Final Fantasy XVI

[Abu Antar]

Is that the worst scene?

Is that the worst scene?

Depends who you're asking, but it's certainly the gayest scene so far. I'll obviously keep the codex updated if things get spicier.

 

[Nathir]

I said this game looks gay the moment it was revealed. I knew it from the start

Non-sprite JRPGs pretty much always look gay. It's basically a genre staple.

 

[Stokowski]

There's a lot of flippant shitposting going around from people who haven't played the game

I see you're relatively new here. Welcome.

 

[jaekl]

This video is going to change the game from trash into a must buy for some of you

[Riddler]

Perhaps turnbased wasn't so bad after all?

 

[Abu Antar]

Still sold 3 mil. worldwide.

Japan is insignificant these days.

 

[Deflowerer]

Yeah, those stats just show the decline of Japanese non-mobile gaming market.

It's much less than the numbers FFXV managed, but that wasn't a PS5 exclusive, so there's that.

It's a great launch for Square, better if you add the big check Sony handed them for the exclusivity.

That just proves that westoids eat shit.

That may be true but it's also misleading.

FFXV was released as long after PS4's release date as FFXVI was after PS5, and practically all the sales in Japan were for the PS4. The sales for XBONE were less than 4000.

Maybe, but I don't get your cope rating. I don't even own the game.

Most classic Japanese game series do much worse, if they're not Nintendo.

 

[abija]

Is it FF or is it PS5?

 

[Anonona]

Is it FF or is it PS5?

Could be ps5, japs hate Sony after they moved their HQ out of Japan and declared they didn't care much for the japanese market.

 

[Riddler]

Is it FF or is it PS5?

Those sales are abysmal, Jfc

 

[Hobo Elf]

Still sold 3 mil. worldwide.

It shipped 3 million copies worldwide, not sell. Important distinction.

 

[Morgoth]

The tranny is right. Final Faggotry XVI is utter shit. Just like all the others before.

But accurate, IX was the last good one.

FF16 has sold 3m copies so far. There are about 35m PS5s out there. That is an attach rate (so far) of 8.5%. That seems fine for the end of week 1 and not at all a flop.

Square get a second bite of the cherry (times two) when they port it to PC (and XBOX). When you consider the fee Sony will have paid for timed exclusivity and assume that Square get circa $40 per sale they have probably already turned over at least 100m which would mean they are already in profit considering that they used much reduced time and team size for FF16 compared to previous games.

It is ok not to sell as well as the PS4 games. PS4 had been out for three years by the time that XV was released and, unlike the PS5, had actually shipped well enough to have a sizeable installed base by that time.

FFX was the final bitter chapter in the demise of the final fantasy name.

I was talking about the general Japanese console game sales (outside of nintendo) which have completely collapsed.

 

[The Decline]

Hasn't PC gaming been gaining a ton of traction in Japan these past few years?
