Here's a nearly half hour video in which Woolie and Pat spend the entire time spitballing ways for the modern video game industry (focusing on, but not exclusively talking about, Final Fantasy and Square Enix) to potentially stop sucking so bad. The gist: their main suggestion is to scale back and make smaller, less grandiose, less "biggest ever (until next time)" games. Which SE is actually already doing, apparently, it's just that they're not calling them Final Fantasy.
I think it's probably too little too late, but their suggestions would certainly be better than for the AAAAAAA industry to just keep doing things the grossly unsustainable way they're being done now.
The most recent Final Fantasy I've touched is still just FF13, back in 2010, and I don't foresee that changing any time soon.
Maybe if FF15 wasn't unfortunate enough to have gotten in early on those incredibly shitty lifetime Denuvo licenses (as opposed to the yearly subscription licenses that Irdeto sells now, which are way "better," in my eyes, due to the fact that they eventually expire rather than last forever), I'd have played that one by now. The way it looks at this point, though, I'll probably never play Final Fantasy XV (unless they remaster/remake it or something, such that it'd only be infected with Denuvo for a year after release, rather than in perpetuity, and then I see it on a huge sale afterward).
Or maybe if I happen to see FF16 (including the DLC) on a 80-90% off sale, I might bite on that one, since the Denuvo infestation has been cleaned out of that one, at least.
