Final Fantasy XV gameplay @ PAX West

Since everyone here's talking about Kingsglaive already, I'll just ask this.

What order should I watch all the FFXV stuff? Should I watch the anime first then Kingsglaive or the other way around?

I watched Kingsglaive before watching any of the Brotherhood episodes but now that I've seen both I don't think there's really an intended order for them, just go with whichever order you want.

(Brotherhood is much better written than Kingsglaive though)
 
Wait, that's the Stella I keep hearing about?

She looks badass :(

She will always be with us...as Kagari's avatar.
 
On the subject of foxiness, OG Stella is definitely foxier than latter-day Stella or Luna. But still not in the same league as Crowe.

Gotta disagree here.

Luna is the GOAT. Crowe and Stella wish they looked this good.

OG Stella had a nice edge and swagger to her though, no question.
 
Haven't watched Kingsglaive yet but it's basically supposed to be the intro to FFXV. So of course the characters are going to be imperfect there, and will have proper arcs and development in the game. Steiner was a massive tool at the beginning of FFIX too.

Luna is the GOAT.

I'm not saying she isn't well designed. I'm saying she's not exactly a FOX.

You can be pretty w/out being a fox.

Here, in my mind, is the archetypal modern fox:

All this, w/ the acknowledgment of course, that a character ends up being much more than just his or her visual design.
 
IIRC, Luna's model is literally Stella's XV model that they gave a new haircut.

Her hair and eye colouring are completely different and she also doesn't have Stella's chin mole, but otherwise I suppose that's the case.

XV Stella barely existed though.

Ah, that's where we disagree. That woman's not my type.

Totally fair. I suppose not even Audrey can be everyone's type. But again, I'm not just talking raw attractiveness/physical appeal. I'm talking a certain attitude/bearing that, in conjunction w/ physical appeal, might inspire a Jimi Hendrix guitar-humping lick.

And, whatever one's feelings about Luna's appeal, I don't think it's in that particular category.
 
Libiritus is awful,awful,awful.



What a travesty..A complete waste of an awesome design.

Who thought fat dude bro libiritus was better than her ?

Libertus was better than her, she did nothing and made me feel nothing.(none of the cast did though, in her case it was even less) At least I got a fat grumpy dude who in the end redeemed himself.

edit: tfw come back in the middle of another versus posting spree, ayy lmao

I ended up having a grudging affection for Libertus. Like, yeah, he was a big dumb idiot. And no, his decision making cannot really be defended.

But there was something kind of lovable about him. Like a big stupid sasquatch or something. It might mess up your house/eat your cat, but you kind of want to have it around anyway.
 
No, they have the same eye and hair coloring.

Kingsglaive's Luna redesign was not done by anyone related to the game FF15, so they changed her look.

Nah, Stella's eyes have a purplish hue, Luna's are straight blue, at least now.


I might be wrong about the hair colour though, granted, could just be the lighting.

That's exactly what I meant :D

So, Final Fantasy XV, hope it's good.

I like the neo screens and the bit of updated stuff we saw for the OG ps4, so at least as some of the doubts are floating away, then again I have really low expectations.

This is the right attitude to enter with I think (although my hype level remains high).

That way, when Noctis dies in the first act and is replaced by Libertus for the rest of the game it will be easier to roll with.
 
You've never heard of someone described as foxy? I think my age is starting to show through now. :(

Not at all, just my ignorance. Not a native speaker, so it's to be expected that I have no idea about a lot of stuff. Still trying to learn english.

Ha ha, sorry -- it just means physically attractive (i.e., foxy lady https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PVjcIO4MT4)

Also, I believe it carries connotations of coolness and energy and maybe a certain wry self-awareness. So, even though Luna is very pretty, she's not half the fox that Crowe is.

Thanks for the explanation!

I like it a lot, and most definitely see what you mean with the comparison to Luna.

Crowe is foxy~

Best girl <3
 
How could it possibly be good if they got rid of a character we learned almost nothing about and replaced her with a near-lookalike who probably plays a largely similar role in the story.

RIP stella mai firstu waifu

If you think the story roles are similar you haven't been paying close enough attention. I know it's fun to mock, but what in the world is honestly so wrong about liking what we saw from Versus more than what we see in Luna in XV? Particularly after Kingsglaive.

Sure thing - for what it's worth, your message board English is very good (which is likely why some expressed surprise that you didn't know a fairly common English slang usage).

I'll buy a Pro if that happens and give it to my cousin after I finish XV.
since I have to wait a lot longer than you guys for the version I want to play
 
So I got to play the demo at PAX, but I got cut off after beating the "boss." I guess I should watch some footage.

I will say though, that I was "meh" on the game for a while, but the demo got me pretty hype.
 
I find the Luna comparison with Kingsglaive unfair, to be honest. I wouldn't consider it canon and it's pretty much made by a completely different team.
 
I'm kind of confused, are they removing one of the guy parry members and adding a female one in? I work next door to a Gamestop and two of my friends there have come over to talk to me about it but I hadn't heard anything like that yet.

No, the 4 main party members are just the bro's they aren't removing anyone.

Yeah, they apparently replaced the blonde dude with this female character:

Haven't gotten an official statement yet, but probably at TGS next week.
