Final Fantasy XV Taipei Game Show | January Active Time Report Thread
- Thread starter Go_Ly_Dow
- Start date
This was also what I was thinking which I was slightly bummed about but whatever. Makes sense since we haven't really been able to see what type of points magic would consume, like MP. Just don't care for the idea that your magic attacks are basically the same as the consumable items in FFVII - "casts bolt 2 on all opponents"
We could be wrong about that though. Either way, everything else they showed made up for that in my opinion.
Lol who are you? Please don't tell me how to feel. Thank you.
As I've stated, I'm extremely excited about the game. Moreso now than ever. I find this event being named and announced two months ahead of time to be strange but do understand the marketing reason. That's all I said. It's over.
Edit: I didn't see there was another thread to talk specifically about "uncovered". A lot of posts in there about the exact same thing so I'll head over there instead.

- Return of Dragoon Women
- Names for many of the antagonists
- Fresh, clean, minimalist UI.
- Ariel Combat
- More Yoko Shimomura music
- Fire, Lightning, Blizzard Spells confirmed
- Noctis using katana
- Stealth Kills using warp
- Manual Weapon changing
- New monsters revealed
- Crocodile death rolls
- Slick weapon change animations
and most importantly
- Frog locomotion 100% complete
- Chocobo kick confirmed
Definitely one of the best trailers they have put out. They showed exciting new gameplay, and re-revealed a character who I thought was lost in the FF Vs XIII ---> FFXV transition. Progress Report #2 is dated back in to Fall of last year and still looked pretty good.
This game's development since Tabata's announcement as the game's new director has been one hell of a roller coaster. Filled with tons of lows, but some of the highest of highs. FFXV's development beginning with those tantalizing Nomura CG trailers in 2006 to this polished combat in 2016 is kinda surreal. Fans of Final Fantasy, the brand itself, and video games in general, have changed so since 2006.
I'm just happy, and at times frustrated, to have been on this ride since day 1.

Well said, across the board.

Yeah, and he cast fire on the oil which led to the big explosion at the end. This kind of environmental magic interaction could be very cool....
I'm just now getting around to watching the presentation. These guys are hilarious. "The American offices are always yelling at us that the slides are Japanese only, so it's pre-recorded.
SAKAGUCHI!

Dart mini-game confirmed?
Also we can see Luna sitting in the camp, with another character initially on the floor, could be a female by the way he/she clapped afterwards.
Upon closer inspection, I think it's a young boy, not a woman.

Yeah, thought so, too. Hmmm, I wonder who that could be.

I think it's just one of those pre-determined scenes playing out while camping out.

Do you guys think maybe this is Glauca in the E3 2013 trailer and he got a redesign?
EDIT: For comparison, the new image

Oooh good catch, that might be it
I couldn't tell if we were looking at him from the front or back in the new image.
That E3 thing looks like it might be one of the Niflheim army's robots instead of a human character.

Not sure where best to put this, but since Tabata played up their co-development with 9 other Asian companies at the Taipei show, I'll stick it here. I don't think they've publicly announced all their partnerships.
Marza Animation Planet (CG animation company for Sonic, Resident Evil films) is working on Final Fantasy XV, according to a former employee's résumé.

It's kind of true; that armor looks like metal bark. A little busy.

This was very heart-warming for me to see. Can't wait to see it in color and motion.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Not surprised. Marza did tremendous work in Space Pirate Captain Harlock.
Turns out you were right.
