Hopefully they'll go back to the FF12 formula after they are done with this cristales shit.

The Final Fantasy cycle; trailer looks okay, game will invariably be a pile of shit.
Fuck Bahamut, imagine SHIVA. :rejoice
they ever say what "Versus 13" meant?
Guys remember that the game has a world map. It's probably just the first part of the game.
Final Fantasy VALIS sounds like a game I'd actually play
The Final Fantasy cycle; trailer looks okay, game will invariably be a pile of shit.What cycle? The series has a pretty great batting average.
like...Renovation Valis?I was thinking the Phillip K Dick novel :(

EDIT: game looks kinda cool tho
Fucker!
so can i play it before 2020 this time please?
I bet the fact that it's called 15 means it's coming out.
They can't skip to 16 or name another game 15 now right? They have to be committed to this.
Square Enix has confirmed that it will hold a Final Fantasy event at E3. Titled “The Future of Final Fantasy,” the event will be open to press from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. Pacific on Tuesday, June 11th

XIII-1
it had a butt load of money thrown in it, still has top 5 graphics and production values this gen. just pretty boring.
XIII-2 was more budget, XIII-3 is practically Simple 2000 Series status
And now we're on to Yoshinori Kitase, producer of Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster and Lighting Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. He's telling us about how the FFX remakes will be on Vita and PS3, to delight those who haven't played them. And he boasts that Lightning Returns is both new and challenging. Sprawling open-world map. "This is the ultimate Final Fantasy for the current-gen system."
I meant in terms of being fun to play and general acclaim. It seems like production value has been the fumes FF has been riding on since X.
has MGSV been announced for PS4 or PC?

when I first played it, I totally hated it.
when I replayed it, I knew what to expect and liked it much better, but I still wouldn't recommend it to people. Namely cause you don't get the full battle system for the first 20 hours. Once you get it, it's one of the best FF battle systems, but that's literally all the game has. No minigames, the "crafting" stuff sucks, crystarium level system is pretty linear, it's just the battle system.
FF13 characters :lol
FF13 "world" aka look at that cool shit we will NEVER LET YOU FULLY EXPLORE (Palomporum)
FF13 music :zzz

There is an extended 9-minute trailer later today, I'm sure they'll list all the consoles at the end of it.
FFXV looks totally uninteresting. They all have been The Spirits Within: The Game ever since FFX.
I don't see how anyone can take a glance at the trailer and think of the words 'Final Fantasy'.

FFXIII's characters weren't bad. Sahz was great, Hope was alright after he stopped being annoying/whiny in the first 10 hours, Fang was solid, Snow was cheezy but fun, and Vanille...well it's always good to have a character with down syndrome in your game that you can laugh at. BUT LIGHTNING ARGHGHGHG; in an attempt to make a female Cloud, they basically make the most uninteresting no-emotion boring lead in an FF to date. She sucked in XIII, and I didn't play enough to see if she was any better in XIII-2, but I doubt it. She's just a terrible attempt at a character and made the XIII franchise a giant waste.FFXV looks totally uninteresting. They all have been The Spirits Within: The Game ever since FFX.

XII was awesome until it falls apart; XI/XII/XIII/XIV/XV all have looked like "FF"; What, you don't want cutscenes in your rpgs? Play XI/XIV then. XV probably looks the least FF because it was originally supposed to be a spinoff. To me FFXV looks like Kingdom Hearts grown up and without the Disney.

Kagari to change her avatar in 3... 2...
(And possibly commit suicide now that her precious Square isn't Sony exclusive)
Writing's been on the wall for years since 13 went multi-plat. It's just been a matter of time.
Now if they announce a release date, that's a bigger deal.
They said they're using DX11, so if they were smart they would. But this is Square and they aren't too smart...
Yes. Yes you do need to explore to enjoy a games setting. At the very least, give us interesting lore and atmosphere. FF13 is a cavern fiesta and it sucks shit. Vagrant Story, Digital Devil Saga, and Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter offer much more in the way interesting settings and follow the same exact formula as FF13 (linear dungeon crawlers) but with a smidgen of personality and mood.
I don't expect KH3 on xbone either.http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-11-final-fantasy-15-set-for-xbox-one-too
Wait, that's been announced?
I've not heard a single thing about FF15 on xbone but I figured that was common sense anyways. Unless the rumor that Sony helped fund it is true.
"It was a huge amount of joy that we were finally able to announce Final Fantasy 15," said producer Shinji Hashimoto.
When asked why the company decided to publish for the Xbox One, he added that in order to reach the most fans, Square Enix has to flexible regarding which platforms their games will launch on.
Final Fantasy 15 is being developed with DirectX 11, which Hashimoto said made it possible to port the title to different hardware. This has made it possible for the company to launch the game on Xbox One as well, he said.
BOFDQ's setting is boring and generic? But FF13 is interesting? lol. Well, opinions. But I know I'm right because I don't play Atelier games.

