No playable female characters? FU then!


Should every game have stories with females as playable protagonists?

Why can't I play a male in Tomb Raider? -___-


I was mocking Assasins Creed Unity.



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

You can't rush perfection.

So I'm guessing a 2017 release date then.

2 things

- noctis only playable character
- sausage fest part only

already made my hype shrink.

How do you take only male playable characters to mean you only control Noctis.

VXIII said:If you have been following the project news you would know that the concepts like huge areas to explore, car even airplane were planned since the beginning. The world in XV is familiar for anyone who played FF games, the most recent example is Gran Pulse in XIII. The battle system looks very different. Xenoblade, like XII before it, use elements that usually found in MMOs. It is heavily based on menus. XV goes beyond that, it is more focused on real-time movement, using the environment and weather to your advantage and controlling the rest of the party through commands. Also no need to mention switching between different weapons on the fly ( hopefully it will be done right).

I hope you realize that even a relatively small Jrpg as Tales of Xillia sold more than Xenoblade. "The biggest success story" for companies is measured by sales, I assure you. Xenoblade is your personal "biggest success". Value is in the eye of the beholder, indeed.

So yes, keep going..

Impact isn't measured in just sales. You can find countless articles and editorials written about how Xenoblade saved JRPG's last gen which were stagnant, and dying out to western RPG hybrids prior to Xenoblade's impact. Since then JRPG's have come back in style in a big way and Square Enix decided to focus on traditional JRPG's again and not western oriented ones (Bravely Default for example). It's not like it's just my opinion or something.

Sales is the biggest factor for companies, a company just wouldn't "rebuild" its biggest project around a game that sold 0.85M worldwide. Also, SE focusing on traditional JRPGs has nothing to do with Xenoblade, as it is not a traditional JRPGs itself. Xenoblade is probably a great game ( I didn't play it myself ) but there is no need to exaggerate its impact.

I'm glad we agree on the other points.

From here :

" There are no menu commands in combat. It controls like an action game where players switch between offense and defense. You can only control Noctis, but you can give orders to other party members. And there are menus to give commands to everyone, swap out weapons, etc. "

Noctis is the only character that can warp and use magic ( story related ), the other characters have no unique skills or special abilities, I guess that why they changed their original plan.

I don't want to jump the gun here, but this article literally ruined my day. Honestly, I don't feel well at the moment.

I will try the demo and if it is as this... human being makes it sounds to be I'll try to start a campaign on Twitter or something. "I myself am not getting any younger" Are you kidding me ?

this sucks :S

just when I got excited and said it is a true next gen game, what is the point to have depth and graphics, if the simplest and most core feature of an RPG - character control -  is not there :/

is it really and RPG anymore? seems closer to a deep action game, taking that into account
