Worth it.

Gotta admit, that mansion looked really impressive. I liked that part of the trailer a lot.

It leaves me wondering though, what percentage of the game and its battles are going to be highly scripted like that.

Hopefully, we can visit that mansion later in the game and loot all the shit inside and sell it for gil. That would be cool.
 
Watching the gameplay really did reminded me of Uncharted lol. I can totally dig an more action oriented style of game, but will this sit well for most FF fans?

I am all for amazing scripted sequences in FF... as long as there is open-ness in other sections of the game.

So far, from what they said about Versus being relatively "open world", I am hopeful.
 
"Fantasy based on reality"

Yeah, they definitely haven't scrapped the modern stuff. Simply a different locale or at least a different look in the day.

Yes for me. I like FF being able to experiment with new styles. XIII was not right but XII was. FF should be a series to play with new mechanics where they can. And they have been. This is just the most radical change. And I like what I am seeing. There will be naysayers but not everyone can be pleased and in time they may change their opinion.

Btw, the Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts trailers made me so, f'ing happy.

@Nikoro word on if those are exclusive to PS4?

@Eric_R_Miller Stay tuned! 3rd party should be able to answer that.

Please say yes at tomorrow's meeting S-E. :)

Versus isn't supposed to have an epic love story, it's more about Noctis and his relationship with friends. Not to say Noctis won't have a love interest in the game, but it won't be a focus in the game, not in the scope of games like FFX's Tidus <3 Yuna or XIII's Snow <3 Serah where it's a huge driving force of the story.

Glad to hear. I wouldn't mind a KH sort of take on it. Sora is all <3333 for Kairi but it's not this all encompassing thing that the writers can't really manage anyway (Except in X. X is amazing)

Notics is the best looking FF male in a while tbh. The internet is going to have a field day with it. So stylish.
 
Yeah, Noctis don't need no stinkin love interest. He's got the whole Sasuke vibe going on already. He should just be badass with his bros. This is supposed to be one of those bromance road trip inspired stories.

And for me FF romance is hit or miss. Cloud and Tifa were cool, Squall and Rinoa were aggravating, Garnet and Zidane were annoying, Tidus and Yuna were a bit corny but I liked them, Vaan and Penelo were so subtle that it was inoffensive, Snow and Serah were nauseating.
 
That's pretty funny.

I mean it looks great, but as of two years ago a chunk of GAFers knew this would be happening in some capacity. Or at the very least thought Square would be dumb not to do something like this.
 
the style and graphics are insane. But i need a slower gameplay video to understand how to play this. And fyeahh.. Leviathan and i think a behemoth enemy looked slick. Great character designs all around.

Do I have the honor of having the first avatar of this unnamed queen?

You didn't lie.
Vaan and Penelo seemed like such a cop out to me though. I wouldn't even call it a love story At first I thought "oh ok childhood friends blah blah, cool whatever" then I was like "Oh he's going to fall for the princess, which is kind of fucked up because this game keeps screwing Penelo over anyway" and then it went back to childhood friend crush but they're mostly only allowed to gaze at each other because this game hates Penelo.
 
yeah my apprehension towards nomura is here in the design of the characters with their stupid looking junior high kid hairstyles.

but oh god does the gameplay look fluid as fuck. and hans gruber as your father. day one. trailer was nice.
 
How to play it is very next-gen: run forward through the setpiece laden linear hallways, hit the button prompts, don't die (don't worry, not difficult). Your reward for these strenuous 10 minutes of gameplay? A 30 minute cutscene, of course.

Excuse my skepticism, but FF has been "less than great" for a long time and the few gameplay clips shown, interspersed between lengthy prerendered cutscenes, were little hallways with either unimpressive rolling/dodging and tepid sword slashing or Uncharted style setpiece traversal.

However I look forward to seeing lengthier gameplay oriented videos on the chance it is any good. It's been a long time since I could say I was excited about a new FF.
 
Um XV is not linear where did you get that from? Also LOL @ you saying linear hallway... That's exactly what a hallway anywhere is

I see where you are coming from.... I'm hoping there is more meat to the game beyond scripted sequences too.

This game is a complete sausage-fest. Twelve characters--two of them female? Really?

I still really fear that Versus became XV to serve as a buffer zone; like there isn't another team making XVI and XV is playing stop gap so Toriyama has enough time to get his sweaty fingers around XVI after Lightning Returns.

And I don't think I could take the series going Toriyama->MMO->Kingdom Hearts->Toriyama again. I think I might just quit it all together.

I really hope their "Future of Final Fantasy" showcase confirms that there is a XVI in development that Toriyama has nothing to do with, because, seriously, fuck that guy.

Yeah I'm hoping the scripted sequences are just sparse. In the 2011 trailer we saw a big field that seemed, uh...game-y. Hope to see more of that.
 
i think sony has until TGS to confirm to SE if they want to make FF and KH exclusive.

sony i guess is still deciding.. to pay or not

Yeah FFXII skimped on the romance department. Which didn't bother me too much, but they kept hinting at Vaan/Penelo and Fran/Balthier but never really officialized it. In Revenant Wings, though, Penelo gets more love. Don't know if you played that game. As for Fran and Balthier, you can just tell that they're doing each other off screen, but it remains forever a mystery.

It sounds like Sony already has the luxury to have an exclusive but they have to choose which one. I'll say choose Final Fantasy XV. I don't really care about Kingdom Hearts 3 if it's multi-plat.
 
the trailer looks great, but how is this different from anything else SE has been doing for the past 15years? release cool looking trailer followed by delay after delay until the game is ready to come out... 4 years later.

We already did that bit, it's seven years later already. It's coming, next year, it has to.
 
Is Square Enix conference public ?
As in do we get to have more information about XV, release date and maybe gameplay videos ?
Game looks absolutely phenomenal but I hope it won't be to shallow on the gameplay mechanics side of things…

I don't mind if there are well-polished action/QTE moments interspersed with some stealth/sneaking levels, but the bulk of the game involves roaming open locations and grinding
with your posse
...

Let's hope that some of that 7-year development was spent on coming up with sidequests and silly minigames like the FFs of old. But those are pleasant distractions at best so what kind of revolutionary change are you hoping for?

Ok then I can start to get interested in this game.
I was worried it would have a chessy love story ala FFVIII and the characters already looks bad , but I like the premise of the gameplay and the trailer certainly looked great.
 
I honestly can't imagine how the gameplay will turn out.

Looks great though. Probably the first time that a final fantasy art style impressed me.
