Final Fantasy 15 delayed yet again

archive.is/HqVzj

Is this game ever getting released at this point, or is it delayed so they can split up the game through DLC?

who cares?

NO LIGHTNING, NO BUY

I care because they took a series I liked as a kid and made it into gay boy band shit

TEN MORE YEARS

I hope the delay is because they want to do a simultaneous release with PC. I can hope

The game is already finished.

It's either bug fixes and glitches to make sure everything is perfect and doesn't bomb or DLC marketing and implementation

Honest question, is SE run by retards?

That's not even an acceptable thing to say as a joke, user.

They probably think fujoshits are the big audience for this game.

Why would they think that? Even by otaku standards they are treated as lepers.

Who knows, they want to appeal this shit to as many people as possible. That or this entire game is a relic from 2006

What makes you think I'm joking

People like you are scum

God dammit everything I look forward to is falling apart

oh so a year wasn't long enough?

YOUR WAIFU A SHIT TORIYAMA

You can just tell they know the game is a broken, bloated piece of shit and are trying to salvage whatever they can without making people aware of the fact.

Constant delays of a product, especially this close to release, are never a good sign.

let's be honest here, XIII killed the series. Still I find it funny how out of touch the industry is when this failure had a showing at E3 when Persona 5 and Nier 2 were only mentioned in passing.

...

...

Maybe they'll delay it forever.


What I'm looking forward to is FFXII ZJS.

Remember when Noctis' family was like the mafia?
Remember Stella?
Remember combat that wasn't single button?
Good times

I'm Glad it's being delayed, perhaps now they can address the horrible frame rate issues.

...

I wonder how Nomura feels about the game in its current state. Tabata has done some shit.

I really hope it flops. might sound petty of me but this game just looks bad.

Think about how long they've spend tanking the company for this.


I hope it puts them down for good, as long as they take Eidos with them

10 MILLION SALES TO BE A SUCCESS
Both demos played like garbage and I honestly expect it to play like garbage when it comes out. This is going to be a DNF level failure that'll make this entry the true FINAL Fantasy

14 will keep the series alive for a while.

Maybe they'll remember they haven't fucked with Ivalice in a while and make a spinoff for that on a smaller budget.

If they didn't fucked up and made Final Fantasy the only focus for the company instead of having a variety of different RPG series to tackle others themes and audiences(looking at you Xenogears 2 NEVER EVER) and that fucked up idea of going to the movie business, they'd still be in good shape.

I still find it ridiculous that companies sink what feels like one billion into game development and advertisement and want billions back. There is absolutely no logic to this, this isn't coming from a businessman but a fucking retard neet. Instead they should make more smaller budget games that don't cost much to invest in but are able to make even more back, so they pool that cash into one big budget game. Wasnt it how it was done back then?

Blockbuster mentality has completely taken over corporate culture, especially in vidya. Everyone wants to make the next WoW or CoD, yet they always try to do so by aping popular franchises and trying to muscle in their niches, instead of finding their own.

It should come as common sense that trying to ape something instead of carving your own small but dedicated niche is asking for failure though. I can't understand why publisher suits and developers just don't understand it.

so they spend nearly a decade on a new game and fail to release it on time and have to delay it time after time?
yes, sounds like sqenix
game will be shit, I can feel it

THIS
I remember a youtuber who made this exact statement around 2011. He said something in the lines of "Squenix probably wants to found a boyband in their next project"
Funny how it turned out to be true

surely this is a good sign


i'm 200% positive they'll shoehorn her in there somewhere

Tabata made a game and Nomura didn't. Who cares about what Nomura thinks if he couldn't get the game done.

Well, I hope he made a game, with so many delays I don't even know anymore

Why are his lips so tiny and thin? Is he even capable of kissing?

At least Persona 5 doesn't seem disappointing.

NEVER EVER EVER

Nomura is busy getting Kingdom Hearts 3 out before FF15 kills Square.

Daily reminder that FFVII was the first game Nomura was given a majority control
7 Guardians of light
Nomura's favourite number is 13 and he was looking forward to doing FFXIII until Toriyama fell in love with the character Nomura designed and ass kissed until they gave him the reigns
13 Seekers of Darkness
Post punished Nomura

Not really surprising, SE has a bad rep in Japan because of all the dumb things they did like making mostly mobage in Japan and hardly any real games, DQM3 is the worst selling DQM game, and Japan hates any company that focuses on the international market like Capcom.

Japan can hate all they want. They are a rapidly shrinking market and a large developer has to look internationally to compensate. Granted, capcom and SE haven't done that very well.

This. The Japanese market is becoming filled with mobile game faggots.

Wow.

Once they get done with the many assest reusing sequels to make back their costs, what are they going to do with FF16?

Will they finally learn their lesson and do something like FF1 (largely unguided big world with no predefined characters) or FF5 (Fun characters and plot, job system)? Of course not!?

How big could it be?

It's taken over consumer culture too. Everytime my friends says they are buying a game they plan on getting together and playing it or buying because it's the big thing they heard.

they're leading your ass with a carrot on a stick

FFXV was supposed to be based on Hamlet which was pretty interesting on itself. The royal family were also the criminals, so it would have a gre-andgrey morality thing.

