Sup Forums SHITPOSTERS WERE FUCKING WRONG AGAIN HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>Tabata-san clarified that not only Final Fantasy XV already has already broken even with its development costs, but it did so on day one, which means when it launched on November 29th.
>development costs so i guess he isnt counting with the advertisising and the shitty movie and the shitty anime it flopped hard
Benjamin Torres
>Dualshockers >Sonygger haven website >Gave FFXV GOTY >Totally not paid off at all Keep trying, asshummers. You're only gonna get the wide end of the blunt honeycomb if you keep gag-cocking like turnipfuckers XD
Brandon Bailey
You can't lose money if you don't say you spent it.
Nathan Turner
you missed the "day one" part
Samuel Young
IT'S NOT FAIR!
FFXV WAS SUPPOSED TO KILL THE FRANCHISE
BRAVELY DEFAULT WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE FINAL FANTASY
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO ENTER A NEW GOLDEN AGE OF TRADITIONAL JRPG FREE FROM WESTERN INFLUENCE
HOW DID WE LOSE, BROS?
Isaac Morris
It's over. Tabata won.
Sup Forums will never, ever recover.
Isaac Cooper
Can't you stay in the other thread xv-kun? I don't even hate XV, but you don't need to make a new thread for every news and make it less obvious next time
Nolan Morgan
We've hated popular games many times, and we've become exceedingly efficient at it.
Leo Ward
dick
Blake Flores
Why wouldn't he say that earlier, seems like good PR
Jackson Collins
>Square Enix announced almost immediately that the day one shipments, including digital downloads, were over five million copies, marking the fastest selling Final Fantasy game ever at its debut. This means that those five million copies were enough to recoup the development and marketing costs, even if we don’t know by how much. shipped the amount of games that they needed to sell to break even on day 1
Joshua Martinez
Hahahahahah >Sup Forums btfo once again
Nolan Cruz
to the point where its actually an industry trusted predictive model
>release info about a game >Sup Forums blows up about the info >they hate it >GREAT its a good idea
wash rinse repeate
Nicholas Bennett
You care way too much about random people on the internet
Ryan Harris
>assblasted
Jace Ross
We fucking did it lads.
Jackson Gonzalez
...
Colton Hill
Haven't played a Final Fantasy since XIII let me down. Is this game fun?
Jacob Brooks
BASED TABATA SAVED FINAL FANTASY
Sebastian Hill
Yes, but don't expect a masterpiece.
It's a great 60 hours time sinker.
Michael Gomez
Yes. I put 150 hours into it before doing everything there is to do in the game, that includes the Chocobo and Moogle Carnival, and all the sidequests/hunts. It's not heavy on plot, but I grew to really like the characters, and I went into XV expecting to hate it.
Zachary Hall
So does that mean a Final Fantasy XVI is in the works?
William Wood
Yes but it is flawed.
Nathan Butler
>hold circle to win >impossible to die >worse combat than ass creed >worse writing than korean MMOs >HAHAH BUT PEOPLE BOUGHT THIS POORLY DEVELOPED AND MASSIVELY OVERRATED GAME, HATERS BTFO
Ok
Blake Murphy
No, it's shit. Save for Persona 5 instead.
Nathaniel Roberts
Chill out user, I'm sure that Horizon game will be a flop!
Jayden Ross
Its a bunch of fetch quests and gameplay worse than Shadow of Mordor/BamHam/AC
David Sanchez
Will more sales make it a better game or make it more complete?
Chase Thompson
>"The game will be canned in the reviews!" Game was recieved positive press >"The OG cast of FF hate it!" Sakaguchi loved it >"The Game will flop!" It doesn't.
>Sup Forums's face when
Christopher Long
No
Adam Robinson
No but it will prove to Squeenix that their userbase will buy whatever they turn out no matter how bad it is.
Colton Diaz
>broke even on game development costs >development
Guess Ghostbusters 2016 wasn't a flop then. After all, it made slightly more than it cost to DEVELOP! Let's forget the anime, the film, the clothing and replica car and heavy advertisement.
Then again, shilling noodles probably got them money as well.
Logan Ramirez
I thought it was crap, but I don't care either way. I might give it another go once its gets its super deluxe galactic edition with 300 DLCes added in, but the base game was meh.
Brody Howard
Will I be able to play FFXV on pc with that xbox play anywhere thing?
Julian Hill
Obvious they wouldn't bother with DLC patching the game if it were a flop. Seems like they made enough to warrant continuous updates. But sure Sup Forums, keep thinking that SE will crash and burn like EA did.
Levi Martin
Pretty sure those free patch were meant to give this game some sort of positive vibe and relevancy, paving the way for the upcoming paid DLC.
Nicholas Bailey
Since it's obvious that the mods aren't going to do anything about you shitposting retards, could you at least have the courtesy to post some pics of Gladio fucking Ignis or something in between your autistic screeching back and forth?
Carson Evans
I have to agree with Sup Forums for ffxv Usually hate popular games Bur this game is really underwhelming
And its very VERY overrated
Asher Clark
nigga that's gay
Henry Jackson
>implying CIS-Busters wasn't about securing the license.
Nicholas Green
why is that cutscene not in the game?
Isaac Morgan
They also recently removed old ghostbusters from steam.
Asher Evans
B-But Sup Forums told me that this game flopped so hard that Tabata and Nomura had to turn tricks on the streets of Shibuya to break even!
Daniel Rivera
Say it with me: BLOWN. THE. FUCK. OUT!
Ryan Hernandez
Can't be any gayer than niggas making bait threads over and over again to gain the attention of another anonymous man.
Now fucking post 'em.
Brody Hill
Oh good a FFXV thread. Any of you have the webm of the guy landing on a bunch of rocks near Pitioss?
