Very powerful indeed.

Obviously I am not talking about combat or else GoW wouldn't be a part of this discussion.

Turn based or not. It doesn't matter. What pissed me off with the new FF is how unimmersive the new games are because of how the setting is. It is like they've thrown a bunch of ideas and put them together cause why not?

Atleast with the previous FF games. It was more cohesive even FFXIII was better as there's no discourse from the era and I love that there's two worlds of different culture which is actually a theme similar from other games. Stuffs like Mako energy, soul steam as fuel, magicite etc and basically the economy of the times were more sensible which makes it's harder to criticize the previous games than the new ones etc.

I am using GoW as a recent example. I agree that Skyrim and Witcher 3 should've shown square enix that before but they are stubborn.

I'm just as confused as everyone else.

You would know what I mean when they finally remake Final Fantasy VI. kthxbye.

One of the worst mistakes by Square Enix was creating a mythology on FFXIII that was pretty much unrecognizable by pretty much everybody.Lol

I still do not understand the plot because of the goddess stuff. Those things made it hard for me to value the new FFs. I wish it was more relateable and that's what I mean with throwing an encyclopedia of terms I will never ever read again because of how complex it is.

I felt they should've learned it from Ni no Kuni. I love that there was a story book in the games about the different worlds. It made it more interesting even though it wasn't familiar and related in the game.

In FF13, the primer phrasings were like a puzzle and it was boring to read. How can you keep up with that kind of mythology?

It's like Square Enix is sadistic to their fans. If you're gonna create something alienating to your fandom, better make it understandable to everyone. This is why I am loving GoW's Lost Pages of Norse Myth. It's like I'm being primed for the new myth without confusing me to no ends while I'm playing the game. great idea by Santa Monica in all honesty.

Also, I had some Pizza for dinner tonight, proving once and for all that I could have ordered Chinese takeout instead

Dumb topic.

As confusing as the OP is, i think i understand what hes saying.

Even though the new GOW is quite a bit different from previous entries, its still GOW at its core.

You really can't say that about FF, its so far fron where the series started that they really share nothing outside of the name.

So edgy.

Wishing you Kingdom Hearts 3 a 2019 delayed date. Jk lol

Basically.

Square Enix divided its fanbase with its constant changes in every number. Square Enix never really ever cultivated a fanbase of similar passion. It's always about attaining new ones and losing some fans in the process.

That's what I call alienation.

GoW on the other hand besides the new combat system... It's still GoW and has a chance to expand on more players because of the new direction of the series. Kratos being there held up the new take and that's the reason nobody but the hack and slash fans are alienated by the changes.

That's what I'm saying why Square Enix needs to go back to its FF roots in order to appeal to fans of old FFesque games because of how divided the fanbase is. People loves nostalgia and maybe that is the cure to unify the fanbase once again. Just saying.
