Meh. The demo will probably be a version of the game from when it looked like the PS3 game it was.

I think the main reason they are releasing this demo is in order to "buy" some more time (and trust) from fans and journalists in order to continue developing XV for at least another two years.

 

[BrandonS]

Sorry, but I don't think I have the right to point to them specifically. It's still under embargo.

This bothers me, man... people who know all of the stuff but sit back and laugh while people make threads about speculation... makes me feel like, "what's the point?" You know what I mean, bruh?

 

[Trust me. I'm a PhD]

And ya'll had given up hope

Don't automatically assume '2015' means a worldwide release. You may find yourself disappointed...

You are doing the Lord's work, good sir^^ Thank you^^

 

[raven777]

the problem with demo is that it can always backfire.

Some people who were thinking of buying it just because it's FF might try demo and dislike the new combat system and not buy the game..


well I hope the demo is long. FFXIII demo in FFVIIACC was a bit shorter than I expected.

Especially for this game.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Better than the game backfiring.

Wait, Type-0 HD is releasing in March? That's early. I thought it'd take 2-3 years like FFX HD.

Kind of sad about FFXV possibly releasing next year. What are we going to do now that we can't make fun of its vaporware status anymore? Actually play the game?

Oh wait there's still the Last Guardian. nvm

Naw, then we will have heated arguments about the quality of FFXV, and if it lived up to the hype, all the while bemoaning and/or getting hyped for the spin-off sequels for the next 10 years. It is a never ending process.

 

[HeelPower]

As much I am happy about this ,one of side of it really sucks.

If you can't on GameInformer to not leak things then who can you count on ?

They are supposed one of the biggest if not the biggest gaming news outlets.This mistake is embarrassing.They aren't amateurs.

 

[Qvoth]

i just realized it's ff15 and next year is 2015
oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

 

[MilkyOctave]

I wasn't expecting Type-0 HD to be released so soon, but I'd guess it's been in development for quite some time. I'd guess it's better to announce projects when they're close to being finished. Still, it's kind of weird they haven't shown us much despite the release date being so close? Unless it ends up being delayed...

Anyway, the FFXV demo code that comes with it makes it sound like a dream.

What?

I need to read the title again, another 40 times.

This GIF seems appropriate for your reaction

 

[Inuhanyou]

So... why didn't they show the game for over a year then since last E3?

Not that i'm going to go down the same path as that guy, but SE has never been the type to be transparent about their development process...you usually only get to see games when they say so regardless of the actual status of the project...

Considering when they moved it to next gen, i'd assume they would only show the product in an optimal state to their own specifications, and not before.

My main issue with all of that is that for once, after years of silence Nomura blew the lid off of everything last year and then said that it was going to be different from then on. But then it wasn't, and we didn't get transparency at all.

It was most likely a simple act of the author of the article setting the 'auto-publish' timer incorrectly. Anyone can make that mistake.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Wasn't expecting Type-0 until Summer 2015 at the earliest. Good news.

 

[HeelPower]

The hype... the emotions... the excitement... too strong.

don't get me wrong..I love every bit of this..

but it sucks for the professionals (both on SE and GI ends)who are supposed to be involved.

 

[Cachuli]

my god, 2k15 is full of games

 

[Edge_Maverick]

don't get me wrong..I love every bit of this..

I agree with you. For SE it must hurt a lot because they were probably very excited to announce this surprise (possibly with a new trailer, screens and stuff)... but now a lot of people know about it.

Imagine if last year, some site leaked (even if by accident) FFXV/KH 3.

 

[wmlk]

Everyone here should expect more news at 8 PM on September 17.
That's the preset date in the article.

 

[TheTux]

Told you it was a 2015 game!

 

[raven777]

Told you it was a 2015 game!

the demo is, not the actual full game.

 

[sublimit]

Fixed.

 

[Edge_Maverick]

It might be a 2015 game.

For Japan that is. 2016 for the rest of us.

KH3/FFXV was a wild surprise and an amazing moment.(especially KH3 came out of nowhere)

Sure there were tons of rumors floating about but they were just rumors.

But now this is cut and dry confirmation. ;V

 

[duckroll]

Maybe there'll be more surprises tomorrow.

Definitely, i had to read the title several times, because i was sure my brain was playing tricks on me.

How people are regarding SE:

i hate square enix
i hate square enix
i hate square enix
i hate square enix
i hate square enix
i hate square enix
square enix needs to burn
square enix is balls
*FFXV tidbits*
OMG I LOVE SQUARE ENIX OMG OMG OMG BEST COMPANY EVER

Well it's the same with Rockstar Games and their fans.
In the months of silence between trailers it's all "I hate you fuckers, where's the new info?"-- as soon as they release as much as a fart, the comments become the moaning of people crying in pleasure and thanking them for existing.

