FF15 failed because it started life in 2013 as project Nova Crystalis and then as Project Verses 13 both of which were canceled and reworked into what would eventually become FF15.
I'm not praising BG3, if anything I dislike it. I am merely proving the original poster regarding FF's decline and how the SRPG genre has been in shambles for a long while.
I mean the games have had women and girls in compromising positions with unsavory men since day 1 and FE fans on the internet have always been weird about rape. It's why GhebFE exists. In FE6, people love to pretend like Clarine was raped by Narcian even though Clarine doesn't even remember who he is the next time they interact. Half of the discussion I see about Kaga games is about how epic and wacky it is that his games consistently have some girl being hypnotized and/or about to be taken advantage of in the first chapter, like Berwick Saga.
I only played 3 BFE and yes, it feels like a unity asset swap. Doesn't help that the levels are entirely flat and the lighting looks like a default sun source setting, or that the enemies don't match the environment at all, we're in flatland egypt with headless guys running at your with cartoon cannonball bombs and cyber spiders.
I don't buy into the idea that Japanese Usenet was squeaky clean when things like Lolita Syndrome were being made and winning awards in 1983.
There's too many FFs, and they've ran out of ideas. They're just going to milk XIV until they die.
source? not that I don't believe you, just for reference later. that shit is so latent sexist I'm laughing my ass off "well, she looked like a weak women".. it also showed they haven't played tomb raider at all or even watched the fucking movies.
I believe it was deleted and I can't find an original link to pull an archive of, but the quote was used more than once so it must've came from some interview, but for the life of me I can't find anything. Not hard to believe however...I'll let you know if I can find a link, or if someone else better at it finds it for me.
People laughed when I pointed this out in the GTA thread, but I feel like a similar thing has happened with the GTA 6 characters between the September 2022 leaks and the December 2023 trailer:
I always used to laugh at how there were so many Final Fantasies, but that's just because I am dumb.
Attractive women exist for the male gaze, which is bad. Strong women hate men and aren't interested in being looked at. Strong women are ugly.
Given how many Trannies are in FF14..that is gonna be an awful job.
I know you're being sarcastic, but you really do an excellent job of highlighting how truly stupid the modern game devs are.
The male gaze is why the human species has survived all these years.

The biggest reasons you'd use GOG is because they offer their games via DRM free installers, they have a lot of older titles that Steam does not anymore (if they ever did)...and they have a lot of smutty games that Steam doesn't. They're not as good as Steam, but I think GOG's niche is secured.
