We need to start having disinformation tags so we can add them to posts or threads when we get reliable information that contradicts the subject.
5/10 game sells poorly. Go figure.
FF has never reached those numbers.They wanted to sell 20m copies in a week, they arent getting that with FF unless they release toi all platforms or wait 6 years
I remember when the 2013 reboot Tomb Raider sold almost 10 million copies and SE said it underperformed. I think SE are crazy.
I dunno… personally I thought the game kind of sucked but I’m not convinced how much either of those things mattered.Exclusive to one platform
Moves away from everything that made FF
Square-Enix :
Poor Eidos who got dragged into this piss poor management for so many years.
Wow, a new low for adamsapple then but hardly surprising why he created this fake news thread.We know it isn't valid.
Same. Game doesn't feel like the Final Fantasy I grew up with.Good. Take notes from Larian you mongs. Not everyone wants the RPG removed from an RPG.
I love the FF series but aint buying a FF skinned Devil My Cry game. It should have been a spin off. It's like EA making a Rugby game and calling it Fifa because they both use a ball.
I just believe it would be the correct thing to do. Then let people decide if it's valid or not.
he gets the clicks and ad revenue from his news posted here
in the end he wins
Making a proper FF game and releasing on more platforms would have helped. But you can't do this AND get Sony's money.
They are totally comparable of course lol. They are probably paying the price of making the previous game exclusive on top of this for SF6.SF6 released on more platforms and has sold less than FF XVI.
b-but, people loves to bash this game ( T__T) so sadNGL, mods should close this thread then. Bloomberg Takashi has such an obvious fanboy hateboner against PlayStation, it bleeds through in every single one of his mentions and reports regarding the platform and its exclusive games.
There's nothing of substance to discuss here. Shut it down. Back to lurking.
Allegedly, 20% of Final Fantasy 15's sales were on the Xbox One.Super debatable. Has ff ever sold on Xbox?
Combat being action based and my perception of 12, 13 and 15 had me deflated. Release hype and word of mouth had a positive effect, but it wasn't enough to sway me day 1.I wonder if word of mouth about the actual game deflated the demo hype.
My pet theory is that this game did start as a spinoff and would’ve been a much shorter linear action game. Then they decided to expand it into a full mainline FF game, and all the other stuff (exploration zones, side quests, item creation, all the between-mission filler shit) was mainly added so they could justify calling it Final Fantasy XVIGood.

I liked the game but it absolutely has big budget spin off vibes throughout, so I highly suspect this is accurate.My pet theory is that this game did start as a spinoff and would’ve been a much shorter linear action game.

As a big FF fan since the early 90s I was totally on board with the action combat and GoT-inspired story. But what ruined it is that the RPG elements and basically everything except the cutscenes/boss fights was so damn bland and half baked. You can just tell which parts all devs’ passion/creativity went to, and which parts they just phoned it in.
Ridiculous question. The important thing to note is that it was within expectations, and SQEX never said "hope" in Japanese even once. It sold more than Aliens Dark Descent, which was a multiplatform game like Street Fighter 6. Boom, close the thread, arrest Tim Bloomberg and put Eurogamer on the list of banned sites. P.S. Fuck you Pikmin 4.Sooooooo.....how many copies did FFXVI sell?

And you know perfectly well that Xbox + PC, dare I say Switch, would have significantly boosted sales.
I am expecting an improved version to be released later for them to try and fix some issues people had with XVI as it is.

FF sells way more elsewhere but it's still a decent amount of sales being left on the table, assuming future games would have a similar cut
Aliens is a very niche franchise. It was never going to sell all that great. Not sure what it has to do with FFXVI. I'm only interested in a concrete number. Can't seem to get a concise answer. Best Alien game is still Isolation. For Aliens it's probably AvP2.Ridiculous question.

Funny I don't see you complaining in the much more prevalent shit Xbox Topics.Of course you'd make a thread with this as the source. Never change, shillapple.
Well, they could at least release it as a proper RPG vs character action game with RPG elements. And even character action part seemingly could have used some more work.Making a proper FF game and releasing on more platforms would have helped. But you can't do this AND get Sony's money.
Haha that title change. Karma for the poster.
You and Adamsapple do enough complaining in those threads for the lot of us.Funny I don't see you complaining in the much more prevalent shit Xbox Topics.
Won't please neither camp because the two will contradict.I do wonder how difficult it would be to have a choice of turn based or action in the battle system of one release to appease both audiences.
Because it was a success?Oof. Guess they'll put it on more platforms next time
Based on what?I think they were >>> clearly <<< hoping for at least FF7R sales.
Haha that title change. Karma for the poster.
Exactly.This thread being corrected has at least exposed those who were desperate to hear some bad news confirming their narrative that this game flopped.
Based on what?
That's because you don't understand Sony's communication strategy. Their aim is to create a context where SF = PS even though SF gets released on other consoles. They have worked like this since 1995 by the way.Why would SFV skipping Xbox affect the number of paying customers for SF6 on the platform?
