Square Enix announced higher income than expected thanks to older console games like NieR: Automata and MMORPGs like Final Fantasy XIV.
YoshiP, the director and producer of Final Fantasy 14, has apologised for the state of the game at the time of writing.
Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?
Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.
The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.
If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.
"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."
The product should be cheaper then.
I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.
Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.
Call of Duty: Mobile’s new NieR: Automata crossover launches with Season 5: Primal Reckoning, with new skins and weapons to grind for.
Square Enix released new screenshots of the upcoming patch 7.25 for its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, including the Occult Crescent.
ffxiv is monthly sub based with a lot of pricy cosmetic cash shop stuffs like the 18$ glam sets that released this week, no wonder they make a lot of money of that, i see too many people roaming in my server with cash shops glams.
Suprisingly the low budget, and very new game as Nier did amazing job and yet XV the 10 years of development game, did not even hit 10 millions althought its available on X1, Ps4, PC and supports 4K, HDR and FHD 60fps. SE and Tabata needs to listen to fans and stop making medicore experience and low fight set up like the ugliness of Levi fight and pathetic Ardyn fight. Furthermore, Tabata must stop to be stubborn and he confess that FFXV managment is so poor espeacily with unfinished story, cutting of contents like insomnia and so, and adding DLCs as low effort episodes that add nothing to core game. SE should had learnt from The Witcher 3 and how to do a great game.
I excuse SE because they always have these die hard defenders for their underwheliming products, as example FFXIII, FFXV and FFNT defenders.
probably why there are rumors of Nier2 coming to xbox finally.
Then can we for the love of god get more creative ips like nier ?
