"Gladio is clever and is the leader of the group. While sitting in the car, he will read a book. He also flirts with girls."
"Galdin Quay is inspired by southern Thailand, it will have a traditional Thai massage. Noctis will react to that in the game."

about the map, it's pretty clear the Rock of Ravatogh is located on B.

Yes, that is correct. The area I marked with B in the Cleigne region is where The Rock of Ravatogh is located. The road leading up to that point is named Ravatoghan Trail and the body of water East is Maidenwater.

Yeah I dont think the leaks are real there are definitely more than 7 summons.

Im prepared for 7. I think that's a decent amount. Tabata said it wouldn't be a big number and I'm cool with that. Don't need no filler. Make it a special moment each time you get one, hit all the fan favorites and maybe one new one and we're good.

Q:Fairly early on in the game you find a book with the name of some Summons in there. Are those all the Summons that will be in the game or are there some beyond those? My favorite ones weren't there, which bummed me out, so I was wondering if they would appear later on down the line.

A:... As for whether all the Summons listed in the book are the entirety of the set in the game, I'm going to keep that secret. You'll have to play the game.

According to Tabata, there is no new summon in XV. Only returning faces.

where did he say this?

where did he say this?

The same interview where he stated one of the summons would be getting a shocking redesign.

Without spoiling anything:

Could you tell us where this Info leaves us vis-a-vis leaks?

An answer like - "they are exactly as predicted", "there are some not mentioned in leaks" would be appreciated. I'm still extremely cautious of these leaks.

Many thanks.

 

[Nova]

Yeah, well, that was known. What's new is that it's by Naora.

"Beim Stöbern in der offenen Welt stolperte ich dann über ein anklickbares Objekt, auf dem die Rede von den mythischen sechs Göttern war, die die Spielwelt erschaffen haben sollen. Neben

Spoiler

Ifrit

fielen da auch noch die altbekannten Namen

Spoiler

Shiva

und

Spoiler

Bahamut

."
​

Translation:

"While rummaging around the open world I stumpled upon a clickable object [a book], which talked about the six mythical gods that are said to have created the game's world. Besides

Spoiler

Ifrit

there were also familiar names like

Spoiler

Shiva

and

Spoiler

Bahamut

"​

The fact that

Spoiler

Ifrit

is mentioned alongside the other

Spoiler

Astrals

this technically destroys the 4chan "leak" even further aye?

One of the leaks has been very accurate so far purely based on predicting what's been shown at events. It's impossible to know if this leak is at all on point when it comes to story elements, however, and I'd take literally any leak with a grain of salt.

The fact that

Seeing as some of the leaks directly involve

Spoiler

Ifrit

I don't think it does much to discredit them.

Same, I'd be happy with 7 or even 6 if that meant a meaningful way to include them in the story.

It certainly could, but I don't think it's enough evidence at this point. That summon could be playing an essential role in the story enough to be mentioned and addressed in that leak, so I wouldn't be quick to discredit that leak just yet.

However, the majority of the summons play an important role in the plot already, though. Especially higher ranked ones like Leviathan. They also aren't entities that concern themselves with human affair.

We also (obviously) know that they'll be obtained by fightning them to prove your worth, so i personally don't see it being too much different with the one i mentioned in spoiler.

Yeah, plus...

>implying Ifrit is more powerful than Bahamut

the same pamplhet that confirmed Noctis ability to see "the light of expiring souls" mentioned Solheim; it's still in the game, hope it's explorable.

I'm very interested in that city, considering it's the only kingdom we know nothing about (we've even seen Niflheim already).

The "Sol" makes me think of a sunny/hot place. Maybe even Middle Eastern-inspired. Or tropical (although we already have (a very small) one in Golden Quay. I could see Solheim not appearing in the game too much, though.

 

[Somber]

I guess Solheim is in that area north of mark A in the map.

Spoiler: Map

 

[Lulcielid]

Something that we may not have considered. While a location might be present in the plot/lore/world of XV it wouldn´t necesarily mean that we will go there in-game. For Example:

1. Solheim is mentioned in XV.
2. Shit happens in the plot
3. Due to said shit happening, is not possible to go to Solheim (and/or other locations) in-game (i.e: the locations is destroyed/erased from existence or something).

 

[DrBretto]

I think we considered the crap out if that with Insomnia.

 

[ChingleeTribal]

Full intro

My opinion:
the most underwhelming, rushed and tame FF intro in a while. Very underwhelming if that is the final version.

Still give it a pass but, meh.
I'll just pretended Kingsglaive is the full intro xD
