In an act of unprovoked aggression, the Militesi Empire invaded the Dominion of Rubrum. Imperial dreadnoughts swarmed the skies, assailing the unsuspecting countryside under the banner of the White Tiger. From amidst the flames of the besieged dominion, the Vermilion Bird rose in defiance, her crystal granting magic and mighty eidolons that her disciples might cast out the technologically advanced aggressors.

Thrust into the tumult of war, the fate of the world and its four crystals now rests on the shoulders of fourteen brave, young warriors.

How long is a typical playthrough?
It takes about 25 hours to beat the game once, however, you're encouraged to play through at least two more times to see the entire story.

I'm still having mixed feelings about this game, but I decided to pre-order it today and I'll be picking up my copy tomorrow

I'm hoping that it surprises me

Hatchtag · Mar 17, 2015

It's so generous of Square to include this free bonus with the FFXV demo.

Various Artists · Mar 17, 2015

Good op. Looking forward to playing this week.

Certinty · Mar 17, 2015

Nice and simple OT.

I made a huge mistake pre-ordering this on the Xbox One instead of PS4. Totally forgot about remote play when ordering.

MihowZa · Mar 17, 2015

Played for 4 hours so far today. It's been too long since I've played a FF game and it's definitely lovely and maybe my favorite opening cinematic ever. You can tell (probably obvious) that it was a handheld game but everything is fun right now.

Kyzer · Mar 17, 2015

eagerly awaiting my package...

Jetku · Mar 17, 2015

What are the difficulty options?

I don't typically like to replay games. Can I beat it once and then just YouTube a secret ending? Or do I really have to beat the game multiple times to get the whole story?

Nintenyearold · Mar 17, 2015

I need to stop clicking on topics about this game... my temptation to buy it this week keeps rising!

akidnamededdy · Mar 17, 2015

It's been a while since I've been excited about an FF game...picking up tomorrow.

Easy, Normal, Hard, Expert pretty much.

JetBlackPanda · Mar 17, 2015

Yes! Seems short enough to get me to bloodborne. I'm legit excited to play type-0 and Duscae.

mp1990 · Mar 17, 2015

Just pre ordered mine,almost lose the opportunity of getting FF15,can't wait for it ! It's a shame i'll probably only pick it up by the end of April

Stone Ocean · Mar 17, 2015

Can't wait to try this out. Looks fantastic

regardless of the reason why I'm getting it in the first place

How Hard is Hard for a first playthrough?

Remote play works pretty well from what I tested.

Yoshichan · Mar 17, 2015

Bought too many fucking copies of Bloodborne so I can't even afford this

This would've been a good time spender while waiting for it.

Kagari · Mar 17, 2015

Enemy levels are increased by 30.

komorebi · Mar 17, 2015

Its been a long time coming, etc

Nice OT, excited for HD Rem!

lol. Maybe you will have some cash by the time Lightning Returns hits PC

Can you even beat the game on hard off a clean save? lol

Gbraga · Mar 17, 2015

...

yeah ok I'll just start on Normal then.

Huh? I don't remember difficulty options, but it's been a while. Is my memory terrible or are those a new addition?

New.

JetBlackPanda · Mar 17, 2015

Easy mode for me..

Welp. Guess I'll start on normal then.

Unless there's a way to do it with a clean save, Expert sounds like the "New Game Plus" mode

SDCowboy · Mar 17, 2015

Not gonna lie, the easier mode is intriguing me to pick this up.

Edge_Maverick · Mar 17, 2015

Surreal. It's finally coming.

So what does that mean? i find most rpgs pretty easy, but at the same time I don't want to be frustrated.

I have played many jrpgs but Ive bever played type zero before. What do you suggest?

GunBR · Mar 17, 2015

Which time the game

(and the demo)

will be avaible at US-PSN?

ULTROS! · Mar 17, 2015

According to the trophy list... It's not required to defeat the game in hard mode to get a trophy?

Go_Ly_Dow · Mar 17, 2015

Can difficulty be switched on the fly? Or once chosen it sticks with that save file?

Would like to start with Normal but bump it up to Hard if the challenge isn't that great.

devious.one · Mar 17, 2015

Bah... Still torn on whether I should start my playthrough of this tomorrow or wait until I'm done with Bloodborne. I doubt i'll have this beat by next Tuesday.

Ralemont · Mar 17, 2015

Is there New Game + for the subsequent playthroughs to see the whole story, to keep levels/weapons/etc?

Stone Ocean · Mar 17, 2015

Wich time the game

Probably only when the store updates tomorrow night

They were only for replaying missions before, but you select them for the main game now.

Anyway, good OT Kagari.

Let's see what Gaf's impression of the game is.

What the fuck

Einbroch · Mar 17, 2015

Gamefly shipped this to me today. I forgot I even had it in queue. Oh well, looks good, so I'm pretty excited!

Well, unless its masked as a hidden trophy than if you didnt see a hard mode trophy then I guess not.

Kagari · Mar 17, 2015

Stone Ocean said:

Yes. Expert unlocks after one playthrough.

rrc1594 · Mar 17, 2015

Buying this need some FF in my life.

HooYaH · Mar 17, 2015

2 times to see the secret ending?

burgerdog · Mar 17, 2015

So this is a short game if I'm only interested in one playthrough? Hoping that's the case. Either way, the game is on its way!

Kagari · Mar 17, 2015

Hasemo said:

I believe Cadet (Easy) was added for this new release.

Dead Prince · Mar 17, 2015

grace plz. hurry up and flip that switch.

AdmiralMikey · Mar 17, 2015

Picking up this and Resident Evil Revelations 2 tomorrow. It's a great day to be nostalgic for game series from the 90's!!

Geg · Mar 17, 2015

I will definitely be playing this up until the demo finishes downloading

But seriously I'm excited for this. I hope it lives up to expectations

Mortemis · Mar 17, 2015

Excited to try this out. 25 hours seems nice actually, glad it isn't all too long. We'll see if it grabs me enough for me to do multiple playthroughs, I hope it's good.

Is there any drawback to playing on Cadet? Like reduced exp or areas inaccessible etc

Mission rewards I think.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