Noctis was supposed to be Hamlet but instead we got your average shonen protagonist. Versus XIII was supposed to be first rated M FF but Type 0 got that honor. It is very dark, tho.


VersusXIII was actually Nomura's pet project. Shortly after the announcement that Tabata was taking the lead when asked Nomura said he was forced out of the director team, then in the KH Ultimania guide he wrote a letter about how KH was his rage baby so when he was mad he'd work on KH. Given his statements about how KH is just ending its first arc and there's more to come and a bunch of other absurd things, I think he just wants to tank KH either because he's tired of an elevator joke with a Disney exec being THIS long or because his pet project VersusXIII was killed in favor of whatever Tabata did and Nomura was forced into working on KHIII.

He's a horrible planner, that's for sure, but I feel bad for him because he was removed from something he really wanted to work on, a child project. It's hilarious because it's like in those cases where the stepdad loves the adoptive son than his own because the later only turned out a disappointment.

I'm salty because was supposed to be the next Aerith

we weren't able to see this, xenogears, or Valyrie Profile come to completion but we were able to see Toriyama's game get two more bullshit sequels? What did Toriyama says in those board meetings that made everyone agree with him.

As I said, it's because Nomura is a terrible planer. We couldn't see it at first but back in the day when he could talk about either KHIII or VersusXIII, he'd usually talk about the later or dedicate most of his responses about it than the former. He'd always talk more about VersusXIII than KH. It only made more sense once the Ultimania guide came out and he said KH is his hate child.

I can only asume he wanted to focus more on VersusXIII and was actively ignoring KHIII, but since he's a terrible time and resource manager he wasn't making any progress in either of them and execs forced him to work on KHIII and gave his child to Tabata, who mangled him and made him a pop idol and not a mafia fantasy Hamlet.

Granted, he's working on the FFVII remake. I can imagine Nomura focusing on it just to avoid KHIII because it really looks like he doesn't want to make KHIII at all *please can that shit**.

I will make a game about a mafia prince for you, Tabata.

With video games they want to be able to do sequels using the same assets they developed when making the first game.

I expect a FF15-2 and FF15-3 to already be planned.

IM GONNA MARRY LIGHTNING

Tough shit for Japan, America & Europe will always have a market while they will continue to shrink and get suckered into mobile.

...

What you're describing is exactly the thrust of S-E's mobile games business.

the fuck?
the platinum demo?
where you do little kid bullshit for 30 minutes while some turbo cocksuck carbuncle tells you how to do chores, and then you get one shitty fucking boss battle where the combat is god damn terrible? are we talking about the same game?
are you fucking retarded?

There was another demo you sperg

and i'm sure it was just soooo much better with its watered down kingdom hearts combat and early 90s tier bishies and 0 hp not being a failure condition

Post yfw this fujoshit gets flooded with 1-star reviews on Amazon Japan.

Really VA and FMV are the only major sources of file size in modern games.

Without them even the most expansive game can fit on a mere DVD.

So it would be the most fuck huge game ever?

So then why do they get angry when they have to go international to stay afloat then? Like with all these PC ports in particular being so common now

Japanese buisnessmen's xenophobia doesn't outweigh their greediness. Much like refugees.

But this is a good thing, they get time to work on the game and fix whatever shit they got wrong.

But you see, user, other anons won't give the benefit of the doubt. Although with the recent tendency of delays and the product still being shit I don't blame them.


Thing is, fujos are actually a huge market and they spend even more money than your average otaku on merch and that kind of shit. Anime example with Osomatsu-san and fujos alone keep Gintama alive, while Girls Und Panzerwon't get another season because it sold poorly.

Whatever problems and concerns they've built up over the past 10 years isn't going to be fixed in two months

I have no reason why we should with the recent announcements and how XIII panned out

If the plot leaks that happened months ago happen to be true then those delays won't fix anything, and they seem to be true as far as we've seen, at least some of them look like it: Gentiana is actually Shiva and follows Luna around. Now this would seem too farfetched but in the Fat Prompto OVA Gentiana appears for a moment and she's exactly as old as she was first shown in that illustration where Luna is already an adult. Would make sense she doesn't get old in she's Shiva.

One has to wonder how can Tabata will ruin this. Shame because Type 0 was actually good (fuck the remaster, tho), wonder what happened along the way.

We really need to stop asking how Tabata will ruin this
Or how Nomura will ruin this
Or how Toriyama will ruin this.
There are definite heads there at the company that are running around and fucking up shit and it is more than just those three guys making decisions for the worse or better.

Fuck, I'm writing like a retard. Sorry about that.

Thing is, Tabata seems to want to do everything at the same time, both what he wants and what fans want and that's a problem.

Well almost every company has an extra source of income in Japan aside from mobage and pachinko, Sega makes figures, lol Sony literally owns Japan with all the shit they do, SE is a manga publisher, Bamco is too big and produces a lot of toys, only Capcom and Konami don't have anything else so they'll die in 10 years+

Konami has Yu-gi-oh cards, casinos and other shit that has nothing to do with video games, they'll unfortunately be fine for quite a while. Capcom though is fucked, all they have i Monster Hunter, Resident Slenderman, and fucking ace attorney. They don't even own street fighter, their US branch does.

...

Officially Delayed

RIP Squeenix, he never scored.
