Definitely good news.
How was the plot and cast in Type-0? Comparable to PS1 FF's or more in line with the XIII saga?

let me play devil's advocate for a moment let's say the game is actually good, do you think that FFXV not being turn based will make the game frowned upon? I have a feeling people will regardless bash the game even if its good, because it deviated to much from what people consider final fantasy to be.
I think tabata, when he says 'mature' is actually talking about M rated stuff like blood and war type shit where tons of kids and shit die. Yeah you could have some dark aspects in previous final fantasies, but let's be real, FF10 for example was still rated T, and Sin's rampages weren't exactly shown so much as implied most of the time, people still disappeared in little sparkly lights.
Type 0 seems to be more about an actual battlefield with magic. It was the same feeling i got from Versus when he broke that dude's neck with his legs or shoved the sword through that guy so hard blood and gore came out the back.
That stuff is probably not still in the game because they are gonna go mainstream with 15, but that's the feeling i got, like it could really be the first "M rated" final fantasy.

When I think of "mature" I mean less cheesy melodrama (see FFXIII) and more of a grounded tone in the dialogues/presentation that FFXII was the last main-line entry to have, IMO (didn't play FFXIV, though).
In retrospect FFXII is exactly what I would want nowadays out of a FF (minus topless pretty boys like Vaan and the second half of the story^^). FFXV has that mature feeling in nearly every aspect of its design and I hope FFXVI will be like that or even more Matsuno-esque, too.

Thay's exactly what I was thinking when they sais the type-O is a more mature FF.
FFXIII was turn based and that didn't help it in the eyes of fans. FFXII received much praise for it's battle system at release despite heavily deviating from the norm. I think people will be happy with a good game regardless of turn based or not. I mean we have known it wasn't turn based since the reveal and that hasn't stopped the hype one bit.
We still don't really know how it's gonna work either. There seem to be indications, based on video, that your party members jump in at times with support attacks or something, so it may not be 100% action RPG button masher.

with the help of some steroids i can work on transforming my party from this
to this
maybe add a hair salon too and let you give the boys buzz cuts.
Brooooo, sick idea. Now I can #swag ingame and irl for maximum gains, gimmie a fedora option Square, legit!

true bro, but remember one key aspect is that Versus was originally a spin-off that got forced into being a mainline FF. While it retained stuff from other FF games such as the chocobos, world map, towns (hopefully they're still in) but at the same time i believe nomura said would deviate completely from FF hence the battle system. Personally i don't mind it being Action Rpg but i just wanted to know what people felt on the matter =]

I think the alternative view here is that people might be tired of turn-based and welcome some innovation to the Final Fantasy series.
Note: I love turn-based, but would also love to see something different just to see what SE can do.

i love turn based too and persona does it good imo, but you're probably one of the few who actually welcomes the idea. i think this battle system will appeal to a new audience hopefully and further expand the brand. i'm thinking outside the box a bit but this generation of gamers have short attention spans and want a game thats more "hands on"
He don't skip leg day, confirmed?

What do you guys think will happen first? Will Naughty Dog launch their 5th (FIFTH!) triple A game for a Playstation home console before Square releases FFXV or will they launch it before Uncharted 4? I'm willing to be the former is more likely.
Uncharted 1 was the first ND game released after Square's FFVersus XIII announcement. What do you think?

How the hell did you do that
I'm 100% sure that Uncharted 4 will release first.
Of all the things to pick, why Uncharted? I mean you could have gone for broke and said "the entire franchise of more than five dozen Assassin's Creed games were released"
Not my pictures unfortunately

uncharted vs tomb raider next fall and Halo 5 right?.. expect FFXV around march 2016
Uncharted will come out first. XV I think will be late 2015 in Japan, early 2016 everywhere else. That's just wishful thinking though.
Little off topic but to be honest I'm secretly hoping the game takes some inspiration from stuff like GTA for the overwold. FF always had big overworlds with vehicles. A massive overworld where you are driving a vehicle ala GTA is actually closer to standard FF than we have seen in many years.

Shoulda renamed the demo: "FFXV: LEG DAY", prepare for the fifteenth coming.
That game's postmortem is going to be a goooood read.

Stella original design is now eternally embedded in our memory thanks to Kagari's avatar. It won't be forgotten, ever.But that would mean having to let go of Stella's original design.

I honestly don't doubt it will be rad, regardless of the pounding S-E's (and FF's) reputation has gotten since last gen.
You've gotta figure everyone at S-E, from top to bottom, knows this project is a big deal. They need it to be an event. They need it to reinvigorate the brand on a worldwide scale.
I'm not much of a fan of MMORPGs, but the care and quality put into rebooting FFXIV makes me confident in whatever we end up with FFXV.
It's gotta drive guys like Nomura and Tabata nuts not being able to show off this labor of love in a more in-depth fashion.
Some people got Lightning eternally embedded though.
same here. at this point literally my only requirement for me to not write off the game is for it to be more enjoyable than ff13
Never forget.

Far as we know from what they revealed from E3 last year:
All the way up to early/mid2011 a PS3 only game
Early/Mid 2011-Mid 2012 developed as a cross-gen game. Perhaps PS3/PS4 or perhaps PS3/360/XB1/PS4 etc... (who really knows?)
Mid 2012 onwards. Developed as a next-gen only title. (they said it has been developed as that for roughly a year iirc at E3 2013)
Then you gotta think maybe it was intended to be a next-gen only title but still retain a lot of the previous gens version assets, but when compared to other next-gen only games it wouldn't hold up. So there's a chance they scrapped even more stuff since E3 2013.
Crazy development history. Would love to hear it all.
Nomura, being as secretive as he is, is unlikely to pen a postmortem of any kind, I think.

?
1. Buy Type-0, get FF15 demo
2. Don't buy Type-0, buy demo separately
Honestly, it's the same as the old days when the MGS2 demo came with Zone of the Enders, or FF12 with Dragon Quest VIII. But now, they ALSO have the option of selling you the demo (presumably at a cheaper price) if you aren't interested in the game it's attached to

We still haven't gotten a full look at Stella since the 2011 trailer. We've only partially saw her face in last year's e3. I think we should wait to judge her design until we actually see her in game.
