travelling back in time to the year 2001 to say that in two and a half decades code veronica will be outselling final fantasy vii by possibly exponential factors

Originally there were only male lyrics for 'Back to the Drawing Board' but to demarcate where the female vocals fit in after it was decided to add those vocals. So he used CoPilot to make a short video of where those vocals fit in for the purposes of concert.

FFXV was the last time FF truly reached younger audiences and then SE has squandered every FF after that

saw a heated debate as to whether ff16's script was ruined in localisation and whether the japanese or english version is the correct, good one and i'm gonna stop you all right there. no need to fight. they're both really bad

if the japanese artists come over here that’s a genuine tipping point

potential EME alert 🚨- apparently the Japanese are signing up to bluesky in droves. If you check the newskies feed 99% of posts are now Japanese cc: @surfdude29.ispost.ing @laurenshof.online

with twitters new "fuck you" update there might be a second mass migration to here, especially with Japanese artists who are mass deleting their images there right now

fwiw another investment firm set it at like four times this budget in that state of the industry report that went around a while ago and people seemed to take seriously; i have no idea which is closer to truth but i would not take this as gospel

>Gets linked a bunch of lore from XV after claiming it has no lore >projects about MMO sidequests while defending literal dogshit XIV MMO with the worst sidequests imaginable and XVI with the equally bad MMO style dogshit sidequests with no actual lore You got BTFO back then and BTFO now dipshit

XVI and XIV are so bad none of the "lore" is even in the game they had to sell books that are Japanese only just to get any actual lore. XVI story was so dogshit the devs said they couldn't even follow it which is why the "active time lore" shit got added yet has no actual lore in game itself lmao

XV lore is like "yeah the crown city shut itself off from the rest of Lucis resulting in anti daemon light technology not being exported, causing Cid to fall out with Regis and immeasurable death and destruction" XVI's "lore" be like "yeah we have magic powers but we choose to be slaves"

"Crashing out" and it's me calmly just replying to your posts by actually addressing what you are saying and explaining how you are either wrong, have comprehension issues or don't know what you're talking about Btw E33 was influenced by FFXV so you better start kneeling

my favourite thing about every time ff16 discourse inevitably reaches the part where people start quote tweeting each other with combo videos is you cannot see shit because the entire screen is particle effects destroying the video compression

dragon ball is different to other shonen manga in that it never really redeems its villains or makes them sympathetic it instead just believes that if you grindset hard enough you just kinda stop caring about being evil

Person with E33 pfp trying to dog on the good games that literally influenced E33, it's really making it apparent that E33 fans don't know shit about JRPG's.

Celebrating 9 years since we first drove off into the horizon on an unforgettable road trip in Final Fantasy XV. What was the best recipe you made on this journey?

Interesting data but also I wonder what application does it actually serve in practice? Even despite FFXV's position there (where it's above FFIV, FFVI and would be above III and XVI), and it being THE bros on the road FF, it in actuality has the highest female playerbase out of any Final Fantasy

The proportion of female to male dialogue in Final Fantasy. #advx25

Also according to the findings on the github they made this is mixing every single NPC dialogue with any and all main story dialogue and any main party dialolgue, so this feels kinda disingenuous to frame it that way. Like there is a huge difference between named main story character vs nameless NPC

And also it looks like a lot of the data is incomplete and was based on gamefaqs/wiki transcripts and a few gameplay playthroughs on youtube instead of actually digging through the entirety of the games dialogue data itself?

jrpg isn't a real genre. its a useful shorthand and comparative term (i.e. if you like tales games you'll probably like falcom games) but when more academically discussing things like whether the genre has "evolved" enough or not it becomes tautologically useless

I just skimmed this thread and of course it's started by Dreamboum, but also, why the fuck am I getting name dropped in this thread by some randos? Anyway I'd argue that Yoshi-P's reign has decimated the FF audience more than FF7R has, but FF7R hogging up resources and butchering FF7 hasn't helped.

The overlong focus on FF7 has decimated the Final Fantasy audience www.resetera.com/threads/13...

XIV does not appeal to Final Fantasy fans, it's made for MMO nuts who don't do anything besides play MMO's, it just so happens XIV has a FF like skin, it's full of pointless fanservice to older FF games to trick people to think it's a real FF game by having literal stuff from actual FF games in it.

a poll had me relistening to the ffxvi final boss theme and i forgot how unlistenable this soundtrack was i still can't believe it's not a bigger controversey. it sounds like ass. legitimately not up to releaseable quality
