactly on schedule with the milestones we set at the beginning of the projectIf they had told us from the beginning that they knew it would be three parts and it wouldn't be complete until 2027 they could have spared me a lot of embarrassment. I called anyone who thought it wouldn't be complete by 2025 a tortanicing doomer.
>>557626107Dunno, it just doesn't launch. But it's not the right thread, and I'm too tired to fix it now.
>>557627268Many such cases, unfortunately.
https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/289213397/#q289235591>>>"Part 2 is definitely for 2022">it was actually 2024Damn...
>>557628054They have the groundwork and many assets and systems complete, thats the bulk of the work done. Part 2 will be out very soon and part 3 will take even less time.
>>557628335It really do be like that.
There are some gems in early VIIR threads on /v/https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/477995334/#q477999727https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/477995334/#477999859And for those wondering, there actually are quite a few insinuations that anyone who says anything negative about VIIR being a "doomer" looking for their next "TORtanic fix"https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/496096483/#q496150339

>>557625956This was "no matter the news, i can always find something to keep bitching about" the post.
Surely you're not like this, right /ffg/? You finished all your games, right?
>>557629912No, it was my opinion of the interview itself. The person who posted the interview refused to provide their own opinion, instead providing their enemy's opinion while also refusing to provide proof that their enemy ever said the things alleged. So I provided my opinion. I believe that it was, at least partially, a disingenuous interview where Square Enix designed at least one of the questions and instructed the interviewer to ask it, in order to provide a practiced and favorable response. Now, on the subject matter of the interview, do I think that the games are getting ported? Of course I do. If the games are getting ported, there's really no reason to even talk about it more. People have already seen the screenshots. We know it's getting ported, we know certain platforms are more powerful than others, and we know that somehow they manage anyway. We already know all of that. The interview is pointless PR. I think it's a good thing that games are getting ported to other consoles, and I think it's a good thing that Final Fantasy games in the future will supposedly be multi-plat from day 1. All of these are good things. It's just that the interview was completely pointless. It was just another opportunity for Hamaguchi to continue shilling the game, talking about "sales" of previous games, softly addressing the concerns that Hamaguchi has been a little bit too much of a shill lately in his interviews, and informing us that Part 3 is slightly behind schedule.
>>557630489>The person who posted the interview refused to provide their own opinionIts an interview. Interviewers dont give their opinions directly.
>>557630605*ahem*The 4chan poster who posted this interview to 4chan refused to provide his personal opinion on the interview that he posted and instead chose to talk about how upset his enemy is, while refusing to provide proof that his enemy even thinks the things that were alleged. So far, the 4chan poster who posted the interview to 4chan has refused to provide his own opinion and has gotten upset when other people provided their opinion about the interview that he posted. So it seems like he posted an interview to 4chan that he believed was interesting enough to devote multiple posts to copy-pastes, but he doesn't want anyone to provide their opinion about it - not even himself. It's just a strange situation.
>>557630919>he 4chan poster who posted this interview to 4chan refused to provide his personal opinion on the interviewbut he said >>557612043
>>557629912Hey since you're still around >>557613916Any proof of that claim yet, or...?
I'm not going to say what I think about the interview but I will get mad at you if you say what you think about the interview.
>>557631021See? He wont post his opinion, despite thinking the interview important enough to dedicate multiple posts to. He wont tell us his opinion about what he posted, he doesn't want to know anyone's opinion about what he posted, he seems to have posted this interview solely to say "my bogeyman is very upset about this" without providing any evidence that this is the case, and now he is making sure no one talks about the interview. Why even post it then if no one is allowed to provide their opinion about it? Are we... are we supposed to all circle jerk you about how upset the interview you posted made your enemy? Is that what you wanted us to do with this?
>>557631352but he said "it was an interesting interview"
>>557630919I try to avoid sharing my opinion because my enemy might agree with it
>>557631021>>557631407He can speak for himself, can't he? He's right here >>557629912Unless it's true that he's so terrified to say what he thinks that he even pretends to be other anons while defending himself rather than speaking for himself?That would be a truly insecure thing to resort to.
>>557631465It does always seem to make him most angry when people actually agree with him.
>>557631646dude, why arent you reading the postit wasaninterestinginterview
>>557630605In normal medias anyway. In American medias, journalists always seem to judge the news they report about.
>>557631716I'll say. Everything said was good news.
>>557631716"Interesting", but I hope no one talks about it. I hope they instead choose to fixate on my enemy's proposed opinion of it, which I will not be providing evidence for. My opinion? Not important. Besides, I already provided my opinion. Now please stop talking about the interview that I-- I mean, that some other anon posted. I didn't post it, but please stop talking about it. He didn't want a conversation about the interview that he posted. Leave him alone.
>>557631831Needs spankings.
>>557631936Talk about it if you want but don't bitch about it, just be grateful
>>557631936I hope you treat that mental illness.
I suggest we adopt a new system which I am calling genkimode.If someone posts VIIR related updates, everyone respond with, and only with: Good news!
>>557632050I'm glad that Hamaguchi always tells me exactly what I want to hear and that it is always [Good News], solely because I know it makes my enemy upset and for no other reason than that, I just wish everyone else besides me would stop talking about it.
>>557632274You say your enemy OFTEN said these things, and they are clearly on your mind frequently. If anyone asked to see evidence that this happened at all, would you be able to provide it?
>>557632494>If anyone asked to see evidence that this happened at all, would you be able to provide it?The evidence speaks for itself. Do I need to provide evidence that the sky is blue?Now please, stop talking about it.
Damn he really didnt take >>557612873 well
>>557632673But anon, you brought it up. You bring it up often. And it seems the only thing that can convince you to stop talking about it is to ask for evidence of the very posts you're complaining about existing.I can only conclude that you are mentally unwell.
>>557632725Whoops I meant >>557612789Who would have thought such a simple question would cause an immediate mental collapse and schizoposting?
>>557632845Look, I don't know how else to tell you this. When I post things to this public forum, what I want to happen is I want to come in, drop the [Good News], talk about my enemy's opinion and how upset he is rather than providing my own opinion, and that's all I want to have happen. Only I'm allowed to talk about it.
>>557633415Well, that's your right. But I think you are suffering from insecurity and perhaps even paranoid schizophrenia.
