Ariana Grande Joins Final Fantasy

[Freya]

Well then. That's interesting? I kinda adore her so I guess this is cool? Guess I need to play Exivius more.

[MJN SEIFER]

She seems so happy in that tweet, I think she's genuinely a fan. I'm really happy for her!

I'll admit I'm really out of the loop with Final Fantasy these days, but it's cool they've done this in my opinion.

[charliepanayi]

The sexism is rampant in here! She does not need to prove that she is a fan. Nor should we be looking to try and frame her as 'fake' honestly. She has been paid to do a job and lend her likeness to a mobile game and she's excited about it. Leave her alone.

I think you misunderstand me. I hate when a company uses anyone who is pop culture to sell a product. I would rather see them voice a person on a big game then just be made a Sprite to sell the online product.

How about when a FF game is used to sell a product?

[Mirage]

The FF9 coke commercial was dumb. Not as dumb as American Express in FF15, though.

[Jinx]

Who cares if she's a fan or not? Does it really matter? Also there are lots of game series I have no interest in or actively dislike, but if I was being put into the game (even a troutty mobile game...which people need to keep in mind when they're getting their panties twisted IT'S A TROUTTY MOBILE GAME) I would be super excited.

Also, who cares if she's getting paid? She uh, SHOULD BE. Even if she's excited, they're using her likeness. If THEY went to HER, they should be paying her. If she's just a crazy hella fan who wanted to have this done just for the honor, then it'd be a little different (just like how Whoopi Goldberg didn't get paid for any of her appearances in TNG. She just loved the show so much she wanted to be in it).

tl;dr who smurfing cares

[Depression Moon]

I heard this game was actually good, so I care a little more from when I initially saw this news.

[Fynn]

It's decent. Definitely better than the disappointment that was Record Keeper, but it still has the same format as all other mobile RPGs which sucks

I don't think you're able to give an accurate assessment of RK's current quality. You played what, a couple of days in the early beta? Game's come a loooong way since then. It's like saying ARR sucks because the original XIV did.

Also, Record Keeper is literally a better game than Final Fantasy XII. Not even trolling.

[Fynn]

To you, maybe. I was disappointed. And no, I stuck for a good month or two. It had all the reliance on series nostalgia of Theatrhythmwithout the gameplay that would keep me coming back to that game. I'm glad you like it, but to me it seriously lacks substance. Substance that XII has plenty of, mind you

[Psychotic]

Alright Fynn, I'M CALLIN' YOU OUT SON. Who are the characters you've unlocked in RK?

I don't care if you don't remember and you deleted the app, you will reinstall the app THIS MINUTE and inform me, an internet stranger, immediately!

[Fynn]

I am too busy coping after Christmas and playing FFIX - you know, an actual good FF - to be bothered to do that, Psy

But I can tell you this thread has made me re-download Brave Exvius, which can tell you a whole lot about how much more fun I had with it rather than with RK

[Psychotic]

That's fair enough. It's not for everyone, I guess. It can be a bit too strategic and complex for more casual gamers. Enjoy your game

[Fynn]

That's rich, coming from someone who's never played any of the FFT games or MegaTen

[Psychotic]

Psst: I've beaten FFT and FFTA. Incidentally I only played FFT because I really liked Ramza and Agrias in FFRK

[Fynn]

At least something good has come out of it
