You think it will be bad because of the male protagonists? LOL

I mean, I know there are tastes for everything and all, but hating on a game and dooming it just because of the gender of a charachter that you dont even know.... its hilarious, to say the least.We all complain when companies such as activision rehash over and over again its games, but when someone tries to do something different, like trying to have a different narrative with an all male party(which isnt even true, since you can have guests and some of those guests are - surprise surprise - females), there are people like you that will claim that it will suck based on that alone.And goes on to say that would be ok with an all female party?I know the internet is a messy place, but I really dont understand it sometimes.

And it wont run shit. LOL

First because after all Square been through, I highly doubt that they would make such an fundamental mistake like that.Second, that demo was rushed, and that was admited by Square itself.the demo was a glorified technical demo, that was there just to show what the game was capable of.

And be my guests and wait years until you get your PC version.You do what you want.But I need to thank you.It brigthens my day seeing senseless posts like this now and then.

Trust me, if it was an all female cast I would be all over it hyping it as the best FF ever. And yeah, that's my taste. I know that there are people out there who love to stare for 50h at a scrawny boy's ass and fangirling all over the bromance but that is not me. Change for change's sake is the worst thing that you can do.

For me it will be the worst FF ever unless they can pull at least one or 2 proper characters out of their ass. The 2 introduced female characters so far seem dull as shit. I have some hope for the female villain but she won't have enough screen time to carry the game.

I'm fairly optimistic that I will not have to wait longer than a year for a PC port. All major SE releases in the past years ran like shit. LR:FFXIII, Drakengard 3, FF Type Zero, Dragon Quest Heroes. That shows that SE simply does not give a shit about performance. There is absolutely no indication why FFXV would be any different, especially after the beta and demo.

So thats what I understand from what I read:Just because they are men means that they, as a carachter, will suck?I mean, you can have that impression, but saying that as a fact is simply wrong.And it makes more wrong that, assuming the conditions were the same, an all-girl party would be awesome.I mean, it could be just as bad as a bromance in your line of thinking.Just with girls.Unless you have some fetish with girls in videogames.But that goes beyond the point if a charachter, either male or female, is interesting or not.

So please, if you have a valid reason to hate the game, a valid reason being gameplay differences, overall theme of the game, lack of story and so on, please state so and elaborate.But if it a reason as simply as "Oh hey, he has blue hair!This game must suck then.Hate blue-haired people".Then just state outright, because otherwise people will misinterpret you and try to have an actual argument, when there is none to have, since you cant argue against extremely personal preferences.

Oh, and unless you play on PC or a different type of PS4 than everybody else, none of those games that you mentioned(as far as I know) runs like "shit".Stop making extreme statements and start making arguments.
