Stealth is not like Duscae and the Chocobo can kick.

And we didn't even get a trailer.

Steps up all around.

I just hope they show more enemies. This looks like a very small bestiary so far >.>

This is mostly for Japan I think. They don't have standardized prices for games like the US.

Edit: And for CE and LE.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Is there a link to the game footage from the stream?

 

[NoctisVsStar]

So I can't watch a rebroadcast ?

 

[MultiJhonny]

"revealing the price"

I take that as different versions like an LE and a CE and what comes with those.

 

[watervengeance]

I wonder how much this game is going to cost, since it's something they plan to announce at the March event.

 

[Whompa02]

ah, okay cool. I was like uhhhhhhhhhh what?

 

[YunFang1130]

What about the blonde guy? Did he get cut? :< Disappointed in the Niflheim part. I wanted more

 

[YankeeDonB]

Combat footage looked promising, like the sound of the magic systems, and Tabata looked fairly confident. I think the game really is coming together nicely!

 

[raven777]

 

[sappyday]

Is there going to be some sort of gaming event in March for them to come all the way to LA for the March event?

 

[wmlk]

What about the blonde guy? Did he get cut? :< Disappointed in the Niflheim part. I wanted more

Or it could just be that he doesn't matter at all.

 

[chaosblade]

"revealing the price"

Probably the Japanese price. I don't pay any attention to their market but I don't think every game releases at the same standard price point there.

 

[pannagape]

I missed the last part; is the tech demo coming before or after the March event?

 

[Zaheer]

Seriously, don't. DO NOT DO IT!

 

[Trace]

What about the blonde guy? Did he get cut? :< Disappointed in the Niflheim part. I wanted more

They said that wasn't all the main characters. It wouldn't surprise me if they're keeping a lot of characters under wraps ATM.

 

[burgerdog]

Expecting release on Dec 30th here in the states. Lol.

Game is looking good, can't wait to play it. Also excited for the March event. Looking forward to hear what's in a collectors edition.

It's going to be before Christmas and possibly before thanksgiving if it's going to hit this year.

 

[_Final_Phoenix_]

They'll probably announce a special edition in March....Hoping the Canadian dollar will recover in time...

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

What about the blonde guy? Did he get cut? :< Disappointed in the Niflheim part. I wanted more

They said there are plenty more characters to reveal.

 

[Deleted member 20920]

Is there going to be some sort of gaming event in March for them to come all the way to LA for the March event?

Doesn't seem like it. They're just starting to spend their marketing dollars now since it'll be the start of their actual marketing campaign.

 

[Jigolo]

Is there going to be some sort of gaming event in March for them to come all the way to LA for the March event?

They're hosting their own thing.

 

[Mediking]

You've been posting images and gifs from the very beginning! You're awesome!!!

 

[duckroll]

If they're announcing in March, I would say best case scenario is Sept and worst case scenario is Dec.

 

[MayMay]

What about the blonde guy? Did he get cut? :< Disappointed in the Niflheim part. I wanted more

He probably falls under Governors or Captains.

 

[theofficefan99]

I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah. It's a shame but I'm sure the end result will end up feeling completely different. I mean, not like Type-0's set up sounds entirely different from something like XII, either.

Well, this is still Fabula Nova Crystallis isn't it?

I mean, the premise doesn't really include any FNC elements. I'm just referring to the whole "nation with dictator conquered everything except the home of the main characters" premise which is the same as Type-0's.

 

[Ōkami]

Probably the Japanese price. I don't pay any attention to their market but I don't think every game releases at the same standard price point there.

Wouldn't expect less than 8000 yen for Japan.

Square Enix tax and all.

 

[Hastati]

Had serious MGS recall in the last video! Was very impressive overall. I'm still a little worried that it will suffer from the usual dilution of activities that open world games are plagued with, but the graphics, gameplay and even story look pretty entertaining right now. Really quite excited to play it, but if they are going to announce it in March then are we looking at a November release or maybe early next year?

