But GAF told me it was an unfinished failure and that they should move on and do XVI already!!
BD1?This is just people hating, since XVI is already probably in development by a different team.

EDIT: Ah never mind.6 million people bought an unfinished failure.
failure is a harsh term but as someone who was part of the original versus 13 hype train more than 10 years ago all the way up until 15's release, I was incredibly disappointed with what I got
EDIT: Ah never mind.
Like I said, I ignore GAF collectively, It's an echo chamber at times, I didn't say FF15 criticism isnt warranted. But in many threads you would think FF15 (and Destiny) were complete garbage games.Maybe because the game shipped incomplete? SE isnt even hiding it.
Zelda lived up to my expectations; FFXV did not.
I don't get why people think that XV's success will inevitably lead to a similar FFXVI. If there is one constant throughout the series it is that every installment is different. Pretty sure XII was a commercial and critical success but XIII was not similar at all (could say the same about X and XII tbh)
Wait is this what usually happens? Is it a monthly thing?I wish we had some updated numbers. Is it still at 6M?

That's interesting. Never knew that they could just decide not to show anything.What, updated sales numbers? No, it depends on the publisher. They usually just do it when they feel like it, or never at all.
Sweet so now we have more sources!

FFXV is the best mainline FF since FFIX as far as im concerned. Played it for more than 100 hours and Platinum'd it, flaws and all
Good for Square. Now if only they could not take another 10 years to develop XVI.
I wager that if something is announced for the game at E3 (the expansion....?) then the press release will probably give an updated number. IIRC they didn't mention FFXIII at 7 million sales-ish until FFXIII-2's announcement.
Speaking of XIV, I got an email from the Square Enix store saying that they're about to charge my card for the Stormblood CE order. 200 dollars plus shipping and taxes! I don't have that right now! Why so early??? Why can't they be like Amazon in that regard?
NOOOOooooooo....why you break my heart KZX???Seems to be sourced from the same clickbaity article from Gematsu.
The power of agressive marketing.
Maybe in 2020 when the game is complete it will deserve everything.

This train never ends apparently!My mind still does not know what to make of the game. I haven't touched it since i beat it about a month after release but its hard to make up my mind about a game that is essentially still in early access.
This train never ends apparently!
Lesson learned by SE: Story content doesn't matter, just create a world with generic quests and slap characters on it and you'll sell 6 million.
The real reason it sold that many was the long wait and insane hype. Not deserved, but at least the FF franchise isn't dead and there is hope for the future.
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH.
Wish they had completed the story but the game is so damn fun to play and is super gorgeous in HDR. I had already 100% it twice, now I'm doing a third run on my new TV. Just level 12 with already 40k XP banked.
Nice sales, well deserved!
I never really got this why do you feel like u need to get why someone enjoyed? I doubt there's something you're missing it's simply it clicked more for the individual person more than it did for ui honestly and genuinely want to know why people play this game more than once. What is attracting you to play this game multiple times? I just don't get it. Can you please explain? I really want to know. For me, the story is not good at all and the side quests are among the worst in any game i have ever played. I am not a hater, I waited 10 years for this game since it was announced in May 2006 as Versus XIII and I bought the Ultimate Collector's Edition and other merchandise but after beating it, all I could think was, "huh, what did I wait 10 years for".
Edit: I really want someone to explain what it is about this game that has them coming back. I want to know because maybe there is something I am missing and maybe it will get me to play the game since I last beat it about 5 months ago.
The game is very beautiful and the combat is fun, what's not to love? Yes, I wish the story was better and more developed but I just love messing around in this game with no pressure. FFXV is an incredible technical achievement, and I'm noticing so many new things in my third playthrough that I didn't before.i honestly and genuinely want to know why people play this game more than once.

I for one am glad that this was a success.
It sets a bad precedence. Now Squareenix know it doesn't matter if they release a messy and incompleted game, they will sell it with a good marketing campaign. FFXV was released in Early Acess status, a giant void world filled by gas stations and MMO-like fetch quests like "feed the kitty", "collect tomatoes" or "take pictures for Harley of Lost".
That's not what I want for FFXVI, I want it to be complete and everything explained at release, not having to wait months so they add cutscenes, content and a survey asking us "what other cut content do you want?".
Man for being AnUnbiasedGamer you sure are pretty biased with dislike towards this game. So much so that the concept of someone liking this game sounds foreign to you.i honestly and genuinely want to know why people play this game more than once.

And now I'm glad that my only glory days was playing IV since it was the only one I could afford at the time otherwise my thoughts might be different.Yup.
Compared to the glory days of FF6-9, what we got in XV is just pathetic.

I will never understand why people feel someone owes you because you got hyped for a cg trailer 10 years ago.Maybe there was a feature that I wasn't using or maybe there were great side quests out there and I simply did not find them. Maybe, there were really cool weapons or upgrades that made the gameplay really fun that i missed. Its kind of sad but I want to justify my 10 years of waiting.

Maybe the name is suppose ironic, like the skinny Italian everyone calls Fat Tony or like Cedric the Entertainer.Man for being AnUnbiasedGamer you sure are pretty biased with dislike towards this game. So much so that the concept of someone liking this game sounds foreign to you.

Its like SE was siphoning blood for every additional year the game took to be made.
Its incredible people continue to rag on SE for how terrible their games are or how evil their practices are and tell them how they should do business or how not but choose not to do the simplest thing, which is to stop caring about them and move the hell on instead of expecting their personal vision of a perfect jrpg to be made by them.
Yup.
