Squeenix Final Fantasy 15

[Nugs]

So the versus FF has been changed to 15, dark, mature storyline with kingdom hearts combat.
Let's be honest, it cannot be worse than last 3 FF's.

dark, mature storyline

Also rename title to XV.

 

[Nugs]

You know that XV is 15 right?

I like the setting quite a lot, and the story trailers mostly seem interesting, and it also promises a quite open world that you can explore with chocobo/car/airship as in the old FF-games. I'm fapping cautiously to this, as it might be a good ARPG.

And also CHRYSTARU

Isn't it about time they changed the name from final fantasy to something else.

Final Fantasy: We promise

Looks really cool. Doesn't look like a Final Fantasy game though.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

FF has always used Latin numerals. Stick with it you stupid cunt.

I wonder if this will come to the PC too

 

[yes plz]

Outside of the gameplay, which looks like it could actually be good, nothing about it looks particularly intriguing to me. The main characters look bland and almost indistinguishable from each other due to their dull designs and penchant for black, the world looks fairly boring, and nothing I've read about either the story or the characters has piqued my interest much. Feels like it might be another FFXII -- some decent gameplay elements but otherwise mostly shit.

Oh hey look, another Devil May Cry reboot.

I didn't consider this option, but that'd be awesome!

Well Squeenix is in deep shit financially, so I'm pretty sure they will try to get as many sources of revenue as possible.

 

[Nugs]

wtf means ' a world of versus epic' ?

 

[yes plz]

wtf means ' a world of versus epic' ?

iirc, the game was originally titled Final Fantasy XIII Versus but that was years ago, when it was originally meant to be released alongside XIII. Now it's just called XV and I guess 'Versus' is the brand for whatever spin-offs will undoubtedly be created for it.

 

[abnaxus]

Some of that voice over sounded familiar.

 

[SuicideBunny]

reminds me somewhat of ff8, which is good. i liked ff8.

It seems like you're part of a mafia, controlled by your father. Cool stuff, could work.

Is it a CHRYSTARU Mafia? Because they keep bringing those up.

Final Fantasy XV is set in modern times, but the city-like country Lucis which protagonist Noctis hails from is the only technologically advanced location, otherwise surrounded by medieval nations. The reason for this divide is a cold war waged over crystals, the last of which Lucis holds. The other nations used to have their own crystals, but lost them due to ongoing conflicts. They have since focused their efforts on the development of weapons rather than on the progress of their culture, which left them in their regressive state. Just as the cold war ends and a treaty on the peaceful use of crystals is declared, the nation Niflheim unexpectedly invades Lucis, forcing Noctis and his friends to escape. Having waged wars against the countries Solheim, Tenebrae and Accordo, Niflheim's forces conquer the last remaining crystal, but Noctis tries to stop them before they can leave the city.

So not mafia... you're a prince instead. Meh. And the whole "we are advanced while you're medieval cause you focused on war" is extremely retarded. Focusing on machines and war turns you into a industrial society, not holds you on medieval times.

 

[yes plz]

Apparently the royal family is 'mafia-esque'. What this seems to mean is that they wear suits instead of armor. The world definitely seems like a poorly thought-out fusion of the usual fantasy medieval crap and the modern world, with Square Enix lacking the talent to pull it off in any sort of interesting way.

 

[Athelas]

Another nonsensical mishmash of sci-fi and fantasy, another storyline involving crystals causing/preventing the end of the world, another hipster teenager wielding a giant sword. Looks like Final Fantasy alright.

If it plays at all like it looks, it could be pretty cool. yes plz is right, those character designs are awful but I could see this otherwise being alright and I'm cautiously optimistic. Still haven't played XIII, a friend told me it's very linear until the end but that the combat is pretty fun, but I really enjoyed XII. XII was the best Final Fantasy game I've played.
