When the team was starting Final Fantasy XV, the brand image wasn’t very clear.
Tabata believes the franchise can’t move forward without setting pride aside – he knows fans still have hope in where the series could go.
Tabata and his team at Business Division 2 identified three core qualities they believe define the FFbrand: challenging the status quo, providing an exceptional experience and using cutting-edge technology. He thinks FFVII was the last game in the series to use all three points. Final Fantasy XV is a make-or-break moment – a chance to bring back lapsed fans and new ones into the fold.
When moving to Final Fantasy XV, the game disconnected from Fabula Nova Crystallis. Additionally, Stella fromVersus XIII was shifted significantly and while the team tried to keep as much as they could from the original concepts they took this opportunity to shape XV into a full range of imagination.
Final Fantasy XV‘s story focuses on friendship, destiny and legacy.
As soon as you start the game there is a battle in a location yet to be revealed. This is similar to FFIIwhere you start the game right with a boss battle. It also acts as a tutorial before going into chapter 1.

Combat has improved since the demo – controls are more responsive, and weapons can be swapped on the fly using the d-pad. GI saw tabs for swords, daggers, lances, firearms, shields, royal arms and elemental spells. There was also a category called machines though their purpose is unknown.
Magic spells are collected like a resource and can be recharged at various places on the map (thinkFFVIII‘s Draw system).
The Regalia (the car) has a trunk that acts as party storage. You may need to pay money to gas up from time to time but the cost isn’t crazy. The car radio plays remixes of classic FF themes such as “Final Fantasy.”
All four of the main characters have special talents – Noctis can fish, Ignis can cook and Gladio has survival instincts – and all of these can be “leveled up” by continued play.
When you call a summon they won’t always do the same thing. They are entities that exist in the world itself. So depending on the situation they will do different things. For example, Titan sometimes will run up and hit an enemy, sometimes he will throw boulders at the enemy and it’s possible he will even give up and leave the battle. They will also act differently in a dungeon than they will in the overworld.

It isnt clear even now.
Just a blur.
>>333350195
>Tabata believes the franchise can’t move forward without setting pride aside
I hate this myth.
FF13 "set pride aside" by eschewing almost every Final Fantasy convention in the books. That game critically failed because people didn't even recognize FF anymore.
Did Tabata even play XII? That game was ballsy as fuck.
>>333350324
I take it Prompto's special talent is turning tricks.
>>333351178
On your way to a destination, Prompto may ask to stop and take a photo. His pictures can be seen during camp and can be shared on social media. Should you continue to take pictures with Prompto his photography skills will improve.
>>333350724
You cared enough to make a post. I win.
>>333350512
>>333351239
That's not nearly as interesting.
>>333351023
FF12 was ballsy but released on an inferior console.
You can only be risky on a brand-new console. Customers can endure the pain of a new system when they see eye-candy everywhere.
>>333350778
Seriously. It didn't even have the prelude or victory fanfare. You want the familiar and the fresh. I like that they could hold onto common elements while still having entirely different stories and settings.
>>333350778
Fucking this.

I still don't get this trailer
Why is Regis already that old when Noctis is still a kid?
Calling it now this is the OOT of this Generation and will set a standard for every 60$ game, no game will come close in terms of what this game will achieve.

Nah I mean fun to play. Something with some depth, or at least something quick and responsive. Like DMC or Kingdom Hearts or something.
As it stands the demo felt pretty sluggish to me, and not in that Souls kinda way where you still feel like what you're doing matters- I just felt disconnected the whole time.
>>333350512
Dude, do you have autism or something? Why do you keep posting that?
>>333354059
Well, if you had a demo of KH2 with a fight against the Darkside heartless and had nothing, but the fire spell and no abilites the combat wouldn't feel that great either
The demo did a really bad job at actually showing you the full extend of the combat, but i doubt the whole game will be like that
>>333350778
be careful, you'll get that one FFXIII-apologist who shit up an earlier thread and wouldn't stop spamming his stick-figure waifu and her shitty game.
>>333354536

>>333353965
Stop hating on the system just because the rest of the internet does it
It had it's flaws in FF8 because you had to use them, but also combine then with stats
Which is not the case in this game
And you'll most likely have more spells than you can ever use in FFXV
And even in FF8 it wasn't shit or anything it could just break the game, but every FF has stuff like that
>>333351023
XII should have been the gold stranded

>>333353965
Tabata didn't say that, gematsu did, in fact Tabata flat out said magic in XV is nothing like Draw system from FF8 in an interview from famitsu before.
>While he wouldn't offer more details on the magic system itself – although it is apparently already quite developed – when asked, Tabata did specify that it is nothing like the draw system from Final Fantasy VIII.

