If you go to Gamestop's website without adblocker you see a big ad for FFXV and it says it's for PC. Hope they actually announce that soon.

Looks like the first FF game to be worth a drat since 7. I'm sorta pumped.

I'm a real rear end in a top hat about English voice acting so I hope the quality of the first demo isn't too indicative of the final product

Specifically everyone except Noctis sounded like a cartoon pro wrestling version of themselves. I know it's a ridiculous anime game, and that their characters are an exaggerated one note for a good reason, but you gotta tone that poo poo down in English man unless you want to be one of these dubs where the girls are making these implausibly high pitched high energy voices like they're trying to match the Japanese counterpart as opposed to translating it for a different culture

Actually 9, 10, 10-2, 14 (if you like that sort of thing) and Lightning Returns are all worth a drat, also a bunch of spin offs since 7 came out 20 years ago.

Not really, goon sir, not really.






haha, that japanese trailer is weirdly edited. The entire first third is the standard emotional japanese jibberjabber with clenched fists and "ITS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY DAD!!" followed by boilerplate latin chanting



the last part of the trailer isn't half bad, except for the chocobo warbling of Florence's voice

I can't put my finger on it, but I really don't like the combat in this game. Hold O and fall asleep. And I'm that guy who liked 11 and 13's combat systems :smith:

I feel like if Lightning Returns is any indication the combat is actually going to be Really Good with the "hold down button to consume ATB and attack" method of combat.

Honestly, the japanese voice acting seems pretty bad itself; over the top arguments and melodrama. I'm actually cool with pro wrestler stereotype voices

It's weird being mildly interested in Final Fantasy again after two decades of disappointment.

Or to put it another way: We're now at a point in the series where an anime road trip sounds like a step in the right direction.

Hey, so the game wiki says FF15 is part of Fabula Nova Crystallis, which is a subseries containing all the FF13s. Should I be worried? Will I need to know what happened in the FF13s?

There's FFXIII music on YouTube.
I want fresh Lightning.

Which video was the one with the flying car, anyway? I didn't catch that bit when I watched them earlier. I don't have access to a PS4 to play the demo right now.

It started as vs 13, which was Fabula Nova Cystallis, but it isn't anymore so no, you won't.

The flying car was at the tail end of the final trailer at the end of the event.

Which was a pretty amazing reveal just for being something they kept secret until now.

The japanese Uncovered trailer with english subtitles. It's not as good as the english Reclaim Your Throne trailer, but it shows more general docile world stuff.

Just finished the demo, and was there any point in the game that managed to hit 30 FPS? For a tech demo, it sure was a slog. Not much voice acting in it, but looks like I'll be able to switch between languages whenever I want anyway.

Yeah the demo was super sluggish both in framerate and in gameplay. Really pretty game but it's hard to appreciate it when the frames are chugging along.

I'm not sure why the combat feels so slow and unresponsive considering how much time they've spent perfecting the formula in the Kingdom Hearts games. BBS/DDD feel so much more fluid in comparison to this demo, kinda disappointing, if not too surprising.

Timespan between the release of Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy VII = 3,332 days.

Timespan between the announcement of Final Fantasy XV (formerly known as Versus XIII) and its release date = 3,798 days.

The guy who posted that huge PS4.5k detail leak said they were optimistically aiming for Q1 2017 for it, so I think this is doubtful.
