I think you're being a bit extreme here, Wright. Even if it does have health regen, so did Xenoblade and that was an awesome (and tough) game.

So no issues here.

Yea i was going to say Xenoblade has it and its fine.  

But reading the quote it sounds more like the auto regen could happen during battle.  Like you cover or hide behind something while in a fight and you recover hp.  That doesn't sound cool imo.

Keep the regen to after battles.

I hope not!


Me too!

I hope they put some kind of potion or something useful instead of "automatic" regen.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Since auto-save in rpgs, or any game actually, there is no game over anymore.
You die and restart at the beginning of your last battle, so nothing matters anymore, you dont have to win the battles anymore. You cant lose your progress and restart at the beginning of the dungeon.
This feature brakes games imo.
Its not just a flaw or weakness, it really brakes rpgs because the challenge and pressure are gone.

Auto-heal after battles like in FFXIII is also something i dont like, but its not game breaking like auto-save.

there's nothing in there that says theres health regen. Or confirming it in anyway. The title of this thread, and video are sensationalistic.

Ofcourse, there could be since little is known about the gameplay systems... but the person doing the video just grasps at straws hanging onto one word that isn't health regen.


The original article makes it clearer.

http://www.siliconera.com/2015/01/22/final-fantasy-xv-director-reveals-cover-system-explains-whats-episode-duscae/

"I can’t go into too many details right now, but in terms of drawing from first person and third person shooting mechanics there is this covering system. It’s not like you’re covering yourself from a shower bullets, but there are some natural environments where you can recover your HP and then go back into battle. There are some other weapon related aspects that I will be able to reveal later on."

Anyway this isn't necessarily a bad thing.


But it doesn't seem very "RPG-like" don't you think?  I kinda wished they were to go back to the traditional turn base style of play.

Final Fantasy is always going to try something new in their main entries. They've always mixed it up, so expecting a rehash is foolhardy. If you want old school FF, they've made Bravely Default and 4 Warriors of Light.

But the difficulty of those battles are far more difficult than other FFs. As long as they balance difficulty, it shouldn't matter how they manage health and MP.

I'm seeing a lot of people are still holding FFXV to a higher standard than it will ever be.

Also who the fuck uses potions in a Final Fantasy game?

I used potions in the fight against the three Dark Magus Sisters because Final Fantasy X doesn't even have a decent multitarget healing spell.
