About time.

I mean, I feel like outside of 16 and Rebirth, everything else they've released has been multiplatform already?

So now mainline FF will be. Ok. Should be fine on Switch 2, though don't expect them to push PS5/PS6 visuals much if they have to make sure the games run on Switch 2.
SE is doomed anyhow, so doesn't really matter.

Most of Japan is on Switch. You have a lot of your key audience on that system. Only FF diehards bought XVI and VII Rebirth and how many diehards does FF really have anymore? You milked your product dry. Four years after original remake? FF is nothing like how it was in its prime. Splitting one of the most hotly anticipated remakes into a three part game. So many factors.

Make the next FF for Switch, PS, and PC. Push aesthetic over cutting edge graphics. Make it turn based Ike FFX/1-III or have ATB. Go back to basics. Make Kitase direct and hire Naora to write. Downscale Nomura esque hijinks. They do not help when you need organization in a time of battle. Potentially hire Sakaguchi as advisor or producer. He’s amazing at seeing talent and putting it in the right holes. Save FF. FFXVII should be a back to basics affair. Turn based is cool again. Baldurs Gate III just ransack shyt.

FF has more than a platform problem. FFXVI is on ps5 and pc and has been utterly forgotten. It was also the first major FF (and now Rebirth) I haven’t bought since becoming a fan with FFVII in 1997.

Save the franchise.

Oh sure now it's white men who are the bad guys. Maybe stop being such a racist cunt?

The cultural appropriation from Ubisoft is pathetic, and you're falling for it.

Imagine wanting to play as a japanese protagonist in an fuedal japanese setting smh. RACIST RACIST!!!!

And you're gonna say "But the female is japanese! Whats the beef?" Well my question is why is she a fictional character, and he isn't? What's the point of having Yasuke in there?

Either way if you don't like it you're labeled a racist, or a snowflake or whatever. It's so fucking pathetic and clear Reeee strategy. Are you imploying that BS here too?

I love CJ. He's my fav GTA protag. Marcus from WD2 is dope. Plenty of black protagonists and characters I adore.

This does not fit within the setting. Plenty of japanese gamers seem not to be amused either.

In previous AC games (with the exception of Eivor in Valhalla), all the protagonists are indigenous to their country in which you play. But why not here? When people have been clamoring for a AC game set in Japan since forever?

White men are always crying. They’re easily the worst gamers.

Why are they using the “he was only a retainer” argument? These dudes know nothing about samurai. Mitsuhide Akechi, one of Oda’s most loyal men, and the man infamous for betraying and killing him, was one of his retainers. Yet no one would debate Mitsuhide was a samurai. Moreover, even Hideyoshi Toyotomi, the future shogun and one of the three great uniters, was also a retainer of Oda. Essentially, being a retainer is high rank and definitely qualifies under the prerequisites of the definition of samurai. They’re just too ignorant and racist to know otherwise.

But nope. Here comes the white experts.

Didn’t have a problem having Nioh having a white lead. Didn’t make any noise of Tom Cruise being the Last Samurai. But any time there’s a black lead for anything there’s riots and talk of boycott from San Andreas to this. Even the black made Metroidvania Tales of Kenzera is accused of being DEI. It gets to a point where black people realize cacs only have a problem when there’s a black main character of anything irregardless of context.

Imagine waking up and being a hateful, filthy, pasty, unlotioned cac. Today I woke up and thanked Allah that I was moisturized. Racist whites are the enemy. I wish their mothers swallowed them instead of giving them birth. One less racist cracker on the streets of America. Pathetic, vile, weak race of men. Always wah wah-ing when they’re easily the weakest bunch in the whole barrel.

Listen the DEI nonsense isnt what Im talking about but theres a legitimate gripe for wanting to play as a legit japanese character in a japanese setting.

Its why Im excited to play Ghost of Tushima and bought it right away.

With Ubisofts storytelling sensibilities, Im not really sure the story will be good at all. I havent liked a Ubisoft story since Watch Dogs 2.

I love Afro Samurai. I have no issue with some shit like that.

But to me this DOES feel like pandering regardless of the DEI sheit which Im not a fan of. And yeah its a real shame Tales of Kenzaru was bombarded with that bullshit as well. I still want to play that.

Edit-

maybe its not pandering but it does come across as Ubisoft saying nah fuck that we aint putting in a male asian protagonist.

Nioh was made by a japanese team. And adams was a real important person. But they have the freedom to picture their culture however they want.

Isnt it cultural appropriation for french canadians (mostly white people I might remind you) for them to reenvision it this way?

Cacs have been mad at black main characters including Mafia III and Prototype 2. They will say this is about being in Japan but Yasuke was a real person and a real samurai. No, it’s about blackness. Crackers are the enemy and treat us as such.

