Hmm.. what?
LR's ending.lol
Noctis has gone through so many changes since his original trailer debut.
Hmm.. no that's not the world of versus for sure
because the mythos, crystals and all that shit disappears in the new planet(at least they said it in the CG ending cutscene of LR), something that is still present in the world of FF XV

I think the surprise will be a worldwide release date.

That's odd. I remember reading interviews from 2008 that claim Noctis was just shy, not unsociable.
I know I was just kidding.
I was just referring to how horrible the ending was and how they said "it could be anything"...

Don't worry, that wasn't entirely accurateKeyword being entirely.
But now I think
Lighining creates a new world of some sort in the end of the game
Here's a translation of everything he said
- Final Fantasy XV's director has been changed, now the game is in Tabata's hands. Nomura will work only on KHIII
- The trailer's not extended, but the scenes showed confirm it's about the upcoming demo
- Tabata (I suppose): "There are great expectations for this game, and we're not forgetting this saga's roots while creating new elements (see the final part of the trailer)"
- The combat system starts as "action" a-la-KH, lots of things changed since then but the action nature is still there. Not a classic JRPG, for sure
- Episode Ducsae is confirmed for March 2015, included in Type 0 HD
- Ducsae is a region in FFXV's world
- The demo will be about a period not too far from beginning of the game, but no spoilers, don't worry, Tabata reassures. It's all to let the player comprehend the new combat system
- The demo's length is far bigger than normal, with 3-4 hours and possibily of playing exploartion and dungeon phases
- No classic Final Boss in the demo, but the final impression will be incredible for FF fans
- There will be many exploration phases, the player can freely drive the car or let the CPU drive it through Auto Drive, so he can see see secret zones
- Tabata: "The combat system's modifications have been applied correctly, and the development team feels the game much more like a "Final Fantasy" since it became a main title
- ...but this doesn't mean the end of the action nature! The combat system's basis will stay that, but it won't be confusionary. We want the player to control fully what happens
- There will be many new elements, and most I can't talk about. But I can tell you Noctis can dodge enemies by keeping pressing the "Block" button; there will be also Auto-Attack and the Warp button
- Every character/ally will fight with his/her own style; by knowing how Noctis can perform different combos with them the player will be encouraged to search for them on the combat field in order to make a turning point in the battle. In specific moments, only a specific ally can be used against specific enemies, and the command will be visible only near the enemies. This is what makes our work on FFXV magic. We're very satisfied"
- Tabata praises next gen's power, by underlining the beauty of the real-time day/night cycle
- Tabata: "Open world? Yes, FFXV will have a massive world to explore, all thanks to next gen consoles
- The demo is 70-80% complete. March's version will be better.
- We've worked hard on how each character is characterised. Everyone's going to have his own character (laughs...). You'll love them all.
- Prompto is the typical exuberant boy full of vitality, while Noctis the one who "knows", he's not the once-reserved-lonely boy anymore
- Aesthetically, Ignis has been changed too
- SE would like to expand the FFXV's universe on PSVita and mobile phones, i.e. it would be great to connect outside of the TV screen
- The story retrace the Fabula Nova Crystallis' myth from FFXIII and Type 0, in a different world. The plot is simple: the boys have to get back a crystal stolen by an enemy country
- During the interview, some names were mentioned, like King Aegis, Emperor Aldercapt, Luna, the city of Altissia...any news on the matter? Tabata: "No comment".
- Not even Luna? Tabata's answer: "The others are no comment, while Luna is...tabula rasa" (laughs...), then "I'd love telling you more, but right now I can't, still she'll be a key character liek Notcis!"
- New details on plot and characters in future events, Jump Festa 2015 especially.

How the hell was FF XIII's plot convoluted, I get that some people might have gotten distraught by the terminology but the actual plot is one of the most straightforward and simple in the entire series. It can be summed up in 2 or 3 sentences.
I hope FF XV delivers a story with a ton of depth, it can still have it while being "simple" but I am not particularly intrigued by using the word "simple" to describe it.

This game is sounding better and better the more they get to talk about it. Please deliver!

This has been known since at least 2011.
Nomura emphasized how the story in the game was very straightforward.

This just gets worse the more I read
Thanks dude
. No wonder Nomura left, god damn. It really seems like Luna is Stella lol. Surprise is a summon no doubt.Thanks for this.
The gameplay is definitely sounding less KH-ish, but I don't think the changes are a bad thing.

Honestly, that was the first thing that came to mind for me.
Yeah I think so as it comes with Type-0 HD which comes out on both PS4 and Xbone. Though you're not getting the demo on disc but thorugh a download voucher that comes with Type-0.

I wonder what kind of open world gameplay XV will have.
Something like Xenoblade Chronicles?

But the auto stuff is real. Not a fan of that.

The tabula rasa remark makes it sound like Stella is gone

It's the sense of control, holding it down feels like character doing everything for you.

Yes, because that's the game they've advertised for 8 years.
I personally have been looking forward to a Final Fantasy where I can control a player's attacks rather than sit there and watch him/her attack.

Possible sidequests and secret summon fights that sounds hype no lie
Depending on how battle system will play like it may not be bad but holding down a buttun is not as satysfiying as seeing your character attacking while you're pressing the button like in every action game. But auto-dogde sound bad like really bad because good dogining system is based on timing. It feels like it's double downed for masses just like auto-batle in XIII was.
Yeah I agree. Sense of control is a huge part of action games.
You can still have a sense of control.
If the game forces you to constantly switch up your commands you essentially end up with a very responsive system.
You won't be able to attack endlessly in the game and movement will likely play a large element.
Yeah, the story of XIII was quite good and had great potential in my opinion but the game had a pretty bad narrative.
About XV, having realms fighting over crystals-control is a good starting point for me.

On the paper, yes. But I play Diablo III. Holding down the button (for instance, channelling spell) is usually a death wish and not recommended in high difficulty.

Luckily, it sounds like we're going to get a nice, lengthy demo to really cut our teeth on how the game works.
I'm can't bring myself to be concerned over what's been said/rumored.
I like just about all of it.

I like just about all of it.
Imagine playing games like Devil May Cry, KH3 or even Tales where attacking is just holding a button. It's not fun.
Doubt its auto dodging.That would break the game.
I understand.As a souls player,I love a good sense of control myself.
but they just stated that they want to give the player full control.So I'd wait for more exact info.

So how you work around that? ( I've haven't played D3)
Can't agree, this TGS in regards to FFXV ain't shit since we still don't have any kind of release date.
