Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

[Paperchampion23]

So this might support there being other large maps aside from Lucis (Having problems with images so bear with links for some of them!)

Look how ridiculously big the boat is! There's probably only one reason for that: You need to also fit the Regalia in the boat! That back area of the boat also looks like a door (you can see this in the Altissia trailer and a number of other times)

If you look at any picture of Altissia, like here:

You always see the city facing the giant castle, and you never see anything facing the opposite direction. Where does that water exit lead to? I have a feeling there are other big patches of land and road just like Lucis beyond Altissia (probably what makes up the nation of Accordo and probably to the north and west of Lucis lies other big lands as well)

Also, the layout of the city shows the 2 exits going into the land. It has obviously changed, but same concept applies: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net...st/scale-to-width-down/2000?cb=20160518190245


Edit: Fuller pic of the boat: http://imgur.com/S9HvoOL (the back seriously looks like a door)

I can't wait to get to explore Altissia. It's one of the coolest looking cities I've ever seen in a game.

At 08:00 AM PDT Tabata will be having a conference at Barcelona Games World (a gaming event in Spain), don´t expect anything new though.

"All in all, my short time with the game did enough to make me do something I rarely ever do with a game anymore, pre-order. I saw enough in the time I was given and enjoyed the experience so intensely that I will be beyond surprised if the full game turns out to be anything short of amazing. Final Fantasy is a series that can be hard to just pick up and fully get into without knowing an encyclopedia of information, but that’s where I feel the strength of FFXV really lies, there is truly something here for everyone. There were a lot of big games on display at EGX, but few came even close to promising anything on the same scale as Final Fantasy XV."

This is a serious endorsement.

this conference seems legit, given that we got a lot of new footage on twitch-con i think we might have something new today (it keeps delivering, glowing previews and Beyond Good and Evil 2 confirmed, what a day to be alive).

Storm, if you don't stop posting soon, I'm going to be over my 4 hours and I'll have to call a doctor.

Million dollars question: Will the stream it?

I don't think it's being livestreamed (might be wrong, though), so I'm expecting nothing.

Hell, I'm a Spaniard and I didn't even know that Tabata was coming over here (well, I'm from Madrid so it's not like I could have gotten there easily even I wanted to). If there's some nice tibdit that's interesting, I can translate it (have to finish a project, but I like procrastinating).

EDIT:

I think this is the first time we see save files. Stop the presses.

Someone is streaming the conference live on periscope:

They seem very passionate about Chocobos xD

As expected, absolutely nothing new: they're pretty much introducing the game to the audience (which is cool, as this game can reach a much bigger audience, even though FF is already popular as fuck here and in the rest of Europe).

"The main theme of the story is three bonds: first off, the bond with your father; the second one is your relationship with your friends: it'll be essential; the third one, the bond with your girlfriend: the relationship between Noctis and Luna will have an important role".

I find it funny that they call Luna Noctis' girlfriend (I mean, the correct term would be fiancee as they haven't seen each other in a long ass time).

Stream broke off, here's a new link, they're showing fishing fishing right now:

Edit: driving around now
Edit2: The river area looks nice design wise. It's in front of the twitchcon dungeon I think.

This may be pretty much exclusive to me, but if anyone is trying to watch this at work, and noticed there's not mute button, you can actually mute tabs by right clicking at the top.

I have pandora running in another tab, so I can't just mute everything.

 

[Tornak]

Yeah, now they're on the same area that was shown during Twitchcom.

I hope they upload it later on, so that we have a non-stinking player of that place.

EDIT:

 

[Slaintimez]

Finally a good player ot its just bad quality so i can't see shit?

Also this periscope stream is lagging a little bit, its for me only?

It's alright on my end, although I'm not really paying that much attention.

Edit: lol, did they just make a paella?

Stream is fluid for me.
And yeah, the player is better, just rolling around a bit to much I think.
Having a camping spot in the dungeon is cool though.

 

[Slaintimez]

And yeah i definitely can see that PS4 version looks the same as Death Spell trailer. Due to the same time of a day.
They fixed water btw
