Persona fanbase would buy this for 50$, skip the game, and watch the playthrough on YouTube to maximise the Larp.

@ughtwt FF 15 - 5 million sales on Day 1. In a single day.
FF 14 - 30 mil registered users
FF Rebirth - ~5 mil sales in over 2 years.
"Never been more popular"
Sure!!!

i don’t think u know what ur talking abt bruh final fantasy was nowhere as popular before the 7 remakes
SeriousShanks@SeriousShanks
I respect Maximillian, but these Remakes are also the highest-budgeted and most marketed JRPGs in history, and yet they have completely failed to expand the Final Fantasy fanbase, which is, in fact, shrinking, as the majority don't hate these. They simply don't care for them.

To be clear-
I am not hating on these games.
I was commenting on the insane glazing that Max, whom I respect, does for these games.
Max brought up review scores and award nominations, and said that a "VERY large majority of people are into this shyt".
Which I disagree with.

He is spitting 100% complete facts It’s always just been a vocal minority that chooses to be toxic and I’ll never be gaslit into believing it’s this massive 50-50 divide grifters try to paint it as

@yozahir @SendoDX I welcome the PS5 slander, but you also have to admit that gaming has grown a lot since 2016.
Also, FF15 was released in November 2016. PS4/Xbox One had a total install base of around~75 mil by the end of 2016.
And shouldn't Rebirth have sold better when PS5 has no other games!
English
@SeriousShanks @SendoDX FF15 did have the benefit of launching on prime userbase PS4/Xbone instead of Playstation "No Games" 5 😭

@TheBaronMrk This wasn't a criticism of the work at all. We can't do that on tweets.
English
I find the "It got a TGA goty nomination, so it's good" a bad defense, there are many things to say about all FF7 games, BUT this one is such a useless criticism to move towards ANY work
Only those who work or invest money at SQEX should care if a game "fails to expand fanbases"

@TheBaronMrk I was criticising the glazing that Max does for these Remakes all the time, and including that video clip.
He started talking about nominations and Metacritic scores to paint a certain picture, so I brought up the insane budget, marketing and yet the declining popularity.
English
@snakxv Max and many fans refuse to admit how insane it sounds to anyone outside of the FF fanbase that they have to buy 3 games over 7 years to play a trilogy that is a reimagining of a single 1997 JRPG.
+my tweet was more against the glazing that Max does for these remakes all the time
English
probably because they’re splitting the FF7 remake into parts YEARS apart. I played CC and FF7 remake and I still need to play Rebirth and the 3rd and possibly 4th part of the game just to experience 1 final fantasy game.
This why I liked FF16 better I got the whole package

@SendoDX FF 15, the 81 Metacritic mediocre ass FF game, sold 5 million copies, on day 1... in 2016...
FF 14, although an MMO, has constantly driven Square Enix towards profit each financial year with 30 million registered players.
FF 7 Rebirth has barely sold <5 mil copies in 2 years.
English
@SeriousShanks I became a final fantasy fan because of the first part of remake.
What metrics are we using to say they’re somehow “shrinking” the fanbase?
English
@Spooky_GoblinX @AntifaCostanza I am not defending the haters, man!
I am just against the insane glazing Max does for these Remakes.
Talking about data, it is clear from sales that a large section of people who bought Remake didn't even bother to buy Rebirth.
81 metacritic FF15 sold 5 mil copies on day 1!
English
@SeriousShanks @AntifaCostanza Not caring about a product is not the same as the minority online that constantly assert that a large portion of the people who play these games didn’t like them and hate them. The data just does not show that.
English
@AntifaCostanza I agree with you 100%. I remember the first day 5 mil sales hype for FF15.
I am not blaming just these Remakes for everything wrong with Sq Enix or FF franchise, but am saying that these remakes aren't being hated by some minority. People don't care about them/FF as much anymore.
English
@SeriousShanks The FF fanbase shrinking is the fault of everything that came before it. Especially FF XV, and I don't think you remember the level of hype and marketing around that one

ゲームが巨大産業になり、海外だけでなく日本国内でも属人化が廃され始めている昨今、好きなクリエイターを問われてこうして日本のクリエイターの名前がたくさん挙がるのは、とても誇らしく、晴朗たる気持ちになりますね…
俺の名前ないけど…笑

@Budday01 Perhaps Xenoblade/Persona/Tales/Fire Emblem and other smaller JRPGs have steadily taken away some of the traditional JRPG audience from FF. Might be one of the factors at play here.
English
@SeriousShanks They are still the highest selling JRPG franchise mind you and still the strongest in japan sales. Shrinking is to be expected when you started off so high up from the get go, no genre is able to sustain highs. They're just giving room for other jrpgs in the genre to grow.

I drew the cover art for the article "Shadow of the Colossus: An oral history" on Design Room, launched yesterday.
As it is the 20th anniversary of the release, Fumito Ueda and other people involved in the project talk about the time of development.

If games like this can sell 5 million copies in less than 10 days on Steam, then you have to wonder what the fck was Microsoft doing over the last decade and how they let studios make overproduced games that took 6-7 years to make and didn't sell 1 million copies!

@PaulTassi The whole concept of AI content is abhorrent, but you are deluding yourself if you think the masses aren't already consuming AI content and loving it because they don't care. They care about their momentary entertainment.
Soon, they'll replace CGI in movies with full Gen AI, too
English
I may be in a bubble here, but I don't think this idea that genAI will start being more broadly accepted in creative projects has panned out, even as the tech has gotten technically better.
There's just relentless hate for AI movie, game, written content, and there are essential no tangible successes with these sorts of things outside of the rare song that may trick people on Spotify. Mindsets don't seem to be changing much, if at all. Or they're even getting more critical.
AI technical tool use is another story, but actual, generated creative ("creative") work remains ass
English
A game can be greater than the sum of its parts.
There is literally nothing that Breath of the Wild does better than other games. Neither combat, nor interactivity, story(lmao), puzzles, exploration, etc.
And yet BOTW is simply breathtaking
GTA's fun lies in its chaos and freedom
PunishedColonel@PurpleColonelSP
GTA is the Avatar of video games. Lowest common denominator stuff. Nobody's ever praised the quality of GTA's vehicle controls, or the combat, or the story, or the movement mechanics, it's just the game that has all of those things and does it well enough in a big world.
