Squeenix Final Fantasy 15

[Hyperion]

Would have loved to see what could have been had this game remained Versus 13, and giving 15 to a team with expertise in different games, like they did with 12 (RIP Yiazmat). The Yakuza inspiration and subsequent M rating really would have shown Square Enix was back to taking risks and treading new ground. Nope. Just more of the same, overly safe pop culture shit.

And this one is especially bad because it's been hacked to bits so many times, they just threw together a bunch of features from other popular games to get it released.

FF 15 is the next No Man's Sky.

Signs point that it's closer to being the next Metal Gear Solid 5.

I liked dog. Hated denuvo.

That brawl with rocket launchers like a beat them up game was silly.

 

[Raghar]

Square is fucking ridiculous, their excuse for delaying the game an extra month was because they didnt agree with day one patches... now with the early release in Peru, of all places, it's confirmed that the day one patch will be 7.2GB...

Wait. Is it out already?

 

[Hyperion]

SE shipped it out to retails. Peru broke the release date.

 

[abnaxus]

Peru is not that absurd as it sounds, it does have the largest Wapanese immigrant population after Brazil. Also Fujimorism.

Well, I'm watching the stream right now. It's hilarious to see the party get ripped apart by a single cactuar who is zipping around and using thousand needles . I guess that's the best argument I can make for FF with real time combat. Otherwise this looks like the same old tired open world garbage where you run around forever and spend more than half the game following your GPS and nothing happens.

Dunno so far it looks to me like the devs took DA:I as their model and thought how can we make this even more boring....
It also looks and runs pretty shitty (that stutter while driving....)

at least its not a corridor like XIII right?

 

[Hobo Elf]

at least its not a corridor like XIII right?

But it is. They said that it starts off as an open world game but then becomes a linear one at roughly the halfway point of the game.

At least the whole game isnt a corridor then

Yeah, instead you can run around a huge empty area with nothing meaningful or entertaining inside before being funneled into a tunnel.

 

[Raghar]

I like walking around in the area, and doing nothing aside of sightseeing.

Impressions from an insider who (at least he says so) finished the game:

Part 1: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=224980608&postcount=1476
Part 2: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=224980680&postcount=1481

He's pretty enthusiastic (2nd best FF evah!!1!), even though he didn't like everything.

He's a total fanboy and is talking enthusiastic about the game for years now.

Makes me more optimistic on the game though, looks like it wont be trainwreck and actually decent.

 

[llazy77]

Seems like the entire second half isnt linear just the very end of the game

“To go back on the more linear part of the game… It actually transfers into that linear part of gameplay when the story ramps up and gets into its final stages,” said Tabata in an interview with Dualshockers. “Rather than the latter half of the game, it’s very close to the end of the game so to speak.

I don't expect it to be a trainwreck either maybe if it released at the original release date a few months back now i expect it to be just mediocre.

Fun fact:
Verendus, a well known "insider" on GAF, said he played FFXV and finished it. People asked for what his thoughts was and so he posted them in this thread last night. For him it was the best game this gen so far and his second favorite behind FFVII in the entire series. However, Jason Schreier from Kotaku read his impressions and felt some of what he described was off. Jason would know since he probably has a review copy but even then he already played 15 hours of the game earlier this month. After that, a lot of people realized most of what Verendus wrote was known info. Many started asking for receipts, Falk PMed him to get clarification, but he hasn't appeared at all since last night.

Seems like he made the whole thing up to hype the game :mrpresident:

Probably a viral marketer.

Dunno i think they would at least get to play the game or have access to accurate information.

 

[nil]

I doubt they'd ever give copies to viral marketers, and getting accurate info about the game out there doesn't seem to be in Square's best interest.

 

[tet666]

Ah well at least making xbone their second platform at launch instead of pc is paying off:

(tbh i'm a bit salty Last Guardian isn't selling great so far either...)

Final Fantasy chips. Seriously.

Popcorn, not crisps (chips, whatever).