>>557633571>>557633415>paranoid schizophrenia.ironic
>>557634073I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks >>557633415 is schizo behavior. Maybe if they had proof of the posts they claim are made often it would explain things, but that doesnt seem to be the case.
>>557634073I think about my enemy and his opinion more often than I consider my own thoughts, and there's nothing wrong with that. The most important thing is that all news about VIIR is [Good News] and that my enemy is growing increasingly angrier as more [Good News] comes out. Even if I can't prove it when asked, I know it's happening.
>>557631061I guess not
>>557612873>He has to look for something else to shitpost with.Does he though? You seem to make all of "his" shitposts for him on his behalf, and you can never provide proof that it came from somewhere outside yourself. Could it be that you are just secretly the most impressive VIIRgin false flag shitposter? Is this entire facade just a ruse to shitpost about VIIR and its fans with? If so, bravo, because you're doing an even better job than your "enemy"
>>557635068Thanks for defending him, we truly have proven without a doubt that jimbo doesnt exist, and in fact his "obsessor" is at fault, and that >>557634454>>557634410>>557633571>>557633415is actually two different, real posters.
>>557635191Yes.
>>557614081So far so good.
>>557635191Well his obsessor brought him up for no sane reason I can see so in this instance at least I would say yes, he is the one who is a problem.Unless you want to explain why you feel differently in a way that makes sense.
>>557614081>>557635306KEK
>>557635293what about the other one
>>557635441This will not happen
>>557635441No i dont feel any different, i agree with you.The obsessor ruins everything, samefagging here doesnt exist. Every post is real.
>>557635906It's very sweet that you refuse to believe more than one person couldn't possibly be laughing at your schizophrenia when you literally cannot explain your own actions because you know how mentally unwell you'd sound.
>>557635906>samefagging here doesnt existSamefagging does exist, especially here, but the posts you believe are samefags are not necessarily samefag. It seems like something has caused you to become upset if you felt the need to say something like this.
>>557635906>samefagging here doesnt existCorrect.
>>557636042I dont know why you keep saying i refuse to believe something. I completely agree with you.
>>557636095Someone asked him if the latest Hamaguchi interview contained good news and he went insane. Anything might be a trigger at this point.
>>557636271Since you're still here, how about taking a crack at >>557613916
>>557636756Hah! pretty funny!
>>557636296I don't understand why he wont even give his own opinion about the interview he posted, but he will talk about his bogeyman's opinion and police the opinions of anyone who does talk about it.
>>557637490A kindly stranger who was passing by already told you that he said it was interesting. He'd tell you again if he was still here.
>>557635668I fear you may be right
There's literally never a Lightning post during times like these. Never. That's been a consistent trend for as long as Lightning posts and detective posts have existed. I just think it's interesting that 2 of the most outspoken and prominent posters on /ffg/ are literally never present in the room at the same time.
>>557638934We haven't had a single post about V or XVI or XIV or gachas for the past few hours either. And not one "fatherless" post. What does it mean?
>>557638934>during times like theseThere haven't been any Lightning posts in the thread at all.
>>557639343Why do you answer yourself?
>>557639549see >>557575875
>>557639549>no shitposting>thread has been the best in monthsFunny coincidence. I'm noticing...
>>557639616>the only Lightning posts is from the guy who spams "fatherless" in every threadlol
>>557639748As much as there still has been shitposting, I do think we have actually talked about some video games this thread. Things were going pretty well until someone told us that we're not allowed to mention Killer Inn. And then the [Good News], of course, was actually devastating for VIIR's biggest fan.
>>557636095>X does exist, especially here, but the posts you believe are X are not necessarily X.I will use this template in the future, definitely.
>>557639748What’s shitposting to you? Just curious.
>>557639991I mean, just make sure you use it appropriately. The /ffg/ has an issue where upset shitposters use "clever" "gotcha" tactics incorrectly or at inopportune times where they are not at all applicable.
>>557640052nta but posts about ff games I like that aren't positive in nature are shitposting
Shut the fuck up with all this shitpostingNow, choose 2.
>>557640417After the two monks, I wanted to suggest two mages, but I don't see Vivi...Golbez and Shanttoto, does that count as a black mages duel?
Looks like we need to remind them again: Before you start talking negatively about Naoki Yoshida, FFXIV, or FFXVI, just remember he's a human being.
How can you all read >>557612789 and not see what a cancer this guy is? You're all ok with seeing that post and just letting him get away with it? And I'm suddenly the bad guy for calling him out?
>>557640617Just remember XIV and XVI are ffg's top two Final Fantasy games! >>557468436
>>557639343Interesting observation. However, no one avatarfags with V, XVI, XIV, or gachas. We do have someone who wishes for posters to identify his posts by attaching Lightning to them even when they are not at all about XIII. Except during certain bouts of VIIR discussion.
>>557643756So what have we learned
>>557643901This is /ffg/. There's never really anything to learn.
>>557640617More people need to read this
>>557643901If someone shares interesting viir information do not ask if its good news
>>557641236>>557644703We moved on but thanks for bringing it up again
>>557644703Also, do not share your own opinion of it either.
>>557644779I must remember to use this one next time we get an unprompted namefag callout concerning 6 year old drama nobody else understands or is interested in
>>557645120This is very interesting to everyone though and they are all on my side.
>>557614081Huh
>>557643501As they should, XIV has objectively the best black mage class I ever saw. Even Dragon Dogma get mogged by it.
>>557644779>We moved onTo what? What were we discussing
>>557640512>https://litter.catbox.moe/f5w3ilrtzjm0unyi.mp4man that took a while
>>557646002Stop talking about it. It's done. We moved on.
>>557647092To what? I'd like to join in
>>557647621The DOW has never been that high!
>>557646278Holy cow, I FUCKING LOVE Golbez. He's still a wizard, but he doesn't use a staff or a wand or even a magical sword, no. That mad lad just cast magic, no need for any catalyser.

>>557648131TAY Golbez is awesome, it's just a shame that TAY is so much long and drawn out serialized filler that was not edited in any way when converting it from a mobile game that was sold in installments into a single player offline game.
>>557651483Yeah, but TAY manages to turn even the spoony bard into a badass. Makes sense that they'd turn another badass into a bigger badass.
>>557520965I think what the cultist is doing is pretending to be Jimbo's annoying 7R fanboy persona when replying to posts "dunking" on criticism. It's akin to what insecure kids do when copying others they look up to as their superior, but it's pretty autistic not to mention pathetic for an adult who I'd assume's in their mid-to-late 30s or maybe even 40s to be doing that still.
>>557653559>replying to 28 hour schizo post to agree with itThe entire premise is already debunked. See >>557522223Look at the archives results yourself. Only 5 results across six (6!!) years are from /xivg/. All "spam" of that phrase (the exact same post, nothing different) is from /ffg/.

