Did Ff16 Flop?

Btw, SE's stock price went back to 7000 JPY recently.

You SE doom and gloom believers missed the chance to make money when internet articles all doom and gloom and pushed SE stock price low last time! Too bad.

Don't worry, I am pretty sure when next part of FF7R releases there will be tons of SE doom and gloom posts saying the game suck, pushing stock price below 5500 again. So whoever sold it this round can buy low sell high again. This stock price swinging has happened so many times with internet SE hate posts to the point that it's almost become too predictable, lol.

The SE board of directors went from 6 to 2. SE themselves referred to it as a "restructuring". Additionally, Yoshida asked over a year ago to be removed from the board:

"Yoshida revealed to Dutch publication NRC that he has even tried to step down from the board, but Square won’t let him. 'I recently tried to quit that work, but the company didn’t agree with it. I don’t want to be on the board, it’s much more fun to just make games,' Yoshida told NRC. Clearly, Square wants to utilize the director’s expertise in as many areas as possible."

He has stated multiple times, as recently as the last live letter for FF14 like a week ago, that he didn't want to be an executive and only wants to be involved in the game making side of things. Clearly a good choice considering he runs one of the most popular MMOs on the market and a giant cash cow for SE.

You can be butthurt all you want my dude, it doesn't change anything. At the end of the day, you're butthurt FF11 didn't continue to see full expansion development. As much as most of us don't like that, it was a good business decision, and it shows in their financial reports that it was smart.

>"i wasn't fired, I quit!"

Omega cope.

I'm not sure you understand what "fired" means, but you can continue to throw your tantrums if you'd like. Doesn't change anything.

This is basically a full surrender. Time to stop posting.

Failure has consequences, it's over.

Record player count + increased profits != failure.

Time to start living in reality my guy

No no, let's hear what he thinks is over, its free entertainment. What's over, RA?

I dont follow XIV stuff in depth, but I'm pretty sure Yoshida has been on record many times stating that he doesnt want to be on the board so he can focus on his projects.

Yoshi P sucks

He has, many times. Bro's a gamer, he wants to make games lol and he's good at it.

16 failed, it was horrid trash

Direct quote from SE:

"In the HD Games sub-segment, we released multiple new titles, including major titles such as Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, but profits unfortunately did not meet our expectations."

Eurogamer.

You gotta be a new type of delusional when even the company itself admits the game failed.

It's over Anakin, FF16 has the lower ground.

Lmao, you realize the post you are quoting is talking about FF14? Try reading next time.

Yoshi is just bad at game design.
Comparing just the new 7 to 16, its clear as day.

There is so much quality of life stuff in 7 that would have made a huge difference in 16 and 14.

Custscene speed up controls
Movement speed
Time to sprint
Menu load times

Without even getting into core gameplay complaints or story

The 14 stopwatch guy was clearly working overtime on 16, everything was arbitrarily inflated
it was all downhill after chapter 1
a slogg

I know it must be hard being you. The level of copium you inhale, causing you to breathe heavy woke farts. But here is a screenshot of the source, since your brain must have rotten away already. lol.

Let me break it down for you further, Godfry. This post that you tried and failed to call out:


Is talking about Final Fantasy 14. Keep up with the conversation, and maybe you won't look like a fool.

I was literally talking about FF14, not FF16. You should probably read the previous posts.

"Not meeting expectations" and "the game failed" are not the same thing. Again, you know this, but being disingenuous is easier than admitting you're in the minority.

Rady, Im sorry but this time, it is you who deserve to have your buttocks spanked, for necroing this thread.

There is already that hateful place that is the New Game sucks.

The world doesnt deserve two of those horrible threads.

Congratulations for making the world a worse place by bumping this thread...

Why are you apologizing? Just do it already.

Also this thread is the OG New game sucks thread. It's made before the other one. Don't you want double amount of entertainment?

Yoshida had high aspirations for making single player games, his continual failure and especially with ff16 is good because now that option is taken away from him and he can concentrate back on ff14 and 11 more now.

Any ff14 player that argues against this is a tard, just sayin.
