Is no one going to talk about the character towards the end?? That looked similar to the savior outfit that Lighting wore in Lightening Returns!

It's actually someone that has been around forever, people were afraid she was cut.

They also gave her a name.. Aranea Highwind.

Something feels...off, and this is coming from someone who has either loved or been optimistic about nearly everything that's come out of Versus XIII/XV.

Like... Things seem like a weird combination of twitchy and floaty.

Sometimes Noctis' swords appear around him for a split second, seemingly just because they share a button assignment with what the player's actually doing.
There isn't really an SFX for it - they just appear and disappear. Looks weirdly cheap for a Square game.

And there's a point where he does an attack where he "falls" on the enemy with a spear,but there's no gravity to the animation, it's more like he's slowly "floating" towards the ground.

The swords appear every time he switches his weapon, it's not a random button assignment.

Let's forget there was stealth in the GOAT FF7. Oh wait...it's in FF15 so let's complain. Let's do it Just Cause
4
.
I was complaining just because I hate stealth sequences in non-stealth games. It being optional luckily solves that problem.

At this point I have no doubt that this game will be good. There are only a few things that I think need to be improved for XV to be truly great.

- Improved English voice acting...by a lot. Also, a good localized script.
- Tightening up the gameplay and battle system
- A large variety of weapons and magic
- Polishing up everything else to a level befitting of a Final Fantasy game.
- A good story!

That's all I need SE!!! Give it to me!

Graphics look amazing, combat looks overly crowded and messy to me. I just don't like this action/free roaming combat in an FF.

I'm not into JRPGs, but that looks cool.

This looks more like an action game so it's not very vindictive of what most JRPGs look alike.




My biggest worry about this is the concept of base infiltration. The only game I like that idea is in Metal Gear but I hate doing it in other games. I don't mind stealth sections it's just I don't like outposts and all that shit. It's something we see too much of in western games and it was something I didn't really want in a FF game.


To make things more clear to people, infiltrating bases was described as something to do on the side so like Far Cry and such. But it seems like you can go Just Cause on it? Destroy the whole base or capture it. They weren't very clear. The environments in these bases specifically will be destructible according to the devs.

The weapons appearing around Noctis is the animation of the player switching weapons mid combat.

It's the same Dragoon Lady design from Versus XIII, so it's more of Tabata reusing back the same design Nomura made years back.
 
Best part is that there are not hitstops.

Makes everything so much faster.


C'mon now, the hitstuns where the perfect indicator for weapon impact. It made each hit look generally satisfying. Now every enemy just looks like the're being cut through like paper.

You're telling me they took them ALL out now and not just the heavily exaggerated ones?

Were they complained about that much?

Noctis is a weapon that surpasses metal gear.

This brought back a lot of the hype that died out for me. The better camera seems just right now

Looks really good. Super hyped for March 8D

Seeing someone whose avatar is a piece of fanart I made and posted to gaf a while back is slightly jarring. :p

So are these guys are on vacation, driving in their rad car, rollin' metal gear solid style with floating weapons that they can pick over their heads while phase shifting all willy dilly, all the while deep in some military base?

Who are these kids?

I use to get Final Fantasy. I don't get it much anymore. CECILLLLLLLL!!

If you watched this ATR, you can see they already did those things (except VA, they didn't talk about it).

WHEEEWWWW. Absolutely amazing. So much improvement since Episode Duscae. It's finally looking like its coming along. And there are still so, so many things we haven't even seen yet. Can't wait for the March event.

BELIEVE
 
And it's entirely optional.

You can go in guns blazing (so to speak) if you want.

This is the way it should be. Again, there's nothing wrong with options. It allows players to play the game the way they want to. If you want to try to sneak around the base, you can. if you want to run into battle while blowing caution to the wind, you can. It's when they limit your options when things are "bad".

A prince and his close nakama on a road trip to get back the crystal the big evil empire stole from their kingdom after invading it.

Sounds pretty Final Fantasy to me.

Also, not sure if srs, but there's lots of ppl who genuinely still don't know what this game is about so I answered it genuinely.

I switched to an alt account to ditch my embarrassing tag so I could be an embarrassing Naughty Dog fanboy in peace. Ask me anything!
Looks fking incredible. I am not familiar with Final Fantasy too much. Could anyone familiar with the series tell be how big are these games typically? I hope they are not spoiling too much and this game is going to have lots of content.

Looks much more polished. Hopefully it turns out well. March is the release date announcement?

These games are typically 30-50 hours long. Just guessing here but I don't think they have spoiled a great amount of content so far.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?

I love how they are adding in so many specific animations like the rolling bite. Really adds something to a fight.

I hope each roll while clamped onto Noctis's leg would be cause a little damage.

Final Fantasy games tend to average around 40-60 hours of gameplay from start to finish.

Usually around 40-60 hours, but with the side content you can get up to 100+ out of some of them.

How long?

40-50 hours for main storyline. Double that for side-content.

Everything I've heard in terms of music is great. I think Shimomura should be the Final Fantasy brand composer from now on.

I don't even know what to make of this footage. It looks beautiful, there is no doubting that.

But stealth? Turrets? I mean I don't even know what the hell is happening here. Am I watching Final Fantasy? Because it looks a helluva lot more like Metal Gear or Assassin's Creed....

This footage just made me nervous.

Action RPG looks like Action RPG.

You're probably looking at it as something that should be like prior iterations.