>>333356118
You fags tricked me with this on Type-0, nice try.
>>333356125
Not like you don't use auto-attack 99% in the turn-based games. Setting up bulletproof gambits was more rewarding and intuitive.
>>333356181
>>333355697
This is the opinion of someone who really enjoyed FFVIII. Spells were easily the weakest part of the game. Its not because you could break the game. In fact, the card game was the best way to break the game, and I loved the card game. Spells were the weakest part of the game because you start off needing all of them for stats, then when you finally have enough variety to start using them, limit breaks start being usable on pretty much every turn. In order to play the game efficiently, you will probably never use any spell that isn't Aurora.

Subjective.
The hate on XIII is unwarranted and has become a meme.
In truth it's a better X and has above an 8 on metacritic.

>>333356557

is this really in the game? i smiled. i liked the use of twitter or such in SFV so i think i'd be okay with it here since Prompto totally seems the type to do that
If you want to have a good time with any game do not come here
Is anyone else bothered by the same shitty combat system from Type 0 where you get 30 abilities and can only equip 2 at a time?
So I have sword, greatsword, shield, and fire. And that's it. Those are all my options for the given battle I'm in.
I mean, I expect you can change them by pausing during the fight, but holy shit is that obnoxious to do just to cast thunder instead of fire.
>>333356686
>metacritic
What about having something like FF II system?
At this point Prompto is too hilariously pleb compared to the others and I can't help but be suspicious of this
>>333356748
I dunno. I just saw someone posting her and figured why not.
Platinum Demo was a mistake.
>>333356792
They shoulda had a sub menu like KH with the magic, and left the weapon slots to the weapons.
>>333356686
Paradigm Shifts weren't bad. Very basic but not bad. The fun thing about gambits is the pleasure of programming your party to be as efficient as possible in all scenarios though. So you had to constantly modify for new mobs and bosses.
>>333356792
They're pretty open for feedback, so if enough people ask for it they'll probably ad another dpad selection that appears or can be switched be pressing a shoulder button
Maybe they already did, the combat system from the Platinum Demo was already a little outdated compared to the one from the Nilfheim gameplay a few weeks ago
>>333356612
Still cloud.
>>333356404
>Not like you don't use auto-attack 99%
Most games reward you by making fights easier when you do more than just auto-attack. Probably all games are flat out impossible with just attacking all day.
>Setting up bulletproof gambits was more rewarding and intuitive
Gambits were OP and mindless. It takes no effort to set them up. You can literally get to the point where your input is never needed later in the game, even with an average level. To make matters worse, optional bosses throw so much bullshit at you that gambits start becoming less of an option an more of a necessity. It isn't like an action game where your skill at dodging can keep you from getting hit.
Also, something can not be both rewarding and intuitive. Rewarding means that you put effort in and get a reward out of it. Intuitive implies that you do not need to put effort in, but rather it comes naturally. Gambits are in fact intuitive, but not rewarding, since it doesn't require effort.
>>333356904
I never liked the magic system in KH
To difficult to use any magic that wasn't set to one of your quick commands
>>333356717
Why the fuck not? Normal attack works 99% of the time.
>>333351023
XII was fucked so hard by executive meddling and a change in directors. That the international version is so fucking good even with the host of issues the game had is telling to how wonderful the core mechanics and ideas in place were. With a better party, I bet it would have been a pretty beloved title. Unfortunately the game has been overshadowed by the disaster that was the FFXIII saga.
>>333356832
It's ignis whos the traitor. Look at the 4 on the cloud left to right Promto Noctis Gladio and Ignis.
Look at how ignis seems upset or saddened by something but is being held by Gladio. He betrays the team but they accept him back later.
>>333356964
Cause clouds create lightning right?
>>333356832
Well, he really is a pleb. It seems both Noctis and Regis like to have one plebe in the party for the variety (Regis had Cid).
>>333357007
You didn't need most of them anyway
And the problem is solved by the fact that there're only 3 spells in FFXV
>>333355610
XIII's combat was literally a lobotomized version of XII.
>>333357007
I meant make a quick command menu for the magic in XV.
Better combat than the Platinum Demo right here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E69ZeEH5HTA
>>333356668
I can't think of a single game where that is true. Can you tell me which ones that applies to? They seemed useful to me in VII, IX, and X. You already said they were useful in older ones. So which ones do you believe them to be useless in?
>>333357117
There aren't. There's the whole ring magic too, plus spell synthesis.
>>333350778
I think what he means is they can't just sell a game by going "Hey look! The people who make that one thing you like are making another thing! Aren't you excited? Please look forward to it.", especially people don't like that thing much anymore. If anything XV is "setting pride aside" even more than XIII did by being an ARPG in a modern fantasy setting, but it still has things like enemies, summon designs and songs that are reminiscent of previous games.
>>333357183
how can people enjoy this shit
10 years of hype and counting, lads. This game will either be the end or the guarantee that SE will stay afloat for another decade, no matter what they do. Would be sad to see this company just die like this to be honest.
>>333357220
Well, we'll see how deep that actually goes
For now we only know of blizzard, fire and thunder that Noctis himself can actually cast
And Tabata said that this game won't have too many spells, but they'd be more usefull since you can use them in different conditions like rainy weather
>>333357113
That looks so fucking cool.

