Final Fantasy XV

57 days left. It still seems like a long time. I guess you have to put it in perspective. It's been around 3700 days since Final Fantasy Versus XIII was announced at E3 almost 10 years ago. 57 day still seems so long.

So when do I get to go on tour with my boyband?
I mean 57 days, sure. But when do I get to the groupies.

first stop

I'm fully expecting the game to sell millions and be garbage.

X 2, 12, 13, and 14 were all massive disappointments.

What makes anyone think this won't just be more of the same?

Because it's not made by the people that made those games, and most of what we've seen looks really good, even all the side stuff like the anime and movie have been getting a ton of positive reception.

Still looking forward to it.
Thinking about preordering it just so I'm guaranteed a copy.

>company shits out numerous disappointing games in a row
>their next one has been in development hell for 10 years
>there has literally never been a good game come out from dev hell.

Color me excited boys!!

It's not made by those people, XV only started full dev in 2012, Mother 3.

Might as well say that because Other M was shit that means the new Zelda will be shit.

>hundreds of anons died while waiting for this game to come out
I'll try my best to enjoy this game even if it ends up being a bad game, just for their sake

The new zelda will be shit but that's because the last three zeldas were shit.

I just don't get it. How can you genuinely be excited about a product that is 95% confirmed to be garbage? Or do you not see how a string of disappointing games is only ever followed by more disappointing games?

Have you ever seen a series turn around after 3 or 4 bad games?

The Japanese voice actor for Iedolas also died a while back too. We still don't know if he finished his voice recording or if they had to get a new VA for him.

I hope this game bombs as hard as The Order 1886.

„FF XV“ started as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, a sidestory game of Final Fantasy XIII with 3rd person action combat, and probably due to the high amount of money they've already spent on the game somewhere during development, Square Enix had to change its name to "Final Fantasy XV" eventually.

Somehow, Square Enix let Nomura reign free with his vision of the game for 10 years. They should have canceled the game 7 years ago, when they realized their vision was heading into the wrong direction and started a new Final Fantasy mainline title from scratch.

By changing the name, trying to make it open world, changing the battle system to 1 button QTE bullshit as well as changing the main hero cast to a kpop fuccboi fantasy group, Square Enix effectively threw the franchises identity away and gave all those millios of core Final Fantasy fans who just wanted them to get back to their roots a big middle finger.

Final Fantasy XV, this failed experiment of an open world game - some might even call it an abomination or bastardisation of the Final Fantasy Franchise - simply doesn't deserve any success!

Sqaure Enix deserves a huge failure with FFXV for completely fucking over their fanbase by fundamentally changing what a Final Fantasy mainline title is supposed to be deep down: A JRPG instead of a half-assed, badly-executed "mee too" 3rd person fuckboi fantasy action game.

FUCK OFF Square Enix!

>The new zelda will be shit but that's because the last three zeldas were shit.
That's not the argument. And the Zelda games are all made by the same team. FF games are not. FFXV is not made by the people who made FF14, 13, 12, 11, 10.

>t. How can you genuinely be excited about a product that is 95% confirmed to be garbage? O
I've played the demos and they were great, I've seen the trailers and it looks great, I've seen the anime episodes and they are great, Kingsglaive has also been getting a ton of positive reviews and everything we've seen of it looks great.

You just sound mad that people are genuinely excited for a good game.

I envy you guys being so excited for this game. The last game I was hyped for was MGSV. I hope your game is at least finished :/

we do know, he has been replaced by Iizuka Shouzou.

Okay. I'll bite. You keep saying it's not the same people making this game.

So, what have this group of people made for me to judge their capability?

And for the record I'm mad that ff died, not that "people are going to enjoy a good game."

Oh boy the copy pasta is here.

That's in the movie, because obviously Shinji Ogawa couldn't record lines for the movie. Luna's VA is also different in the movie to the game.

>hype up game for 10 years
>play for 100 hours, 90 of which will be running around empty fields doing errand quests

Will square-enix fans ever, ever learn at this point? Do you think they get off from disappointment?

I'd like to see Ignis battling with just the shirt, looks cool as fuck without the jacket.

>So, what have this group of people made for me to judge their capability?

It's the KH1/2 team which is also comprised of people from FF6, 7, 8, people from the Type-0 team, the Luminous engine team and fresh blood.

