FINAL FANTASY Community Thread: XV Mainline Entries and Counting
- Thread starter Kagari
- Start date
Well that's encouraging. I e-mailed their support to see if they can can comment and hopefully I can be certain on what angle to take.
Frankly, I understand not wanting to keep the order. I'm tempted to just get the Day One edition but, I'm still considering all of my options.
If I didn't love action figures I'd probably not even consider snagging it, but I would love to have a Noctis figure in my collection
Though, honestly I prefer smaller (~6" scale or so) figures like figma, and Play Arts recently showed off the first of a new line of 6" Figures -- Sora from KH III. So... now I'm thinking they might release a 6" Noctis and I'll wish I didn't have the larger Play Arts... But they haven't actually announced any other figures so I can't accurately predict.

it also helps if you are nearish one of their distribution centers too
I'm sure it does... I'm in Northern California, do you happen to know how far I am? haha.

im pretty sure you are really close to one, as I am almost 100% sure there is one in SoCal.
I have been shipped from that one and one in Tennessee before

So I'm probably a rare beast in that I've had a near total media blackout on FFXV.
I have played FFVII-XII, didn't play XI or XIII series, played a bit of XIV. Played Kingdom Hearts 1 and while I appreciated the 'real time' combat it felt clunky but with something there that could be improved.
Things I know about FFXV -
1. It used to be the spin off action game of XIII
2. It's open world / real time battles ala kingdom hearts?
3. It's had divisive demos that may not really represent what it is today.
Things I don't know-
1. Is it still in the world of XIII / Should I finally dust off the copy of XIII I bought way back when and play it?
2. How improved on Kingdom Hearts is the combat? I'm not expecting DMC here but if the story and characters are good and it's at least a jump up from KH 1 on PS2, I'm happy.
3. How open world are we talking? Ubisoft shit?
4. IS THIS GAME GOING TO BE GOOD (Loaded question I know). I'm not interested in bullshiting about FF entries, just wanna know if it's worth getting. I'll be buying it on PS4, not pro or anything like that.
EDIT- Slightly Off Topic but is the FFXII remaster coming out this year or next year?

1. It seems to have no connection to XIII anymore. Don't worry about playing XIII. Though give it a shot if you want, most people hate it, but I quite enjoyed it when I played it for the first time recently.
2. The future Kingdom Hearts games GREATLY improved on the combat already, but to be fair FFXV is quite a different animal than Kingdom Hearts. From what I've seen the combat looks surprisingly deep and has some of the best animations of any game period.
3. The game is supposed to start more open and eventually become more linear near the end as the story focuses down to the real struggle. The open world seems like an interesting place, but we'll have to play it to really know.
4. I think so.
FFXII Zodiac Age is next year.

Heard back from Square Enix Online Store support.
Good to know... but why do they offer all those shipping options then for pre-orders? Some of them are very expensive. Ehh, whatever...
So, I guess I can count on getting it on release date or maybe the day after if I'm unlucky. Good enough for me.

Huh. That's super interesting. I remember when preordering they said standard would take 10-15 days of transit time or something. I think it was an extra $50 for 1-3 day ship time.
Wish we could get a clear answer.
Like others, I'm also on the fence about cancelling. That price. Ugh.

I would be funny if he makes him 100% faithful to Versus XIII instead of XV. KH versions of FF characters are never the canonical versions so it would not be out of place.
Honestly I am surprised I still feel the hype. I think it's because my expectations were tempered from the demos.

I've always held off FFXIV due to fear of losing my life. But it's been so cheap lately for base game and expansion. I just don't know anymore.

Could anyone help me out with this?
So I just bought a Vita from ebay and its being shipped here soon so I've been looking at what games to get (plus the ones from PS Plus). I was thinking of buying a new copy of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD. I have the PS4 version that I honestly haven't touched yet due to other games but I was thinking the portable version might be great to have and then I could also use cross-save.
So is the Vita version of those games good or should I just stick with the console version and play it someday?

