They poured a lot of money into XV's development. Getting the absolute most from it with the console DLC, PC 4K release, and the mobile version seems like a sound decision. I doubt the new versions were costly to develop. I don't care for the art style, but there will be people that are interested in this

 

[Dunkley]

Man a simpler version of FFXV's story might actually not be that bad so I am interested.

Gladio's design is awful tho, he doesn't look like he actually has any eyes. Is this what Cup Noodles does to you?

 

[YoRHa No.2 Type B]

I just think they didn't want their original models to be wasted.

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

And here i was.... thinking that square-enix wouldn't surprise me with their shit anymore

What a fool!

(god i can't stop laughing at gladiolus)

 

[Sadist]

Well that's certainly something

 

[Darksol]

None of the gameplay or graphics with all of the plot we know and love!

/s

 

[BasilZero]

Amazing.


They are gonna make so many different variations of this game lmao.

 

[TheCed]

I want a Microwave version Please Square !

 

[Keym]

Stella died for this.

 

[TheCed]

Stella died for this.

She's happier where she is.
Trust me.

 

[Koozek]

I hope this killed any hope you had about S-E revisiting the Versus plotlines in any reworked version of the game.

Dreams don't die.

 

[Munti]

For a smartphone game, I think it actually looks graphically (and maybe also gameplaywise?) quite ok and ambitious. Not simplified too much.

Also, the "New Empire" has for some reason many downloads. So I guess this will also attract some of these players. And because the "New Empire" is being heavily advertised, and thus the brand, I think it will indirectly also help to sell the Pocket Edition.

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Looks arse. What happened to Gladio?

 

[Celine]

[...] retells the beloved story of FINAL FANTASY XV

Ahahahahah

 

[DukeLongfellow]

Cool idea, gameplay looks more than servicable for a mobile game. Nothing against it whatsoever.

But holy Christ, those character models are just ass. It needs to be reworked completely to be appealing.

 

[Zafir]

Gotta keep milking I guess.

At least it looks better than that empire building mobile game that they came out with before for XV....

 

[theofficefan99]

Glad a vast majority of Youtube comments for the Pocket reveal trailer videos are negative.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Glad a vast majority of Youtube comments for the Pocket reveal trailer videos are negative.

We know you are.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

Dreams don't die.

lets dream.

 

[Widge]

Considering I never get time to sit in front of my PC atm, this looks really awesome.

 

[Munti]

Glad a vast majority of Youtube comments for the Pocket reveal trailer videos are negative.

And the wast majority of the liking-button is green. So? I don't think that this means a lot

 

[SeppOCE]

I don't wanna be that guy but this means we might get FF15 on the switch one day right? lol wtf

 

[george_us]

Looks better then the console version, so that's a plus.

I wouldn't say that but it does look charming as hell. Wish it was a new game in that format. I'd play it.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I'm sold lol. The only way it could be better is if they'd made it low poly like FFVII with prerendered backgrounds and all.

 

[Lonely1]

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.

What? There games have performance problems on the Edge 7? I guess that's why the framerate in the trailer is bad.

 

[theofficefan99]

And the wast majority of the liking-button is green. So? I don't think that this means a lot

Touche. I think it does tho. It's Youtube. Everyone (no I don't mean literally) uses it. At the very least it shows that people dissatisfied with XV are more than just a "vocal minority."

 

[xzeldax3]

I don't wanna be that guy but this means we might get FF15 on the switch one day right? lol wtf

Maybe after the Nvidia shield version.

 

[saturnine]

I remember a time when Final Fantasy was synonymous with prestige and cachet.

S-E sticking to the FFXIII ethos of milking the shit out of a middling title. At least they might put what money they earn with this strategy toward producing games befitting of their pedigree.

 

[Widge]

I have absolutely 0 idea why the existence of this is a bad thing?

I'm going to be able to play a nice looking FF game on my phone. It is better than not having this option.

I mean I was happily ploughing through FFT this morning... great to have stuff like this on phone.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

Is that it for gamescom?
What about the poll? What about the dlc?
They seriously have nothing else to share.

 

[Kuosi]

5$ to push that car few meters more, otherwise come back tomorrow

 

[Widge]

I think this is more than likely tainted with people being all "OMG MOBILE GAME Y U NOT MAKE PROPER GAME". There is a bit of a kneejerk reaction the very second something like iOS is mentioned, assuming because people cannot see that there is more to an audience than people plugged into their front room.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

I dunno, people here were quick to disregard the likes ffxv trailers usually got during its marketing citing casuals.

 

[Widge]

Or, first chapter free, pay for the subsequent 9 - as implied.

 

[Yohane]

I'll buy if they have turn base combact

 

[Munti]

I'm there with you. While I deeply like this game, there is probably a not so small number of people that is dissatisfied with it and that's ok to express it.

Regarding the pocket edition: I think it's good for people that are interested in the final fantasy brand but don't have a console (or powerfull pc). Could maybe be the entry drug

 

[Aizo]

Let people on mobile have it if they want. I suppose it's nice to have options. Personally, I'm not interested at all.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Touche. I think it does tho. It's Youtube. Everyone (no I don't mean literally) uses it. At the very least it shows that people dissatisfied with XV are more than just a "vocal minority."

I mean, by the looks of the like/dislike ratio, there are demonstrably more people who liked that video than people who disliked it. Anyone who vocalizes their dislike is by definition a part of the "vocal minority".

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I'll buy if they have turn base combact

Yeah, i think its strange that it doesnt have it. Alot of people asked for turn based combat in FFXV and turn based makes more sense on a touch screen.

Oh well.

 

[Kazuhira]

Chibi Noct and Cindy are cute though.
Gladio needs to be killed with fire,too manly to have a chibi version i guess.

 

[PAULINK]

I miss creative ports like this, very cool.

 

[jipewithin]

Didn't expect this. Looks kind of charming.

 

[Toth]

Very weird but could be very interesting. More excited by the Bestiary and chapter select mode though haha

Ff7 exists they've been milking since than

 

[CTLance]

Yikes. Then again, FFXV is not to my liking so this isn't targeted at me at all. Oh well.

I see they finally announced it. Couldn't believe this when someone mentioned this last week. What a huge switch in art direction.

It's their go-to tactic when their poly and texture budget goes below next-next gen targets. Remember the DS remakes of the earlier FF's? It's a cheap and easy way to keep performance requirements within reasonable constraints.

At least that's what I'm telling myself...

 

[Palabragrís]

I'm a FF fanboy since the 90s, and even I think this is an interesting, but unnecessary idea.

Stop milking the way out of FFXV, Square. You're killing the game :/

 

[Mailbox]

Just looked at the trailer and...

Is it weird that I actually kinda dig it? Like, i kinda like the style they are going for.

I wonder if they are including the character dlc stories into this.

 

[seady]

I have no problem with it. It's just like the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI compare with PS4 version. And 3DS version sold better than the PS4 version in Japan.

 

[Devilinthiscity]

Not digging the character design. Gladio looks horrendous. So this is just a retelling of the story but for casual fans right? It would be cool if they added more story content or fleshed it out more in this, but that is expecting too much out of SE.
