I fucking love the symbolism in this artwork. In the picture we see Regis towering over kid Noctis while now Regis and Noctis sit on the sofa at the same height like equals. It's really well thought out.

Dayum . . . That's a lot of quests.

Can't imagine how many hours I'll be sinking into this game, lol.
 
Cidney is totally FF14's Minfillia. Making you do stuff while she stays home. lol

That good for nothing Minfillia. Oiy. I haven't really been keeping up with the story after the expansion started. Has she made her glorious lazy return?
 
Tabata state that
There will be a centralized foe. Not an assortment of villians as the "main enemy". Think of it like Sephiroth there will be a singular major villian
 
Hahaha
Noctis and co. find out about the invasion by reading a newspaper and then try and go back to the city but are blocked off by Niflheim forces.
 
Ardyn shows up fairly early it looks like. The crew tries to take the ferry to Altissia and he stops them telling them service is suspended. At this point they don't know of the invasion.

Wonder if he is still voiced by Kenji Fujiwara.

And Noctis wearing a suit when he's grown up shows a lot, too.

Holy shit, this is priceless.

Those who are opening every spoiler, I'd recommend skipping this one as this might be a hilarious surprise in the game :D
 
I appreciate your honestly, tbh.

I think this game looks alright, but JRPGs are riddled with cliched pretty boys from no-name villages fighting some great evil/empire. If this manages to tell a great story, cool. But the genre's track record isn't exactly stellar.
But FFXIII's story is a masterpiece. An epic so big that it had to span 3 titles.
 
Hahaha

This is lame. I thought the
Lucis invasion reveal was going to that scene in which Cor tells Noctis that "the truth is complicated".
This is so anticlimatic and weird.
 
Weapon types sword, daggers, lances, firearms, shields, royal arms, spells, and something called "machines" which weren't revealed yet

ugh, please don't do the things I don't really like about open world games...
 
That may be one of the best GI covers I've ever seen.
Tabata: We have no intention to create sequels out of this.
But there needs to be a sequel. How else is Stella supposed to make her triumphant return as the true ruler of the Niflheim kingdom and the strongest character in FFXV?

Noctis gets a call from Cor on his way back to the city and that's when he breaks the news.

I hope some of these are more than "collect X of Y/Kill 20 X" fetch quests.
I mean i know some will, but i hope not every of them.

Also monster hunting is now a full fledged thing, yay!
They won't all have the same level of quality as DeadEye from ED, but i hope they reach FFXII levels.
 
I haven't been keeping up with info about this game at all so I'm going to ask a question, sorry if this is the wrong place.

Can you customise Noctis' and/or the party's attire?
 
We need them Ultima weapons quests

Aw, man. I'd absolutely love that. Getting an Ultima weapon for each character. :D

Hope you're doing alright resisting the spoilers, by the way, haha.

If you do end up leaving the thread, I don't mind sending you spoiler-free summaries or anything.

Well they specifically mention the game isn't similar to Dragon Age Inquisition and The Witcher 3 when it comes to quests and that the map isn't packed with quest-givers and activities.

Hopefully they're worth doing, unlike most MMO-fare quests (FFXIV specifically) where you just walk back and forth clicking on NPC's.

Quests like that are mentioned in the article.
 
Ok so this is sweet

Each party member has their own "special talent" that improves with use. One example given is Prompto will ask the crew to take pit stops with the car where everyone gets out, goes to a spot and he takes photographs. You can then share these photo's on social media. The more you do it the better his pictures will be. These are in the game for both character development and will have real consequences for the game. Prompto is photography, Noctis is fishing, Ignis is cooking, and Gladiolus is survival instincts
