I just realised something seeing all the Fallout sales boost news based on the TV show's popularity.

Square's intention with the FF movie and the Compilation of FFVII, and to a lesser extent with XIII (no movie) and XV (video animated movie) was to create a synergy feedback loop between movies and games that would increase sales for both.

Fallout has just done what they have always tried to do, while Rebirth's sales underperform.

If they commissioned a Final Fantasy live action show in a similar vein to Fallout and The Last of Us (did game sales get a boost?), could that potentially boost FF game sales and make FF the behemoth Square need it to be?

It requires that the film/miniseries/tv show to be extremely good or hyper popular enough to create that synergy. I don’t remember any Final Fantasy stuff from other media being even considered good. I love FFVII, but is probably impossible to adapt to any other medium without being an anime kitsch, like Advent Children proved. Nier has anime and stage plays, Dragon Quest had a popular anime/manga and a Anime film, FF has a lot failed films and anime.

The whole reason why they consider FFXVI a success in expanding the franchise is also because is more grounded, so is probably easier to adapt if the opportunity arises.

I know we're all thinking the same thing right now. Sydney Sweeney as Tifa.

Responding late, and haven't been able to stay caught up with the thread ...

I think in general that modern social media algorithms lead people toward extremism, Tik Tok included. If Tik Tok is specifically goosing people toward one end or another I do not know. What I'm more concerned about is disinfo campaigns like Russia performed in the 2016 election, but this time the platform is owned by an opposing state. And I'd put China in the opposing state group considering it's support if Russia after Russians invasion of Ukraine, as well as the tensions over a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

Being anti genocide is not "extremism"

Poor Thordinson can't post in any US politic thread for a week?! Oh no!

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing Concerns Around Racism

It's an attention grabbing list of bad incidents. Could do something similar for any automotive company, honestly--they all have very dirty laundry. That's why I mentioned VW, they're out almost $40B in fines and settlements for dieselgate, how many people are taking principled stands against owning a VW?

Nice forum, BChump.

Learning my review was posted on the old forum AND on r/KotakuinAction so that explains the comments I'm getting.

My dude, what the fuck do you expect? Also, not the only places it was posted.

Well.. they aren't going to vote for Biden? He's kinda right. 

Damn, finally found a group of people that you can’t completely dismiss by calling them maga losers. 

I’m not defensive and I’m also not apologizing to the MAGA weirdos with anime porn in their timeline

maybe tend to your own goddam garden.

I'm glad Stellar Blade reviews so well because now these chuds can't claim what I'm sure they wanted to. I'm very sure they were hoping for low scores, or even just 6-7s across the board so they can scream about "LE WOKE JOURNALISTS!"

But now that plan is gone and died, they have to latch onto this "Hard-R" graffiti. Not thinking for a second that Shift Up genuinely could've just made a genuine mistake, someone pointed it out, and they changed it.

Never mind that the article was posted by Kat Bailey just at the same moment that the review embargo was over. Never mind that it was assholes like Zeo that tried to make it a thing… is always the fucking CHUDS and never your own obsession with a culture war.

Still not realizing that at least three of those posters are mocking the other ones.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

From the Shogun thread.

What's wrong with The Last Samurai?

All I can think of is a quote from Paul mooney

"Hollywood is crazy..the last samurai starring Tom Cruise? Give me a break That movie was offensive. Hollywood is crazy, I mean first they got The Mexican with Brad Pitt and now we got The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise, well I've written a film, maybe they'll produce my film.

The Last Nigga on Earth starring Tom Hanks." - Paul Mooney

That guy is completely missing the point of the movie. Cruise isn't the last Samurai. Ken Watanabe is.

Sure? But it's still a white savior story, where the perfect white guy comes in, learns how to be more native than the natives, uphold their values, fight other white people to defend the natives, fall in love with the exotic woman, and then go home. Don't get me wrong, well made movie, but a tropey savior flick at its core.

Who did he saved?

 mad that white folks hit up Nippon.

Thank you for sharing this and it's sad to see non-English speaking places also get infected by this culture war regressive garbage. But as you said Italy is getting to be fascist with the prime minister now, so the bigoted white men are primed to come out with their true selves.

Bro it's a fucking video game not the next coming of Hitler..

??

When? Too my recollection, he survives and has a brief audience with the emperor.

Mind you, that idiots contention is bullshit, he isn't a savoir at all, just a stand in for the audience. But pretty sure he makes it through the end.

[Polident]

Fact that Last Samurai is hugely popular in Japan makes the white savior argument a case of a white savior complex in itself.
