hmm...

FFXIII cutscene after cutscene approach was a bit tiring, indeed; i just hope for a big story, with amazing and impactful cutscenes.

can someone (@Storm ?) ask him who has a twitter account if he meant FMV (full motion vide) or in-game cutscenes?

I think many are confusing "less static cutscenes" with "less story". Tons of dialog and exposition that would've been long cutscenes in other FFs are now in the form of dynamic cutscenes or banter during exploration and driving, which naturally reduces the amount of static cutscenes. Even Nomura wanted to have more real-time cutscenes back in Versus days. Don't see the problem as long as the exposition is there in any form, and at least it's not audio tapes or datalogs. Through banter it's at least more organic than with cutscenes, though you could miss out if you don't explore much.

See this from Jason Schreier's Q&A today:

Are the story and characters easy to understand when you haven’t seen Kingsglaive or the Brotherhood anime? -@MoogleKupoCake

Not really. I haven’t watched Brotherhood. I’d recommend watching Kingsglaive so you see the other side of what happens during Chapter 1 of Final Fantasy XV, but it doesn’t seem essential.

On the other hand, it seems like you’ll miss a lot of important story and character development if you’re not poking around the world. A surprising amount of the story unfolds through dialogue while you’re driving and wandering around, which makes it A) easy to miss but B) far more interesting than it would be if you were subjected to dozens and dozens of cutscenes.​

I just asked one previewer about Titan battle, my question was "Is there is any continuation of Titan battle after you destroy his arm?" and he said "Yes, but shhh"

Hope is alive?

I would think SE provided a list of points they want to keep under wraps. Perhaps the Titan fight is part of it.

I think this confirmes that the preview build wasent the whole fight, and we thought that the final nail had been put on it, looks like the nail has been pried.

Well then lol, unnamed source possibly vindicated.

You might remember this from earlier this month: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFXV/comments/568tv8/played_the_game_at_nycc_today/

"Also, met and talked with Matt from SE. He told me some very interesting things about the delay and the E3 Titan demo. He literally asked me not to put this info on social media. I'm still torn but either way I'll post it when the game is near release."

Oh yeah guys, how are you celebrating the 9th of November? Since its the day after my exams end, I'll be watching all the tv shows I'm behind on, and maybe playing WoFF. Maybe DQB (since both are in my backlog). Btw, just in case you didn't know, the 9th of Nov is gonna be the 10.5y anniversary. I mean, sure its not as special as the 10y anniversary, its the only big thing happening before the release.

Its from latest russian video, i asked him in comments section. You can find and translate it if you want.

You guys, FFXV is coming out this month! Who else is excited?

I still don't understand why people insist that seeing Luna getting knocked around destroys her chances at being a strong character? Strength isn't just physical. Also the times where we've seen her be knocked around were under conditions where it makes sense for anyone to be knocked around.

I don't think I've ever been this excited for a game

Easy target for complaints. They choose to ignore context.

Amusingly enough, I saw less of that sort of reaction after the Omen trailer (where she was actually killed!) than usual. I suspect that the trailer's focus on Noct getting knocked around might have had something to do with it -- Luna's sort of treated as a stand-in for the game's treatment of female characters in general, but treating her similarly to the player character would seem sort of strange to criticize.

My vote is 2008 concept trailer nostalgia.

We must not let this forum turn into a clusterfuck about Stella vs Luna. That shit gets really annoying on other sites.