Hudson Cooper
Give us the amount of unit sold SE, that's what actually matter.
Not
>fastest digital sales >shipped unit >positive review >old snort comment >it broke the development* cost
*exclude marketing, when it was known as Versus, engine development cost, distribution cost *exclude side project *limited to a game called Final Fantasy XV
Dominic Smith
all you need to know it broke even day 1
that's it shitposter
Luke Thomas
They did in a way, when they shipped 5 million copies to retail plus digital sales. Very few games wouldn't be profitable doing that.
Christian Richardson
All I want to know is a precise number, not vague statement.
James Bailey
when will they fix it though
i just hear nothing about problems they promised to fix so i'm holding out until they release everything and then re-issue a "goty" version of the game or something with all the dlc and shit
Aaron Williams
too bad they forgot to include decent gameplay but as of late it seems like pointless feature
Jaxson Jackson
all thanks to cup noodles
Jacob Brooks
Apparently they include marketing in that number too.
Sebastian Morales
it's still a shit game though, why do you care how much money it made? do you have shares in squenix or something? are you a marketer? fuck off
Wyatt Richardson
>cup noodle,Coleman and American Express advertisements
Lincoln Ward
This is the perfect way to describe it.
Anthony Walker
It's a good game
Camden Richardson
>Guy who made the game says it made money >Random person on Sup Forums says it didn't Hmm. I wonder which one is right?
No it isn't >One of the worst and underdeveloped casts in FF history >Can only control the protagonist and not other party members outside of dlc side story missions >Shitty half baked plot >Clunky gameplay >Can't even control the fucking car and go wherever you want in a supposed open world game >Open world is mostly barren outside of main story areas and some dungeons >Battle themes are KH tier hackjobs The game was fucking awful, they would've been better off making XIII Versus and having two sets of parties but even then it doesn't save from the souless gameplay. Like fuck just bring back turn based because it's clear at this point that action RPG doesn't work outside of KH.
Ryan Price
Square are notorious liars, this game flopping would be a massive disgrace for the company.
They would buy large numbers of copies themselves before they let it under-perform.
Keep in mind that money was on no consequence for this game, they made a full cgi movie that made 1-2 million at the box office just to try advertise the shit.
Angel Clark
Nice pasta full of lies
Jose Taylor
why are you so triggered Anti XV-kun? your autism is splurging in this thread. Piss off
Alexander Reed
5 million x $60 a pop = $300 million
This fucking game cost more than the GDP of some countries.
Joshua King
>"honest Sup Forums"
Cameron Lee
>Doesn't even rebuttal Yeah suck a dick you dumb shills
Daniel Martin
>dualshockers
Sebastian Long
>guy says it needs to sell 10 million >oh wait I meant that was a personal goal >guy has an entire event saying the game comes out in sept >oh wait it's delayed >guy says they're keeping the previous directors vision >oh wait he scrapped almost all of it to start again >guy says 60fps might come in dec >oh wait that's delayed too I'd trust user on this one
Jackson Barnes
They are liars just trying to protect face and stock value. They're like, if Trump can do it, so can we. 2017 will be the year of lies.
Cameron Reed
Ok, so people purchased an overhyped game, makes sense. Still doesnt make it a good game.
Jacob Allen
It's "anti-kun" not "anti xv-kun" Learn the lore. And that's not him anyway
Charles Morgan
This, Tabata is a fucking liar. source the actual sales number
Jason Butler
>awful game makes a profit Bad ending
Colton Parker
>anti-kun gets triggered and shits up another Xv thread Bad ending
Adam Anderson
>dualshockers >one of the most amoral shill sites >ever believeing what they say
Isaiah Scott
>xv thread This thread was basicly made for shitposting
Connor James
>tabata >"hey guys our game will release on time no delays!" >"hey guys there will be no big day one patches" >"hey guys we know you like 60 fps so there will be a patch for this in december"
i donw what kind of brain dead faggot you would have to be to actualy believe anything tabata says.
Nathaniel Powell
How else did he make bank? People still fell for it and continue to. Only a fool would believe SE wouldn't get sales.
Dominic Ross
I've beaten both and honest xv is a better game
Carter Ortiz
>First half and post game are fun as hell (second half is forgivable) >Finding new recipehs >Doing hunts and side quests, stacking hella Gil >Messing around with magic crafting & ascension >Crawling through dungeons >Flying the Regalia >Riding Chocobos
Why didn't anyone tell me this game was gonna be this fun?
Ryan Robinson
>the anime
Six eleven minute episodes don't cost much.
>the film
Sponsored by Audi.
>the clothing
Sponsored by whoever made them.
>replica car
Again, sponsored by Audi.
Sebastian Wood
tfw won't be able to finish the game till March
Kevin Hall
>flying the regalia NIGGA OH NO~
Carson King
>games like this and Fallout 4 sell like hotcakes
why do I stay in this shitty hobby
Jordan Campbell
>shit AAA game makes money wow, just like any other day media in general has gone to absolute shit.
It's time to go outside.
Brody Phillips
Bill Hicks was right about marketing and advertising.
Brody Sanders
Also
>New voice lines not found in the main game
Nolan Ortiz
>hella
Jordan Gutierrez
Fallout 4 is shit, dunno how you don't like FFXV.
Charles Walker
>thinking it cost much to develop they didn't even start production till 2012, and even after having scrapped 80% of content they released the game half finished. The movie's revenue alone probably covered for the development costs.
Thomas Allen
They're both shallow timesinks.
Thomas Walker
HOLY SHIT A FF GAME SOLD WELL HOLY SHIT GUYS THIS IS A FUCKING MIRACLE
