i hope they can bring the gameplay graphics closer the cg cut scenes.. its rather staggering in contrast.


I need to see more.

I must add that I am thrilled the FNC mythos are staying because I want to see Nomura's interpretation.

I'm very happy too because of that. But without Type-0 it just feels incomplete. Where's my HD conversion?:(
 
I was hoping to make it through the gen with just Wii U and PC but if this is PS4 exclusive then Sony has me locked up too.

Well played... maybe.

Let me tell you how good this trailer was.
Before this, I could never get into FF. Dunno why, but I couldn't; hell my first FF game was Choccobo Racing.

I now want to play and beat every single numbered entry now.
Perhaps i'm being overdramatic, but DAMN, that was a good trailer.

(Quick Q, what's the best version of each installment?)

I saw the Versus XIII logo, went "Whaaaat?!" Then it changed to "Final Fantasy XV" and I nearly fell out of my chair. Amazing. I called this months ago (as did many others), and I think it makes the most sense for Square Enix. It's a bit sloppy, and they made a bunch of mistakes this gen, but I think this is a good way to salvage things.

Their decision to rename Agito XIII was one of the first signs they were scrapping the Fabula Nova Crystallis saga. FFXIII and its sequels seem to have replaced that. By "upgrading" Versus XIII to FFXV, they have an excuse to devote more resources to it and they can get away from the bad associations that some fans have with FFXIII.

I'm all for this. I hope the game's great. This may force my hand on getting a PS4 far earlier than I usually get new consoles depending on when it comes out.

I believed in you, Square. I still do!

They haven't scarped the FNC, FF Type 0 is still very much apart of it, and given it says Fabula Nova Crystallis in the XV trailer it's very likely that XV is as well.
 
I'm glad it's finally announced. I'm a little torn, I kinda hoped FFXV would be something new and never before seen but this comes pretty close. Finish it up and release the damn thing, Square!

They couldn't even commit to 2014. :lol

Expecting it Q4 2015 Japan and Q1 2016 in the West.

Also, will SE or Sony upload a good quality trailer already?

It looked so good graphic wise!!! So many things happening at the same time on the screen. Especially the part with the summon(Leviathan?), wow. It seems you can teleport around a lot. The rumors were true then. It seems the part Sony was developing it with SE was false though since they only said XIV was exclusive.

Called this at least a year ago. Finally proof that the XIII moniker was poison to the FF brand name. Got tired of people like Shinta and company defending it needlessly.

That is honestly what I am worried about. I have absolutely no trust in SE at the moment to do a simple task like release a game in a reasonable amount of time. SE will have to do a whole shit-load more than showing a good trailer to win back my trust.

Yep, that looked like a Square Enix game. Take that for what it is.


Sooooo who seriously didn't think this was gonna be renamed? Seriously?
 
Okay watched the trailer and it looks great:


1. Looks like they incorporated some Uncharted into the gameplay. Great job. Would've hated it if it was the same bland gameplay from the old trailers.

2. Love the 'fleeing prince and posse' setting

3. Is it just me or those scenes with the father coaxing the little prince to eat, some dude giving advice to 'prince', already has more emotional weight than anything in XIII?


Sucks that Sony lost exclusivity on this one. Coupled with the no-DRM announcement, it could have been killer. Oh well. Game looks promising.
 
Looks like Final Fantasy Uncharted. Lots of pretty explosions and QTE and not much in the way of substance. Very disappointing to see the Final Fantasy go down that road.

And Fabula Nova Crystalis continues to reach its sticky tentacles into the next generation.

SE's headline title for this generation is a title they announced seven years ago. Good job.

You sure? I could've sworn he mentioned FF15 for PS3 too, it was right after KH 3 trailer ended.

Oh well, not coming out for awhile anyway.
