Just learned that Noctis is now the only playable character in FFXV. That makes me sad, back when it was called Versus XIII you could play as any of the characters, each with a unique fighting style. Gladiolus had huge buster swords, Ignis had a katana, and Prompto had a gun with a 3rd person shooter perspective. It was ambitious but also awesome. But I guess some concessions had to be made to finally get the game finished. Still sucks though, just killed some of my hype for the game : (

That was one aspect of FF XIII I really disliked, I'm disappointed to see it continue in XV. I get that the combat system is different, but would it really be that hard to enable switching control to a different member of the party?

XII was a good example of this setup. You could pick which party member you wanted to control, and set up AI behavior to use different tactics. You only got a Game Over when your entire party was defeated.

Oh it was annoying in XIII, but it sounds so much worse in XV. When they say only playable character they literally mean it. You can't choose to play as anyone else, at least you could change the one character you played as in XIII.

That's very true. As much as I disliked XIII, I think I'd prefer a continuation of that battle system over this one. Maybe things will get tweaked as time goes on though. I'm not really gonna hold my breath though, this is SE after all xD

I'm honestly starting to lose hype for FF XV. I think i'll skip all the news until Type Zero on the One and play the demo then. Only one character as playable? Ugh...

Game looks more of like a Devil may Cry than a typical FF game. Just my opinion though.

I agree completely.. I honestly don't know why so many users are so damn excited for that game..

I saw a ton of footage from X from the Nintendo treehouse at E3, and that's the kind of JRPG I honestly would rather play right now. Although those facial animations... 

Still need to play the first Xenoblade either on Wii U from BC, or when I get the new 3DS on that platform..

And yeah, it's all about keeping expectations in check. The more i see people get soooooo overly hyped, the more chance I can see it not living up for them, but that's their business, not mine :P

It kind of looks crap, but I'm still excited

There are so few good JRPGs these days, so almost anything will do

Well, that's a very big problem right there.. :/
