FFXV copies out in the wild (street date broken in Peru, possibly elsewhere)

FFXV back to being a magical journey?

I thought Conan killed the dream on the other thread the other day.

Why would a segment titled "Clueless Gamer" kill anything tho 🤔

Edit: If only I could find the game to buy early like UC4. I'd have this all cleared up. :p

I'm giving benefit of the doubt until a point where I see it the answer to that question elsewhere due to the game being out in Peru. As in, Verendus has until then to prove he didn't make a giant two-post impressions wall of text without having played the game, and isn't feeding me the answer from googling for spoilers on the net.

That's fair.

Because sometimes the truth isn't good enough.. sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

Why would Clueless Gamer segment put people up in arms in a 40+ page thread about the misrepresentation of a game?

It was a very entertaining thread tho. Just like this one. Its fun to see Schreier pointing fingers and rallying people towards someones opinion. Whether its true or not. Its just fishy.

I remember your posts on U4 early impressions. Was good to get solid information. :D

I've seen plenty of people saying 'fuck Conan' over the last few days outside of GAF. Sad.

i don't understand why someone would write 2 Pages of Impressions just on assumptions. Looks like a big waste of time for me. Also he said he will do an "Spoiler" version soon, where he will go more into detail, so there is that.

Its comedy, and its his opinion haha. Plus i believe it would be weird to try to get into a FF game where it looks like a boy band in a bro trip is heading to the mountains to look for hair gel before they go look for a wedding dress.

It was great.

Not so great that people take it personally as this is damaging the image of the game. All this talk is probably generating a lot of buzz around it already.

Meanwhile my doubt goes to a gaffer's friend who claimed somewhere in Singapore broke the street date.

People have been flowing into gameshops for Pokemon SM. Someone would have reported on local forums if FFXV is spotted in the shops.

I don't bother with those type of threads and Conan for that matter opinion holds no weight to me.. I think the sentiment is that the faithful fans that want this game to be decent are always having an uphill battle with people latching on to every single thing to discredit the game. At times i think some feel that others want this game to fail miserably which is why you see the pushback.
 
What happened to the NeoGAF member who had the game on Xbox One and was going to download the patch before he can play it.

SE Got to him. Just like they did to Verendus... come to think of it, have we ever seen anyone who claimed to have the game ever since? Are they being picked off by SE ninjas one by one without us even noticing?
 
Favourite game since Metal Gear Solid 3.
Second favourite Finale Fantasy of all time.
Game of the year.
Game of the generation.

Tabata era. Bahamut represent. Balee dat.

At risk of raining on everyone's parade: Every single thing in Verendus's big posts could've been gleaned from watching the footage and reading the previews, and there are a couple of incorrect/dubious things in there that make me think he's full of it. Not saying FFXV won't be a great game, but this is fishy.

I think the concern here is that he might be waiting until Peruvians reach the final stages of the critical path before penning spoiler impressions based upon their own.


This is the best.

AFAIK, there is only one GAF member that has the game on Xbox One, but he hasn't posted since yesterday.

Well that could be positive. I just want to know if it is any good, not a lot of interest in uncovering insiders. Whatever info they give should always be taken with a grain of salt and things do change in this industry so holding them over the fire for the things they get wrong is a waste of energy. Hindsight is always 20/20 so the "obvious" things aren't always obvious so people should get over themselves. For the crusade some people are on it is clear they are just envious of the attention they get.

I almost bought a pro the other day because I was getting hyped for this game. I have been ultra negative on the game since it was revealed as XV rather than a spin off, none of the demos have done anything for me (I haven't tried the new one) but I am a huge FF nerd and can't resist this hype. If the game truly turns out to be a stinker I will hold off for a steam release rather than double dipping like I did with the last stinker XIII.

I think anyone with some common sense will want the game to be good. Everyone benefits from a good game.

I dunno if the game will be good or not. Been mostly on media blackout. After not having an interest in it i played Duscae, it sold the game to me. I want the bro trip to be awesome, and i can't wait to play it.

Hot damn, excite level rising.


For anyone who has played this on Pro, is it worth getting it for this game? I just got a Samsung KS8000 and wondering if I should spend the money on a Pro.

Not that Schreirer is wrong, but a lot of details on XV have leaked or are known so it's not like it would be surprising if Verendus' review would match the previews.

In fact I think you can expect every review to match the previews to some extent.

The fact that people's emotions are easily played with in this thread is kinda sad.

OMG a friend just watched the end of the game, wtf, Peru! >_<

He didnt spoil anything, but watched in a stream which I didnt even ask the link :p

Time to shut down the internet >_<

"Incorrect/dubious"? Not really the same thing. Tell us what you think is incorrect or what is dubious, seems irresponsible to speculate like that without delivering the goods.
