I mean, it's by the director of XIV, which is the best FF story there is, as well as one of the best in gaming.Yeah I'm preparing for disappointment with it. Hopefully that will lead me to having such a low bar and expectation that I'll actually love it. But if its the same people behind all the Ivalice games, I need to lower that bar even more.
why would a game that most people will play on Game Pass be on preorder charts?On what place in the preorder chart is Redfall? Can't seem to get the website to open up.
In Canada we are getting first one.For deluxe editions it does kinda make sense as they can and usually do run out for popular games.
On Topic - Not really, Which Deluxe Edition is coming to the west?
So was Forspoken...why not? its sony certified quality.....on ps5 at least
I mean yeah I get that, but most games are still largely playable and fine. Unless its like Cyberpunk, but honestly being a part a launch like Cyberpunk is an experience in itself.This doesn't account for technical issues though which IMO is the main reason not to pre order.
Yes, no difference at all between the teams.... None whatsoever. Got it.So was Forspoken...
VI is mine. I would give anything for a complete, beat for beat 3d remake of FFVI. But it would have to be by a director who was adamant about translating it close to perfectly to the original.Looks epic AF.
Really hoping FF has returned to prominence with this new entry. Everything I've seen makes me even more excited for this than FFVII:R Part 2 (and the O.G. FFVII was one of my favorite games of all time).
Glad to see that the 'gamepass doesn't cannibalise game sales' narrative has finally died.why would a game that most people will play on Game Pass be on preorder charts?
I mean, the whole point of GP is not to pay games. It doesn't cannibalize sales on other platforms that don't have Game Pass.Glad to see that the 'gamepass doesn't cannibalise game sales' narrative has finally died.
Instead of stashing the money on your bank account and collecting interest, the publishers can get your interest now.
I HATE MMO's, and XIV is the most annoying MMO I've ever tried playing. Would have loved to have experienced its story, sadly its shoved behind that MMO gameplay that I just can't get with. I'm glad to hear that it was good though, gives me a little hope. XII's story is (to me) the worst in all FF, including the worst characters and near worst gameplay. It was a struggle to complete that game and looking back its why I gave up on FF until FF7 Remake reminded me why I love (some) FF games. I would love nothing more than 16 to be amazing, to feel like FF, to give me 6 - 9 vibes, or do something new that is amazing, high quality and sets a new standard for games going forward. But I'm going to remain skeptical of the game to make sure i have no expectations to disappoint.I mean, it's by the director of XIV, which is the best FF story there is, as well as one of the best in gaming.
I mean, I don't know how anyone could say XII has the worst characters when we have XIII, but to each their own. XII is a far better game than XIII or XV. Especially XIII, Story, characters, all of it. Though the later version is the better version of XII, it's still better than those in its original form. To each their own I guess.I HATE MMO's, and XIV is the most annoying MMO I've ever tried playing.

I'm not upset about gamepass at all.. In fact I don't give a shit about it as long as it doesn't lead to MS keep taking software/publishers away from other platforms to continuously feed it. I was referring to the fact that over the last few years we've heard many times (insanely) that it doesn't affect game sales on Xbox. I'm just relieved that (since it was confirmed) we can now openly say it does.I mean, the whole point of GP is not to pay games.

It's weird how some of you are so upset that MS looks at the market differently than Sony? MS wants users on their platform, and the bigger the platform, the better. The data they get is worth billions, and gaming is helping drive their cloud services. Xbox will take single game sales, of course, but it's definitely not their focus. They don't want your 70$, they want your sub. I'm not sure why some are so upset about that.

There's still like a 5% chance it'll suck. Then it will have been a waste of money.I mean if they are going to buy it either way, it's not really a waste of money.
People like to waste their money with preorders .
They never learn, do they.
If I've never played a FF game, but I have FFXV and FF7R . . . which one do you think is more like FFXVI?
I'm not into turn based combat which is why I never played the older titles.
I know people hate on the FFXV boy band look or whatever, but I don't think that would bother me.
than FFVIIR.
I do way more collecting now and tend to leave my physical collection sealed so I play as much of my stuff in digital as I can.People like to waste their money with preorders .
They never learn, do they.
I mean, with Amazon, they dont take the money until it ships, so people can still back out.People like to waste their money with preorders .