 

[Famassu]

So... why didn't they show the game for over a year then since last E3?

Well... they have.. kind of. Old trailers with 2 seconds of new footage, but they haven't kept it completely under wraps in hopes that people forget it and have given some comments about how the game's development is advancing. And even though Nomura promised more and it's annoying they haven't, the fact is publishers very rarely show games 12+ months ahead of release. DriveClub & Watch_Dogs also disappeared for the most part after E3/Summer 2013 while they polished those games up and they didn't reappear until relatively late this year and those are games that have a 2014 release. Mostly seems like the PR department/Hashimoto forcing Nomura to shut up again until they think it's the right time. I mean, aren't even gamers being all "the next time you show FFXV, I want a release date and more than just a short trailer, if you can't deliver on that, don't even bother showing it", so they are probably holding off showing it too extensively until they are closer to release.

 

[Munba]

Maybe there'll be more surprises tomorrow.

I think to be in 1997.

Doooc?

 

[Gorillaz]

Wait


This is actually happening

Kagari is this real pls

 

[Edge_Maverick]

KH3/FFXV was a wild surprise and an amazing moment.(especially KH3 came out of nowhere)

Sure there were tons of rumors floating about but they were just rumors.

But now this is cut and dry confirmation. ;V

We knew they were cooking something ("please, please be excited for E3"). Also, Nomura stated that fans pretty much figured out what was going to be announced (that was for FFXV, of course).

But... even with all those hints, the official announcement only came at the Sony Conference. That moment shall not be forgotten.

I know it's a demo we're talking about but come on they can't release a demo and then release a game in 2017.

What I meant is that the game is probably coming late 2015 in Japan and early 2016, just like I expected.

It better release in 2015 worldwide

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I wonder if this will finally be it, like is it really finally happening?

 

[warningjab]

Super excited ! Hurry up 2015!

 

[qualitydisc]

Just want to say that I called this back on August 30.

For once, I am FUCKING EXCITED, Hashimoto.

 

[HeelPower]

But... even with all those hints, the official announcement only came at the Sony Conference. That moment shall not be forgotten.

yeah. far and way the highlight of my gaming(and news following)career.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Btw what streams should we look out for tomorrow regarding SE games ?

 

[vicissitudes]

Naw, then we will have heated arguments about the quality of FFXV, and if it lived up to the hype, all the while bemoaning and/or getting hyped for the spin-off sequels for the next 10 years. It is a never ending process.

Haha that's true. I can see future posts like this:

"FFXV was such a letdown"
"Please stop putting Noctis in every game"
"I swear FFXVI is Square's last chance. If that game doesn't deliver I'm not buying any more of their games"

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

new art for Noctis?

Our final charge.

Gentlemen it has been an honour.

Now after a very long time I just want to sleep.

HOLY FUCKKKK

omg I can't......FFXV playable. Do you mofos know that we could be getting the game by the end of this fucking year now......SE redeemed!

2015 is looking like the best gaming year in history:

Bloodborne
MGSV
Persona 5
FF Type 0 HD
UC4
FFXV

Spoiler

TLG

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

I had to read that thread title a couple of times before opening the thread. Genuinely couldn´t comprehend something playable from FFXV releasing, and then next year.

But hey

 

[Nibel]

Maybe there'll be more surprises tomorrow.

You mean Japanese surprises, right?

 

[sublimit]

They can do that easily.

The way i see it the demo is just a ticket for them to buy some more time and trust from the fans and gaming media in order to continue developing the game for at least another 2 years without having people and media continually complaining "where the fuck is FFXV?"

"We gave you a demo now leave us alone to continue working on the fucking game."

 

[duckroll]

This is probably the only official stream with S-E info tomorrow: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv192598306

It's Sony's stage stuff and it will feature Dragon Quest Heroes at 12pm. First gameplay footage.

S-E's stage events don't start until Friday, where they will be streaming the Bravely Second event.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

FFXV could be coming out in less than a year.....I've been waiting for nearly 8 years for this day. Since its playable I'm expecting a new trailer at TGS.

 

[qualitydisc]

new art for Noctis?

Definitely new. Character on the left looks like Type-0 judging by the collar (I'm not as familiar with it)

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Awesome! It's half surprising because it is the most obvious route to take, but SE aren't exactly doing the obvious, but hey ho, this is great!

Whether the demo is any good is another question..but then again the XII demo wasn't great and that game was awesome!

Definitely new. Character on the left looks like Type-0 judging by the collar (I'm not as familiar with it)

Yeah, left is Ace. Poster boy for Type-0.

Oh I meant links to Sony's one(or wherever SE games may show up)

Thanks in advance.

That's some fantastic news to wake up to.


A FFXV demo holy shit.

Does this mean FFXV actually has a chance to release stateside by holiday 2015???
