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.
>>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.
>>333350195
so is this game only 10% story, 90% sidequests with party bro idle animations and activities?
>>333354341
It's best to completely ignore anyone who mentions DMC. Scratch them up as a shitposter.

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

But then i dont get why people hate on it
Because it can make the game real easy if you just farm the right spells? Of course and many FF have shit that breaks the game
>>333355616

>>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.
>>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.

>>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.

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.

See this is how you do a battle system people. Not doing a goddamn plebeian version of DMC. There is no complexity seen in the platinum demo compared to this.

>>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.
>>333350195

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

>>333358009
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.

>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

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

>>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

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.

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.

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.

shit is fucking hilarious. totally makes the thread to see mentally damaged fanboys try and fail to defend something so vigorously.
>>333359548
Like, you can do this while relaxed on your couch instead of leaning forward
>>333359548

It still takes some time to get used to the weapon switching though

That's reassuring. I really liked the concept of Noctis being able to see the light of dying souls.
>>333359617
This is gold
>>333359480
That's pretty interesting.
Hopefully there's a tie in with the characters.

>>333359941
>correct opinions
>>333359548
Easy to the point where it feels more impressive if you just look at it instead of playing it yourself.
The guy in the webm jumps around by flicking the stick in different directions while he is holding down the attack button with the shuriken weapon.
I saw a webm in one of these threads where an anon made a pointlessly weird air combo then he landed and did some swings and then he did an admittedly sick looking parry with the shield that staggered the giant.
Anyone have that one?
>>333360000
implying what exactly?
such a waste of quads.
>>333359941
Please stay then.
>>333360075
You are everywhere
>>333359548
Pretty hard since everytime you press a button the character only does it 5 seconds later because the previous animation isn't finished.
>>333360142
Not really.
>>333359617
jesus christ dude take a break
>>333351023
The gambit system was so based.
>>333359941
The only thing correct about them is that they're your opinions.
The game isn't without its flaws and there are valid criticisms about it, and you are free to dislike it because it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
But going on a campaign to get everyone to hate on it is a bit extra and unrealistic.
>>333359821
>Bros are gay if they look good
From what we know the characters in this game are great and will feel like bros
>>333360167
I fucking wish they would just listen to ONE GUY who had worked on a good action game who knows basic but important shit like this.
It must be frustrating to be in that team and see the combat system devolve into all flash and no substance, when it really only takes a couple of tweaks to turn it into something really good
That is actually a big problem I have with both demos. A year went by between them, and nothing was done to make Noctis feel more responsive to player input.
>>333360260
how do you use the shield to block? I could only attack
>>333360425

>>333359480
Don't forget this, too. They're not exactly hiding it.
>>333360446
Lol fuck, of course..
>>333360396
Who Nomura?
>>333360260
Okay those shuriken dodges are even more random than I remember, but whatever. That parry at the end makes me hopeful that the combat can turn out to be fun to play. They just gotta tweak it a little
>>333360367
I'm not going on a campaign. I just say my opinions and then a spurge of fucking retards try and act like it's a perfect game without flaws and the combat system doesn't need any improvement.
If all these stupid shits would stop needlessly defending something they haven't even bought, then I wouldn't have to prove them wrong over and over, and the thread wouldn't devolve into shitposting.
Retards just feel the need to spam webms and type BTFO and ruin the thread for anyone who doesn't enjoy idiots getting buttflustered. Luckily I do, but it's sad for everyone else.
>>333360458
I know I saw those at the event :]
>>333360508
Personally i find the airstepsword backflip dodge more sick, but mixing shit up is part of the fun, hence why this is still my favourite video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV-ANQvMkXg
>>333360458
$40 is such a scam, holy fuck.
Pretty cool that the Reaper imagery is still in though.
>>333360508
I'm the guy that made that webm, i admit the dodges are random, but i only played the demo for about an hour at that point and people asked how to do the dodges so i showed them
Now i'm barely doing aircombos at all, they'll definitely have their uses against airborne enemies and shit, but against the giant or most ground enemies groun combos and the shield work way better without draining your MP
>>333360536
>If all these stupid shits would stop needlessly defending something they haven't even bought, then I wouldn't have to prove them wrong over and over, and the thread wouldn't devolve into shitposting.