I asked this in another thread, but didn't get an answer there.
So, I watched the movie and the brotherhood anime. Am I all caught up on the pre-game lore? Or is there more stuff to consume before the actual game comes out?
The Vita version of the game runs well, and looks alright, if that's what you're asking. It's definitely not a bad purchase in that regard.

With your question, you are basically caught up but if you want to know more, there is the A King's Tale game (GameStop exclusive n the USA) that's all about King Regis when he was younger. You also have the drama CD that's coming with the Deluxe Edition and the UCE.
Also, yeah I was wondering if the game ran well with no serious issues.
It's not like ffxi in that you can pop in and out yet still not be that behind. One of the better FF stories / universes in awhile too.

I think that was pre-order only unfortunately.
The only pre-order theme I've ever seen resurface on PSN was the Skullgirls theme.

I hope it gets ported to PS4 next year or sometime soon.
So I'm currently playing Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and I'm fucking loving it, how much in common do you expect FF15 to have with it? I'm really hyped for XV but I feel like my expectations may be a bit off.
How does it compare to Witcher 3 and other open world games as far as..
Map accessibility? From the pics I see the FF15 map looks fucking massive, which is what I'm looking forward to the most. Will we be able to walk the entire map? And invisible walls in the country side, cities, etc?
Depth? Will there be tons of side quests, treasure hunt equivalents, etc?
Loot? Will you be able to get new gear, Armour, weapons, etc?
Will internet connection be required (for PS4?)(as far as we know?). I don't have Internet access at my home right now.
I wasn't able to play the demo unfortunately. Thanks.

Actually to also quote Caim I believe you still do. I bought the game back in June and I got the Midgar theme. So you should be good.

Just letting you guys know right now that the title for the FF15 OT should be "Bromance of the two kingdoms."

I'm moving along nicely in FF13. Game so far seems great, i'm liking the different characters a lot.
Have some questions regarding the general combat stuff.
Is it bad to use auto battle in every battle?
Should I set up a team manually with ravagers, sentinels? Right now I'm sticking with what the game gave me.
I also notice that I'm too slow on switching between paradigms.

Really loving XV so far. Haven't had this much with a FF in a long time. I also will be replaying VIII again and blogging about it on tumblr similar to this blog (which you should check out if you're a VII fan) during the break. Really excited about it and I'll post a link here if anyone is interested!
So I just beat my first Final Fantasy ever. I have been playing this series since I was a kid, and the closest I ever came to completing something was when I got to the final boss in Crisis Core. But this time it actually happened, and I could happily put the controller away after the credits had rolled in Final Fantasy XV.
Noctis also happens to be my absolute favorite protagonist in the entire series. I just love everything about him, and I am stoked for the DLC coming up next year. I am far from done with XV, as I am going to complete all the post-game content and level up.
But now I am also looking to get back and catch up in Final Fantasy XIV, and maybe even start another singleplayer adventure, perhaps Final Fantasy VI; as I have just modded this on PC.

Going through FFIV for the first time. The 3D version. It's great. I enjoy how the bosses are actually putting up a fight and not getting steamrolled like so many other FFs I have played.
Is the 3D version of FFIII considered the hardest in the series?

Nah, out of the NA releases, NES FF1 remains the king. 3D FF3 isn't really that difficult if you're knowledgeable of the game's mechanics.
A Final Fantasy for fans and first-timers.
(Yeah I know that's not what you said exactly, heh)
Careful with community thread- we generally don't spoiler tag games older than a year or two.
Any way to control FF VIII's high-speed booster? It's not completely over the top like FF IX's is, but it'd be nice if I could lock it to 1.5x or 2x speed or something like that. Considerably faster than regular but still playable.
Steam version, if that matters.
e: better yet, would be great if there was a way to get cheat engine's speedhack to work with the game

Yeah, I'll be careful. I'm currently playing FFXIV and will spend the next 200 hours try to catch up. I really want to complete it, and then I'll get back to FFVI, and FFXV when the updates hit.
