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.

My issue with XIV's soundtrack is that I don't forsee myself playing the game, and as far as checking out OSTs goes there are a bunch of different ones and I don't know where to start. :saddowns:

Shimomura's work is good, but only having recently discovered and played Live a Live, her more recent stuff now seems relatively samey. Or maybe that's because it's mostly for the same series but the music in Uncovered and Platinum Demo certainly fit in.

It's mid-August, the game's probably in post-production by now. Game development isn't a case of working until the last minute and then hitting the publish button. Could they delay it, even if they wanted to? And what would they delay for at this stage of development anyway, two extra months of QA?

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.

Just wondering how much impact changing directors a number of times over a decade is going to impact the cohesiveness of final product.

It changed directors once, and by all accounts the first did basically no work.

I mean they already delayed the game two months to apply the day one patch for the sake of users without internet, in Tabata's own (admittedly paraphrased) words "to deliver to best possible game to everyone", they're not gonna then turn around and screw over what could well be a majority of players.

FFXV's Moogle is an item!

It's a "lucky item" in the form of a plush toy that somehow helps Noct's party out when they're in a pinch. To me that sounds like a summon, but otherwise we're without actual living Moogles in the game. Huh.

E: To clarify I'm summarising, not translating.

Final Fantasy XV's moogle is an item! In Final Fantasy XV, the moogle appears as a "Lucky Item"! (Carry a moogle plush doll in your inventory as you walk, like a charm,) and believe in its ability to help you evade all crises and difficulties. It might be able to save Noctis and company when they are in a pinch?!

They're talking about wait mode, which isn't really a seperate combat system, just an option for the game to pause so you can think through each attack if you're not so good at the whole action thing.

I don't know if this is true of digital copies, but if you go to play the game while 1.02 is installing you can play a combat demo, basically the end of Platinum but with infinite Goblins instead of the Iron Giant. It's fun enough, and I wish more games gave you at least something to do while waiting like this.

Can someone explain, in detail, how to make magic? I'm juuuust starting the game and I tried to make a spell and for whatever retarded reason I can't get it to work. I select the spell component (ice) at like 1x, any random thing in the bottom slot (a potion, say) and then.... what? None of the buttons seem to actually create it. I have a free slot so I don't know wtf.

"Craft" is hiding a bit below all that, press down from the lowermost circle. If not, I don't know what to tell you, because it worked for me and all the other steps sound the same.

Is there some trigger for the extra scenes? I've only gotten one (Ignis) and can't figure out how to get any others, not sure if they're gated behind plot locks, specific campsites, or if it's just a low chance.

It might be location, I got one with Gladio that hinged on proximity to the beach.
