Re: Final Fantasy XV

After playing the demo it helped me how the combat in ff type 0 was supposed to be played. As old school as i am, i really enjoy this type of battle system. Much like Valkyrie Profile it was unique, eye opening if you stuck to it to understand it.

Enjoying FF type 0 a lot more now. Can't wait for this to release.

The game looks absolutely stunning, the combat is real-time and looks amazing, and check out the animations and physics, I've been waiting for an rpg where the characters move realistically! I was always bothered by RPG's where the character models look great but they moved like a Nintindo game, ruined the experience for me. This will definitely be my first Final Fantasy game since FFX. Be sure to check out the end of the 2nd video for an amazing summon.

Kotaku: We'll Be Lucky To See Final Fantasy XV Next Year

In a bizarre, frustrating live presentation from Gamescom this afternoon, FFXV director Hajime Tabata teased a few story details—and showed some brief gameplay footage—without answering the question everyone really cares about: after nearly a decade of development, when is this game coming out? This coming May will mark the ten-year anniversary of Final Fantasy Versus XIII’s announcement. In June, it’ll have been three years since Square announced that they’d rebranded Versus as FFXV and moved it to current-gen platforms. How much longer do they expect people to wait?

Instead, we got a trailer that’s nearly 50% hugs. We got a few non-answers about airships and plot points (“Please look forward to more in the future!”) and we learned that they’re going to launch a forum soon (but it’s not ready yet, because Final Fantasy XV). We also learned that their next live presentation will be at PAX Prime in three weeks, where they plan to show the same trailer again. They’re also gonna show it at TGS.

What we didn’t get was any sort of assurance that Final Fantasy XV is coming out any time soon, which is one of the reasons fans are dismissing today’s presentation as a disaster. (“I’m crying and laughing at the same time here,” wrote one GAF poster. “Please send help.”) People are sick of the insignificant story morsels and promises that Tabata and team keep teasing out at these live presentations. Everyone just wants to play the damn game.

So maybe we’ll see FFXV next year. Maybe the demo’s Duscae region is actually the only thing they’ve built so far, and we’ll see the game in the fall of 2017. Maybe the pressure’s really getting to them. Who knows? For now, here’s footage of Noctis dying to a Malboro. Please look forward to more in the future.

Re: Final Fantasy XV

I have to say I do miss the old school turn based combat. I kind of wish we could stick to "our roots" a little more often with technology/entertainment, but it seems like every aspect of games has to be "innovative" now.

Final Fantasy Tactics might be my favorite game of all time. That was the first game I spent 100+ hours playing. I must have been in sixth grade, maybe 7th. Just a phenomenal game.

It's so strange that I when I think about my favorite games of all time I quite often forget about FFT, then someone brings it up and I remember, "oh, yeah, overall, this is one of my top 6 or 7 games ever, and is probably number one in terms of gameplay."

Re: Final Fantasy XV

Not sure what I just played, but I didn't much enjoy it. Combat feels very rigid and unresponsive. The latter is probably not helped by the dodgy frame rate. IQ is really poor too.

I want to get excited about Final Fantasy again, but that demo was underwhelming.

Re: Final Fantasy XV

Here's the PC confirmation:

Final Fantasy XV on Twitter:
The DX11 generation tech used for #FFXV is for console only. Once FFXV is out on console we may look at a higher spec version for PC

Re: Final Fantasy XV

Dear God don't let it be some Win10 bull**** exclusive. That would suck.

If it's DX12, it will be Windows 10.

Re: Final Fantasy XV

Just loaded up the demo, and I'm already like...wtf? (in a bad way)

Spoiler

I mean, wtf? A creature that talks to you by sending texts to your phone? How lame is that. All the trailers showing you driving around in a convertible and such. Just is not Final Fantasy to me. FFX was the last good one, I keep hoping they will get the magic back, but I think it is gone.

Re: Final Fantasy XV

Played the demo earlier, and I'm not impressed with the combat at all. The graphics look amazing, but the gameplay just doesn't cut it for me. The combat is not fluid, dumbdown, and doesn't work at all. Was expecting for there to be combos, but there isn't any. Instead all you do is hold O to attack, then switch weapons with the D-Pad, and hold/press Square to dodge.

I hope they improve this combat system, because if that the system there putting in the final game then it going to be lack luster and not live up to the hype.

Re: Final Fantasy XV

I'm left with the same feeling I had after playing 13 - it doesn't seem like Final Fantasy anymore. I know that the series has always evolved from game to game, but it's gone into something so different that it doesn't even resemble its old self anymore, and it's pushed me away. Lightning Returns was the first offline one I didn't purchase at all, and I may well end up doing the same here. There are at least 4 RPG titles coming out this year that I have more interest in than this one (and ironically, 2 of them are published by Square-Enix).

I agree. I just feel like, over time, it's beginning to lose it's "soul."
