From what the gameinformer report was, FF15 has a very set path if you just want to beeline the story. You really have to get out of your way to get into the open fields once you get the car going.

This excites me mainly because (J)RPGs pretty much lost me as they became more and more diffuse, Witcher included.

Hey wait, wait wait wait. Where's the Final Fantasy Main Theme in FFXV? I could have sworn it was ALWAYS in the title screen of every game, but what I heard in what little we saw of it that was not the main theme.

I also really appreciate that the daemons are the classic Final Fantasy monsters. Or rather, since I knew that since the Gameinformer article came out, I should say I appreciate how they look. They have a very clear, distinct art style to them to separate them from the normal monsters.

I like how they're specifically the FFV designs, the game Nomura worked as the monster designer on.

If you listen carefully they actually mixed the FF theme into XV's version of Stand By Me @ 1:08 & 2:22

i think this is commonly called the crystal theme or the prelude

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7obre_SBH6o

the final fantasy theme/main theme is the one from the opening titles of ff1 and ff12

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvMVi65XVAQ

aka prologue

FF 1 didn't have an opening title and the intro and remakes played the Prelude, it plays the Prologue when you cross the bridge.

E: And while I haven't listened to the linked version I remember from Uncovered that yeah, it was the Prelude in Stand By Me. A lot easier to integrate simple arpeggios into whatever.

After watching the 53 minute vid it certainly looks like a video game. Nice to see they took the feedback from the Episode Duscae demo to heart and keep reiterating after the Platinum Demo. I'm looking forward to it again despite the delay.

Last week, I was invited to the Netherlands to play the current build of FFXV for five hours.

I have written an article with more in-depth information on a number of things you saw briefly in the video from yesterday, as well as on
some things not seen in the video.

The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt.

Good old Hollywood casting of 30-somethings to be young 20-somethings. (Glad and Ignis, mostly) Ah well.

Yeah, seriously. I can buy Noctis and Prompto being 21-22, but Ignis and Gladiolus really look to be 27-30. And that would make much more sense in the context of them being Noctis's caretakers of sorts.

Unless it's a setting like in Persona games where age is relevant to setting, I ignore the "official" ages on a lot of jrpgs. I used to not notice but I'm 30 now and there's no way Ignis is 22 or whatever.
