They in the trailer they struck me as kind of being like the Turks. Though admittedly, that was probably a purely aesthetic thing.

XV does not show well (or is bad and they've done a good job of hiding it up till now).

The combat looked fine because I understand that for some reason instead of hiring someone like AccountingNightmare to play they will have the scrubiest intern demo the game and they dont know how to do anything, but that bosses attack patterns seemed so insanely boring to me and a lot of his GIANT BODY seemed to blend together.

And wow I can't believe I missed this but there was actually a butt-ton of gameplay shown at E3 that was not the presentation, showing off combat and exploration and dialogue and a hecatoncheir of stuff.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Well I know how I'm pimping my ride.

If Regis isn't dead Noct has some explaining to do about why the royal tank car looks like this, now.

Sibling special! Iris is Gladio's little sister, introduced in Brotherhood (though first seen during the Reclaim Your Throne trailer), and will be cruising along with you at times.

Second is Ravus, Luna's older brother. Seems like a charming fellow.

Also, dialogue wheel.

I'd be really upset but let's be real. A dialogue wheel is actually an advancement for FF

I mean, obviously, but we've gone through so many UI changes that it's "Eh" to me. It's not like this is "Previous game establishes lots of dialogue options, current game has wheel"

Actually looking closer it's less a wheel and more a d-pad.

If they made it so that you could pick up random hitchhikers, this would instantly become my GOTY.

why the gently caress didnt they show that at the press conference (obviously less long) instead of some intern idiot trying to play the game and failing.

Actually it was played by Mat Kishimoto, the Senior Product Marketing Manager at Square Enix America. He's also basically the guy who decided on the western box art and some other marketing.

e: He apologized and said he hosed up under pressure but then still was kinda bad when he tried again.

A lot of games come out on Friday. Nintendo games mostly do this, but also other big games like Until Dawn do as well.

The troll slot was because the release date got leaked by a few sites, including Gamespot accidentally uploading "FF15 releases on Sep. 30th!"

quote:

4Gamer:

Thank you for being with us today. FFXV's release date has been set for September 30th. Mr. Tabata, in our previous interview you said that you set up your own scheduled after becoming the director. Is the release date right on scheduled?

Tabata:

It is. I first decided it would be in September of 2016 and later decided on the 30th.

4Gamer:

Well,that's fantastic.

Tabata:

Then again, there may have been other circumstances that forced me to into September.

(Everyone laughs)

4Gamer:

Please tell us about the reason you why you thoroughly planned up to the released date.

Tabata:

The biggest reason was to make a concrete objective by deciding the release date. In order to decide the date, I estimated when so called AAA titles on current platforms would come out and what standard they would have. I felt we had to release FFXV while it was still part of the AAA category

I love Tabata's hard line with his team. "Do you actually have a legitimate point we need to address or are you just bitching for the sake of it. One of those is important to talk about, the other isn't."

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, but I really wish the FFXV main bros didn't already have tons of people looking too hard into their relationships with one another. As someone who can still remember vividly and fondly the memory of when I went on a camping trip with two of my friends and one of their girlfriend's several years back I feel like I know exactly what Tabata is trying to get across with the roadtrip feel, like a band of brother's type deal, but you see people's reactions on the Internet and it's always "this poo poo's gay" or "gettin' a real homoerotic vibe from this" or "OMG i hope tehy hook up XD".

It's the Kingdom Hearts fandom all over again.

This part is true. It's like people never went on trips with their friends. I'm 30 years old and still set aside time maybe twice a year to go on short road trips with my good friends.
