How did everything go so wrong? I can't think of a single aspect of FFXV SE hasn't managed to fuck up in one way or another.

Japs can't create or manage big budget titles anymore. Would've turned out better if outsourced to a western dev.

This truly is their final fantasy.

Tabata cursed his game when he cut Stella and shat Versus fans in the mouth. What goes around comes around, slint-eyed fuck.

Stella?

Oh God no. If anything, it's too much like a western game, excluding the party designs. In fact, Tabata has been trying very hard to make this like other shitty westerntrash games. Which is why it's looking so bad.

>all the magic of Versus gone

yeah all the magic of a game that never really existed, sure pal. why don't you go cry into kagari's bosom about it fag.

nothing can save this game not even a remake.

Why is it that every single time I see a new screenshot of this game the HUD looks different from before?

No Stella. Only Luna (male) now.

Hello Kagari!

I blame Sony and the Neo.

This so fucking much. Trying to make the game look more western is what it's killing it. Fuck you SE, I hate you now.

Is XV-kun dead yet?

Because the devs are insecure, incompetent and generally very nervous about the systems of the game so they keep changing their game based on Twitter and Facebook feedback.

In the future, I hope SE just outsources all of their projects like Nier Automata. Their own devs are fucking retards.

The demo was good, but the characters are so disgusting and terribly designed that words can't even describe this.

No he's here.

>WE WANT THE WESTERNKEK audience marketing with shitty western songs plastered all over the game
The music is ok desu, but i agree with the rest

nah man! look i'm from teh future!

This game if it fails, it will kill square. Second I see them using this failure as a excuse not to bring over any more or fund AAA RPG's.

It's more like they never fostered good, new talent while relying on old guard faggots like Nomura who don't really give a fuck about Square franchises anymore.

This was one of the best Easter eggs in the game, and a real possibility too.

>Gas
Dropped

>The demo was good
The demo was a fucking laughable wreck that belonged alongside early Xbox 360 games like Enchanted Arms.

It's sad how much FF/JRPG fans will reach to avoid admitting it's all shit nowadays.

Mankind divided will save them.

Stop posting already NeithOF.

>This game if it fails, it will kill square
Square survived bigger fuckups than Versus XIII/XV. Does The Spirits Within ring a bell?

>final fantasy 15
Isnt it time to stop making more of those games?
I think we had enough

No they aren't.

I'm surprised somebody isn't on suicide watch yet.

Don't mention that vapid cunt ever again

There's no way that's real? Cmon...

When will you kill yourself?

Reminder that there are people who got a PS4 for this.
Probably the same people who got a PS3 for TLG.

Is this the part where you reply to yourself non stop?

serious question

Why are all the main party members faggy looking asian males in leather?

That's like the worst thing you can do to pitch a game to the west

Reminder there are people who died in the last ten years waiting for this huge fucking mess of a game

SE is making loads of money right now. More than they ever have. Hopefully when this inevitably flops they just end up restructuring their own internal studios instead of throwing the baby out with the water. Final Fantasy has a ton of value. Only that SE has mis-managed it for a decade straight now.

wtf I hate Tabata now

This is asian to you?

Much like any Japanese game company you'd have to basically fire all the senior management to produce any real fixes to their ongoing internal problems, which would never happen even in the face of a flop.

They used to look more acceptable but then hack Tabata and his new team took over and went full emo mode with the designs. Their Versus designs were fine. Prompto looked like a typical charmer and Gladiolus wasn't flexing his abs like it was a gay porno and there was more variety in clothing than just leather black.

>all the main characters look like they belong in a japanese hosts club

square... please stop. You fucked it up after XII.

Seriously looks like Konami before they fell from grace.

He is still looks like a faggot and you know how the rest of the cast looks like: gay.

>>no PC version in sight

Why is this a bad thingß
Pc sales are shit for nearly every game

FFXV is gonna be my first FF game and there's nothing you can do about it

>in development hell for a decade
>pc version screenshots to advertise it since day one (the very first supposed screenshots released ten years ago look much better than the last build, ten years)
>publicly states the pc version could be the proper game that was originally envisioned but could never happen on cuck tier consoles, so please buy this half baked piece of shit we had to come up with
>switched director mid-development
>axed characters people liked, in general just changed the story several times
>dumbed down the combat into a flashy buttonmasher where all the intricacies are purely optional, holding 2 buttons is the full gameplay experience that matters
>due to the typical latest trend in massive scale that can't be delivered, the game is already confirmed being filled with padding, mmo-tier errands, formulaic grinding and rehashed everything
>runs at 20 fps
The No Man's Sky of JRPGs, right here.

