Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

[Jubileus]

Honestly, I think multiple endings can have their uses, even on an emotional level. A recent example for me is the London Heist VR game --

Spoiler: London Heist

-- which really felt like it was meant to have all of its three endings play out in the order I played them. The first time through, I was really hesitant to choose who to shoot (which is even weirder in VR than in normal games =P ), so I waited too long and one of the guys flat-out murdered me (which is also really weird in VR). The second time through, I made my choice before the characters even got a few words out. XD And then it turned out that the guy the game was implying had betrayed me actually hadn't, but still thought I'd betrayed him, so I went back and tried the final way and got the big reveal last.

If the game had just told me I needed to shoot the second guy in the first place, I don't think it'd have been anywhere near as memorable. *shrugs*

Multi endings can be good for some titles, not so much for others. They can enhance replayability and enrich the story, or they can water down the story considerably.

For this game specifically, it's had a really rough history in addition to having insanely high expectations set by both fans and critics, so to give it a multi ending scenario would piss a lot of people off.

I don't think people would appreciate waiting 10 years for an ending that leads to confusion and debating about which is canon.

Glad that you enjoyed that VR game. Sounds like an absolute blast. Haven't looked into VR at all yet.

You can vote about what monster IGN fights during the livestream. Its between the Midgarsomr or the Bandersnatch. I personally went with the Midgarsomr cause I love watching the Midgarsomr's animations.

I voted Midgardomr, simply because we've already seen quite a bit of Bandersnatch one way or another.

 

[Argento]

Just voted Midgardsormr :3 and eeewww their stream is kinda late for me :/

 

[Jubileus]

Just a heads up regarding the IGN livestream.

Be very careful of the live chat. I've been hearing stories about a-holes purposely popping in to these things to spoil the game for others.

Games out next week guys.

I'm giving this a pass.

7 days left! :3

I want to be the cactuar. :3

I'd put that under spoilers, that image is from a stream and edited. Unless the mods don't feel its spoilery. But you are likely right though.

It's not really that spoiler, and it's not a direct embedded link. I'm not too concerned with people seeing it, as there's not much to take from it.

 

[Slaintimez]

So IGN will stream on twitch or somewhere else?

This is a very real thing.

Hide yo eyes, hide yo ears, cause they spoilin' everybody this week.

But, no seriously this week really will be spoiler week with so many copies in the wild so just be extra careful, yeah?

 

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

Anyone have a link to the livestream?.

Took me 10 minutes, but I found the sucker lol:

Thank you.

That's alright, just disable the chat as soon as you go in and you can avoid spoilers. That's what I intend to do. This starts at a half decent time for me.

I found one interesting tidbit:
"05 The world is called Eos. It’s a massive world with multiple continents that are all completely different, vibrant, and sometimes dangerous."

Could this mean that there actually are more open maps like the regions around Lucis, even on the other continents? Aside from all the ones we've seen in official promotions like Accordo, Duscae, Leide, Cleigne etc...

Much more we have Tenabre, Solhiem and Niflheim and each of them should have their own mini regions like Lucis has. Also we only know one area in Accordo which is altissia that one should have some different regions as well. We also have another continent (terraverde) which will have even more regions. We have seen absolutely nothing of this game yet.(like maybe 10% of it)

I found this one to be interesting too.

"There are tons of weapon classes and individual weapons! I don’t want to spoil this for everyone out there, as it’s much more fun to find out the massive breadth of how many weapons Noctis can wield. There are, of course, one-handed and two-handed swords, small daggers, guns, shields, polearms, axes… and tons more! Keep an eye out, though — you may even be able to evolve your weapons".

We have heard of an unfamiliar location a few months ago. Here are the concept artworks. There's already a leaked world map but if you are afraid of spoilers, stop searching for anything FFXV.

Spoiler: Continent 2

As I said before we have seen nothing yet in promotional material of this games world, this might be the biggest game world ever. Im so pumped to explore it even if it is going to take forever.

The thing I noticed in that was a thing that made me smile:

"02: Final Fantasy XV was built for both the hardcore and casual Final Fantasy fans, alike.

• If you love Final Fantasy, see number 15.
• If you aren’t familiar with it, the story, the characters, combat, and world are all new, so no prior knowledge is required to enjoy this experience!"

Yeah, they're really wanting to distance XV from its origins at this point. They're doing their best to wipe the slate clean.

I hope it's that way. That'll be for the best! And I found something interesting. One of the places shown in the above concept art exists and it's really noticeable on the world map (not sure if it is final or not). Can't wait to see it in-game!

 

[ChingleeTribal]

I hope they have a foggy/mist area in the game or the weather condition.
Would remind me off FFIX's mist continent :3