Almost the whole KH2 team is working it
I'm not saying the combat system is bad, but i would never want it to be like KH
It's just weird that they seem to have a lot of problems with it and it took them multiple changes and feedback to get to this point
We can't fulle judge the combat yet since the demo is pretty barebones, but just like KH the combat works in it's own game
>>333360752
Correct.
Most of what I argue is frustration of that input lag which even today in the threads people have tried to deny for literally no reason, the fuckups.
Then when I say the combat is boring in my opinion, they try and say "no" like that's even any of their business. It's my fucking opinion. fuck off. You don't get to say "no".
>>333360536
The people that enjoy it will never stop defending something they enjoy.
That's an impossible mission, especially on this site.
>>333360536
>If all these stupid shits would stop needlessly defending something they haven't even bought
Notice how if you change defending to attacking, the sentence still fits perfectly? Kinda funny when you start with;
>I'm not going on a campaign. I just say my opinions
Quit trying to pretend to be a martyr anon.
>fags will continue to shit on a game that won't come out for another 5 months and 23 days
>fags will continue to compare the combat of an Action RPG to one of the greatest Hack and Slash games of all time
I say let them have their fun. Because the SECOND this game releases, the shit-posting will be drowned out with endless XV threads for the rest of the year.
>>333360704
You could, but they try to drain people's wallets at events by marking everything up and feeding on their hype for a sale.
>>333360837
Anon, you pretend as if you are defending an opinion that you are keeping to yourself. Once you feel the need to share your opinion with another person, it is now that person's business. You made it their business. If you don't welcome their input, don't ask for it.
>>333360936
Dark Souls 3 is out soon, then those threads will start
It's just a slow week without much news to hate on for /v/
>>333350512
First thing I saw was:
>...characters are too feminine
Fuck that guy. Feminine boys are the best.
>>333360837
I'm also annoyed by the people who say input lag isn't an issue but I also really like the game and what we've seen from the combat so I can do nothing but hope that it gets fixed
>>333360936
>for the rest of the month.
fixed.
Nobody will give a shit about the game much longer than that. That goes for every "big" release this stupid board hypes up
>>333360863
The sentence kinda does not fit perfectly. this is /v/. I'm allowed to say I think it's shit, you're allowed to say you think it's without flaw and totally fucking perfect. But most importantly any reasonable person should be skeptical and hard and clear flaws before a game is released. But that's neither here nor there.
>>333361012
I'm just saying people could be less retarded about it. How about "I thought the X mechanic was well implemented and there was plenty of hidden depth, they just failed to tell the player about most of it in the demo", instead of "HERE IZ WEBM I AM RIGHT LEL", because at that point I have no option but to shitpost right back.
>>333361069
This, basically, although I am admittedly more negative in the belief that the outcome will be any good.
>>333361156
Yo, but for real, fuck FFXV, post more of the "grown up girl coming back for promised romance" /u/. Love this.
>>333360656
That webm made me go and practice with the shield. It didn't feel great to pull off which I had hoped, but it looked awesome.
They seriously need to fix the input lag and slow animations for the final game. I have to press buttons a seconds before I need the move to come out and it really doesn't feel good when the combat is paced like a devil may cry esque game and demands quick reactions
>>333360837
Your opinion on the combat is yours to keep. No one could take that from you, it's what you feel.
Hopefully the final product fixes certain issues people had in the demo.
Square is really playing with fire. They are trying to give FF the CoD treatment. Trying to appeal to the masses to get those crazy sales. They want FFXV to sell something like 9 million copies and I just can't see that happening. No matter how flashy they make it or how they try to appeal to a western audience it's still a jrpg at heart. FF7 has a better chance of being a massive hit than this.
>>333361064
They're obviously into Bara and bears.
>>333361156
>basically, although I am admittedly more negative in the belief that the outcome will be any good.
They only have six months after all that's not enough time to fix anything.
Really I'm surprised how they can put two up demos with vastly different opinions on each.
>>333359459
>Xion is gone from KH and now her fate is to be the cumdump for the XV guys
>>333361156
I could play FFXV perfectly fine if they used the PD build.
Maybe that is why I am so relaxed about the prospect of them not improving the input delay
>>333361295
>FF7 has a better chance of being a massive hit than this.
I'm not sure that's true, it's much cooler to be a "nerd" now than it was then. More of my friends watch anime now than when I was in school, and a few have shown some interest in FFXV despite never mentioning the series before.
>>333360815
Oh I don't want the combat to be like in KH, but I expect better feeling combat from those people considering how great it felt to play KH.
KH had a lot of spam X to win encounters, but Sora reacted instantly when you pressed the button and that felt good and made it fun. Those people that could figure that basic gameplay feel (or whatever the word is for it) are more than capable of making the combat in FFXV feel fun and snappy
>>333361341
That's enough time to fix the objective issues this game has: framerate and input lag.
Everything goes back to opinions and doesn't have to be fixed
>>333361224
You're alright, /v/.
Sorry, but I recently formatted my HD and lost my pictures. All I can give you is a Metroid comic with yuri-esque themes, Avatar yuri, or SU yuri. If you want any of those, I'm there.
>Magic is now like Elixir's, you will never use them because you want to save them for when you need towhich is never
Why do people compare FFXV combat to KH and even DMC when they play nothing alike?
Stop it guise
>>333359282
It's not lighthearted at all. It's just that now you're seeing all the stuff that was talked about but barely shown in Versus (recall how the second trailer had the main group having fun in Altissia).
>>333361457
Once the FF7 remake was announced a few of my friends that haven't touched console gaming in years are already going to buy a ps4 just for that game. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug.