There's nothing wrong with XIII's setting (Pulse/Cocoon/Falcie), it's the team's (namely Toriyama) fault for not making it interesting in the game.
lol @ kagari. thought these were exclusive lol.
Did her source at the GameStop tell her that?

yup. if they woulda put some more character into it besides "here are some monsters that live in the area; why dont you kill them" then maybe people would have given a shit. instead its as one-dimension as the rest of the game

you play games made for pedophiles and lie about the reasons youre interested in them. go sit down and turn your chair toward the corner.
Vanille is objectively the worst FF character.
In a world where Selphie and Zell exist? HAIL NO.
Wait, you said character, not even party member... oh god, too many possibilities... have I repressed enough of the truly awful NPCs over the years? Hopefully.

From the 3 hour mark they're showing a bunch of gameplay of it. Looks hot. Dunno how to do the timestamp/mark thing.
Except that was a mockup and this is obviously real gameplay since it's jumping all over the place showing fights.
haha, it really is just basically Kingdom Hearts
That looks pretty good, I especially like the overall art style and scope. It feels like a crazy Japanese style that's been filtered through a more realistic vision.

Does KH have those things? And while combat has gotten better with each installment(as far as I'm aware, I've only played 1-2-BBS). It's still pretty simple and meh combat. With two being the worst offender with mash until you can press triangle combat. BBS has the best combat and I'm pretty sure that's not the team making this one. The KH2 team is.Meh, I really don't want Kingdom Hearts combat in a FF game. Right now this looks very automated and QTE heavy. That's not what I'm playing a jrpg for.fuck that weak ass menu heavy shit. KH was the future of the JRPG its just that people didnt realize it :bow
Should have stayed a spin-off.
Graphics and art look top tier though.

Well it looks like KH, breh. It looks like you have contextual input commands ala KH in real time. The big problem is that the UI doesn't tell you what's a qte or not. So a lot of qte stuff looks like gameplay. It's not so confusing if you've played KH. You lock on, and then you do the teleport thing. Notice how he has to lock on to get to the behemoth at that one part.
I don't get why people care if Versus has a number or not. The game was still going to come out, the same staff would be on it, and the next mainline FF would still be in the pipeline for the same release date, only that will now be called FFXVI instead of FFXV.

That's why I didn't get it then, very little KH experience. like 5 hours of BBS
there were some decent jrpgs on consoles this last gen, but comparing psp/ds to home consoles is like comparing ps2 to gamecube.Its a dysfunction to have a preferences for consoles?
if you have a dysfunction that prevents you from enjoying games just because they're on handhelds, that's unfortunate. it ranks up there with the dysfunction that prevents people from enjoying games that are on non-nintendo hardware in terms of tragic outcomes.
and it's only going to get worse if you're a jrpg fan. what was once a 30-70 console/handheld split is going to quickly become 5-60-25 console/handheld/smartphone in the coming gen.

That's cool. Doesn't do much for me, but it's good to see folks happy with this series again. Inexplicably from a game that existed the whole time, but I digress.
New thread for new news I guess. There's a new Jump scan floating around with descriptions of the main party in the game, and the Japanese voice cast for the characters (which is also in the Japanese press release for the game).
Noctis Lucis Caelum (Tatsuhisa Suzuki)
Prince of the Lucis Kingdom, possessing eyes which can sense the death of others. His close friends call him Noct.
Ignis Scientia (Mamoru Miyano)
The eldest son of a household tasked with protecting the royal family from generation to generation. A close friend of Noctis who is closer to him than a true brother.
Gladiolus Amicitia (Kenta Miyake)
A childhood friend of Noctis who grew up recieving gifted education befitting a staff officer. He understands Noctis well and is his confidant.
Prompto Argentum (Tetsuya Kakihara)
A friend who has been a bad influence to Noctis since his school days. While he can get carried away easily, there's another side of him which is driven to help friends in need.
Cor Rionis (Hiroki Touchi)
Head of Royal Family Guards, and one of the three strongest fighters in Lucis. While he is harsh to Noctis and the others, he is a true man of honor who takes his vows to king and country very seriously.
The characters are also the ones on the key visual poster they showed at the Future of FF media briefing. From left to right it's Prompto, Gladiolus, Noctis, Ignis, and Cor:

