It's just so damn good.

 

[Kagari]

Likely release time for the full game does suck but we have P5, Yakuza 5, XenoX to retain our gaming sanity.

And Heavensward.

 

[threelights]

And Heavensward.

And Ys VIII.

 

[SOLDIER]

Did anyone notice that they semi-confirmed that the game will have a photo mode?

I had assumed/hoped for this with the World of Wonder video. It would be awesome if you could take shots of all the various wildlife in the game.

Well they said that Noctis has a cell phone or something like it and can take pictures but this was awhile ago so who knows if it is still in.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

anyone knows how exactly the Phantom Swords work.. when activating them, in defence mode they circling around Noctis to protect him? Then switching to attacks or combos they piercing the targets? Or how do they work?

Also, apparently someone's cell phone goes off at the beginning of the game when they're in the tent.

 

[Koozek]

I think you meant Gratia Mundi... Its destined to be the title of every song.

Haha, I don't even know if my rusty latin was right^^

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

And Ys VIII.

and Trails:SC!

 

[Falk]

Well, he DID direct Lightning Returns, so I don't see why not.

my metacritic score

and Trails:SC!

Hyperdimension Neptunia VII

!!!!

 

[MultiJhonny]

Well according to google translate it literally means Clear Of.

 

[Koozek]

Well according to google translate it literally means Clear Of.

Eh, Google Translation is utter trash for Latin or Japanese^^ JP -> GER is pure comedic gold.
I meant to say "Graceful Camp".

my metacritic score

Wait, you didn't deny M_Night's post, yet. So... Falk replacing Tabata basically confirmed!? Crazy if true. 10 years of development and 3 directors. SMH. /jk

Its just pretty bad overall... If you are looking for one word then it can be useful.

I was just looking for something since I know 0 latin lol

 

[Falk]

You know, at some point I'd reel in the jokes. There's a lot of legit actual misinformation out there and it doesn't really help things any.

It's sorta like how Valve gets annoyed when people joke about hl3 and they get a shit ton of emails to deal with.

I think they circle around you, but you still have to Guard for them to block stuff (not sure though, not many defensive stuff going on in these videos). And when you attack they also appear and attack the enemy with you, so there's more hits in each attack.

And they work by pressing L1 and R1, it starts to decrease your MP (the more MP you have the longer it lasts), it gives you no cost on abilities, and you get the quick-warp stuff Noctis does.

Hyperdimension Neptunia VII

And Tokyo Xanadu!

 

[coredecepts]

It's blowing my mind that people would pay $60 "for a demo", have the next Final Fantasy game IN-HAND, then trade it in without playing it.

If you are interested in FFXV, and you're buying Type-0 anyway, you should give Type-0 a shot. They're likely still connected by the Fabula Nova Crystallis. And it's just plain good!

Type 0 has really cool style despite it's technical limitations. It feels very anime(in a good way), and I really want to see a Type 1.

I do prefer it on console though. Just think, it could be a mid tier series that we could always rely on. One that doesn't take a decade to make.

Spoiler

That said Type 0 took 5 years to eventually make it to PSP let alone this HD version...

 

[Falk]

Got it! I'll stop, sorry

Don't get me wrong, I joke about stuff like Omnibus Lacrima too, but when it becomes a significant fraction of a page on its own I think it gets out of hand.

Yep, I totally understand!

 

[Sanctuary]

they're relationships are pre-established before the demo

Gamespot needs better editors or proofreaders.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

And Heavensward.

And Ys VIII.

And LR on PC!!

cant wait to try that out.. I remember the tech demo (Imperial Palace Scene) where Noctis took out an entire army with the Phantom Swords.. he had like 8 or 9 equipped.

AND KINGDOM HEARTS III




























Yeah, yeah. I know.

 

[Koozek]

AND KINGDOM HEARTS III

[...]

Yeah, yeah. I know.

Man, I'm happy I'm not a KH fan. They're getting even less infos than Versus fans between 11' and 13'.
Does anybody who follows KH more closely have an idea what the release window could be realistically?

 

[wmlk]

That's why I spoilered it. It's an art form.

 

[HeelPower]

Just curious(without spoilers) is there any permanently missable content in this "demo" ? Or will the final game contain everything ?

