You’re Paying forThat Final Fantasy XV Demo

"I’m honestly surprised people have to even ask this. Isn’t it obvious? Square Enix is charging $60 because you’re paying some of that money for the Final Fantasy XV demo." -PSLS

To be honest. FF Type 0 is a great game. And while many is actually getting it for the demo, they will be surprised by how the great the game really is.

And paying for a demo is nothing new. People did that with Zone of The Enders for MGS2 demo and Crackdown for Halo 3 demo.

The two have become inseparable not only for the demo but also because i believe they are connected. Even if it called FFXV its still from the Fabula Nova Crystallis saga so i am pretty sure Class 0 and Lightning will be either there or at least mentioned.

I hope so!
I loved the PSP import. It deserves more attention.

vishmarx3726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

trust me, it may not look as lavish as AAA games on ps4
its a fun jrpg thatll last you a 100hrs, plus you get the ff xv demo
the way i see it there are far worse games to spend $60 on.visuals aside youll definitely get your money's worth.
depends on how much you care about graphics though.
because if they matter more , then you may get evolve for $145

far as im concerned , id have got it for $60 even without the demo

Neonridr3726d ago

I was just about to say that many people bought Crackdown for the Halo 3 demo. You beat me too it. ;)

Crackdown turned out to be a pretty good game as well.

DarkOcelet3726d ago

Crackdown was great yeah, shame people concentrated more on Halo 3 demo than the game itself.

The full destructible city idea of the remake seems to be pretty good. I cant wait to see the gameplay.

SilentNegotiator3726d ago

Between Crackdown and the Halo 3 beta, I had a lot of fun with that game.

GokuSolosAll3726d ago

Type-0 is actually a good game. Spin-offs are better than mainline entries in FF now. I'd prefer to have a $50 option to NOT demo that turd.

WeAreLegion3726d ago

That turd is going to be incredible.

NoctisPendragon3726d ago

You can do it , you only need to wait something like 1/2 months.

Kurisu3726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

I'd gladly pay full price for Type-0 with or without the FFXV demo. I pre-ordered before the demo was even announced!

GameBoyColor3726d ago

Lol we are getting the demo free and paying for type-0.

Dasteru3726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

Then we are paying double what Type-0 is worth, to get the demo "free". A remaster of a PSP game shouldn't be more than $30 and even that is pushing it.

I gave up on Squeenix years ago and honestly would not care if they went bankrupt right now. They are a bunch of narcissists that make crap games at absurd prices and completely ignore their fans. Never willing to admit when they are wrong.

Anyone who buys Type-0 at full price is a tool.

OrangePowerz3726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

I watched the comparison video and it looks like they put a lot if effort into the console version.

Also they never localised the PSP version for outside of Japan so they also need to account for the costs of that. Outside of Japan it's a completely new game that only a few people played if they imported the Japanese version.

I never played it and I'm perfectly fine with the normal price tag. If that makes me a tool fine.

Qrphe3726d ago

It's a 60hr long game with a lot more content than a lot of games nowadays.

OrangePowerz3726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

You pay for Type-0, the demo is an added bonus, one that most likely will be for free to download in the store at some point.

I also wouldn't call it a re release in the US and Europe since the PSP version was never released here and never officially translated.

Final Fantasy XV Datamine Reveals Hidden Chapter 14 Scene That Was Cut

A new datamine of game files from Final Fantasy XV has revealed a cut scene from Chapter 14 that didn't make it into the final release.

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125122d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501121d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne122d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989121d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga121d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989121d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga121d ago (Edited 121d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69122d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid121d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69121d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp122d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion374d ago (Edited 374d 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.

SonyStyled374d 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 Type-0 HD Review – Zero Regrets

Gary Green said: After finally getting the long-overdue platinum trophies for Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and XV, I wondered if I could manage another. Despite a few blunders, it’s a franchise worth showing off in your collection. I had to find another game with a realistically achievable platinum, which sadly rules out quite a few. Fortunately, I didn’t have far to look as I dusted off Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, which was, in fact, my very first PS4 game, and one that’s aging surprisingly well.
