I presume you're the same person that ALWAYS rags on FFXV whenever this comes up, and like?? I don't know what you're talking about?? FFXV sold over 8.9 million copies, which literally means it outsold every other FF save for XIV's latest expansion (and that's only bc XIV is an MMO). The project was given to Tabata because Nomura had produced nothing on VsXIII in over a decade-- which, I mean, of course? He was putting all of his resources into KH3 at the time. Tabata did what he could with what he was given and produced a well-received, if imperfect game. It's not fair to call FFXV "a goddamned mess" when literally every single Final Fantasy is rough around the edges and imperfect.

Nomura has produced nothing because again, Square kept throwing shit at him and SCRAPPING whatever work he did. KH3 took so long to get off the ground because they literally decided to SCRAP the engine it was being worked on a few years in. AND then they had to wait for approval on Disney who needed to give them the literal assets from their movies. AND then they threw Nomura on FFVIIR. So yeah no fucking shit he had no work done on Versus. Because Square mismanaged the fuck out of him, which they’ve been doing since 13.

I didn’t say FFXV sold bad. What happened is they gave Tabata a studio and the man up and quits and costs Square 33 MILLION and decided to take his ball home with him and OVER STREAM. No shit Square is gonna be mad at the person who does that when less than a few months later Nomura shits out KH3 and sells like hot cakes to recoup that loss.

And yes, FFXV is a “goddamn mess” the game had to be patched REPEATEDLY to make sense of the story, no one really could make sense of the plot, basic combat needed to be patched in, not to mention the paid DLC to fill in important plot stuff. And that’s not a bag on Tabata. That’s a bag on Square for mismanaging the game so badly they decided to Frankenstein it together from barebones notes in the span of a few years. To deny the development cycle of FFVX as being a mess is ignorant as fuck compared to how streamlined Kitase/Sakaguchi directed FFs are.

Hell, even FFXIV (which is an MMO rather than a single-player game) has a much better/more coherent story than XV does, and the dev team had to basically completely reinvent that game after its initial failure.

I'm pretty sure other Final Fantasy games have sold more than 8.9 million copies. I mean, VII sold 11 Million. The only reason FFXV sold so many was because it got a PC release at a later date. That always shores up numbers, because console games have the capacity to buy it again if they also use the PC, as well as it pulling in pure PC gamers.

FFXV was a goddamn mess, though. And I say this as a fan of it. I enjoyed it at the time and spent a tremendous amount of time on it, even got platinum on it. But it was a mess. The amount of patches and improvements that constantly had to be released were way worse than any of the other games. Sure, so the 1/35 soldier minigame wasn't finished, but that's nothing compared to some of the glaring omissions and crossed wires in FFXV.

Again, I really liked it. It remains one of my main fandoms and a game I go back to. But it's perfectly acceptable for people to rag on it, because it's more than just imperfect. It was a complete clusterfuck, from release to Episode Ardyn.

Yeah like.... I liked paying it but it was a mess. A big one.
