Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

[Lord_Ham_Mork]

I'm feeling a big relieve reading Tabata saying what he wanted to do with the narrative being vague was a failure. So the new dlc will be focused in a classic way of storytelling that the fans have been demanding so the game doesn't have holes.

I hope the new dlc don't try to be revolutionary with it's content and instead ends up being like big patches for certain moments of the game.

I believe that Episode Ardyn,Luna and Noctis should happen after Noctis goes into the Cristal, so chapter 14 ends being more like a third act instead of a final dungeon.
While Episode Aranea can be a rebrand of Chapter 12.
For me the train part being rushed didn't bother me. It was the moment when Noctis started to know things that i didn't when i felt like the game was skipping content.
So i want to see him discovering everything related to his role and see the important events in his past that starts his role of King of Light.

would be ideal, but noctis and luna will probably be non-canon, as tabata said in the interview, they want to tell a "brand new story".

Nomura in 2013 said he was vetoed from turning it into a musical, he was actually serious about it.

damn lol surprised there isnt any musicals in KH considering it uses Disney content (or are there? didnt play all of them).

I'm sorry if this feels redudant, because i already said similar things before. But if everything happens inside the Cristal, Episode Noctis could be about him deciding to use Umbra to give a premonition to himself in Insomnia before he goes into his journey. Trying to evade all the events we have seen, because he doesn't trust Bahamuth when he's told that everything that happened is the best course of action.
So in Insomnia Noctis tries to save everyone in the Citadel so they're more prepared against Ardyn.
But shit hits the fan, with Noctis killing Luna and everything ending the same way or worst, being the entire set about him experiencing part of Omen, Versus XIII and Kingsglaive events. Ending the episode with Noctis entering in the Cristal and chosing to go back again to the start of the game so everything happens as the original way.
Having a montage with different scenes like him giving a propper farewell to his father, writting a more beatiful letter to Luna before going to Altissia and seeing him struggling too keep his knowlege in secret, letting them die. So he enters the Cristal accepting his role as the King of Light and starts in Chapter 14 justifiing why he ended up being more mature.
Finally knowing that the dreamed ending with everyone happy is not posible.

So the 3 episodic dlc would be about, Noctis learning about Ardyn from Bahamuth, he asks why Regis and Luna accepted their fate, showing their struggle and ending with him refusing his call, so he can learn to accept his destiny while we see the events in Insomnia before we come to take it back (and we meet Nix, so his dead body being hanged makes sense).

With this we end up filling all the holes without touching the main experience and everything keeps being the same.

KH2 had a really notoriously cringe inducing musical section.

Was it Tabata that said before release that FFXV's most important relationship/theme was between father and son lol?

he said it was one of the themes, but i dont think he specifically said it was the most important one.

Ep Noctis should be partially focused on that, imo (hope it does in some way), no reason to do a "brand new story" if the main story elements werent totally covered up.

Very disappointed.

Very disappointed.

Chill. This isn't even what we're gonna see at the twitch stream

 

[Storm]

their TGS line-up should have a tag for new trailers, then at least we would know what to expect.

Me too, holy shit... Need some coffee for tonight and I'll pray for good content lel.

 

[Storm]

you would think they would release a trailer in the big screen if there was anything substantial for the dlcs, or even to promote standalone comrades, instead of holding them for a twitch stream on the last day of TGS.

 

[Nova]

Regarding standalone Comrades + the update, since Fall starts tomorrow & that it will skip it's Summer deadline, I think it's safe to assume that a delay may have happened.

When or if it'll release during early fall (or later) we'll probably find out soon.

With it just being a 30 minute presentation, I'm not expecting much.

 

[Bazztek]

I said it before and I'm saying it again but I don't expect much beyond Comrades update stuff/Mod stuff.

dont forget the 10 minutes for Pocket Edition promotion.

anyway, super excited for the level editor

 

[Lord_Ham_Mork]

We will atleast see the Tomb Raider Collab.
And to be honest. I hated the Carnivals because they where too good and fun but contributed to nothing.

So, how about if the Tomb Raider collab is a dungeon this time? Using mechanics similar to the tombs of the recent TR.
Maybe they have the guts to add lore in there and we end getting the dual pickaxe as daggers at the end.
I can clearly see Noctis fighting magitek with a bow because the device that blocks magic has been activated.

A dumb fun idea that will anger me for enjoying it. The fuel to make the fanbase burn in desire to have more real content and make us paranoid about how this will effect negatively the second Season.
Marketing genius.

 

[Nova]

Yeah I'm quite interested in witnessing the amount crazy stuff the community can pull off with this:

The fact that the team also intend to expand existing tools in the future after the ones this year get released bodes well imo:

"What we're providing with the initial set of the characters and weapons mods and the level editor later on are at the first stages of what we could provide. So once we have a chance to see how people respond to that, we would love to continue expanding that into providing better tools, bigger tools, and really just see how far we can go as far as giving content for players to customize and enjoy."
