Can't they just

[Liftea 17]

they need to be consistent because they will make less money

[raiden94 17]

Like have different mechanics and as long as they're good, that's what matters?

[Otti#8624 26]

Kinda the issue there isn't it?

[Otti#8624 26]

They aren't good

[Liftea 17]

imagine someone that joins with FF16

[Otti#8624 26]

At best they are just fine

[raiden94 17]

You want them to be more consistent

So they'll

Make less money???

[Liftea 17]

and they like FF16's combat

[ElectriCole 5]

also this is such a dodge of the question lol

[Liftea 17]

a FF16 fan will never get the same experience again if SE constantly changes the identity

[Otti#8624 26]

FF16 has a good base for the game but it's not great

FF15 is...well yeah

FF13 took 3 games to master itself

[Liftea 17]

I mean I like everything 🤷‍♂️

except for FF7-FF9

[Otti#8624 26]

People like FF12 on it's re-release with some of the changes it got

[Liftea 17]

because firetruck them

[Otti#8624 26]

I don't know about 11 as I never played it but 14 goes through lots of small changes constantly, some works and others don't

[raiden94 17]

thank you lol

I don't understand 😭

I want to understand;

I quiero comprendo bruder

Ayuda me, por favor

[Liftea 17]

it's just tiring to see that ppl always make this about action vs turn-based

when the topic should be that SE needs consistency in some way back

[ElectriCole 5]

ok but like in what sense do you mean consistency? Like the just the overal qualities of them?

[raiden94 17]

He means mechanical identity i think?

[Liftea 17]

FF7-FF9 was so popular because the games all shared a common identity which is ATB

and also reused music and assets in some cases

[Otti#8624 26]

I think a good example of a company going against what they did but still not abandoning it is RGG with the Yakuza game

[raiden94 17]

7 was popular cause it was a great game it wasn't the mechnicas

8 is good, 9 is good

But tbh?

[Otti#8624 26]

Going from an action brawler to turn based games is an insane pivot

[raiden94 17]

Were riding 7's coatails a bit
