In the case of Theathrythm, its because they reduced the entire series to just the music and basic character archetypes. You lost all the shitty story, plot twists, voice acting and everything else that makes main series FF games so annoying.

Game is nice but hardly amazing. It's pretty braindead most of the time. They try to do a pokemon thing with weaknesses and strengths but in the end levels end up mattering more than anything. So you can beat the game quite easily with whatever you want. Reynn was hot though and had some killer legs and a nice butt. Also

I also forgot the skills. While it doesn't seem that important, customizing your characters with classic FF skills is more fun than you'd think it would be. Just like how customizing skills is the only fun part of FFTactics. So Theathrythm already is juast as fun as FFTactics.

But then the main gameplay also turned out to be fun. And also more challenging than a typical FF game. Despite being basically Osu! If people could just look past the chibi character design, they'd probably agree this is one of the best games in the series.

>>388280264
If there's one thing i'll give modern Square games, if they don't have painted-on faces then the facial expressions are pretty fucking great because they still handcraft them rather than your usual facial motion capture hijinks (maybe FFXV aside, but I still think they handcrafted the facial animations). So when it's time for a close-up in a cutscene, they have a lot more nuance than most other games on the market. The Kingdom Hearts games especially do hand-done lip syncing to the vocal tracks so it's not off in either Japanese or English usually.

Xenoblade Chronicles X in comparison just has set character expressions and loose lip sync, and it can come off as pretty damn stiff despite the rest of the game being pretty good.

If you don't care about Souls and SMT then no, there's no reason to own a PS4. That's not widespread japanese support, it's two extremely narrow niches. I was planning to buy a PS4 for Ys 8 and Cold Steel 3 but then the former got announced for PC and the latter almost certainly will too.

>>388280596
This idea that all the other drastic changes to the battle system over the years were A-Okay but having real time combat suddenly makes it unacceptably different is fucking retarded. It's Final Fantasy, it's built to change. I like turn based combat as much as anyone, but endlessly whining about Final Fantasy of all things not having consistency between entries in the series is laughably stupid.

The whole point of the series is to take drastic departures and try new things. Saying "it's too different" is utterly retarded, it could have been a fucking FPS and as long as it had RPG elements and an interesting setting, it would have been just as valid a Final Fantasy game as any other because there is literally no cohesion between entries in the series.
>>
>>388280451
>implying the entire industry isn't in love with grinding
Take a look at the most popular games. Every multiplayer game is now a progression grind and that's not even mentioning the godawful first person Diablo clones that are starting to clog the market like Destiny, Borderlands and Anthem which are literally nothing but grinding, they might as well be multiplayer cookie clicker.
>>
>>388281239

Frankly, the real time combat was a refreshing change of pace after the other 14.

It just needed a little polish, and a better (read: not terrible) story to wrap it around.

I take it you utterly despise the ATB games then, hm? After all they overhauled completely the pure turn based system of the early entries and added your much hated real time elements.

>If you like Action RPGs, play Kingdom Hearts, don't demand FF become a Kingdom Hearts clone.
Remember when Kingdom Hearts got a weird card game spin off that ended up being extremely important to the series storyline? Remember how it was embraced by the community and was fairly well liked and wasn't endlessly whined about by autists who couldn't accept change?

I played the demo and I thought the systems were really neat and the boss was fun to fight against since you had to topple her in order to remove chunks of her strength or enhance her weaknesses. But holy shit is everything so slow and every animation seems to take forever. I mean, it could be partially low level stuff like having such low speed means a big delay between either party's attacks, but I don't think I'm going to buy the game if I have to fast forward though the whole thing like 12.

He didn't say "traditional turn based", he just said "turn based". Every mainline FF was some variation of turn based combat, even XI, XII, XIII and XIV are.

It's an okay game but you have to be a major contrarian to say it's the best anything. The combat was braindead and way too slow, the story was awful, the new characters were mostly bland, and the cameo characters were all Flanderized.

This is pretty much what it's become, and it's annoying to see "purists" get pissy about action combat, or those trying to bitch that all turn-based combat was outdated and needed to go.

Because despite each game changing it up from game to game the base gameplay was still the same.

XV has some of the worst real time combat systems ive had the displeasure of playing. It's a complete fucking mess.

It was so weird, in a good way, hearing all those deep male voices come out of tiny chibi bodies.

Record Keeper is better in every way

it's p2w, yes. It's generic gachashit. throw money at it until you get the good characters, shit all over the event stuff, new event comes out that requires the new hot stuff so you throw more money at it to get them.

They're reasonably generous with currency to get free rolls for characters but it's still all rng based.

Only game that ever did it right was record keeper. You could beat the hardest shit with free characters no problem if you trained and equipped them properly.

It had fantastic music though.

>>388282714
Anon I like XV a lot but let's not pretend the combat isn't shallow as fuck. Even the DS Kingdom Hearts games have more in-depth combat.

