How can it be a blunder if it's already the best selling FF game.

So much content was missing that the had to delay it. As Tales of and Persona 5 are being bought/pre-ordered.

It got delayed.
Which is the story of its life.

No. It is being delayed so it won't have a 15 gb day one patch.
At least that is the excuse some SE suits are giving.

bollocks

NMS fags are too pissed right now

Haven't you been paying attention for the past 5 years?

It won't sell over 4 million. I bet it won't even sell over 3.

Post downgrades.

Tabata was a mistake.

VERSION

I-I-ttsstssss,,..a..

I don't even have to shitpost anymore.
The damage is done by square themselves.

Played it at gameacom and it sucked.

Proof?

>going from PS4 tier to PS2 tier to PS3 tier

>I don't even have to shitpost anymore
That's clearly not stopping you from posting screens with 3ds-tier compression, though.

>Squareenix in charge of Final Fantasy

Looks better than Witcher 3

Luminous Engine

Waste of money
Waste of time having to learn it
Looks like shit on consoles(which is was the original idea you PC fucks)

Square Penix stopped trying to push Lightning, if Cloud getting in Smash Bros is any indication.

DIFFERENT TIME OF TOWN

...

Why side by side?

Jack of all trades, master of none essentially. Everything in the game arguably by development effort and presentation is mediocre.

They spent way too much time trying to do everything which resulted in the fact that the essential parts of the game, frame rate and graphics, aren't acceptable enough and had they released September, it would've been barely playable + huge day 1 patch implied to be over 10 GB.

So they are pushing it to November which won't help but is as much time as they can get considering the business climate surrounding the game. Come November, I expect that the game will still have a day 1 patch, but it will at least probably have a more stable framerate and hopefully they will fix the pop in with better draw distance and such.

The game is still broken on a fundamental level and unless they are able to rewrite a huge portion of the engine code or optimize it in 2 months, it will stay broken.

And that only covers the facts that you can see. The story, gameplay and etc. which have opinions aren't getting a unanimous or clear majority thought about those aspects of the game. Basically, even though it shouldn't bear the title and people should stop branding games as such, it's the big budget JRPG everyone is pinning their hopes on for some reason to be good that hasn't really existed in a while which can become the next TORtanic. And there is certainly in my view more evidence that you can logically use to conclude negative things about the game rather than positive.

Old Cloud doesn't have a stomach.

Fun fact: FFXI has made more money than every other FF combined

he just has a really high anime waist

Is xv-kun kill?

I can barely read the controls in the newest version which should lead any sensible person to realize that the image isn't accurate to how it would look in person.
I'm not saying that the game didn't get a visual downgrade because it did, but this is some obvious shitposting.

>20 years later
>Xenogearsfags still bitching about Final Fantasy

The second half of Xenogears wasn't unplayable garbage because FFVIII stole its budget. Its unplayable garbage because the game is just badly designed.

who fucking cares the middle one is just as compressed

Have you remembered to thank Unreal Engine 4 for saving Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy VII Remake?

This is an Unreal Engine 4 game running at 1080p 60fps while pic related is FF15fps

You spelled "Nomura" wrong.

...

It downgraded to the point of resembling a PS2 game, yet they still had to delay it because of performance problems.

he's pretty clearly outside of the level bounds here so im not sure what you're trying to prove

what did they mean by this?

Major Japanese studios like Square Enix are extremely bad at project management and throw good money after bad in a vain attempt to recoup losses. Usually, in Square's case, from overspending on art assets that are way out of the realm of what the hardware they're launching on can meaningfully handle.

That turned Fabula Nova Crystalis, which first went into pre-pro in 2003, into something that won't be complete until Type-0 Online's global release.

...

Fucking hell

it is like every game is called Blunder of the Year this year

make up your fucking mind

Final Fantasy has been dead to me for many years now. While I had shred of initial interest in XV when it was first announced I never really had any hopes or expectations and I'm not remotely surprised that the project is in its current state. I expect this game to be a failure as is typical of Square-Enix these days.

I'm praying Square brings some old bosses back

>pic related
hype

>It won't sell over 4 million. I bet it won't even sell over 3.
The delusion is real

Well all people have a different most liked genre of game. I'd argue as far as JRPGs go, and perhaps RPGs in general, this is blunder of the year.

It'd be a little silly to pit FFXV up against something like No Man's Sky (another blunder contender) when they're not even really the same genre of game.

>every picture has different graphics, some is amazing and some is shit
what does it mean though

They probably tried to make an actual final fantasy game

halfway through the traditional RPG combat system got scrapped and replaced with kingdom hearts

the game was prepared to be a phased out battle but it now has to be action game that is going to fail hard

Thats probably why there are so many corridors, the engine is prepared for making RPGs not action RPGs

They are dead on on ruining what made the series good in hopes to pander to call of duty fags

so TLDR squereenix exect being greedy and out of touch

>gas gauge
Gas stations better be common or I'm gonna be mad

Why does she smell like cum?

Are you retarded? Versus XIII had action combat right from the start.

Phased out action combat like Crisis core or just like an action game? Kingdom hearts wasn't an action game either, everything was contained in arenas

Same event Different Graphic

B-but Neo version will look as intended, r-right?

Tabata was a mistake. The man loves to promise big and lacks the spine tovtell fans that some things aren't included so they just put everything in. They didn't even have plans for the car to fly until Tabata got nervous about it reading 2ch.

>Kingdom hearts wasn't an action game either, everything was contained in arenas
What? No they weren't. There were set spawn areas for Heartless but you were never limited to an "arena," only the confines of the current area/room.

