-Wait mode was well received, specially by Japanese fans.

-The picture that was drawn of the chocobros in the Altissia trailer has a secret.

-Regalia changes form depending on the air height, but will remain in the form until landing

-Pre-order DLC contents previewed.

-Cidney Regalia skin edition is really popular with the US SE staff.

-DLC weapons include from previous titles,Gaelbolg, Blaze Edge, Masamune Katana - It's a greatsword type, Mage Masher.

-Lucis Suit DLC - Only for Noctis.

-Tabata feels that after watching Kingsglaive in full, that he wants fans to really watch the movie then the game as the experience will double. Said if you decide to watch the movie, he want you to experience the game as well as it will complete the whole story better.

-Despite that Tabata once said that each product was standalone and he was fine with people just experiencing one.

-Justice Monsters will be released at around Gamescom

-Justice Monsters has micro-transactions (of course) and a gacha system. Golden balls are required to spin, but you can get many just by playing.

-Tabata will not be present at Japan Expo.

-Brotherhood Ep 3 Gladio Episode planned for around the time of Japan Expo. July 7th

-Next event will be at Gamescom. Demos will be available.

-Pretty certain there will be a day 1 patch for XV

-XV Final release build may be available for TGS.

Translation thanks to xXShuyaXx. I left out E3 recap info.

Lots of cool DLC that isn't in my Deluxe version...

Suit is nice though, will be using it a lot.

i cannot wait to see what all black clothes they release as DLC

D:

I am praying for dlc clothes with some actual color. I get they want a unified look for the group but it looks boring as shit, especially having seen them wearing nothing but black for about a decade.

Does anyone know if there will be different types of armor or outfits(besides DLC) for the characters or will you go through the game with the same gay black outfits for everyone. That seems kind of lame if there is no customization.

- Graphics looked good.
- Good to see Knightsguard is still in.
- Why is Masamune the same animation as the heavy Broadsword?
- Mage Masher's mobility is nice.
- The white and black pixel art for the Regalia looks nice.

Just realized we're less than 100 days away from release in 3 months the game will get an official release some will probably get it even earlier. It's pretty crazy for someone that was waiting for this game since 2006.

The animation this game is astounding.

Yeah no open world game will come close in animation to this game.

Man, I am so torn on pre-ordering this game. Some parts look interesting and I feel better about combat with Wait mode. Then I see other stuff, like weak chat customization, probably lack of armor, not much difference in weapons, same stale black outfits and it just doesn't look good.

But BestBuy GCU and $10 voucher is drawing me in.

It's same for me with both Persona 5 and FFXV, waited almost 10 years for both and they're finally here two weeks apart WTF.

Cool info.

I just have this to say though: With getting one of those 300 dollar super editions, I better fucking get everything. All pre-order skins, all bonus dlc, etc.

I'm actually more excited for this game than ever before. I think it's just that it's actually coming out.

Double spear dragoon jump is sweet. Funny to see someone doing that stuff in a buttoned up suit though. Noct must have the finest tailors in the land.

Seeing that tease of the (supposed) final stretches of FFXV in Insomnia, I'm wondering if they have maybe retooled at least some of the original playable segments seen from the FFVsXIII era invasion intro into FFXV as the finale of the game. As in, fighting armored Behemoths on the streets, fighting in & outside the royal "palace" (skyscraper), airships crashing into buildings, epic last battle with the dragoon lady above the city on a flying platform etc. I mean, those scenes were technically designed already, would maybe save them some time & money to just "move" some of that stuff into FFXV as the finale since we'll be going to Insomnia anyway and the kind of chaos on the streets would be a fitting finale as well.

Any new info on Kingsglaive?

Japanese fans recently saw an early screening. Impressions are positive.

https://forum.finalfantasyxv.com/discussion/1964/kingsglaive-impressions#latest

https://twitter.com/r_kane1/with_replies

1st 2 min. of the film already made people cry.

The music during the ending credits is spectacular, and once you're immersed, a surprise lies at the end. Something that'll make you stay!

The identity of the specters in the Dawn trailer will be revealed.

Very emotional film, get tissues.

Key phrase for KINGSGLAIVE is "everything for the future king." Keep this in mind when watching the film!

Luna in the EN version gives more of a grown-up feel than the JP one.
The identities of the towering figures become clear in the film.

Some things coming out of the Kingsglaive advanced screening:

Those who finished Episode Duscae will know about the movie's ending.
The golden accessory on Regis's head is the royal crown (Nozue)

The identity of the all-armored character turns out to be kind of a surprise.

The Audi we thought is a car for official use actually belongs to someone.
Monster FFVII International makes surprising appearance.​

I want snowy area so bad. Please give me snowy area.

FFVII international monsters make surprising appearance? That's not very surprising, they even put it on the cover.

Is the international FF7 monster they're referring to the one we spotted in the trailer?
