Support NeoGAF

[Mr. RPG]

....I think I love it? Haha.

i am dead inside now

I kinda love NeoGAF sometimes.

 

[duckroll]

This looks really fucking stupid. In a sickeningly adorable way.... >_>

 

[-Horizon-]

Oh crap I forgot chibi aranea would be a thing

Might actually get this now

 

[Mediking]

This is cute as heck. Who can hate this???

 

[AlexFlame116]

Now that I think about it, it reminds me of the Chibi style that the Final Fantasy III and IV DS versions were made with!

Eh kinda.

It's already available on mobile.

Wait what? Is it the stream version?

 

[True Fire]

This is an extremely cool concept. Some of you seem sad and bitter for no reason. I would've killed for a Final Fantasy VII downport back in the day.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

That's... kinda cool actually.
FFXV as a whole is one of the strangest AAA releases of this generation. Just baffling but it has been a fun ride honestly, I love this entire flawed mess. Now gimme XV-2 starring Iris, Aranea and Gentiana as pop singers.

 

[Jonneh3003]

GAF at it's worst right now. Defending an abomination like this and always spitting on Assassin's Creed Origins and Ubisoft whenever a new thread comes out.

Sometimes people enjoy different things. I don't care too much for Pocket Edition myself but other people are entitled to.

 

[Xalechim01]

Comical how Square can continue to reiterate whatever game they want into as many versions as possible. I'm sure it makes them good money, but I'll wait for the Ti-84 version

 

[clay_ghost]

Ha. I guess vita and switch version of this will be announced soon lol.

Or switch get noting lol.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

I'm ok with a conversion that takes a significant graphical downgrade but the aesthetic they decided to land on with this is repulsive, IMO.

This is a great idea with bad visual execution is basically my take.

 

[Mr. RPG]

This is cute as heck. Who can hate this???

I wanted this kind of art style for DS remakes of Final Fantasy V and VI, not for Final Fantasy XV!

Edit: Well, I mean Final Fantasy IV's DS art style anyway...

 

[Rymuth]

I'm laughing my ass off.

S-E will get a return on their FFXV investment, one way or another.

 

[MineralCraver420]

Can we just press the "YOKO TARO FINAL FANTASY XVI" button and save single-player Final Fantasy?

 

[SeanTSC]

Square and Final Fantasy XV:

 

[Death Penalty]

Wow, that looks genuinely terrible. I understand the need for diversification as a business and for extending franchises to new audiences, but it's becoming increasingly clear that SE is reaching for that audience without a mind for deference to what made the series such a massive name in the first place.

Sad part is I could see this business model working out for them. Here's hoping Final Fantasy doesn't go the way of Breath of Fire.

 

[Ydelnae]

I think it looks pretty good and cute. I don't like the dialogue boxes and the UI design, though.

 

[Tyaren]

I...I don't even know what to say... O:

 

[Toadthemushroom]

This has to be Matrix software.

GAF IS at its worst right now. It's a video game. It's not hurting anyone. If you're not interested, then move on. If you want better graphics, then go preorder the 8K HDR edition.

Not to mention this and DQXI are a great solution to Japan's console game problem.

 

[wmlk]

This actually looks pretty neat.

 

[ChasingComets]

DQ11 had its 3DS game. Now FFXV gets a mobile remake.

Should I expect a portable edition KH3 later on as well?

 

[texhnolyze]

This is cute as heck. Who can hate this???

/shrug

 

[LotusHD]

This is cute as heck. Who can hate this???

People that already didn't like the game to begin with I guess?

 

[Redx508]

 

[watershed]

The gameplay doesn't seem so bad. The character models remind me of the higher quality chibi cutscene models used in FF7 that weren't the cg full size models.

Edit: Watching the trailer, I could totally see this being the Switch version. It kind of reminds me of I am Setsuna too.

They're keeping the voice acting?

Okay 2 things.

1. Please fix Gladiolus. His lower body needs lots of work.

2. Try to make their mouths move. That's kinda jarring to me.

Now to take this to Twitter!

DQXI has been handled in a much classier manner than this game. It's not comparable.

Ah thanks.
Too bad the mouths don't move but otherwise it looks cute and fun.
But that's gonna be a huge download if they keep all the voice acting.

 

[Ydelnae]

I can't wait to see some of the cutscenes remade in this engine. This is going to be amazing for a quick laugh.

Square Enix is gunning for casual gamers, plain and simple. VII Remake is the game for old nostalgic gamers. They're being very smart businesswise. And they kind of have to be—Japan is cutthroat these days.

Think the graphics are ugly? They revealed an ultra graphic PC version yesterday.

Thanks!

Not having a PS4 I kinda like this idea. I'm not 100% convinced I want to play through on my phone but I think it's a pretty smart move by SE.

Luna will look even stronger in this engine.

 

[MattAces]

Just be glad that it isn't this.

 

[Rootbeer]

Hmm. I like it, I just wish it were an all new FF spinoff game in this style, not just FFXV all over again. Does put a dent in my interest. Still likely to snatch it at some point though.

Wish the faces animated too.

 

[FelipeMGM]

The blurb about it on the press release. All 10 episodes available at launch, 1st episode will be free

The FINAL FANTASY XV POCKET EDITION for iOS, Android and Windows 10 devices, to be released later this year, is an all-new adventure that retells the beloved story of FINAL FANTASY XV, giving fans and newcomers alike the freedom to journey through Eos whenever and from wherever they want. The mobile game features the main characters and story of the console version and newly-announced FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION, with an adorable art style and casual touch controls optimized for mobile devices. The main story is told across ten thrilling episodes, with all ten episodes available at launch and the first episode downloadable for free

It's not about the graphics. I just wish we could stop the double standard with Ubisoft here.

 

[oliverandm]

Oh my god... those faces...

Edit: I actually liked Final Fantasy XV a lot, so I think this is a cool alternative. I wonder if it's only the story or it has a lot of the post-story content.

 

[Mediking]

SOOOOOLLLLLLDDD!

 

[Devilgunman]

This actually..... looks fun. At least it no longer has shit camera the original has. I want to know if the stupid AoE still friendly fires.

 

[TRUE ORDER]

Lol
That artstyle... didn't expect this.

 

[texhnolyze]

People that already didn't like the game to begin with I guess?

Also people who hate anything mobile-related.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Aw heck I'm getting it now! Hopefully it runs good on the Note 8 (which apparently might get announced at the end of this month) and not like Dragon Quest 8 on my S7 Edge.

 

[Haunted]

oy vey

 

[duckroll]

It's not about the graphics. I just wish we could stop the double standard with Ubisoft here.

What double standard? Who are the people here who are excited for this who also post in Ubisoft threads?

 

[Pinko Marx]

It's funny that the gameplay looks more manageable than the console version.

 

[Monado Blade]

Should've just made it ATB and classic ugly FF7 style polygons to capture the retro crowd.

 

[Soar]

I...I think I'm going to skip the HD version and get this instead. That way the messed up story doesn't look like it takes itself seriously, and I can treat this like some cartoon.