>And for the record I'm mad that ff died
Yeah that never happened.

Go away antikun.

Nigger he died before episode duscae released, there is 2% chance that he had recorded all his lines back then.

Almost all male characters in FF always looked like fagmasters, why are people complaining now?

They started voice casting as early as 2011, and had been recording since at least 2013.

because you're literally as bad as the sjws if you accept these blatantly gay characters

That does bring me the tiniest amount of hope but kh 2 was a step up in some game play aspects and huge steps down storytelling wise.

I don't really understand how it's got people from old ffs while simultaneously not having people from new ffs. Doesn't make any sense unless they were let go and then they snagged them back up once they realized they were making shifty games (which would again raise my confidence level)

But for you to claim that ff didn't die when 10 2, 12, 13, 13-2, 13-3, and 14 were all awful games, makes me question your ability to think straight.

And the story changed twice since 2011.
Don't bother writing your fanfic about the story changing in 2012, nobody gives a shit. Ogawa won't voice Iedolas in game, get over it.

SE is split up.

The FF10 team became the FF13 team and they are now in Business Division 1, this is where Kitase and Toriyama are, BD1 are making FF7R with CC2.

FFXV is being made by Business Division 2 which is the KH1/2 team mixed with Type-0 and Luminous engine. Yusuke Naora who was art director on 7,8,10 an did the backgrounds on 6 is art director on XV, Kamikokryo who was art director on 12 and did backgrounds on 10 is the world art director on XV, the KH monster design Hasegawa is handling monsters in XV, the combat planners are from KH2, world map guy actually came from Parasite Eve and Resident Evil. Then obviously Nomura who was from as early as 5, doing the base story plus characters and world on XV before he left, Nojima who was writer on 7 and 8 also doing the script, although slightly modified now. Bunch of others those were just the ones I could remember.

The wait is killing me. I can't bring myself to play other games but I might just play all the FFs again. Here was my idea on how to play them
FFl+ll GBA
FFlll DS
FFIV, V, VI GBA
FFVII ps1
FFVIII ps1
FFIX ps1
FFX HD
FFXII Zodiac
FFXIII Ps3

Any suggestions on what FF version I should change or am I good? I never paid attention to the difference between the snes, gba, psp, etc versions so I don't know what people consider the best.

You could try FFVIII on PC. I played it on PC and compared to PS1 it looked significantly better. Just make sure to mod the original soundtrack in.

Alright cunt. You've given me a tiny amount of hope. I'm not buying it on release but I'll be checking into it.

Just answer why you say ff never died when there was such a massive string of awful games?

>And the story changed twice since 2011.
You mean once, and yes it was only in 2012 when the change happened, not sure why you are in denial about that.

>Ogawa won't voice Iedolas in game
One of the Persona 5 characters is voiced by someone who died in 2015 and they are still using those voice. It's not ruled out that Ogawa did his voice recording.

Better graphics.

>Just make sure to mod the original soundtrack in
What's wrong with it? I heard something a while back about midi files but that was about FFVII.

When this game was announced I was still in Middle School god damn

>get to play XV next month
>finish Uni literally the day before it's out
>new phone coming in Oct
>new car in Nov

h y p e

if you can, play the psp version of 1 and 2. absolutely gorgeous

So is anyone actually looking forward to Kingsglaive

I was in 6th grade.
I'm 22 now.

fucking youngfags

Ok one thing I do know is that the PsP version of IV was too easy. I+II don't have that problem, do they?

>I need to trek an hour away to see it in a filthy theater with a bunch of balding, smelly weebs in order to not pay $15 for a digital copy

It was the same deal with FFVIII but modding the soundtrack in is really straightforward. I have the Steam version of FFVII and the soundtrack is fine and doesn't need modding. In fact you might want to try FFVII on PC as well now that I think about it.

I guess people cared so much about FFVII that they never bothered to sort out the Steam version of FFVIII

GOTY

this game is the most boring looking game i have ever seen in my life.

...

This game looks so comfy.

>everyone sperging over Cidney
>not sexy af Ignis in the background without his jacket

Gay.

>Day one edition
>Season pass

I'm buying it used for $20 if I even bother buying it in the first place.

Antikun still going huh.

Can Square be any more creatively bankrupt.

How do the Moogles in XV look like?

Can you be a more obvious samefag?

