This looks absolutely beautiful.

"Thunder will be more powerful when it rains due to the interaction between electricity and water. Blizzard will freeze water and slow down enemies."

I love how natural elements in the game like Rain will affect Magic.

I feel this game will set the bar huge for JRPG and RPG games in general.

And Aranea looks badass and beautiful :3

Abriael3370d ago (Edited 3370d ago )

i'm in LOVE with Aranea.

Who said that Final Fantasy XV has no strong ladies again?

(PS: I bet someone will take issue with the fact that she wears a mask. I don't know, but I feel someone will find a way to protest it as demeaning or some such).

DarkOcelet3370d ago (Edited 3370d ago )

If people will complain then they should just stop watching this game.

I dont want anything changed at all.

Aranea looks badass as it is.

And btw Aranea was available in Versus XIII gameplay.

I love her new design.

I am so glad she is back and still super badass.

So now, we have to badass Female Dragoons.

The second picture you linked is of the character Gentiana.

Quatron3370d ago (Edited 3370d ago )

Who cares? I'm more concerned about the gameplay, it seems like it's even more simplistic not just in control but also how it looks. And that it's announced to be this year has me a bit worried. Also is it just me or are the health bars looking more and more tame?

camel_toad3370d ago

It's frickun beautimous. I really hope this is Final Fantasy's return to glory.

DarkOcelet3370d ago

And the game looks like its gonna have a really dark story.

sinspirit3370d ago

I hope this comes to PC just so they hopefully release a free benchmark just like FF14 has. Also, what if it did have a PC version and a huge modding community? Might be interesting. I want chocobo racing.

DarkOcelet3370d ago

I am pretty sure its coming to PC but maybe a year or two later.

And i am gonna buy it a second time when it comes to PC :)

ErebosTenebris3366d ago

I'm pretty sure there's gonna be chocobo racing without having to mod for it. Considering how ambitious they're being with this project, there's no way they wouldn't add it.

-Gespenst-3370d ago

Dragoon Lady! I thought we'd never see her again. Nice to have names to put to those other characters. The Assassin's Creed looking guy from the earlier trailers (DKS3713 Trailer, Advent Children Complete Trailer, e3 2013 trailer) is still a mystery though. Glauca reminds me of that big armored guy that the Assassin's Creed looking guy talks to in the 2013 e3 trailer. Maybe he's one of the "captains" that serves under Glauca. Then again, the AC looking guy was talking to him, and I'm starting to think the AC looking guy is from some other country, not Niflheim, meaning the big metal guy who reminds me of Glauca is probably not a Niflheim soldier / captain.

randomwannab3365d ago

"The female character introduced today is named Aranea Highwind and she’s in command of Niflheim’s 87th Airborne Unit, which is “kind of a mercenary unit.” She’s human and due to her ability in aerial combat, the army started to refer to her as “the Dragoon.”"

Kinda reminds me of Cid from Final Fantasy VII.

Relientk773370d ago

Hoping Final Fantasy XV is good

Nucler1003370d ago (Edited 3370d ago )

I need this game in my life. I don't know any other way to put it. I just need it.

I -, we, have waited too long. It's almost time.

March 30th....lets go.

DEATHxTHExKIDx3370d ago

This game looks so promising. Its nearly guaranteed greatness at this point.

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

DivineHand125120d 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.

Z501119d 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)

TheNamelessOne120d ago

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

Michiel1989119d 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.

Cacabunga119d ago

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

Michiel1989119d ago

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

Cacabunga119d ago (Edited 119d 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.

CrimsonWing69120d 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.

Becuzisaid119d 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.

CrimsonWing69119d 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.

gurp120d 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.

Petebloodyonion372d ago (Edited 372d 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.

SonyStyled372d 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 XV Review – A Royal Road Trip

Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