Yes it does, but back then Sony was investing in them and that project pretty hard.
>If I recall sony sold all the stock they had of Square-enix

Seriously, where the fuck is the PC port? How can you still not do PC ports in current year? Two months extra dev time is more than enough to make a half-decent PC port. And who the fuck will buy this on Xbone to justify the Xbone port but not PC?

Not him but you'd have to be a fucking retard to enjoy thr platinum demo. Have you ever played a single action game in your life or are your reflexes so dulled from whacking your pecker to Lightning doujins for the past 5 years that you will readily slurp down liquid shit from the increasingly prolapsed anus of the abused whore branded with the number XV, standing over your dumb, pathetic pasty waste of human flesh. Kill yourself you degenerate autistic weeb faggot, so that your mother may finally know peace!

>switched director mid-development

aside from what stellafags would have you believe there was no real work done on this game when nomura was in charge, tabata literally took over what was basically a project on life support

Go away, faggot nigger. You just love the (You)s like the cocksucker you are.

>making more money from their mobile shit that costs 10 dollars to produce than their core games in 2016
So, they are going to stop bothering with them in a few years aren't they?

while I agree that japanese developers in genral are inferior nowadays (specially in tech)
I still think that it would be a bad idea. leave the original ips in japan. pic related

That was my first post.

The bulk of sales will come from the console version anyway, even if there was a port.

Oh man your really tried again NeithOF.

All of their current outfits have been there since Versus 2011 you tard.

Yes

Atleast we got a Nier sequel before they jumped ship!

Maybe but that's their own fault. When's the last time SE's Japanese branch produced anything worth playing on a console?

I really wish Nixxies could do the FFXV pc port.

Who is this kagari? The guy grom Gaf?

Do you know the game is actually being advertised running the PC version? Meaning they basically already have a PC version ready but are just withholding it on purpose? Also Xbone version will sell less than PC version. Just look at any Japanese game. They sell more on PC than Xbone. Xbone is dudebro console.

SE fucked up badly managing it
This was supposed to be Nomura's Final Fantasy so just let him do it, don't put a guy who only made psp game do it
Don't force Nomura to make KH3 and then burden him with the FF7 Remake, don't start those projects, keep Tabata on the Type 0 universe since you teased a sequel and that's it

Here's your (You).

You guys are counting them out. They want this game to be the VII for this generation of gamers. Remember the magic when you first played VII? That's what they seek to replicate. They wouldn't shit on their own legacy by fucking this up.

because most of the good jap devs don't give a shit about PC

>no more AAA JRPGS

Honestly that's fine. They're thriving on handhelds and I don't really think the narratives or character designs of a JRPG translate very well to a high budget production

that is very common, it is to safe perfromance look up screenspace reflections they are very common noawdays

Nomura kuns are really retarded

>XV-kun desperately tries to ignore the thread so he won't needlessly bump it

lel

>They wouldn't shit on their own legacy by fucking this up.

Don't worry, XIII, its sequels and the corporate mismanagement of the series already shit on FF's legacy. It's buried in filth.

The most delicious part of all of this is that they had a huge event to reveal the release date and now they're just like 'h-haha just kidding'

Get dragged to hell SE

Is that why it has no female party members?
Is that why it looks like shit while also cutting down on the CGI cutscenes?
Is that why it only has one playable party member?
Is that why it has dlc already announced for it?
I can literally see the FF7 parallels

NeithOF still going huh? Still ignoring Stella's eyes looked blue in her fucking reveal? Still ignoring Nomura flat out stated they only meet for the first time at the party, therefore the little girl with kid Noctis in 2013 cannot be her?

>They wouldn't shit on their own legacy by fucking this up.
What is this, 2006? They've shat on their legacy for the past decade. If anything, their non-stop desire to emulate their former glory days shows how hard they've gone off-track. FFXV is like a clusterfuck of things SE thinks are popular right now and will sell the game.

