God am I glad they fixed the VFX when attack connects and also implemented proper hitstuns for smaller enemies.
That hitstop when fighting the behemoth looks much better, too
I'm only hoping the progession of the MC is implemented well, like in Kingdom Hearts 2.
I'd be bored looking at the same combo animations for the weapons over and over again.

>>334941846
I hope we get some good FF remixes for the car radio. Costa Del Sol wouldn't go amiss.
The cast looks awful, the world looks boring, the game's too busy pushing the envelope of GREAT GRAFUX to even bother with decent optimization or enjoyable combat, rich metrosexuals on a car saving the world premise is hardly relatable, they're trying really hard to conceal that Luna is now a shit character, probably the only good thing in the game is gonna be the soundtrack and even then it's a little bit too overdone and dramatic from everything that we've heard.
It's probably gonna be mediocre as fuck, just like every Final Fantasy in the past dozen years.
>>334943389
>He thinks P5 and FFXV are competitors
Yeah, because the market is just full of AAA JRPGs right.
>>334941846
It looks like B-roll footage, so I'm guessing some Chinese news site uploaded the whole thing way before any of the footage is allowed to be used.
>>334944185

>>334939416
It's as toned down as it get you closed fag
>>334944042
>rich metrosexuals on a car saving the world premise is hardly relatable
By that logic no FF game has a "relatable" premise.
>>334944478
FF4-6 characters are relatable
In 7 and 9, most of them are.
In 8 and 10, none of them are.
13 feels like it's about aliens.
Is this the tri-daily FFXV flame-war thread? I've been itching to waste eight straight hours of my life arguing armed with nothing but opinions.

>>334938908
There's always that chance that something *could* be good. But 16 years of disappointing Final Fantasy and the state of Square-Enix now, the only good games I expect to see out of S-E anymore are Dragon Quest games because Yuji Horii directs those.
>>334945426
>the demo struggle to display a single room with a single enemy
The only time it "struggled" was either with the Fireworks spell or after killing the Iron Giant. That doesn't look unrealistic at all.
>>334945505
Alas, the date didn't go well. It would appear that a confrontation about Stella/Luna made Kagari reluctant and pushed XV-kun to the sides.

>>334944478
This fallacy again?People have to stop pretending like having a party of only asian looking males was something normal in FF games, or in any JRPG for that matter.
Anyone else having trouble putting down Episode Duscae? Just beat it for the trillionth time yesterday, why is it so fucking comfy? Its like an HD Xenoblade on steroids. I've been grinding to try to kill that giraffasaurus without using Ramuh, and I've been travelling almost exclusively at night because it's pretty and there are more enemies. What's your favorite part about ED?
>>334946112
The point
------------
Your head
>>334946078
This retarded fucking argument again. Listen, is Noctis wearing proper gear to be in combat? Is he in full armor from tip to toe? No, he's not. Because even if that would be practical, it's not what's visually pleasing. If you hadn't noticed, a series like Final FANTASY favors style over practicality. It's a fantasy world. The developers have that freedom. And there is no reason to make a fantasy game as mundane and boring as everyday 9-5 to life.
>>334946112
People have to stop pretending that it's a bad thing
>>334946078
Why not?
>>334946283
>Rich metrosexuals on a car saving the world
Only game that a had a party, or premise remotely close to that was FF8 and even then, it wasn't even close to XV.

Humans sexualize everything, it's in our nature. Thing is that the west was completly pussyfied, so we have to pretend that our medium is pure and politically correct.

>>334946736
Meanwhile in the west, GTAV sells 50 million copies and we still treat like some fanservice from Japan for a niche audience is the disturbing part. SJWs are cancer. They just pick on easy targets.
>>334946850
>niche audience
I agree with you about the rest, but FF is one of the most popular franchises of all time.
>>334946078
I don't understand.
Why would anyone want ugly people in a videogame?
I'm ugly as fuck and I don't want to watch people like me when I play, that's why every famous actor is handsome.
>>334946248
>What's your favorite part about ED?
I really liked the way they built up to the behemoth, it wasn't just another enemy, you had to track it down, stalk it and come up with a plan to take it down together.

>>334938908
>her panties actually cover more than her shorts
What's the point of the shorts then?
>>334946952
Compared to GTA, it's small. FFXV will maybe sell 1/5th of GTAV at the very most. SJWs don't mind kids playing murder simulators in millions but God forbid they see a pair of tits.
>>334946078
The Japanese are very repressed. They've got ridiculous work hours, don't get to see home too often (in the case of salarymen and businessmen anyway), are judged for fucking everything they do, they're even expected to do all the work while fucking. This and much more leads up to a very frustrated, sexually repressed nation that sexualizes literally everything.
>>334946972
SJWs and normalfags think handsome peoples are okay but fabricated, virtual handsome peoples are gross and creepy.

