Tabata on FFXV: NPCs, AI Routines, Towns, Excessive Boob Jiggling (Part II)

Part II of Automaton's uncut translation of Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata's interview with Famitsu. This time Tabata reminisces over the loss of excessive boob jiggling as well as expanding on how the "road-trip" theme plays into the overarching structure of the game.

"Excessive Boob Jiggling"
that's all that matters

Final Fantasy: Jiggling Boobies. I've already preordered 24 copies.

I can't hear angry SJWs over the sound of boobs jiggling...

[Roccetarius]

Shh, they're too busy playing Dead or Alive.

Either way, i'm not sure where the excessive boob jiggling comes from, considering it was pretty normal.

[Articuno76]

Tabata means it was excessive when the jiggling was first shown to him during development. Apparently what we've seen is the toned down version... which gets me curious as to what the original version was like.

[NoctisPendragon]

What they did to ff type 0 is awsome , cant believe !!!!!

[hkgamer]

pretty good read. all parts of the interview has been translated.

still dont really understand the battle mechanics properly. but i guess we will learn more later on.

Click on this article again. The author has added part 3 and 4 and Tabata goes into details about the battle system. Scroll down past this article and there should be an update with part 3.

[hkgamer]

yeah, ive read it. its just a little confusing at the moment. it says we can preset combos. but what happens if we want to change combo because it isnt working so well?

magic hasnt really been explained aswell, but i guess he wants to reveal that later.

i just want to know what we actually do in battle. do we just hold x and watch are strategies play out, similar to ffxii without having the need to hold down a button. or can we make adjustments inside the battle.

dont really see the point of holding down the attack button, why not auto atk? seems like this game is stuck between two battle systems. original abttle system that was more real time like kh and something like xii.

not criticising it, just dont understand it so far. have to wait for demo i guess.

[Articuno76]

You know, maybe this is part of why they're putting out a demo. There's something about this system that's difficult to convey without trying it.