You left out the one everyone is buying!!!!!!!For deluxe editions it does kinda make sense as they can and usually do run out for popular games.

Nice to see Demon's Souls at #10.Amazon UK
They can have that 0.001% of a penny.Instead of stashing the money on your bank account and collecting interest, the publishers can get your interest now.
Never played either of those due to how bad 12 was. It’s what I mean by it ruining me on the series for awhile.I mean, I don't know how anyone could say XII has the worst characters when we have XIII, but to each their own.

FFXIII is far and away the worst FF game.
No offense or any disrespect, but why does it matter to you what people do with their money?People like to waste their money with preorders .

Normally I would've agreed - but that State of Play looked amazing.Bubut nobody wants to play an action Final Fantasy game!
Looks like Japan will be buying a lot of PS5s soon.Amazon JP
Most of the people who say what you are responding to just play your average aaa title that goes down in value almost immediately, like Far Cry and CoD etc. and they don't collect or play niche Japanese games or buy collector's editions.No offense or any disrespect, but why does it matter to you what people do with their money?
People who want to play FF16 will play it regardless of reviews or anything else. It's a single player game without any micro transactions as I am aware or anything like that. So there is no bait and switch here as far corporate greed goes. Every showing this game had has been quite positive.
I don't understand how money is being "wasted" when the customer knows what they're getting based off previews. People who pre ordered God of War Ragnarok or TLOU 2 also wasted money? Lol. Very silly.
Yes, no difference at all between the teams.... None whatsoever. Got it.
Everyone knew Forspoken looked like ass from day one, and was clearly written by leftists writers more worried about inclusion and diversity, and black girl power, over being a great game and story.
The press is attacking FFXVI for putting story and gameplay over diversity and inclusion. Nothing about these games is comparable, especially not the pedigree of their directors and writers.

For instance: take the recent release of Trails to Azure. It was only out maybe two weeks after release that scalpers started to snatch up the remaining copies from an already low print run. The people who don't pre-order those types of games will end up having to pay twice the retail price, or more.
Maybe don't worry what people do with their money.People like to waste their money with preorders .

I was saying that those who buy games that don't hold value don't tend to buy the games that hold their value, like niche Japanese titles, so they don't have to think about pre-orders to secure a physical copy of a low print run game.Did you also know that when you buy a brand new Mercedes E Coupe 2023 for 90-110K and as soon as you take it out of the dealer's parking lot the value of the car instantly tanks on that very same day, hour, minute and second? Or any other vehicle for that matter? Welcome to economics.
What you are saying is irrelevant. Also, if someone is that worried about money then they can go buy the game on steam if they wish, play it for less than 2 hours and get a refund. Majority of these sales are digital anyways, physical is slowly fading out. Or just go get Game Pass and play whatever you want to your hearts content.
FFXVI looks great so I'm not surprised people are pre-ordering the crap out of it.
I'm not really sure why I'm seeing such resistance to the combat by some fans. God forbid people have fun when fighting enemies. As much as I love classic turn based FF, it's pretty telling when they add features in those games that allow you to disable random battles. With FF7R I actually wanted to fight people, and I imagine XVI will take that even further.
In terms of visuals I think the game looks incredible. I find the art direction to be more appealing than the shot we got of Rebirth but it's still very early on with Rebirth.
i don't know what it is but Rebirth still looks very cross-gen to me whereas XVI gives me actual PS5 vibes. It's not really a fair comparison though because we only got one shot of Rebirth and it's earlier footage.
I think what people miss about E3 are the jokes and memes rather actual showcase, because if you good showing you dont need E3.But this shows they don't need E3 for them pre orders. Just a good and focused presentation thats widely available.

We just go gameplay trailer and release date for Armored Core VI, to me it doesn’t make any difference if this was revealed at E3 or at YouTube still pretty exciting. I’m here for the games not for the show.E3 used to be the Superbowl of videogames. We miss all of it.
