Can we get German food too?

And didn't they say a few days ago that you'll be able to summon Titan. Now you can't?

[DarkOcelet]

I believe he cant be summoned in the demo but will be summoned in the game and i wonder if the cooking will affect the party like in Tales of Vesperia, that will be great.

[levian]

Yea, that comment is completely wrong. I read in a different interview that Titan won't be usable in the demo because something something it's integral to the plot, so we're going to be given access to one that isn't. Don't know which at the moment.

[Adrian_v01]

@levian @DarkOcelet & @Hammad

It says nothing about the info being tied to the demo. The interview was about the upcoming game, not the demo. It's the same with Noctis being the only playable character. First everyone assumed this is only bound to the demo but now we know it's in the final version.

[levian]

@Adrian_v01

It has to be talking about the demo regardless of whether or not it says it. Take a look at this

Tabata: I guess so. Well, that... That's Titan. And it's a summon, and we're planning on it being usable at that size, but with summons in XV – you saw them fighting Titan [in the trailer] – you have to fight them like that, or you obtain them in other ways. Basically, you're going to obtain them through different methods.

Host: I see.

Tabata: And, well, talking about Titan, we actually wanted to put it in the demo and let players actually use it and talk about that.

Hote: Yes.

Tabata: Unfortunately, it turns out Titan is a summon that plays a rather important role in the plot, so we're putting a different summon in Episode Duscae to show players what happens when you tame one or when you use one. So we're putting the prototype of the summon system in the demo, so I hope people can actually try it out and see what it's like.

[HammadTheBeast]

You can summon in full game, not in the demo.

[Dabigsiebowski]

My number one anticipated game ever since the announcement in 2006. The long delay could pay off if square delivers what fans want. Please don't chop up content for dlc or even worse "coff" sequels squ enix and we could have a new final fantasy which possibly might contend with the classics. Still wish this was Sony exclusive to get the full power out of the machine but it should be stellar none the less.... Please consider FFXVI as a PS4 exclusive and really let it pay off in terms of tech and loyal consumer.

[Tetsujin]

My hype for the game died off, at this point if/when it does get released, I'll think about playing it.

[MeteorPanda]

YAY! micromanagement! l love that smaller details, gotta farm so many ingredients for deh best foods!

[Inception]

Tales series did it first with making food and ingredients. In japan, Namdai even made a cafe that serve foods from Tales series. And now looks like FF followed it too.

[MeteorPanda]

please don't start that...who did what first is irreverent to me. Also any micromanagement makes me a happy camper really.

[FACTUAL evidence]

Not too familiar with tales series, but in 2002 a game called legaia 2: dual saga did the whole camping/food system. You also created better weapons once you camped if you had the materials.

[Squall_23]

Fix : you can't summon the titan in the -demo- not the full game ..

[Viryu]

I hope Bahamut will look as awesome as always.

[DarkOcelet]

I also hope Gilgamesh makes a comeback in this one , he was such a disappointment in the dlc in XIII-2, i want to steal his items again like in XII :).

[NoctisPendragon]

I think you ll love the Gilgamesh from FF Type 0.

[levian]

@Noctis

That makes me very happy! I don't know much about Type 0, but I'm really looking forward to it.

[NoctisPendragon]

i didnt like the Bahamut in FF XIII-2 , he wasnt even a bird .

[Kumomeme]

he was a 'plane'

[HammadTheBeast]

I hope he'll be the Final Fantasy IX type one.

[Viryu]

I kinda like Bahamut Zero from FFVII most, multiple pairs of wings are always awesome. FFIX is also smecksy though.

[Eiyuuou]

I still hope Stella is in the game...

[masterfox]

the beer ?

[Eiyuuou]

No, not Stella Artois... I like your way of thinking though ;)

[scark92]

I hope not, I am more of a Vodka kind of guy!

[Summons75]

She's been in the recent trailers so it's pretty obvious...

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

She isn't in any of the trailers from this year. That girl from the trailer is named Luna which Tabata confirmed himself.

[NoctisPendragon]

We still see her when she was a kid.And Noctis couldnt realy be Noctis whitout Stella (they have the same gift ).

[night93]

I can think of two scenarios right now. One: When SQ improved the graphics they also changed the name of Stella to Luna. Or two: Luna resembles Stella alot, maybe she is Stella's twinsister.

[HentaiMasterRace]

I hoped that she wasn't scrapped because I loved her design.

[Feriku]

I'm glad I came here and read this, because I thought the woman in the recent trailers was Stella. Somewhere, I must've missed the introduction of Luna.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Well...she was in the trailer that was shown like 3 days ago...soo umm, I hope Noctis is still in the game?

[Eiyuuou]

That was Luna, not Stella. We haven't seen her in years. It's possible that they changed Stella into Luna though.

I do hope they didn't change the story and that they will have to oppose each other despite their feelings.

[tigertron]

40 minutes day and only 15 minutes night? that's a bit strange.

[LemyAtom]

I guess it's a similar ratio to what you'd get in summer. I'm guessing the remaining 5 minutes is 2 1/2 for sun rise and 2 1/2 for sun set.
