XboxEra Community Hangout |OT13| The Bakers Dozen

What in the actual Upside Down are we currently living through? Completely understand why this is happening, just insane that it’s happening at all, given what Intel accounts for.

Imagine if they do end up finally announcing FF7R, FF16 and insert any other big Japanese games we’ve missed out on. The games didn’t do super well, so obviously they want to release these games on more platforms, so just announce them. Even if they might not release this year anymore. Ideally they do.

The pixel remasters is cool and all, but that doesn’t get my hype going. It’s probably still best to keep expectations in check anyway and let them surprise us. And someone here said they might wait until the last of the trilogy is out, but I hope they don’t, that could take years.

Random thought: I noticed that cat in the background moves. How adorable.

Anyway, I’ll keep my expectations in check as usual but I am looking forward to it.

If Jez knows more than we, sigh. Announce that cursed game already, sheesh.

I think it’s too soon for FF7. People expect it to come but might not even be in active development yet.

I like to think they let the Pro get some shine before Series X can produce good enough quality. But I digress.

Seems it will be real-time?

Yeah it’s an action game

Yeah, the turn-based style was explained by Ichiban Kasuga seeing everything as a video game, namely Dragon Quest.

But isn’t that a bit surprising, wasn’t Yakuza/Lad now TB all the way? Or perhaps only mainline?

It’s good with me though, action/real-time over it any day

Sony is willing to pay to keep it off Xbox. If they have to chose between paying to have a game come to ps+ or stay off Xbox, they’ll chose to eke stuff off Xbox every time

The last gaiden game was action too. All of the side games have been action

Yes. It’s basically similar to the older Yakuza games but with ship combat, ability to jump and attack enemies in mid-air which all sounds great to me.

Okay, just got a full screen dashboard advert on boot for the EA Trial of FC25!

Someone let Sloth/Tom Warrn know, ooft. That’s a series of headlines for sure. First time a third party advert has appeared there.

But it seems they are fine with FF16 coming to Xbox, assuming we finally actually are getting that. Man it’s tiresome, sigh.

That’s very good. That way they keep fans of both type of battle systems satisfied!

That sounds awesome. I have yet to properly finish 0,let alone the rest but it’s definitely something I’d play. Love me some real time combat and the jumping is a nice addition.

The 400 seems indeed high but who knows if they were adding cinematics perhaps they had a full-length movie done. Concord maybe dead as a game but maybe they were hoping for a Tv series or theatrical movie.

It has one episode in that anthology series on Prime that is yet to be released. They were definitely counting on it to be big as dare I say OW.