>>333357196
Not him, but magic becomes completely useless in FFX during late-game. The strongest attacks are multi-hit, and since magical spells don't have multi-hit feature, they're weak as fuck compared to the physical attacks.
>>333357537
Right? So if it is obtainable, it will probably be something we get much later on.

>>333355616
Why is she so perfect?
Is there any confirmation that the dogshit combat in that platinum demo was just an april fools prank and obviously nothing like the real combat we'll be playing the final game?
Okay hold the phone, that interview said that:
>combat is more responsive than the demo
Are they talking about Episode Duscae or Platinum Demo??
Is Uematsu still working at Square?
I love Shimomuras OSTs more than anything, but i hope Uematsu will make another FF OST in the future
>>333358120
If you won't, i will
>>333358085
If you weren't immortal in the demo, then hold x to win wouldn't have worked. I assume you aren't immortal in the final game, but we will have to see.
>>333358061
I guess not, just have the VA speak softly into the mic. It'll be like nip NPR with guest star Lightning
>>333358120
You mean the webm where some retard strawmanned the very real complaint that the combat sucks and is just "hold O to win" and literally just held the two buttons together, instead of doing what every person who says that obviously fucking means which is hold o, and then sometimes hold square?
Yeah go ahead and post it so you further show how total brainless you are, faggot.

I just want to know if Noctis can still "see the light of dying souls".
I tried searching online about it and the only things that were scrapped (as far as we know) are Stella and the Insomnia invasion. But the game looks very different from Versus XIII so that makes me wonder.
I hope they address this in the next QA, assuming they're doing another one

You just fight through menus, how hard and exciting could that be for an adult? Turn based is severely outdated and pointless nowadays, especially when devs have the tech to do much better.

How is that *any* different from the turn-based battle system of the past?
Hell, the recent rereleases of the old games even include an auto battle button since most of the time you just mash "fight" anyway.

>>333358473
epic fake video because all I did was hold down O with the big sword and occasionally dodge and I got hit like one time and had no trouble beating the boss in probably a minute.
>>333358371
HP is completely depleted, that tech demo is mocked up so you get restored to full HP when your HP is completely 0, in the actual game you die
>>333358431
Meanwhile I have a crippled friend who loves jrpgs because he can play them with one hand

Are you a real person?
>>333358594
Well, then post your video or wait a few months a see how far it will get you against more thn one enemy at a time

>le epic I can make up false statements because I'm on an anonymous image board
Feel free to back it up with a video anon. Oh wait... That would require you to be able to do it.
>inb4 I can post on /v/ for 10 hours strait, but I don't have 15 minutes to make a video and upload it
>>333358371
>a demo doesn't let you lose
O wow never seen that before
>>333358694
>J-j-just buy the full game to see that you're w-wrong
nice try squeenix shill

this is a new level of butthurt
>>333357847
>he thinks Kingdom Hearts combat is just repeatedly mashing the same button to win
>>333358331
Why not use warps, dodge rolls, magic, abilities, armiger, aerial, etc while you're at it ;^)
>>333358770
Oh, so you were lying , okay
I'm looking forward to update this image. Don't disappoint me Tabata.

