Final Fantasy general

Already freed up enough space on my PS 4 for it. Thank goodness Persona 5 Royal doesn’t take that much space. And to confirm what I posted a page or two ago, the game will be available to pre-load this Thursday.

Has anyone in the thread gotten the game early?

I'm holding out for a physical copy so I'm getting mine late.

Everyone always says Jessie is thirsty but outside of the line she gives after they leave the train I just don't hear it.

"My hero!"

"Aww, are you choosing me over the reactor? That's sweet, but I can wait my turn."

"Just keep those baby blues of yours on me!"

"Real nice to look at too."

"Looks are what people notice first."

"Hey none of my business, but are you fucking Tifa?"

It's like, roughly half her dialogue.

Wait did she really say that last one?

I mean. I'm paraphrasing a bit with that one.

Kinda wish we had the option to save one of the Avalanche, but that just not gonna happen

Broke: Saving Aeris.

Woke: Saving Jessie.

Bespoke: Saving Cait Sith MKI.

100 GB!?

guys have you heard of compression?

Somebody wake me up when it comes out for PC.

I imagine the remake will be a console exclusive for a while,sucks they gotta sell their consoles somehow

1-2 years is likely. Even Sony’s games are hitting pc now.

It would feel wrong to play the Remake on a system that isn't the PS 4 & yet at the same time it does feel unfair for the systems that can handle the Remake are getting excluded.

I was genuinely talking about having the option to save one of the Avalanche members see how they react aftermath to Midgar, but I seriously doubt that idea ever cross any of the developers' mind

It was less than a year for XII:TZA to be ported to Steam and just over a year for Wo FF. IIRC, there's a year of contractual PS 4 exclusivity for VIIR so I expect a Steam port not long after that period ends.

Console exclusivity is becoming a relic and it's sad. Granted, Final Fantasy started on the Nintendo system.

Enlighten me how the end of such stupid anti-consumer practice ending is a bad thing.

The same reason people like specific football teams instead of there just being one big team - competition is entertaining.

Not when it forces me to spend thousands for another console just so I can play a game, it's not.

Exclusivity is bullshit, that's all there is to it.

Exclusivity is anti-competitive. It means people can't play games they want unless they buy extra hardware. It reduces sales of sales of software. I don't know why any developer or publisher would put up with it (other than first-party titles, of course).

I'd imagine the cut to the developer is higher in case of exclusivity.

Or some other benefit.

I agree to disagree. Console exclusivity is dying out and that's for certain. There are pluses (less money wasted) and minuses (fewer mascots) to that shift.

I grew up not having a lot of consoles so I get it - having all my eggs in one basket would have been neat. But in hindsight a lot of what I actually enjoyed about gaming came from the inability to play everything on any console, and the constant race to own everything, arguing with my friends over which system was better.

As a hobby it's a lot less gratifying without the brands fighting each other for exclusive titles, bullshit or not.

I didn't mention software sales. I said competition was entertaining. Competition between systems with exclusive titles was entertaining.

"Entertaining" perhaps from the point of view of a disinterested party who gets gratification from seeing companies fight each other, but not so great for a consumer who just wants to play games.

If the console manufacturers want to make exclusive first-party titles, that's their right and I won't challenge it. Third-party publishers, though...

Edited by Fighteer on Apr 2nd 2020 at 9:42:20 AM

I mean unless there's some law that passed that I never heard off, Third Party games making their games console exclusive is ALSO their right.

Nintendo will never let their games on PC though. Thats something I'm fine with for them.

For multiplatorm games, it depends on how they run on which system, and I don't have the money to build a high end PC, nor do I have the time to update it every other day.

Nintendo has always banked on exclusivity. No point in fighting it.

Of course it is their right; I'm saying it's against their self-interest. Square could sell additional copies of their games if they don't make them exclusive. It's simple math.
