And then FF15 instantly proved its the defining game of the next generation.

Absolutely haram, I threw up a little.

I assume it's the 10 ish minutes open world gameplay video on YT? Didn't seem too impressive. Could very well just be one big ish open area, and even if it's not, you still need a reason to go around there.
Like, at least in Betheseda's games there's bandit camps with loot and random little shit caves and such, so it feels like you get something out of the exploration rather than just wasting time with scenery porn and dodging enemies.

So yea, I'm still on HMS Expecting Failure until I read some consumer reviews.

I wish I could play Fallout 3 to see if it was overrated or not but Bethesda has a tendency to make their games so disgustingly buggy I couldn't even get past the title menu. My comp has shit specs but when I see a guy run Fallout 3 with even shittier specs run it perfectly fine I got a little bit miffed

Get both FO3 and New Vegas, then install tale of two wastelands.

Then you can do all of Fallout 3 including the story using the engine from new vegas, which actually works like an FPS.

Then realize FO3 is complete shit and the voice actors were hired from a methadone clinic.

Not with The Witcher 3 coming out it isn't.

Seriously though no Nomura = possible shitty game.

I know the visuals are flashy and everything but I suggest not getting your hopes up too high for Final Fantasy Boy Band Road-trip Simulator.

Nomura is the reason why the last few games have been shit.

F0XFIRE said:


Yeah they were shitty compared to the others though still passably decent I guess. Nomura's involvement would of resulted in this game possible pretty much being decent like the last few games but now that he's gone it's a little worrying.

Also I have no idea who the fuck the new guy is.

F0XFIRE said:
idk then maybe things will be ok. I am sort of happy Nomura's gone though sometimes change isn't a good sign I guess and I'm a little worried. Other than the Open World aspect I haven't really been particularly impressed by anything else in the game so I won't set my expectations very high.

F0XFIRE said:
So I guess this has a chance of being a decent game then but not something defining the generation as you say. I don't have faith in Nomura to save the FF franchise.

SolvitePriest said:


Nomura did most of the work on FF15.

All thats left is quality fixes, and other menial things.

The design decisions were made by nomura.

also FF isnt and never will be open world.

Having a map with nothing to do on it but fly to the next city isnt open world.

SolvitePriest said:
clickbait title is clickbait bro

SolvitePriest said:


Nomura directed FF8 and FF13. The worst final fantasies. Dude can suck a dick.

F0XFIRE said:


So XV isn't open world? It says something like open-world environment about it. Though I did like how the environments looked, very pretty.

VitaminCaim said:
Well almost all the Final Fantasies have been pseudo open world. Once you were done with a certain area you were more than likely never going to visit it again or do sidequests

F0XFIRE said:


So they're having more Open World level design than the others?

VitaminCaim said:
Well we'll have to wait and see. FF13 had the open world aspect by chapter 9 which took hours and hours to get to so it was almost pointless. It also didn't have towns which was probably the dumbest design choice someone has ever made... If the open world aspect is being emphasized in this trailer then I think this might be the Final Fantasy that breaks the curse

Rokumi said:

Well, okay, that's one way to look at it. I actually meant that when like 50% of people can't play the game, it's not a "defining game" at all. It's just another console exclusive that no one ends up caring about in a few years.

FreakyTy said:


Watched the video yes, the open world doesn't seem that impressive over anything Bethesda's put out. It all just looks a bit more polished in terms of put-togetherness, but they still didn't really show anything interesting in the game they just walked around no actual game play. In the article it says you engage in fights with monsters you're close too so it seems to be another FF game without an actual turn based combat system, haven't done research correct me otherwise.

Also I can agree FO3 was shit, but lore was fine.

JizzyHitler said:
no toriyama directed FF13, but yes nomura is responsible for the abomination that is FF8 but thats pretty much his only fuck up

Mizorefan said:
Geez, FFXV looks average, at the best.

Persona 5 will be way better for sure.

VitaminCaim said:
At least say that when a gameplay trailer releases. Yeah P5 may be better but at least start the shit talk when P5 releases an ingame trailer LOL

Persona fans are like the LOGH fans of jrpgs

FGAU1912 said:


no there not atlest ginga ei den fans like somting that not not just a spin off of a much better franchise

persona is a spin off of better franchise mega ten and Ginga ei den is its own thing Thus persona fans are worse

VitaminCaim said:
I'm referring to how Persona fans brush off almost every other jrpg and refer to Persona as the holy coming of christ. Although you probably don't understand since you live in Japan and almost every jrpg is available but outside of Japan, Persona fans just don't know when to stop talking and talking about it. I like Persona but holy fuck they just don't shut up and some of them never even played other JRPGs before. And I'm not literally comparing LOGH and Persona, I'm just saying they both have cancerous fanbases

Yhuuro said:
A huge open world doesnt mean jack if you dont put enough content in it to keep it engaging for players. FUEL is a perfect example of this.

Every game can be open world now.

Baman said:
I can't wait for the open world remake of Tetris. Shit's gon be so cash.

Ezekiel said:
Oh my god, that describes those pansies perfectly. I've asked if they were all in a band or something and commented about how stupid they look acting cool as they drive, but your description is so concise. Pansies! All that's missing is a comment about their ridiculous hair.

Edit: And the gargantuan, retarded as shit weapons.
