Imagine canceling the Aranea, Luna DLC for this turd called Flopspoken. Yikes.
XV makes me sad cause i love its world and its main characters but it just falls and fumbles with its plot and gameplay there was so much potential with it i still personally think theres a lot to love
Pez has a foot fetish !? I keep learning new things about ya 😁👍🏽
I'm glad you were able to criticize this game while having the balls to call out all the people who have an obsession with calling things with anything black, female, lgbt, etc, woke.
The irony is that black people in the 40s created the term to refer to educating one's self over systematic problems affecting them at the time. And like much of black culture, it's been taken, twisted, and weaponized against it's original creators.
I also agree that while the dialog is generally cringy, it wasn't unbearable, and was refreshingly realistic and down to earth. When I first played the demo, it was endearing to hear Frey say fuck at the same time I did when we took a hit.
People wanna complain about the sensitivity of "woke" people, yet are too sensitive to deal with her potty mouth as though 70% of people don't talk like that.
Luminous was not the problem. it was crystal tools. The real issue in the 2010s was that Nomura had a lot of problems making FF Versus and he eventually left and Tabata had to finish he game as FF15. Forspoken does suck and it cost 70 to 100 million, Square Enix just said they made no money and the CEO will step down. The insane thing is that FF15 looks way better than Forspoken so the engine was not the problem but the developers. I guess once Tabata left the devs lost all soul. Also, Forspoken had like 5 western devs as the writers, no Japanese making the story, characters and world. what a shame but Square Enix got what it deserved
The problem is SE have released stinkers for years FF13, FF13-2, FF13-3, FF15, Forspoken. I just don't think they have good storytellers left at the company. I think FF16 is going to be a huge wake up call that SE needs to wake up and shift away from artists and graphics back to story telling.
if this was another franchise or a remake of somethin and it was race swapped..ok that would be woke..but as a original franchise..it can be what it wants..but dont lie to your self it was elder rings for girls..
7 Remake and Kh3 remind have the best gameplay of any modern square game imo
Pls come back Pez we need your sick takes!
XIII had a dead small world, no towns, no people, it was the most basic open world porkchop map with nothing to do.
Agree with you Pez
@Final Fantasy Peasant will u ever stream ff7 new threat mod or the new ff7 echo s mod fully voiced?
Forspoken, the game with decent combat and TERRIBLE everything else lol
As a rule of thumb: If it has "parkour" (not parkour), its shit.
Hey Pes, love the FF theory videos but I don't think you understand what woke is. Yea, the term has gained a lot of use over the last couple years. But it's not just because everyone wants to call everything woke that isn't. It's also that being woke is part of the "company mission statement" for all these corporations and businesses and so it actually is in just about everything now. The idea of woke is that you prioritize your ideology of equity, diversity, and climate above anything else and at the same time you demonize anything traditional. The reason woke should be heavily criticized is because it lacks any logic.
For example, anything that has to do with trans individuals. The idea is that whatever a person claims as their gender must be obliged because we have a duty to respect one another and prevent harm to someone psychologically. It doesn't however consider what it does to a person who doesn't believe this about gender and how they are being compelled to utter something they don't believe to be true. And when you dig into the harm they are causing young people with this new fad, it's alarmingly sad. Look up de-transitioners. The point is that it is "woke" to assume that all people should swallow this new concept of gender. It's much more like a cult.
Another example would be compelled implicit bias testing in the work place. The idea here is that everyone has prejudices but specifically white people who are heterosexual need this "training" in order to homogenize the work environment, which is ironic because the whole point of this is for diversity's sake. You see this a lot in American media. For example, Whoopi Goldberg just said recently that white people need to get beat up by the police more. Her point is about police brutality concerning black people, but this was oddly in response to black officers beating black victims. Anyway, no one sees this as racist or problematic in the woke ideology. They think if black cops are beating black people it's because white people somehow have influenced the world to create this situation and now white people should be beaten without cause so they can learn their lesson. Woke as hell right there.
Another example of things that get lumped into woke is this sense of nihilism in today's culture. I think the third episode of last of us is a good example. The assisted suicide is seen as romantic. Super cringey in how that dialogue was delivered by the way.
Sorry for the long post. But basically woke is anything that pushes race, climate, gender, nihilism, and communism at the expense of logical thinking. Here in the states, Martin Luther King Jr's famous dream speech was about judging one another on the content of character, and the crucial basis for this was the dignity of each human being as seen as a unique soul created by God.
To me it is quite obvious that being woke is the agenda of all major companies and media. It's in everything.
Pez you were simping for XV and defending Tabata for a long time….. Until you realized it was all bad.
Thank you for calling out the so called anti woke nut jobs. Woke only means to make yourself or others aware of racial injustice. Things like Jim Crow laws, sundown towns, and not hiring someone because of their race or ethnicity. Woke has absolutely nothing to do with feminism or lgbtq, right wingers have grouped all of these different issues under woke, and sadly have fooled the public into believing it. It has severely diminished actual social injustice issues, now people are more concerned about a fictional M&M character being an overweight lesbian than an unarmed man being murdered by officers of the law for a minor traffic violation. Did they even know that all of the writers for this game were middle aged white people? Who are just bad writers by the way. Yeah u should take a break from Square Enix and try HiFi Rush, it’ll cheer you up 😊🤘
Square enix choice of MC and trying to cater the fickle western was the downfall of this game, first the isekai genre western fans hate it, second a black women mc dont help at all because automatically it gets the woke label and automatically its a bad game no matter what. The PC version its poorly optimized and since its a ps5 exclusive more ammunition for the vocal xbot fanboys to throw even more hate to this game….. Objectively its not a bad game but so much bad decision
From what I could see… isn't the story basically The Wizard of Oz?
Girl from the real world ends up in a magical land, there are four powerful witches who hold all the power, she's forced to kill one early on and takes her power(ful ruby slippers), earning her the ire of one of her sisters. All she wants to do is go home, but she's pressured by the locals to defeat the wicked witch of the Fire element…
This game bombing was as predictable as a sunrise.
GoFundMe for Pez to buy Square. Who says no?
So glad someone else gets it! Been saying this for years. The westernization and relentless pursuit of the engine has just sent SE downhill. SE used to be the studio I loved and would back their games even before they come out because they looked awesome and the games were so unique and stood apart from others. Forspoken, I knew this is what would happen. 16 looking the same.
FF16 is the last hope for me. I liked FF7R enough to not lose sleep over it, but I doubt they can pull of part 2 considering how much content is left…. So yeah, FF16 is truly the very last hope for me, and only cause it comes from Yoshi-P & co
10 hours in and I like the game very much. 8/10 so far.
Playing on ps5.
I dont think the dialoque is too cringe.
I like the setting very much. Story is good so far.
Im positvely suprised because the Feedback it got was horrible.
I cannot understand the amount of hate it gets
Really hope that the leak thing is real cuz I'm dying for a woff sequel
Have any of you actually played the game? Or just listened to the hate about the game without forming your own opinion from playing it from beginningto end? 3.6 based on less than 1000 reviews… not a lot of people hating on it tbh. I know a hand full of people that are enjoying the game so far and yes the dialogue is cringe at times and Frey is annoying at first but so are some Final Fantasy characters 🤣… looking at you FF13 😏. But most games are (especially anime games).
Also its not on sale in the UK… much better than the latest One Piece game 😅.