>Final Fantasy XV is a make-or-break moment – a chance to bring back lapsed fans and new ones into the fold.
So this is it /v/, if this game doesn't bring back fans of FF before 13, its the end of them trying. Will you be giving this game a chance for yourselves? Or just judge it on what other people say, and give up?
The last good FF for me was 9. If it can't at least live up to that games story, I'm quitting.
>>333357572
Man, it would be so fucking awesome if the radio tracked when you got into a battle, so whenever you came across enemies on the road, it would change to a song like this.
>iron giant in FFXV is easy to beat while iron giant in games like FFVIII can be dangerous
>good thing turn based games are easy as fuck while action games are the hardest thing ever right guyz?
>>333358831
Poor Tidus, why is he so bullied?
>>333358836
>i know you are but what i am
?
>>333358784
>comparing this complete and utter trash to the god-tier KH battle system
>>333358860
Ive liked every FF i've played including 12 and X-2. I'm sure i'll enjoy this.
>>333358860
The last good FF for me was Lightning Returns so I'm all hype.
>>333357847
>They think the core FF audience are the children who liked repeatedly mashing the same button
sounds pretty accurate to me desu most fights in final fantasy are solved by pressing attack until you need to heal
>>333358836

>>333358896
>iron giant in FFXV is easy to beat
shit I how did you play the final game?
>>333358903
Because.
>>333358860
I still want to experience the train wreck that is FFVIIRe. Its not going to cost me money so what do I have to lose?
>>333358929
>That animation
Holy shit that's probably the most hilarious intentional animation I've seen in a game in ages.
>>333358594
So why not use warps, magic, aerial combos, blocks, parries, abilities, armiger etc while you're at it? :^)
But I guess taking less than 5 minutes to record 1 minute of footage and convert it to webm triggers your autism
>>333359000
>there's no way this demo is representative of the final game at all
>yep, they definitely make the main character's control scheme and the attacks of a prominent enemy from scratch- there is no way those are from the full game or anything
stay delusional
>>333358831
cloud had magic cancer so him being depressed is perfectly natural

From Lead Game Designer Takizawa Masashi:
The equivalent to difficulty level settings in FFXV is a system where you can switch between different battle modes. By having this ability to switch modes, we want to make it so that both players who like action oriented, technical gameplay and also those who want to fight at a slower, more relaxed pace can all enjoy the combat in their own style. This switching system is a key part of the gameplay that we decided to introduce based on the feedback we received from the Episode Duscae demo.
We will go into more detail about the system closer to the game’s launch so stay tuned for more information.
>>333359000
Heroes shield to victory. No need to run away and warp strike back in like a pansy.
>>333359059

>he keeps posting it
>>333359000
>shit I how did you play the final game?
shit I how did you learn engrish?
>>333358860
wait for the user reviews and then decide if I want to buy it

lost my shit right there senpai
>>333358903
he's a jock and got laid in the game
why would /v/ like him?
>>333358350
I think they scrapped the whole Grim Reaper worship thing from back in the day and went more lighthearted with the overall motif of the game.
But who knows if it's still included in some form.
>>333359090
>This switching system is a key part of the gameplay that we decided to introduce based on the feedback we received from the Episode Duscae demo.
>based on the feedback
This is the real problem right here.
They keep listening to the vocal minority. Instead of having the balls to just do what they want they keep bowing to outside pressure. You can't please everyone. If you try you just muddle things.
>>333358929
Prompto literally holds his burning ass and jumps out of the way realistically.
They really put work into making the buddies feel alive. Now I can see why they needed to cancel underwater combat, hopefully they can work that in another game.
>>333359305
>They keep listening to the vocal minority.
I mean, they did polls and stuff with this sort of thing. It's not just that people tweeted them or something.

People love shitting on Prompto so much but without him we wouldn't get gems like this
Also, did anyone else notice him laying on the side of the road?
demo is fun
>>333359151
>he keeps being BTFO
>>333358894
Xion??
>>333359459
Who?
>>333359282
Grim reapers are still on the carpets of Lucis in the Plat Demo.. As well as the skull on top of the nagas head in the new GI footage.
demo sucked big fucking asses
i heard they'll be two different fighting systems, but they didn't say if the demo was the fast-paced or the slow-paced one
if that's the "fast" one, then god help us
>Tabata
WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT THIS TALENTLESS CUNT THINKS?
FF15 is a piece of shit. They should have scrapped the shit 8 years ago.
>>333358016
Didn't they say that the powers of the king that Noct starts using in game accelerates aging?
>>333359305
It's weird that the team that made KH2FM combat years ago, took years and multiple demos + feedback to create a combat system that still has a few flaws
>>333359252
IT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING
>>333359421
I haven't played the demo yet. How difficult is it to do stuff like this?
>>333359459
Impossible. If it was Xion there would be nothing there.
Also who?