The past few years have had numerous samurai games you can choose from: Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, the upcoming Rise of the Ronin, and more. Many begged Ubi to make this game for over a decade and they were beaten to the punch in more ways than one. It seems obvious to me they don’t want to be compared to Ghost of Tsushima and others and wanted to differentiate themselves in an already busy field. But nope. Crackers gotta cry. Crackers: Shadows Cry First.

There are some Japanese people not liking it either- "I wanted to play as a Japanese ninja," etc.

SURPRISE BITCHES YOU *DO* play as a Japanese ninja.  The main character is a kunoichi and she is the one who does all the assassin's Creed style missions and recruits members to a plan and builds up a base. Yasuke is apparently going to be something different play wise.

For all the claims of this game being "woke" I think it's a pretty cool choice that they made with Yasuke. Makes it stand out.

Most likely not going to buy it however because ass crud games are shit. :doge

We don't really know too much about Yasuke tbh.  He may have not even been from Africa. 

He is listed as a retainer in some articles, but keep in mind that right now for some reason people are deciding to edit Wikipedia to make it fit their narrative. He was allowed to own a house and he did have a sword. But he wasn't a samurai- and who cares because it's just a title.  Also none of this matters because it's a video game and it's not trying to be historically accurate. It's not even the first time he's been in a video game for that matter. He was in samurai Warriors 5 for example.

Nobody is saying that everybody in Japan is against this. I am quite certain that there's plenty of people who are just happy to see a game with the setting in Japan and think it's cool that they went with Yasuke- he had a bit of a surge in popularity a few years ago too what with an anime and sw5 too.

Ubisoft allegedly changed the original main character of this game to yasuke and I assume the female ninja. I still don't understand what the uproar about this is to be honest with you- this makes the game stand out more compared to other similar type of titles.

And I'm not sure what the tweet you posted really means. I also have a B.A. in East Asian studies from my university- doesn't make me an expert on this. Yasuke's story is vague.

Only thing I'll say about this is that, I love Viking shit... But Valhalla sucked ass... Couldn't finish that bloated mess.  Fuck Ubisoft.

I like 'original' Star Wars shit too, but with how Ubi is plastering a massive paywall behind half the content in Outlaws?.. Fuck them... Keeping my money.

And with this AC, being the same team behind Valhalla, I'm just curious, what makes this game so exciting that hasn't been done already? And most likely better? Will this be better than Sekiro? Tenchu? Onimusha? Nioh? Ghost of Tsushima? Rise of the Ronin?  I would not bet on it.  Easy pass for me.

I really enjoyed Rise of The Ronin myself. Really was kind of an interesting entry into Japanese history and culture.

I wasn't going to play AC whatever. I do think it's lame they have chosen Yuske as a main character when it really should have been a Japanese person.

Quote
Yasuke (弥助 or 弥介) was a man, likely of African origin, who served as a servant and retainer to the Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga in 1581–1582, during the Sengoku period.[2] He was retained by the daimyō as a koshō (小姓, page) for a period of 15 months until Nobunaga's death in the Honnō-ji Incident.[/b]

And while most accounts say that he was African, it's not confirmed and one account said that he was from India.  Nobody even knows what his real name is!  "Yasuke" is what Nobunaga called him.

Game is pretty good.  Once you get the timing for combat down, it's pretty stellar and cinematic and feels good as hell.  The stealth is good, but pretty average.  Landscapes are obviously beautiful, but the second half will get boring cuz it gets really repetitive.  Great game over all, just a bit too much by the numbers, but feels remarkably authentic. 

I'm one of the few people that feels the game does not need a sequel, but we all know it's happening, which is unfortunate to me... Just hope they really expound more on levels design (bigger, more complex compounds) and more cool ninja techniques.. Similar to the cool shit you could do in Tenchu: Fatal Shadows.

Gonna wait on this despite all the positive reviews- just get the feeling there's going to be hinge issues popping up or problems with the thermals based on the design.

I keep going back and forth on buying one of those lower end handhelds. This GBA SP is appealing. As was the Sega Saturn pad with a screen one. But I have the Steam Deck for bigger emulation. And if you spend a little more the Android handhelds seem more versatile.

Speaking of, Ayn Odin Mini sure looks familiar

Here comes Aya with more emulator handhelds.  That GBA Micro one looks slick.

With Assassins Creed yall freaking out about a nothing burger.

The main character is obviously the Shinobi waifu doing the stealth, the "warrior" class in these modern AC games is just the Funky Kong easy mode for players who can't stealth.

I skimmed the reviews and I don't get the audience for these things. Sleep mode not working and crappy emulation for anything beyond like PS1 (PSP and N64 seems terrible). Just doesn't seem interesting to me when there are handheld emulators that can run all this stuff great.

Usually third party software comes along to fix some problems. Garlic/Onion and another one that clones the Analogue Pocket UI. And the hardware is sometimes around $60.

This.  The GBA SP knock-off is like $58 and a custom os developer already has a working sleep function.



The form factor makes this super pocketable/portable which is also why a lot of people are interested.
