Pretty sure the first western reviews can stop the hype train quite abruptly^^

Didn't you know that the reviews for FFXIII were actually wrong because the game is a piece of shit? Just ask anyone on this forum who pretends to be a FF fan.

Can you add me as a brick wall in front of the car? I'd like to stop, crash and burn this hype car.

Sure, but we will simply drive through you unharmed and unscathed. Nothing can stop the hype now, NOTHING!!!

You are aware FFXIII has an 83 on meta with scores like 9.25 from Game Informer, a 8.9 from IGN and an 8 from Eurogamer. Surely if what some call the worst game ever can review that well FFXV's reviews will be fine.

I didn't know that, thanks :p

You are a kinda a hard fellow to figure out, you know.

Well, I have seen the error of my ways. I never could see FFXIII as the piece of shit it actually is, so I try to make amends by hating on the next FF game that doesn't look like FF. This time I'll get it right :)

the interview was great, today i was having some doubts about the game and i was wondering if it could suffer a downgrade in graphics like watchdogs, afterall FFXV looks simply to good to be true, but after reading the interview i have confidence that it will at least look as good as it does now, since its supposedly only at 70% and their aiming to 100%, and the demo will be at 80% (better looking that the trailers).

i expect this game to release in 2016, and if we are lucky late 2015. (i really hope we are lucky).
also im kind of dissapointed that you can only control one character but oh well its one amazing character plus the game really is open world and i get to DRIVE the car so that makes it up for me.


I think he's referring to the demo.

Yeah I remeber seeing you be able to play as the whole party, albeit 1 member at a time so hopefully thats still in the game.

yeah i saw that trailer, but since that trailer was from way back when the game used to be called FF Versus 13 i thought they changed their plans when they went "next" gen and made it so you could only play as the protagonist, but i do hope he is just talking about the demo and that you can actually play as all of them in the actual game.

Noctis is the only one with the ability to teleport and use magic, I'm pretty sure he is the only controllable character in the actual game, it almost doesn't make sense to control the other character because they have no special abilities of their own.

i know that, but even if the other characters are less "useful" or not as strong as noctis i would still appreciate the option to play as them.



"Weapons are set in a deck. During battle, the deck will choose the most appropriate weapon for the battle based on the situation."

I really don't like the sound of that. I prefer to know the pace of my attacks, thanks you.

"Movements that are associated with the buttons and building upon them for actions through the combat system"

"Switch between an offensive stance and a defensive stance with the push of a button.”

"holding down the attack button creates a string of interlinking attacks, while holding down the defend button will guard enemy attacks."

 

The way he describes it, it sounds more like Lightning Returns than XII, but that wouldn't be smart thing to say..


So more or less like like LR with controllable AI?

Doesn't sound too bad honestly.

The combat system in LR was praised by almost all reviews. add to that full real-time, more fluidity and controllable AI. I think we have a winning formula here.

I think the combat will be a combination of FF12, KH and FF13:LR. 

There will be a FF12 like gambit system where you can set general context based commands for your different party members that you can simply mix and match based on which party members you have on the team. Things like, cast haste at start of battle> cast cure when HP below 20%> cast protect when enemy physical attack deals greater than 40% damage...etc but will be much deeper than what was in FF12. And I think it will take some of KH combat elements where you can perform context based team attacks with your party members and group limit attacks.

A system like above is pretty much the only way to effectively have realtime combat that isn't ATB based and menu heavy.
