People are saving their money for Purse Owner 5

Took 90% too long to come out.

FF was in a garbage state in terms of quality last gen and the japanese don't care about home consoles anymore

- They announced that DLC will be released that won't be in the season pass, weeks before the game was even released

- Expect people to watch a movie and an anime series to get a slight idea of what is going on

- Iris isn't a permanent party member

Source? I have a hard time believing 15 did worse than 13 and the spin offs

Didn't live up to the hype. People found out.

When is the REAL final fantasy coming out?? they've been making more games for years but the final game is never the final

Everyone who was intrested have bought it already. It's still number 1 on the Amazon gaming chart though so still doing well.

Owie

Game looks mediocre desu, so I'm looking for a big sale to buy it with at least 50% discount.

>japan
>mattering
>pick one
5 million copies were sold and it's time for you to move on anti kun.

OP forgot to mention
>IN JAPAN

[citation neeed]

>fastest shipping Final Fantasy
makes ya think

It's the Japs who barely play real games anymore so who gives a fuck other than the bean counters at Square-Enix?

and they need to move 5 million more to break even

> shipped != sold

Look at how dysfunctional their management is. They have directors fighting each other and stealing contracts from one another. We'll never see a good Final Fantasy.

Did 5 million really sell? or did the Ship 5 million?

Ship. FF15 has worst first week sales since ff5.

Shipped, you're going to see a mass of bargain bin prices soon.

They might of even been sold on a sale or return policy

I would rather Square make more remakes than ever try their hand at a new FF universe.

That was just a personal goal my shitposting friend
50% of all console sales are digital these days and most retailers won't buy millions of merchandise unless it's already been paid for.

I like XV. Fight me.

everyone who wanted the game already bought it.

Why fight a man with no taste

>50% of all console sales are digital these days
You got a source for that

They could make new games, but set on existing universe.

Come on, Squeenix, Ivalice has so much potential.

I'll give you his source because I won't give a shitposter (yous). It was a study conducted in 2014 by a company called Ipsos MediaCT paid for by the ESA, done on 4000 American homes. It also had such conclusions as "Average gamer age is now 35 and 44% of gamers are women". Take that as you will.

>In 2015, 44 percent of all computer and video games were sold in physical form.
>computer

Squarenix can't do anything right anymore. You want them to fuck up Ivalice as well now?

This might surprise you but a console is built with computer parts.

the purse owner fanbase don't have jobs
nice!

Ivalice already got fucked up with FFXII

What's the difference between a computer game and a video game then? They're obviously trying to make the distinction here.

>it's a bait thread
Betty white chokes on dicks.

FF1-10 = JRPG
FF11-15 = MMORPG, ARPG, ARPG, MMORPG, ARPG.

why can't we just have our JRPG series back?

They never mention computer games just computers.

trolling was uncalled for

White boy who can't fight confirmed.

The only Final Fantasy game I've ever played was Ehergeiz and it was shit

Poor bait. Apply yourself.

Are you illiterate?

hurr look at me, i like mobile action combat and ruining a game series

That's not a FF game

They fucked the game up, but it was still good enough.
In FFXII they drove the director and a huge part of the team insane with their stupid corporate demands. They changed the main character 3 times to suit their stupid ideas.
And the game was still quite good.
Even they fuck up, I want them to make more games on that setting.

>IN JAPAN
we don't play garbage game

JAPAN ALWAY HAVE GOOD TASTE

best girl

Do you really want to go back?

funny thing is that they put all their money and resources into the first final fantasy because it was the company's last chance and named it such

they'd no idea it would spawn one of the most successful franchises

Yes, absolutely 100%

There hasn't been a good FF release in over 15 years, why wouldn't I want to go back?

I want to see her broken.

You just have shit taste famalam

what's wrong with your face

>he can't stop

trolling is a proven addiction

Maybe after 20 things will go back, FF died for me after XIII-2.

This. Every Final Fantasy after VIII is just Squall's consciousness retreating further into delusion after Edea kills him.

