Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

[Lord_Ham_Mork]

So...KHIII has been leaked. Is there any possibility to have a random guy shouting spoilers in here?
I haven't used KH forums in this site and i don't know what kind of comunity it has. Is there a real menace to have someone posting spoilers here?
Thanks for the consideration.

Not really, as far as I’ve seen.
I posted an alert in the kh thread on here a few minutes ago just to let peeps know there’s leaks.
I do have access to them if anyone does happen to want them but I’m not about to go and ruin everyone else’s fun

I would be interested! I kind of like spoilers lol

 

[Prompto]

Just to reiterate in this thread, if you’d like a link to the Dropbox with the spoilers in just dm me, I’d rather not potentially spoil anyone else’s experience with the game and please remember to be courteous about spoiling others ^_^

Interesting, got my hands on the Mutant Blade of the Mystic and turns out it's not the one from the main game. Makes me wonder if the other two Rulers of Yore's drops are the same.

I'm glad it's actually not showing that much since they usually spoiled the entire things in the Brotherhood anime trailers.


It takes place 2000 years ago judging by Somnus and the whole Ardyn being corrupted stuff, the bit of him on the throne is probably gonna be him sitting there and reminiscing about the past and it showing the stuff 2000 years ago as a flashback.

Yeah I'm expecting the episode to play out with us meeting Ardyn during the 10 year wait and while he's waiting on the throne he'll probably start thinking back to his own past and how things led up to this point. That's when the flashback will start, showing us everything leading up to his imprisonment and the episode will likely end with the line and scene from the trailer.

Also something that I just thought of is that the character episodes have a trend of showing us previously unseen scenes within the main narrative like Gladio telling the bros about his adventure, Prompto having his conversation with Noct in the bunker, and Ignis getting not only the scene in Altissia where he tries to talk Noct out of continuing the journey but also an extension of the campfire scene. So I'm wondering where in the main story could they fit an extra scene that involves Ardyn. I'm thinking maybe during their little pit stop on the way to Titan we could see him talk to Noctis when he's alone or maybe we could see him talking to the crystal at some point.

From what I'm reading, on the lv.45 & 120 optional fights, to avoid Garuda's instant kill move (the one that causes the "error message") you need to have all four pilars still standing by the time she does that giant AoE blowback windmove. Appearently it's a nod to her raid challenge in XIV (I am not familiar with XIV).

Can't confirm its veracity since I haven't managed to keep all four pilars standing, yet.

From more recent reports the most consistent results are that you need at least two pilars alive to prevent the game over.

Btw Tabata says there was no correlation between him leaving SE and the XV DLC being cancelled.

It seems that Episode: Ardyn will answer remaining questions.:

And another user said that there'll be another Episode: Ardyn trailer at the Animate event in Tokyo.

Got those 8 weapons for the FFXIV collab for completionists sake, took about 5 hours of grinding - I did it by muting the game and instead listening to podcasts from my computer as I grinded.

Now moving on to those Glauca armour pieces in Comrades D:

At this point hope they just make 3 more anime episodes to deliver the story of those canned DLCs, having yet ANOTHER new piece of media (eh drama CD) would not be ideal for this disjointed narrative.

Wasn't Parting Ways a drama CD? But I digress, I don't like drama CDs.

Just save up your 99 for Glauca's Armor, I don't know how anyone can feasibly grind out Ardyn and Ravus. Better to grind the others for their rare drops and save up your item tokens for the armor in the meantime.

The first tweet was deleted, did you see what it said?

It was just someone translating the Japanese post, about apparently the devs cramming in Episode Luna and Noctis stuff into Episode Ardyn.

I bet the "mysterious voice" from the Crystal was the first Oracle.

If they really are going to try to still deliver the cancelled DLC as other stuff then if they can't put it in the game then the next best thing imo is to do it as an anime like Ardyn's anime and Brotherhood anime.
