Looks brutal. What happened to FF

This happened. And this article was written in summer 2019. So it's even outdated.

By the end of 2019, the global gaming market is estimated to be worth $152 billion, with 45% of that, $68.5 billion, coming directly from mobile games. With this tremendous growth (10.2% YoY to be precise) has come a flurry of investments and acquisitions, everyone wanting a cut of the pie. In fact, over the last 18 months, the global gaming industry has seen $9.6 billion in investments and if investments continue at this current pace, the amount of investment generated in 2018-19 will be higher than the eight previous years combined.

sad, but true.

I don't understand the project behind this, i mean yes, it's only to surf on the Battle Royale "hype", but it's really look like shit and don't even fun to play. The idea is stupid, but money is money hey. We're going to eat alot of declinaison of Final Fantasy 7 in the next few years. it reminds me of FFXV pocket edition, this game should not exist.

Why put some new plot points of the ff7 remake game into a battle royal?

 

[Spokker]

Could someone tell Square there are other Final Fantasy games that exist? There are even classic RPGs that aren't named Final Fantasy.

I don't think that it would be enough. Milking the cow seems more logic for them

Lmfao...fuck everything, take the legacy
Of one of the greatest games ever made and smear shit all over it. Thats what square does. Not even the compilation of ff7 was this gross.

Got into the beta test and played a round. It's actually not terrible and has some pretty cool ideas.

But it's on mobile and playing BR on mobile feels like ass IMO

targeting an audience that only ever plays on mobile, look forward to this making more money than every other final fantasy ever, combined,

Seriously. Everything they’ve tried to add on to the original FF7 has just made it worse, and retroactively ruined my opinion of the original.

Not bad...

And people that likes it shoud feel bad. I sure do feel bad for liking Apex Legends, it's like eating fast food, everybody knows that it's bad, but still... We do it anyway.

You make a lot of interesting points. I'm convinced. Battle Royale indeed bad.

Mobile games. Ill never understand them. Im officially old. Thank you Playstation. Thank you Nintendo, even though I dont play your games. For some reason I keep buying them though.

 

[RoboFu]

so FF fortnite?

 

[e0n]

I believe this is out today.

 

[YukiOnna]

Looks like it's doing just fine.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Really enjoying it at the moment and the magic doesn't seem OP, Melee seems way too overpowered though.

Some really good ideas in this game.

Season 2 launched yesterday so I gave it another go, and ended up getting Megaflare'd by Bahamut who is apparently just flying over the arena this season lmao

What SE is doing with FF VII feel like they're your high school crush's dad turned pimp, whoring out his daughter.

 

[Daytonabot]

Going after that PUBG/Fortnite audience on mobile.

Regardless of quality, every player this takes away from Fortnite and Epic's ecosystem is a positive.

Welcome to 19 years ago. FF7 nostalgia brings in EZ profit. They even had original PlayStation-style skins in this game for a while lol

That's modern media in a nutshell, isn't it?

Is that a good or bad thing?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Naraka Bladepoint (Battle Royale) just released a few months ago and is a massive success. The genre is basically teflon at this point.

 

[Yamisan]

I forgot this game even released until I got an email announcing season 2 o.o
