Congratulations on FF16 being a huge success

I have watched the demo on stream and the graphics look like PS3 graphics, so idk what is so "amazing" about it ?

Story is okay sure but I dont see it as absolute excellence, especially considering the graphics and they do matter for a lot of people.

PS3 lol. PS4 maybe, but I do agree with the overall sentiment. It looks okay, but games like Demon's Souls, Ghost of Tsushima, even FFVIIR look much better, and perform much better. I'm not sure why they're struggling so much with performance when it doesn't look like next gen at all.

I'm sorry, but I'm really worried for you and those around you. This delusional and hallucinatory state you have to be in saying FF16 has PS3 quality graphics is truly worrying. And ugh, the fact you're in such denial about your issues.. I'll pray to Hydaelyn for you.

It’s obviously hyperbole. I often disagree with stormpeaks. Sometimes we even have a go at each other. But cmon, you’re definitely stretching here. Calm yourself

Thank you lol, I thought it was very much self explanatory that it was exaggerated for the sake of making a point that it wasnt like "extremely innovative and amazing looking", but obviously it went over their head

I was obviously exaggerating really to make a point that it wasnt that "amazing innovation" graphic wise, it's meh, but yeah I dont know what they are doing with performances tbh, they are trying to put glitter on everything and in the end it just looks "meh" or just has terrible performances (or both)

I am not sure really, but it was a game that had absolutely crazy minimum requirements and the game looked absolutely terrible lol

I'm not super into how games work on a hardware/software level, so my knowledge here is severely limited, but would poor optimization be a cause here?

I'm not extra into it either to be entirely honest, but yeah what you said is pretty much right, it's about poor optimization (I think), people are free to correct me if they know though as I said I dont know much about it

While Type-0 and maybe FF7 remake had some, I was more referring to seeing peoples' throats cut, heads banged in and cut off, and blood spurting after getting crushed by a rock as being things that I wasn't aware was ever actually shown (not implied or guessed at) in a Final Fantasy game.

Excessive gore and foul language diminishes the "dark theme" in story telling and just makes it look more edgy rather than dark.

Older FF games has already touched on dark subjects like chemical warfare, genocide, human experimentation, fates worse than death, child/teen student soldiers, the tragedies of war etc.

I wouldn't really call it excessive, the reality is people using foul language in stressful situations isn't uncommon nor infrequent and I think the entertainment industry has almost sanitized what combat looks like, I'm reminded of when Saving Private Ryan came out and people being shocked at how gorey the Omaha beach scene was.

Spoiler for the demo

The initial stream of F bombs when you're dodging rocks in the first scene? Yeah, I've said that out loud playing a game before when trying to dodge things. I grew up on an Army base and I have a filthy mouth. It felt very realistic to me.

people really don't know how much cursing is in the serviceman's vocabulary

the term "you swear like a sailor" wouldn't be a thing if that wasn't the case.

I'm confused as to why people are unhappy with the game? Endwalker was incredible, made me cry so hard to see the finale, why do I see people complaining that the game is "hollow" etc.?