>The sentence kinda does not fit perfectly.
You are attacking an unreleased game, then attacking people for defending an unreleased game. Both are fucking needless. At this point you are provoking an attack while not being any better than those attacking you, and trying to pretend you are a martyr. If you are fine with presenting your opinion, you should be fine with people disagreeing with your opinion.
>I'm just saying people could be less retarded about it
Looking through all the posts in the reply chain, none of yours seem to present as well thought out of an opinion as what you describe in your next sentence. Lead by example anon.
>because at that point I have no option but to shitpost right back
I've seen enough evidence on this site that suggests that shitposting ONLY thrives when they get replies. In a thread you may only get 4 shitpost attempts out of 100 replies when no one replies, yet in the same kind of thread you could have a majority of shitposts due to people actually replying. If you aren't part of the solution, you are the problem.
>>333361675
Yeah
She's finally happy
>>333361942
>>333361941
I'm attacking a game I have played, and basing expectations of the full game on that. Any defense is by it's very nature less reasonable because it's based on nothing but faith that the problems will be fixed.
Again, I shat out useless replies because I wasn't given anything to work with. I'm not going to try and debate a shitposter. But I suppose I shouldn't reply at all.
>>333358473

what happened to this thread
>>333362042
>I'm attacking a game I have played
No, you are attacking a game that you haven't played, but instead you played a demo. You are attacking the game on faith, just as someone would be defending it on faith. An opinion isn't superior just because you have a bias towards your own opinion anon.
>>333363253
not much
>>333363347
My opinion is based on fact. The facts from a demo. Demos are more often that not very representative of the final product for the most part. I have every right to be worried and express that.
If you enjoyed the demo and aren't worried, that also makes equal sense. I disagree, but it makes sense.
But if you didn't enjoy the demo, and you still on blind faith think they're going to fix the core combat system and input lag problems in just a couple short months? Then your opinion is just worth less than everyone else's. Most games go into certification like three months before release. That'd only leave them like two and a half months to fix their bullshit.
>>333362374
at least three of the characters look gay, two twinks and one of them is hard gay
>>333363563
They don't look gay in any way
>>333363503
The input lag isn't that hard to fix and the combat system is solid.
All they have to do in the remaining months is polishing the game and selecting tracks for the radio
>>333363878
>>333363915
Still cause for worry as far as I'm concerned.

