MMOs exist in some parallel reality for me- I've vaguely aware of their existence but I can't fully comprehend them.

Potions being treated like normal energy drinks but turned into healing items because of noctis"s powers is a really cool idea.

Seems like Square has really turned it around since FF 14 1.0 and FF13/13-2. I'm pretty drat excited about 15, and 14 is continuing to be pretty fun and interesting. I'm glad they're out of the loving trench.

13-2 was good, comparatively speaking - and also mostly developed by Tri-Ace. Lightning Returns was Square-Enix again, and it was awful.

The 13 series only gets better as it carries on and has a legit good game by the end. :colbert:

God the more I watch the gameplay the more I feel like Prompto's writing is 50% Michelangelo and 50% Sonic Adventure 2. It's charming.

Although the closer we get to the release the less I'm ready to just throw money at the game. I'm pretty concerned about the lasting appeal of the combat system.

It only needs to last for like 50 hours or whatever.

It was detailed somewhere.

It's two quest misc quest packs and three episodes, each focusing on a party member iirc.

Q: What did you like the most about FFXV's development?

Tabata: Finishing the game! And knowing that I will be able to play Civilization 6 now!

Congratulations, team. :toot:

There's gonna be a big livestream tomorrow with new info and probably a more official reveal that the game is done.

I can't say if the game gives you cancer, I just want to warn you to perhaps check your medical insurance before you play it.

I'm surprised he wants to play Civ6.

I mean play a PC game....in JAPAN 2016??

Also wasn't he all "Man I can't wait to spend time with my daughter" which made me feel real bad but then hes like "Oh no, screw you girl, Civ6"

Yeah, this is the first time I've been intrigued by the over-arching plot. Buddy road trip and the battle system and exploring had sold me on it, but will be great if the narrative beyond the four main dudes holds up its end of the bargain as well.

EDIT: Also is it just me or did that trailer imply the crystal itself is the real true secret villain?

Final Fantasy XV: Where the Fairy Flies

Anyway for those who didn't read the description, pretty much none of what happened in the trailer are things that will actually happen in-game; it was a vision of a possible future Regis had. A what-if of the burdens Noctis would have to face if he went out alone instead of having his ~nakama~ with him.
