The plain ass sneakers on Jed are killing me. These three are seriously so bland it's almost bending back into being interesting.
You know the more I think about this the more frustrating it is.
Why is this game coming to Xbox, but you know, a Final Fantasy game that actually might sell on Xbox (say like FFXVI or FFVII-R) SE is super coy on?
How did the rumors of this being PlayStation exclusive miss so hard?

I'm honestly glad Sabat has become the "canon" voice for Garland. He has such good voice for a blowhard like Mr. Knock You All Down.
I think broken telephone of "exclusive demo to playstation" became "playstation exclusive"
How could SE mention 012 in that press release and not tease a remaster? Why?
I thought people were exaggerating for the memes.
And then I watched the trailer myself.
Holy hell, what were they thinking? This is probably the worst trailer for a high-profile game I've ever seen. Horrible visuals, kindergarten-level storytelling, voiceovers and music that don't match the action on the screen... To imagine that someone, somewhere greenlit this trailer boggles my mind.

SE would never go the Dante's Inferno route on that one. XD
Huh. Yeah that makes sense.
Either way, I'd love to be there in SE's board room when they're deciding what games go what systems. Like what is there strategy, because I don't see it.
Did they line these trailers up in front of Sony and ask, "so, which of these would you like to buy exclusivity for?" And Sony was like "this one and this one but hahaha oh no. Nononono. Not this one. What were you guys thinking? So much chaos. Lol, Microsoft can have that one. It'll be funny."
Heh, this is a bit exaggerated IMHO.
For each of those baffling fuckups, there is at least two successes, whether commercially, critically or both, especially since 2016 onwards. Not that fuckups do not exist, mind you, but they have as many as most other large companies have. You are definitely right about mainline FFs though, although I'd close an eye on XIV because how it turned out and XVI extremely promising (read: mainline FFs are fine as long as YoshiP is on it), FFVII also is a smashing success.
And this is just a spinoff, probably a cheap one at that; In a couple of years it will be mostly forgotten outside of some memes.
OP

I am gonna slow down the XIV fans a little here. Its fun to meme this game but you all really crapping on Nomura, Kitase, Tabata while lifting up the guy who has worked on ONE successful game and piggybacking off the success of successfully copying WoW and just learning to always lean into the easy and safe decisions, while monetizing XIV as much as humanly possible. Yoshi-P was given everything, the whole of the company, to make XIV succeed. No one at Square gets that kind of support.
He's made many a middling games before. Even after XIV (DQ Builders anyone?), so I really don't think people should be throwing rocks from glass houses.

Why do you view it as contempt? They give their teams latitude to make new stuff that seems interesting to them, or what they think is the right choice for the future. Some are going to hit, some are going to miss. Plain as that, no? I don't understand how you would intuit that they're genuinely hateful or scornful of FF (when you say they treat it specifically with contempt).
I'm loving all the CHAOS memes that the trailer spawned and I do think everything shown is edgy as hell but I still think this'll be good.
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall as this game was written/conceived. What kind of fucked up creative process (in a franchise as big as Final fucking Fantasy) doesn't have someone step in at some point before now to tell whoever's in charge that it fucking sucks?
The thing that boggles my mind, and this is like, completely separate from how the game looks, or sounds (or will play) or how the demo is still borked (which, you know, can happen).
It's that the game's english language website never went up. It's in the press release, it's on the game's twitter bio... but the website just doesn't exist. It's so strange. I guess it's not priority, but the japanese language website went up without issues the moment the game was announced.

If by contempt you mean they give their creatives the freedom to create all types of crazy shit then no. I don't view that as a bad thing, though.

Wait.. Nomura is working on this…like get my kingdom heart obsession and rub it all over FF7 Remake Nomura? Oh I hope he's just there as a kindness.
Im so sick of him fucking up stories and making everything complicated.

I mean, it's known that Nomura was the one that wanted less changes on the remake, so this is kinda uncalled for.

Oh, well I withdrawn that statement then. I remember reading an article that shifted the blame onto him , if that's not the case then nevermind. But who/what caused that train wreck at the end I hope doesn't come into this.No.

Nojima was the one that wanted it to revolve around Fate, wasn't he? While Nomura has his faults, Nojima's probably the main culprit in some of the more outlandish concepts in FFVIIR, as well as in the Compilation as a whole, HELL, FF as a whole.
IMO, Nojima's fine at establishing "first installments" of a game world. Setting up ideas, lore and a main story. When it comes to sequels and prequels, basically "expanding a game's world", he sucks SOOOO much!
That was the co-director, no? He's the guy who's directing FFVIIR-2.
Been saying it, but Nomura's job is to tank all the criticism while Nojima's crimes against the medium go under the radar.
Yeah Nojima has been making terrible decisions for a long time, and somehow people always blame Nomura. It's not as if Nomura doesn't have his faults, but he takes the blame for everything. He's like a professional fall guy at this point.
Nojima trolled everyone with the FFVII / FFX-2 connection way back in FFX-2, and he saw that Square didn't push back against it, so he's been trolling more and more ever since. Stranger in Paradise is just the latest act in a long series of subtle (or less subtle) stunts.
The problem here doesn't seem to be Nojima. Nojima's responsible for the Story and Scenario, and that's something we know very little about.
Nomura's the Creative Director, the guy who came up with the concept, and the Character Designer. Each of those things is a miss right now. You can absolve the guy for maybe one thing, but there are too many things that he's credited for that just don't work.