>>334947053
Meanwhile in America
>>334947157
The only difference is that in Japan, the men aren't vilified for enjoying a pair of tits. In the west, it's ok if you're a nigger or any other minority but as white man, you shouldn't be doing that "misogynistic" stuff. You think it's Japan being cucked when it's you being fucked in the ass.
>>334947048
Any game can be considered small compared to GTA V though. Not even Skyrim or CoD comes close to its sales. I'm just saying that FF is way too popular to be called niche.
Agree about the rest though.

>>334947258
>Actually the FFXV director apparently sleep 3 hours a day
That's not uncommon. While their official work hours aren't that bad, work might end at, say, 5 o' clock, their actual work hours are terrible. It's seen as rude to leave before your superiors, and if your boss is at the office until 10-12 at night, then so will the workers. Sure, they could leave, but Japan's a society that has insane values on being polite and a team player, you don't want to be seen as a selfish bastard in Japan. There's also the the whole "go on drinks with your boss after work" thing. That actually happens. If you don't do it, wave bye-bye to opportunities for advancement.
One of the upsides of working in Japan though is that since people spend so long at work, they can be slower about things and even sleep while they're there. Getting fired isn't as easy in Japan as it is elsewhere, your boss will probably bitch at you for sleeping at your desk, but you'll probably be there forever anyway.
>>334947552
The funniest part is that SJWs try to use the argument that ''it doesn't make sense for a mechanic to be wearing such clothes'' and yet, no one complains about Prompt fighting giant monsters with his bare chest. It's hilarious.

The argument of practicality is only ever brought up when it's about something they don't like, not so much about it not being practical. If you play any FF game, you see characters never wear what is most practical. Fucking Cloud sports a sword that weighs more than him. Or Ass Creed Syndicate, SJW bait of the year, has a little frail girl beating the shit out of thugs five times her size. Is that realistic? Sure as fuck not. Will SJWs whine about that? Nope, because it panders to their ideals. It's really not about practicality. It's politics. As it always is with these parasites.

>>334947828
I don't even care about Cidney's retarded mechanic outfit. It's fanservicey to be sure, but it's not that bad, it reminds me of the mechanics/nurses in the original Ghost in the Shell manga; it's terribly unrealistic, but it's just a bit of fanservice that shows up now and then, and that's fine, light fanservice is fun.
I just wish S-E would be honest about it, that's all. No one in the world buys that "She's not supposed to be sexy, just energetic!" excuse.
>>334947931
New info? About damn time. It's already 3 a.m here.
>>334939416
Honestly, why do give a fuck about this?
The only criticism I've heard about this game is "waaah but they look gaaaay ;_;"
Which is ironic considering we're talking about a JRPG, a genre that has much more camp character designs than Noctis.
>>334947934
You're right. Cidney is an object. Not a real thing. Therefore applying morals fit for real living human to an object is not only ridiculous, but borderline mentally insane.

>The team even went as far as to map out its bone and muscle structure, thoroughly examining its movement and shape. The inspirations for the bone structure came from giraffes, elephants, and rhinoceroses. “In order to support its long neck while searching for food, it uses its tenacious front leg muscles, long backbone, and low center of gravity to balance its neck like a suspension bridge while walking,” says artist Chihiro Hashi. It even has several large ears that it can flap to control its body temperature.

I personally don't mind camp designs. I do mind that they're just outright bland and generic designs. I can barely tell them apart. If they had the same hair colour, I probably couldn't.

>>334948884
Yeah I know. I may understand dishonesty but it's something that always bugged me. Not because I think it's wrong or anything, I just wish people would learn to deal with reality. And yes, I've got to learn how to deal with the reality of lies.
>>334948225
That was a problem with the translation.
In Japan the words erotic and sometimes sexy primarily describe the character of a person, so when they said she wasn't meant to be erotic they weren't even PRing
>>334948246
Not him but GENERALLY, the MC is the only character who looks really gay in JRPGs.
Also, as the other guy said, the real problems comes from the fact that the party looks really bland and generic, it's no wonder that there's so many people complaining about this aspect. For one, i'm still wondering about why the fuck SE decided to make such a terrible marketing decision, making a party without any females or without any variation is literally suicide in a RPG.
>>334948225
There's nothing wrong with Cidney at all. But the cutscene direction everytime she appears in Duscae is seriously overdone at showing her assets, not even ecchi anime do this, it looks ridiculous honestly.