...

13 was dogshit

It already £25 used on Amazon. I think I'll wait for it to hit £15 though.

That's pretty typical for the series in recent times. Lifetimes sales aren't that much higher than first week.

Yes, yes it was.

The real one will be the last one you play before you die.

Final Fantasy sales are getting worse and Dragon Quest sales are getting stronger.

It's time.

"Hey, you know this game series that's been really successful, and has had it's best release to date with X perfecting the formula for this latest generation? Yeah, let's just go ahead and change the genre, keep the name the same, and keep releasing games as if nothing happened."

Wow a boyband fujoshit game with a bloated budget didn't sell too well? Especially after the people lost all faith for Final Fantasy after XIII? Color me fucking surprised lad.

Why do you think the game is already 50% off on psn next week?

Superior animation by Tabatas animation team. Good thing he replaced all the competent Nomura guys.

that's pretty clever

Thank god, I've been waiting to play this.

For DQ to become as shit as FF has?

nice one, mate :)

>13
>arpg

It's literally atb

Why is this only brought up for games for which Sup Forums is rooting to fail? How does this number compare to other games released?

Call me a shill, damage control, whatever. I just want to know why people on this board choose to cherry-pick information and spout memes when others disagree.

But, you move around, only control one character, and it's homosexual as fuck.

You don't move around in 13

Are you from the future?

This could've all been avoided if Iris was the main girl and not some shit girl like Luna

She actually did.
Woman was famed for being a BRILLIANT piece of ass back in her day.
It's how she was able to become one of the few directors and truly powerful women in hollywood.
Her headgame and pussy was unbelievable. But so was her intelligence and shrewdness.

shipped = venues actually buying them to stock so they are technically sales

are we really pretending like this isn't the fat weeb autist version equivalent of twitter? all people do here is talk shit and make memes.

Not sure why you're asking for some sort of rational thought into a shit post thread.

No one believes in Squeenix anymore, and almost all of the fanbase was lost when 13 destroyed the franchise.

Let's expand on this idea a bit shall we? Replace the boyband with cute girls only and this game would sell like hotcakes.

11 destroyed the franchise, retard.

All of the incompetent managers and directors at SE should've been fired years ago. But it's a Japanese company so instead of fresh blood it will be a decaying carcass for some time before they get bought and the organization is gutted for its IPs to make F2P Gacha games for underage gambling addicts.

Fun MMO that still produces money for SE to this day?

Honestly I don't even know if its one or the other. I stopped caring after 10, but I witnessed 13 at a friends house, and it was so fucking terrible that we burned the disc at a fireplace in the park next to my apartment.

Remember FF x-2?
Remember FF 13 and FF 13-2? Both of which starred and had cute girls as leads or major members of the party?

Yeah, no.

It's great on it's own, it could even retain the Final Fantasy part and be fine.

The fact they destroyed the namesake of their main series franchise game by changing the genre to an MMORPG for the release of their 11th title in the series is very distasteful and all true fans have jumped ship. X marks the true Final Fantasy.

Yes, FF15 is the last christmas deal sale. EU only.

Noctics shouldve given her his seed so the good guys wouldve actually won in the end

FF15 is a complete failure.
FF15 sold less than half of FF13's week one sales.
FF15 sold less than half of FF13's week two sales.
Square Enix shipped less copies because they knew FF fans disliked FF15 and wouldn't buy it


Feels good that this turd bombed

Thanks for standing strong. Eventually we will either see this series brought back to former glory, or let it die while it fails to succeed.

Based Japan.

Not till after they rape FF7 into the ground. "Episode 2" will sell less than one and so on.

The ps4 and xb1 are in almost no homes compared to the ps360 and FF13 and FF14 wounded the brand badly.
Let's not mention the unbelievably fujo nature of the group and the complete departure from the type of gameplay that people expect from FF.

It was basically impossible for FF15 to do as well as FF13. This was a forgone conclusion.
I'm just shocked that people actually think this fuck up had a chance.