>>557478032>>557612789What kind of monster would post things like this? Don't you know some of our inmates have PTSD? Innocent looking posts like these might just cause a lot of mental damage to our more delicate residents.
>>557654325What you can be absolutely certain of is that no nerves were struck by anyone asking what someone's opinion about Final Fantasy news is. It just wouldn't make any sense for someone to be upset about such a benign question.
>>557654585If you express an opinion on final fantasy here there's a chance someone might reply to agree with you. Would you risk that?
>>557654969Absolutely not. If they agreed with me then there'd be nothing to be upset about. Unless...
>>557655126That got a big laugh from me, thank you anon. /ffg/ is always good but this is a particularly enjoyable thread.

Guy who was complaining about ff6 random encounters here. Thank god for Edgar’s auto crossbow, ive been spamming it and its made things smooth
>>557659531One unspoken thing about JRPGs like this is that "speeding up encounters" is semi-intentionally a problem you're expected to solve. Whether it's finding some easy spammable like auto-crossbow, or spending resources (mass magic casts) to get things going quicker, or taking higher risk strats. Explore and have fun
>>557659938>One unspoken thing about JRPGs like this is that "speeding up encounters" is semi-intentionally a problem you're expected to solvethats why the problem is not the random encounters, but the encounter rate.

What's peak unc-FF?
>>557680069If by "unc" you mean Millennial, then FFX.
>>557680069VI, VII, or X
I’m playing the series. I’m just wondering, why aren’t FF11 or 13 talked about? Are they bad?
>>55769184111 is an mmo from the pre-wow days of mmos. It's incredibly antiquated and not easy to navigate. Also because it was an MMO in a series that was traditionally single player a lot of the fan base never gave it a chance.That said it has one of the best stories in the FF series and the best OST.someone else can talk about 13.
Holy shit I got E33 to work and it slaps. It seem to fix the really fun part of a lot of different Final Fantasy to achieve PEAK....yes, including FFXIV and "every class has its own rotation".
>>557694061>to fix the really fun partTo pick the really fun parts*Sorry, I just did my first real parry and I'm excited, because I unlock a marking shot for Gustave who has a synergy with Lune's fire spell that applies two additional fire stacks if the target has been marked before.
>>557694061E33 is a good game. However, I just think turn-based combats are boring.
>>557694061off-topic enjoy your vacation>>557691841XIII is mega shitXI is peak 10/10 FF kino
>>557694061The True FFXVI.
>>557694061>>557694273E33 really starts off great, especially going in blind. I don't think it carries the momentum all the way to the end though, sadly.
>>557691841>why aren’t FF11 or 13 talked about? Are they bad?Surely you mean different games than these and you just got your roman numerals mixed up. XI is very highly praised, but because it's an MMO from very early on in the development of online games, especially online console games, and because FF is mostly a single-player series, not "many" people have played it. However, it has been gaining traction more recently due to XIV's Vana'diel (XI) Alliance Raid series and the dual subscription discount promotions it has run during their release. So many people have tried it since then that they had to disable new character creation on XI's 2 most populated servers. It's definitely not a bad game, though it is so archaic that it's nigh unplayable by modern standard. It's so archaic that its controls and UI and the way the player interacts with the game engine were outdated even when it launched in 2002. For example, XII plays like a much more polished version of XI. XIII *was* pretty much never talked about, but a few months after Rebirth's release, a single poster began using XIII to shitpost about XVI for 12 or more hours every single day. I believe this person also began making pretty much daily XIII threads on /v/, possibly even multiple daily threads, because really it did used to be that no one ever talked about it except to call it shit in passing. I guess a YouTuber must have made a 1-3 hour video essay on how XIII is actually a misunderstood masterpiece or something so this opinion might be gaining traction with zoomers who are so used to the more shitty and soulless modern environment of video games that they either actually do believe XIII is a misunderstood and overlooked masterpiece, or more likely that's what they were just told to believe, or it might even just be one guy's shitpost mission that he set for himself. Either way, I think that II, III, VIII, and XII are the least talked about FF games.
>>557704626I'm fucking dreading the day when a XIII remaster/port comes out and everyone says it's some misunderstood masterpiece that people finally appreciate, rather than everyone disliking it just having nothing more to say about it
>>557704626>I think that II, III, VIII, and XII are the least talked about FF games.One of these things is not like the other...
>>557704769>I'm fucking dreading the day when a XIII remaster/port comes outNo you're not. >and everyone says it's some misunderstood masterpiece that people finally appreciateI don't believe that will happen. The reality is still that XIII is literally an uninterrupted corridor all the way from the beginning to the end (except Pulse), it shuffles the party and leaves you mostly with only 2 party members you can't choose for like half of the game, the cast is the most unlikable group of characters that Final Fantasy has ever had, and it is literally an autobattler where you never need to take full advantage of the nuances of the battle system unless you leave yourself purposely massively underleveled. It was always my opinion that XIII got more hate than it deserves, but I also think that with this new artificial push by one guy to make XIII relevant again, it is perhaps now more praised than it deserves. I think the music is decent, and I think the combat is decent if you are forced to actually interact with it, which you never are if playing the game naturally. However, my opinion is that, first and foremost, Final Fantasy is about its story and its characters, and these are two of the biggest failings of XIII as a Final Fantasy game. That said, 2026 is a lot more gay and trans and feminist than 2009 was. I do believe it's possible that a XIII remaster could find a new audience of gay, trans, and feminist players who identify with Lightning and her pink haired "gatekeep, gaslight, girlboss" attitude. The type of people who say to themselves "she's literally me" or "mood" or "period~!" every time Lightning punches someone. >rather than everyone disliking it just having nothing more to say about itI believe it will still be the case that most people either dislike it or walk away just thinking it's pretty "meh". Or, again since it's 2026 now, people might even call it woke garbage.
>>557706216What do you think about these posts >>557653559 >>557592967 >>557704769?
>>557706357bro twenty four hours later is still mad
>>557706864That is definitely a correct opinion to have about the 3 referenced posts when read together.
>>557695813I like them. They feel rewarding. In real time, you don't really appreciate a +10% damage buff, in a turn-based game, you do.
>>557695813>However, I just think turn-based combats are boring.E33 is mostly not turn-based. It's mostly QTE-based and Parry-based. As a demonstration of this: if you don't Parry, you die, whereas if you don't "do" turn-based, you can still Parry to win. Some attacks can only be parried, and some bosses can only be defeated by parrying. The turn-based portion of E33 is actually very little of the game.
>>557706216Essentially, FFXIII sucks ass, which is what really annoyed you.
>>557706864B-B-B-B-B-BASED
Oh so this is like FFIX's skills.These skills were always a mixed bag, because bosses would come out of nowhere and surprise you. I remember wanting to fight the two mimes in FFIX, and I knew they were Evil, so I wanted to wait the last moment to put EvilSlayer on everyone, but before we even see them ingame, the cutscene started, and I didn't even get time to change my skills before the boss started.
>>557723061>Oh so this is like FFIX's skills.Mechanically, yes, it's very similar to IX's skills. You'll soon find out though that it lacks any depth at all, and you'll be putting the same exact skills on everyone in your party.
>>557723061>Oh so this is like FFIX's skills.yes but in this game they are stupidly broken and you dont have a limit to them

