can't even drive your car off the road ( that's what chocos are for). So what, invisible walls, or neverending guard rails?

Can't be disappointed about this, personally. The car has been advertised as a place of relaxation where you listen to music and do some "fast travel" between large distances. Whether this is true, I wouldn't take the car off-road since I can ride a chocobo (and what's better than that?)!

I do wonder how they would make that plausible, though. Never-ending guard rails seems like an excessively lame solution!

Edit:

If the airship can fly through the world you'd expect the car to drive off roads. Come on people.

So probably isn't true, good observation here.
 
Possible. I enjoyed AC:Unity... on day 1...

Doesn't excuse the performance itself, just because some of us are more tolerant to the problems with it.

For sure, but it bodes well considering the delay. If they can alleviate some of the performance concerns with two extra months that can only be a good thing.
 
Tssk, tssk, so many people are freaking out over this. Aside from the performance issues -- which they are fixing now that the game is delayed -- the original leak didn't sound too bad. The story, when summarized like that, isn't any worse than most FF games (especially VII and VIII).
As for the world, some parts may be bland and empty (though I don't think there will be many sidequests there) but I'll personally tolerate that since we also get the environments shown in the World of Wonder trailer. Same thing for the cities -- I don't mind if they are small when they look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXBXsBCthC4
 
Are you talking about the other leak that mentions that we're getting
Doomtrain, Odin, Diablos(?)
as summon? If true, then that would be cool, but given that Tabata said the summons count are not high, I doubt their inclusion.

No, that's a different rumor leaker (like the 4-5th one that posted on 4chan), probably fake now.

WTF? This game is a mess!

What's next? The main guy dressing as a woman so he can save someone?
 
Is there an FF story you do like? If not then fair enough but you also kind of aren't the target of the point. Point being, presumably someone expecting a good story from Final Fantasy would base those expectations on a past Final Fantasy story they liked. If so, it doesn't make sense to decide the story will suck based on a plot summary because they all sound ridiculous as lists and not stories.
There's a clear difference between liking a story and said stories being genuinely good. Especially when the subject matter is video games. JRPGs especially.

The sentiment is true about any story tho, thats what were saying.. saying its bad based off 5 lines is plainly ridiculous.. you don't know how the story plays out yet.

Its annoying when GAF goes off like this based on very basic info..a lot is about to be shown off just wait until you get your own eyes on things.
I don't agree.
 
I didn't bother with FFXIII! I'm one of dem lapsed FF fans Tabata said he hopes to win back.

Hah.

Anyway, the plot sounds like
a giant fetchquest. Like Tabata watched the 2006 CG Vs trailer, looked at the floating swords and thought to himself, "I'm gonna make the plot all about THAT!" Then there's the DBZ hyperbolic time chamber business, for reasons.
I guess the leak almost confirms my own biases about how everything I've seen so far that is plot-related about FF15 hasn't looked any good.

Gonna have to say that Kagari was right all this time. I would've preferred Nomura's game. All the stuff he showed was actually more interesting. I guess all hopes and dreams rest on his FF7 TRIOLOGY now.
Isn't ff x plot basically acquiring Eons after Eons to defeat Sin?
Eons equal swords. But FF X plot is much more than that.
 
I had no hype for this game but the leaks being true just make things worst ,
It's FF and i will still buy it but everything about this game seem like a joke.
 
Platinum demo looked worse than Duscae (yeah I know it was made by the two 9 years old sons of some of the developers yada yada yada) so this wouldn't surprised me.
 
Yeah the reddit guy m00sician didn't do much to alleviate my concerns. Bad FPS dips, especially during cutscenes, graphics downgrade, can't even drive your car off the road ( that's what chocos are for). So what, invisible walls, or neverending guard rails?
The previews from Game Informer on the past said that you could drive off road
 
Kinda highlights the 'what's the point?' issue with that.

Well I think it's easier to do just collision detection for flying and make you explode when you hit a rock, than for QA to make sure you won't get stuck anywhere when you drive in rough terrain.

Dunno, but just my guess.
 
4chan poster leaked pretty much every significant detail (and issues) with the game months ago, including a description of the game's intro, which was exactly what this article describes.

Few towns. Few cities. Barren overworld. Awww snap.

So, just like classic Final Fantasy titles then?
 
If the airship can fly through the world you'd expect the car to drive off roads. Come on people.

At least there's some sort of arc there. FFXV so far is:

Go collect swords to retake your kingdom. Also timeskip because reasons
 
Can we have that other leak added to the first post as well since people seem to skip it and just assume the worst?
I thought the one in the OP was the first leak? Also the leaker in the second leak is a lot more positive than the first.

Pre-order cancelled.

WTF Nomura? =/

If you are claiming that you can tell whether a story is objectively good based off bullet points then I simply can't fathom how.

Not that I'm positing FFXV's story will be objectively good.

Lmao no alternate costumes.

You don't know those reasons. That's the entire point. That's because story synopses don't paint the whole picture.

LOL if I've never played ff7, my thoughts would be like "this shit sounds ridiculous and awful".
 
Aren't there like 3 leaks whys everyone focusing on the negative one? Didn't they all sound legit in some way?

I think there is only one leak with
time skip
thats why.

My favorite leak is the recent one
with Cor being in chapter 0 and doomtrain summon as a way to fast travel
 
Story sounds actually okay, it's what happens in the in between that's important. The reason FFXIII was such a disaster on the story front was because it was an overly convoluted mess. Keeping it (relatively) simple is a smart decision.

I'm infinitely more concerned about all the other horrible shit the leak said.
 
Where's the damn video? 😒

Judging from the pics taken of the demo stations the footage will probably be of the desert area, which is disappointing.
 
Isn't it like ffvii?. The car couldn't go everywhere,the boat could only land on shores and the plane couldn't land on every surface

But the car in this game can fly. I'm not asking for it to land in every situation, but on a pretty flat bed of grass or a rock, the car should be able to land. It just seems silly to make a car a plane that can go anywhere but be severely limited to where it can actually land.

I'm on the same boat. As someone that's been more of a KH fan than a FF fan since the end of the PS2 era I've been hoping to see FF With that style of gameplay. It's so bizarre that this is Nomura's game and story and they switched him for someone else, especially for such an expensive project. It's weird that the leak mentions Nomura being kicked out due to him wanting a trilogy and then FF7 was announced to be one as well. Maybe they greenlight FF7 despite previously saying they weren't going to do it until they made a game that surpassed it because they knew this one wasn't going to turn out well
 
If you are claiming that you can tell whether a story is objectively good based off bullet points then I simply can't fathom how.

I'm not saying that, i'm just wondering why people are using such horrid examples. Now we got FFVII in the mix.

It's probably one of three areas that runs adequately and doesn't crash.
 
SE - "Mr Tabata, this game is a mess, we already delayed it, what can we do now?"
Tabata - "There's...still one event. If we play our hard in the right way, we can do it."
SE - "What do you mean? Gamescom?"
Tabata - "Yes, my friend, yes. One Build. One Build to trick them All."
SE - "To the Gamescom!"

There's only 2 leakers that have confirmed the chapter 0 info before today. The first leaker, and the second leaker who corroborated what the first leaker said but also provided some new confirmed info of his own (like knowing of Iris before the last brother episode aired, older Noct design description, etc.) and was more positive. Basically the two leakers you posted in the OP are the ones that mentioned chapter 0 correctly.

I found that far funnier than I should've.

It's a good point though, present any Final Fantasy story in this way and it all looks bad.

Well the demo is said to be right from the start of the game to however long they're allowed to play. So that pic we don't know at what point they are in the game.

So whatever footage we get can be many different things.
