I can't speak for why, but I've definitely had DLC codes that said it was only available through X date, and then I tried it afterwards and it still worked. No reason not to try, I guess, just be prepared if it doesn't work.

Yeah I bought that Uncharted boxset that had... I think 1 and 2 in it a while back and it had a DLC voucher that had "expired" 2 or 3 years before I bought that and it still redeemed itself so who knows.

They probably have to include expiry dates on the vouchers for weird legal reasons but no one is especially interested in putting in the legwork to make them expire.

It must be strange for Yoko Shimomura to be hearing music so long ago only becoming relevant now.

The Niflheim base combat demo looks so much better than what you can do in Platinum Demo that it compounds disappointment, even though that gameplay demo is 100% heavily rehearsed and the result of intense scrutiny and editing.

Thanks, I'm flattered.
One thing that really annoyed me about the demo was the camera/controls. The way it was set up made it really difficult to run straight, anyone else have that problem? For whatever reason that annoyed me more than anything else.

Next you'll be asking how to do Distortion toggling during Real Impacts to maximize damage. It's a 4 frame window, it's the easiest thing in the world.

Joking Aside I am absolutely excited for FFXV especially to see long time FF fans (read: People who aren't the greatest at jRPGs) having to tackle an action game. There's going to be a lot of scrub quotes. The only thing that could have been better is if FFXVI turns out to be a fighting game.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Dunno if there's going to be too much complaining. They built an auto-evade button and tactics to run away from the battle to recharge said auto-evade. And even if you reach 0 HP, you still get a rad summon if Duscae if anything to go by.

I play so many action games and I still could not do well on that last boss fight. It just feels completely different, it's not like DMC/Bayonetta where if you're good at the game you can do well no matter what, it feels like you have to know some hidden information about it first.

The primary demographic is teenagers (and since this is so similar to KH, teenage girls at that.)

It's also gay dudes because


I mean they've got something for all the different tastes you could have in boys. There's the quiet one with a troubled past, the rambunctious immature trouble maker, the big buff guy who likes to brawl, and the smart genius with glasses. Truly, this is a game that transcends all differences and gives everyone a boy to love. :allears:

Unless you count the fact he was broken down and unusable in Duscae and did not feature in Platinum demo*. I guess he isn't that trustworthy.

There are cars in the demo but not The Car.

One of the DLC you get for buying a collector's edition (the cheaper one) is a suit for Noctis, so there will probably be more of that. Get ready to pay 1.99 a couple times over to deck out your crew in suits, both formal and birthday.

Yeah, I don't think the Nier guy would be a good fit for Final Fantasy. The one oddball pick I'd make for an FF director would be Kamiya, but there's no way he'd go freelance off of Platinum.

...

...!

Hideo Kojima to direct Final Fantasy XVI.

I want Taro Yoko to make a Dissidia sequel where he emotionally crushes every FF character to despair until they eagerly await their inevitable deaths.

The entire game would have Theatrhythm gameplay, of course.

I take it back, I take it all back. I had my reservations about making a more upscaled Dissidia game, I thought the game worked perfect on the PSP and I was worried that the move would ruin it, but this is everything I wanted. The basic gameplay is still there, the fundamentals are still there, and everything looks phenomenal. I want this. I want to play this. Square, start making the port for this.

If they can polish that camera control a bit more, I'd be all in on the action. Hell, Platinum Does A Final Fantasy Spinoff would be interesting. Let me play as a badass moogle, I'm in.

I'm betting they're already making the PS4 version, but it isn't out yet because the game is basically incomplete. Right now we just have 15 heroes and no story mode. They're likely using the arcade version as a sort of paid, extended beta test, and once they've gotten the villain slate in there and made the story mode, along with incremental gameplay improvements based on feedback, that's when the PS4 version will come.