Seems like they've added 200% more waifus, with new glasses girls today. Lots of gushing over the characters and such.
You have to wonder if F2P but with paid DLC customization options (with 1000s of options available) would do better than sub model

I'm sorry guys but that is the first time I've been wowed by FF visuals since forever. FFXII and FFFXIII looked good. Great even. But this impressed me more than when I saw FFVII the first time. The sense of scale in that final Leviathan shot in the game play trailer? Holy shit.Whatever you may have felt about XIII's character design, its setting design was absolutely fucking phenomenal and you'd be goddamn blind to disagree. One look at the Gapra Whitewood and shut the fuck up.
More than that, the art doesn't look like the dog shit in XIII. On every board I read people are saying they see stuff from their favorite FF. "Holy shit, VI vibes!" "This art reminds me of ViI." Meanwhile people even think the art reminds them somewhat of IX and XII due to the architecture. I personally am reminded of VIII. I find it fascinating they've done this. It is like a culmination of all FF art to this point. It has pizazz and cool and its pretty too.
I see people bitching it is an action rpg and it is a DMC clone. I fart on them. Look at that battle trailer. FF is starting to lose a hold on players and has less name power than it did in the past especially after XIII and 14. This game is what FF needs to be a household name again.
If you followed my posts over the years you'd remember how I thought FFXIII looked absolutely boring in trailers. I even argued with friends on Square fan site I visit over the art many times. I thought it looked uninspired and boring. I watch that FFXV trailer and I'm the complete fucking opposite. I WANT TO PLAY IT NOW due to the actual product and what it is rather than out of obligation due to name power. I haven't said that about an FF product in over ten years.
No way. The Gapra Whitewood is a fucking gorgeous crystalline forest in the vein of Macalania Woods in FFX. Easily my favorite area in the game.I'm sorry guys but that is the first time I've been wowed by FF visuals since forever. FFXII and FFFXIII looked good. Great even.

Gapra Whitewood is the worst looking area in the game. Yes even Vile Peaks look better.
For best art. & design areas you have:
- Palumpolum
- Lake Bresha
- Palamecia
- Eden
All are better looking and more memorable than Gapra.
I don't think any of them are really memorable except Lake Bresha. Palumpolum is just a regular old city. Palamecia, I have no clue what that even is. Is Eden the final dungeon? See? I don't even know what these places are, much less remember what they look like. For a Final Fantasy, that's a problem.

and how are these places even connected? I had no sense of the world. I agree it's a problem, made it feel like I was playing long, boring levels, rather than being on a quest.
I suppose if I watched cutscenes I would know how it all fit together but in past final fantasies, the transitions between regions were done in game, which was fun. Always loved discovering the next area.
I don't really play them for story or plot.
After FFXIII, do we really want more female main characters? That's three FF's in a row starring a female character. The fact that the main cast is all male is actually refreshing because of that now. More than that, Stella seems to be a big part of the story, so I think that point is moot. And it's not really a foreign idea that a crowned prince of a country in a world where numerous nations are being attacked would be surrounded by males.

and lo, a new sonic cycle is born
Not just talking about you, Himu. Seeing lots of people getting their hopes up awful high for a game with a highly troubled development from an iffy team with literally no experience in the last seven years. This game should be met with the absolute highest skepticism, slick trailers or not.
If they can do it well, that's fine and dandy. But we'll see. I personally doubt they can but I want to believe. I really do.
I am looking forward to FFXIII despite my hesitation. I am a big fan of FFX and FFX-2. Having the same team work on this game seems great, and I SHOULD be excited. But after that trailer, which looked straight out of Advent Children, I've taken FFXIII a lot less seroiusly.
I hope they prove me wrong, and I really hope it's better than I am expecting it to be.
I hate FF15 cast not because of their look but how they are all predictable.