FFXIII was bad only because it's development was a poorly-managed shitshow.
It took 6 years. Square demanded a new engine be created to run all future games on every console. In addition, it had to handle animation, lighting, physics, character modeling, motion controls, networking, basically more than any other game engine in existence. The first two games would be FFXIII on the PS3 and FFXIV the PC MMO.
So they spent 4 years on the engine, the artists worked in a cave and wound up producing 3 times more assets than could be fit on a blu-ray. They wanted the game translated to english alongside development, so the english team wound up translating five whole games worth of discarded script. Getting a final script from the Japanese was impossible, since it seemed like everybody had different versions.
By the 4th year Square demanded a demo be released. So they made a battle system designed to match their earlier trailers, and it was only at the demo's release did they have an idea of how the game would actually play. Crystal Tools was unsurprisingly far from complete, so they parsed it down to suit FFXIII's loot hallway. The final script was modified mostly to tie together a bunch of art assets, the cutscenes were finished first and the rest of the game had to follow them

>>333363503
I hear alot of this input lag but I've never noticed any.
Sure your tv/monitor isn't playing a role in this lag?
>>333363503
>The facts from a demo.
Right, so your opinion is only based on facts when your opinion is strictly about the demo. The demo isn't the final game. Your opinion is not based on facts when you are talking about the final game, because there are no facts. The game isn't finished. The game isn't released. Anything you say until then is conjecture, and you are bashing a defensive opinion because it can be based on nothing but conjecture.
No matter how much you try to argue against this, you are wrong. Accept this and make better posts against FFXV in the future so that people who aren't shitposting can take you seriously.
>>333364250
Nah, it's a pretty widely reported issue.
And even if it wasn't I've tried multiple screens.
And even if I didn't, squeenix should be capable of making a game that works fine on any monitor, y'know, like every other developer literally ever.
>>333364250
It does have some input lag, not like, the character moves a second later, kind of input lag. But it's noticable sometimes
>>333364337
They chose to willingly put this demo out for people to play. Obviously they're at least somewhat satisfied with their work otherwise it wouldn't be downloadable. And more than that, it is very clear that the final game will be based at least vaguely on this general blueprint of gameplay.
This is not a PT situation where the final game is totally different. And don't try to tell me otherwise, because not only is that a ludicrous statement, since we've seen gameplay of the full game, and it looks just like the demo, but also because the game releases in just a few short months, and they wouldn't develop a combat system from the ground up exclusively for a demo.
Being worried about issues clearly present in this demo carrying over to the final game is the fucking definition of reasonable. There is literally nothing more concrete short of buying the game that one could be worried about. You are making every possible excuse trying to dismiss any possible fear over issues, and I don't understand what your malfunction on this particular issue is.
If you have a problem with the game as it currently is, like me, you have every single reason to be worried. If you don't have a problem with it, then you have no reason to be worried. The logic in these statements being that until proven otherwise, we have to assume the game will remain largely the same. There is literally no foundation to assume sweeping changes and improvements.
That's the basics of it. If you still don't understand, I'm sorry, but I don't feel like explaining it for a third time.
>>333364475
>not like, the character moves a second later, kind of input lag
Wait, what other kind of input lag is there? I didn't recognize any input lag either so I would love it if someone had a good explanation about what I should be looking for. Anyone point it out in a youtube video or anything?
>>333361662
When is P5 coming out exactly? Fucking Atlus. Aren't they done milking P4 already
>>333364734
He's saying it's not so severe as to be a full second later. It's much quicker than that, but still noticeable to those accustomed to action games.
>>333364673
They already said the demo is not part of the full game
This demo was made in 2 months by a sjaol team, there is no kid noctis gameplay in the full game it was done just for this tech demo
