Woww, they are shipping the fuck out of Iris X Noctis

in b4 "WHAT AM I FIGHTING FORRRRR"

i hope in the future they will just keep making more Final Fantasy games. Not spin-offs. Not remasters. Not MMOS. They need to stop fucking around with this fan service shit. It's not funny anymore.

Not to harsh your cool, but FF's been kinda dead since Sakaguchi's left the throne and to where Yasumi Matsuno failed to conquer all opposition when he was making XII.

All I'm doing these days is venting anger out on Yoichi Wada for fucking everything up and realizing there will never be another Mana game again.

...

I get that 2 extra months won't make the game perfect, but realistically what could they even do with that time to fix this game?

This makes me hate life

Do chink girls really move their arms like that when they complain about something?

Nothing. They will fix the bugs people talked about and then fix more bugs.

What is it with this game and having metros and traps?

I can't tell if FFXV is in a fantasy setting or not
how come I don't see glaceons in backpacks anymore

Yes, and the best part is they do it because they see it in media, not because that is how they naturally act.

I need sause.

Depending on where that was written, I can accept or dismiss it.

It's not limited to asian girls. A lot of girls will do this because they see it on their drama shows, and they take those as if everything presented is scientific fact.

>The world does seem large but it also feels quite segmented, it's very obvious if you picked a direction at random it wouldn't be long before you'd hit an impassable wall/cliff. Especially in the starting desert area.
>Florence's Stand By Me cover was playing on the pause screen (options, load, save etc not the equipment/skills screen)
>Prompto uses the phrase "totes adorbs" at one point. How about that millennial chutzpah.
>The guys find out about the invasion of Insomnia by reading the morning newspaper. This is really lame. In relation to where they are at the point, Insomnia is essentially just over a nearby hill, it is hard to believe they wouldn't have heard or seen any signs of an invading army going by. I wasn't invested enough in the guys, Noctis, Insomnia, Regis or their quest at this point so this rather pivotal scene lacked impact.
>The giant bird monsters called 'hurricanes' are cool although the aliasing on their wings is intense.
>The driving is very much on rails. If you just hold R2 and turn at the right time you'll be set. I tried forcing the Regalia off the road but it just kinda guides you back into place. It feels very clunky and slow as a result. If I end up playing this I'll more than likely be letting Ignis drive so I can look around.
>It doesn't take long for Noctis to get super angsty. One scene with Cor in a royal tomb sees him chuck a real tantrum: "What was my father thinking! What good am I! What did he expect me to do! I'm no king! etc. Eye-rolling stuff, couldn't dislike it more.
>This dude was in the third dungeon and was pretty tough. He kept one-shotting everyone with his quick slashes, the only way I avoided that was by doing the block parry thing. Basically hold square then quickly press circle when the prompt comes up. It was very frustrating having no control over my party and so they kept dying.

>After you see Insomnia has fallen with your own eyes, you have to meet up with Cor, who tells you about the tombs, then you have to get to Lestallum to check on Iris and find another tomb. That was essentially the narrative of the first four hours.
>Cor only joins the party for like 5 minutes max, between two Royal Tombs. Then he rocks up for a bit when you take on an imperial checkpoint on the way to Duscae.
>Cor and your friends all make a big deal about how far away Lestallum is and how you better fill up the tank etc. It was under 2 miles away, which admittedly was the longest drive I did in that session, but it was still weird. Also to get to the third tomb from Lestallum was an even longer drive and they made no mention of that fact. Perhaps nitpicky, but it took me out of it.
>Lestallum looks pretty cool aesthetically but it lacks soul. NPCs are lifeless, wandering around not saying anything, music was repetitive and the ambient sounds of a crowd felt out of place. Compared to the Witcher (I know people are probably sick of this comparison), its incredibly dull. Felt more like a town from Xenoblade in terms of dynamism.
>When you arrive Iris takes you on a tour which was a nice way to see the whole place but she herself isn't much of a character. She's very 'oh this is kinda like a date huh Noctis, tee hee'.
>Combat reminded me of Dragon's Dogma but also of action adventure games like Bayonetta etc. I'm not saying it was as good as either of those games, just that it's similar fundamentally. Combat could be confusing though, the warp strike wouldn't always lock on to where I wanted it to, which was possibly something I was doing wrong. Targetting in general felt a bit iffy.

