Probably should have just made it a regular game, and not a micro transaction grindfest. that, and releasing it on switch only was monumentally fucking stupid. i would have been interested in a multiplat kart racer, but if i'm limited to switch, i'm obviously just going to play mario kart. it's like they wanted it to fail --- The stone that fell is still falling, so let that stone be a wondrous thing <cite>viewmaster_pi posted [p:970339416] in Square-Eni...

CARRRNE_ASADA 12/22/22 12:46:40 PM #8:	SQ is run by morons. The first chocobo dungeons and gp games worked cause they were released amidst Squaresoft rpg dominance. Kids today which should be a big part of the target demographics have no nostalgia or connections to chocobos. FF is mainly a grown up favorite game and those dont care about cutesy character races specially when theyre ripping you off. --- SEXY SEXY! <cite>CARRRNE_ASADA posted [p:970339434] in Square-Eni...

Hambo 12/22/22 1:07:31 PM #11:	I played the free version for a bit, but even that was underwhelming. Races were like a minute long and items were OP. At least the item that just teleports you across the track. Then the microtransactions in the full game looked wretched. Apparently after one season it was supposed to be easier to unlock things in subsequent seasons or something, but idk the details. --- Hambo's alt. <cite>Hambo posted [p:970339801] in Square-Eni...

Questionmarktarius 12/22/22 1:30:48 PM #17:	Mtx servers are only sustained so long as the Mtx brings in more than the server takes out, or some predetirmined revenue floor is passed.
