Dont the games mention that Adol had over a hundred/hundreds of adventures? Falcom's gonna take forever to show us all of them! (and they'll somehow then take even longer to remake Ys V!)

Y'all think FFXVI could give TotK (and Starfield maybe?) a run for it's money with GOTY outlets? I certainly wouldn't mind since it would be a less predictable result especially with the amount of strong contenders this year.

I'm not sure…I think it'll be one of the better FF games and score 90+

But reviews really like deep mechanical games that are layered with systems like Zelda and Starfield. FF16 performances and combat mechanics have to be outstanding to even be in the conversation, but I would say mechanics are more valued than performances so Zelda and Starfield will take more awards.

But if that happens it's tomatoes tomato's imho. SE and Sony would be super happy for a 90+ "best FF story ever" game this year.

I can say with good faith that 16 has a great chance of hitting 90+ based on what i played this morning :)

Gonna have to try and finish that FF16 demo sometime today or tomorrow. Only got about 45 mins to an hour in and things keep coming up.

Still unsure if it's something I'd wanna buy, so we'll see where the demo leads me 😁

Nicola Sebastiani was a high-profile appointment when he joined in 2021, having previously led Apple's business management team before becoming Apple Arcade's head of content, in an eight-year stint at the iPhone maker.

Sebastiani was responsible for building PlayStation's mobile team and was key in Sony's acquisition of Savage Game Studios.

Hehe, we shall see. I need something to break away from Destiny 2 for a while since it's the endless black hole that sucks in all my gaming time. Spider-Man 2 is too far away, so FF16 might be able to fill that role. We shall see.

Usually with executives they hire externally, they need to show results quickly or they get the axe. He had 2 years and the plan probably wasn't good enough for Sony's leadership. Especially given what he was probably paid and his supposed expertise.

It's also likely that Sony's mobile vision changed over the past 2 years as well.

I think Savage was working on some third-person shooter mobile game that looked pretty promising from the prototype footage we saw a while back. I think Sony will need to buy more mobile studios to make a dent in the mobile space though.

Yea that is obvious no clue who though. Then again we had no idea about Savage before. So it will be interesting to see.

I assume they have more games than just Savage's multiplayer game so maybe they'll wait to see how the games turn out before acquiring more mobile studios?

I do wonder how many mobile games they're currently working on - I remember seeing a Team Asobi job listing relating to an external mobile game so they must exist...

Not sure if anyone picked it up yet, but A9VG's favorite leaker Xun posted a new thread on Friday, June 16: https://bbs.a9vg.com/thread-8920308-1-1.html

For some context, Xun regularly leaks PlayStation-related announcements with image-based riddles, which are usually spot on.

Here's the GIF:

XG167U4.gif


And more importantly, here are the two frames of the GIF:

BsfpoSk.gif


9pTue3D.gif


The map in the first frame of the GIF is directly from Shin Megami Tensei V:

U48HIdI.jpg


The text on the screen in the second image reads "Complete Edition" several times over. This screen is a reference to a glitch from Shin Megami Tensei 1, as pointed out by Tfritz.

To the left of the GIF you can see Stephen Hawking. The Shin Megami Tensei series features a wheelchair-bound recurring character named Stephen, who notably did not appear in Shin Megami Tensei V: https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Stephen

And the image itself is directly from the Shin Megami Tensei 2021 concert:

pcSDHDv.jpg


Based on all this, I'm guessing he's teasing a "Shin Megami Tensei V: Complete Edition" announcement soon. Maybe at the rumored Nintendo Direct (but for all platforms)?

Edit: The image itself is literally from the Shin Megami Tensei 2021 concert. Updated above.

Edit 2: The "Complete Edition" screen is a reference to a glitch from Shin Megami Tensei 1, as pointed out by Tfritz. Updated above.

Edit 3: The map image is actually directly from Shin Megami Tensei V. Updated above.

Yes, it is obvious that if they want to enter the mobile market, they have to have several studios. The problem is, what mobile studios are there? I only know Madfinger. Unless Sony acquires a publisher that also has mobile games *cough* Square *cough*
