Final Fantasy XV launches September 30th, demo today w/ Carbuncle unlock, has combat

man why is this thread not a spoiler. I wanted to know this information by watching the actual event! So many people worked so hard to set it all up and now Gaf just ruined the event.

Yeah they've been talking about this for so long I imagine they must be pretty bummed. I hope they've got a nice trailer to still make this something worth watching.

They might even pull out something extra just to make up for it.

Serious question: Why would you even watch it if you only wanted the release date?

It's called Final Fantasy XV Uncovered, so there probably won't even be other Final Fantasy games there.
Was a small chance they just showed it right at the start so I could turn it off right away.

That's about it really.

I know it's called "Final Fantasy Uncovered", but is there a chance there will be other SE games mentioned or announced, to take advantage of the event?
Well, Ben Moore from Easy Allies said he has a source for a FFVIIr appearance, but I wouldn't count on it.

Please Be Excited? This pretty much confirms that they don't have anything else to announce.

Maybe they're real people that realize their fans comprise of some of the most deluded cynics in the gaming industry and they're trying to actually have fun. Weird concept.

I'm on mobile, can someone tell me what time the demo would be on PSN? Or am I misunderstanding?

This is a goddamn video game discussion board. The whole point of GAF is that it's breaking news like this. I don't even wanna know how someone can get so sensitive to spoilers that a marketing event is "ruined" for you.

Seems like just having a GAF tab open would work better than begrudgingly watching a game event, but to each their own.
I can spare a whole two minutes watching a press event before I go back to doing what I was doing. It's not really a big deal in terms of time efficiency.

Explain how gaf ruined anything when this was floating around the internet for almost 8 hours before the first thread hit here.
 
Didn't Ono do something like that for the SFV reveal?

Yes. The first full on gameplay reveal for SFV was scheduled for Capcom Cup the following week. however, since the announcement trailer leaked, they brought the gameplay trailer originally intended to be released at Capcom Cup 1 week early to PSX. At Capcom Cup, they played the first live match of SFV.

I would disagree with the leaked information being a spoiler. If anything, I'd say it's a spoiler for tonight's event, not the game. Also, GameSpot is really to blame for the leak, but I'm happy they did so that we could be informed of the release date early.

So the big hour/2 hour long event thing with the big fanfare and all that jazz was literally just to say "Yo, here is the release date and there is a new demo. Peace"?

Like, really? They need an event to just give that information and now that that is out there the event is a waste and pointless and everyone wasted their time? Some of you really think that?

I agree. Theres probably going to be more stuff shown. I don't knoe hpw knowing a release date ruins anything.

The reason I asked to begin with is because you said you were spared having to watch through the whole thing.

Anyway, glad you got to see the release date hassle free. September 30 will be here in no time.

This is information about a release date, a demo reveal and that the newest final fantasy has carbuncle and combat in it.

If any of these things are genuinely spoilers for you I'm sorry.
But if you were further spoiled by reading the thread contents or watching the videos it's your own fault.
The only way to have a completely pure experience is to go on a social media blackout, getting noisy about spoilers of a public announcement is not going to be productive.

Well who cares, i wasn't gonna watch the event anyway, it's gonna be late night here in Italy, at least now i already know the main news, and if there is really something more then i'll find out tomorrow morning.
Can't wait to play the demo, i hadn't the opportunity to try the first one so it'll be my first time with this awesome game, thankfully there will be plenty of games to play waiting for September 30th, starting from Quantum Break next week

When I got home my flatmate told me that he had heard there was some sort of explosion at a chemical plant nearby. Why do assholes have to spoil the six o'clock news like that?

I rather hope they announce some special editions though perhaps it's too soon? I wonder of they might include the Amano artwork in some fashion. Like a banner or something.
 
I have a ticket to the event, the only reason I'm not going is because of the 2.5 hours of traffic from where I live to LA.

I am more hyped seeing additional footage. Release date has been leaked for a week now. Knowing about a demo doesn't ruin anything for me. I'm really looking forward to watching the event.
