What do you mean, the event ended a few hours

[0blivion0athkeeper 2]

Oh. Are there any new trailers?

[Otti#8624 26]

Lots of them

[Otti#8624 26]

I think IGN has all the trailers on them

[Liftea 12]

man the reactions to clive are hilarious

[raiden94 1]

Oh I know lol all the peeps that wanted Tifa are coping and seething

[Liftea 12]

Twitter: "The best FF protagonists joins Tekken!" "Where's Tifa but Clive is cool too though"

Bsky same

Tekken Subreddit "What is this shit who needs this?!"

[raiden94 1]

Yo Tea what's the salt been like for Astro winning?

[Liftea 12]

Tifa can still be in season 2 so the stans haven't given up yet

People that are mad about Astrobot are people who haven't played Astrobot

as much as I love Rebirth and Metaphor I am glad both games didn't win

the Final Fantasy and Atlus fans don't deserve their favorite game winning this award

I feel bad for the devs though

these devs deserve better fanbases

[raiden94 1]

I wanted Metaphor to win because it would have showed that Turn based combat is not only better than action based But that kts better than whatever hybrid bullshit Rebirth is.

It wasn't just about Rebirth

It was about making a statement for the genere.

[Liftea 12]

it's hilarious how everyone was shitting on FF16 after Rebirth got released and portrayed the game as the saviour of Final Fantasy just so it ends up winning the exact same award as FFXVI

[raiden94 1]

You did the same thing 😭

[raiden94 1]

You were like

[Liftea 12]

ofc I was firetruck the entire FF fandom

[raiden94 1]

"Om G Rebirth gameplay is how they should all be now MEIN GOTT I'm gonna -"

[raiden94 1]

So what was your real opinon then 😭

[Liftea 12]

you know what's funny. the reason why turn-based got perceived like this is because of western devs shitting on japanese games during the ps3 era and now the same happens with western games where they get called inferior compared to japanese games

[raiden94 1]

Oh yeah I remember

[raiden94 1]

It was a superiority complex + thinly masked xenophobia.

Folks get uncomfortable when u call it that but that's what it is lol

[Liftea 12]

it's why you still see people calling Metaphor or Persona not being real videogames

[Otti#8624 26]

That was about the art style and their storytelling, not the turn based

[Liftea 12]

it's just gatekeeping

[Otti#8624 26]

Turn based has been used in western games for ages too

And even those took a downward turn

Their big popularity boost was with BG3 last year

[raiden94 1]

Are you sure? Cause I've always seen people go ham on the turn based hate

[raiden94 1]

They're not all like Muki about it sure but
