Final Fantasy XV Confirmed For 2016 Release
- Thread starter Steven Bogos
- Start date
I was hyped when it was vs 13 and cried when kotaku said it had been cancelled. Now I'm just afraid. The fact that they changed the storyline and completely got rid of Stella as the antagonist to Noctis which would have been actually interesting... I'm just very afraid.Mister K said:

XV is 15.Nazulu said:
Also, can't believe no-one has pointed this out yet but the link in the OP indicates this game was announced two and a half years ago rather than ten years ago as stated? Typo?
I'll be honest, I was quite happy with the demo I got with Type 0 (which wasn't FF13 bad but wasn't great either). I'm actually looking forward to this. I don't complain much about the characters, have learned to see them as a form of Japanese B-game campness. I don't think thats what they're going for, not at all, but it makes it funny for me and I enjoy the games more because of that. Its either look at it that way or want to strangle at least 1/3 of the cast every time they speak.
Oh, I forgot to say that I am not counting MMO's. I meant XIII, XIII-2, XIII-3 and (hopefully not) XV. And I didn't call them failures because of sales, but rather because of the general reception at the very least in the West (don't know what Japanese think about XIII and its sequels).Silvanus said:
Now that I think about it, I should've included VIII aswell.
In other FF news, FF IX is apparently getting a PC launch in Japan in the next year or so. Which will probably end up in the west not to long after that.
Though the Primary source on this is Kotaku, which may be why it hasn't been mentioned here yet.
As for FFXV, don't really care. Pretty much all the games past IX have failed to excite me(Well, X did....about halfway through the game, when Tidus stopped being annoying as shit). I don't see anything in XV's trailer that makes me think this is the one that's gonna make me care again.

Oh don't worry about that, it doesn't matter how much money Nomura's vanity projects make back; they just pilfer their current-running MMOs to fund all their other overbudget dead-end projects instead of investing back in the thing people like! =D-Dragmire- said:
I have to agree. People are quick to shit on this before we've even gotten our hands on it. People say the demo is good, if they keep up with that it should be at the very least a "good" game. I have confidence it will be "very good" to "great". People go on as though it shouldn't be finished because it was in development so long, and then what should Square do? They would be worse off NOT finishing it, and making no money off it, then releasing it to slightly depressing sales. For all we know it could still be a break through release. Especially if they added say... a demo for another upcoming title.I will be buying this day one, for sure.Affordablequote said:
Eh, I played the demo and didn't like what I played, and I sank quite a bit of time into it trying to find something to like about it. Yeah, yeah, not the final version, but I highly doubt the finished product will be all that much better. I know it's an MMO, and sure it's not nearly as pretty, but Final Fantasy XIV is a hell of a lot more fun to play.Affordablequote said:
Other than that, I think one of the bigger reasons expectations are low among other people is the convoluted development cycle this game had, as games with such long and overly complicated developments don't usually turn out to be very good. There are exceptions, but the way Square Enix has handled Final Fantasy lately, I think we're all pretty skeptical that this will be the one where they get it right.
Of course, I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong. I love Final Fantasy, including a lot of the spin-offs, so to see the franchise get a single player game that can revive the series would be great.
This is Humor, Good Sir.Affordablequote said:
Final Fantasy XIII and it's ilk were depressing(in pretty much every way possible). That and TWO MMO's and one MMO wannabe have a lot of us feeling that the last real Final Fantasy game was IX or X(depending on where you draw the line).
SE wants us to believe in the series again, they need to actually deliver a good game for the first time in 15 years. The trust we used to have is no longer there.
Or they could just give in, admit they really just want to make movies and just make movies from now on.
Edited for content.
Well, some also say that XII was good too. But I played only up to a certain point and only remember that kid characters Vaan and Penelo were awful and combat system was boring. However I also remember liking gambits and other party members. Plus the story was intriguing, at least.Dalisclock said:
Anyhow, I'll have to replay it at a certain point in the future, when either inevitable PC port or inevitable HD remaster comes out.
