Plot twist: Tenebrae is located up in the clouds.

I think negativity creates drama that FFXV GAF loves debating on for no real reasons because they didn't really played the game to forge an opinion, because... what else would there be to discuss if not :/

I saw a stream on PS4 earlier that was definitely post-Altissia.
But I didn't see anything involving outdoor areas, so I still couldn't say.

That's the spirit! I'm of two minds - knee jerk online pre game hating won't have any impact on my assessment of the game (and hopefully enjoyment) on its own merits.
But there's a real tail-wags-the dog phenomenon with this type of pile-on. If the game ends up being good, I want SE to get the support to make more good games, as opposed to getting torn down by a pre-engineered negative narrative.
Lies! No one enjoyed FF XIII. No one!
Oh, neat. Thanks for the update, even if it was just a little thing like that!
I am with you.

I think this entire discussion about negativity is a bit absurd.
Given the game we are talking about, it's development history and that it changes its gameplay structure, some cynicism and "negativity" is warranted.
I don't personally understand how, someone who loves say the Judgment Demo, can be told the game changes structurally mid way through the game and not pause and ponder whether or not that's actually going to end up being a good thing.
In most games, your worry tends to be whether or not you like the gameplay loop or not and if the game can maintain that loop with good quality across the campaign.
With FFXV, it throws another wrench into the mix. It's rare for me personally to find a game whose demo I enjoyed so much and yet be concerned that the structural change will throw out much of what I enjoyed aside from the combat itself.

But are you ready to love me?

at least now SE have the technology and the know how on open-world game for XVI. They'll analyse what went good and what went wrong and will make a even better game next time...ha yeah and really consider focusing on good storytelling.
this place went from looking ok to a mess ever since vernedus fucked half of yall up mentally
this is a new FF release thread alright
in actuality there was no way this can be avoided, the entire history of this project, kagari probably doing blood sarcifices to Tabata hoping that he will save the franchise
this was always the outcome, can't wait for that review thread lol

It'll be fine, the reviews will all be positive, everyone will be super excited, I BALEE.

I am hopeful for this. But I'm worried they get bogged down with 7R somehow...
They have to give us Chrono Break first. You can do it Square!

Oh damn, it's out in SoCal now? Sounds like I might be able to pick up a copy tomorrow then, but I'm still holding out for that review code to arrive... not to mention I still have my Deluxe Edition coming from Amazon! Gah!
I echo your "enjoyed FF XIII and thought FF XII was balls" sentiment. People who act like FF XIII genuinely has zero redeeming qualities or is a "garbage" game are funny.
As someone who liked FF XIII so much, though, I'm overjoyed at the prospect of the game starting out open world and then funneling you toward the conclusion as you progress through the story. Not everything needs to be or have an open world, ugh. I'm glad Square seems to have resisted the urge to go full WRPG with this game, and I think FF XV will be far, far better for it.

Would you be so kind to pm me the store name/location? Would love to play it before work starts after thanksgiving lol.
Sold out? Even the XB1 version? Amazon must not have taken in many copies.

Why does an American version have the Day One in Spanish as well?
Because lots of people in America speak Spanish brah.
Perhaps because it's the second most commonly spoken language in the country? There are 45 million people who speak Spanish as a first or second language here in the United States.
Tales of Zestiria and Type-0 both got 72.
Tales of Xillia and WoFF got 78 and FFXIII-2 got 79.
You seriously think FFXV will get 70? Reviewers are much more friendly towards JRPGs than you think.

I'm at the impression where they try to score it as low as possible.
Like Dragon Quest Builders: It's an 84 in Metacritic but it's my current GOTY (so it's probably above 88 for me IMO).