>>557744625>>557746513Sorry, you didn't say anything about your enemy or some namefag and you're not shitting on any Final Fantasy game so no one cares. If you want an answer to a question, especially about Rebirth, you should frame it as a seething complaint so that someone shows up to tell you how your complaint is wrong and then explains why it's wrong to you. >search engines are USELESS nowThat is absolutely true though. Google just gives you AI shit and then a couple real results that keep repeating themselves forever. Youtube gives you like 5 video results and if none of those 5 videos are the one you wanted you're SoL
>>557746513Unfortunately FF is no longer a popular videogame franchise anymore due to several factors. As you can see most other generals are far more active due to fan interest.What is sad is there are over 100 videogames under the FF banner and there is still so little interest that the general sees minimal on topic action. Meanwhile other generals about single games do just fine.
>>557745998couldn't keep his mouth shut and snorting over him.

>>557705751>I also think that with this new artificial push by one guy to make XIII relevant againMy nigger all 13fags are stubborn deluded contrarians with low standards, like what are you even on about? kekIt's been like this on /v/ for years that it's a staple for ironic bait to say "it's good ackchually" because it triggers autists over there. They even used to Goddess spam to kill threads when their game was getting shat on too much.I could go on an even longer rant about how annoying that fanbase is, but only if anyone else wants me to. Otherwise I'll just say the game's just fucking egregious to play and anyone who falls for the propaganda that it's actually """fun""" are gullible retards and this is coming from someone who bought it on release, beat it once and then over the years tried to replay it 3 more times to see if I my feelings towards it changed.
>>557765945>all 13fagsAll one of them?>>557761861Rydia's cute but damn she's a thick-skull.
>>557765945>It's been like this on /v/ for years that it's a staple for ironic bait to say "it's good ackchually" because it triggers autists over there.Yes, anyone who says the like XIII is either being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian or they are baiting. The Lightningfag here though has spent the last 2 years really selling the image that he genuinely loves XIII, so if he doesn't actually love XIII, his behavior for the past 2 years needs to be examined by a psychiatrist.
>>557765945It's kinda amazing how XIII is still way better than XVI.
>>557779503Not a high bar.
>she becomes small again>"something">"feels">"FUNNY"
>>557765945>It's been like this on /v/ for years that it's a staple for ironic bait to say "it's good ackchually" because it triggers autists over there.The XIIIfag really really really really really wants people to believe that he's being for real
>>557779587Why do you answer yourself? Right after someone called you out, no less...Weird coincidence!
>>557724275I mean, in IX, I remember starting every battle with auto shell, auto carapace, auro regen, and autohaste.No Dagger or Eiko needed.
>>557778229>All one of them?Yes. Every single fucking one of them. I've debated enough of them and consoomed enough video essays to confidently say they do indeed know everything about their game sucks, from the story, characters (besides Lightning), writing and development struggles, they just don't admit it out loud, but instead love deflecting to 10 or say all the things people mainly criticize 13 for (linearity/auto battle/data log) isn't valid because those are "brainlet takes". All they ever really have left to fall back onto is the combat during debates and never ever EVER want to point to 13-2 and LR being far superior in that department and suggest people play those two instead. They only ever go to bat for the lesser game in the trilogy which is super weird to me.
>>557781818You misunderstood my point. I'm joking that there's only one XIIIfag here.
>>557781927Obviously. I read it wrong, but it gave me an excuse to bitch regardless and I still stand by what I said. 16 and even 15 being shit doesn't magically make 13 a masterpiece.
Why is he so cool?
>>557782754>16 and even 15 being shit doesn't magically make 13 a masterpiece.I've been saying the same thing a lot: shitting on them won't magically make XIII any better. Or even good.
once you get the Cursed Ring, you never leave.You will always want and desire the other hidden half of the game. And will fight tooth and nail to see it happen.If you want to obtain the cursed ring and figure out what it means for you, all you have to do is watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2xaaSl_MTIwhen you feel it, you will shit bricks.

The incel rage...
DAMN this shit getting real kino
Yeah, absolute 10/10.You actually can choose "Yes" in the previous option, and make Kain kill Cecil unironically.If you do that, the dungeon just ends in a sorrowful note.So obviously, you gotta choose "No". BUT IF YOU DO THAT, you are thrown in a fight against LUNAR BAHAMUT. Alone.You can cheese it if you have an item that gives you Reflect, but otherwise, Elixir spam and timing jumps to dodge the Megaflares. It came so out of nowhere lmao.
>>557788307...?Hold, I'm confused, what is that? TAY?
>>557788952Its still FF4. The Lunar Ruins dungeon.Each character has their own unique floor, from which they obtain a exclusive piece of equipment that buffs their ability.Kain gets double jump, Edge actually does damage when he steals, and so on.
>>557792406I don't remember that. Like, not at all. Is it exclusive to this version?Also who's the hottie between Cecil and Cain?
>>557792406I guess I need to play the PSP version.
>>557792741>>557793208It was in the GBA version too.>Also who's the hottie between Cecil and Cain?the ABSOLUTE state of this general
>>557745998He was a guy Ultima thought might be Mythos, but he couldn't handle absorbing all the Eikons, which is apparently why he ultimately became a husk that looks similar to people suffering from the crystals' curse, albeit not 100% statue-ifiedWhy he's called "The Transgressor" is unclear, but he probably just tried rebelling against Ultima at some point, and then Ultima kept his reanimated corpse around to test the real MythosMaybe he just found it amusingly ironic or something