The reason they made this was to test the lighting in day night and weather system with the dynamic res, they just decided to mock up some kid noctis thing just for this so people could play around with the lighting and day night and weather
The adult Noctis stuff was also heavily mocked up and stripped down, only had 4 weapons in a dummy environment with majority of other combat features not even in it
It was not a game demo, it was a tech demo, this tech demo does not take place in the game nor are these exact environment's the ones from the full game either
>>333364673
If you were talking about the design of the combat in general, then yes you would have a good reason to be worried about the final game. You are mainly talking about performance issues though. Fine tuning performance should be one of the last things they change in a game before its release. There is reason to believe it will be fixed, and there is reason to believe it wont. You will believe whichever you choose based on bias alone, because if you were unbiased you would realize both are possible so there is no reason to believe in either and instead just wait and see what the outcome is.
My problem here is that you attacked others who disagreed with your opinion, stating they were not allowed to attack you because your opinion is superior. Just like you, I don't feel like explaining this anymore either. I understand your opinion, and you haven't had to restate it a single time to me. If you can express your opinion without attacking those that disagree, I would want to hear it in the future. In fact, right now I'm starting up the demo because I want to see if I can recognize the problems you pointed out since I didn't recognize it before.
>>333365190
Yes, well, luckily not a single one of the problems I mentioned had to do with kid noctis or the environment or lighting or whatever. Nor did they have to do with a lack of weaponry.
But if you want to let me know what 'major combat features' they removed, I'm more than willing to conceit if they seem relevant to my issues I had with the demo. However, I will say I don't see those combat features including "a character that controls better" and "fixing the input delay".
>>333364823
After playing games like super smash and monster hunter, I think I've probably become accustomed to a small amount of input lag so it probably didn't bother me enough to notice it.
>>333365343
I'm not trying to shit up the game for anyone. I would be more than happy to be the only person on earth who noticed the issues. I hope this game is fucking fantastic for everyone. I wish I could enjoy it the way other people seem to be enjoying it.
I'm not disappointed just to fuck with you. I'm genuinely just worried they won't fix what I perceive to be problems.
>>333365494
>I'm genuinely just worried they won't fix what I perceive to be problems
I actually had a problem with this recently. With Type-0's release the camera gave me headaches. I got to the point where I didn't expect them to fix the problem, so I sold it. I then found out they did change it after I sold it. Now I don't want to risk buying it again just to have it still be too annoying to play, but at the same time I hate not knowing... Is shareplay running pretty well? Maybe I can find someone who will let me try the game through shareplay.
>>333365775
Assuming shareplay is the ps4 thing, then it worked fine when I used it for Injustice. It got fucking laggy once I started playing with people, but it seemed fine enough before that.
>>333366027
>Assuming shareplay is the ps4 thing
Yes.
>look up share play details since I've never used it
>can play local multiplayer games together through shareplay
GOD DAMNIT. I could have been using my friend for end game grinding in One Piece PW3 this whole fucking time... Guess we will need to take a break from monster hunter tomorrow for some one piece.

>>333368790
Probably Regis when he was still younger
How do they expect it to sell 10 million so easily? Besides Grand Theft Auto I can't think of many games that hit that mark.
I remember The Last Of Us being hyped to high hell and it only sold around 6-8 million.
>>333368790
Regis' group, most likely.
>>333355134
No it wouldn't have, the gameplay stinks
>>333369673
They don't expect it; they just said it'd be nice if it managed to sell that much over the whole lifetime. And TLOU is around 10 million now, thanks to the Remaster.

I don't know if the gamespot article saying Luna won't be a guest party member is legit or not, but all that dlc will most liked be cosmetic shit like alternate outfits.

But FF loves their signature hairstyles.

