*reads thread* Ouch, my head hurts with all the "reverse psychic prediction" stuff.

Honestly at this point Verendus probably could get that perma. The idea that he's "making stuff up" sounds absurd. Looking back on it in hindsight we can brush it off, but some of you were there at the time so ya'll should know better. Saying there'll be a "naval RPG" and passing it off as "vague enough" when Sea of Thieves pops up? Predicting FF7: Remake in an anagram so long before it happens people can actually play the "well, everyone saw this coming" card? He got banned for trolling a guy after having a several page argument about DQXI being on two systems (heavily hinted to be 3DS and PS4) before that very info was confirmed. Even the Marvel IP/Spider-Man PS4 was the longest of long-shots.

But yikes, if you're gonna make up a fake rumor for everything you get right is it worth it? There's no way a Superman game is in production--WB's doing Suicide Squad and Bats. There's no way Konami's even considering Suikoden 6. And an FF6 remake sounds like something that if it's real exists on a "future project" list.

There's enough there to just assume this is someone who knows stuff, but is perfectly willing to dick around and leave you to figure out what's real and what's a complete goof to screw with you. He can go off that basis. This gen has been pretty garbage and many of the games he mentioned I had hope for lol. Now I have to pretend like TLG matters???

What the heck is going on in this thread? Every time I come take a look people are talking about everything except FF15 😂
 
I have decided to go on a full black out since copies went wild, but I am having a moment of weakness so, please bare with me, all I want to know is whether the good folks here on GAF that got it early are satisfied with the game. Has it met your hype? A simple yes/no would suffice really...

No gaffer posted impressions yet.
 
Here we go, love UAE.

Look I know people are excited... but I don't wanna rain on anyone's parade. Someone could simply sit in a car like that and take the picture, without actually owning the car. Anyone could do it. I think it's time to investigate this post history stat!



lol jokes aside. Enjoy the game!

I've been catching up with this thread this morning and omg. Thanks for the summary! I love Gaf. /dead
 
Damn son, the spoilers in the other thread were wild.

For those who kept asking about when the game goes linear and stuff, here are some chapter and location spoilers. Nothing about story so no worries.
Chapter 9 is apparently still in Altissia so take it for what it is.

Why are you allowing yourself to be spoiled!? You have to resist, we've waited too long for this and you've contributed too much to this cause :/
 
That iron giant GIF somehow isn't as funny without Noctis just casually walking away.

Sorry :(

edit: holy shit what have i done rofl
 
His review is nothing but filler words anyway, was reading it since he post and it's just what delusion FFXV fans and some FFXV creators want to hear.
 
It'd be so epic if he came back, and brought proof. We'd collectively lose our shit.

Considering this whole kerfuffle began yesterday and he hasn't accessed his account in over a day, even if he were to return with proof of ownership, there would be no denying the distinct possibility that he tracked down a copy in response to being called out -- unless, of course, he also had evidence to the contrary (e.g. a receipt).

he's probably just too busy playing ffxv to get on neogaf
 
9 days and it's getting crazier. I guess this happens for every major release.

I'm betting 9 days before KH3's release, the forums will go down, people will go crazy, conspiracy theories will pop up, and we will enter Nirvana.

I think I know what's the summary of the overall game based on the very few impressions: It's a decent to good game but not without problems.

Keeping your expectations to a minimum it seems ;)

I'm a sane FF fan.

I had minimal expectation with FFXIII and I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was. :)

For Those Buying Final Fantasy XV: Which Version Are You Getting?

The free one.
 
Ah, yes. YouTube videos using captures from the CGi cutscenes as thumbnails and people making twitter avatars out of them. I waited 10 years for this.
 
This thread needs one of those posts that summarise everything, you know the ones, with the image of the old guy reading the book.

Lionel Mandrake we need you.

SunhiLegend already did his part.

Here we go, love UAE.
When my copy of FFXV arrives, I'll be sure to take a picture of it with my bus pass in the background :(

I would say good to excellent. 'Decent' is underselling what I have read of the few impressions. But maybe you have read different ones.

This thread keeps getting better and better. Can't believe some gaffers for sure have it now. Should be getting more impressions soon!!!
 
Screw FFXV. Give me that Porsche. StealthbragGAF is a harsh mistress.

GAF, prepare for my incoming unboxing video next week, straight from front seat of a 2006 Prius! Actually, we could hold an official competition of "most sad place to show off your copy"! Hard to top a release on a game a literal decade in the making for that sort of thing. Bet we could get some real gems. I mean, something has to extend the thread for another 9 days after we run out of gifs.

Despite however this FFXV thing turns out, I do still believe he's a Sony employee and has access to the game that way. I think most (or all?) of his information has been about games developed for Playstation.

Would a video showing the entire game downloading via digital count?

It's going to be slightly more action that watching paint dry, I promise.

For what it's worth, like I said it's completely possible to have access to stuff and yet still be full of shit. It's an unbelievable springboard for trolling.
