"Please be excited"
The Gamescom award registration prerequisites state that the game has to release between this and the next Gamescom:
So FFXV launches between August 2015 and August 2016?

Spring 2016, i say.
Interesting. But is FF XV registered for the award?

Interesting, but I still don't see this coming out next year. It may be a prerequisite but if they need more time they'll take it, and I frankly find it hard to believe that it'll be out within a year as all they keep showing is the same damn location. If this presentation were something new showing considerable progress it'd be a different story.

I thought the gamescom award requirements was just that the release date has to be announced within the next year, not the game actually be releasing?
IIRC, you can't even be nominated for the same categories next year. Awards be damned.
There's not much right now saying that it won't show significant progress. The Duscae LPs aren't even being streamed.
Yep, same thing happened with The Witcher 3. Delays can still happen...

I guess we'll see, but by progress I mean like... the rest of the game. If they've just further polished the Duscae region or even the gameplay, that's still surely like a very small part of the overall game.
I'd be concerned over the quality of the game more than I'd be excited to play it sooner.
The state of the demo leaves much to be desired. I'm not confident that with the big setpieces we've seen glimpses of that anything before Christmas 2016 would produce something I'd walk away from satisfied with.

12pm, Noon.
Yeah I'd be concerned with the quality too, late 2016 is what I expect (and hope).
In many active time reports Tabata talks about cutting things in order to implement other things and I bet they have a long list of things that would be nice to have but that will be cut due to time restrictions.
It would be nice to have a list of all the things they have cut so far.
Of course XV's development is not only about cutting so I apologize in advance if I have chosen the wrong words.

How can people still be thinking this is years off?
They had the blueprint for this game for almost a decade now, and to think it will release 3 YEARS after its e3 re-reveal is crazy as is. They already cut out the time consuming features like character switching also. They claim to have been working on it full time since 2012 then thats about a 4 year dev cycle, and as I had stated a while ago you can see they still use existing assets and animations from the ps3 version from way back in 2011 or even earlier.

I think next year is plausible. Let's face it, Duscae didn't change much between 1.0 and 2.0. It was mainly just combat and camera changes that will affect the game in all scenarios. Let's just hope the cities and set pieces are almost done.

I've always had the feeling that this would be a May release, we'll see.

I can see it being fall. The game would get exclusive attention in months like September or even August.

Bingo. One more E3

Yeah, fall 2017 sounds reasonable.

Wanna bet otherwise or are you just being cheeky?
Every game ever made has cut features. It's part of normal development. Don't worry about it.

Had no doubt that FFXV is 2016.
There is a 2-hour stage show prior to ATR that was unspecified in terms of content. I'm guessing more Episode Duscae by a random streamer? I'm hoping for some raw, unedited gameplay footage of FFXV at a higher level in different place.

Yeah that's a good point, a very good point and to be honest I haven't thought about that.
Maybe I just want to see something new, I never liked the Duscae thing too much to be honest, I only enjoyed seeing the game playable.

Sign me down as the Spring/Summer guy.
Someone has to be that one.
of course delays don't count
Yeah I was thinking June for this. KH3 in October or something

I wouldn't be cheeky toward Kagari, she's too polite and respectable for my bullshit.
Well most of the time.

I want to believe Spring, but absolutely won't go further than end of 2016. There's not a chance in hell it releases in 2017. If it's not "ready" before then, I'd be amazed if they didn't just rush it out.
