FFXV MADE MONEY DAY ONE

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.

FFXV haters are now on suicide watch

Kill yourself weeb.

How can FFXV haters ever recover?

>development costs
so i guess he isnt counting with the advertisising and the shitty movie and the shitty anime
it flopped hard

>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

You can't lose money if you don't say you spent it.

you missed the "day one" part

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?

It's over. Tabata won.

Sup Forums will never, ever recover.

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

We've hated popular games many times, and we've become exceedingly efficient at it.

dick

Why wouldn't he say that earlier, seems like good PR

>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

Hahahahahah
>Sup Forums btfo once again

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

You care way too much about random people on the internet

>assblasted

We fucking did it lads.

...

Haven't played a Final Fantasy since XIII let me down. Is this game fun?

BASED TABATA SAVED FINAL FANTASY

Yes, but don't expect a masterpiece.

It's a great 60 hours time sinker.

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.

So does that mean a Final Fantasy XVI is in the works?

Yes but it is flawed.

>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

No, it's shit. Save for Persona 5 instead.

Chill out user, I'm sure that Horizon game will be a flop!

Its a bunch of fetch quests and gameplay worse than Shadow of Mordor/BamHam/AC

Will more sales make it a better game or make it more complete?

>"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

No

No but it will prove to Squeenix that their userbase will buy whatever they turn out no matter how bad it is.

>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.

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.

Will I be able to play FFXV on pc with that xbox play anywhere thing?

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.

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.

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?

I have to agree with Sup Forums for ffxv
Usually hate popular games
Bur this game is really underwhelming

And its very VERY overrated

nigga that's gay

>implying CIS-Busters wasn't about securing the license.

why is that cutscene not in the game?

They also recently removed old ghostbusters from steam.

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!

Say it with me: BLOWN. THE. FUCK. OUT!

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.

Oh good a FFXV thread. Any of you have the webm of the guy landing on a bunch of rocks near Pitioss?

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

all you need to know it broke even day 1

that's it shitposter

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.

All I want to know is a precise number, not vague statement.

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

too bad they forgot to include decent gameplay
but as of late it seems like pointless feature

all thanks to cup noodles

Apparently they include marketing in that number too.

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

>cup noodle,Coleman and American Express advertisements

This is the perfect way to describe it.

It's a good game

>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?

>trusting corporate establishment
>not trusting honest Sup Forums posters

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.

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.

Nice pasta full of lies

why are you so triggered Anti XV-kun? your autism is splurging in this thread. Piss off

5 million x $60 a pop = $300 million

This fucking game cost more than the GDP of some countries.

>"honest Sup Forums"

>Doesn't even rebuttal
Yeah suck a dick you dumb shills

>dualshockers

>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

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.

Ok, so people purchased an overhyped game, makes sense. Still doesnt make it a good game.

It's "anti-kun" not "anti xv-kun" Learn the lore. And that's not him anyway

This, Tabata is a fucking liar. source the actual sales number

>awful game makes a profit
Bad ending

>anti-kun gets triggered and shits up another Xv thread
Bad ending

>dualshockers
>one of the most amoral shill sites
>ever believeing what they say

>xv thread
This thread was basicly made for shitposting

>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.

How else did he make bank?
People still fell for it and continue to.
Only a fool would believe SE wouldn't get sales.

I've beaten both and honest xv is a better game

>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?

>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.

tfw won't be able to finish the game till March

>flying the regalia
NIGGA OH NO~

>games like this and Fallout 4 sell like hotcakes

why do I stay in this shitty hobby

>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.

Bill Hicks was right about marketing and advertising.

Also

>New voice lines not found in the main game

>hella

Fallout 4 is shit, dunno how you don't like FFXV.

>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.

They're both shallow timesinks.

HOLY SHIT A FF GAME SOLD WELL HOLY SHIT GUYS THIS IS A FUCKING MIRACLE

What did he say about it?

FF game sells on name alone.

Like every game