>>333357363
>especially since people don't like that thing much anymore
Where does this assumption even come from? Why do they assume that classic Final Fantasy can't sell and that people don't like it much anymore?
I remember how they were very surprised at Bravely Default's success. As if classic Final Fantasy was somehow dead. And I can tell you this, that if Bravely Default was instead carrying the Final Fantasy name, and had a AAA budget behind it instead of just the bare bones budget of scraps left over in between other projects that it had, then it would have sold a lot more.
I love Final Fantasy. And played all the main numbered games. But why should the brand make me interested in a fucking action game?
>>333350195
>When the team was starting Final Fantasy XV, the brand image wasn’t very clear.
And Final Fantasy going from a series of RPGs with somewhat established conventions, into an action game is somehow supposed to make that brand image clearer?
>>333372369
I like how chill Regis is here.
>>333372369
I hope all paid clothing isn't just black. That'd be a waste if the cast only dressed like teens that shop at Hot Topic.
>>333372402
Compared to ED its a joke.
>>333372469
I doubt it will be all black. They said that the guys will sometimes have to dress like locals.
>>333372523
Yeah PD wasn't as great as ED, but Duscae had a lot more to do and going on plus a wider variety of monsters.
I don't see myself playing Platinum as long as i did Duscae, especially that you can't just skip to the combat.
>>333372469
His team might, but in Noctis' case it's the law. As royalty he's allowed to choose between black and black with gold trims/decorations. Granted, he's already committed a few heresies anyway (like his gun usage, which is also forbidden), but still.
>>333359509
I don't remember anything like that anon, but then again, I haven't been following this game all that well I suppose

"I'll stop talking about FFXV soon, but I was allowed to capture hours of gameplay from that thing. Expect Destiny: TTK levels of coverage".
Are we to expect long gameplay videos from Game Informer? I literally have no idea how they usually do these coverages.
>>333372806
He's right. From TGS:
>Dengeki: Lucis enjoys protection thanks to their crystal, but maintaining the magic Wall means that for generations the Lucian kings have been aging very fast. Please tell us more about this plot point.
>Tabata: This is pure fantasy, but it actually plays a quite large role. At the beginning of the game Regis is not even 50 years old, but he is already an old man. They really age extremely fast. The moment one becomes the king, his fate is sealed.
>Dengeki: So Noctis is destined for the same rapid decline?
>Tabata: Of course. After he takes the throne his aging will speed up.
>>333372937
https://www.gameinformer.com/p/thetakenking.aspx
Their TTK coverage looked like this.
>>333373056
Damn. The fujoshis won't be happy
>>333373056
I hope we can get a significant change in Noctis' design througout the game, there should be more games that do that. Especially if he changes (even if slighty) his hairstyle.
Also, does anybody think we might get his placeholder clothes as an extra? I'd love to see how his current design (without the potato face and even weirder hair) looks in that and it'd be a nice touch for long time Versus autists such as myself.
>>333373056
Old man Noct confirmed for FFXV-4 Swords of the Patriots.
>>333373252
To be fair, I doubt Noctis will rapid age during the game as he technically doesn't have the throne yet. Most likely it will be some timeskip at the end
>>333373252
Some official art already shows him vomiting blood (>>333354828), so if they do show some changes due to crystal cancer, it won't be pretty.
>>333357113
Is Regis wearing a leg brace?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHa4pvspCqc
>Final Fantasy XV.avi
>>333373529
Looks that way. He has a cane looking thing near his brace, so maybe along with aging, being king causes health degradation.
>>333373321
He formally became the king in the "I'll take it from here" scene in the newest trailer. The ring shown there is always worn by the reigning Lucis ruler, and he's shown putting it on.
>>333351239
This game is mgsv
>>333373529
Yeah. He walks with a cane in Kingsglaive, too.

>>333373681
The question is though, in order to maintain the magic wall, does a king have to physically sit on his throne to protect the kingdom?
I don't think Noctis is maintaining a thing during a road trip.
>>333350195
It kind of bothers me how most of the supporting cast and the setting has been redesigned to incorporate more a more fantasy-inspired aesthetic while still remaining modern but Noctis and his band have staunchly remained exactly the same with their literal Japanese urban fashion aesthetic.
They used to fit in with everything else but now that everything else has been changed they stick out like sore thumbs.
>>333373681
It's not necessarily just the wall; any special magic usage might be harmful. In the old 2011 trailer his party was worrying about the negative effects his powers were having on his body.