Oh dear, you think this is going to beyond anime of the week crap? Are you familiar with this guy, this Tetsuya Nomura?
Nojima is writing XV?
Nojima is writing XV?
Yep.
Nojima makes cool stories full of interesting, likeable characters, plot twists, emotional moments, and interesting worlds. FFX & Crisis Core were really good (not counting the CC Genesis stuff) and probably have some of the most powerful moments in videogame writing with their endings. The characters are likeable and the worlds interesting. He also did a good job with Last Ranker and a number of other rpgs. He did good with KH1, and KH2 was interesting but ultimately failed. But other than KH2 he's usually a good writer.
Toriyama is total shit. He can write characters but he can't write a story for the life of him. Jesus, after 3rd Birthday he should have been expelled from SE.
Nojima has some duds you're right. But I think he has some great stuff under hid belt, notably FFX.
i think, as you said, he's very good at creating fairly coherent worlds, and i do appreciate that. but he really seems to have poor understanding of how real human beings interact with each other, and he loooooooves distinguished mentally-challenged plot twists. he's also really bad for losing the thread and going up his own ass.
I like XIII too. I like every FF main series entry. However, I hold no quarter in regards to XIII's mediocrity.
In any case I'm no longer interested in talking about that boring slog of a game. Lots of good news on the XV front. No reason to bring up XIII.

Tidus sacrifices himself, reconciles himself with his father (and gives him a high five in the far plane aka heaven), Yuna puts on a brave face, addresses all the people of their victory but to never forget the sacrifices. Considering that the entire basis of Yuna's journey is that she has to sacrifice herself to save the world, the fact the man she loved did it in her stead was a beautiful cap off. FFX has one of gamings greatest endings and it illogical to say you're a cigarillo if you're emotional towards one ending but THAT OTHER ENDING is totally okay. The truth is that we are all fegs.

We need more hero/playable character deaths in rpgs, western or eastern. If it's too much it just feels cliche, but these days everything's way too safe and everyone's invincible because "omg sequel possibility". I miss FFT "oh fuck, everyone dies in the end" endings once in a while that used to surprise.
I really need to stop visiting anime fourms.
Apparently it's a terrible thing this game so far only has male party members. That the absence of "cute girls" means it's a Fujoshi whatever game. That it sucks that you can't make your party a harem of cute girls.
I really don't get it. I've really never looked at these games as anything like that.
Also, apparently it's also anti-feminism or nonsense now. It's trying to appeal to western gamers because it has not female characters.

I guess FFXIII sort had some of that stuff in the end but the story was so trash no one cared.
We also just need more AWESOME leads who are likeable charismatic people. Zach in Crisis Core was ridiculously well written to be an awesome dude which makes the story more tragic. Same with like Yuri in Shadow Hearts 1&2. Or Yuri in Vesperia (though he was a bit emo especially in the 2nd half). Too many rpg leads are shitty unlikeable characters these days...
I like Noctis though so far. Seems like he's having fun with his bros, and knows how to dress himself properly and spends good time on his hair product...oh wait. I dunno, seems more hopefully than "I HAVE NO EMOTION AND I JUST ALWAYS LOOK PISSED OFF" Lightning or "I'm happy and giddy and have about as much depth as a 3 year old" Sora.

Tidus sacrifices himself, reconciles himself with his father (and gives him a high five in the far plane aka heaven), Yuna puts on a brave face, addresses all the people of their victory but to never forget the sacrifices. Considering that the entire basis of Yuna's journey is that she has to sacrifice herself to save the world, the fact the man she loved did it in her stead was a beautiful cap off. FFX has one of gamings greatest endings and it illogical to say you're a cigarillo if you're emotional towards one ending but THAT OTHER ENDING is totally okay. The truth is that we are all fegs. JOIN US, DIUNX.spoiler (click to show/hide)wasn't he like dead the whole time or something? didn't that kind of negate the sacrifice? been a long time.[close]spoiler (click to show/hide)He was a dream, but he still sacrificed his existence, which was real, for Yuna and the greater good.[close]
We need more hero/playable character deaths in rpgs, western or eastern. If it's too much it just feels cliche, but these days everything's way too safe and everyone's invincible because "omg sequel possibility". I miss FFT "oh fuck, everyone dies in the end" endings once in a while that used to surprise.
no,no,no,no
you can do so much with an RPG overframe and you want more melodramatic game a-la tales and nier? kill a hero so the party can mourn it for the remaining 2 hours? fuck no! and a double middle finger to you when you kill a character just to have him magicaly resurrect 5 minutes later
if anything we need in the following order
1) actual rpg
2) actual rpg that aren't made by image epoch and/or idea factory
3) games that break from the stupid baggage of trope that jrpg carry around like a chainball
You don't need to kill the main lead to make your story worth a shit. Just give it to a decent writer for once instead of animu wannabe writers.
I'm never mad with any of my bore bros, himu. It's the internet and it's 6 am and can't sleep or fap for shit.
But really, the problem lies with letting old dev dinosaurs write the story instead of hiring competent writers. Lost Odyssey is a prime example of this: why oh why make these beautiful short stories only to let the Gooch write the main story AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH
