Final Fantasy XV: Everything We Know

Kotaku - The 15th Final Fantasy doesn't have a release date yet, nor does it even have a release year, but there's still plenty of information floating around about the next entry in Square Enix's titanic flagship series.

nick3094696d ago

Im not hyped until i play this, remember the hype for xiii?

Ksar4696d ago

Yes, and that was a great game. So I'm waiting FFXV as well :)

nick3094696d ago

FF 13 &2 were decent at best. The characters were interesting but the combat was way worse than the story.

Xof4696d ago

They hype for XIII is still so strong that some gamers actually think it was a decent game.

Garbanjo0014696d ago

Dude I'm hyping this game because it's going to be amazing. I have waited for a darker version of FF for a long time. Everything I have seen is astounding, and I can't wait. Magitek armor? Are you shitting me? I'm totally screaming hell yeah right now.

titans99994696d ago

Don't get too excited or you will be disappointed....they are removing airships! I also did not see any summons, chocobos, or mogs either!

youndamie4696d ago

@titan no summons? did you not see Leviathan during the E3 trailer? I pretty sure there will be airships and chocobos, but I am not to sure about mogs tho.

Garbanjo0014695d ago

Did you not read the article?

Yes to all:
Chocobos (much later in the game).
Airships (of course much later in the game).
Summons (you have to fight to earn them).
Magitek armor?

Yes there is quite a bit of stuff in the world, what do you expect from a sneak peak trailer a year before the game comes out??? They couldn't show everything . . .

Don't be pessimistic "they didn't show chocobos, they must not be in it." And how can you say that there weren't summons and airships when clearly there are both (leviathan) in the reveal on PS4 at E3. I'm going to get excited anyway, this game is going to be sweet.

I know everything I need to. IT'S FINALLY COMING!!!

frozen-assets4696d ago

Squaresoft seems to think their roots are really pretty cutscenes. They have strayed away from what made them a runaway success. I see the trailers for FFXV and I see FFXIII all over again. The last FF I REALLY loved was FFX.

Xenoblade to me represents a current day iteration of the Final Fantasy series. Very much looking forward to what Monolith soft comes out with next.

titans99994696d ago

It is not Squaresoft anymore, they merged, and are now Square Enix, which is part of the problem!

NatureOfLogic4696d ago

We know It no longer has airships since becoming XV, they might even ditch the overworld/world map. I have low expectations for every FF(main series) until they can prove that they can make another true Final Fantasy experience.

NatureOfLogic4696d ago

Keep in mind that versus was suppose to be more like the traditional FFs. It looks like that ideal is also changing along with the name change. I'm just saying, I wouldn't get to hyped over this game, but I'm really hoping It turns out to be a good FF game.

FinalFantasyFan4695d ago

"Keep in mind that versus was suppose to be more like the traditional FFs."

Atually, it wasn't. Do you even know why it was called Final Fantasy 'Versus' XIII in the first place? Anyway, I'm happy they changed it's name.

Irishguy954691d ago

Nah...we know it's exactly how it was supposed to be.

Six Times When Games Turned Into A Horror Game

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog377d ago (Edited 377d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom376d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk77376d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125511d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501511d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne511d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989511d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga511d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989511d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga510d ago (Edited 510d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69511d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid510d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69510d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp511d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion763d ago (Edited 763d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled763d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