Regardless, the combat is real-time action, which qualifies it as an action-RPG.

Is that from KG?

Fucking lol, they literally cut the invasion from the game and put all their hype ass stuff into a boring movie that you can't even play. Bravo Tabata.

>we want the GoT BB weed lmao audience!

Shill of the century. The worst part is the actual game looks like dogshit but people will buy it anyway because of casualbait shit like this.

well it was an mmo

>" only the confines of the current area/room.
Thats what i said

>Regardless, the combat is real-time action, which qualifies it as an action-RPG.
yes but the engine is clearly made for traditional JRPGs

He's trying to please and draw in everyone he can with his vision of the game and catering to everyone except the people who followed the game from its announcement. Lowest common denominator games will always be crap.

>yes but the engine is clearly made for traditional JRPGs
and it still wasn't a traditional jrpg

You're pathetic.

>halfway through the traditional RPG combat system got scrapped and replaced with kingdom hearts
no it was always planned to be an ARPG, to contrast XIII still being somewhat turn based

>Thats what i said
Sorry, I assumed you meant an "arena" like how Crisis Core erects invisible walls when you hit an encounter. KH has no such limitation and you can use the entire map seamlessly.

The maps themselves being a hardware limitation more than anything, seeing as 0.2 and KHIII don't appear to have the same system.

>but the engine is clearly made for traditional JRPGs
Except literally the only thing traditional about it is the menu, and even that isn't consistent between games.

It saved FF.

...

7r and kh3 both look worse than XV

Movie would've been an idea he came up with while still co-directing with Tabata.

>dirt on face
>suit is mint
u wot

Well his poor direction and lack of vision has fucked the game entirely. All the positive buzz that Versus created, he slowly managed to squander by turning it into a generic western open-world with fujoshi designs. It's almost admirable just how much Tabata was given to work with only to throw most of it away so he could have his 10m sales pandering to retards.

Well even that is failing.

lol get fucked

It's been a fucking terrible year.

It's the Diamond Weapon from 7, it made an appearance in Kingsglaive.

diamond weapon was never going to be in the original invasion idiot. they expanded the invasion destruction in the movie

Performance is still terrible while being downgraded to hell. This is indefensible.

The most sad thing is that it'll sell millions and people will praise it just like MGSV which had similair problems. Well, except technical since MGSV looks and runs great.

his suit is dirty too

they do

>All the positive buzz that Versus created
literally no one cares about versus besides closet weebs

>story looks shit
>graphics are subpar
>combat is a mess
>movie was awful even for a video game movie
>marketing is in shambles
FF is dead

MGSV was still the best open-world game in the past five years though. It was actually fun to play. This won't be even that.

you can't make this up

Maybe now they'll remaster FFT for consoles and steam.

yeah almost like they had a massive day one patch theyre making to fix performance and visuals, hence the delay

>they do

They don't because they don't exist yet.

This looks worse than MGSV while running at half the frame rate and having a dynamic resolution.

...

The movie isn't even good either. Every recent fan review I've seen calls it mediocre at best.

>awkward long af dialogue
>shit pacing
>much character drama with random numerous characters that you're never made to give a shit about
>models besides main characters look like crap
>Luna moves like a rigid video game model sometimes
>completely retarded scenes like Luna and Nyx finding a tracking device and instead of throwing it out they stare at it and share stories until they are found and attacked again

but ofcourse people want to see it because Boromir and Cersei. Top tier shilling if i do say so myself.

Funny because the only reason they stuck to Versus designs for XV was because of the massive hype it had generated. SE wanted to ride on that so they inserted the Versus character designs into their own game. Otherwise it's not Versus. It only gives a visual impression it might be since SE realized it would be a waste letting the buzz go to waste.

>daytime
>nighttime with mood lights shining

nope, still better than w3 on ps4, nope, nope, nope

No it doesn't.

The anime and movie didn't need to exist.

Anime didn't really have any monetary incentive behind it and was probably outsourced entirely with some scripts but all that content should have been in the game.

Same with Kingsglaive. The whole invasion should not have been rewritten and the amount of resources that they actually put in that movie could've been better used on the game. Fighting your way out of the city with your gang in a car is better than starting fighting Ifrit 10 years in the future in a scripted event and then going through another scripted event that has you pushing your car with your gang.

Man, how can you people not know how game design works. The most they can do in two months is fix bugs. Anything else they try to implement into the game would have to go through more bug checks which they don't have the time for.

>Every recent fan review I've seen calls it mediocre at best

Source?

Every review site calls it good.

Lol no. Open world is absolutely pointless in MGSV. It's fucking dead, nothing ever happens there, you can't even encounter a single mujahideen nor civilians in a fucking Afganistan. And I'm not even talking how it ruins whole level design since you can just sprint out of the base any time and be safe.
>It was actually fun to play
Game mechanics were great but actual game was boring and repetetive. Nothing fun ever happens.

You haven't even seen it Nomura-kun. None of the things you said are even true.

They decided to allocate more budget to Final Fantasy World

no it was because they repurposed versus to XV.

95% of people who play it won't even know what versus was

Versus had a dedicated following since 2006. Most realize that XV isn't Versus anymore though, so they either moved on or are rightfully mad about the pile of dogshit it turned into so they stick around sometimes.

Still the best open-world game in the past five years. No other open-world is as fun to play.

Another failure I blame on Tabata. Who the fuck even asked for a movie tie-in? Should've used the resources for CGI scenes for the game instead.

>MGSV was still the best open-world game in the past five years

god fucking no
