They sure do love adding new content in this game, but won't fix the frame pacing for base PS4 users. With patch 1.13 it seems worse to me. Every time you turn the camera its a stutery mess.

Playing that game feels like drowning in quicksand. I'll give it a second chance when it comes to PS4 with the turbo feature.

So there's a XV Easter egg in the AC trailer or just in Omen?

Origins Cinematic Trailer had the Dog, Umbra as a cameo.
Wow, this one was so obvious that I didn't even think about it.
Also, FFXV x Horizon next. Or Persona 5.

Man that's so fucking cool. I wish we saw this a lot more in video games.

I'm also really glad that Cindy is getting more attention. Prompto Noctis gets to impress her with his parkour skills.

This game is so weird. XV was my GOTY (barely edging Witness) last year, and, for all its rough edges and poor story telling, I still love the core game. The world, the character dynamics, the battle system, the mythology, the end, the music, Aranea and Cor, tons going on that I appreciate.
I try not to get too fussed about promotional deals and cross-overs and whatever, but it's hard not to feel that, in this case, they really emphasize what's most wrong w/ XV: devotion to coherent, internally consistent story telling. They had all sorts of cool ideas and bolted them together in a weird way. Given the lack of a meaningful narrative throughline around which everything else is tightly wrapped, it seems not that big a deal to shoe-horn in all this other random crap (cup of noodles hat, assasins creed event, in-world multiplayer expansion, etc). Some of this random crap may be fun in its own right, but it all flies in the face of narrative credibility and believability.
Like, I can't imagine FF VI having had this kind of post-hoc add-on afterlife. How could I accept, say, a Star Fox cameo or something in VI when the world and the story of that game were so carefully crafted and held together so tightly. It just wouldn't make any kind of sense.
In XV, it's less jarring given the sloppy nature of how the game was put together, and that really bothers me.
Games as disjointed experiences may better lend themselves to these kinds of out-of-universe cross-overs, but I don't want the financial benefit of such cross-overs to start infecting the core game design sensibility on big single player games....

Didn't Lightning Returns also had something similar with Assasins Creed? Its not like there is no precedent

Neighbours from Hell
This is timed DLC? Meaning if you don't play it right away the assassin's outfit and festival are gone forever?
Or will one of them be available later as optional DLC?
I'm asking because I've yet to play Final Fantasy XV, but I think this sounds cool.

XIII-2 actually. They also had some Mass Effect armor DLC.
It looked pretty nice. Never bought it myself since I only rented the game.

Should have been Evie or Aveline but close enough!

Heh. My problem obviously is that I still view games as first and foremost narrative vehicles. Like, I blanch similarly when XV suddenly includes Assassin's Creed as I would if The Hobbit featured a cross-over cameo from I Robot or something.

I tried my best being new at this!
Why would they spend millions to make a photo-realistic CG tie-in movie with most of the established plot cut from the actual main game and replace the actual in-game voices with more expensive Hollywood actors with less voice acting experience but higher paycheck requirements?

I'm surprised you're still moaning in these threads after all the complaints you got in the Forza Horizon 3 Regalia DLC thread.
Oh I meant the person though.
But I didn't know that Ignis did that in the manga! Cool!
It's still good! I love it.

People are complaining because the base game, at least to the ones complaining, is still incomplete ass. Just because you guys are blind enablers doesn't mean everyone else has to be. Resources were allocated to this. So like duh some people will complain even tho it's free and "fun"
"All the complaints"?
I think maybe your creepy fixation on my posts and "I'm hiding a dark secret" levels of compensatory positivity and corporate ball washing in every FFXV thread have you confusing me with someone else.
My only contribution to that thread was pointing out how everyone came up with the same exact joke anticipating a post that never happened - a true circlejerk.
Wow! Cool! Awesome! Amazing! Woohoo!

You're not a blind enabler if you enjoy content that someone doesn't.
Sometimes it feels like defenders for XV are out for blood sometimes.

There's a XV manga?
There's manga for games all the time.
There's some for Persona, Assassin Creed and even Killzone.

Fair enough, but it's absolutely not hard to see why people would be upset at this. And the pocket edition. And the other stuff like the carnival.
"Who needs the power of kings, when you have the power... of assassins?"
So much jank in that video, the (scripted) parkour mechanics look wonky as hell, and the dialogue is so cheesy, but that just makes me love it even more. It's kind of weird how you can like a weird game because it's weird and not because it's good, but that's how I feel about FFXV right now.

This is so random. I like it. I haven't played Assassin's Creed since Black Flag, and I'm super early in my FFXV play through, but I actually like random collaborations like this. Maybe it's growing up in the 80's, where I always wanted to have GI Joe, Transformers, Thundercats, Voltron, and He-Man to cross over. lol
Give me some Horizon/Witcher non-canon DLC for both games and I'll be happy.

First of all...
Second, Battleborn should have been included in that poll. Or Brink.
I think it has more to do with seeing the same posters complaining about the same things even if it isn't what the topic of the thread is about... Maybe.