>>557802914
>>557802553>>557802767Synopsis of the XIII video:>when they played the game in 2010 in English as an ESL they couldn't possibly comprehend the depth in the story or the contemporary political themes nearly as profoundly as they can playing it today>Playing it in Japanese helped them to break down the translation/localization quirks which famously plague the English version, and caused many people to misunderstand the lore and terminology or get confused/frustrated by it>This lack of friction allowed them to be much more immersed in the story and caused them to change their mind on the game entirely, despite still acknowledging many flaws and shortcomings in executionSynopsis of the "XVI video":>they correctly identify and break down the entire series' root gameplay/narrative synthesis principle of "telling story through gameplay", entry by entry before starting to tear into the modern games that have worked further and further away from those principles in favor of using cookie cutter modern action game elements>finishes the essay off by saying that FFVIIR combat brings the gameplay/narrative synthesis back, and that the action ATB system should be the identity of this series moving forwardNothing so shallow or trivial here, and it's not engagement bait. These are just some Final Fantasy video essays from two different channels that I just so happened to have sitting in my watch history
The day is fast approaching
Lightning generalLightning franchise
This general is so much better when the Lightning avatarfag isn't spamming shitposts. Change the channel. Bring back the guy posting his FFIV playthrough.
>>557639549Remember....people get upset about posts that don't exist every single day.
>>557677026>Does "4chan poster" = JimboI don't think so. It's... the person who posted the interview. The guy who refused to provide his own opinion on it. This person: >>557611739>"His enemy" = NSP/ffg/ keeps telling me they are the same person. "His enemy" in this case is mentioned by name in this post: >>557612873>While someone's insinuating it's actually MeI don't think anyone did that.
>>557612873>There is no there there. It's been years, and you need to admit it's over.>It's either not him, and he's not here, or he is here and you've got jack shit for proof.>Maybe he is a shitposter and maybe he does post on 4chan or monitor this thread.>Maybe he is this guy who has been fucking with you for years.>But until you actually have SOMETHING there you need to shut up about the "Jimbo" namefag and post some Final Fantasy.>Ignore/report shitposters who spam and argue in bad faith, etc etc.>Or you can at least focus on actually debating the idea you disagree with when it upsets you instead of making an ass of yourself.
>>557612789Sounds like [tremendous news] really. The Switch 2/Series S ports won't hold part 3 back on the other platforms, whether it's the concerns about game file sizes or the various consoles memory speed. Effects and features are just scaled down as neededI just hope they can squeeze a little bit of extra juice out of that UE4 sky lighting and make a world map that feels authentic. Because they only have one final shot to capture the look of Final Fantasy VII in this dated engine, and this finale should have all of the absolute cinematic peaks from the original story. The #1 problem from each game so far for me was the horrendous daytime sky lighting system, it can make an otherwise great looking game look downright hideous. And I don't think that issue has ever been addressed by the developers. Really makes me concerned for how part 3 will be treated come 2027 when there will be so many other ridiculously stunning and advanced UE5 games coming out. Some of its areas might realistically be "Lightning Returns tier" in direct comparison to other big RPGs that will be releasing in the next year.
A polished turd is better than Lightning Returns.

Dude was literally playing FFXIII and posting new screenshots just a few weeks ago, he started replaying the game after the New Year. People can go weeks or months without posting here or even playing any video games if they feel like it yknow>>557831272I don't know why your great on topic post would trigger an instant seethe post like that from the local but I think literally anything FF related can. I think baddie FF would be pretty gud, especially if that's a major twist and you played 3/4 of game thinking you were the hero. Even though I know that seems cliche but if it's well done it can be an amazing story trope
>>557808438That thing has a penis.
>>557835412>I don't know why your great on topic post would trigger an instant seethe post like that from the locali've mastered the art of baiting the schizo residentswhich are 90% of the general.
>>557836893The reality is that saying literally anything about Final Fantasy is eventually going to trigger someone who uses that comment to made a XVI shitpost or a XIII shitpost, and then whenever that shitpost gets made, it's necessarily going to trigger the "opposing" party to shitpost the "opposing" game in response. The important thing to remember is that as long as we're all shitposting about XVI and/or XIII, no one is saying negative or positive things about VIIR, both of which seem equally likely to trigger its schizo.
>>557832243>deflecting Nice try Paulie.
>>557832027You struck a nerve, the fatherless immediately got pissed.
>XVI this>XIII that>VIIR whateverTotally not Barry attempts to hide XV from the shit it deserves.
>>557840842Generally the same behavior, but actually all different people.
>>557840842But XV is getting the shit it deserves: forgotten with no one bothering to bring it up.The opposite of love is not hate.It's indifference.
>>557841228>The opposite of love is not hate.>It's indifference.That is very true.
>>557804224Personally, I found the social and political situation in XIII more interesting than in XVI. Cocoon, as a metaphor for society, has something absolutely accurate about people. You put them in a perfect gilded cage, and they'll grow so weak and fragile, so they start devouring themselves, fearing their own shadows. It's like in the good old Rat Paradise experiment series.
>>557832243BASED
>Edgar Roni Figaro is in the Epstein filesIt’s always the ones you least suspect
>>557831272Not a bad premise by itself but the problem is that there's not really much to *actually* say with it since the villains obviously have far better odds for the sake of tension. A hypothetical FF "where you play as the evil empire" would have the good guys utterly irrelevant which betrays the novelty, and trying to play around this would most likely just have the plot loop back to Matsuno-styled stories.

Ok, what about a Final Fantasy in which there's no story. Like, not even a simplistic one like FF1 or DQ. No, 0 story. Just pure gameplay. No dialogue. No cutscenes. Characters made only to play. Scenarios and monsters and bosses. Nothing else.
>>557451571What a winner.
I still can't fathom how absurdly OP he is.It's like a bad joke that they decided to make the pussy ass bard the strongest hitter in the game.
>>557867225Because he's useless for most of the early game.
Guess we a taxi now...
These fights are actually pretty neat. You didn't get to fight most of the summons (well, you can on the Rydia trial), so their Lunar variants fill that.

