I want to be and I'm hoping it will be great. I'm a little apprehensive about the boy band looking party though. Hopefully I can get them looking better through the customisation I've seen some of.

joethetimelord3096d ago (Edited 3096d ago )

You start off with four clothing options for each character, some of which actually put a shirt on Gladio. Ignis has something a little less flamboyant, but only a little. Noctis also has some more "normal" looking clothes. There's no hope at all for Prompto, though.

No telling what other outfits will turn up, though, at least not till release.

bouzebbal3096d ago (Edited 3096d ago )

never been this excited for a FF since FFX had to come out.
It looks so good and has a serious tone into it.
Cannot wait to put my hands on this day one. I doubted this game a lot after XIII disaster but it seems that it doesn't have the flaws from its predecessor.

Tdmd3096d ago

I've played the judgment disc demo and was absolutely blown away! By everything! It's so beautiful, so fluid, runs so well, combat is so fun. But yeah, that boyband look is... something... lol

ifinitygamer3096d ago

Really? The game looks so good!

Kashima3096d ago (Edited 3096d ago )

I'll save my money for FF12 zodiac edition and FF7 remake.

SirBradders3096d ago

you going to miss out bro.

Kashima3096d ago

@SirBradders i played the latest jp demo, the combat was so boring and messy, a mashy button game with no tactics, the camera goes banana during whole fights, awful AI party do some silly dancing-like animations thats out of place, terrible textures on rocks and trees etc, the lake was painted lol and the magic system is stupid, there's more bad things.

Tdmd3096d ago

I'll get both. At launch. So very excited for FF12-Z as well! Not holding my breath for FF7R tho... I guess it will be a very long time 'ill I could put my hands on it anyways.

joethetimelord3096d ago

My time with the Judgment Disc alone was absolutely fantastic, and I couldn't even read or understand the dialogue. I'm more hyped for this game than ever.

Goldby3096d ago

same here, it was an incredible demo

KosherNostra3096d ago

The only thing I'm apprehensive about is the combat. During fights, I thought the camera was too close, the button-mashing redundant, and the strategy non-existent. I don't think I needed to dodge/roll at all in any of the demos, and when I tried it just for kicks, I found the O button unresponsive.

Segata3096d ago

Yup the timing is off and you're wright there is no strategy. It's more focused on the cool animations than doing anything really functional or meaningful. The game is snake oil. It looks wonderful presented in a very slick way and obviously high budget but remove that and you have a very problematic RPG with many poor game design choices. The only part of Square as a company that still understands truly how to design a RPG is Enix with Dragon Quest. If anyone tries to point out Nier Automata....Platinum Games is making it and despite their rep for action games they know how to design RPGs as well.

Goldby3096d ago

this isn't a hold "o" to win game, there is strategy, which weapons to use when, when to dash, and when to attack, then add in the warp function for attacks between enemies.

No strategy.. comon man, did you even play judgement disc?

_-EDMIX-_3096d ago

" It's more focused on the cool animations than doing anything really functional or meaningful"

Oh you played the final thing? How was the ending?

So no elemental damage or status effects? I'd hold off before making dumb claims bud, you couldn't actually just run through Kingdom Hearts like DMC bud, sooooo I'm pretty sure the same applies to FFXV. Your suggesting one of the most know companies in the world that creates RPGs, doesn't know how to create RPGs.......

Sure. I'll wait to play the FINAL game myself before listening to someone who played a part of a demo and made a final judgement based on fighting a few enemies.

Yes...because RPGs can be judged based on the first couple battles, they never change at all over time /s lol

joethetimelord3096d ago (Edited 3096d ago )

There are options to increase or decrease camera distance, the gameplay in Judgment was locked on easy mode but still had some difficult enemies (the flaming sword Iron Giant and Cactuar to name two) that did require some strategy from my experience, and dodge/roll is mapped to the square button. Just holding down circle got me knocked around on the heftier higher level enemies.

Here's hoping the other difficulties are a little more challenging in the end, though. There are already some players who've made good use of the battle system and it doesn't look bad at all.

_-EDMIX-_3096d ago

" the button-mashing redundant' No need to mash, you can pause the game and just select your moves....

" the strategy non-existent" You got all the abilities and weapons? When did you beat the final game?

Do you not get how stupid it is to make such a comment on an RPG? Thats like me playing a demo of FFX and telling you how the battle system is " strategy non-existent." yet I've yet to actually get all the abilities ,summons, level up etc.

I can't render a verdict on the gameplay of an RPG that I've yet to actually master bud, I'd need to play a large amount of it to actually say as they change over time as you face different enemies, get different weapons, summons, abilities etc

How can hour 1 tell you whats in hour 55?

Sorry but it sounds really dumb. Like your new at RPGs dumb.....

Rob_Ko3096d ago

I recommend to watch Kingsglaive before this game. Really fun movie and great introduction to the world of FFXV

joethetimelord3096d ago

Can't wait to see how Nyx ties into the story, especially if some of the theories about him hold weight.

Summons753096d ago

It was a great movie. Though there is like 40 minutes that really drag after the beginning battle, but once the action picks up again it's just amazing till the end.

FullmetalRoyale3096d ago

Yeah I still need to watch that, and Brotherhood. I just recently decided to get XV, so I have some homework to do, I just need to make the time.

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

raWfodog1h ago(Edited 1h 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.

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

DivineHand125134d 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.

Z501133d 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)

TheNamelessOne134d ago

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

Michiel1989133d 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.

Cacabunga133d ago

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

Michiel1989133d ago

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

Cacabunga133d ago (Edited 133d 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.

CrimsonWing69134d 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.

Becuzisaid133d 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.

CrimsonWing69133d 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.

gurp134d 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.

Petebloodyonion386d ago (Edited 386d 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.

SonyStyled386d 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?
