Interesting, thanks.
Well, between this new gameplay vid and the Ramuh summon one, I am 100% sold. The game looks crazy good, can't wait to play it.
How does one try the demo, is it on psn?

Eh? X combat was turn-based but it definitely wasn't ATB.
Why can't this final fantasy do its own thing and do it well? I mean, I agree that the bro-filled adventure can push people away from the game expecting a more traditional final fantasy but we got a female-lead Final Fantasy with the FFXIII series for an entire generation.
Having a game focus on the male characters in a FF world isn't the worse idea considering that :l.
Besides, Luna (I think that's her name?) becomes a party member at some point in the game, so it isn't like its going to be 100% bro adventure.
I'm not the most avid FF fan at all (appreciated the series and gave FFVII & FFIX a shot, loved there openings and gotta go back & fully beat both before this comes out) but I like what I see with FFXV so far. Hope you enjoy it if you give it a chance when it comes out
!If not, I understand why you wouldn't enjoy it. Maybe FFXVI whenever its announced (or XVII, considering how every other FF game is a MMO; FFX too FFXI MMO, FFXIII too FFXIV MMO) will be the final fantasy that makes you happy

They might be referring to X-2.
How could anyone know as of now if its poor design choice? The dev team has mentioned time and time again that the narrative is closely intertwined with the 4 guys from the get-go back in 2006, so why not trust them, instead of criticizing this?

I have no reason to be excited about this game anymore 
, it reminds me a hack and slash instead a RPG, sadly, and the characters are unappealing to me since i'm no too much into cool k-pop idols. I hope the story is good as seen in old story trailers

Never liked ATB. X round based system is perfect. Either go full action or full round based.

It's probably a good game if you like MMOs but it's nothing more than a spin off really, I don't even class it as a true Final Fantasy game, since gameplay-wise it shares nothing in common with the other games apart from 11.
My bad on that.
Wasn't referring to X-2 since while I loved the game and the systems, fans are definitely split on that game. Part of the spin off/sequel problem the IP developed.
This is what I'm talking about when people think of the MMOs, despite their success. Without FFXI funding shit for so long, who knows where FF and SE would be at this point. Would they even be around to bitch at? lol

It comes with a FF Type-0, a pretty mediocre game. That Ramuh summon was the most interesting thing about it though.
There will be a free demo for everyone later but it doesn't appear to be combat focused.

I mean I like the fact that Luna will be playable in some form that's great, I was just hopping for something permanent. I mean I can't really say it will be bad, I'm sure the game will be a blast. I guess I just like my traditional FF elements is all.
Good thing you aren't "just" going around with your bros giving bro fists & eating brotaterchips.
Alright, thanks. That summon would be amazing on my TV. Going to go downstairs and play that YT vid on my home theatre. Pure awesome.

Game looks fun, though I'd need to get my hands on it before I make any decisions about the combat. Episode Duscae felt pretty bad to me due to many factors (low framerate, enemies felt spongy, often felt swarmed with no proper way to react, enemy animations were hard to read due to so much happening at once), but I'm hoping the new builds have fixed some of my issues. I also really don't know how I feel about instant-stealth take downs in an rpg, it feels kind of cheap if there's no resource tied to it. Maybe have you expend a bit of mana for every takedown? I dunno, I'm sure it'll be balanced somehow. Other than all that, animations and presentation quality are top fucking notch as always for final fantasy.

Gorgeous. Fuck awesome. Cleavage looks nice and nextgen.
Well done.

!And who knows, maybe we will get more classic FF elements announced during the big event thing in March

So they confirmed that Luna joins the party? I thought they said it was just the dudes? Must be remembering wrong.

Wait where does it show luna being playable in some form, iirc the only playable character is noctis and everyone else is AI controlled.
like were all the people let down by it being an action RPG living under a rock or something?
I don't get where all of this is coming from considering one has had at least 2-3 years to get over it by now. FFXV is an action RPG. Not your cup of tea..cool. Then why keep running into threads to let people know about it?
I swear it really feels like people just love to hate things around here and let others know how much they hate it. Is that fun? I mean many people here spend so much time posting about what they don't like. Go post about the things you like...enjoy life. Shit is too short to be this negative all the time. We have known the direction of this game for 10 years...its not going to change into a turn based game anytime soon.
like wow this board is hard to read in the recent months. Nothing is good enough. I think in this pursuit to not be a circlejerk its all become this big echo chamber of miserable people who aren't enjoying their hobby anymore. It used to be fun to talk about games (and other stuff as the other mediums are full of "everything is shit. Let me tell you why" too). god.
I'll probably get banned for this but holy crap, GAF. Lighten up. Lets talk about this we like for once.