>>557878309I'd still fuck her.
this fucking game
>>557879430You can do it. It's doable.
Oh yea I forgot to mention this the other day.Basically, this is the ACTUAL superboss of the game. There's Zeromus EG at the end of this dungeon, but that's a pushover.THIS ASSHOLE ON THE OTHER HAND, its entirely 100% optional. he has its own floor, you are told to NOT approach him, and you can indeed ignore him continue on as normally.IF YOU DO APPROACH HIM, it starts the most bullshit fight in the whole game.It's gimmick is that he has 3 modes.Physical, Megaflare, and ((((MAGIC))))Physical is the easiest one, for besides one instakill spell, all he does is random attacks. You can tank those easy enough.Megaflare is also "doable", just a countdown, and when it finishes, he nukes the entire party. If you don't reflect, he wipes you. If you reflect, you do 9999 damage. Simple, right?WRONGFor if you DARE TO ATTACK HIM, IN ANY WAY, during the countdown, he will start the magic phase.He will apply on himself shield and reflect, and start spamming 3 "delta spells" per turn, each enough to nuke one char each. And this phase will take a looooong ass time. Or at least it feels so, with all the healing and reviving you'll have to do.You really, REALLY, don't want him to enter this phase.The reward it's pretty neat, tho. A shield that everyone can use, and that absorbs all elemental magic. ... Not that you will need it after this. Unless you wanna farm this boss over and over to give a shield to the entire cast.
Is there a filter for this fag spamming his playthrough?
>>557883734I'm enjoying the playthrough, Final Fantasy enjoying chad. Ignore the schizo who only wants to talk about his enemies while giving them pet names.
>>557883734Sadly typical for FF, the best loot is basically useless.
>>557887194Filter thisFor there's still a whole ass game for me to go throughAnd then 5. And then 6. And then 7. And ill continue until every schizo here shuts the fuck up.
>>557888373What's that? I know TAY so I care minus about it, but interlude?
>>557888503It's really just TAY Prologue. A small chapter that story-wise takes place in between 4 and TAY.
>>557888708Hah. Sorry then, I'll skip it. TAY has nice ideas (Golbez coming back, Bahamut rebelling, Edward showing 1% of his power...) but I really, REALLY dislike poor Edge still holding a candle, or the fiends betraying Golbarg.
>>557888915Yeah TAY was always a mess. I guess in due part to how it was conceived, as a chapter by chapter thing.Had it been a proper singular game, without all the constant back and forth, it COULD have been nice. As long you forget the stupid ass plot with the Creator, which ruins FF4 and dares to imply everything in classic FF was due to him as-well.
>TAY exists>we could have gotten FFV and VI remade on DS>also they were too busy remaking the other FF titles on psp
>>557889416I try to forget about him and I succeeded until you brought him up.
>>557888915>but I really, REALLY dislike poor Edge still holding a candleYeah. It's kinda weird, but you can't blame him for trying I guess. Rydia is a goddess. >>557889758>>TAY exists>>we could have gotten FFV and VI remade on DSThat's not how the timeline works out though. The reason we don't have a Remake of V or VI is because Team Asano made a shitty game, then made Bravely Default, then made Octopath Traveler, made a pit stop for Live-A-Live which was likely a pet project because the Live-A-Live guy is on Team Asano, and now they're doing Dragon Quest Remakes. TAY was originally a mobile game released in installments much earlier, and the PSP versions have nothing to do with it either.
And that's it. All character trials done, everyone up to 99. Zeromus EG truly was a disappointment. Then again, anything would be with all stats max out.I always found its design weirdly compelling. Like sure, its Zeromus, but why is it a mecha now? and has a bitch on the front?
>>557890093Rydia is made for kinky spankings and ling roleplay sessions followed by a lot of anal sex. >>557890151EG standing for?
>>557890443Easy GameThe design came from the Zeromus on the "Easy" version of FF4, exclusive to japan, that was actually a loosely based on the original USA version.
>>557890443>ling roleplay?
>>557890151man it must suck to be a female stuck on some abomination. also why did the PSP final fantasy never have V and VI remade? hell we didn't even get III remade in 2D until pixel remaster.
>>557890812iirc, IV has had the most releases of any Final Fantasy game except I. In a way, it's the darling of the series.
>>557890093speaking of mobile games, it was also on wiiware for the nintendo wii and hasn't been on nintendo consoles since. what gives SE? is it so bad nintendo themselves don't want it? It also has the other remake of adventures of mana in 2D, well for mobile phones. there was also before crisis. so many phone games must be made playable.
>>557887194The filenames of his spam only have 5 numbers. If you look at the filter list in the OP pasta I'm sure you can figure out how to filter the playthrough spam

why the hell has SE not rerelease those titles from wiiware?also FFT artbook announced for november
https://na.store.square-enix-games.com/the-art-of-final-fantasy-tactics
>>557891567>'s only remembered because of Golbez without armor appearance, Kain Holy Dragoon, and... not much else, really.That might be what people who have never played it think. I think Leonora is kinda cool, pink Porom is nice, the new appearance of a lot of the characters are nice, Edge's ninja squad is alright, the not-Rydia bad guy is okay. The only one that I didn't like at all was girl-Cid. It's still a bad game overall, but it's not all bad. It should have been like a 20 hour game, but as it was originally sold in installments as a mobile game, they artificially inflated a lot of it to make people feel like they were getting what they paid for. If they had trimmed it down when turning it into a real game, it would have been a lot better.

Ahem!Final Fantasy XIII, XV, XVI, Remake and Rebirth are all wonderful games. Octopath Traveller, Bravery Default and Triangle Strategy are Final Fantasy legacy games, based on Sakaguchi's tradition.Final Fantasy is alive and prospering right now. *drops mic*
>>557916386Dude, both Sakaguchi and Kitase have such an inferiority complex towards the film industry. They had it, and even now, a little bit remains. First Spirits Within, and then they wanted to turn FF into a game version of AC with FNC— and that's the source of all their problems in the 2000s.

