Forums - Gaming - Someone Tell Sony Fans Final Fantasy Isn't Their Series! (article)

Sony Playstation was formed on third party games, unlike any other console. That's why their fans are so possessive. They lost some of their bigger games of previous gens.

"Losing" Final Fantasy and Metal Gear is like Nintendo losing Zelda or Metroid. So I kinda understand. But they have only Sony to blame.

You haven't proved your point, but rather reinforced mine.

Each of those links just says that content was cut, not due to it being multiplatform, but rather "didn’t make sense in the storyline, would slow down the pace of the game or were otherwise unnecessary."

Tell me where i said it was the 360's fault that the content was cut.

So you agree that what you brought up had nothing to do with the issue at hand.

No.

What i brought up was a reason why the "Sony fans" would be pissed off. Again.

You obviously didn't read what i said correctly. And wrongly accused me of saying it was the 360's fault.

Now i ask you again. Where did i say it was the 360's fault?

Irrational with there hate? How have they? They are rightly pissed off at being buttfucked for an entire generation.

The PS3 is the best supported third place system in video game history. Considering how bad things are for Sony this generation, PlayStation fans didn't lose a whole lot of games. Most of the time games just went multiplatform, there aren't that many titles that the PS3 didn't get at all.

PlayStation fans are getting much more than one would and could expect from a system in third place. Instead of being pissed that games go multiplatform, they should be thankful that they still get so many games. Because really, things could be much worse.

The biggest games on the PS3 are multiplat games, so it's really not a big deal, but either Sony jumping the guns or SE just playing around. Stop telling us it's an exclusive games, that's all.

And it's a huge deal because they are probably going to do a E3 annoucement again, but I really hope PS3 fans just stay calm about it.

This whole issue today, many peoples attitude has been so disgusting!

Final Fantasy is Square-Enix's series & its the best RPG franchise & Ill enjoy each one till the end of time!

weren't you saying in your thread you didn't want that to happen?



i have no pity for square enix this time i understand why XIII went multiplatfom, fear of it not selling well on one platform but the ps3 has shown it can carry a final fantasy game exclusively... granted ps3 fans(including myself) and square enix(money wise) are a bit greedy here, but square enix made a promise and they should deliver

fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me

You were talking about why going multiplat was a bad thing and then you talked about all the reasons why and your content cut was in the midst of things. 

I read what you said correctly, but your context was not clear enough.

None of us are talking about Sony fans just being pissed at S-E, but being pissed at FF being multiplat.

First Zelda is a nintendo game, Metroid is just not as big as the other games you mention, and third we still have those games.

I predict at least 4 bans within an hour of it being announced.

@dtewi

I wasn't talking about how it was a bad thing. I was talking about how it could be seen as a bad thing from the "Sony fans".

And people being pissed because of FF is one of the main things that has come from SE's buttfucking of the PS3 fanbase. I showed youa bunch of reasons that ADD to that frustration.

I don't see people being pissed off because it isn't just a PS3 exclusive.

I see people pissed off because games that were promised as PS3 exclusives, are no longer being exclusive.

That, and the 360 ports making PS3 owners have to wait EVEN LONGER for the damn game.

A lot of people are saying that the 360 is why FFXIII had that content left on the cutting floor. This isn't reasonable. I think that on some level there is a certain subset of people who are primarily upset that it's no longer exclusive just for the sake of that.

I mean, why would a person care if exclusivity is broken? Especially if the PS3 is the lead platform?

Because they are primarily a fan of the console, not necessarily the series itself? They would care for the PS3 finally having it's own big exclusive from a 3rd party. Not having to share it's big exclusive, with the consoles biggest competitor.

Sure, it's only a slight few who seem to think that, but they still have a right to be slightly pissed.

 

Another reason i think could stand is this -

Square Enix this gen have basicly buttfucked Sony, and buttlicked Microsoft. The 360 gets a formerly PS franchise, Star Ocean... as an "Exclusive". Exclusive games like Infinate Undiscovery and the Last Remnant while the PS3 remains in the dark. Square Enix also abandon the PS franchise for another flagship series, Dragon Quest.

The PS3 exclusive, Final Fantasy XIII, is then showed at the Microsoft E3 show. This is then rubbed in for over a year constantly at every FF, RPG or game discussion.

The game is THEN delayed for however long. It is confirmed that a LOT of content has been cut. And the 360 version gets exclusive bundles and advertising, despite it being blatantly obvious to anyone but Greenberg that the PS3 version would be the far superior version sales-wise.

The game releases, is bashed by reviewers but sells well. Big, big win for the PS3 sales-wise, as expected... Despite the 360 ad's and bundles. This add's fuel to the fire.

Now, the PS3's final "exclusive" game. Built ground up for the PS3. Nomura, a well known fan of the PS franchise is making it. Touted as being fully exclusive from day 1. Is rumored to be going to the 360... Can you really blame Sony fans for being pissed off as much as they are? REALLY?

 

You have many flaws here, Star Ocean like FF was on the Snes, Dragon Quest isn't owned by SE it's owned soley by Yuji Horii and he decides everything for the franchise Enix only have an exclusive contract to publish his games and on top of that DQ is another franchise that graced Nintendo's consoles, non of these are PS franchises. FF was only rubbed in because lets face it even as a PS3 owner I can see that the PS3's extremist fans (not owners, I'm talking about fanboys) are pathetic and were experiencing poetic justice of the highest order after rubbing FF in the faces of everyone until reality caught up with them. It made it even more silly with the outrage they were calling like every third party game belongs to them only, Nintendo fans got nothing from SE while PS fans at least still get something yet they've thrown a bigger tantrum over this then N64 fans 14 years ago.

Square isn't a second party, and final Fantasy didn't start on a sony platform, and has appeared on numerous platforms. Why Sony fans feel such entitlement to the series is beyond me.

@ bolded - Most likely as 7 was "the best FF ever!!!"  (I do not agree with that btw, I would put it around 4th or 5th on my list - 9 was the best ever)