Why that button holding shit that makes the game feel passive as shit?
wtf are they doing? I'm so pissed. Literrally everyone is screaming at them to not fuck up and what do they do? They do all sorts of weird shit to simple action game mechanics just for the sake of being special and accessible, which makes the game actually NOT accessible.

This is the problem when you make a game intended for EVERYONE. Eventually it stops being appealing to anyone. SE is insecure. They're so desperate now that they don't dare take risks with the mainstream audience.

But then again,Witcher 3 sold a lot with a barely playable gameplay so who knows.

I like the combat system, but the hold button system is not great. I know people will tell me that you can tap the button, but that won't change anything since the whole animations are based arond hlding it, you can easily tell because the hits are not really connected and can't naturally end quickly after one hit. It has the KH BBS syndrom
>>334951942
I think I preferred when this looked like a more grounded Kingdom Hearts desu. Say what you like about KH combat but at least you feel in control.
>>334952231

This desu. I don't understand it either. Casuals don't give a fuck about such details, so why not make a good action game catered to hardcore gamurs, and slap on some automatic system afterward for the casuals? Why the other way around? Casuals literally DO NOT CARE about those details. They don't care how it plays, as long as it makes them feel cool.
Bayonetta auto controls do that as well. Why not do that? Someone prove me wrong pls.
>>334938908
Gibs me pussey plox.
>>334952560
I don't know
Even KH did it. I just hate that you can tell that every hit is seperate like in KH BBS, since the combat system was intended you have different weapons in one combo
>>334952482
>Seriously why are people complaining about the combat?
My biggest problem is the button holding thing. Weapon switching and other stuff don't make it too noticeable but I still don't like it.
>>334952337
I like it too, but it needs a lot of small changes to make it feel like it's actually worth anyone's time. Simple things like that targetting system preventing any sort of directional control, or all sorts of flashy shit happening that feels like one long animation when you just hold the button for a few seconds.
I can't imagine someone playing that and going "oh hey, that makes sense".
Ergo, they are being retarded on purpose. I'm fucking calling it. square enix is being retarded on purpose and the full game will have normal controls. There is no other explanation.
>>334952560
Unfortunately, I see it as Tabata mark. Both Crisis Core and Type-0 had questionable combat systems. He's no Itsuno, that's for sure. Can't believe DD still isn't the template for combat in ARPG's yet.
>>334952791
>I just hate that you can tell that every hit is seperate like in KH BBS
But they're not. Hold the button and you get a long string of attacks.
Don't you mean that you have to wait for the entire animation to be over before you can do something else? That's what I noticed in BBS compared to KH2
>>334952482
XII was trying something new, this is just using Kingdom Hearts combat.
>>334953139
I feel that XII's combat was actually kinda nice and comfortable. It emphasized planning over reaction so if you were smart with gambits, you could just sit back and watch your party wreck a boss while you occasionally micro-manage. It was surprisingly rewarding setting up good gambit systems.
>>334938908
Can't wait to replace all the faggy character models of the main cast with Cindy.

Unfortunately, the people making these decisions are so far removed from reality that they may as well be a different specifies. They get all their design ideals from misguided conjecture and selective testing.
>>334953285
I agree, the gambit system was an idea ahead of it's time.
>>334953139
>this is just using Kingdom Hearts combat.
I wish it was, copy pasting KH combat would be an improvement over this holding the button bullshit.
>>334952968
>square enix is being retarded on purpose and the full game will have normal controls.
They did say the game would have an easier combat system and a normal one so maybe they've been showing off that one all this time.
>>334953329
>That feel when your four Cindeys have man voices
>>334953060
CC and type-0 were retarded. But 3rd birthday actually had nicely tweaked mechanics, even if they were a bit restrictive and the moveset was small.
DD was good, but the amount of skill slots is unacceptable.
If you're going action game, hybrid with RPG or no, it needs to have a large moveset. Anything else is unacceptable anno 2016, because you have action game fans playing as well.
>>334953329
Just admit you're gay already, noone will think less of you. Hell /v/ is full of closet gays like you.

