Is that blood coming out of Noctis mouth? dang this FF will be dark.



I LOVE IT

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.

No, this is great.

Your damn home country gets invaded. A royal guard beating around the bush and not telling the prince would be absolutely dumb.

This is going to have a huge amount of shock for Noctis and co. in the actual game.

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.

ill probably leave now i hope someone does a whole summary or a new thread.

Can you customise Noctis' and/or the party's attire?
Click to expand...

No, expect one or two alts in game. Costumes and such dlc.
 
I'm looking forward to Chocobo races especially with drifting lol

Game seems packed with content so glad I ordered that super special edition

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

How is bothering my social media with screenshots "sweet"?
 
It's crazy how my hype for this game really started to dwindle. Like I was extremely hyped when FFXV was first shown again at the PS4 Reveal E3 and then since then it's really just become... oh ya it's eventually coming out.

Now though after Uncovered and now all of this, my hype has shot through the roof again.

Lol, my guess is the Empire starts to track the gang by following the photos.

Anything about Luna, Kagari?

Luna might have affection for Noctis, but Noctis is too complicated to care or unwilling to reciprocate it.

You don't have to share it. It's just character development that happens on the side.

Frozenprince said:
Is that the old Regis design in the background?

Jerks.
Click to expand...

He's still in the game it appears. There's a story reason why Regis ages so quickly.

Look at his facial structure and cheekbones especially. They're the same.
 
Obliterator said:
You don't have to do that. Its more in depth than that though, they will give you things like stat boosts for the party and will also offer back story and character development.
Click to expand...

Yeah, so in other words, you're incentivized to be a one-man plague to your Facebook.

Everyone's unfollowed me, but at least my Prompto's Level 99!
 
Whoa boy summons info

When you call a summon they won't always do the same thing. They are entities that exist in the world itself. So depending on the situation they will do different things. Examples given Titan sometimes will run up and melee hit an enemy, sometimes he will throw boulders at the enemy and its possible he will even give up and leave the battle. They will also act differently in a dungeon than they will in the overworld

Its a huge focus for the staff for Summons to feel exciting and a major event when they show up, not just some random monster that swoops in. They want a sense of awe with them.
 
anyone making a summary thread? but please spoiler tag story stuff, i don't want to know how the game begins.

Nice, this makes them seem more alive and act out of their own will, which was the goal.

Ok......so how in the heck are they going to handle calling these large summons in a cave or other small environments???

Any mention of how Summons are used? They sound like Odin from FFVIII, appearing at their convenience.

Excellent news. I knew all of the "episodic" hyperbole was for naught. This news deserves its own thread imo.
Click to expand...

We have yet to see what these 3 games will even be liked in terms of how much content they pack.

I highly doubt any of the parts is going to have anywhere close to the amount of stuff FFXV will have from day one. I think that's the worry. By the end it will surely have more, though.

But it wasn't going to be episodic, anyway.
 
Oh man all these spoilers ... I might have to wait for someone to hopefully post a summary thread. I don't want too much of the beginning of the game spoiled.
 
Ok this is big I know for a lot of people that are worried about Final Fantasy.

GI has this to say, "FFXV isn't Witcher 3 or Dragon Age Inquisition in terms of your to-do list. That isn't necessarily bad because your quest log isn't bloated by insignificant or uninteresting tasks.....inspires a feeling similar to pre-PS2 Final Fantasies where there were huge overworld maps that made the setting seem authentic and enormous - even if you didn't find a quest every step."

HYPE
 
Kagari said:
One of the screenshots has Ignis with a spear so maybe he can get his OG katana back :>
Click to expand...

Lol, why would you be excited for that. Lord Nomura designed Cor and he's meant to have the katana now. This is true to Nomura's vision. ;)

OK.

This is the best thing I've heard about the game in a year. So it isn't going to be like Duscae?

That explains why we have seen Titan do something different every time he has been seen in footage.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, I just don't want them to jump from "1 quest good" to "100 quests better" because I don't have the patience for that shit when 90% are the exact same thing.

This is great, the sense of a real road trip through massive landscapes without Assassin's Creed markers popping up all over the map.

But what about those 200+ quests? Holy shit, is the game world so fucking big that you won't feel like you find a new quest every step?

Ohhh, everything makes sense now. Look how starved Noctis looks in that picture.

"But you mustn't say so, lest the cook be sent away."

It turns out, Regis, that you actually DID send away the cook.

Well congratulations, maybe you now remember why you hired a cook in the first place. Do you think they just do random things in the kitchen to be a pain in your ass? No, they do it so you and your one and only heir eat and live healthy every day. Your bodies need NOURISHMENT.

What do you mean, you tasked Ignis to cook for your only child??? Nooooo, Ignis has been an epic failure. You want to know what he does? He took Noctis to McGarula for some meaty Chocoburger and Crunchy McGyshals. Well that turned out nicely, didn't it?

Ce2dH4LUAAAISd1.jpg



You have been a horrible, horrible, horrible father Regis. Don't you ever wonder why people keep dying under your reign.

Your son Noctis will be the first ever video game character to literally starve on screen, congratulations on a job well done!

This is truly a fantasy based on reality.

A fantasy horribly gone wrong.
