What exactly went wrong with this Franchise?
Final Fantasy used to be my go to thing when I wanted to enjoy a fun, long adventure game with a weird twisting plot and memorable characters.

But now I play this game and feel nothing but disappointment, it's only like 20 hours making it the shortest FF game by far and has basically no plot or characters to speak of.

I mean it looks nice but outside of that it seems to be outdone by practically ever other franchise when it comes to the thing I care about.

What about FF16?
Will that be disappointing too?

The last offline FF was split into 3 games and a chick simulator, so they tried to do everything the opposite

Every time its just an excuse to pad the game. Its shit every single time.

FF16 will be Kingdom Hearts 3.2

Square-Enix doesn't have any competent directors left to work on FF. Sakaguchi left, Matsuno left, and Nomura is too busy making Kingdom Hearts. All the other directors are hacks.

You grew out of them.

The talent left or retired.

I liked it, sure it could have been better and is not the best FF out there but it's not as bad as people make out to be.

What do you like about FF XV
>>
>>376669031
Well the company is in charge of making the game and they've decided that the old way of making FF was outdated so they throw whoever they can in the directors seat.

Maybe if Nomura stayed it would've turned out differently but who knows, it could've been his choice to give it up directing but I doubt it.

I think they're wrong in thinking that turn-based games are over, something like Bravely Default still did really well despite it. (Although the brave system was fucked, which is a shame because conceptually it's really cool.)

U still salty over Hitman? Consider cliff jumping.

I do wonder where it went wrong....

Another ten years would have been wasted while he tried to figure out what the hell he wanted to do while wasting time and resources on tech demos and trailers.

>Shitty pontiac
>Shitty story that's half cut out for a CG movie & anime
>MMO quests
>Yoko Shimomura tracks that were leftover rejects from KH
>Real-time style-over-substance combat
>RL product placement. Coleman, Cup Noodle were bad enough, but AMERICAN express in a fantasy world? Holy shit.

And the list goes on and on. The game is the most cynical, vacuous example of design-by-committee AAA horseshit I've ever seen. It's just a giant empty souled clusterfuck.