I think they said there will be some stuff exclusive to the demo.

 

[Trago]

Demo footage looks sweet. But the banter, more specifically Prompto's voice. Sweet Jesus it's bad.

 

[HeelPower]

I think they said there will be some stuff exclusive to the demo.

So this is pretty much a ground zeroes situation.

2017 earliest.

Also, it's not so bad, KH3 was announced in 2013, so a 4-year dev cycle is normal.

It's not like we didn't get great KH games in the past few years

 

[Aurizen]

I'm so excited for this game!!!

 

[Kagari]

Poor KH fans. I saw some KH-centric Twitter accounts talking about FF lately, the news for them is so barren.

 

[Falk]

can't you guys just wait till 2015 for kh3 news

 

[Koozek]

Dayum. I mean, I'm super sympathetic to devs of AAA games, but should a game like KH3 really take as long as a huge, open-world game like FFXV? Shouldn't either Spring or Fall '16 be possible depending on when FFXV releases next year?

Spoiler

It's not as if Nomura has other things to do at the moment, right?

Spoiler

Sorry.

 

[hipsterpants]

Maybe we'll get lucky and get a XV/KH3 double feature at E3. Probably not though.

 

[Koozek]

Come on, no KH3 at E3 again would be cruel. Has there been any footage in 2014?

 

[TheGreatDirector]

The promise of KH footage this year most likely means e3 considering the the size of the western fanbase.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Idk, I think the next time we see KH3 is TGS. Idk why I say that, just a feeling I get. I think it will be just a major focus on FFXV

The promise of KH footage this year most likely means e3 considering the the size of the western fanbase.

True. But for some reason I just don't see it at E3 this year, except for the lack of information and they just kinda open the floodgates after E3 if it is shown.

Sorry.

Actually, yeah. I mean, the game is not open world, but it's still pretty damn big. Content-wise I actually don't think KH3 will fall behind on FFXV (unless FFXV is filled with generic quests and you consider those as content).

KH generally also has much more gameplay depth than FF (specially compared to what they're doing in XV).

Come on, no KH3 at E3 again would be cruel. Has there been any footage in 2014?

Last year there was some at an event they did for the launch of KH2.5

But it never went to the public.

GRATIA CASTRORUM.

Feels like Gran Turismo

 

[Mariip]

Don't forget the plot of KH3D =T, THAT'S a reason to cry(not that it was that much better before...)

 

[Crossing Eden]

Noctis Sword Combo

Noctis Spear Combo

He has two swords and two spears, both have the same combos as the above.

Fantastic character animation.

I'm just happy they finally announced the end of the trilogy (lol, i know). They promised new info for this year, so I guess it's sefe to assume we'll get at least a new trailer for the KH III in a few months (maybe E3 or TGS).

 

[DeSolos]

They showed KH3 behind close doors to fans at the KH2.5 launch events and said they would show more this year.

Right now it's really really early days for KH3. 2017 is the earliest possible.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

FFVIII's theme song was Eyes on Me.

FFXV, being a mainline game, will have a similar theme. It's going to be marketable.

It doesn't HAVE to have that kind of "love theme". Hell, I think Somnus, alone, would suffice as a "vocal theme song" for many fans. A lot of popular, mainstream AAA games don't have vocal love ballads as their main themes.

 

[royox]

I'd be totally dissapointed if Bravely Default, a low budget game for a portable console with half of the game being totally unbearable was what Final Fantasy is supposed to be.

The gameplay of the game is 100% what a Final Fantasy is supposed to be. I was talking about the gameplay not the plot.

It probably won't be a love theme, at least not a pop song, if we're going by Shimomura's collaborations and past works. Love isn't the central theme, anyway.

I don't really know who you are to say what FF is supposed to be. It's kind of weird when what you're saying this and Sakaguchi considers the FF series to have very few constraints.

Even then, I don't care what it's supposed to be. It hasn't exactly been a rigid format and I think everyone here knows that.

 

[Feep]

Someone please point me to the most convenient way to preorder Type-0 to obtain the Day 1 demo. If I do Amazon, will I get a digital code, or do I have to wait for the physical arrival? I'd prefer all digital, if possible.