I would be but I can't watch it in theaters.
Only watching it at home will probably hinder my enjoyment a bit

We haven't seen the living ones yet but we could see a moogle toy in Cidney's truck from the demo. They look like a mix of FF14 and Type-0 moogles, that is if the actual living moogles look like Cidney's toy moogle.

How can anyone actually be hyped for this after the demo showcased the god awful combat?

Yes, heard lots of good things. Wish it was playing in my country, but I guess I'll just wait for the digital release since that's only a week later.

If there was anything Type-0 did right, it was how cute they made the Moogles.

Kingdom Hearts still has the cutest Moogles, though.

Can someone loop this so we only see the Ignis part? Cidney's flat ass is getting in the way of best boy.

...

>Yes, heard lots of good things.
Woah, really? Huh, I wasn't expecting that at all.

Combat was improved.

Mat was just playing like shit which he said himself.

>Final """Fantasy"""""
>Cast is nothing but humans

>Matt

I dont watch your little youtube celebrities user.

>improved

Half of the battle is scripted shit.

It's based on reality ;)

The reality that there are faggots who actually dress like this and style their hair this way.

This
I'm spoiled by the Xenoblade games. They had such interesting locations, especially the first game.

Reminds me of this.

>Giant sky ships
>Teleporting all over the place
>magic

Come on at least throw me a fucking robot or something. I don't want to play Back Street Boys: The game

thanks senpai.

So just like FF1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, Tactics, Type-0 and others.

Why the overwhelming majority of FF MCs are blue eyed?

I mean, blue eyes are cool, but it's weird that the have this fixation. I guess they're tired of the same hair and eye colour they have in Japan.

I am
Two webms got me fucking pumped to see it.

And the other half is improved and fun to play

Nothing in that webm was scripted since those were regular enemies with regular combat, and no shit the actual giant boss fight has scripted elements, show me a single giant boss fight that doesn't.

Then don't. I'm not.

This game is for the clinically retarded people who like Kingdom Hearts but think it is the Disney parts that make it childish and not the cringe inducing Japanese characters and storytelling.

Huh.

daily reminder a woman plays better then matt lol.

There is robots, they are enemies.

I'm so fucking disappointed in XII. Give me a lizard bro damn it.

We keep seeing the robots and they're getting boring in my opinion.

Japs are massive germaboos

Mat's a fucking idiot and need to stick to the Marketing Department.

we have seen like 20 non robotic monsters with a huge list of monsters we have not seen as well.

Yeah Sahagins and Gianttoads were listed, lots of others

Not him, and I love the robots.

But I wish that the regular soldiers were human (at least the non-green faced ones).

They hadn't been human since 2011 anyway, they didn't bleed in that footage and also they exploded when they were beaten. 2011 was the first trailer to confirm magitek was a thing in the game so it probably got changed around then.

Turning the enemy soldiers into tin cans was such a copout.

>huehue let's make a dark story about guys fighting a war!
>b-but they can't actually kill anyone so let's make all the enemy's robots!

They should've stuck with the idea from the original trailer with Noct going ham on live soldiers.

>mfw despite all the hates on Sup Forums I am actually looking forward to this game, I just want to walk, drive or ride a chocobo and explore the world.
feels comfy man

Nope. Best you get are skin diseased, dragon people.

See

>Yoko doing the music
I'm still hyped

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I'm not even that autistic about Versus (much less the initial video), but I always liked the blood and the neck-snapping (which I guess could still be done, but...)

Maybe I haven't seen them all but I'm only interested in four enemies right now and that's behemoths, goblins, what I think is a Naga, and the bird in the latest trailer. Everything else looks meh. I know they're classic monsters because I recognize them but they look a little boring in 3D.

Fill'er up!

I think it was to greater contrast that Niflheim is an empire of mechs while Lucis is a kingdom of Magic. At the very least everyone captain rank and above from Niflheim is human.

Yes it was confirmed this is Naga.

I hate how I preordered the deluxe edition and then the season pass was announced.

Pretty sure they bled blue in those trailers, so it suggests that they were toying with the idea of live soldiers still atleast.

>magitek

I'm annoyed that Lucis went from being the most advanced city in the world to "lol nevermind Niflheim has magitek get fucked" Some of the technology from Lucis looked more advanced before too. They had cool phones/communicators with holographic looking projections coming out of it. Now they just use regular looking iphones.

you can get that separate can't you?