no I mean site, forum

depending on who it is i know them that well

or not

either way, good or bad, time to feast on the banquet that is FFXV

why no I haven't preordered yet

>Loading times varied from standard fare for an open world game on PS4, to between 1-2 minutes. These longer ones seemed to only happen between chapters, and when loading the game up from scratch.
>After around 2 hours and 40 minutes the game crashed. Just the one and only back to the dashboard.
>The game does not look good. I was sitting fairly close to a pretty big TV, but even forgetting that there's intense shadow dithering, aliasing to the high heavens (you've all seen the hair), texture and vegetation pop-in and on top of that the frame rate was incredibly inconsistent. I kinda just got used to the combat being a bit of a mess visually. It was often hard to tell what in the hell was happening.
>Moving the camera around somehow makes things worse.
>It's perhaps not the best way to explain this due to the size of this shot but I'd like to draw your attention to the shrubs in the upper left corner of this screen. When blown up to a decently sized TV, even at this close distance, those shrubs looked like sprites from Minecraft/Stardew Valley, and I swear I'm not being hyperbolic.
>Also I tried driving in 1st person and there was some bug (I can only assume) where everything looked pixellated and low-res when looking through the windscreen. Needless to say I refrained from using 1st person after that.

It's from Neogaf.

youtube.com/watch?v=TZDKz0T61tA

How much do these people get paid to shill this shit?

Neogaf

Wow, that's a definite maybe. Mostly because Neogaf is more faggotry than it presents itself as, but I will take their word with a grain of salt.

If they're wrong about this though I hope their community gets taken down for all that it's worth though.

>the car is not controllable

lol i sincerely hope this is not true

its like they got cold feet on the open world stuff but didnt want to redesign everything

AHahahahaha, wow

Angryjoe got a pay day?

Well at least he's doing more than Lardass and friends

Still, I wouldn't take Angry Joe as fact, even if he praises it.

It's the positive you take with a grain of salt.

The negative is either completely true or slightly exaggerated because you'd get banned shitting on a game like we do here on Sup Forums.

That guy is a journalist though with good opinions and makes fun of shills.

It's true. Tons of people played the game.

It is, but it's pretty on rails so you can't do much. There probably won't be just highways and streets to drive on though.

So there's a flying car, but the car is on rails when driving on the ground?

Why do I get the feeling the flying car is also on rails and that you simply select a destination and watch it fly?

>There probably won't be just highways and streets to drive on though.
That's all there is.

The flying car isn't on rails.
youtube.com/watch?v=bW4aTxpT-48

It can only land on roads.

THAT thing is a level 8 flan?

You still manually control it when it flies. There are also optional areas you can only reach by flying.

It's behind Noctis.

Option to be with Iris instead of Luna please?

These character animations are cancer.

Jesus fucking christ

Man, I dunno, I think I'm going to be greatly disappointed too, but I've waited so long for this game that I just feel like I need to play it and experience it for myself. Even if I hate it, I'll hate it because I actually played it.

Probably makes more sense in my head.

The parts about combat are wrong and the ones about exploration opinions.
Driving is pretty shit tho

neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1267983

Found it

Whats the best place to buy this game for the most content for day 1? PSN store?

>neogaf

He's right about combat though.

Not really. Some girls sure, but its a very specific kind of girl. Like the kind who watch way too much casual garbage like dramas on TV, spend hours putting on makeup (even on the train), and are only concerned with looking cute to guys/trying too hard to get a boyfriend. But I live in Tokyo for example and there are many kinds of girls here (just like humans anywhere else), so no not all girls act like that.

He was in a car accident during the production of XII. That's why Bosch wasn't the main character…

For people who watched Kingsglaive, help me with a question.

what was the girl supposed to be doing, and why did she get killed?

I notice in anime and games in general people tend to emote a lot psychically.

I think it's just a Noh or Kabuki thing that just wormed it's way into mass media

Literally every press site and other people that played it said none of that.

it's free movement once you upgrade it to fly.

Flying is free movement. They probably wanted to emphasize the difference between flying and driving so it's more restricted on ground.

kek

wheres that from?

cute af

So how was Kingslaive anyway? Was it really worth that 8% on Rotten Tomatoes?

I'm getting the sense that Square really should have fucking downsized this game a bit. Did it really need an anime and a fucking movie?

why would he praise it if he was angry about it?

Been hearing more than one people say that as a movie on its own it's not that good and characterization is weak, but as a Final Fantasy movie and as a 2 hour intro for a game it's the tightest shit

she was supposed to kidnap the Princess but the King kind of sent her on a suicide mission because most of the Glaives were traitors

it only has 13 reviews, RT shit is flawed

it's an 8.2/10

Other 'people' have, press sites are nothing but apologetic hype mongering.

kek that's great

I've known a lot of girls that do that..

Prompto gets a lot of shit but he's actually pretty cool

Is he still a fugitive in the story or was that part of Versus?

4/10

It's boring to be honest. Scenes
go nowhere, and the action is extremely choppy.

that idea is long gone

>franchise
Stop using marketing terms you fuckwits. Also FYI all the FF creators are long gone, it's literal fan fiction now.

He's utterly a faggot now. There's nothing cool about him in XV.

