Fierce_LiNk Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 It was true! The game launches September 30th 2016. Really looking forward to this. It looks lovely! I haven't played a Final Fantasy since FF: Mystic quest...
Sheikah Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Yeahhhh. That demo is getting destroyed by me later. Also, can the people who are mentioning Wii U please pass the industrial grade marijuana, thx. Edited March 31, 2016 by Sheikah
Hero-of-Time Posted March 31, 2016 Author Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Amazing trailers. Fantastic music selection. Goosebumps all over and tears in my eyes. Well played, S-E. Dat ending on the Japanese trailer! More stuff came out of the event last night. A prequel CGI movie will be released showing the war that occured between the two kingdoms. - KINGSGLAIVE FINAL FANTASY XV: A CGI feature film (dir: Takeshi Nozue aka Advent Children director) that chronicles the event that happens sets off the main story. Celebrity cast including Sean Bean (King Regis), Aaron Paul (Nyx, entirely new character and the focus of the movie), and Lena Headey (Luna). They are not part of the VA cast in the main game. Will come out later this year but before the game. Will also be packaged with the Limited/Collector's edition. A 5 part anime series will also be released for free online. This shows various adventures that Noctis and his friends get up to while on the road. The first episode is online now. Demo is up now, aswell. Edited March 31, 2016 by Hero-of-Time
Dcubed Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Until this game sits on store shelves, I don't believe it :p Edit: Looks like a PC version is coming at a later point... http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1202694
drahkon Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Where do I begin? First of all, Jesus titty-fucking Christ, talk about marketing Really looking forward to the complete anime series and that CGI movie (which looks amaaaaziiing). And those trailers for the game itself. Can I just say that I love absolutely everything about this? The art style, the character design, the world, the music, the gameplay (at least what I can tell from watching those trailers; will update once I've played the demo), EVERYTHING. Oh...and don't forget Florence. She's such a wonderful person.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 31, 2016 Author Posted March 31, 2016 The environments trailer is stunning.
drahkon Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Finished the demo. Can't wait for the full release. Combat was probably not as complex as in the final version, but still fun as hell. I did the last fight twice, because I could Framerate is a bit chunky at times. Game looks great, though. The music...oh good lord, the music. Beautiful.
DriftKaiser Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I downloaded the demo but I'll give it a properly go tomorrow.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 31, 2016 Author Posted March 31, 2016 The visuals in this game....just.....
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 The environments trailer is stunning. Hnnnnnggggggg. The actual sounds I made whilst watching that were remarkably close to that, although some of it was inaudible. Games are becoming more and more beautiful looking. Hope this looks as good in reality as it does in that trailer.

When IT happens and the music starts its such a "Hell yeah!" moment. Loved the demo. It felt very much like Kingdom Hearts, which is great for me. When the enemies spawn it reminds me of the Heartless from KH. Even the music is pretty similar.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Hopefully the rumour is true! Well then its settled, I will be a first time PS4 owner on Sep 30th ^^
Sheikah Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Demo was top class, finished it earlier. Very much looking forward to the full game now.

If so, would you say this battle system is as accessible and addictive? And how different is it from FF13's system, because I absolutely loathed that crap.

It really came into its own during the post game content and chasing the trophies/achievements. It's very much an extension of the dress sphere system from FFX-2, which I also enjoyed.
Blade Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Ive watched the trailers and I literally cannot wait for this game. I'm downloading the demo but its taking ages!! OMG also ive just read what @Hero\-of\-Time posted and noticed who will be voicing the cast in the feature film and no other than SEAN BEAN aka 100% Blade and Mr Sheffield himself will be voicing a character

And how different is it from FF13's system, because I absolutely loathed that crap. I freaking love turn-based battles. Can't say much about FFXV's battle system, though, as I don't know how complex it will be in the final release. In the demo it was basically limited to "attack", "dodge" and "fire-magic" (for the final battle). It played like a really toned down Devil May Cry. It was great, as you have to manage your health, time your magic and attacks while dodging the enemy. I'm hoping for a much more complex system in the full version, though. But I'm sure it'll be varied with elements, status effects, weapons, armor, summons, party management, etc. : peace:
Blade Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Hmmm what was the demo supposed to show? I loved the boss battle at the end but leading up to that seemed like a really basic platformer collecting these orbs. I didn't quite know what to make of it to be honest. The music and graphics though!!!!! Wow!

The music and graphics though!!!!! Wow! The demo was really just to show off what the game can do. That's why they are switches that can change the time of day or weather, as well as the blocks that you can hit with your car. The same goes for the Meteor weapon. All of these are just to show off the lighting, partical effects etc. If you want a meatier demo with more combat then you should pick up Final Fantasy Type-0. I really loved the game and you can pick it up for less than a tenner now. It's quite a snappy JRPG as well. I think you can beat it in around 20 hours, if not less.

I may pick up FF Type-0 then. So am I right in thinking the running around collecting orbs will not form part of the gameplay in the proper game? I was kind of expecting a traditional FF but not turn based or something like xenoblade if im being honest.

I was kind of expecting a traditional FF but not turn based or something like xenoblade if im being honest. Yeah, I think that was just for this tech demo. Probably to give you something to do while you were messing with the game engine. The main game looks to be like Xenoblade, except not ugly. The battle system is easy to pick up but difficult to master. It plays a lot like Kingdom Hearts but with more depth. Saying that, KH battle system had plenty going for it. Those who say you could mash the buttons to win clearly never played it on the higher difficulties. I'll give the Type-0 demo another shot over the weekend. I never played it after they updated it. Also... Edited March 31, 2016 by Hero-of-Time
Blade Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Yeah the demo was just disappointing and a bit dull apart from the boss fight at the end. Combat as the kid was boring. Also I wanted to keep moving the camera away from the kid, it was far too close! Also a dream sequence? Erm okay Game does look beautiful and the sound track is great though. The demo has put a downer on my enthusiasm for the game now but I trust what Hero said and that this demo was not a representation of the proper game. Edited March 31, 2016 by Blade

It really came into its own during the post game content and chasing the trophies/achievements. It's very much an extension of the dress sphere system from FFX-2, which I also enjoyed. I dunno man, the system in 13 just felt so 'loose' - like I didn't have full control. Funny enough, I though X-2's system was the perfect fight system for the series, turn-based but speedy. I freaking love turn-based battles. Can't say much about FFXV's battle system, though, as I don't know how complex it will be in the final release.

I'm just hoping battles don't get all hack'n slashy and is a bit technical.
Cookyman Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I freaking love turn-based battles. 2 words for you, Rainbow Moon! Over 100 hours in and still not finished it!
