I have no words.
Sleeping goddess, Etro, I guess? Sleep is one of the common themes with Noctis always seen sleeping and being tired (in the '11 trailer in the car being woken up by Driver-san, in the TGS trailer in the car and in the demo
at the beginning where he wakes up last which I think is a subtle hint, too

Man I wish the code for the demo was sent to my email, it is going to take some days for my copy of type 0 to arrive to my country T~T

Imagine the steelbox with that logo
Hope the box art is black with this logo instead of the usual white we get from FF

I only want one if it's the same as the american cover for ICO.

Actually, the remasters of the PSP GoW games had the cutscenes completely remade in 1080p.

Dat EU though
We'll get a crappy cover again like we did with FFXIII because now SE thinks that Europe = NA

You're joking, but...
I hope not :/ Having to kill Etro (though she killed herself in the FFXIII lore at least and thus humans were formed by her blood), Pulse or Bhunivelze again in the end would be so predictable and anticlimactic. This is one of the tropes of FF that maybe should be axed for once.
The early trailers were a gloomy guy with gloomy music teleporting all over the place and destroying fools. The game play we have seen is the gloomy guy with his friends and upbeat music teleporting all over the place, destroying fools. Of course it will be different if you change the music and throw friends into the mix.

Sounds like an improvement from the XIII series.

Found a fan mock-up. It would be pretty hilarious if Square used that art since it has the older Prompto design.

...Do you remember what open world games looked like back on the PS2?
That's better than what we have right now?

This is better than DMC 4?
Sustainablility is an entirely different discussion.

Because blue and orange.
Please don't. :0
Ignis looks badass tho...

I liked the image of Noctis sitting on the throne, that would be a good boxart.
We haven't seen Noctis on his throne since the versus days

I have yet to see any gameplay in a modern city settings since Versus 13 was renamed to FF15.
It's been all Duscae and Accordo since E3 2013.
Versus 13 looked so much more interesting than much of what's been shown so far of FF15.

I said 'Late' PS2/Early PS3.
Yes, I'd prefer if games still had graphics like that than what we have now.
And back on topic.
Blue and orange could actually happen for this game =X
Hopefully whoever makes the cover is a fan of early games in the series...
It'll probably be blue and orange >.>
That's not entirely true. During TGS 2014 they did a few demos of tech and battle gameplay right in front of the Tokyo government building. A quick search turned up this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMuQeqTsUgk

What you said was
Which you then later explained that you'd prefer that they focus everything on gameplay than on graphics, which gives your argument a completely different spin. I was actually about to edit to account for that since I continued reading on.
But yes, we'll drop it.
Nah, I'm talking about gameplay stuff like the old trailers had with the behemoth fights in the streets (destructible cars?), and mecha tanks in the alley ways. Also that clip with Noctis and the group running across a city bridge while bombardments are happening.
Versus 13 was hype.
I want to know if that's still in the game; burned out on Duscae especially.
You don't really think they scrapped Noctis' hometown, do you? Obviously they will show those parts from the Versus trailer someday again and you can bet it will look amazing. Besides there was gameplay in that same city you mentioned at daytime:

Also see these recent FFXV artworks from the art director's presentation:
EDIT: Lol, beaten twice. Haven't refreshed before posting.
Yea best part of episode duscae getting released is more info on story, characters and the rest of the game.
Well considering that city location is the same one in the TGS 2014 video I linked you, I'd say yes, that location is still in the game.
Well they pretty muh had to focus the marketing on demo content and gameplay , i'm sure come E3 they will go back to the more epic sections.

It's because of the reactions to the initial re-reveal, I think. Everyone was busy shitting their pants over how linear and scripted the game looked, so this emphasis on the exact opposite (not a city, but a big forest/plains area, and completely open) in Duscae is the result.

I wonder if Active Time Report frequency will end up dropping off a cliff after Duscae drops.

They probably felt that they had no other choice. It's quite obvious that they want to not only get the game out the door as quickly as possible, but also keep hype to maximum levels.
I'm extremely excited to see what 15 will bring to the table.
I'll be honest that with so many years and changes my hype is beyond deflated. The demo footage looks great, but I still feel like the original concept for the combat we had back when it was Versus 13 is long gone. The original gameplay looked like Kingdom Hearts on acid, and I was thrilled to play that game.
I hope this is still that game gameplay wise once you hit higher levels... Tuesday is a BIG day for SE I feel.

It's times like this I'm glad I've pretty much been on brown out. I've only seen a few things.

They had no choice they had to go all out and they over delivered, just imagine if the demo had released in summer it would've probably been a more better/polished experience..However, the word delay doesn't suit well with the fanbase at this point.
I think it's only too much for our small hardcore circle, though. The general public only saw a lot of headlines which was good to create more awareness of the game on mainstream sites in the last few days before ED's release. Most of those people only read the big articles shared on FB/Twitter and most certainly didn't watch all those hour-long ATRs since TGS, or Wan & Sun's presentation, etc. Of course we did and that's why we feel oversaturated.
I already told my little anecdote: a lot of my friends are passionate gamers and buy a lot of the biggest games, but they're not hardcore forum-goers and don't watch every single event/livestream (only E3s where we kick back with a few beers and watch it together). They still haven't seen a lot of the demo but are hyped by the positive press previews of last week and look forward to it.

I know, but I have the og collection lol (GOW 1 and Two)
Jesus, that concept art is exactly more of what I want to see from FF15.
To hell with Duscae :/
Wait, people were concerned this game would be linear?
FF13 Saga has haunted this franchise for too long.

Who here will be making videos/streams of the demo btw?
But yeah, I can understand peoples complaints with the battle system changing. That being said, I won't really say it changed for worse before I get to play it. Battles still look just as hectic as the Versus videos.
You know what looks like Kingdom Hearts on acid?... Kingdom Hearts
