Re: Atlus Really Doesn't Want You to Know Metaphor: ReFantazio Is Coming to PS5

@cragis0001 The same reason XBOX is paying millions to market Metaphor, because they have money to burn and out of touch with the market.

What are the next 4 JRPGs coming to XBOX after Metaphor?

Sony has Romancing Saga 2 Remake (PS, Switch and Steam, Skipping XBOX), Trails of Daybreak 2 (PS, Switch, and Steam, skipping XBOX), YSX:Nordics (PS, Switch, and Steam, skipping XBOX), Farmagia (PS, Switch, and Steam, skipping XBOX), Fairy Tail 2 (PS, Switch, Steam, and skipping XBOX) and we're only in November.

@UltimateOtaku91 Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey were the first and last 3 JRPGs ever graced the XBOX ecosystem.

Those 3 games failed miserably in sales as Japan and Asia still didn't buy XBOX. So much so, that Mistwalker Studio actually had to pivot to making Mobile Games only these days. Imagine making a JRPG made by the Father of Final Fantasy dies because of exclusivity on their ***** consoles.

XBOX is where JRPG goes to die.

No one is ever gonna buy an XBOX for JRPG. They've tried this strategy before with Mistwalker studio and still somehow failed miserably.

JRPG thrones are being held just fine by Sony and Nintendo, but if the suits at Microsoft want to waste their money on marketing a game no one wants to play at their system, more power to them I guess.

Although if anything, hopefully this game sales number is so low that SEGA and ATLUS finally learned that marketing their games for XBOX is ***** stupid.

Re: Black Myth: Wukong Has Sold an Astonishing 10 Million Copies in Three Days on PS5, PC

Why does it matter if it's from China? the game is Chinese and in Chinese settings. China promoted the game heavily before its launch to the point it's being mentioned in a national TV. If anything, this just shows how much purchasing power China has and 10 million is not a number to scoff at within a week. Especially since this is coming from a single player console game that usually has a tougher time in China due to their preference on online mobile games.

This is a major accomplishment and at least they're releasing their games globally instead of just locking it in China like other Chinese developers.

I don't usually play Souls-like game as I suck at it, but even I'm having fun with Black Myth.

Re: Poll: Can a Game's Brutal Difficultly Put You Off Playing It?

QiaraIris

Absolutely. Good for those people that have the time, tenacity, and patience to enjoy souls-game or any other brutal difficulty games but they are just not for me. I knew that and I'm not going to pretend that I'd enjoy it. Hell, I tend to even set my games to Very Easy or Story if there are difficulty options available.

I wish I do have those qualities I mentioned above though, as it seems that I really missed on a great game in Elden Ring. Oh well, it is what it is.

Re: Poll: One Year Later, What Are Your Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16?

QiaraIris

It was a fantastic game, especially coming from FFXV disaster and compared to the the garbage that was FF7-Rebirth.

Great characters, great boss fights (Titan desert boss fights that was designed by three Square Enix legendary encounter designers were definitely my favourite), awesome cinematics, excellent darker mature storyline, and actually fun combat for an RPG.

CBUIII really did a great job on this game and if there's one thing their experience kinda goes against them, is the sheer amount of irrelevant bloated side quests that plagued the game especially closer to the end. That definitely came from their MMO experience.

Re: Series Stalwart Mark Darrah Says Veilguard Is the 'Best Dragon Age Game' He's Ever Played

"Are you looking forward to returning to the world of Thedas?"

Nothing they've shown so far actually made me "look forward" to play it. Especially after Nintendo direct showcased a bunch of other RPGs and JRPGs crowding autumn/winter release that actually interest me.

They really need to stop telling about the game and start showing more. After CDPR and Cyberpunk, they can tell whatever they want but till I see it in action before launch, I won't believe them.

Re: Fed Up with Square Enix, Final Fantasy 14's Healers Are Going on Strike

QiaraIris

Oh tell these minority healers to ***** off. I main AST and I'm not striking with these snowflakes and their temper tantrum. I bet these are ex-WoW players too as we never had this issue before as FFXIV community has no time for this bs.

I also play every jobs in FFXIV with all max gears, I'm sure there are a lot of us that can and will switch jobs to fill in the gap while they throw a temper tantrum.

I'll gladly do so.

Re: Poll: So, What Are Your Thoughts on Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

QiaraIris

I'm not sold at all, but I'm open to seeing more.

I'll wait till they show more of the RPG system that made the franchise an RPG. So far the gameplay reveal has displayed none of: Skill trees, character progressions, and gears/loot system.

Till then, in the same universe where we have a game like Baldur's Gate 3 as an RPG, in what way is Veilguard an acceptable showing?

Re: Forget About the Cheesy Reveal Trailer with 20 Mins of Dragon Age: The Veilguard Gameplay

QiaraIris

Better than the trailer but I'm still not blown away by it. Gotta have to wait and see if they brought back all the RPG features that made Dragon Age an RPG game because I just saw the team had a boss battle after waves of enemies and absolutely 0 loot. So no loot system? crafting? etc?

Honestly, I have the same uneasy feeling I had when they showcased ME: Andromeda and we know how that ended up.