I hope you're not expecting them to appear. This is the party we will have.
I think some earlier interviews/ATR's implied that she would become a guest party member at some point(s) of the game, just like Cor. Most likely close to how the quest party members work in FF12, I'd assume, but this is just from my memory.
The gameplay looked pretty good, it's interesting how different the battle system seems to be compared to Duscae.
Love love love that new ost arrangement. It sounds so epic.
Gameplay also looks a lot more smooth and dynamic. Very very pleased with what they showed.
Also i heard we are getting a new demo after they announce a release date in March? wew.
My thoughts as well. If Persona 5 comes out this year, and this... where will it land?

Why is it mandatory to have a female character in the party? FFX-2 has an all female party and I don't think there were people complaining about it so why complain about the opposite. I don't think a female person would fit well though, if you have a full male cast you can do things that you can't do if you have a mixed party. Are you a male or a female? In either case I am sure you have noticed that people behave differently when they have the opposite sex around.
Last generation we had Lightning, a wonderful female lead, so I'm sure there is nothing wrong with having a male lead now.
If the plan has been to have an all-male party for the last 10 years, they're not going to change things because of criticism.
Hell, I have to say I don't even get the criticism for it. There's nothing wrong with an all-male (or all-female, or all-*insert race* etc) playable parties imho. When the game comes out and people genuinely feel the party needed some diversity, fair enough. But as of right now, who cares?

So it will be the main saga FF with the shortest and less variated party since FFI? Man I love JRPG when you can have like 8-10 party members and can swap between them. It keeps the game fresh during the whole gameplay.

And then there are freaks like me who loved the ffxiii battle system. Shit out of luck as they say, lol.
Anyway, XV looks like a fine actionrpg-jpn boy band hybrid. I hope y'all enjoy it.

While it does play like an MMO, you can't discredit it as a "Spin off" or "Not a true Final Fantasy game" when it explicitly has a story focus, like all mainline games, XI included. Tonally, the world is as Final Fantasy as it gets. While the games have had a cyber punk and modern bent to them since VII, ARR manages to recapture the more fantastical aspects of the series in a way fans love.
If you don't regard it as a true Final Fantasy game because of it's gameplay, then FFXII isn't a true one either because it's basically an offline MMO. I guess Final Fantasy XV isn't a true Final Fantasy either because it's action based.
X-2 is actually a good example here, since it shows that the combat system is the least important factor for whether a FF is considered good. X-2 has imo the best implementation of the ATB system of all FF games and is nevertheless a really divisive game. Would FFXIII be considered a better game if it had a traditional ATB System? While there were people who didn't like the combat in XIII it wasn't considered as one of its biggest weaknesses, so I doubt it.
Imo FF was never known or loved for excellent combat. The combat did its job but there have always been lot of JRPG series with way better combat than FF, so I doubt that going back to ATB would be the solution to everything.
Yes, people probably associate the ATB-System with better FFs in the past, but it was never the decisive factor for those games being good imo.

On the other hand the character development and involvement will probably be among the best if not the best in the series. When you have just 4 characters to work on you can really flesh out every single detail. Just look at how the characters interact in Duscae demo, I have honestly never seen anything like that and it is just a demo.
Don't worry, it'll be like Halo or Fallout. The old fans will become fewer and fewer with each release, and before long, it will be like one post in a thousand complaining about sprinting or lack of isometric.

Amazing post.
Final Fantasy games, regardless of how they play, aren't judged solely on their combat system. It's the package as a whole. FFX-2 had, in my opinion the best ATB system, but that didn't save it from it's tonal shift from FFX's somber air to FFX-2's J-Pop let's-go-girl-power! vibe.
FFXIII's combat was very entertaining, flashy, quick, and had enough depth if you attempt the high level hunts. The graphics were nice, and the music was pretty good. Too bad I didn't love the characters or story.
Some people, mostly 30+. And it doesn't matter as they are aiming for the teen market with this one, as they always do.
I've just read someone talking about reading fight animations in a FF game(not knocking on you). And yet some people ask "what do you mean with this isn't a true FF game for you?".
The game looks good for what it is. But the outrage at people being sad that their childhood RPG serie with nearly a dozen games is is as good as gone is a bit silly. I'm sure those people had no problem with Versus being a spin off title.

I love the battle system of FFXIII and XIII-2. The people who hates it is the people that played the game on auto-mode using Lightning always as Commando.
Man, playing XIII and XIII-2 using all the magic, buffs, debuffs. Having to choose fast and thinking about priority was amazing. I feel bad for all the people who couldn't enjoy that because Square-Enix added the "auto-battle" shit. For the 1st time in FF story buffing and debuffing was A THING and people hated it and choosed to grind and overlevel to kill the boss battles (the hardes bosses on the whole FF saga) instead of using strategy and tactics.
What a shame.
