So now that its coming out in 30 days, which is hella exciting, I have but one question.
What kind of reception must this game have in order to attract newcomers? I am under the assumption that most of us here are not on the fence about picking up this game. Personally, outside of reviews, I want them to have a well directed trailer (Omen was great, but something more for TV/YouTube that's mostly shot in game). Maybe even have YouTubers either go to their studio to play/record the game, or get sent early copies of the game with the ability to post footage of certain sections of the game (so like up to chapter 3, only 30 minute sections at a time, no story mission cutscenes or something like that). In terms of reviews, I am thinking it has to sit somewhere around 85 to even pique the interest of the (and I hate this word, but I can't think of another atm) casual crowd. This is because of the fact that it has the name of Final Fantasy and Square Enix behind it. It will be expected to be one of the greats (although maybe that isn't quite right because of the public's view on XIII and XVI 1.0), and because of that people will immediately think of Skyrim and TW3, which both have scores in the 90s.
Idk, those are my thoughts on the matter, what do you guys think?
