And when taking into account it's whole lifetime and every platform it will release on in the future then yes

Defend this. Please someone defend this.

>B-but, it makes sense within the confines of the story!

If the story bottlenecks the entire main playable cast into looking like a bunch of faggy boyband rejects from the early 2000's then I'm afraid the story itself needs to be changed. That doesn't excuse it.

It's going to be a first FF game that i and many of my friends will buy since the PS2 era. Also strangely it somehow attracts a lot of normies, for example people who like abysmal shit like witcher 3 or fallout 3. It has a shot at 10mil. Especially considering huge PS4 sale numbers but very small number of big AAA titles.

Square thinking that any other FF that'll top VII in terms of story, popularity and sales needs to end.
It's almost impossible at this point, what's funny is that I actually think KHIII will sell even more than FFXV, why Square decided to switch to Unreal 4 instead of keeping the idea of making a new engine for KHIII is beyond me.

Only if the normies line up to buy it like a Skyrim.

I think it's highly unlikely considering normies hate the bishonen anime look of it.

XIII sold around 2-3 million and it'll probably do better than that, but not much better. I'm guessing around 5 million give or take. 10 is just vastly overestimating their audience.

No. Not ever.

It won't sell that many over its lifetime, even assuming an eventual PC release.
>>
>>334337324

The worst part is that it is... it's just all that is wrong about the franchise. They've been pushing on the wrong direction since they changed teams on XII or maybe since they released X-2.

They have become utterly shitty... and even though the original team have departed i still want to see the games come back.
>>
>>334337630
Why is it shit?
>>
>>334337760

They focused on all the most irrelevant aspects of the franchise in detriment of what actually made the franchise something cool.

Current SE is the definition of looks over substance. The games still look great graphically but the worlds no longer feel new or interesting... the worlds are not different enough.

The company is focusing on making the next FF VII instead of creating the next FF.
They have given in to sequels, prequels and movies... they are even making their games episodic now.

Characters lack even more design and deep than before... I mean, half of the cast is most times just there as an extension of the main characters or as plot devices instead of being actually developed but this is the most clear case since FF VIII where you can see a total lack of effort.

There are tons of problems with this real time style too... they have been trying it since XII and just can't get it right despise the fact that they actually developed good real time battle systems for other games before.

Development times are getting ridiculous too... to the point we get what? one FF for generation? (and sequels so they can use the same engine and re-utilize assets).

They have really gone downhill.

I doubt it, not because the game itself gets the basics wrong. Terrible framerate, terrible jaggies everywhere and in general a really poor image quality. I tried the demo or whatever, but all those issues were just too big for me to get over it. I wanted to like it, but since they cant make the game playable in a way that doesnt make me puke, I cant force myself to get it.
Same with many other ps4 games, shit runs so badly and looks so smushy that its a pain in the ass to play anything. I really regret getting that fucking thing. IF there will be a PC port, I doubt it'll be good as all the previous Singleplayer FF games have had nothing but terrible ports. Unplayable all of them.

That's the deluxe edition

This is the regular cover art and it's reversible with just the logo on blank space on the other side.

FF13 did 7.1 million copies, so if it's any better than that shit and has a decent marketing budget than I can't see why it couldn't break 10mil after a couple years.

if all the characters are fleshed out with their own, unique personality, quirks and backstories then I don't see a problem with that whatsoever

in fact, if they go the "bro-op" route I imagine 3 characters you're REALLY close with could have a stronger impact than 8 characters you're only semi-close with

but again, all that depends on how well they pull of the characterization

I don't understand the complaint with the sprinting.
In ED I almost never ran out of breath because you know how long you can sprint after the first few times.
I fear that we will get a big fat prompt like the warp strike one to tell us "Hey your stamina is running out"

What are you talking about?
The designs in FFXV are great and the world looks interesting.

also not the case in FFXV

Tabata stated there is buffs to increase run speed

Even if they advertise the fuck out of it, and it turns out to be the holy grail of JRPGs, I don't think it would be able to sell 10mil. The JRPG market is not mainstream anymore. If it was that good I think it would get people talking and make that market bigger giving later entries the possibility to sell that much, but that shit aint happening overnight.
>>
>>334361192
The pre-orders were going crazy for this game.
It took the game two weeks to lose its position in the top ten pre-orders on amazon in multiple countries.
Normies are more excited for it than for any other FF.
I think 10 million lifetime sales are definitely a possibility.
>>
Never played a FF game before but this one has got me hype as fuck. love the trailers, story synopsis, the idea of going on a journey with bros across the country in a flying car, picking up bitches, camping, hunting in forests, caves, swamps at night or morning. Looks like a big fucking adventure and i want to be apart of it. Really love the lighting and animations in the game too, yesterday I wasted an hour just teleporting around the building and playing around with the shield and shurikens.