>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.
Too bad FFXV is a singleplayer MMO, the same issue that's been plaguing all the modern AAA games.
It also runs at 15 fps. So much for technology.
This isn't challenging shit, it's just desperately playing catch-up with the other big releases by copying their archetypes.
And with this mentality in the first place, the franchise will never be relevant again, it can only hope to be some sidekick in the industry. He's right with that line of thinking, at least.
FFVII, while mostly derivative of itself, did a lot of things right:
>pseudo-cyberpunk setting
Tons of effort was spent here, it's my favourite thing about the game - and it's an infinitely superior setting to the japanese backstreet boys "modern but with crystals" setting. Here we have two examples of two new ideas for their time, one being good, the other bad.
>materia system
Genuinely new mechanic that many games adopted as their own, industry-defining in some way - a shame it wasn't tested and ended up being broken and exploitable to shit - but the brilliance was there
>convoluted story
Which ultimately failed due to their incompetency to keep the plot holes out of their games as per usual, but it was a great effort nonetheless
Keep in mind that VII took a lot of risks for its time, being their first 3d high profile RPG. You may not realize it today, but the 5th gen was a bloodbath when it came to quality and audience reception.
Square just lost their touch, nothing else to say about it. I look at FFT, and I see quality. I look at FFXV, and I see an abortion that does not fill any gap nor needs to exist.
>>333374449
Well, the GoT cast is only going to be part of the film from what I've heard.
Game has different cast.
I can't take this game seriously not matter how much they want to hype out the game because of the damn boyband cast. Literally what the fuck, where is the goddamn charm and uniqueness? That's what made 12 10 9 and 7 so special.
>no females
>no monster characters
>4 fucking Vans split into his personality
>Regis used to be a sharply groomed and dressed man
>now he looks like a fucking hobo
What the fuck were they thinking?
>>333374515
>Square just lost their touch, nothing else to say about it. I look at FFT, and I see quality. I look at FFXV, and I see an abortion that does not fill any gap nor needs to exist.
i can relate to that
to this day tactics is still one of the better tactical rpgs
xv didn't even come out and it's already been long outdone both as an action game and as an rpg, even by games that came out 10 years ago
i think square-enix needs some serious focusing on their games, their shit is just too diluted to have an impact or make a long-lasting impression
>>333374589
The charm comes from the characters relationships with each other.
Little things like the "On Tour" missions, the fists bumps and such in combat, and the short dialogues between the characters as you travel.
>>333375107
Taking this into consideration, do you think squeenix will introduce some kind of love interest to one of the dudes?

Okay, holy fuck. I have gone all this time without hearing Noctis' voice. And wow he sounds like he should be twenty years older than he looks
>>333375692
Yeah they mentioned that. I wonder if they asked the VA to tone down the Batman voice.
His jap VA is superb though, really fits him. Thank fuck for dual audio.
>>333375475
There's forced contrasting variety that's vomit inducing and then there's cohesive different design that works together as a whole and improves the setting overall.
I just wish we had more of the latter.
>>333375783
Well that's good. Will the full game have dual audio?
>>333373056

That's just the thing though. Any normie that has been on a roadtrip would understand that bringing females along is a bad idea. Also, normies don't normally play games to fuck the cast, so they don't normally complain about genders. I highly doubt all of this complaining about an all male cast is from normies.

That's the singleplayer MMO
It has all the downsides of an MMO (dumbing down of everything required to have mass-multiplayer), without any of the upside (the massive multiplayer, the reason MMOs are crippled)

I don't remember ever playing any of the game. Sure, we experienced some gameplay mechanics that may or may not have very slight changes to them by release, but that is all.
Also if you want to mention Episode Duscae, remember that it wasn't supposed to be part of the game, and the game has clearly changed a bit since that demo anyways. It isn't even close to being a representation of the final game.
So when does GI release their new shit?
