Congratulations on FF16 being a huge success

Sounds like you need a hug



Venat is here for you.

Okay? I don't understand the point of this post.

Just because you cried didn't mean it was good.

I also cried... at how painstakingly average the expansion is. I seriously wonder what other media do the people that praise the story consume. Is their only exposure to other media a childrens colouring book? Or if they only play visual novels so they have no clue what good gamplay actually looks like.

I'm just happy they didn't make another FFXV. If they have to take money from this game to make sure that game doesn't happen again, I'm for it.

There was no sense of urgency or danger, it's just like every member of the group said "here's my chance to make a big heroic speech about hope to these beings who aren't even real and then wait to get brought back from time out".

Oh, for sure. It felt incredibly scripted, predictable, and uninspiring. I was laughing during most of these cutscenes because they were so silly.

I honestly hope we get rid of Azem's crystal, it's such a deus ex machina tool.

Speaking of deus ex machinas, I'm glad dynamis hasn't really resurfaced since 6.0.

There's no point of his post other than to troll you. You didn't like the MSQ which upsets them so they try to upset you in return, lol.

Very good to hear FF16 is a great success. I will look forward to playing it during the weekend.
As long as FF16 has strong sales and is widely praised, more chance FF14 will also have a better future.

Lol I'm sorry what ? If anything it'll prove that they should just use the money they get from FFXIV and put it into future projects that are not tied to FF14 at all because it works and its a success, it wont make them go "oh wow now we got so much money let's just put it all on FFXIV !"

I for one want ff16 to do average/bad not entirely flop but give them the idea it might not be a good idea to bleed one product for another when the product they are bleeding from survives on longevity in its content (i.e it's an mmo).

I recommend not buying 16 or waiting to do so when it goes on sale to oppose the corpo that is Square. That is all we really can do as consumers.

This might be hard to hear as this is an mmo forum, but a lot of people dont like MMOS.

15 is not a game i like, but its a comercial success.

16 has a lot of what makes 14 good to casual players, plus stealign ppl from dmc/kh/and platinum to make it a better feeling action game than whatever 15 was.

16 is going to also be a comercial success if rather widespread enjoyment of the demo is to be understood.

if all the people that put heavy time into 14 (and not casual only for story) players just did not buy 16, it would probably not even that much of a dent to matter, the audiance base is not 1:1

it barely matters now since a greater half of 14s audiance cant play 16 till over a year out cause sony times exclusive anyways

This checks out for me anyway, since I don't own a PS5. And I assume SE will also strike a deal with Epic for a timed exclusive for the EGS, so I'm looking for a purchase in 3 - 4 years for myself.
