Final Fantasy XV’s Trailer: A Shiny Road Trip

CCC Says: "Millions of Final Fantasy fans watched the brand new Final Fantasy XV trailer released at TGS with anticipation. Several are saying it renews their faith in the franchise. Others are saying that it has gotten them hype for what’s yet to come. I’m sorry but… I cannot agree. The only thing that this trailer proved to me is that the majority of the Final Fantasy fanbase, really is swayed by pretty CGI more than they are concrete gameplay or story details, a statement that has been said jokingly for years now."

Hey if that road trip is filled with by a massive world peppered with cities and towns, 1000's of monsters, a good story and secrets galore it will be just fine.

Pozzle3504d ago

I'm so excited about a fully explorable world map. I hope there are lots of secret little towns and locations that we can find throughout our journey.

iamtehpwn3504d ago

I don't mean to be rude but the writer of this article sounds like a complete idiot tbh.

TiberusX873504d ago (Edited 3504d ago )

The author probably should have waited until TGS was over before writing.

All that effort, and then Square goes and shows a live engine/gameplay demonstration today, pretty much throwing half his argument out the window. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Stunning. I know we've seen this section before, but to see someone actually playing it now...it looks amazing! Those character models as well *_*

Adrian_v013504d ago

Another dude who discards the game just for the battle system. Of course they aren't gonna give us the story, what's the point in spoiling the game? And sorry but no, these "group battles" look much more interactive than anything a turn based system could do.

People say the battles are "clunky", I personally love how they added the effect of the weapon's weight to the character's movements, like heavy weapons slowing you down. Cause let's be honest, holding a buster sword with one hand is just ridiculous.

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled7d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?

Final Fantasy XV Review – A Royal Road Trip

Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.

Final Fantasy 15 director reveals why he left Square Enix, and announces he's working on 2 new JRPGs

Final Fantasy 15's director has revealed why he left Square Enix back in 2018.

Hajime Tabata famously resigned from Square Enix two years after Final Fantasy 15 shipped in 2016. In a special livestream at the time, Tabata announced his decision to resign from the company, cancelling three of four new story-focused DLC episodes for Final Fantasy 15 in the process.

FF15 is like FF13 its subjective people either like it or hate it.

raWfodog139d ago

I liked it. I haven’t played the royale edition yet but I’ll get around to it one day.

gold_drake139d ago

no no, 15 wasnt trash.

15 had a tremendous difficult development.

FinalFantasyFanatic138d ago

I really believe 13 was better put together and more complete than 15 ever was.

EternalTitan139d ago

Found the pathetic troll.
How is your jobless life going?
Dot worry, you will never get a job or a girlfriend haha!

Hofstaderman140d ago

Man inherited a train wreck and was expected to release this game in under two years after it spent a better part of a decade in development hell. At one point there was even plans to make FFXIII Versus a musical. He did what he could.

TheColbertinator139d ago

I didn't care much for XV and I always wanted the original vision of Versus XIII but I think the dev team did what they could to salvage the project

Inverno139d ago

And yet people still blame him for the game turning out the way it did, rather than SE for the horrible mismanagement of 13 and Namura for being overly ambitious.

Dwarrior139d ago

Whatever the behind-the-scenes went on over the many years, at the end of the day it was a radical change in direction that I could not go along with. Also why I never bought 16.

gold_drake139d ago

this is also why Sakaguchi (spelling) left.
