World map, open world in both cases they have the word world so they must be the same thing.
That you may or may not have the answer to.
LR was open world... it just ran like complete shit because the engine couldn't handle it.

Well, he already failed to deliver with Comic Con. I doubt TGS will be any more lucrative for info.
Yep, would be fine with a FFXII ish.

I'm still blown away by how open and huge FFXII is.
Such an ambitious game for the PS2. It still stands up today visually when emulated.
The IZJS version is incredibly polished.
well...the horror of crystal tools...
I really didn't feel the "open worldness" that I would expect from LR. It felt like they just gave 4 big areas each with unique theme to play around...
I am not expecting something like xenoblade but I will be fine if XV had fields like XIV ARR.
I'd be more than ok with that.
I mean, Dragon Age Inquisition is doing it and we can consider it a good example of what FFXV can be.

Damn straight. I would have to but a Vita for a remaster of a game I played. Unless they announce a new Dissidia, TWEWY, make XII for consoles also.
FFXII is currently not compatible with mobile just because of sheer filesize.
This is why the mainline FF titles have dried up on iOS and Android after FFVI. VII is where they start to balloon in size.
There's an article on it here.
Same here..
It's literally one post above you where I explain how FFXII is currently impossible for mobile.

Isn't Vita included under the branch of mobile gaming?
I would die of a heart attack if it's only for Vita . . . wait how the hell did we get here. Damn you reverse FFXIII!
I'd be surprised if XII gets released on Vita. Based on the platform getting snubbed for Dragon Quest Heroes and a certain PSP Final Fantasy alongside Square Enix's recent announcements for the machine, they seem to think it's just another phone OS. That's a shame given X|X-2 HD sold well on the machine, but hey, Square Enix gonna Square Enix.
Sony won't even allow Vita to get sequels to its own games like Gravity Rush, it's getting no where near that mess.
You're a year late to that.

Million Arthur Vita port confirmed
You're a year late to that.
You know there will be some hella lucky kid who'll go into a store one day with 60$ in his/her hand to buy a game.
The lucky kid will then find a game called Final Fantasy XV and its amazing trailer will be shown on the screen at GameStop.
S/he knows nothing about it, didn't follow it for years nor is s/he an experienced gamer.
Enamored by the trailer and curious to buy something new for their PS4, they'll proceed to buy FFXV.
Kids like that will likely have a life changing experience with the game and they didn't have to suffer to get it.
The uninitiated and inexperienced have too much fun.
I guess almost of us have had experiences like that and that's what made us dedicated in the first place.

That kid used to all of us once.
Look how bitter some of us FF fans became.
You know I would love to go back to a classical FF game but modern visuals. You know the stuff that was in FF3,4,5, and 6.
Castles, Dragons, Black and White Mages, the age of Swords and Magic.
FF14 was sort of the kind of aesthetic I was looking for and it seems to be a strange trend of the series as of late. Every medieval style FF game for almost the past 8 years was an online game, while the single player titles were heavily futuristic and sci-fi oriented.
I wonder if Square will ever again revisit the style that FF11 and FF14 touch on with the Castles and classic FF enemies, and less emphasis on technology and sci-fi, For a SINGLE PLAYER experience.
I guess it's asking for too much, for the Final "Fantasy" series to return to more of it's "Fantasy" centric roots and not have it be delegated to an MMO experience for that aesthetic.

This was what FFIX was. And it was awesome beyond belief after FFVIII.
But here is the thing: how many times can you be an innovative series with the same tropes and settings done to death in previous FFs? 9 really succeeded on being the last FF with the 'classic' feel because it was designed that way. Using the same style would feel rather redundant.
Who wouldn't want to see those games.
A lot of the FFs are a mash up in my eyes. Even IX which has the tone you're describing has airships and so on.
XVI will be the opposite of XIII though. It's not futuristic so you might get what you want with that.
Is the material behind Agni's Philosophy being utilized in any way at SE ?
I remember you hinted something along these lines is happening.
The art direction was really striking there.

Huh? It's not "mobile," as mobile refers to the smartphone and tablet markets. It's a part of the "handheld" market.
Well you don't HAVE to buy it. But you will

Might as well just move on and forget XV
I don't remember ever doing this.

The Vita was perfectly capable of handling FFX HD Remaster which was a port of a PS2 game. Why couldn't it handle FFXII which is also a PS2 game?
Let's be realistic here.
Far too often people tend to come to the conclusion that innovative means making it more good or better. There are times when developers try to innovate and change so much and end with a less then stellar experience. Could FFXIII be considered innovative to the FF series since it goes in a vastly different direction then the previous games in the series? If that what innovative means, then I care not for innovation.
It's good to try new things but certainly not when core mechanics and series staples are compromised in exchange.
Trying new things and experimenting with new directions isn't a bad thing, but when it comes at the cost of making it unfamiliar or unrecognizable, there is a point when this path traveled goes too far.
Because I would assume FFXII would be even more demanding then FFX and the Vita already has FFX run a bit worse then the PS3 version.
Well info gets distorted overtime and I can't remember exactly when or whether this exactly happened.
But I think this is the string of conversations that makes you think you did...nevermind the inaccuracy.
so you didn't but others did I guess.
I see where you got your line of thinking from. But no, I wasn't referring to the Agni tech showcase (that's not what a concept demo looks like), that's just what those posters assumed. And XVI is in development, it's not just concept now. I didn't know that for a fact 9 months ago, I do now.

The Vita version naturally is going to run worse then the PS3 version which has considerably more powerful hardware. A performance difference with the PS3 port would also possibly mean it was the main development platform which means the Vita likely wasn't optimized as much.
There are quite a few games developed from the ground up on for the Vita that the PS2 would be incapable of running.
I'm sure it's just a matter of optimization, but I don't foresee it as impossible for the Vita to run a upscaled / HD port of FFXII with much difficulty, it wouldn't run nearly as well as a PS3 or PS4 port naturally, but it would run it nonetheless.