*the easier one
Knowing SE this is probably the normal one though.
>>334939102
That never turns out well.
>>334945505
top lel
>>334953335
DD is a better template for FFXV since DD is faster paced with greater magic and party influence than DaS. I bet SE feels really stupid now spending so much time making a very accessible combat system while the masses are flocking to DaS3 now.
>>334953701
I honestly can't even figure out how you'd make this combat easier.
>>334953780
well, in this particular instance I'd say DD would be a better template with party members and whatnot, but I was talking in general
>>334950863
You're retarded.
Why does Cindy wear the thong?
>>334938908
Does the game have gear slots? If so how many and do they affect how your character looks?
I know it's not a big thing, but it matters to me.
>>334953512
>They did say the game would have an easier combat system and a normal one so maybe they've been showing off that one all this time.
I've looked into this. There was a patent about it, which mentioned a combat system with automatic controls and a "normal" mode which would use a "plethora of buttons" for special attacks.
The thing is that I can't imagine how this is the easy control scheme in terms of button combinations. I don't know why but I'm having trouble seeing it. Especially since a more manual control scheme would require a lot of changes to the targetting mechanics, and automatic attack distancing, that I feel are a huge overhaul for just another control scheme type.
The mechanics seem flawed at the core of the game, and I just don't see how they are going to fix that unless they reprogram the entire thing.

>not the edit
>>334954105
So literally just weapons and nothing else then?
That's seriously disappointing. Cosmetics wise i wouldn't even mind but finding hear is a part of the game I enjoy.
>>334954245
And accessories and attires
>>334954030
They're probably talkinga bout hold the button as the "easy" version and using directional inputs as the "normal" version
But you can already tell just from the demo that some of the bosses will be really unbalanced simply because it lacks controls over your character sometimes. You could play through KH2 on lvl with starting gear without takking damage if you knew what you were doing, i doubt we will see somthing like this in XV unless you want to teleport away everytime the enemy is doing an attack
The fact that the auto dodge system doesn't dodge every attack and the the dodge roll has pretty much no inv frames doesn't help either and pressing the dodge button at the right time is still not perfect since it just leaves your hitbox in the enemies attack leaving you open for another one
>>334954449
It's depressing that SE feels the need to make a combat system easier than a game released a decade ago intended for kids.
>>334952546
>He doesn't think that P5 will be GOTY

>The fact that the auto dodge system doesn't dodge every attack and the the dodge roll has pretty much no inv frames doesn't help either and pressing the dodge button at the right time is still not perfect since it just leaves your hitbox in the enemies attack leaving you open for another one
According to GI the efficiency of the dodge is something you can upgrade on level up, PD Noctis' is pretty much lvl 1 and it's hard to tell what will be improved on level up
>>334954657
Is still think that's pretty bad, upgrading skills that deal damage etc. is fine, but upgrading things like a dodge roll or a parry that should only rely on the players reaction time is stupid. You get guard and roll pretty much right away in KH and it never changes and it always works. Now you know that you'll have a worse version of defensive moves until you level them up
>>334952452
>when this looked like a more grounded Kingdom Hearts
What do you mean?
>>334954449
Episode duscae type auto weapon switching is probably the easy mode. And PD type manual switching is probably the normal mode.
In a perfect world though, square is using various versions of the game to slowly train people at using a combat system that will be quite complex in the final game.
I agree with you otherwise. I feel most people here are annoyed by the same things. square needs to give us a heads up tomorrow. They need to be fair and tell us what it's going to be like.

As an American, people here have this weird double standard. My reasoning is that they see people who like cute anime girls who are mostly 16-17 years of age and think those people are sick fucks. However when you sexualize minors in say Nick or Disney Channel shows its totally ok.
Nudity is a major no no here, hence why its censored on tv, because the parents television council, which is run by a far right Cuckservative who supports Ted Cruz, hold major sway. However, they seem to have no problem with excess gore and violence on TV. They have never once gone after The Walking Dead, but they went after Skins when it was on MTV big time, so much so they managed to get it cancelled.
The problem is, bible thumping Evangelicals are major players here, despite being on the most loathed religious groups in the US
>>334955042

