FFXIV did not win any awards at the 2023 Video Game Awards

Hahaha, looks like some of your loyal fans found you on the forums.

The Lala Wall is relentless. If they're not all destroyed it will be civil war without end.




Go forth to victory.

Considering the enormity of BG3 it's not a surprise at all that it won.

Citizens, we got two nominations: Best Community Support and Best Ongoing Game, but we won neither of them. Best Community Support went to BG3 and Best Ongoing Game went to Cyberpunk 2077. Congrats to both of them. Maybe next year.




The dark times will pass.

But BG3 should have honestly won the best game for 2023. It's frankly quite good, and I cannot STAND turn based games, and I've never played DnD. However, BG3 was/is a great, great game to play.

BG3 is boring drivel. I played it for 20 miserable hours then quit as a result of said boredom. The combat is glacial and terribly boring. It didn't win any awards as far as I am concerned. I don't care about the awards media outlets with "gamers" that don't play games conclude.

Agreed, citizen. I've had a great time with BG3 and I think every award it won was well deserved.




We serve so others do not have to.

The same could be said about this game recently as well. I commented about it in another thread, but there is no denying that this game has slipped since Yoshi-P began working on FF16. It hit its low, and (I believe) is climbing back up, but it took an expansion's time to do so. It could have and should have come sooner with the QoL improvements they have been talking about at the Fanfest events. I look forward to this game continuing to improve, but in summary the point I was making with BG3 was: It was deserving of them to win, while this game was not (at least this go around).

FFXVI began development in 2015.
FFXIV Shadowbringers began in 2017 and released in 2019.

As we all know, Shadowbringers is the lowest low that this game has ever experienced. I'm so glad this game can move on from that horrible expansion.

Uh, no? Shadowbringers is literally regarded as one of the best expansions ever released, with Emet-Selch regarded as one of the best characters ever made and its story frequently hyped as a reason to go through the lower level MSQ. It also gave us content that isn't just high-end raiding such as Bozja, Zadnor and its abundance of fun CEs and raids. Personally, I enjoyed how varied they were able to make each zone and bring a high fantasy feel to each of them. The raid story and FF8 themes were great too.

They achieved all of that in spite of covid and in spite of all the companies they outsource to for assets being unable to meet deadlines due to covid.
