Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

Definitely unique. And I really appreciate that part about it. And totally understand why some people (especially the younger ones) will have a tough time adjusting to something that breaks the cookie molds of everything else that's out there. But, to me, that is the whole point. The flying isn't like flying in other games, on purpose. The road trip feel isn't like other games, on purpose. Pitioss Ruins.... Oh man, how unique that one is.

Weird, unique and beautiful, despite a few warts. Warts that are just part of a whole.

Warts that may get the duct tape and acid treatment in the future! love the game, but I'm just excited that Square isn't abandoning the project beyond DLC. Fix and improve the story as much as you want, I've grown to love what we got over time, but if there is anything else they want to do, I'm excited

It reminds me a bit of the Matrix sequels in a sense, which is to say: those movies have scenes that absolutely batter the shit out of the first movie and are incredible, but it's surrounded by a lot of weird and bad shit, basically. I think like with those movies, the negative side will persist but over time people will be kinder to it for the good, too.

I think FF13 and FF15 are roughly the same quality, and inverse: FF13 is relatively mediocre ideas executed with a surprisingly strong confidence, FF15 is strong ideas executed shakily.

If there's one thing that's unique about Squenix, it's that they're not afraid to do a ton of work on a game after its release.

I've heard KHIIFM+ described as one of the best action RPGs out there, and that's largely on the strength of its additions (Critical Mode and the associated rebalancing, Exp None, the Roxas encounter, Cavern of Remembrance, Data Organization XIII, Mushroom XIII, etc.). FFXII IZJS sounds like a completely different beast than vanilla XII, what with the entirely revamped progression system and fast forward option. And even less thorough alterations have still added some great content, like KHBbS' Secret Episode.

XV is an extension of that... except that part of the expanded material will be free and the rest still won't cost as much as a full game. Seems like a good thing all around. xD;

See? It's still totally VS afterall!

Lol its looks definitely like that or at least a snow region in the mountains. still convinced that Gladios episode focuses around Galahd, while Ignis is more on the greater altissia and accordo...hopefully

I'm kind of hoping that the DLCs are implemented in a way that allows them to be integrated into the game itself for the inevitable Complete edition. As cool as it'll be to explore those areas, it'd be even better if they functioned as expansions to the main game instead of separate scenarios. (There's always mods when the PC version comes out, I guess...)

Spoiler

I want a DLC (be it free or paid) about Libertus and Galahd. If it can´t be in DLC form, I want it something else, like a novella, audio drama, ova, etc.

 

[Jenova]

I haven't played the game yet, but everything I've seen points towards being a superior game than XIII. Not sure how someone could come to the conclusion they are about the same when that isn't the case just on appearances alone.

 

[Nova]

I won't speak for anyone but from my experience with renting FFXIII at one point, i went up to chapter 3 before confirming "yep this shit isn't for me" before returning it in disgust.

Haven't had the same reaction with XV, comparatively. In fact, chapter 3 of said-game left me wanting more than what XIII could ever hope to offer.

 

[Somber]

audio drama

I hate this little thing. They never get localized.

It already has been, at least in script form.

Meh, apart from NGP I see nothing enticing there.

All I wanna know is will the patch iron out bugs and glitches and whether we will get a updated Pro patch.

Yeeaaaah!

Bought the season pass a few days ago. Glad I did xD

Thanks for the share.

Judging from Ray Chase's comments about the newly recorded script for the holiday pack, we are in for a treat.

Personally I'm greatly looking forward to it.

I'd wager some bugs and glitches will get ironed out too since it's a good time for another update.

 

[Jenova]

Wouldn't make much sense to include a patch in a DLC package. The PRO Patch will probably be detailed and released later. Hopefully, still on schedule for December.