Her behavior, like some whiny, obnoxious Karen from Twitter, is annoying, and it is beneath any man (I'm assuming he's a man, since 95% of this site's population is male) to behave like that, but we hardly can do anything about it, so we're left with two options maybe - put the bitch in her place, or, if she keeps screaming like a pig, continue to mock her. There's something about Lightning that turns off such creatures. Did you see how Epstein reacted to the mention of Jesus in that new interview? The troglodyte immediately grimased at the mere mention of the King. Something similar is happening here - the evil satanic monsters are afraid of even the mere mention of Final Fantasy cool heroine, or how the fuck you all name her.Anyway, the point is XIII is good, XIII-2 is good, LR is good, and I'm tired pretending they're not. What the fuck.
>>557934501Based king....your post.....so fragrant...so irrefutable.
XIII is not a very good game and it began the dark ages of Final Fantasy. We have been stuck in a 20 year long vortex of shitty trilogies ever since. XIII killed FInal Fantasy because it apparently turned FF into a series of trilogies, which it never was before. 20 years of Lightning and a bastardized version of Cloud, no wonder people are checking out.
>>557935041sneed
>>557935041XIII literally killed Squaresoft, forcing it to be bought by Enix, and it's sad that the shitposting spammer who keeps answering his own posts refuses to admit that.Then again, a lack of father figures does that.

>>557935148You struck a nerve.
>>557935118Just telling it how it is, from the perspective of an oldfag who began with FFI on the NES. >>557935148>XIII literally killed Squaresoft, forcing it to be bought by EnixThat's really not how the timeline works out, but XIII was the first SE FF that was bad. XII was alright, but no one liked XIII and it turned into a shitty trilogy. Fabula Nova Crystallis was such a fucking bad idea in retrospect. Seemed like it was going to be cool, but it ruined Final Fantasy for everyone except a couple trannies who identify as Lightning (formerly Claire)>>557935264Don't tell me what to do. I have played the Asano games though. FF has been a series of trilogies for the past 2 decades. FNC turned FF into a trilogy series. XIII, XIII-2, LR, Type-0, even XV, all part of what was originally supposed to be a "trilogy" of games, then everything go trapped in dev hell, XIII turned into the trilogy, and XV became its own title despite actually being FNC still. Then they dedicated their "main" FF team to the fucking Final Fantasy VII trilogy that is so bastardized that it's bleeding its playerbase like it sliced a femoral or aortic artery. Instead of getting eight (8) "different" FF games, we got FNC and VIIR. XVI is the only Final Fantasy game that was released since XII. >>557935285XVI is the only true Final Fantasy game that has been released since XII. Everything else is some gay ass piece of shit trilogy that no one asked for.
>>557932592Kek based

>>557935726>XV became its own title despite actually being FNC stillNope. XV is not FNC.> XVI is the only Final Fantasy game that was released since XII. Nope, VIIR, XIII Trilogy and XV are all Final Fantasy games. Again, XVI happened and XVII will happen, and XVII will be it's own thing.Next meltdown I guess.
>>557935984Nope. Cope harder, troon!

>wake up>open thread>fatherless vs barry vs viirtardwoah....
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
1) XIII trilogy (kino, its own thing)2) Type-0 (totally original thing, completely different tone, only the mythology is similar, BUT not at all identical, since each FNC creator had a lot of freedom in interpreting the basic FNC myth)3) VIIR4) XV (its own thing, veeeery loose, almost nonexistent connection to the old FNC lore)5) XVI (its own thing)6) XIV (its own thing)7) Octopath series (its own thing, real Guchi-like experience)8) Triangle Strategy (real Tactics-like experience, its own thing)9) Bravery series (its own thing, real Guchi-like experience)10) Adventures of Elliot in 2026 (spiritual successor to CT, hence - by transitivity - a Final Fantasy game since CT is FF)11) Jack's game.12) Fantasian (real Guchi experience!)Yep, I'm counting at least 12 different games in FF series since XIII (let's not count #10). Life is good, Final Fantasy is flourishing.
>>557936198>Yes, it is. Nope.>You're just defending your poor baby shit trilogy.Nope.
>>557935984You won, it's very angry again.
>>557936959What a horrible cope post. >>557937093What a piece of shit post made by a retard blindly defending 20 years worth of trilogies in a series that was never supposed to have trilogies.

>>557937327That's gonna be a swing and a miss I'm afraid
Since XIII, thanks to the efforts of the developers from CS1, Team Asano, CS3, and others, we've been blessed with at least 12 different Final Fantasy gaming experiences. Which of these games would you like to discuss?
>>557937406>Told ya, it keeps answering itself.Yeah, I guess that's what he's deciding to do this morning. That nearly exactly 2 minute gap is just too fucking obvious.
>>557937512I mean, when you see that some posts go "woo xiii is so good, why don't more people talk about it????" and the other half goes "nuuu eye'm not samefagging :(((", you know it's seething and losing it.
Heroine. Meltdon. Engaged.
I wonder what part of this myth was used in XV hmmmmm. Perhaps at least the lines about balance can be pulled in and linked to XV? Hmmmmm.

