People wanted this in a Final Fantasy game? Versus and Nomura would have been BTFO not only by the Western market but also the Japanese unlike what you weeaboo buttfucks think.
X was peak Final Fantasy. Political plots ruined Final Fantasy.
And yes Tactics was unnecessary fuck you Yasumi Matsuno fuck you Tetsuya Nomura and most of all fuck you Stellafag.
IX is a close second but X had the perfect balance of shounen anime and Hollywood cinema which Final Fantasy is supposed to be.
Not Game of Thrones, not Gundam, and certainly not Death Note.
Ethan Flores
Jack is the best JRPG protag to ever exist.

whatever you say, Barry
Grayson Barnes
Barry is mega cringe. I'll prove it:
If Tabata kept the Duscae battle system while also adjusting it for the DLC content and integrating it into vanilla XV to make something even better than Royal Edition, it would've been perfect. The third best FF game of all time.
Exactly. I may hate the namefag and Nomura's preference for 'le ebin meaningful emotional complex narratives in a fucking video game' but the battle system didn't have to go. Fuck casuals.
Like Barry. Retard can't go around battles without spamming his potions everywhere.
James Long
Nomura lies a lot and never delivers. Where the fuck are his 'destructible environments, cloud movements, huge open areas, etc.' in FF7R? He directed that trash for 5 years and it's just a basic ARPG with hallway design, inconsistent graphics and Midgar being a JPEG. The skybox is a fucking JPEG.
Juan Bennett
Exactly. At least Tabata could've been more transparent than Nomura wasn't.
But there were Western casuals ruining Kanemori's work and he got fired because it was too hard for them to understand apparently. I'd rather have a gameplay system with a high AF skill ceiling than a bad movie plot that a fashion-obsessed false promises fuck thinks it belongs in a video game.
David Scott
Here's a 2015 interview with Nomura saying 7R won't have new characters.
He promised some of that in Versus but KH3 and FF7R are still designed like PS2 games.
Noah Gonzalez
That's so Nomura throwing a private party on KH's 20th anniversary telling the fans that the video with Q&A will be published a few days later.
Adrian Clark
Exactly. Tabata was at least more transparent than holding all those stupid closed door events.
A shame Square Enix didn't give him even more power.
Gavin Murphy
They needed to give Tabata two AAA flops like Forspoken to finally kill the company.
Michael Perry
Yes because Nomura's political science 101 Final Fantasy Ivalice ripoff would have been better than a compelling coming of age story.
Daniel Carter
>didn't promise it in 7remake so you lied then.
Caleb Rodriguez
>political science 101 Final Fantasy Ivalice ripoff would have been better than a compelling coming of age story. These are both versus.
Henry Baker
>He promised some of that in Versus
yeah, in VERSUS. Not 7r, you lying sack of crap
Hunter James
I'm pretty sure Versus was going to be about Nomura's fetish for gays trying to create positive societal change and failing at it. Not a badass motherfucker trying to reclaim his throne and pulling it off with style. Naora saved Noctis.
Nathaniel Ortiz
>Not a badass motherfucker trying to reclaim his throne and pulling it off with style that was in versus
Liam Williams
9 is literally r*ddit
Leo Gomez
Based Nomura. XVI unironically saved the series by valuing SOVL and PASSION over everything else to the improvment of the overall experience. Only read the greentext didn’t read the rest.
Jack Parker
>X was peak Final Fantasy. Political plots ruined Final Fantasy. Political plots have always been in Final Fantasy, up to and including 10, you stupid zoomer faggot.
Caleb Edwards
I don't see a problem with this. Nomura's always been good at emotional moments so an entire game about examining emotions sounds perfect for him.
Ethan Morgan
Well if it was, I'm glad there was no 'muh real world events' baggage bogging it down.
Matsuno and Nomura should just take what FFX did but better. You can't express these things adequately in video games, but no they and their butt buddies Hiroshi Takai and Tetsuya Takahashi will never learn.
William Johnson
>implying you can carry fine emotional moments over into video games instead of just extremely well-executed but more simple quests for triumph What, you're gonna say I should play the Kingdumb Sharts games too?
