8-Bit Scholar posted:What I'm hoping is that we get a real return to form with this one, a nice fun good versus evil story with a lot of melodrama, except now it's also attached to an open-world RPG with a lot of systems to be fed into, crafting and cooking and poo poo, so I can spend hours just exploring and hunting rare monsters. In fact, I want the rare monsters system from FF12 brought back wholesale, except it should be easier to trigger monster encounters and less random in general (but not entirely not random.) That is not advisable.

Noctis has 24/7 bed head anyway, the kid would probably fall asleep midway through trying to comb it.

I guess we'll get an official confirmation on Monday but I hope it's not true, especially because of the whole Neo thing. The worst-case scenario would be the game running poorly on the basic PS4 hardware and SE/Sony using that as an excuse to push the Neo model harder.

Blackfyre posted:I'm still waiting for someone to fill me in on what this '4chan leak' was, did someone say it was going to be crap and about the delay and then the delay was confirmed? If so did they describe why it was poor? I never saw the leak myself, but it had a lot to do with the state of development behind the scenes and basically described it as a horrible, disorganized mess similar to FFXIII in its final stages - tons of hastily stitched-together content, exhausted staff, technical problems everywhere, et cetera. And yes, it did confirm at least one of the game's previous delays well in advance.

Mokinokaro posted:I don't think it looks THAT bad, but you can tell they've made some compromises to have the wide open world. Characters still look pretty great outside of a some goofy designs but those are par for the course for the series. It took a pretty nasty hit even compared to the Duscae demo with its lack of aliasing. Mostly textures and pop-in issues.

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.

Statistics aside, the patch excuse almost definitely is a hasty cover-up for poor performance in the game's final stretch. Two months also likely won't be enough to fix all but the very worst of it, so launch day should be interesting for everybody.

Black Mage Knight posted:You know, Tabata has been refreshingly open about the development and delays the game has been getting, what with him openly saying that the framerate was not up to snuff. If Noctis turns out anything like the way he's been characterized in Brotherhood he's on the fast track to becoming one of my favorite FF leads. He's broody without being obnoxious about it, since he's really just awful at expressing himself and prefers to keep his mouth shut rather than risk making a fool of himself, he's not an rear end to the people around him, and I never get bored of his narcolepsy. In the latest episode I cracked up when the gang checked into a hotel room and Noctis was already curled up in bed, under the covers and fully dressed, before the others even got to comment on the drapes.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:I don't get how you can not enjoy Platinum. It's playful, it shows off the power of the engine and it shows off a good amount of combat with and without teleporting. It runs like a raisin skin superglued to a rotted plank and most of the finer points of the combat system aren't explained. I went through it once and put it away for good because I still wanted to look forward to the full game. On the other hand, if you challenge the Level 30 Iron Giant then Carbuncle literally texts you with a chocobo version of

Finished Kingsglaive. Actually didn't find it that bad. The editing was a trainwreck, character motivations were insipid and it's obvious that large chunks of the plot were chopped out, especially nearly everything regarding Libertus in the game's second act, but I was still genuinely engaged at points. It's nice how the peace treaty was such a transparent farce that the King knew it and the Emperor knew he knew it and the King knew he knew he knew it and they were both just waiting for poo poo to pop off so they could see who was left standing at the end. Also reviews were harsh on Lunafreya but she turned in a pretty respectable performance even though Lena Headey was phoning it in. Lady racked up a higher body count than some of the professional soldier men by the end, she's like Yuna done right.

Tae posted:FF7 got a gameplay demo in like under 6 months, it's way ahead of any FF project before Given that the FFXIII and original FFXV "demos" turned out to be sophisticated CG mockups I really don't trust material from SE on that front anymore. Though maybe they've released something else since then, I haven't kept up with FF7R in a while.

Brotherhood was good just for how many humanizing moments it had for Noctis himself. When he forlornly asked how to throw out a burnt frying pan he felt more like an actual person than anyone in the entire FFXIII saga.

Good article. It also sort of bears out Sunning's speculations ages ago regarding Tabata's development shakeup - his first major move was to go "you know all that stuff Japanese game devs traditionally do? Yeah, we're not doing that anymore." Flattening out the hierarchy and re-orienting team messaging to focus on morale above all else seems like a smart move. Guess we'll find out how well it paid off. Also I don't know how significant it was in the grand scheme of things but I do like how the additional delay is justified early in the article by one team member basically saying "we did not slave on this loving thing for so long just to release it unfinished."

FFXV's probably been in development for about three years or so. The prior seven may as well have been filled with games of grab-rear end to the Chicken Dance song for all the good they did.

Terper posted:Noctis. Poor dude just needs a hot mug of cocoa and a blanket. It must have been frustrating to train new staff around the house when Noct was a kid. "Don't let him near a bed. Yes, any bed. Once he gets his head on a pillow it takes the better part of an afternoon to wake him up again. Yesterday his tutor walked across a room to fetch a book and by the time she turned around the boy was already under the covers. Fast asleep. Pajamas on."

As I remember it the only fights that got tediously long were in the final stage, and then they were about 5 minutes each, tops. FF13's combat is still a slog because basic battles still tend to take way too long and it makes the repetition wearying.

Soul Glo posted:Hey, I'm watching Kingsglaive, and I have a question: The empire likes to use monster summons as shock troopers, like what they did with that WEAPON-looking thing in the first big battle. Ultros was one of the summons and would have presumably been air-dropped into the city during their raid.
