I never said it was about turn-based. But all FF have had magic menus up until now, and they could have used the KH-system for magic as well as better battle mechanics. All FF since tech has advanced have had cutscenes with heavy lore. This doesn't. You start a cutscene and it seems like the conversation is already over with. I never expected I'd play a FF game where it literally takes 10-15 minutes to drive somewhere for a damn quest. And shitty/sho...
I wonder how this is possible, considering MS is a western system, and FFXV is a WRPG.
Agreed.
You can take a quick look around the net and find alot of us who are disappointed. It's needlessly open world- it's lore is so short it could be considered a fetchquest(a cutscene will start and it'll seem like half the conversation's already over), and fetchquest type progression in general really killed it for me. I mean, I usually leave, smoke a cig, make a sandwich, etc, when driving around because it takes so damn long to get anywhere. It's basically a driving WRPG...
I disagree. Stella's styling and facing off with Noctis gives it away. She would have been a frenemy instead of a housewife. There's so much they could have done with that concept, even in FFXV as it is, they could have done the game the exact same but just changed up that one aspect by making her under the influence of her brother. Perfect. Plus Stella's way hotter IMO.
That said, I think the game should have kept the KH-system as well. Tabata had no bus...
I don't even like you MRMagoo and I can agree. This game is not what I expected.
@Edmix, you are a moron beyond belief. You first say that FFVII is realistic like FFXV, and then say 'That's because this is FFXV, not FFVII' when I explain how they're not. The inconsistency in your argument shows you're lying, 'nuff said.
The point is no FF has been as reality based or westernized as this one. You've argued for and against yourself so far, so I'm just not going to respond to your bullshit now.
No, Potions can revive you from 0HP is the point. Phoenix downs are pretty much redundant.
Yes, chests should be in FF. It's a simple addition that adds to the atmosphere. They can be medieval, fantastical, or even modern like in Final Fantasy VII. It also shows a difference in progression. In Final Fantasy there are defined areas, leading to chests. In FFXV there's endless running, driving, and banter, leading to item pickups to increase the pace. Which just...
Turned-based or KH-system is all I'll accept from now on. Tabata's system skewed way too far from FF battle mechanics.
Oh yeah SSJBDomon, Sakaguchi has a new game coming out by Mistwalker, so your hopes aren't that far off:

Very oldschool FF-esque.
Read my comment above under Foxtrot. I agree with everything you've said and have shown how it's affected story and mechanics.
@Edmix
You hardly level anything up. You're not leveling Materia, Spells, Guardian Force, Sphere Grids, you're leveling your character very basically. Customization options for armor is scant at best which this game really could have taken advantage of. You get 4-5 summons, 4 options per battle. The KH-system could expand on this so much, but Tabata just had to make it his own vision. And 'being made in Japan' makes it an FF? Tell that to the 99% of games made i...
Not that it's a bad game or anything, but it's definitely not a Final Fantasy. Scant magic options, difficult defend system(no heavy block), potions act as phoenix downs, no treasure chests, very grounded in reality type atmosphere(seems like a generic action game half of the time), and very light on cutscenes at essential parts of the story, almost as if essential story elements were WRPG fetchquests. When a cutscene starts, it seriously seems like half the conversation is already...

New Mistwalker console game is in development... Hoping it's next year for PS4 as well as Xbox for max sales.
Apparently there is a new console game by Mistwalker. Look it up. The mobile game is another called Terra Battle.
Edit: Matter of fact, here ya go: https://www.vg247.com/2016/...
I'm hoping it releases on PS4 as well as Xbox this time around, so they can get maximum sales.
I like the balance of the KH/FFVIIR engine. It has the action of FFXV, but the menus and closer pace to old-school turn-based FF.
I'd really like to see what Sakaguchi could put forth in that same system with Uematsu.
@Sitdown
Far from it, I want to see both companies compete for our dollar. I was actually 360-only last-gen and only just recently got a PS4-Pro. Sony just keeps killing it with game releases- and I don't even like some like Uncharted or Horizon. But they have so many it's hard not to find a good game. I also detest how crappy their UI is along with Network connection problems I've never had with MS. But overall the experience is acceptable and has the one ...
Mistwalker is apparently doing a new console game. The art is very throwback FF-esque. I think the mobile is another project, Terra Battle.

If it's just the same old Halo/Gears I don't think a slight res bump for multiplats is gonna draw me away from PS4-Pro.
That said:
-Halo/Gears are getting worst
-Scalebound would have been genius if it didn't have a douchey main character and dubstep, rather lore like Drakengard or something.
-Recore turned out to be a failure
-Sea of Thieves is indie level
-So is Ori
-They're just shitting on Rare IPs
...
Yeah, basically PS4 is the main JRPG box, and Sony has tons of exclusives to choose from. I wonder if Sakaguchi's(creator of FF) new game will be multiplatform or just Xbox like last-gen though. Hoping we get that game as well so I don't have to buy an Xbox lol
Not impressed with FFXV so far. I don't mind that it's not turned based, I just think it's weak on battle mechanics. No magic menus(seriously, 4 options per battle), no heavy block, camera sucks. Then you have the fetchquest type progression. You can literally drive 10-15 minutes between quests. I've smoked ciggarettes, made sandwiches, used the bathroom during driving scenes because it's unreal how long they take. Even the main story cutscenes are so short, uninform...
