Final Fantasy XV Gamescom Active Time Report - CNN reporting live from disaster scene

They should just create a game where you play an Eidolon as the main character.

Heh, i actually spent a lot of time in my high school days making up a game like this in my mind: and old school 16-bit FF where you play as Odin and other summons in humanized forms that cover the various class roles (Odin the Knight, Shiva the black mage, Bahamut the dragoon and so on) in a quest to retrieve their "esper" form, which then you could use in battle.

Fuck it SE should just hire me.

In those games they were just spirits that you would tame in a sense... In xv it seems as though they are deities or rulers that you call or pray to for help.

Yeah, NO.

Being a deity will be generic and bland as it gets especially compared with how Final Fantasy VI treated them giving them personalities and they being the main drive of the plot during the majority of the game.

I agree with this so much. I guess Terra was the closest we ever got.

But, what about Tidus? =P

Yeah, them being "Deities" pretty much sounds like every other incarnation of them for the most part. Basically nebulous beings we only interact with to summon. FFIV did the basic job with this.

And yeah, I will be shocked if it comes close to the level of interaction FFVI gave them.
 
I really think people need to pump the brakes on the Regis redesign hate (especially as it relates to his costume) until we see him in present day.

In the 'Dawn' trailer he's obviously been active in combat (he even has his sword in one hand) and that makes the fact that he's wearing kingly armor not at all absurd. From the video you can see the pinstripe motif is still there, and I would imagine as the kingdom returns to peace, he returns to wearing suits. Everyone just needs to calm down.

I think people would get over the outfit if they didn't totally change his face into someone who doesn't even look related to Noctis. But as far as the clothes go in the trailer it looks like he's wearing a suit underneath the garb anyway.
 
MagnaderAlpha said:
Yeah, it's not armor, and looks more like a kind of cloak. He still has the same pin-striped suit he's seen to be wearing in older trailers underneath.

It's not the same suit. The coat is completely different in style and length. The only similarity is the stripes on the top.

SE needs to show us because the speculation and disappointment will keep on until they do.

I actually quite like the kingly upgrade + sword + suit combo (it's a good dramatic silhouette), it's just the face/age change I'm in mourning for. To quote My Fair Lady, I'd grown accustomed to his face...

Maybe you are right, but there is something called a ceremonial sword.
 
Seems the next "demo" release for everyone isn't really a gameplay demo like Duscae.

*“Tech-demo” for users isn’t for playing the game. It’s not gonna be “game.” It will be provided to see how attractive the world of FFXV is. You may let it rain, you may move monsters by yourself. It’s safe to say that it’s like a tool for debugging. You can see the FFXV world as the developers do.

*We’re trying our best not to cause any negative influence on the final game by preparing “tech-demo.” It’s definitely a hard work. What we decide today will be possible in several months. We can’t just magically create it. No worries, though. Our schedule is well managed.

It's possible they redesigned Regis as a last minute decision after the concept art was finished. I can't really understand what other reason for that.
Click to expand...

Probably. Concept art is just that -- a concept. They don't really have to redraw it if they change something later (we all remember the infamous Chrono Trigger box art).
 
How does the Roen costume thing work, is it S-E who requests new costumes from then when they want to, or is Roen behind, for example, the Noctis' main costume redesign (Tabata did say every costume will still be in the game, but you know what I mean)?

Because if which costume is the main costume (or even only costume for NPCs, who knows) is Roen's call, rather than being for story reasons, couldn't Regis' face redesign be made just to look better with the new outfit they had to use?

Far as I know the Roen costumes were just for the main characters and possibly Luna.

Well if anyone has a say on how entwined the summons are to the world of XV it would be him.

And the summons in the past games from what i recall are nothing like demi-gods or deities, just really powerful magic that certain mages can manipulate.

But to say they never mattered in the other games is flat out wrong. Even in FFXIV they are summoned deities who play an important role due to their destructive nature on the life of the land.

Then you remember wrongly. We don't know if he's right to say that summons will pay a bigger role in XV but saying that they didn't play big roles in past FFs is just wrong.

I already admitted to u the kind of narrative impact they had in games like IV and IX. The question is the degree at which they will be involved relative to the other games.

His statement was worded weird, but when looking at how he described it, I guess he meant importance with comparison to the player. The new summons aren't your slaves to do your bidding, instead you need to beg them for help. I don't know how this will be represented in gameplay or if it will be fun, but that's the impression I've gotten.
 
I think what Tabata meant to say that was unique to XV was the interaction you had with them as part of that world before you could use their power. I guess in relation to the way the lore ties to the gameplay.

Yuna was also doing a lot of begging in those fayth chambers.
 
In previous Final Fantasy games the summons never played a massive part in the main story. They were there, but they were more for combat.

Huh?
I remember him saying FFVI was his favourite FF >_>

EDIT: Oops, it's already being discussed ^^

So Final Fantasy X?
 
Re: the "summons" stuff - people are really trying to give Tabata credit for something the games have been doing for 20 years?

LOL

Edit: Unless the summons have very clearly defined personalities with multiple interactions with the party and everything, they're not going to push the needle any further on summons.
