Complaining about the fact that a car is too realisticVersus XIII was always meant to throw back to the older FF games. Where you all been?
It's painfully obvious how many people didn't follow versus and only showed "concern" at the re-reveal. The best part about the last two years is how the E3 2013 re-reveal was met with "omg, stop trying to be Uncharted! Where is the grass and wildlife?!" and now SE doubles down on showing off the exploration, and now I see, "Jeez, stop trying to be a generic WRPG! Where are the set pieces?!"Versus XIII was always meant to throw back to the older FF games. Where you all been?

Not believing. That's where they've been.
Do Japanese call J-Pop Pop?Does anybody know what the general consensus among Japanese gamers is on the character designs, like, are there so many "lol, gay (k-pop) boyband" comments, too, or are they seen as not that unusual over there, anyway? Though it's mostly male hosts that look like that, so the Japanese mainstream could still perceive these metrosexual looks as "uncommon", no?
Noo, but cars... and... and... grass fields... and they're wearing BLACK!Versus XIII was always meant to throw back to the older FF games. Where you all been?

these people don't know what is despair.I love m_night
Dengeki PlayStation cover is p nice. I like how the art style for the XV side is similar to a lot of the stuff we saw for Versus XIII.
Never before has a poor choice of words/mistranslation caused so much concern, lol. Considering how complicated the combat mechanics are (we haven't even seen gambits yet) and how quickly ever has been getting party wiped in the demo, that thread was a bunch of worry for nothing.Man was just reading this thread again: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=899912 ...really funny to me now.

Not to mention "core-centric" and "casual" mentioned in the same breathe is an oxymoron.

As much as I actually enjoyed XIII and its world, I still don't understand how the hell the geography of Cocoon works.
Does every city have its own artificial sky and gravity? I know that at least Nautilus appears to.
How is it that you almost always have a clear and unobstructed view of sky from anywhere within Cocoon?
I don't know how many times I've had to quote Nomura regarding "traditional aspects" he wanted Versus(yeah, back when it was Versus) to include. And even NOW, some people just don't get it. It doesn't register for shit. Really, this world(FFXV's), seems to be the closest you'd get to having a traditional FF world that was "sped up" to meet a modern setting, while acknowledging that the world is INDEED old and remnants of the old world still exist(and roam it).Versus XIII was always meant to throw back to the older FF games.

How can folks complaign about casuals with ff? That's like a kirby fan complaing about a game not beinng hardcore.FF is a ball of fluff.
FF7 and 8 had cars and grass fields. And the Turks who wore black.

Weird, I thought "German rap" just referred to the language the song was in.Good question, dunnoGerman rap is called Deutschrap over here.
But you never see the Turks driving a car in grass fields.FF7 and 8 had cars and grass fields. And the Turks who wore black.

Yeah, but Japanese boy band! I think I might be the first person who ever pointed that out too!

So maybe J-Pop is called J-Pop in Japan =X
It's the inside of a Dyson Sphere. The stars in the sky are lights from a city on the other side.
I always found it funny the first thing people thing about regarding "handsome guys in a group" is Japanese boy band. Just from a historic perspective, that's been done WAY before j-pop/rock band popularity. Hell, not the first, but when I hear of "prettyboy group"(maybe showing my age), I think of Duran Duran:
[...]
OMG, attractive men with pretty hair, wearing stylish clothing.... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The West has(or at least HAD, as we've seem to take up the idea that we've become "better than that" with shifting of decade trends, which I still believe is horseshit if you have to tell yourself that) pretty boys too.
Seriously though, the j-pop boy band comments were maybe funny back in 2013 but now it's just getting old and annoying.
FFVIII and FFXV are definitely kindred spirits. I agree whokeheartedly, but I think, at least at the time, VIII was the one XIII most closely resembled. I think it still is, but as we know it's largely an outlier.
Yeah I actually agree with that. It's a poor stereotype.
It can't be helped that the reference is being made, considering the designs of the characters. Not that I mind how they look. I've seen worse designs in my rpgs and Final Fantasies.
Huh, never thought of it that way. Makes sense. It also sounds cooler =XWith rap over here it might be the case of wanting to consciously differentiate or emphasize the national scene compared to US rap that only in the recent years lost its relevance but was king for most of the 90's and early naughts. You also have to consider that Rap is very meta and many rappers rap about rap, so that's probably also why we use Deutschrap as a special label.
Haha, talking about German rap in a FFXV thread. Wait, what if you could listen to the radio while driving and they had a Hip-Hop channel!?Jokes aside, you think there'll be a radio (especially now that we know that there are only ambient sounds instead of a looped song on the overworld)?"lol, gta fantasy"
I saw it mentioned in a few of the demo previews. It was really obnoxious to read, actually.
XIII always seemed like an even more sci-fi version of FFX to me.

They said that Noctis, Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto will be the MAIN PARTY, but they never said anything regarding guest characters. Most FFs have had guest characters(especially the modern ones) for certain portions of the game. Not permanent, sure, but still a cool possibility.I like the FFXV cast, but man: I really, really hope there will be other party members as well, even though I know they declined. Different party members being able to cook different dishes for example (because they are from a different background or something), different party members fighting with other styles and so on.
