I'm guessing the side scrolling prequel game still isn't coming out until the full game is? I just assumed it would be a code for a download you get a game stop when you pick up the game.

Hey what about that phone game? I remember someone listing release dates before but I swear at least Android's was supposed to be by now.

Despite the newest episode being about Ignis (sort of), I came away from it still feeling rather in the dark on the guy. We know the family situation and the past of every character at this point and how that relates to their character, except for that guy. I think he's supposed to be an immigrant from outside Lucis? I'unno.

On the other hand, we got a bigger showing for Noctis and I have to say I'm really liking him as a character. He's sort of a spoiled, messy little poo poo who tries to reject the burdens of the royalty and its duties, but he's not rejecting it because he's a spoiled little poo poo, ignorant of the world - he's doing it because he is aware and knows exactly what his dad is doing, what he will have to do, and see how it's quickly destroying his dad, who he dearly loves. He's both proud of his dad for being the king and his accomplishments and of what he is doing, while simultaneously hating the fact that his dad is king and tries to distance himself from him just so that he can't see his dad just getting worse and worse. Noctis just wants to be a normal kid with a mom and dad.

I hope swimsuit DLC comes with the photo mode patch then. It makes awkward cutscenes so much better.

Does anyone plan to see Kingsglaive at the NYC AMC Empire 25 today? Can't see until tomorrow but I bought two tickets preemptively for 7:35 PM. Can provide the QR code and order confirmation think the kiosk accepts order confirmation number (not sure if you need anything else). If anyone wants to try using this PM me and I'll send a screenshot and scan of what I have (not sure about the logistics of this so I apologize if it doesn't work out).

“The entire game structure for Final Fantasy XV consists of both open-world and linear parts,” said Tabata. “The first half keeps going as an open-world, but the story in the second half’s is led by a linear path. That way, you won’t get bored of an open-world as the rest of the game gets tightened up, so we made it in a way that you’ll also get to advance through it as you have in conventional Final Fantasy games. If you play through the first half and only the main route of the second half, I believe the estimated play-time sits at around 40 to 50 hours.”

Yay, hopefully. I feel better reading that it does gain structure.

Sure, what the hell, as long as there's structure.

My most optimistic hope for this game is that it feels like a finished, coherent product and not a shambling Frankenstein's monster of CGI and flashbacks.

that structure sounds amazing and is literally what I've wanted from an open world game, word for word, since the genre was popularized

I'd like to stress what he says here:

"If you play through the first half and only the main route of the second half, I believe the estimated play-time sits at around 40 to 50 hours."

So it doesn't stop having optional side content.

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.

I feel the meaning is that the first half of the game is more open form "Quest for the Tombs and power up Noctis, while also following Luna's leads." And then presumably at the mid-game, You'll have all the weapons and met up with Luna and then you're given very clear destinations.
