An unofficial Final Fantasy XV twitter source posted a tweet that the game is expected to be the most expensive project developed by the Square Enix team. The game has been in production for 8 years now and earlier this month its been confirmed that voice over work is yet to begin.

Not having voice overs isn't really a big deal...but..well...the CG in the trailers have had voice overs since the 2011 one?...confuses me a bit.
But yeah, this game may be the largest project ever. I mean just looking at the trailer and knowning that everything in it is real time? Nothing is 'backround' like alot of games. Flying across that city in the latest trailer when you get your Airship will be phenomenal.
@Below. It's no voices 'yet'. As in, they haven't put them in the game yet. Voice overs =/= Voice acting. The Voice overs are done last in dev process. VA has obviously started as it's been in the trailers for ages now. BUt we haven't seen the characters speaking 'in game' yet. Only Voice over the trailer.
they gonna blame the gamers for it.
gonna see another tomb raider situation.
the trilogy sold over 10 million.
if this games is half as good as hyped upto be (airships , world map n all)
itll do that in a heartbeat.
only thing is, the release will have to wait till atleast 20 million ps4s have been sold.
which will take quite some time.
Im thinking fall 2015 release
My prediction for FF15 release date is in either Q1 or Q4 of 2015. heck makes perfect sense cuz its called Final Fantasy 15. 2015 it is -,-
Lol, yeah, good luck.
It won't be a total loss and a cheaper to make sequal is guaranteed.
Why is this news?
but the fact we know for certain is piracy is rampant on the pc, like it or not.
and for now, its not even possible on ps4 n xb1.
also most poeple who play exclusively on pc (I.e actually pay for the game) dont prefer jrpgs.its common knowledge that such games have eluded
pc for more than a decade now.it wont hurt if it came to the pc but expecting a pc version is stupid.most people ask for pcs version of such games because its the most casually available platform and you can get that game with no costs,requirements or consequences.not blaming pc gamers but pirates who happen to have a pc like 80% of urban population
and wanna play it because it looks good and why the hell not?ive seen idiots download uncharted and god of war and wonder why its not working on pc.
after realizing the truth they begim askkng the release of the pc version.
true pc gamers dont ask around for every game to be ported to it, they have their pcs for the kind of games that actually run and sellbest on it. (fps, rts, mmo n such)
BTW W2 I believe was reported to be torrented over a 1M times and yet we are getting a W3 that is bigger better and just as easy to illegally download. That is how I know it sold perfectly fine. I believe piracy adds to a games popularity and fanbase as well as a devs thus leading to a title like the Witcher that gets more and more popular each game and sells even better with each new release
"Piracy is rampant" is a very common misconception about PC.

I mean, alright enough to make a sequel to a pretty tough, uncompromising RPG. That's really something.
It is not like voice over makes the game feel higher quality. I personally get annoyed hearing the same damn thing everytime I talk to an NPC in for example Skyrim
Voice recording is one of the last things done in development, and doesn't really take that long (especially for a game that's taken 8 years to make).
There's no need to worry there won't be voice acting. I would imagine it will be like most JRPGs nowadays. The storyline will all be voiced, but random NPCs in towns will be text only. If even the NPCs were voiced, that would be a first for FF.
I dont want to hear about this unless, and bundle is being made, and new vid is out, or a release date with REAL info.
In two yrs this will be going 10yr anniversary
I don't think it matters whether the main character is male or female just as long as you can connect to them and sort of build a bond with them. Characters such as Cloud, Squall or Tidus you sorta grew with them as they went further through the game. I just didn't get that with Final Fantasy XIII. Tbh I actually already had quite a bit of affection for Yuna, Rikku etc following X so maybe that's why i feel the female characters worked a little more. Although the game wasn't as enjoyable as it could be (costume spheres, wtf? GAY) it was nice to see familiar faces.
With regards to summons in final fantasy, i really agree with you there. I started the series at VII like many and summons were a big part of the game and even more so in VIII. Final Fantasy just wouldn't be right without all the classic summons and it would be great to throw in some new ones.
I also love how there are references/names spread across the games from each of them. Makes me smile when you see a ship called the Ragnorok then you play another and its a sword. Makes you feel right at home!
I did play FF14 when it first came out on PC but it was an absolute mess! I am going to give it another shot on PS4 when it releases in a couple weeks, fingers crossed it's sorted its act out!
Should get me through a year or 2 until 15 releases ;P
I jokkkkkkkkkke!!
I did play the PS3 beta briefly but unfortunately my view of it was tainted from the PC. My rig obviously ran it with better res, frame rate, draw distance, number of enemies on screen etc so the PS3 beta was a HUGE step down for me so I couldn't get into it.
However the PS4 version looks quite promising with higher specs but i missed out on the beta stage in February so I do not have the beta client :/ hopefully they put the client back up before April the 4th so i can participate in the final beta phase and also the early access!!
Yeah my moneys on square enix doing a big presentation at E3 with the release date etc!!
The issue I have is that as a result we've been subjected to a lot of mediocre at best games brandishing the FF name. As a result I have little faith it will deliver on the expectations it began with.
- Before you hit that Disagree button, Think! Is it worth it? Reply to why you disagree with me.
I am worried for both of these titles and the associated teams.
If this game tanks I can bet that Square will be shutting down or at least laying off A LOT of people.
