The digital issue is apparently live.

I can't access it for some reason

 

[Arkeband]

We getting Morrowind up in FFXV.

The branching decisions are probably like CC so just for side missions.

We also got a name for the dog I think,

Spoiler

Umbra

I'd assume the branching would be more like Birth By Sleep's magic creation system than Morrowind, which was basically picking effects and moving sliders up and down.

 

[Samimista]

Some tidbits from GI (credit to lunafreya at gamefaq)

-You can make branching decisions.

-The game have magic synthesis to create new spells.

-There will be a growth system where you can spend ability points on weapon skills, Noctis, the party, bonuses…

Am excited for the magic synthesis.

This game this GAME

Is going to be fucking amazing

 

[MilkBeard]

I would play a badass old dudes spin off with these guys standing in for the main cast.

Yup. Hopefully we get some good flashback scenes in game.

 

[Philippo]

Gonna avoid all the video footage, but will at least get the text summaries coming soon, i can't miss those mechanics details! Hope GI's articles aren't too spoilery.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Scans are out

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Gonna avoid all the video footage, but will at least get the text summaries coming soon, i can't miss those mechanics details! Hope GI's articles aren't too spoilery.

That's why I've been preaching to mark side quests or story related stuff like summons and whatnot in spoiler tags.

 

[KupoNut]

Judging from the magazine and what GameInformer says about their preview footage, we're getting A LOT of content and info from the early hours of the game, so people who want to stay spoiler free should maybe only read the big bullet points.

 

[DragoonKain]

I rarely get magazines anymore, but I'll try and pick up that issue. Can't wait.

 

[Venom Fox]

Super excited for the GI digital issue. Someone hit me up when the Android Version goes up!

You will watch, you can't avoid the Hype

It begins.

Hopefully someone gives a spoiler free summary

Amazing cover, this game is looking better every gif I watch

 

[Philippo]

Now that i think about it the artwork reminds me of the British Royal Family Holiday cards lol

I swear if they start selling postcards with GREETING FROM THE CAELUMS written on them or teacups with Noctis&Regis faces i'll buy the fuck out of everything.

You will watch, you can't avoid the Hype

Heck no, i've been waiting this game for too long, i don't want the best bits to be spoiled 6 months earlier.

[Mr. RHC]

Seems pretty obvious that the painting of the four warriors is Regis and crew.

I think so.

Sounds great.

Well, we can make sort of make sutble connections between Regis' squad and Noctis':

• Regis and Noctis are father and son.
• Cidney's surname is Aurum (Gold) and Prompto's surname is Argentum (Silver). While Prompto and Cid himself might not be direct relatives, they both use guns and have a similar relationship. And Prompto wasn't tied to the aristocracy when he was young like Gladio and Ignis were, so there should have been a reason to let him be close to Noctis even though he was a bad influence for the prince.
• Ignis was trained by someone from the Family Guard to protect Noctis since he was young. Cor is the head of the royal family guard, so he likely trained Ignis.
• The old guy which we don't know anything about yet resembles Gladio and in one of the recently revealed artworks, he appears to be sort of redesigned, and wields Gladio's weapon, they could be father and son.

I think all four of them are related.

Sounds like canon. Is this the FFXV A-Team?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Iedolas still looks WAY too much like Xehanort imo :/

You mean, they MAY NOT use it?

Sorry for a dumb question, but is the only way to get this issue digitally to sub for 12 months? Can I not just buy this one issue digitally?

 

[21XX]

I hope not, and doubt it honestly. I like watching a set, well done story play out rather than a bunch of non-canon stuff

Then you must be playing something other than JRPGs.

 

[Jigolo]

Think I'm gonna go ahead and buy this physical to go with my game. When does it go on sale at Gamestop?

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Don't do drugs

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Wow, really?

 

[Makoto Yuki]

That is the most expensive knee brace I have ever seen.

Can't wait for more news. Uncovered and now this? SE is pushing, I'm glad to see them doing right by this game.

Someone said mid way in this month, for like 4-7$

If you download our free Ipad or Android app, which is on the bottom of our cover reveal page, you can buy a single issue or subscribe digitally.

Not trying to promote here (though I guess I am) just trying to answer the question.

Why is Regis holding Willen Dafoe in a wig?

Hoping that Noctis has a beard like Regis' by the end of the game.

 

[Aters]

And thus the war began......

 

[chozen]

Hmmmmmmmm, I'm sure they have hundreds of concept arts, not sure if I'd like this one as the front cover just yet

 

[Philippo]

Jesus.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Don't do drugs

LOL

I think the dog is Fenrir in his normal state.

Nice catch!

I think Regis crew Cid is Paw-paw Cid's son. Unless he aged way faster than everyone else for some reason.

 

[Boke1879]

This issue is definitely a must own for me. The artwork, 20 page spread and the fact that this game is coming out this year after 10 years... This is a huge piece of gaming history.

 

[SPAW]

So fucking right! SE get on it!

 

[Boke1879]

Yep give me that reversible cover

 

[Kagari]

So the game starts with
