Tom Warren: gonna be worth tuning into the Xbox Tokyo game show stream next week

[Landiri]

Xboxs TGS show will unironically be better than Sonys's state of remasters and GAAS show.

It will be the same games they show for 3+ years, all going to PlayStation anyway.

Then people will astroturf it to be the best showcase ever (As if that matters for anything).

In the end, it will not do anything for Xbox (like every time they show something), not move games/consoles/subscriptions, and we are back at square one.

XIII is the cancer that killed Final Fantasy.

But the disease started with X. Played XIII this year for the first time. Expected something worse TBH. PS2 era games though...

Also XIII 2 and XIII 3 are downright terrible.

 

[Puff]

Lulz it was nothing more than a wet fart.

 

[Luffy123]

This is crazy. Is FF16 coming to Xbox the new the boy who cried wolf??

Behave lol.

X is one of the best FF games ever made.

The rot starts from FF13.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

Trials of Mana and Pixel Remasters

That's what made Tom Warren from The Verga cum everywhere

 

[Say1nMan]

Welp, it’s official Pixel remasters isn’t launching on Game pass. Lol.

 

[quest4441]

Konnichiwa minna san, Xbox no Phillocio desu, No Final fantasy 16 desu, Sad desu , watashi seppuku desu

 

[SuperPotato]

That was it? No FF16?

 

[KvallyX]

Welp, it’s official Pixel remasters isn’t launching on Game pass. Lol.

Buying it this afternoon when I get home.

FFX is probably in my top 5 of JRPGs

Chrono Trigger
FF7
Persona 5
FFX
Arc The Lad

I definitely didn't love FF12, but the rot definitely starts with FF13. Though you could argue it started with FFX-2.

Nomura's increased influence on the franchise and the pushing out of creative leadership across Square. The unfortunate merger of Square and Enix, removing the biggest JRPG rivalry between the big two. All of which resulted in a lack of variety and quality among RPGs and that increased focus on FF, DQ, and KH...

Could you imagine if Square Enix had put resources towards Star Ocean, Mana, Xenogears (no Xenoblade), Chrono, Parasite Eve, Soul Blazer, Tactics, Valkyrie Profile, Vagrant Story...

Instead of making Final Fantasy into an action game, they built up Kingdom Hearts, Mana, and Star Ocean to the same level that Nintendo built up Zelda...

We're in the wrong timeline.

 

[ConcentratedBuffoonery]

For what? To see ports of games that released years ago coming to the platform with the lowest amount of consoles sold and a fanbase that is conditioned to not buy games?

Sony at TGS: Hey, here are some new game announcements.
Xbox at TGS: Hey, here are some games Sony announced years ago.

Wow, how predictable

 

[MrAss]

So that is what made Tom Warren impregnated?

 

[TrishaCat]

XIII 3 are downright terrible.

No
Lightning Returns is the best of the trilogy
It's basically JRPG Majora's Mask
I thought it was really cool needing to be in different places at different times of day in order to take on certain quests, and some of the city design helped make that more challenging by having gates that shut at night.
Lightning yelling

Spoiler

"God is dead!" during the final boss fights where she's literally fighting God was really cool

I could see FF16 not coming to Xbox solely from the fact it would have to launch on the series s & given PS5 & PC run the game kinda sus. I don’t see how FF16 would run on series s unless it was like 540p w a sus 30fps performance likely hitting 20. Either way that game & FF7 would be fundamentally different games cause of the ssd & all of the effects on the screen

Yeah, it's a problem.

Microsoft may have to drop the Series mandate before GTA6 releases... it'll be a shit storm either way.

Nomura gets a bad wrap, but he has nothing to do with squares bad decisions. Both 10-2 and 13 are all on Toriyama, not Nomura. While all of the bad decisions were happening Nomura was working on Kingdom hearts 2 and trying to work on versus 13. He also was the one pushing to keep FF7 Remake as close to the original as possible.