Nathaniel Anderson
I'm talking Star Wars prequel level stuff. You saw it in FFXII, you saw it in Xenogears, all the games that stupid namefaggot Stellafag thinks that makes a narrative 100000000x better fuck no.
You learn about those things as you go with Tidus learning about the sacrifices but you never ever EVER put it at the foreground of a game.
Ian Howard
I don't know if SoP really qualifies as a JRPG, but he is superior to all JRPG protagonists.
Your next move is posting the Stellafag writeups then the Tokyo team user or whatever conspiracies. As the zoomies would say that's hella cringe bro.
Levi Cooper
>FF16 in a Nomura thread
Fuck Yoshi-P and Takai though. Even Vagrant Story was pushing it storywise, just too much for vidya.
Xavier Murphy
They had yo restrain him he would've simply grew too powerful
Angel Wilson
I don't understand why people have a hard-on for medieval politics in Jap games.
Bentley Hernandez
>implying shit taste, chuunibyo, an army of namefag narrative shills and using one medium to do something better executed in another makes you powerful
Bentley Gonzalez
Because it makes them 'reeelistic!!1!1!1!1!1'.
You don't need that heavily featured in video games. Balance political aspects with the personal. X did it best.
William Murphy
If he actually managed to tell a compelling semi-political story in a video game then yes, that would've made him very powerful.
Carson Hughes
That fucker doesn't know restraint or subtlety let alone balance.
Zachary Russell
>reality = politics Hooolllyy shit, retard. Nomura wanted to be more realistic in depicting human characters responding to in-universe events, not our real-world politics. Get a grip.
Evan Thompson
Versus doesn't exist now does it ? Fucking dumbass.
He promised that shit on PS3 hardware. There is no reason not to implement it on PS4, you fucktard.
Josiah Barnes
Did you not read the first greentext quote?

What a fucking Gigachad, can’t wait for Nomura to direct Final Fantasy Torment: Versus Disco Elysium XIII/358 Days: Jamrock Boogaloo. Gonna be so fucking kino.
xv has all those things nomura claimed would be in the game though.
Matthew Perez
Nope. My next move is to play Viewtiful Joe and post on Yea Forums Cry about it.
Jose Young
The event hasn't even happened and Barry is already coping? So this is the power of the 50 year old chuuni...
Adam Stewart
Sounds like you're coping because verum rex will be sanitised Disney kiddie shit.
William Peterson
user, like I said, XV Royal Edition would have been the third best Final Fantasy game of all time if they added the first Season Pass DLC and Duscae battle system at launch. Maybe if they made the second Season Pass DLC the first Season Pass it would've surpassed V.
Jose Thomas
Duscae really made me hope that you could walk into random caves and dungeons and potentially find optional summons, that was one of my biggest disappointments.
Charles Cook
Idk what verum rex will be, but I know it's KH stuff which I like anyways and I stopped caring about versus13 a long time ago unlike many in this thread
Dylan Thomas
My biggest problem was the hold o to win combat, but everything else was fantastic.
Christopher Cook
fpbp, but I rate tactics as the best ff of all.
Luis Wright
Yeah the combat sucks and the fact that the world is pretty much completely empty. Or that they turned to invasion into a movie and still had an unfinshied game and had the guts to announce a pre release season pass to fill gaps.
Owen Scott
Were you, Mr. Politics Front And Center in Fucking VIDEO GAME STORIES Is Good, looking forward to Versus too?
It's like so many of you actually wanted 'muh real world headlines' Versus after the mess that was XIII.
Aaron Wood
>Tactics isn't about politics. >10 sucks. >Nomura is a retard. >9 is the best ff.
Did he ever even get all the trophies for XV? I've never seen a guy spent literal years on just shitting on anything that was ever brought up in a sentence with XV. It's been years and he still uses the exact same "arguments" and webms and scremaing, he just changes up his insults and buzzwords to flavor of the month shit. Back then it was always cunt or thundercunt now it's cope, seethe, trannie.
