Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

[Slaintimez]

As much as i love Luna as char, i don't want her to be playable even in DLC, she is not that type of character, i can't really imagine Luna fighting much, maybe some magic, but still.
I prefer her to be more as 5th member for more time!!

i don't want to be hyped for the actual score, but man i'm hyped.

Check out Neogaf thread about FFXV meta predictions. I genuinly laughed so hard at people who think that will score <85

Infos :

- Their goal for the DLCs is really to focus on Noctis' friends .
- Each DLCs includes new story elements , new gameplay experiences and new locations .
- The journalist(s) saw footage of Gladio's DLC , it was in a cave and represented 20% of what the devs are aiming for , and that the animations still needed to be worked on .
- They saw a fight against an armored guy and it really reminded them of the Souls Saga .
- The footage ended with a more powerful boss .
- The length of each DLCs should be enough for every kind of gamer .
- The DLCs aren't linked to Kingsglaive or Brotherhood , just the main game .
- They won't talk about their planning until it is ready .
- The team is aware of the high demand of a DLC featuring Luna as the heroin and he said they will think about it.
- Gladio's gameplay is action oriented , it is quite different from Noctis' .
- Sawatari Haru Yoshi (the DLC director ) worked on Bloodborne and he admits that Gladio's gameplay has some similarities. He is happy that the journalist noticed this detail.
- From the beginning FFXV , the main game , was focused on Noctis so they aren't worried about those who think party switching was removed to make new DLCs . The DLCs are purely additional content.

i want to play this game for a long time, so i welcome more dlcs... and luna as a controllable member would be fantastic.

mumba thanks a lot for the impressions ; )

Gladio playing like Bloodborne is fucking beautiful.

Check out Neogaf thread about FFXV meta predictions. I genuinely laughed so hard at people who think that will score <85

It's still very possible that the game will score around or less than that and it's still a very high score. Not that I care really.
I tend to not agree with 'big' reviewers anyways.

Of course, I'd like to see it score as high as possible if it's deserving of it.

Can anyone confirm if this parry counter is still in the game:

 

[llazy77]

Why wouldn't it?

 

[ChingleeTribal]

Why wouldn't it?

Because:
-they changed/removed some stuff from ED?
-I haven't seen it in any of the footage outside of ED(although I have seen very little footage)?

Score predictions are silly at this point. Yes, even for you who thinks it will score above that.

Depends. I mean there is some fun to be had from it if you're not all serious about it.
For instance, some people make silly/fun bets over it.

Kotaku no longer gives a numerical score though.

Jason Schreier said that the preview build save can be carried over to the review/gold build.

To me, this is the final nail in the coffin that there's not going to be more to the Titan battle. If there was more to the battle in the gold version, I don't think SE would give reviewers the option to skip it entirely.

Have some of you never followed a sport? there's nothing wrong with making bets and predictions and rooting for outcomes and all that. That's like, half the fun of following these games online. There's no need to be all above it all, just have fun with it.

Yeah, I would agree. I was already convinced after tracking down the source of the quotes. Take that evidence away and there's no reason to believe there was more in the first place. But, this would nail it in.

But this ain't no sport, foo'! This is video games! Be a bit more serious, yeah?

I am from New England, sir. There is nothing we take more seriously than sports.

 

[ChingleeTribal]

Football/Soccer is the most serious of serious matters around where I live. People can get killed if they say the wrong thing xD

I personally dislike the sport lol.
....I kinda liked Blitzball though(don't kill me).

At least in this case the blame can't be placed entirely on Tabata considering he wasn't the one who made the 30% statement, unless i read it wrong.

Watching the PGW stream again and I noticed that they showed this: https://imgur.com/a/NYEe7

Amazing how it is all so huge yet looks so small here.

Edit: Also, you'll notice that much of that land to the north (where those mountains are) is where Galahd technically should be, if we are following this map: http://i.imgur.com/BjD9SH1.jpg

You read it right. Single, unofficial source, translated from Japanese to French and then to English. Nothing official anywhere. And with no expectations of anything more, I continue to be perfectly OK with how the fight is presented.

 

[Paperchampion23]

Also this area https://imgur.com/a/yN09i hasn't been seen yet in the slightest as well. Those rock formations are not anywhere in Lucis.

On monday Jason Schreier is going to post a Q&A about the first five chapters of the game on Kotaku. Someone who has a Kotaku account could ask him about the Titan fight, if only for a final nail in the coffin.
