What if the game is actually good though? Hypothetically of course.

 

Apparently, he has already determined it to be a bad game. You know, not having played it of course. But he knows...

 

Just like people can assume it will be a good game, I can assume it will be a bad game until proven otherwise.

• The main character is described as being Cloud but a chick -- nothing says sellout more except...
• They are already planning ten years of spinoffs -- tells you they are interested in nothing other than cash.  Rather than giving us a memorable story or interesting characters, they're just giving us a female Cloud and hope that keeps people interested.
• The game has had delay after delay after delay -- It's not completely unorderinary for a game to have a delay, most do, but this one has had delay after delay after delay.  It could be for the better, but it could also be because the game is one giant clusterfuck
• They care more about how the game looks than anything else -- Unless I'm mistaken (and I could be) just about everything told to us has been about eye candy or future spinoffs.  I don't play Final Fantasy games for eye candy, I play them for interesting characters and a good story.
• The last few games have been bad, why would this one be good?  They could always pull a FFIX on us but you can't really expect anomalies.

 

 

Yeah when FFIX didn't sell where they wanted it to they jumped back to, lets make everything like FFVII, sure I thought FFVII was a good game, but then every FF after that tried to achive the same thing FFVII did, which was make huge bank for Square. Personally I bought my PS2 for FFX, my feelings went from *excitement* *opens my new PS2 and pops in FFX* *see the opening* *looking good* *get this awkward story about Tidus being an emo kid with dad issues* *gets a little puzzled* *notices how terrible the voice actors are* *gets more worried* and then by the time I was teamed up with Rikku I was bored, pissed, and was hoping something good would happen soon, then Auron comes along, is badass, but then the rest of the game is a let down, and I find out Auron is actually dead, at that moment I wanted to break my disc...