>>334955095
Would that even work at this point though? Like auto weapon switching mid ai and shit and the abilites of the weapons could break the game in auto switch mode
>>334954892
>You get guard and roll pretty much right away in KH and it never changes and it always works.
You still have to have to upgrade things like counterattacks, recoveries and Drive form abilities, so this is just the same thing.
>>334955240
I still like how Noctis automaticly tracks the airborne enemy. Now it feels like you're either on theg round or in the air, but it should be a little more seemingly
>>334954892
I like the idea more as an RPG fan than a action game fan, the game's giving you a choice how you want to level up, i didn't have that much trouble with the dodge so i won't think twice about upgrading my offense
Plus there's the shield anyway
>>334954595
Automata is GOTY.
>>334955447
I hope the shield will be an endgame weapon or will have it's limits because it would be OP and would look stupid to just parry huge ass enemies like the behemoth no problem
>>334954892
>>334954657
I think that is pretty cool. But the dodge system in PD has some logic behind it:
>You can only hold to dodge if you're not attacking, even if you keep holding it until after the attack, you need to repress the button after the attack has ended for it to work.
>To dodge during an attack you need to time pressing the dodge button perfectly and even if you did, you need to keep holding the button because sometimes one attack hits twice while it normally does not.
>Of course because of the input delay you need to time your shit earlier as well.
To me nothing about that sounds like it has anything to do with upgradable i-frames, or dodging speed. It sounds like weirdly specific mechanics. I have my doubts.
>>334955509
Hopefully they'll take their time with it. I don't want another 6 hours game without any sidequests like most Platinum games
>>334955240
>You will never get to play Versus XIII
>>334955538
Presumably stronger enemies will have attacks that are either very hard to shield parry or are straight up immune to them. We already know cactuars can dodge warp strikes so it's not outwith the realm of reason.
>>334955634
don't worry, since it's nier/drakengard it will be padded to hell and back
>>334955712
You will. This september.
>>334955550
They really need to put their time into optimizing it though. I know people will tell me that there's no input lag for some reason, but there definitely is and the fact that it doesn't run at a locked 30 and has framepacing issues make it even worse. It's the same with Dark Souls 3 which almost runs at a locked 30, but has input lag and sometimes feels like it's running at 20 fps because of the framepacing
>>334955634
Taro Yoko already said that the game will retain the RPG elements from the first Nier. Platinum games is only handling the gameplay, the story and game structure are all Taro's department.
>>334955634
This new character looks so cool compared to other protagonists from Taro games.
>>334955864
No I won't.
>>334955098
Also this brings me back to the Nipplegate fiasco back in 2004 at Super Bowl XXXVIII. If this happened in say the UK or other places in Europe, they wouldn't really give a shit and they would find it hilarious. However in the US it was such a big deal it was brought to the attention of the US Government. In fact, that one incident got MTV permanently banned from producing half time shows.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyIn6eay9Mw
Yes, a fucking Congresswoman fucking cried over Nipplegate
>>334955870
>the fact that it doesn't run at a locked 30 and has framepacing issues make it even worse
PD isn't the most recent build of the game and the framepacing issue only affects the PS4 version of the game so for all we know it could already be fixed.
>>334955254
Why would an auto switching mode break the air combat? It would just do dpad presses automatically based on what weapon you had set on which attack state (attack states meaning crush, ravage, etc.)
>>334955240
>>334955446
Actually that looks kind of nice, but I do think there needs to be a difference in air and ground attacks, which does not seem to be the case from that video.
Can someone explain this Stella meme to me?Although not regularly, I've been coming to FFXV threads ever since 2014 and I still don't get it
>>334956128
Yes, she compared the Enron scandal to this.
>>334955870
I agree. Look down and the fps increases, along with the responsiveness of the controls. It's tied to framerate.
>>334956218
Still needs fixing

