Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

Unlocking exclusive meals would be relatively simple, no? The game was already capable of sufficient communication with outside executables to transfer Carbuncle's name from the Platinum Demo, and I can't imagine that the recipes require much more data transfer than that. The custom Glaive would be the tricky bit, because the main game on console presumably would have no further use for the character creator.

lol I totally forgot about the Platinum Demo. Then never mind. Other than the Ep. Ardyn capability patch and the patches pertaining to TERRA Wars and FFXIV that list that they put up now seems completely pointless considering we aren't getting anything else and it's really likely they aren't doing any other updates. Like it would of had a point if we were getting all 4 DLCS but DLCs were supposedly cancelled since the beginning of summer (Hence why they missed the Comrades Summer updates). So why add that patch list now? It seems redundant.

Well, it's not impossible that some of the things which had been partially implemented in the lead-up to the Royal Edition but not included with it could be completed and restored as development winds down, no?

With that said, can you show me the source that suggests that the DLCs were cancelled since the beginning of summer?

Also maybe this has been asked before but anyone wondering what the point was of adding that menu where you can view all upcoming updates? Seems kinda pointless with only 2 actual updates left in the game and only one paid for DLC.

That was....I don't know exactly, but well before the cancellation.

There was this statement regarding Luminous Productions from Matsuda in the financial briefing SE held recently . The Q&A was held on November 7th back when the initial report for the briefing came out, but the Q&A as part of the outline for the report was only posted on November 26th.

SQEX have been attempting to get their dev methods in order since the early 2010s. I hope they're finally starting to get somewhere with it.

About development times, I remember in one interview either Kitase or Hashimoto mentioning something about SQEX aiming to get their big games done in about 3 years.

3 years and 1 year full update every month after the game release, lol. XD

Walk tall, my friends.

Even if the FFXV team isn't doing anything for today at the very least it feels nice that the Dissidia Opera Omnia team decided to release Noct today. It's not much but it's something I guess. It's somewhat funny that a spin-off mobile game is handling FFXV's second anniversary better than FFXV itself. lol

It's weird that the social media account isn't being used. Like, I'm sure there's plenty of birthday fanart for them to retweet, so...?

Too bad the game isn't isn't very good

I’d imagine they’re lying low for now, trying to avoid the posts being spammed with negative comments about that travesty of an anniversary stream

Retweeting fanart would be a way to get around that, though, since they wouldn't be the OP of the post. =P

Speaking of... this one's really cute. <3

Enh, it's a good bit of fun. Plus the team for it gives back to the community a LOT. So aside from it being fun for me the devs for it also have my respect in that regard. Not every day you find a free mobile game that actually plays decently and isn't trying to gouge you for money just to perform the most basic of actions.

I love the fact that when Darin was talking about the game bringing people together he actually did the same gesture as Ardyn from Kingsglaive when he proposes the marriage between Noctis and Luna. You can tell just how much he loves this role. lol

Nice, glad to see they didn't forget.
