“Final Fantasy is the Fast Food of JRPGs”
Not really. Final Fantasy was the gourmet meal
Then its Head Chef left (Sakaguchi)
Then they changed the recipe for 25 years, while its customers begged them to stop
Then a French restaurant opened. They showed what the Original Recipe would look like, with today’s tech (Expedition 33)
In less than one year, their first dish outsold the last 2 meals Square Enix made (FF16 & FF7 Rebirth)
That’s what Final Fantasy was
Now it’s just a confused attempt at a gourmet meal, that only follows half the recipe
@KnightsTomboy@hopefulllyyy At this point he have to ask; what does a FF game is?, It's the mechanics? The artstyle? Sakaguchi? Uematsu? All of those? If all that makes a FF then all Mistwalker games are literally FF but the name lol. Does he likes to brag about the prestige of being a "classic FF fan"?
@hopefulllyyy Yeah; however, expecting to everyone to know all that before responding to a badly explained take publicly is kinda utopic. Anyways, at the end, we all want FF to have his former glory and everyone should not use food analogies, those are very lmao see ya Im playing Star Fox Zero
@hopefulllyyy Sincerely, his critique looked more like a tourist take that only plays those 3 games, because he made it look like there were no games that brought the same experience as FF, and getting very defensive to a random with a meme downloaded from Google doesn't help him either.
@hopefulllyyy Yeah I know that, but Square Enix does not see it that way, if you ask for a new FF like 6 or 9 they will point to other games such as the Bravely and Octopath series. For them, those games are all of us are asking for FF but the name.
@Eruda101@Sebbywebz Maybe? I think Square Enix saw that and started course correcting their PS/Epic Games exclusivity and putting their efforts in porting their recent games to other consoles/steam. I bought FF Strangers in Paradise like 1-2 years later in steam because it was a EGS exclusive.
@hopefulllyyy He was talking about how SE was not giving what FF was offering initially, while, as you and I said, they had with other new franchises, which where made in response to that need. The problem is using E33 as the sole option when we still have more, like SMT, Xeno's and alike.
@hopefulllyyy If the discussion is about FF why bring E33 then? If whe use his food analogy (lol) there is a little branch in the FF kitchen that made Octopus Traveller, Bravely Default and Dragon Quest XI, which pretty much uses the unchanged recipe.
@AlevitArts@El_Terhor Hay un estante donde hay un libro que menciona un genocidio, en inglés dice algo como "pero no quiero seguir hablando de eso..." en japonés dice "bueno... Ahí les va una receta 🤪" , el famoso "get dunked on" de Sans lo cambiaron a "ya moriste? Solo quería darte un abrazo..."