>It had fantastic music though.

even bad games can have good music because music is like the one thing that can not be crippled by shitty game direction, bad hardware, bad gameplay, etc... when it comes to games.

Unless you use intentionally shit music. Like wubstep for DmC

it's p2w unless you spend 10 hours rerolling

>FFX has the same gameplay as FF7 has the same gameplay as FFXII
Do you FFXV shitposters even play the series?
>>
>>388283029
you're retarded, this is about gameplay, not settings.

my god the amount of autism...
>>
>>388283648
Yeah but since we're talking about a crossover with a rhythm game, the quality of the music is more important than the quality of the game itself. Hell, Nier got music in Theatrhythm, that's a FAR worse game than Cross.

>Nier worse than Chrono Cross
I will fight you on this, and I say this as someone who likes Cross

>>388283825
Nier is genuinely a bad game though.
>Abysmal graphics
>Terrible performance
>Janky combat
>Fetch quests are Korean MMO tier
>Platforming is incredibly awkward
>Grinding for drops is terrible
The only fun thing about Nier is messing around with Weiss' different abilities.
>>
>>388283825
Chrono Cross has an ambitious story with some terrible writing here and there and some really good writing elsewhere, great art design, a great combat system, a terrible cast and an incredible soundtrack.

Nier has an ambitious story with okay writing, mediocre art design, a terrible combat system, a good cast and an incredible soundtrack.

I'd say they're about tied but Cross takes it because I think it has more interesting ideas.

>>388281239
While I agree that FF should change up the battle system, for the majority of the series up to IX the battle system was building up from the previous game, X was a radical change, people complained so they reverted back to the ATB in X-2, XI was an MMO so they had to change it again but then XII turned XI system into an evolution of the ATB. From XIII onward they didn't know what to do with the system anymore.

I don't think FF is or needs to be turn based, but it is mostly command based, you tell a party of characters what to do, XII had the right idea into making real time combat in the map with the gambits so you don't have to stop every time to tell everyone what to do but still keep total control but then XIII went to far ahead in simplifying it. I haven't played XV yet but if it doesn't have any sort of party control then the series is going backwards.

Actual best low budget Square Enix spin-off released in 2016 coming through WoFF was pretty fun though

>XIII went to far ahead in simplifying it.
Except that's the only system to add some sort of mechanical nuance to ATB. From refreshing your bar, to cancelling strings to prolong a launch on an enemy to queuing one spell in a class and then changing before it goes off to change the effect of it. It's the only time they actually warranted using ATB since it did something that couldn't have been achieved with a typical turn base system.

It's your fault for not looking more into it.

>>388284134
has the price dropped?

$60 seems much to spend on a Minecraft clone and I played the demo

you can order them to use items but they basically run around and occasionally attack enemies.

Probably because suddenly each game is having entirely different directive leads because the Square-Enix merger fucked the company hard enough that they've had to mix things up since FFX. If people want their classic Final Fantasy-style fix besides Bravely Default, something like Lost Odyssey is like a lost title (and compatible with Xbox One, too) thanks to being directed by the former head of Square.

When they lost the people in charge that had cohesive game design mindsets, every game since then has experimented and switched it up radically off of the backbones of past titles. These are the same games that now get most of the criticism post-merger, spinoffs and bad mobile games aside.

>probably because it was a bad sequel and disliked by the fans.
By that logic half the extra games wouldn't be in there. Or half the FF games.

The more logical reason is either problem getting the rights for the music or they planned it for a later release and just didn't bother.

>Chrono Cross sucks!
>no Nier does
>fuck you!
>fuck you too!
Idiots.

>a terrible combat system
I disagree wholeheartedly. The melee combat is pretty shallow, but once you're no longer stuck with the shitty one-handed swords and can use the MUCH better two-handers the combat gets much more satisfying. The real fun comes with the magic system, which is both unique and satisfying to use. The only problem with it is having to wait for your magic bar to refill.
>mediocre art design
Even if the in-game graphics didn't do it justice, the art design is incredible and one of my favorite things about the game. It perfectly captures the aesthetic of a world that has moved on.

It's already dropped to $30-40 in Australia (It was released as a full-price $90 game here originally), so I'm assuming it's done it internationally as well.

>>388279429
so this is spiral energy...not bad...

>>388283136
Mobius is better. Surprisingly merciful for gachashit too.
>>
>>388284391
It's about $30 right now, which is honestly probably a bit pricey for some considering the sequel's already announced.
>>
>>388284391
>has the price dropped?
$30 on amazon US right now. About the same on Walmart

I was a bit disappointed about the lack of a character equip screen. At the very least the mirage boards were a fun way to get new skills and mirages.
>>
>>388284353
I meant in the controlling party members department since you had far less control into what each party member could do than XII. Also, while I did look into it, is not my fault that after hours of tutorials and a long ass compendium the game never bother to explain the intricacies of the paradigm shift.