 

[Pharaoh 117]

FFXV already was my most anticipated 2016 game but this ATR just broke my hype meter.

 

[rayman1900]

They'll probably announce a special edition in March....Hoping the Canadian dollar will recover in time...

hahahahahahaha ! It's a good one ! LOLL

 

[sappyday]

They're hosting their own thing.

Crazy they're coming all the way out here. Maybe I should try to go? If it's open to the public that is.

Well actually I just realized they probably want a lot of gaming journalist to attend.

 

[Athreous]

Guys, imagine Bahamut being summoned!

Also, can't wait for the CE *-*

 

[MisterSamMan]

Tim Gettys & Greg Miller will be hosting the Uncovered event.

 

[Jarmel]

If they're announcing in March, I would say best case scenario is Sept and worst case scenario is Dec.

If they're doing a global release day, my money is on Dec. Oct/Nov would possibly be suicide in the US, leaving either Sept or Dec.

 

[On Demand]

Up until now what they've been doing was for FFXV fans. After March they'll focus on a wider audience.

Uh oh.... Leona Lewis incoming.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Life has no meaning without this game.

Really?

 

[birthbysleep]

Tim Gettys & Greg Miller will be hosting the Uncovered event.

this is seriously stupid. Greg Miller doesn't even like final fantasy.

 

[sense]

If they're announcing in March, I would say best case scenario is Sept and worst case scenario is Dec.

August would probably be better away from the fall releases but square has deus ex for that month so either they surprise us and say June or it is September imo

 

[Sagittal]

I'm struggling to view this title as a Final Fantasy game, I just hope all of the teleporting and jumping around won't get to messy.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Tim Gettys & Greg Miller will be hosting the Uncovered event.

I am actually surprised Greg is hosting. He isn't really an FF fan.

 

[Altered Juice]

lol said PC and gaffers start sweatin

port begging going full force these last few pages.

 

[Ōkami]

Tim Gettys & Greg Miller will be hosting the Uncovered event.

Most definetly not watching anymore.

Will wait for the footage to be released later.

 

[Hatchtag]

is there a recap available anywhere?
all i've seen was metal gears are now in, there's stealth for some reason, and we're getting the big release date thing in two months.

 

[diesturbia]

I want to RSVP for the free ticket :0

 

[theofficefan99]

...can they reveal the price of the tickets at least?

EDIT: It's free?


Wow... I want to avoid footage until the game is out but I dunno if I can. Especially if there's a free event in LA.

 

[Trace]

...can they reveal the price of the tickets at least?

"RSVP for your free ticket" ???

 

[YunFang1130]

They said that wasn't all the main characters. It wouldn't surprise me if they're keeping a lot of characters under wraps ATM.

Ah true. These "little drops" of info are killing me though.

 

[AdanVC]

Man, if they announce a CE at the March event I will preorder it in a second! The thing is that I don't even have a PS4 yet but this game totally convinced me to get one ASAP to play this beauty. This FF is aiming to be among the best on the franchise already!

 

[duckroll]

August would probably be better away from the fall releases but square has deus ex for that month so either they surprise us and say June or it is September imo

The reason I think June is unlikely is because for a game this big, I think they would want at least a full 6 month marketing cycle for it, which they have indicated will begin in March. That also includes retailer tie-ins, on-site promotional stands, etc. A 3 month cycle would be extremely short.

 

[Boss Mog]

This is how games are made man. The technical things are the most important things.

Important things like graphics and presentation?

You cannot separate technology from a videogame. Tech is just as important as game design.

Sorry but as far as JRPGs go I think graphics aren't that important. Games like FFVI and Chrono Trigger can still be enjoyed today by a new generation of gamers that didn't grow up on 2D games and to whom such graphics look primitive.

Persona 5 and Tales of Berseria will be coming to PS4 as well and they will be vastly inferior to FFXV in the technical department and yet they may very well end up being better games.