I dont need to know any other ffs to play this one right?

It still maintains its Top 10 status, actually. Right now (PS4 version):
Amazon.com - No.4
Amazon.de - No.4
Amazon fr. - No.9
Amazon.jp - No.1, No.4, No.11
Amazon.es - No.4
Gamestop - No.10

It got nudged out of the top spots by DS3/UC4 which are coming out right now, but still maintains one hell of a hold.
>>
>>334361683
I do think there is a lot of interest but SE has only broken those kind of numbers when they had perfectly ideal conditions (JRPGs mainstream, lots of advertising, quality reputation, and quality product). The conditions just aren't as good. I know that the garming market is a lot larger now than it was when the best selling FF games came out, but none of my gamer friends even know about this game. I frequently run into people who say that are interested in the FF series, but don't because they don't understand that every game is a standalone, and think they will be missing the story if they just dive into a recent or popular one.
>>
>>334362537
Thats great. this game really brings me back to the early 2000s in middle and high school. reminds me of the myspace/goth/emo kid crowd and they wouldve fucking loved this game back then. shit all the kids who played games at my school were huge fans of final fantasy and kingdom hearts. I thought ff was garbage but kh was great. In a way this game takes me back to those times, when emo fashion was in

Not unrealistic. It really depends on what other games will get released during the time.
It will probably compete with cowadoody and fail though.

>>334362683
JRPGs were far from mainstream when VII came out. Square and Sony made them mainstream with VII and even then it mostly extended to FF. If you look up the sales numbers, most "classic" PS1 JRPGs never cracked a million. Square was also rather niche back then, so its reputation didn't mean much.

I do agree with you to a certain extent, but the pre-VII climate wasn't that great either.

This is a Game Informer podcasr, but the first 38 minutes is all them putting out details on their playthroughs.

A lot of concerns are taken care of here, you can go off road, you can crash onto monsters and other things and damage your ride, car tries to help people who can't drive well not fuck up, you can go off the beaten path and the "linear style" doesn't stop that, feels like going through parts of older games (one of the guys used going from Midgar to Junon as an example, so it's not like you will have walls, it'll be that the next area has realistic obstacles and place you will have to traverse to go forward), and you have plenty of secrets and caves to discover as early as chapter 1. Rides will be semi long, and you will have ways to skip longer travel times later, implying fast travel like stuff. Character dialogue between the bros will be dynamic to help work out the long trips. Tabata loves 6, guys say fans of earlier games have huge surprises waiting, he might have also been coy by saying no Tonberries, as the GI staff found a glimpse in a monster file while looking in places.

All in all, said that Square and Tabata's team is not BS'ing about transparency and working hard to facilitate their fans l, but also to he as creative as they can to make a good game and great experience.

Since they are working out ways to indulge learning about the character relations even in the dynamics of just walking around with them, I have no doubt it'll be enriching.

Instead of just learning about characters in cutscenes and "special" scenes, you are interacting along the way and bonding with them like an actual journey.

It's from their youtube channel, they wanted to do in depth with their playthroughs in Japan on the podcast past the cover interviews.

And no prob, I will be glad if people are comforted by these candid talks. If you can believe it, they say they have even more stuff on the way.

Most likely I don't expect more than 2~3 million sales.

Shipped is the only metric publishers care for. It's what goes into their financial statements and also the most accurate metric because they have no way of tracking every single sale.

>>334311138
XIII sold around 5 million so around there would be where XV would stand since this is tailored as the next iteration of final fantasy. New characters, new setting, etc.

Of course I don't count XIII-2 and LR because those who didn't enjoy XIII didn't really want to buy the sequels to them.

Newcomers will come and might enjoy XV. Some diehards are pissed, some are meh about the changes

I'm staying for the story and music. Dudebro squad sounds fun.

But honestly I don't expect the game to sell more than 5 million in this generation.
>>
>>334366783

it's mainly a tech demo to showcase time-of-day/weather.

The combat is really basic, but you can do some neat shit with adult Noct.

Kid noct controls like shit, I dunno why.

Maybe because he's an 8 year old kid with zero combat skills or reflexes.
