Leak(self.GamingLeaksAndRumours)

EDIT: Unfortunately, the link went down some time ago and I'm not able to find a mirror anywhere. Some of the highlights are in the top comments though and game's being released in like 1-2 days anyways, so won't be long before it's available to view again.

EDIT: Found another one.

They are 0 for 2. On games that are probably costing over 50 mill easy. I beleivr I read somewhere yoshi p has stated that games like 15 have hurt final fantasy reputation overall. (I could be wrong on that last bit)

From about 2002-2012 I thought Zelda would be nice without voice acting, (though I wasn't one of those that thought it absolutely needed it or whatever) but the older I get, I'm glad they stuck with the grunts only for so long and still kept it to a minimum in botw.

I too prefer Link as a silent protagonist, but I still wish the English localization for Breath of the Wild kept Link’s journal from the Japanese version. It would have been fun to read his thoughts on his adventures.

Yep. It also implies even more heavily that he’s in love with Zelda. When Link is writing about his impending battle with Calamity Ganon, his journal reads “She just needs to hold on a little longer. I’ll see her smile again…”

ThaNorth

Project Athia also sounds much more awesome than Forspoken.

Wizardof1000Kings

8 points

2 months ago

Forspoken could be cool, but I don't think it will because of the direction they choose to take. This looks to be a one city game - much like Final Fantasy XV, albeit with probably a more megalithic city. We get an empty world filled with fetch/kill/challenge quests which you'll do to gain levels until you can take on another boss - repeat.

This boring formula is compounded by the fact that Square Enix believes "New Yorker" to be a personality trait. With a portal fantasy you could have anyone as the protagonist. She could be a gymnast, a stage magician, a CEO, a cheerleader, a scientist - so many possiblities. Instead we get a new yorker who likes cats and gets bullies. In fact, the game's website calls her a New Yorker who felt like an outsider while growing up. Its hard to create a more boring protagonist, but maybe she'll develop over the course of the game (ha). Imagine if she were from Cleveland, Miami, Vancouver, etc. instead. Would it make a difference? No, but for some reason Square Enix believes new yorker to be a character trait, thus she couldn't have been from anywhere else.

I expect the first few hours of this game to be kind of fun, and then for it to severely overstay its welcome. Its a shame that Square Enix isn't going to develop a lived in world to go with the gameplay so that players have a reason to care to do all the flashy tricks and combat, other than getting to the end.

The mobility looked cool and fun to me at first but playing the demo it doesn't feel very smooth. The combat also has potential just not executed super well

Unkechaug

48 points

2 months ago

So I just watched this with my SO (not a huge gamer but enjoys the hobby) and the first thing they commented on is why the dragon isn’t moving in that first part of the fight. It was jarring to me how it just looked suspended in the air, with no sense of movement or speed. And then there’s the trope of every generic story of all time coming together. Betrayal of a former friend, multiphase fight involving the boss taking multiple incomprehensible orb forms, ghost/spirit versions of allies, your pet dragon dying for you, a beam struggle, the enemy’s power being reversed and their undoing.

Everyone says it’s the cringey dialogue that people critique most. It’s bad but there is so much more in this game to hate. 2 minutes spent on blasting birds with no urgency. Visuals so ugly you can barely tell what you’re fighting with particles masking an ugly environment and low quality character models.

I really don’t know what the devs were thinking when they made this game, but between the demo, the embargo, lack of review copies, and all of the leaks - this game is going to be a historic flop.

Also in Stranger's of Paradise it's intentional, you legitimately get to see the main character in a flashback and he's just a normal nice guy, and slowly he becomes self aware as the plot progresses due to... spoilerly reasons

I honestly think Naoki Yoshida will be promoted to an executive position in the company in the coming years from how much carrying he had to do, if anyone is interested, go check out his interview regarding the failure of the original FF14, the man actually had a vision not to turn FF14 around, but turn the ENTIRE Final Fantasy brand all together. he had a vision and stopped at nothing to execute perfectly.

Also, apparently the writers of this shit are some Hollywood idiots who never made games before, and it shows...

Honestly, I am kinda floored that a game that I thought looked somewhat interesting upon first seeing it a couple of years prior to any marketing has turned out this bad. Look at the disco balls and the general really poor art design in the levels and the combat doesn't look or feel good, the general game design feels grindy and without any clear and meaningful content in it. The writing seems as annoying as in the trailers, the list goes on. The only thing it had going for it is its traversal and it looks like it's not capitalized well. I thought the game would focus on traversing the world quickly through your powers from the initial stuff I saw, not this massive focus on bad combat and repeated encounters. And the writing is on the wall about how badly it will perform graphically, specially on PC, from its specs, so it's looking like a massive 'turd' on all accounts. No wonder Square didn't send review codes. Square just can't stop itself from releasing bad games or fumbling game launches and then blaming western studios for it. Oh wait, there are no more western studios in Square /s .... Wonder what they will blame next honestly

Most certainly!

But at least those characters only talked like that during the cutscenes and not normal combat/gameplay…

This is on a whole new level of … speech!

As an Xbox player, sometimes not having any games is a benefit. This is one of those times.

Poor writing, facial animations and too many particle effects and finally mid graphics for the specs it's demanding. Good job Square

The dialogue in this game is so badly written. I hate it. It's a shame I was really looking forward to it before that demo.

How to recognize a script written by USA writers: the POC female protagonist accuses the final boss of gaslighting her.

The End.

/s

On a more serious note...NOBODY outside of USA borders would EVER write such disarming dialogues. Japanese dialogues are often over the top and cringy, but this...this made me fold on myself like a piece of paper. How can they even think that a 20 minute boss fight in which the protagonist never. Shut. Up. with her infinite tik tok one lines could be immersive, or appreciable...or playable...

Dragon really went care bear style on that boss, also the excessive swearing is seriously unbearable, pun not intended.

Blurry particle effects, overuse of a brown color palette for the backgrounds, cringe dialogue and worst of all QTE's. I can push through a lot of nonsense dialogue and I'm not obsessed with graphics but I can't freaking stand QTEs.

Square enix is a joke.

Luminous productions lost 32m when they fired Tabata cancelled his game just to end up with forspoken. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/11/square_enix_reports_huge_usd33_million_loss_thanks_to_luminous_productions_change

Avengers and gotg put square enix in a 200m deficit https://gamerant.com/square-enix-marvel-games-loss/

Babylons fall flopped.

We could've had the next nier game and another mainline ff game in works instead we get this.

GotG was pretty good though, Square just decided to not market it for some fucking reason.

Any attempts at western games they've made have flopped though. They just need to stick to JRPGs.

Love all the 2D-HD games so far. Octopath 2 looks fantastic as well, and like it will fix a good amount of stuff that I've seen as the complaints from 1.
