Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

Off-road is actually driving on the dirt/grass, not with just with a part of the car.
Having said that, I don't care nor need the car to go off-road. I want to do that with the chocobos. The car can stay on the road, as long as it steers properly on the road itself (which it now seem to do).

they went off road

Didn't say you couldn't. Look at the post I was replying to.

Just a small thought, where was Regis exactly called Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII? Does anyone know?
Also, I think the number 113 (CXIII) no longer carries any meaning (assuming it actually carried one in the first place) in the current incarnation of XV and perhaps that's why he's always adressed as just Regis Lucis Caelum now.

Hes the 113th king of Lucis.

I meaning in the sense of Lucis having that many kings being of any relevance.

I dont think all the kings were relevant maybe only some were choosen to be "special"

Spoiler

to be part of the KOTR and have thire weapons collected by Noctis

 

[Storm]

design is exactly the same
would be great if the weapon fully upgraded unlocked a new technique or special effects.

 

[llazy77]

I keep saying this over and over but I cant help myself. Versus Lives

 

[Lulcielid]

Wonder where did Regis buy that sword as Noctis present? :/

 

[Nova]

There are people who literally think Tabata changed Nomura's character (part by taking his viewpoint of Noct out of context via interview) when that clearly was never the case at all.

@Storm Weeeeeeeell Tabata from E3 did say the Engine Blade has special properties.

In terms of the CXIII thing it could be like we have Henry VIII of England IRL, however instead of it being the 113th Regis in the line of kings, it's the 113th Lucis Caelum in the line of the kings of Lucis.

@Lulcielid Because of that engine motif maybe Cid made it for Regi to give to Noctis? I mean I would assume a king would have some sort of blacksmith or the equivalent at hand, and Cid is an old friend who can upgrade our weapons.

Has Tabata or anyone else ever talked about these engine blades?. Has he talked about what they do and why they have and engine on them in the first place?. I've always been curious as to what their abilities are.

In-Universe answer: It probably gives special properties.
Out of Universe answer: Rule of Cool.

Other weapons have special properties of sorts too though. I just wanna know what they have that's different than other weapons.

 

[Bionicle8563]

Noctis is a big motorcycle and car buff.

[LeonBlade]

The engine might be a fusion of magic and technology (like magitek) that allows the weapon to be imbued with magical properties that can be harnessed at a higher level than just summoning it into battle.

Engine Blade by default can syphon magic from enemies, but we're not sure what else it will do when it's upgraded other than get more magics.

 

[Noctis0312]

Nice How was it? How long did you get to play? Find anything interesting that hasn't already been seen?

Great! Played for only 20 minutes or so, the queue was about 3 hours long. I'm guessing it was the "master" version, same stuff as in the 50 minutes of gameplay. The one thing I noticed is that the first CG intro after Chapter 0 contains some few extra scenes that were not shown before, that's about it I guess.
Been waiting for a XV bundle to get a PS4, but now going to make the jump straight to PS4 Pro, most likely.

In this Q&A from this year's E3, he confirmed that the "Engine Sword" is still featured in the game, and has "special functions". He also confirmed something called the "Airstep Sword", which I really don't know where that came in.

Did you guys read it? Why she is talking about massive fps drops and bad performance? Like i haven't seen direct feed video from dualshockers.

The airstep sword is used in the Platinum demo and it allows for aerial combat.
