Any chance of this being cross-gen?

Full real-time action. It's Kingdom Hearts + Zone of the Enders + Uncharted.
I know I said it back when Type-0 got renamed, but it's not like I have any amazing insider industry connections, I was just being flippant.

Soooo if your fan of exclusives....... then the PS4 better outsell the XB1. Thats the way it sounds to me.
It's real time action. Also I'm in the same boat. Actually the last FF game that I have ever liked (albeit I got into the series late) was FFIX but ever since Versus XIII was announced I was always hyped for it. I never felt the same for FFXIII.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Adding to what he said: if you look at Verendus' quote, he says "There's a chance FF15, in particular, may be an exclusive release. Kind of."
And this rumor popped out during April: According to our source close to Square Enix, we are able to confirm the arrival of Final Fantasy Versus XIII on PS3 ... and PS4."
This can fit though. I mean it's still an exclusive to Sony consoles but it's not PS4 (nor PS3) exclusive for that matter. Hence the "kind of" exclusive.
If it was coming to PS3 Sony would have said so at their conference,
well if PS4 versions stays that way we all win. PS3 gamers that arent willing to buy another console for this win too
but saldy get lessor version lolI do too. It's odd to want to deprive others of an experience, but there aren't any PS4 exclusives that really interest me as of yet. I need something to really solidify the justification for my purchase decision.
EDIT: I'd rather FFXV be next-gen exclusive than Sony exclusive. Let's not let the dying generation hold back the next.
Just like if it was exclusive, Sony would have shouted it from the rooftops I would think.

I'm sure that's exactly what they plan to talk about at tomorrow's "Future of Final Fantasy" press event.

Hmm, what has he leaked before? That quote above seems to indicate that he thought Guerilla were unveiling a new IP instead of Killzone - which hasn't come to pass (yet).

yo i don't even like nomura or his games but holy shit did this game look nuts. all that shifting of gravitational perspectives and fucking fast paced fluid combat. i can even overlook the backstreet boys being the protagonists.
looked fucking fun and was a visual spectacle.

Why would MS announcing their console change things?

The future is action RPGs, period. Witcher, Dark Souls, Mass Effect, Skyrim, Dragon's Dogma, Dragon Age.
Now SQEX can finally try their hand at a huge action RPG like everyone else has.
Purists expecting turn based games should get Bravely Default.
Not even.

Probably a return to more "traditional" Fantasy after the success of Game of Thrones.

Oh damn I will watch that for sure! Can you gimme a quick time; I'm sorry it's been a really hectic day! Tomorrow is going to be just as crazy/awesome!
Also, seeing them finally announce Versus XIII as FF XV and Kingdom Hearts 3, I expect a full FF VII PS4 remake to be shown off at TGS, followed by a Chrono Break trailer. (Not serious, just a joke.)
Hahaha I wish. I'll be happy with Kingdom Hearts 1 gameplay with a more serious atmosphere and story. Speaking of, what ever happened to Zone of the Enders 3? I couldn't care less if they go through with their new theme or whatever was revealed way back when, I just want more ZoE gameplay.

So I wonder if the game takes place primarily or partially in this European city, as Versus featured a modern Tokyo-esque metropolis in its media. Did they scrap it in favor of a new direction for XV?
Not knowing this pretty much tells you how authoritative he is.
The big reveal this year is actually KH3.
Hey, you'll get no lip from me. WRPG's are my favorite genre, and I love em'. Always have, always will.
Maybe this be the great bridge over the gap I need between East and West to finally appreciate the other side of the genre. The trailer definitely has done nothing but good!
Well, I'm not sure what Versus is ANYMORE, but at least earlier Nomura said he wanted to incorporate Uncharted like cinematic situations but still keep the open world-ish nature of a traditional FF. Could be that we simply saw that in action while there's still less cinematic more open exploration of big areas as well.
Though, with the way the game is now, I'm not quite sure what is going on with the game, feature-wise. Is it just an Uncharted-ified Versus to make the game like the first reveal trailer back in 2006 or is it still that massive JRPG that they were making for PS3.
I don't think so. The trailer showed the characters with HP-levels in the thousands and Nomura said that the city in the old trailers is not the only big one, so it just looks like we saw one of the other big ones that we'll see during the game.So I wonder if the game takes place primarily or partially in this European city, as Versus featured a modern Tokyo-esque metropolis in its media. Did they scrap it in favor of a new direction for XV?

They showed the European setting (like italy) since they showed versus. I think its just different location.

I would be okay with this. Entirely 100% okay with it.
The Square panel is at the same time as Nintendo Direct. It's a private event, but a lot of journos are covering it, and I believe Kagari will be there. We probably won't get to watch it, but I'm sure they'll release the trailer then.
Well, that's what it is. Noctis can Zero Shift, he uses the power a bunch in this trailer alone. No idea what happened to ZoE3 though. Kojima's a jerk.

Yeah I just showed the trailer to a friend and she said "huh, so its more of an action game?" which is something I literally haven't thought about - a mainline FF now being action RPG.
I didn't read too much into it about Action RPG being "the future" of FF, because it started as a spinoff and was changed to mainline - but I can see how some people might get that impression.

FF sells like a third or more of it's worldwide sales in the Japanese market. I don't think they'd DRM the game, and if they did people could get the Japanese version - although I guess they could as a publisher region lock the specific game.

There's multiple cities/locations. They even mention a number of them in this trailer (Niflheim, Tenebrae, etc.). It would be insane if for some reason they just got rid of the modern looking city, which still exists in the CGI they showed.

Sony's conference hit all the right notes. We finally got to see Versus and then there was Kingdom Hearts 3, the only thing missing was The Last Guardian
I want him in my party. (ღ ˘ ⌣ ˘ ღ
And now I've joined the community of
To my knowledge it existed for a while as a cross-gen game, but eventually the PS3 version got canned when they decided to give the game even more development time (and thus the relevance of being cross-gen faded).

Yeah, didn't Nomura say a long time ago that it's based off the real world and you travel all around the world? And one of the regions is based off of Italy and others will be based off of other regions? There would be a world map with day/night cycles and you could drive around and visit the gas stations even.
Hopefully all that is still in, it's why I got so excited. That said, the action parts are impressive. And boy, was there a lot of action. Nomura seems like he accomplished his goal to make this a real-time Advent Children. Hopefully along with all the action, all the good RPG elements are still intact, unlike XIII...
