If they need more time, they need more time.

I'm a little ambivalent on FFXV until it actually comes out and I have it in my PS4, but if they announced a small delay and detailed what the Neo version would have - assuming part of the delay would be to not just make it a locked 30fps - then it may push me down the route of getting a Neo.

I've realized the latter part of the year will be packed with games and going back to uni so less of a timesink is kinda welcome.
 
I hope to fucking god that this game is good.

I don't think I can take another 5 years of FF sucking until the next title (directed by our hero Itou).
 
I'd be disappointed sure, but I wouldn't be mad. I still plan on buying the game, after all these years.

That said, I feel like a delay of a couple months is gonna show the ugly side of twitter and the gaming community again (lets not forget what happened when No Man's Sky was delayed by a couple of months). Especially now that the Season Pass stuff was announced.

If there's a 2 months delay, then lets hope that 2 months is worth it.
 
Disappointing as this is, it's nice to have more than 2 weeks now to play through Recore and Persona 5 before this comes out. Hate how close this would make it to Gravity Rush 2, mind.

It's an epic fight against a giant Titan, why do you think they planned on showing it? And what excuses are you talking about? Here's a better vid of the fight:

And before you tell me it still looks terrible, you can not deny it looks 1000 times(or at least a little) better than what the main presentation showed off (and the difference is pretty much from player skill alone).

One issue with negative posts for games that aren't released is if the game turns out to be great, the defenders get to say "eat your crow" and everyone wins because everyone gets a good game. While if the game sucks, the naysayers get to say "I told you so" and all the people looking forward to the game gets their dreams crushed, and we're left with a bad game. You should be able to see why people do not want the negativity in every single FFXV thread (see: Styles's shitposts).

Thanks for your post, this is imo some much needed relativisation. Often my hype wavers when some mediocre footage emerges, and people are glad to point it out, but so many awesome moments in the same setting have been shown (referring to the Titan demo right now) that also graphically look quite good to me.

I think an undeniable problem with this game is its marketing. So much footage that is sub-par has been shown, only to often be quickly discredited by videos showing just how fun and good looking this game is. It is positively stunning that SE is dropping the ball with marketing this much. And it's not just the game itself either: the ultimate CE not containing a $25 season pass, so many separate little pre order bonuses spread out across retailers... It all antagonises the core fanbase who want to be able to get everything. Not to mention the possibility of yet another delay, which out of context would be fine but not in a game that has been anticipated for 10 years and has a release date for only just over four months, or the Platinum demo, which was a tech demo with one real battle at the end, but that was never clearly explained, resulting in many people thinking the game played like the majority of that demo, while it actually will play like that final battle (look up the Neogaf thread, you will find hundreds, if not thousands, of comments saying something like "man the battle system is boring, I didn't like any of the fighting except for the Iron Giant").

All in all, then, I think we are looking at a great game with some epic set pieces (Titan for example) and a genuinely awe inspiring ecology (take a look at the World of Wonder FFXV videos - four in all, they show the ecology and landmass and have easily managed to wow me and then some) that is held back by two things: the potential of its combat being nothing special and some breathtakingly bad marketing.

As to your remarks on shitposting: of course, shitposting is fun because it triggers reactions from people who do like it. But I do think people posting here are not all (some definitely are) doing it to get a reaction but are uncertain about the game due to the unclear vision presented by marketing (completely understandable). Perhaps the game is mediocre, perhaps it is GOAT, but it definitely is not helped by SE's marketing efforts.

Edit: I think the footage from Playstation Underground makes the gameplay look even better than Playstation Access does, Check it out. I think this shows that your skills allow for better gameplay, which is cool I think (do we know about difficulty levels? That would necessitate using those skills to win, and seal the deal on the game's gameplay being great for me).
 
Guess I need to move my days off then, I took a couple in September just to play FFXV. T_T As long as it's good, I won't complain. Already waited 10 years for the damn thing, might as well wait 2 more months.

Please don't be true. I need a new final fantasy game in my life. 13 did absolutely nothing for me so I was looking forward to playing XV as soon as possible
 
If it needs delaying, delay it. I've got more than plenty of games to play for the rest of the year, and I really want FFXV to be good.

Much rather they'd take all the time they need to polish it.

Will probably import Persona 5 at this point

I'm sick of playing nothing, but two 3 hours indie games since Uncharted 4.

Kinda off topic, but how are a lot of users here gonna play Persona 5 in Japanese?

Are you all fluent in Japanese? if not, then wouldn't that detract from the core experience?

Curious because people are importing this game a lot more than I thought they would.

I'll feel sad that I can't understand the dialogue, but get the gist of the general narrative from cutscenes. Combat will be accessible and I'll get to soak up the atmosphere, visuals and that fantastic soundtrack.
 
as someone who hasn't followed FF15 news for the last couple of months, it's pretty sad to see everyone, including gaf mods, being so negative about this game.

the FF fanbase is nearing Sonic levels of masochism.

I mean, a 10 year waiting period to get a game not up to par? this is fucked up on several levels.

it's very sad,

I don't feel like playing that one tbh.

I can understand alot Japanese of dialogues and what I won't understand I can translate with google/camera via cellphone easily.
 
to be fair, it's not like we are in the dark for when to await confirmation. It's like a day or two till we get confirmation, not really a pressing issue.

I understand the language.

JRPG's is why I started studying originally and I don't regret it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you tried Danganronpa? I was more or less in the same situation as you, except Halo 5 MP instead of indies. I really have come to enjoy it now, with the comfort of knowing there is three of them to keep me busy.
 
Anything longer than a month's delay, and I am cancelling.
I will also let amazon know that is the reason I cancelled.

Yes, I understand the language. No point importing such a story-heavy game if you don't tbh :)
 
If they need more time I would rather they play it a little more safe and push it in to December now instead of delaying it a second time when we get to late October.

Atlus release the Chinese version close to the Japanese version. At least that's why I can play it.

I'm not into visual novels sadly. it wouldn't hurt to try at least the first one tho.
 
There was a time where I'd be excited for a new Final Fantasy and disappointed if there was a delay so close to the release but that time passed a long time ago so, meh. I'll come out when it comes out.
