[Skate-AK]

Someone's got their head stuck on 4/20 haha.

[fermcr]

Isn't this game dead already!

Let it die and move on... FFXV.

[abcd]

No thx. Square-Enix has more than one team. FF XV will have a different team so you don't have to worry.

And I can't wait for FF XIV: ARR.

Naoki Yoshida is the best director right now at Square-Enix. He is doing a amazing job.

[Abriael]

Apparently it's not dead. U mad?

[Larry L]

Totally disagree. Dead? This game is BACK from the dead, and in a HUGE way. Everything about it looks SO figgin' good. Aside from the subscription fee thing that I still can't decide if I'd ever be willing to pay on top of actually paying for the game itself, it really does look like one of the best FFs ever. The combat looks fun and casual yet still VERY deep for people who want the depth, and it's almost like a "Best of FF" in terms of all the gameplay aspects and locations from classic FFs.

Honestly, it just looks SO good that it is the very first game I've ever even considered paying a subscription fee to play. That's such high praise as far as I'm concerned.

[mr.selfdestruct]

Not at all I'm loving the beta. I just cant wait for it to be on the PS3 Cause my cpu can only run it on the lowest settings. Even better if it comes on PS4!!!!!

[Skate-AK]

Honestly I don't see the PS3 version running much better than low on PC. Maybe low-med.
They would be dumb not to bring it to PS4 but they havnt been making the best decsions.

[Larry L]

They've shown plenty of PS3 in-game shots dude. In terms of models and textures, it looks pretty much the same. The only noticable differences that stood out to me was obviously less post processing on the foliage, and that hazy/mist stuff adding ambiance in all the really nice PC shots wasn't there.

Not what I would describe as equal to low-med on PC. It looks closer to strong med-high without the best RAM sucking post processing effects.

As long as the framerate is locked at 30 or at least stays very steady at 30, it will be fine. I'm certainly not upset about the lack of 60fps on a game like this.

[Myst]

I wonder if my pre-order from like a year or two is still at GS >_>

[Rynocirator]

it will be, as an unavailable sku...you're money should still be available though.

[Myst]

Ah cool so I will just have to move it then.

[Skate-AK]

Yep your money will still be there. Found out last week I had $10 toward a pre-order of Infamous 1 haha.

[Myst]

Lol! Well damn I thought they cancelled them out after release after a certain time but I guess not.

[luoshuigui]

some stupid shits will buy this crap just like they did with ff14's first release.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

U came in this thread to be a hater? Lol ur life must suck

[luoshuigui]

not suck as much as those losers wasted their money on the crap ff14, the piece of shit couldnt even last longer than a year before server closed, looking at those sad fanboys does make me chuckle.

[helghast102]

Wow, you don't know a single thing about this game do you?

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

I'm lookin forward to it. Vet ff11 player here

[ICarly1985]
