Coming from the words of the DLC director, full interview not out yet.
Incoming 20 page thread full of people arguing whether or not he's lying based on completely anecdotal claims?

The kids are alright.
But seriously, XVI has issues, but I think this just goes to show that this is another template they should iterate on (despite Kujiraoka's lack of committal in the interview).
Between this and XIV, it seems like CBU3 is generally better at reaching younger gamers than CBU1 is.
>On Era
Pick one.
This is a joke I'm sure there are some younguns on Era.

It absolutely was. It's basically a navel-gazing 'LOOK, OLD FOLKS! IT'S ALL THIS STUFF YOU REMEMBER' game.
I doubt XVI's metrics actually skewed "more young people than old people", though. These kinds of interview translations are always kind of rough, but it sounds like what he's actually saying is that the share of young players increased compared to the last survey.
Love to hear it. Awesome video game, more games should be inspired by Game of Thrones!
We're the same age and no, this is very old RIP
29 gang rise up!
I'm really glad that younger players are jumping into the series for the first time, if they play and enjoy 16 there are countless legacy titles available to jump into across all platforms.
Despite the doom and gloom around here I think the franchise is in a good spot.

I loved XVI and appreciated the more serious tone. That's not to say that every Final Fantasy game needs to be GoT grimdark, but reducing the overly tropey anime vibe from the previous games went a long way to helping me love the story. I think VIIR is great, but some scenes are rough from a writing perspective.
I dunno if that's the reason younger players gravitated to it, but it's a trend I hope to see going forward in Final Fantasy. Either way, I'm glad they seem to have strengthened the brand a little.

Alrighty then.
Good to hear.

Lmao!!
Enjoy your back pain and Geritol, Octogenarian. Try not to break a hip.
I'm 33
The last thing a young person would do nowadays is sign up on a videogame forum.
Can confirm, my cousin who is a typical teenager boy (Minecraft, Fortnite, COD, Rocket league), play single player sometimes like GOW, Spiderman, RE and he recently also was interested in FF16, however he thought FF7 rebirth was a weird game and had no interest in it at all
Ironic that writing a more mature story roped in more young folks. Maybe that's what they want. I know that's what I would have wanted and kids are growing up faster than ever.
I, a 30 year old male, don't know of any teenagers that bought FF16, however, i know a lot of 30 year olds who bought the game, thus making this claim false.
LMAO
I actually made this one moment my cover (?) profile picture here on Era a few months ago
