Square enix stocks are dropping after FFXVI reveal

If this game had "Nomura" plastered all over the trailer we wouldn't have this concern trolling.
You are taking my words extremely out of context and are making it look like I said things that I don't mean. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I never dismissed any opinion, even if they are just based on looks. I also never said that's an inferior way of looking at it, but I do think it's a bummer because disregarding a game just because of it's looks can make you miss out on great games. "not what they wanted" and "not next-gen" is pretty much the same thing if they wanted next-gen graphics, isn't it? One does not contradict the other. I only replied to Jawmuncher's question with what I experienced when the trailer dropped. That's all. Now please don't tag me anymore.
Yes we would. Why do you even keep bringing up Nomura in every FF thread unprovoked?
It has more on the FF channel and is overall #3 in views I believe (or 4?). Funnily enough its ranking how I think it will sell compared to titles above it :p
Though I do think the critics reception for this one will be really good and may push it higher.
Thats a weird take. I am playing this franchise for like ... uhhh 20 years now and this showed everything I creativly associate with a new FF title and then some.
Man people are strange when it comes to FF, guess that will never change. Always extreme hyperbole.
Yes we would.
This is what Final Fantasy is now because it has been so many things. XII, XIII, XV, XVI. Every single main offline FF is divisive in some form and it will cause the absolute worst "hot takes'" to appear.
Saying "I never dismissed an opinion" and then saying "Dismissing a game just because of it's looks can make you miss out on great games," automatically makes the first argument false.
Because since the announcement people have been comparing this title to FFXV/FFR7 and how does it look "generic" and "bad".
And no, if FFXVI looked like FF7R or FF XV art-wise and colorful we wouldn't have this concern trolling.
There's concern trolling and then there's the OP taking time out of their day to look at Square's stocks presumably in order to validate their belief that FFXVI isn't being well received.
Of course not, in a post FFX world this new mainline entry coming out the year following the reveal or in 2022 is pretty mindblowing
This means very, very little. I will say more generally that I think a lot of people expected a technical powerhouse from the next FF and a pretty CG trailer captures that audience normally. That Square used clearly mid-cycle gameplay footage is a lot more promising for me that this FF is really focusing on getting that aspect right over all else. Square get complaints when the trailers are target renders or 'care more about the graphics than the gameplay' but then also get flack when the opposite appears to happen. Let's just wait and see on this one. Not to derail too much but has what engine does this team typically use?
I mean, according to YouTube views if this dooms Square, there's also Athia with nearly 4M views only on PS channel that will save Square again!
Square just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese stocks (I'm an expert), but 3-minute trailer reveals and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by putting an Inception horn in your trailer. If you have a bad trailer in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXVI foreither system the one system it's on, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.
Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFXVI for PS5 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

This is fucking embarrassing, OP
To anyone reading this thread who might post bullshit like this in the future, read up how the market works.

Wow people are desperate to prove that this game isn't going to do well or that it isn't "what the fans want".
This is what happens when you combine an obnoxious agenda with a critical ignorance of how stocks work.
I know it's not far out from release, I was asking them why they think it is.
I mean I kinda expected at least 1 millions+ on the PS channel alone (Hogswart get 4.5 million in PS channel and 680k in IGN).
And in r/games the game only get 7100 upvotes (SMTV years ago get like 5000-6000 upvotes iirc) D:
I dunno I konda feel like the reveal is supposed to be a much bigger deal (not to mention its not CGI bullshot).
I actually feels super hyped watching the trailer.
Harry Potter is a trillion times more popular of an IP than Final Fantasy. Those views make sense.
Isn't that like one of the reasons a lot of companies are moving to closer to release announcements? For this specific case, from a shareholder perspective, it's a title everyone knew was coming, of course SE is making another FF game, but it being more than a year away is the disappointing part of the announcement if your main interest here is the financial return.
When you said far off from release I assumed you meant like 3+ years.
They're not dropping in a meaningful way at all. They closed down 0.29%. That's typical market noise.
I honestly don't know why this thread is still open. It's almost literally fake news.
I'm not the only person who is underwhelmed. This seems to be the most muted reaction to a mainline title I can remember. Precisely because it looks so generic and copy and paste-ish without anything that actually stands out compared to other titles.
How can you say that on a forum where people shit on Nomura at every opportunity lol
I mean, they did show mostly gameplay instead of bullshot CGI.
The art style definitely didnt blow me away but the stock will recover, as usual.

Final Fantasy is doomed!!
Call in the Avengers to save the day.... ah wait, that game is also doomed!?
Jokes aside... doesn't mean anything as most stock go up and down like a roller coaster when new news hits the media.
You have to analyze it over a longer time period.

The actual answer is that talking about FF is awful no matter what your preferences are lol
You reached the point where you're telling people they're in denial for not sharing your opinion so your thoughts on this are going to be hard to take seriously.
You don't like the look. It's okay.
