[Mr. Gundam]

Where can I watch?

No stream, it's a private media event. I'm sure we'll get information once it's over.

[Himu]

Those assholes are still doing that shit.

[Don Flamenco]

wow, they haven't learned. 

secret mega theater.   

Last time, that didn't turn out to mean they were hiding some super awesome secret game that was so cool it couldn't be shown.

[Rahxephon91]

It's coming to Xbox as well.

[maxy]

Betrayal.

PC?

[thisismyusername]

It's coming to Xbox as well.

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.

Betrayal.

PC?

They said they're using DX11, so if they were smart they would. But this is Square and they aren't too smart...

[magus]

It's coming to Xbox as well.

http://tiredgamer.ytmnd.com/

is it coming to current console? i still don't understand that

[Rahxephon91]

Yeah I don't know why anyone would think it wouldn't come to Xbox. Game needs to sell as well as possible.

[Madrun Badrun]

When was the last AAA FF game?  X? 

[Powerslave]

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'.

[Don Flamenco]

Yeah I don't know why anyone would think it wouldn't come to Xbox. Game needs to sell as well as possible.

These two sentences cancel each other 

[Rahxephon91]

When was the last AAA FF game?  X?

As far as reviews and reception go I guess XII, but I like XIII so fuck the haters.

But I mean XIII was supposed to be a AAA game and is when it comes to production values.

[PigSpeakers]

Betrayal.

PC?

I hope so. That would extend the amount of time before I have to buy a next gen console. I won't get a Wii U unless someone buys it for me or it's less than $200. I ain't got a job or money for that. And I don't have a stream of nintendo bucks (i.e. mom and dad's money) flowing to me any more despite living at home.

[Don Flamenco]

When was the last AAA FF game?  X?

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

[Madrun Badrun]

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.

Maybe not?

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."

[cool breeze]

glad it's coming to xbox one.  exclusives

has MGSV been announced for PS4 or PC?

[Himu]

Kitase, shut the fuck up and direct another FF.

[Don Flamenco]

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.   

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.

There is an extended 9-minute trailer later today, I'm sure they'll list all the consoles at the end of it.

felt the same when replaying.

[Don Flamenco]

also skipping cutscenes helps the second time through.  I didn't start doing that until after the first 10 hours the first time

[magus]

i liked FF13 characters (even if they are a little cheesy),world and music and ultimately that's what make rpg good games for me

[Himu]

FF13 characters

FF13 "world" aka look at that cool shit we will NEVER LET YOU FULLY EXPLORE (Palomporum)

FF13 music

[magus]

says the guy who likes FF13-2

[Himu]

I haven't played 13-2, Magus. The only FF game I've bought since 13 is Theatrhythm.

cool, thanks.  didn't know about that.


Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming to Xbox One as well

[Bebpo]

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.
I don't see how anyone can take a glance at the trailer and think of the words 'Final Fantasy'.

 

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.

[Himu]

FFXIII characters are terrible Bebs. Get real. Lightning is okay until she goes full circle exactly how i expected her character development to go: mean bitch aka INTERESTING CHARACTER -> let's all hold hands. Vanille is objectively the worst FF character. Snow sucks. HERO. WANNA BE A HERO. HEROES CAN NEVER DIE. HERO! Fang is pretty okay but forgettable. This leaves Hope who tries to murder Snow, thank god) but he sucks half the game, Sazh.

So really, only one interesting character.

SOUNDS NICE

You only like the psx titles. We get it. Go away.

yup yup bebpo gets it,beside it's a pretty diverse cast... and you don't have to FULLY EXPLORE a game to enjoy it's setting,the atelier games i'm playing trough have exactly 1 town (well i guess totori has 2 of them) composed of around 5 screens and consist of piece of world so small you can see them whole in less than 3 minutes and somehow i'm still liking them

Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming to Xbox One as well

Is there a good rundown of the stuff said at SE's press event this morning?

[Himu]

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.

[Vertigo]

It's coming to Xbox as well.

They said they're using DX11, so if they were smart they would. But this is Square and they aren't too smart...

Lol wonder if her 'inside' sources told her that one. I noticed her absence in any SE thread this morning. Can't wait to hear the excuses. When gaf finally comes back up. Still can't forget her changing her lightning avatar when 13 was announced for Xbox 360.

This isn't her first goof this E3 she also shouted down and locked the thread made last week that PS4 would have paid multiplayer, again so she said she heard from her 'sources'.

What a magnificent bullshitter.

[Himu]

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.

[MCD]

I didn't expect KH3 on X1 considering X360 didn't get KH collection. Dat DRM money.

[Himu]

I don't expect KH3 on xbone either.

Wait, that's been announced?

[magus]

i find the visual style of FF13 with all the mechy stuff very interessing and cool and i find dragon quarter boring and generic fantasy fluff done in a trillion of other rpg... u mad?

[MCD]

I don't expect KH3 on xbone either.

Wait, that's been announced?

[Himu]

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.

[Vertigo]

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.

If Sony did help fund it and this is the final result. Then they got Level 5'ed.

i already knew you had shit taste himuro no reason to restate it again by going against good loli's games

himuro plays a game full of anthropomorphic animals :lenowned

[Bebpo]

If Dragon Quarter's setting was made by the FFXIII team it'd be boring and drab and terrible.


Dragon Quarter works because the talent that made it work.  They made it mysterious and intriguing.  They got great artists and had Sakimoto do a soundtrack that brought the world to life.  And then of course they had some of the best gameplay design in PS2 rpgs, which made the whole thing memorable and fun.


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.

[cool breeze]

high quality trailers

[Rman]

lol @ kagari.  thought these were exclusive lol.

[Bebpo]

At 1080p, some of the Versus stuff looks ridiculously good.  Great textures, great lighting, really good environment art direction.  Only PS3-looking stuff is the character models.

[Rahxephon91]

Anywhere I can download this stuff?

Hopefully that choppiness will be gone in the end product.

[Mr. Gundam]

Did anyone ask SE about Drag-on Dragoon 3 coming to NA?

[Positive Touch]

plays a game full of anthropomorphic animals :lenowned

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.

[Positive Touch]

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.

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

[Joe Molotov]

lol @ kagari.  thought these were exclusive lol.

Did her source at the GameStop tell her that?

Her BJ skills must not be very good.

but those monster look cool as shit! i especialy like the behemoths

[Himu]

Wow! They look so cool! Who. Cares. At. All? Great monster design (which 13 admittedly has) doesn't do a thing if the rest of the product isn't there.