>>557937512>>557937634Yup, you hit true, it's spamming now, evne more shamelessly and fatherlessly than before.
>>557937254>>557938173I'm just describing reality guys. In reality, all of these games are Final Fantasy experiences, all are their own things with their own gameplay, lore, story, progression and so forth. It's time to stop worshiping brands, look around, and realize that SE never even considered abandoning Sakaguchi's legacy. It lives on, games in his style are constantly being released, and they're being made by many of the same people who worked on the old FF games. AND new AAA games are constantly being released too!!! Trilogy XIII, XV, XIV, XVI, trilogy VII.Life is good, BUT may be even better! Final Fantasy is good, BUT things may be even more diverse.
>>557932592Prophetic.
>>557939458Why do you answer your own posts?
>>557938392This image is fan-made, but I guess your newfag ass wouldn't know that.
>>557939910Don't call me a newfag, you stupid fucking zoomer. I've been on this website longer than you have been alive. I've been a Final Fantasy fan since the NES (also longer than you have been alive). Final Fantasy XV *is* Versus XIII. It is a continuation of FNC. The Final Fantasy series, as I already stated, has been in a black hole vortex of "trilogies" for the past 20 years. We have ~10 years of FNC bullshit and another ~10 years of Cloud (again) bullshit. The only Final Fantasy game that has released since XII is XVI. Everything else is FNC trash (truly a huge mistake in hindsight) or VIIR trash, which should have only been one game, not a decade long trilogy. That's 20 years of potential progress, lost, spinning in circles just doing FNC and VIIR shit. >>557939613I think he's pretending to be Vanillefag, because someone noticed recently that Vanillefag hasn't posted in a while and last time this was pointed out, "he" magically showed up as posted for a while. Just like he's always seems to show up every time he's mentioned to say "I'm not here", he seems to have adopted Vanillefag's personality as well and brings that out every time someone notices that he hasn't been posting, to keep the illusion alive.
>>557938464>>557938553>>557938297FNC was a high-tier myth, indeed.Lightning for ants.
>>557940280Does he really think that anyone is dumb enough to not recognize his fatherless ass?
>sees Vanille>loses his mind and crashes outMore than one guy posts her. Tough luck.
>>557938017This question is very hard to answer for the local shitter, huh.
>XIII is FNC, undoubtedly >game was originally called "VERSUS XIII">zoomer tranny thinks it has nothing to do with FNC thoughWhy even adopt this shitpost? I don't understand. Do you really need to shitpost so bad that you'll say FNC isn't FNC?
>>557940280whatever you say, newfag.>Fantasy XV *is* Versus XIIIWrong as always.
The [Good News] is that if he is shitposting and samefagging himself here, that means no one is insulting VIIR's honor on /v/, because if that were happening then he wouldn't be here pretending that Versus XIII isn't part of FNC.
>>557940595Subhuman, FNC is a set of connected entries. In FNC series myth is what connects all the entries - Agito (Type-0), Versus XIII, XIII Trilogy. What aspect of the FNC myth was used in XV? Think, subhuman, think!
>>557939458You posted a heroine and upset the local shitter. Again.Based.
Why is the tranny shitposting about something so stupid now? Is it just that he doesn't want people to realize FNC spawned more than one schizo?
FNC? Kino
>>557940887>What aspect of the FNC myth was used in XV?We will never know because we dont even know to what extent Versus was supposed to get into FNC. Only that Ethro was there.I mean, remember, FNC killed itself pretty early on. XIII-2 already ruined any prospect of it ever working, and by then surely Versus was being considered to either remain in dev hell forever, or drop the FNC tag. And then, when Versus became XV, we have the problem of Nomura obviously envisioning something that then Tabata deleted. What parts of Nomura vision were there since FNC days? And what were new content for XV? And what did Tabata reused?We will never know. To this day current XV remains a mystery.
Retarded newfag still doesn't understand or misinterprets our words. The good thing, FF scholar - me - is here.Versus XIII is FNC.Versus XIII is not XV.XV is not FNC. Why?There's not a single bit of FNC myth in XV.Seems like we struck a nerve indeed.
>>557940595Without a father to set them straight, kids tend to err on the side.Sadly unavoidable.
>>557941315>Versus XIII is not XV.kek, what a stupid tranny you are. For better or for worse, XV is Versus XIII. It's undeniable. Only a retard trying to protect his pink haired tranny "mother" would think otherwise.
>>557941260>We will never know But of course we know! Reread the question. We have the full FNC myth, and we have the full info on XV's mythology. The goal is simple: compare FNC with mythos in XV, and understand what they essentially have nothing in common. My question wasn't about Versus. It's about XV.
>>557941315Who's "we", fatherless schizo?
>>557941315Correct.
>>557941780Me and him and you and
Not any of you retarded fags (for I just woke up), but I do consider myself an SCHOLAR in everything FNC, for i spent all those years being a stupid fanboy of the whole saga.Did you know FNC was even supposed to have a movie tie in? Of course, even before the collapse of XIV the FNC project got cull'd immensely. Most likely due to Crystal Tools being a mess of an engine no one wanted to work with. And then, with XIV almost killing SE, FNC got shoved into the XIII trilogy.Still, as I said in my previous post, we don't know what sort of vision Nomura had for Versus. For it's pretty obvious his interest in that project went beyond any tying it had with FNC. I would even suggest Ethro and the like were stuff HE added to FNC via what he wanted to include in Versus. And not the other way around. Which means, even with XV being out of FNC, he would have included a Ethro-like figure. And if so, who knows what else he would have kept.
>>557941780You struck a nerve, it's answering itself again.
>>557941315You're on a roll, explorer-kun.
>>557941483I'm gonna try again, subhuman. I'm gonna drag you to reality.What aspect of the FNC myth was used in XV?Simple question.
>>557941649Sure but what do you mean with XV? The XV we got? Or the actual Nomura vision for XV, that could have been just a renamed Versus?You may say none of that matters for "who cares, we got what we got, that's XV". And if so, indeed. There isn't FNC stuff on the released XV. At most there's derivatives and repurposed concepts.Im more interested in the Nomura vision. For that's the one which remains a mystery.
>>557942003>I would even suggest Ethro and the like were stuff HE added to FNC via what he wanted to include in Versus.Please, 10 more headcanons, "scholar".
>versus XIII is totally XV, guys!!>XV sucked>suddenly 180°, "versus xiii would've been awesome but square enix sabotaged it!!!"
>>557942319>Indeed. There isn't FNC stuff on the released XVThat wasn't very hard was it
>>557941483>XV is Versus XIIIEven Nomura would disagree with you on that one lmao.XV (the one we got) is a mess made from chunks left behind by Nomura, other pieces made by Tabata and his team, and then new fragments added later via fan reception. You cannot tell me the stuff we got post-release with the DLCs was planned beforehand. At least not the s2 (which later became the stupid ass book)
>>557942319>The XV we got? Yes, we here simply describe our shared reality man. No 'what if', no stuff like that.
Very weird shitpost that the tranny decided to samefag about today. Versus XIII is literally Final Fantasy XV. Noctis is literally Noctis. Not to him though. He'll do anything to protect his pink haired transexual self-insert.
>>557942746And notice how he calls everyone he doesn't like a troon but defends Lightning?Weeeeeeird, weird!
>>557942881Indeed.
>>557942382It's not a headcanon. It's a fact that Nomura had a very specific idea on what Versus was supposed to be like tone-wise, which naturally would shape its lore.Having a "Goddess of Death" as the main narrative force of that game it's something likely for Nomura to have cooked himself, rather than being added unto FNC first and then put in Versus.I mean, Versus and the FNC universe got announced almost simultaneously. Which means, for a good ass while, the key core concepts of FNC were limited to just Versus, XIII, and Agito. So whatever got included into those 3, would become the foundation of FNC. You can even prove this as a fact by noticing Nomura's other big project at the time: Dissidia. And in there his first idea for Cosmos, was to make her also a "Goddess of Death".
The shitters are getting extremely uppity about FNC.Keep it coming.