>black loading screen when exit the car
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

>Also FYI all the FF creators are long gone

saggygooch is returning to se

>press site
you mean "journalists" paid off

>redefinition

That's a weird way to say death.

No he isn't. He's working on a console Terra Battle or some shit

Don't worry too much about it 90% of the previews on FFXV are positive.
It's written on neogaf by a guy how played the gamescom build. Nothing is liked by everyone.
>I've waited so long for this game
No you didn't, you wanted to play the game but you didn't spend the last 10 years waiting for FFv13.
Or you know, people could have different opinions and they might just like the game. This is the only completely negative impression from neogaf. Most impressions ended with something like "I enjoyed my time with FFXV"

No.

He was never a fugitive. That was completely made up that was never officially stated.

>You've been waiting for Final Fantasy XV for 10 years
>You were likely still in High School, or perhaps even younger, when Final Fantasy XV was announced
>If current screenshots/footage/information is anything to go on, it will be a colossal disappointment
>You will have wasted a decade of your life - no small amount of time, considering the average human lifespan - waiting for a game that will likely bring only despair
I'm finished.

Neogaf members are literary discount Movie critic, which those are also considered discount Theater critics.

Don't get me wrong; I am not even going to play this game, it looks outright disgusting. However, that doesn't change the fact that everyone on that website is seemingly an expert in vidya cause "I play a lot of vidya, so I know a good from the bad" , everyone I talked too loved playing the game last week at Gamescom. Everymotherfucker on that website is an attention whore and would do anything to be so. People there did the same to a shit-load of games: The Witcher 3, Civilization 5, and Overwatch, and all turned to be great games. Now they are trying their best with this game and The Last Guradian. Mind you; non of these are even remotely interested in said games, but if they get the chance, just destroy all hopes and dream, cause just that shitting gives them attention. See pic related is being used in Sup Forums now.

NeoGAF is a shit website, with the most self-centered, arrogant, high-horse, "Games are Art", nu-male, and just the shittiest people all around. I say this as a person who wasted his life checking that website for 5 fucking years daily.

>tfw the recently released 52 minutes gameplay footage was great and my 10 years of waiting will most likely been worth it

Also i can't see which image i'm selecting so i'm hoping i picked something good

DELETE THIS

>Did it really need an anime and a fucking movie?

Every game from Japan gets an 1 OVA anime episode. Persona 5, Tales of, Gravity Rush. As for the movie; While it was okay, a directors cut would do wonders, i swear.

...

He isn't.

But Tabata said "We will fix the bugs that are effecting the games visuals" at the IGN gamescom video.

Stop talking from your ass, this didn't even add the day one patch.

fuck off retard

Okay, so a WILD guess here, but hear me out:

What if the Day-1 Patch wasn't actually a patch, but a huge chunk of the game improvements that was supposed to be on disk?

>b-but they'll patch it!
Is this what I waited 10 years for?

He did say in another interview that the first areas are okay and it's mostly the later areas that has a lot of bugs
Maybe Leide and Duscae will look better but i'm not expecting much difference which i'm okay with

>You've been waiting for Final Fantasy XV for 10 years
Nope
>You were likely still in High School, or perhaps even younger, when Final Fantasy XV was announced
Nope
>If current screenshots/footage/information is anything to go on, it will be a colossal disappointment
It's hilarious.
>You will have wasted a decade of your life - no small amount of time, considering the average human lifespan - waiting for a game that will likely bring only despair
Anyone who did is retarded. No game that takes this long to make is good.

That person is a journalist with good opinions.

Sorry your game is shit.

>journalist
Again, can't see the image

You don't just sit down one day and decide "I'm going to hype this game for the next epoch of my life." It just happens.

Months turn to years, years to decades, et cetera. In the back of your mind, there's always the gnawing doubt, but then one figures that they can't very will give up now.

Gay game with gay characters for gay boys.

You don't know anything about game development. This game wasn't so lucky and went through multiple renditions and tons of hard work. It's great now as it is for consoles but plenty of bugs will always creep through, and that's not always the human's fault but it can always be fixed unlike in the past.

>GAF member
>Having good taste.

Let me guess; his GOTY so far is INSIDE, right?

I hope all the stuff I'm hearing is not true. It's worse than I thought, and I already had low expectations. I already knew the world would be bland and empty though.

Nier 2 which he played.

96 days till the shitstorm starts
Can't wait to hear all the bullshit this game pulls

Reading this thread and everyone is expecting the game to be shit, even the people that are hyping it are having doubts.

I seriously wonder what would happen if Square did some black magic come release and the game turned out to get some high review scores. I am more excited for the reactions then actually playing the game.

kek

wheres that from?

>all the top screenshots aside from the 3 on the top left have something Nomura designed in them
Just admit you love the guy and get over it you fucking tsundere
