But but but but... NeoGaf told me that this game bombed
They were misinformed I suppose.

I would love a game centered around 40 year olds.

not a think..but wish it was
But but but but... NeoGaf told me that this game bombed
It's not like it bombed, it's just that 6 M bought the game just because the hype but hated it
/s, for the record everyone I know liked it.

That feeling when you go through a decade of development hell and have people question if you're even still relevant yet in the end become the fastest selling FF game to 6 million.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

What else did GAF tell you, that we're all a single hivemind entity with a singular opinion?
FOH with that "But but GAF told me" shit

Wouldn't be a FF thread without a healthy dose of salt!
I don't mean to turn threads into saltfests, but my opinion is based on 20 yrs of playing FF so I think it has some merit. And I enjoyed XIII and criticized the naysayers back then, so I guess the tables have been turned.
I'm happy some people enjoy it, but sad that it's encouraging SE in this... direction.
My 150 hr game clock says otherwise. Last good one was X.
Unnumbered it would be Crystal Bearers on Wii.

No one said it bombed. Just said it's bad. Which is still true. 😌

We are out there, bemoaning the next XV update to come.
Salty jokes aside, good for them. Look forward to their other games... whenever we actually get them.

And GAF continues to hold that L.
Yeah and the slide said that as well: fastest FF to 6 million. Who knows how many it had sold since that time.
So a great game is what you're saying?
Unfortunately your opinion is irrelevant to SE and it's financial sales
The game's quality aside, it was extremely hyped up for quite a long time, it's not really that surprising that said hype would bear fruit like this.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Nor to everyone who played the game. I quite enjoyed it.

Length of play does not equal quality. I've spent 140 hrs on FFXV, doesn't mean I've enjoyed it nearly as much as the 110 hrs I spent on XIII, which also had ~500% more story content to it and characters that actually developed with moments that actually made me feel feelings.
Most of my 140 hrs in XV were probably spent finding frogs or something. #gameplay

Is it safe to assume they will use the same engine and large world map size for the next title?
Final Fantasy shouldn't be carrying the failures of other games.
Great, now patch in the second half of the game and we're good to go
XV's world size was pointless. It was just gas stations and a couple of pit stops. They're better off doing dungeon style travel, like Tales Of (but not shitty).

The same team next game (Division 2) yes, though not the next Final Fantasy.
I'm sure 16 will try some form of Open World though.

Tabata next title will probably use it since his division are the most knowledgable with the engine.

Great, well deserved.
The game may have its flaws but I enjoyed it.

Lots of people said it bombed before the sales numbers made them quiet down. And now people are moving the goalpost to subjective things.
Nah fam hold that
It will be open world. Who knows about engine, I think it's extremely unlikely the next mainline game will be on current consoles

Despite its flaws, FF XV is a very good game that deserves praise for not staying as the ghost of FF XIII Versus and becoming an RPG that everyone can enjoy.
I enjoyed the game a lot despite some of its issues and I look forward to more updates that they promised, such as bringing more of the cut story content for all of us who want to know more.
Congrats SE

of course it will sell well, even if it's the worst game ever made.

That sucks. Terrible game, bad MMOesque quest design. Could learn something from [good] open world games and I know it won't. And then there's the story... I'd take a linear game with a story over what we got.

So theoretically the tail on this thing needs to be 4M?
Weren't they saying it needed to sell 10M before it released?
