Really going to have to disagree with this. Nomura's designs for FFX's cast, minus Kimahri anyway (never really cared for Nomura's non-human characters), were in every way superior to XV's, not simply in terms of composition (a touchy subject, given how often people complain about it being all dudes), but variety as well. Personally, their looks are much too similar and much too bland for my liking. I say this without even counting X in my personal top three favorite FF titles.
I've tried caring about XV again, but the more I see of it, the less interested I become. I'm more interested in FFXII: The Zodiac Age more than anything else at this point in respect to that franchise (which has pretty much everything to do with XII being the last FF that I've actually liked, not having had the chance to try Type-0 as of yet).
Felt that the Xbox conference was underwhelming, as it usually is for me. Not expecting Sony to match last year's, but at the same time, I don't picture it being too hard for them to leave more of an impression upon me compared to what MS had to offer.
They announced two home consoles. That doesn't happen every year!
Tidus' design is garbage, and this is coming from a fanboy of X
XV designs just look like japanese designer clothes. I don't see anything terrible about it, nothing super impractical about the designs.
You also have to remember that these characters are heavily designed to be appealing to women too. Japanese women will love that type of yaoi bait.

And neither were of interest to me. There's nothing that Xbox has to offer me in terms of games that I feel I must have that I can't just get with a PS4 instead, as well as many things Xbox doesn't have (no particular interest in any of the Xbox exclusives).
Tidus' design is pretty much just whatever to me. Not Nomura's best work, but not his worst either (plus, his signature weapon, Brotherhood, was also pretty cool).
That's basically it for me. Other than just being too plain and samey for my liking, they also manage to prove too ordinary. If going for a more "grounded", yet still fantastical setting, I felt that VIII's general art direction was much better.
I rather wonder just how successful appealing to that demographic would actually prove, if done deliberately. A survey would be interesting to read, if one were to be conducted.
Yeah, & there's no point in buying one of them when you know there'll be a better, stronger, nicer one coming.
Same here. I'm still glad I had/have a 360, but as for this gen, the only things interesting me in a X1 are Dead Rising & Rare Replay.
I personally think the ZJS is the worse of the two. Then again I also prefer the original sphere grid.
If the 12 remake stays only on PS4 I'll buy that system next year. My biggest problem with 12 was always how poorly it ran on the PS2.
my friend has the same issue with the IZJS lol
Also, i didnt really see much of a huge difference between the two sphere grids, but then again, im not one of those people who fucked with the arena battles at all. Blitzball was my end game

Pc game show is the best press conference nobody is watching
Preferred Rikku's standard X look to her X-2 redesign, but that's me.
I will pretty much never understand any strong negative feelings regarding either of those two. Vaan was rather inoffensive as far as I was concerned, not to mention not the real focus of the story (it was really more about Ashe than anyone else, I'd say). The worst thing I can say about him was that he could've used a shirt. As for Penelo, she got less focus than pretty much everyone else, and was ultimately benign whenever she actually did. Would've been nice if they managed to include more material meant to develop her properly, most of which was apparently left on the cutting room floor from what I've read.
XII is one of the rare JRPGs where I don't dislike anyone in the main cast. Looking forward to the remaster, but not the idea of being permanently locked into classes, which I hope will be changed.

Killing Floor 2 free for the weekend is cool, don't really care about anything else I've seen.

I don't mind Vaan as the every man who gets swept up into the adventures of Ashe and Balthiar, Penelo is really the only character in 12 that felt out of place.
I thought it was an interesting way to tell the story and pretty novel for FF at least. have they announced the release date yet?
DMC5 must be announced.
She's Vaan's sidekick/ignored love interest. Basically there to make up numbers.

I might've started like Indestructible unironically. It's a weird feeling.

Exactly, could it have been done better? Absolutely, but there was a lot about 12 I really liked.
The general assessment is that Vaan and Penelo serve to provide the viewpoint of ordinary citizens, more or less (compared to the other members of the group).
Most games that would be of interest to me probably won't show up until then, admittedly. But since E3 wasn't too bad last year, I won't count it out just yet.
Xenoblade X had the same narrative trick and it worked better there I think. Square would probably like another pass at FF12's script, but sadly that's not going to happen.

It looks like Adult Swim is doing some Time Rift thing, going back to 2001. Might explain that being there......
It is, which leads me to thinking they probably got it on a special occasion just like then.

Seems that's on Funimation at this point, since it was one of their rescues years ago after Bandai Visual shuttered in the US (along with things like Witch Hunter Robin and Cowboy Bebop). No idea why there's been no word on a re-release after so long.
Yup. Heard it loud and clear.

Sunrise hasn't sent Funi the materials they need. Cowboy Bebop and (eventually) Escaflowne are the only Funi rescued Sunrise shows that have been re-released.
Ah, so that's why then. Appreciate the info.