>Remember the magic when you first played VII? That's what they seek to replicate.
VII was the first worldwide mainstream JRPG, most people got introduced to the genre due to this investment. The game isn't actually stellar on its own merit if you played JRPGs before.

XV has nothing interesting going for it, there are millions of mainstream pseudo-action games, or even proper action games out there in the know. Also, the internet exists and is used by normies.

Plus, Square-enix is less relevant than Squaresoft in the PS1 era comparatively speaking within the whole industry.

They will never be able to replicate VII's phenomenon even if they made a legitimately groundbreaking game, which XV is not by all accounts.

What does any of that have to do with anything?

I can't even tell what's wrong in this image but it hurts my head

Same here :3

Haters can go off themselves.

Here's your (You).

>Is that why it has no female party members?
I don't think every JRPG needs female party members. However the male party members look like fags. That's the problem.

>Is that why it looks like shit while also cutting down on the CGI cutscenes?
Cutting down on CGI is to be expected when modern production values can rival CGI while also keeping it graphically consistent with the gameplay.

>Is that why it only has one playable party member?
Major fuck-up. Barely plays like an RPG anymore. Seems like SE really wants to sell this to the retarded Witcher 3 audience or something.

>That's what they seek to replicate.

And they will fail at that. They won't even get it past the fucking finish line.

Why couldn't they just be sisters?
I don't have anything against Luna, her Kingsglaive model is horrifying but in-game she looks alright, not to mention a summoner is always cool to have
Still 2 sisters, one a monster summoner, one a weapon summoner sound cool as fuck

>no PC version in sight

I thought you were trying to list the cons faggot OPEE.

>They wouldn't shit on their own legacy by fucking this up.
Ruining the single truly good setting they came up with: Ivalice.

Turning FFT into FFTA by dumbing everything down.

The setting of X-2.

The almost entirety of XIII.

The mobile ports, and the new mobile "games".

Their 3 re-release tiers of VII within 2 years, adding a filter and cheat codes each new re-release

I think you're too late.

>I actively want to play games at 20 fps
>they are harder this way
How's that stockholm syndrome treating you?

The fact is that Japanese devs are actually passion towards their craft and their integrity shines through in their work.

>DMC series
>Tekken series
>Yakuza series
>Souls series
>FF series
>Suda51
>Shinji Mikami
>Hideo Kojima

I could go on and on. Unlike western devs the Japanese video games industry holds creative geniuses with a vision. Just look at Sean Murray/Peter Molyneux/Todd Howard and their blatant lies to understand what the western devs really care about in the end. Can't fucking wait for FF XV. It's going to be even better now that it's receiving some extra polishing and optimization.

>Ducase gameplay is never coming back
>We're now stuck with hold _ to attack and hold _ to block
>Apologists will forever scream about directional input even though it doesn't matter for shit

What the fuck is all this autism? So what if her eyes are a different color?

>>no PC version in sight when even low-budget devs can afford a PC port
NEVER EVER PKEK

Still better than 0 FPS amirite :^)

This. Western devs are fucking publisher whores anyways. Meanwhile someone like Itsuno has made genre-defnining games for decades now.

>Kojima used as a positive example
>Suda51, who's done fuckall in the last 5 years
>DMC's last game was literally a meme


top kek

The survey results showed that some people thought Duscae was too hard so the monkeys at SE completely revamped the gameplay so literal retards could hold circle and win the game.

>yfw FFXV is more of a disaster for SE than Lightning ever was

Design by committee/survey is such utter shit. Creatives are paid to know better than the plebs who pay.

>Kojima used as a positive example
Reminder that MGSV is the best open-world game of the past five years because KojiPro actually bothered to make the gameplay fun.

Gameplay. Do you know what that means, you fucking westerncuck?

There's no chance that they're going to fix that abortion of a combat system in 2 mos so it's still going to be shit. Carefully crafted shit that took 10 years of misdirection to produce.

Do FFXV-kun and anti-FFXV-kun even exist anymore? Are they not merely archetypes--boogeymen for us to look for under every bed and around every corner--and to become if we so desire?
