Don't bother. He's trolling.

Yeah, I increasingly find that indulging my nostalgia with music from games is a lot more efficient than trying to go back and actually play said games.

Can't wait to play it at 2160p*. Should look a lot better.
You know what, despite the fact that chain-saw and guns are definitely a thing in old FFs, I kind of understand why people would say "this is not the FF I remember".
When you have guns and chain-saw in a turn-base RPG, they really just are another set of icons. You use them the same way you use other JRPG weapons: select them in the menu. It doesn't occur to you that "we CoD now". In FFXV, you actually shoot your gun, with scoop and everything, and that's where the Gears vibe kicks in. I don't think people should be surprised to see guns in FFXV, however, because the 2011 VXIII gameplay trailer clearly shows Prompto shooting his pistol with full TPS mechanics, back then you can control your bros.

I haven't played many entries for FF, but even then, I know modern weapons have been a thing since way back when. Vincent with his handgun, Irvine with his sniper rifle, Balthier with his gun, and Sazh with his pistols. Seeing Noctis use a Sniper with looking through the scope seems like a natural evolution of the style.

I wish FF would go back to medieval fantasy :/ IX greatest.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
People will probably say this about FFXVI, FFXVII, FFXVIII, FFXIX, FFXX.
FFIX is hardly "Medieval"

Looking good... there's improvement in the hair's AA (?).
Let's pray that FFXVI will go back to IX's vide
Did you play the previous FF games?

Sure bud.
Yeah but later you get black mage factory and clone aliens. FFIX takes a lot from medieval but it's more than that.

Of course it's more than that, but the predominant setting, architecture, themes are medieval fantasy. Swords, magic, etc. As opposed to this futuristic gun and boy band in a car bullshit.
I think XV looks alright, just .. not my setting of choice. IX and XIV have my favorite settings by far.
Stealth playthroughs would be sick to see.
Sure, Alexandria and Dali are very "medieval like". Same can't be said for Treno that looks more like a XVIII century European city, or Lindblum that has fucking aircabs. Burmecia you only get to see destroyed and abandoned, does kind of have a medieval feel to it. That' just the Mist continent.
I know what you mean, but I don't think the game is "medieval". Not like a Witcher or a Dragon Quest.

This game looks more and more impressive every time I see it.
Sure bud.
FFIX always struck me as more Renissance than midevil

Heh, opening this thread thinking "Let's see how many people forgot Edgar and Vincent used similar weapons" made the first few pages a fun read.

What.
Steiner doesn't look medieval at all. He looks like a conquistador from the Renaissance / Age of Discovery.
And the last picture... seriously?

Most Final Fantasy games are more Renaissance than Medieval. Renaissance style tech and styles are pretty common in all the "medieval" titles. Pirates and ship design. Building architecture. Transportation systems and advanced ironworks. Steam engines. Wood stoves. The earliest settings still fit pretty comfortably in that early Renaissance late Medieval 1300s/1400s era overlap.
