Housing prices in Final Fantasy XIV have always been high, but when you try to convert Gil to real life money, those prices can get astronomical.
You’ve saved Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn and resolved a centuries’ old conflict with the dragons in Heavensward… what’s next for the Warrior of Light?
It’s time to head to the Far East. It’s time for Stormblood. And from now until May 8, 2023, this massive expansion is completely free for players who own or buy the Final Fantasy XIV Online Starter Edition!
After 2 long years, we finally have a release window for Final Fantasy XVI. But the names behind the title, are probably largely unknown outside of the Final Fantasy XIV bubble. So allow us to introduce you to the team of Final Fantasy XVI and why you should be excited!
Same, what has been showcased so far doesn't leave me excited but I have faith in Yoshi P.
That's like saying Cyberpunk was automatically in good hands because the Witcher 3 was amazing and GOTY
Each new project is a a blank slate, always expect the unexpected, not everything is going to be good because the last thing the team did was.
Agreed. Not that I wouldn't be excited about a future game from a renowned studio. But, I am already put off by the FF16 trailer. The combat just doesn't seem fun to me and I need to know more of the story. It doesn't seem exciting to me. It just looks like it's trying to be safe.
Combat looks more fun to me but i like action game combat.
And a Final Fantasy game going with a Devil May Cry style combat system is nowhere close to tying to be Safe.
A turn based combat system would be the safest combat system to use.
But has Square put a out a game as bad as Cyberpunk was? No they haven’t not even with the likes of FFXIII and XV
They haven't put out a FF game that bad...but they did release Balan, Quiet Man and Left Alive.
The point isn’t about if it’s broken
It’s about automatically giving a pass on a new game because the last developers game was great. So because FFXIV is great this is automatically going to be? Yeah it shouldn’t work like that.
Umm, to a point, I agree.
1. Of course, you must also realize the inverse is true. A terrible game made by a studio doesn't mean the next game will be bad. Even a bad track record doesn't suggest that the next game will be bad.
2. I would say it is moreso a matter of playing to a studio's strengths that matters above all else. In the instance of Cyberpunk, I haven't played it, but my sense is that it's a good game if it wasn't such a buggy mess. A high quality production wrapped in poor testing/optimization. I would also say that CDPR is probably much better at making open world fantasy RPGs than FPS games. I think they're similar to Guerilla in this context; Killzone was never a strong series in my opinion, but they really hit their stride with Horizon. FromSoft made Tenchu which I loved, but they also hit some rough patches until the Souls games, which have been pretty consistent in quality (DS2 is arguably the worst, but was still an enjoyable experience). For that reason, I see it as playing to one's strength. Some studios are far more versatile like Naughty Dog, Insomniac, etc. Others are kind of one trick ponies. So I would say that if the FFXVI team plays to its strengths, it'll be a solid game.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
@Foxtrot I'm with you on this one.
Kingdom Hearts isn't what it used to be, Final Fantasy XV was very crap compared to what we've seen from vs XIII and like I said in another post about this game I think it just looks very uninspired.
I used to buy every SquareSoft/Enix game without a second thought, now I have the complete opposite.
Things are looking good. But really, we should all wait til we play it ourselves to tell if it's a good game. Ffs (not including the mmos) been needing a big W in a very long time. The remake of ff7 although good, wasn't anything amazing.
Yoshi-p did amazing with 14 but it doesn't mean they can do amazing with a sp mainline ff game.
There is always a chance! But most of the team behind XVI has also worked on FFIX, Tactics and XII. The team definitely has a certain style of game they want to make. Which I would mostly attribute to working with Yasumi Matsuno, after combing through heaps of interviews. Most of them cite him as a massive influence on them.
Final Fantasy XIV Online: Heavensward & Final Fantasy XIV Online: Stormblood begins the mid-game ramp of enjoyment and challenge that make a great game.
but....market board prices are all inflated. you can sell stuff for 200k easy as a gatherer a stack.
Play the game and it's not pay to win as you make it?
(l have 340 million.)
The biggest goddamn flaw with housing is how fast you lose your house. 1 month of no subbing and you lose it. All of it. That's f'd up. some ppl need breaks from mmo's, they shouldnt lose thier house so fast. Also that reclaiming system that gives you your items and 60ish % of your total purchase price dissapears after another month.
Mail from players and the devs lasts forever but all your stuff? Naa fam, we delete that to save server space.
It's not worth buying a home if you take breaks but theres so much money to be made off gardens...a happy medium would be to allow instanced housing for these who don't want neighbours and dont want to lose their home after breaks but so far no word about easing the housing issues.
