Tabata Talks Chocobos, Tonberries, Cities and Story With Famitsu

Final Fantasy Union: "As director Hajime Tabata said it would be, Gamescom 2015 was a big show for Final Fantasy XV and in his latest interview with Famitsu Magazine, Tabata (and some of the wider team) reveals even more information regarding Final Fantasy XV's development."

Aww, that's the one piece of news that makes me disappointed. The fact that they haven't decided to put Tonberries or Cactuars in the game. :[

Here's hoping they'll make it in before it launches! Those are Final Fantasy staples right there, wouldn't be the same without them.

Lucreto3595d ago

It's not a Final Fantasy game without Chocobo's, Tonberries, Cactuars or the Victory fanfare.

Hopefully all will be included.

3-4-53595d ago

That City looks awesome.

Asuka3595d ago (Edited 3595d ago )

Would be kool if they brought back Biggs and Wedge in some way. Haven't seen them in an FF as of late, at least not that i can recall???

Kurisu3595d ago

There's a Biggs and Wedge in FFXIV! :)

F0XHOUND3595d ago

The Graphics here look almost too good for consoles, yet with no PC release are we getting something that much ahead of what we've currently come to expect? Looks awesome!

Here's to hoping we don't get a watered down version leading up to release and post release like usual!

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3595d ago

I can't recall one time a Final Fantasy game has ever been downgraded honestly. We should expect an upgrade considering what Tabata has been telling us about the game.

_-EDMIX-_3595d ago

Not really, many are playing FFXV's demo right now and its legit THAT good looking. Square has never done something like that before so.
Also it will likely come to PC as Square is becoming more PC friendly, look at FFXIII and other FF titles on PC now.

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom36d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7736d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

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

DivineHand125171d 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.

Z501170d 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)

TheNamelessOne171d ago

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

Michiel1989170d 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.

Cacabunga170d ago

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

Michiel1989170d ago

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

Cacabunga170d ago (Edited 170d 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.

CrimsonWing69171d 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.

Becuzisaid170d 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.

CrimsonWing69170d 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.

gurp171d 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.

Petebloodyonion423d ago (Edited 423d 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.

SonyStyled423d 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?
