Efffff, i read this as FFXV, lol

[zerocrossing]

Same here lol, oh well at least we know it's finally coming.

[fudgenasty21]

me to lol. but if i had to guess. id say FFXV will be out late 2014 or early 2015

Man, look at Lightning's outfit. Why do I keep seeing screenshots and trailers with Lightning wearing skimpy outfits? Is Square putting fan service in their games now?

[AceofStaves]

Two words. Tifa Lockheart.

This isn't anything new.

[pompombrum]

Tifa's outfit in FF7 made sense though.. she was living it rough in a hard area. The outfits for lightning just seem like pure fan service to me.

[Abriael]

@aiBreeze: Didn't know that "living it rough in a hard area" and "dressing skimpy" had any connection.

Someone's reaching.

[AceofStaves]

Her outfit had nothing to do with her environment and everything to do with displaying her (rather ample) assets, lol - not that there's anything wrong with that. Or what about Lulu in 'FFX.?' Her outfit, with its low-cut bustier and elaborate fur/leather detailing is hardly suitable for a tropical island climate like Besaid.

If it sells copies, more power to the character designers. I, for instance, bought 'Resident Evil 4' for the 'Cube and 'Devil May Cry' for PS2 back when both games launched because the male protagonists were attractive.

[SexyGamerDude]

But this game is different. Square felt the need to add customization and you know what that means. They are obviously going to be adding a bunch of skimpy wear, that is the thing I see the most in these trailers and screenshots.

[e-p-ayeaH]

Ladies look good on those outfits what´s wrong about that

[DarkBlood]

lol get a load of this guy from the comments on that site

"Hammer•20 minutes ago−

Xbox is the BEST. Kinect 2.0 is the future, and Sony (as always) copying ideas from the grand Microsoft (Blu-Ray + Online Connectivity and Social features). I'm not going to dump on Nintendo, because they died out many years ago.

Keep failing Sony Slaves/Nintendo Drones."

the butthurt is strong in that one.

[e-p-ayeaH]

Or its simple satire.

[e-p-ayeaH]

I hope Square is preparing FF16 (story,characters,etc) at this moment there´s no time to waste i dont wanna wait a whole gen for an another Final Fantasy game.

I hope FF15 wont turn out to be a series like FF13...

And then there´s the so requested FF7 remake i rather have new stories let it go.

[SexyGamerDude]

Oh, will you be dissapointed. They plan on making more than one 15 game. There was an article on here about it not too long ago.

And a 7 remake isn't happening. Square said it will take too much time and resources that they don't have.

[e-p-ayeaH]

well in that case i just hope that FFXV will be an amazing series.

[b3ast]

Awesome news I'll get it on ps3 first and if its good I'll get it for ps4 :D