FFXV used to be known as FF Versus XIII. Stella was a major character in Versus XIII's plot, which was originally planned to have sequels. When the game went from being Versus XIII to XV, they changed some of the plot around to fit it into a single game and Stella was one of the things they couldn't fit into XV's plot.
>>334956397
Caim is the most based MC, not the coolest.
>>334956254
She was Stella back in V13 and is now Luna and they changed her appearance and character a bit.
We don't really know anything about Stella, but she was more like a rival + childhood friend character juding from the early trailers and they had to fight because war and shit. The core story probably hasn't changed that much, but i doubt we will fight against Rapier Luna and all that
>>334956613
And why people complain so much about it?The game didn't even got released, how do you get attached to a character from a game that didn't even came out?
>>334955870
not to damage control but i think the platinum demo was just not optimisized at all since it was made by like 3 people seperate from the main team and build, i think especially with the game being 6 months away and in beta (not pre beta) stage since like january or some shit that they will be able to get most of the kinks out.
it would be a shame if a game with so much work put into it gets devalued just cause the framerate takes you out of it. then again i suffered through drakengard 3 and still "loved" it (Stockholm syndrome to taro) so id probably still like XV if the story was decent enough
>>334956254
A character back from when this game was Versus XIII for some reason had to be dropped while repurposing the game into FFXV.
It'll definitely sell millions of copies. That's a guarantee. I don't know if it will sell 10 million worldwide, but it will absolutely sell 5m, maybe more.
Plus, the Platnium Demo was fun and I'm interested in the story. So it could be my GOTY.
>>334956254
Stella was the original girl from Final Fantasy Versus XIII. In that game, what we knew was that she would be tied to Noctis, but also an antagonistic character, fighting on the side of Noctis' enemies. When the game became Final Fantasy XV, they changed the character from Stella to Lunafreya, Noctis' betroved. A lot of people feel that Luna is a step down from the badass villain with a personal tie to Noctis, but others feel Luna, being an Oracle of the gods and a key to saving the world from the Endless Night, is a better character. In reality, we don't know what Stella's character was going to be, and since the game isn't out, we don't know much else about Luna, either, so it's too early to find out.
>>334956691
Instead we'll fight against Kaioken Luna when the moon turns red
>>334956627
>He's not both
>>334956627
i dont know, wiping out an entire army single handidly is pretty fucking cool, then going on to kill fucking death and not even be defeated once in the sequel despite being the main antagonist is also pretty fucking cool.
>>334956527
As an American I apologize deeply for this. Our double standards here are insane. Only good thing is that owning actual hentai doujins are fine, though its sort of a gray zone. Meaning the police might look into it in certain states, but they almost never charge you at all. They honestly don't think its a big deal unless its real life CP.
>>334956748
>at all since it was made by like 3 people
At first it was 7 people

>>334956748
I thought it was 7 people? Then 5, now 3?
I know, but it's the only thing we can really judge for now
I just hope they'll fix it, i usually don't need the perfect framerate, but in an ARPG a locked 30 along with no framepacing issue would be nice to have. Dark Souls 3 sometimes goes into slowmo for like 2 seconds because of the framepacing even though it's still running at 30fps

i was pulling the number out of my ass but i know it was in the single digits anon dont get you panties in a twist over it, the point was its made by barely anyone in a small amount of time and it shows, i think PD was a stupid decision and they should of just released a debug mode where you can fight hordes of goblins and other duscae monsters with the improved combat from duscae
>>334955712
september you will :)
>>334956856
In America, you can do anything you want as long as you don't hurt others, but you'll be judged (unless you're on Pubic Television channels, in which case you're the government's bitch.)
In Japan, you can also do anything you want that doesn't hurt others, but you'll be judged (Unless you're on Public Television channels, in which case you're the Government's bitch.)
There should be a club of countries where people can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt others. It can be the US, Japan, Switzerland and New Zealand. Maybe France. No one else.

>>334956732
to play devil's advocate, versus 13 as a whole was sort of in a limbo that was dangled in front of us for a good part of 7 years and people held onto whatever they could get, it led to headcannon based off the 15 or so minutes of footage we ever saw of it between cgi cutscenes and one gameplay teaser, the combination of so little to go off of with so much time in between them really led to people making assumptions and hyping the game up as some big romeo and juliet kind of story.
it is a little annoying now that the game is coming out that people almost religiously hold onto that head cannon as fact
>>334949980
>game will be delay right?
>no its coming out soon
>when is it coming out then?
>cant tell you just soon but it will come out this year

>nope the game is delay
Same shit again
>>334956775
Realistically speaking, it'll probably sell around 7 million. If we were to be optimistic, it can sell around 8 or 10 million but that depends on how good the reviews of the game are, and how big the word of the mouth effect will be. Meaning that it depends on whether the game will be received by fans and critics or not.

Yeah anon, they will delay their biggest game to date AGAIN because they just love to lose money.
They're probably preparing something good to show along with the release date.
>>334956732
Versus XIII as a whole was held in very high regard because it was representing a return to form, and I think there's a view that the changes made as it became XV are a betrayal to the fans who'd been waiting for it.
The problem is, Versus was like 80% shit that Nomura said in interviews (a lot of which is actually still in XV in some fashion) and 20% actual footage, which is why it became this perfect specimen of an FF title. It was largely just hype.
>>334957570
>>334957374
Stop being so melodramatic, the game started development in 2012 and was only delayed 2 two times since then. It's pretty similar to Witcher 3 if you stop to think about it, only difference being that Atlus doesn't like to spoil content as much as CDPR.
>>334957495
Good on France, they can join the Freedom Five.
I would say Iceland could join and become the Six States, but some shit is going down over there right now, so probably not.
