"When Noctis begins his journey, King Regis is at home handling the peace negotiations between Lucis and Altissia (Luna's home nation)."

Edit: Never mind, I tweeted GI and the article has been fixed!

I'm glad it's coming soon. Not because I think I'll particularly like it (I have no idea, honestly) but because I still can't picture how this thing is supposed to work. The only pinball I've ever played is pinball. RPG pinball is an entirely foreign concept to me.

I don't know if this was already known but it looks like according to the hub, next GI update is tomorrow April 20th, as opposed to today. So they are actually giving us 3-4 updates per week. I don't care myself and it makes sense, they probably don't have enough information to update every weekday beween now and May, lol!

Considering they only played the first chapter of the game, I was already expecting them not to have many things to say.

PLEASE BE EXCITED FOR THE SKY!!!

But seriously, the amount of work going in to this game is impressive. The lighting in the Platinum demo was great so it will be interesting to see how the world of Eos changes with the time of day.

Yep, kinda feels like GI is out of stuff to talk about. On topic, only thing Im curious about is how long 24in game hours will be. They don't explicitly go into that...
It's more likely that they are trying to stretch out the info that they were given. We will get more footage for sure. We still havent seen Altissia yet which was in the GI FFXV coverage trailer.

GI update! There isnt too much new stuff shown, but there is a bit more footage than we have seen before of the early Lucil area:
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featu...eet-final-fantasy-xvs-legendary-composer.aspx

Iv'e been waiting for this! Being a musician and fan of Shimomura's music for this game, I was a bit disappointed that she was sort of glossed over during the Uncovered enent by the SBM announcement. Understandable, but still was a bit disappointng. Her music brings the story and world of Versus/XV alive. Its one of the biggest reasons why XV still feels largely tied to its roots, especially when it was re-anounced in 2013.

Edit: Yor right Dr, there is a bit more of the gameplay mechanics being displayed as well. I mentioned it was new from the other point of view. Those that don't want to see to much more footage. For long-time followers though, it looks great, and really for the first time is giving the game a surreal sense of completeness.

I mean the Lucil area was glimpsed as far back as 2008 in CG, and then in 2011 in the PS3 gameplay both it and the Duscae region were shown!! This

I think may be the original form of the giant flying creature seen at the end of the new footage. Amazing!

There's a lot of gameplay footage in there, too. It's worth a watch. Actually quite a bit of new, good stuff. More on magic (specifically the effects from blizzard and how fire canceled that out immediately), some more of the Zu at the end there. Duscae looking a lot brighter and more colorful, and what may be what it looks like when you both start and complete a hunt (that's in two different parts. It shows them talking to someone in a shed and it looks like that starts the quest, and the part where it looks like it's completed is when you see carbuncle show up)

Yeah, that was a really good video. This is going to be a long wait until September. Then again, it's already been a decade. :p

I wonder why they chosed to make Blizzard an enviroment changer spell ? It´s cool and I like but something in my head tells me that having the generic ice block instead would be less taxing for the hardware.
