@Tamamo it's not even just the kneeling to jews part
Nips lack ambition in general.
FGO was the highest selling gacha for how many years? and all they did was make musouslop trash and arcade shit
Meanwhile Mihoyo took a huge risk with Genshin and became the most profitable gaming company in the world. And even now other Chinese developers are investing in higher production games while Japan is still on their JPEGs collectors huffing their own farts.
@Meemoo They biggest problem is that every small to mid sized studio was bought up by Bamco/Squeenix/KoeiTecmo where creativity goes to die because they make games for shareholders and not gamers.
All the studio's that made those interesting PS1/PS2 games have been either bought up or died in the transition to the HD era.
@Tamamo Sony PlayStation, too. I think there are a ton of factors contributing to how safe and censorious JP devs choose to be, but yeah, they definitely killed their own creativity. Japan is lagging behind now as their corporate culture self-immolates, yet they're all too stubborn to change and adapt. Or at least, they're adapting incorrectly, like as they eat up the poison that comes from Commiefornia and ESG. Meanwhile Korea and China start to take more of the metaphorical pie, even in manga. In terms of PNG collectors, Japan's is not as risque as Azur Lane and Last Origin due to all the censorship happiness.
A shame, but... this is the opportunity for some Japanese devs to strike out AGAINST the grain of their own country and win it big and put Japan back on the market... if they have the balls to. Otherwise, I think eventually Korea and China will take over the eastern entertainment market. @Meemoo
@Cayhr@Meemoo They also just keep shooting themselves in the foot when they have something good on the hands when it comes to launching globally.
While Kancolle banned foreign IP's, Azur Lane launched globally and now Kancolle is almost forgotten.
PSO2 launched 8 years too late in the west and they fucking censored it and also forgot to launch it in the EU.
MMO fans were looking forward to Blue Protocol and they sold out the western players to Amazon (who has yet to actually launch the game btw).
One of their few non PNG collector gacha's that makes allot of money, Heaven Burns Red, has yet to have a global launch.
@LolikingSama@Cayhr@Meemoo@supersid333 You're gonna need a VPN for the steam version anyway because of, fucking, course, its geo blocked because Japanese retardation.
@Meemoo Sqeenix should just fucking die. The last decent thing that came out of them was Nier Automata and all they've done with the success is remastering Nier 1 and whoring out 2B for collabs because they don't have the balls to re-release the Drakengard games.
Oh and they've practically destroyed every studio under Eidos with total mismanagement, incompetence and extreme corporate greed.
@namedoesntfi@Meemoo I wanna see the faces of their "ethics department" when they present a game where your party consists of a dragon, a sister fucker (you), a pedo, a cannibal and a shota. :doge_laugh:
@Tamamo I will admit I've lost a little bit of respect for Yoko Taro because he chose to milk the Nier brand instead of seeking to create another title with his newfound success. he would've had an easy time convincing the committee at square to give him full control of a new game if he wanted, but instead we got 2 shitty gachas and a bunch of collabs.
@Tamamo it's pretty upsetting how only the safe directors get a say on games there nowadays.
Nomura is probably the only autist at square left actually pushing for crazy and new experiences but he needs someone to tard wrangle him really hard so he doesn't fuck up.
Yoshi is the favorite child there now but he loves ESG tranny dick and is a one-trick pony that can't try new things.
@Meemoo >Yoshi is the favorite child there now but he loves ESG tranny dick and is a one-trick pony that can't try new things.
Really? :cirno_what3: @Tamamo
@Cayhr@Tamamo yeah. FF16 has gay couples and FFXIV now has a tranny EN VA.
the MMO itself has been following the exact same schedule with the exact same content cycle and jobs haven't seen any serious changes in 5+ years because he's too scared of trying new things.
@weissrespecter@Cayhr@Tamamo yeah true.
they all still play the same as during SHB and even that is not enough because they keep removing and simplifying shit :noa_disgust:
I've been spamming 1 1 1 1 1 1 as a healer for so many years now that I've become sick of the role and switched to DPS. YoshitPiss is a hack
@Meemoo@weissrespecter@Cayhr WoW did the same shit with the wrath of the bitch king expansion in the name of "bring the player, not the class".
Every class got an AOE skill no matter how dumb, unique class skills where given to other classes, reagents removed, etc.
I fucking hated that shit and was it one of the reasons i quit.
@Tamamo@Cayhr@weissrespecter SHB was our WoTLK basically.
they removed aggro as a mechanic by making it so only tanks have to manage it, simplified all healers into having 1 DPS skill, removed DPS stance from tanks and healers which removed any depth the combat had. Endwalker was even worse because devs started eliminating every single job's identity one by one. they removed all conal AOEs and made them circular on a universal level, removed a whole spec from a healer that let them give out shields so they could become a pure healer, and removed even minor things from DPS jobs like Samurai not having a skill that makes their next attack deal more damage (which gave the job identity because people loved to build up towards that big damage strike)
the game is not in a good place currently. I'd say EW is arguably the worst expansion yet.
@Meemoo@Tamamo@Cayhr@weissrespecter Wait, they curbed aggro as a mechanic? Isn't like half of the gameplay of an MMO riding the fine line between lots of damage and so much damage the boss decides you're the problem?
@supersid333@Meemoo@Cayhr@weissrespecter For WoW, aggro management for DPS was pretty much non exsistant in WoTLK while in the previous xpac Burning Crusade you needed to use agro dump skills and/or hold back DPS because if you stole agro from the tank and the boss turned around to wards the rest of the raid it was GG.
The same thing happened in Tera at some point. Tanking used to be a delicate balance of being aggressive to keep agro and careful to avoid damage with Lancer.
Then they ruined tanking forever by introducing the Brawler class and making aggro management non existent and tanking completely braindead.
