Cid? She looks more like a Welch (Vineyard) to me.

I'm more interested in how combat and level-up works rather than FMV cutscenes. Are there job classes?

It probably will come out to PC, even if it is sometime down the line instead of DAY 1, the sales from FFXIII and XIII-2 haven't been that bad.
True. Though they would be nice, I don't mind lack of indepth graphic options. But Consistent 60 FPS. 60FPS man. That is mandatory. Without it, I will never buy the game. Instant dealbreaker for me.
Tell me about it. I've been dealing with sub 30fps on FFXIII-2 on a GTX970, putting it at 4k or just 1080p makes no difference at all, so there's more than an obvious optimization problem on their end.

Here's to Hoping FFXIII LR will be better...

Before it would be "new" character and now we have the "first female" character. Now i dont remember this site advertising the "first male" character in this game. Anyway, was never sure about this game but the more i hear about it the more i want to play it.This could be a great FF game.

As is the usual for the latest FF games, looks to be all show and no substance. The usual character archetypes too. Naive young guy, aggressive young guy, cool headed mentor and... that other dude.

Is this now a sandbox? If not, what's the point in showing so much of the car?

I'm glad FF is going in a different direction as far as the overall atmosphere of the game goes, but they've shat the bed too many times.
Skeptic as always, eh Scully? (that is Scully, right)

Yeah, pretty sure that SE mentioned a few times that the game's going to be open world.

as for the open world, honestly did not know that. that's a bit more interesting, but SE are just as likely to fuck it up.

As for Cid, it's refreshing to see a new take on a series staple, but I couldn't help but roll my eyes a bit at her needlessly suggestive attire. I don't begrudge any woman who feels comfortable in a bikini top, booty shorts, and thigh-highs, but is that really a practical outfit for a mechanic? Then again, Final Fantasy attire isn't really known for being practical [http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080314220346/finalfantasy2/de/images/5/54/Vaan_FFXII.jpg].
As you yourself said...practical attire is almost much the antithesis of what Final Fantasy design is about. The design specification doesn't include "practical for role". Its almost a rule by now. Vaan who you linked (effectively a street urchin dressed like a stripper), Zell (a martial arts specialist with ridiculously baggy pants which could surely only be a problem), Tifa (a resistance leader dressed in leather hotpants and a tight, short sleeveless shirt) and Fran (a "warrior maiden" dressed like a dominatrix). Not to mention that strange outfit Tidus had with one leg longer than the other on a baggy outfit when his job involves SWIMMING. The list could go on for a while.

Personally I find the outfits barely even register with me anymore. I just mentally accept it. Its FF. That's what it does.

Either way, quite like the idea of mixing it up with Cid. Doing something different.



The trailer itself gave me vibes of Final Fantasy 8 which was my first FF love so...yeah I think I might enjoy this. Although the voice acting...the snippet there I wasn't too impressed with.

To be fair whilst I'm normally on board with "why is it necessary to specify" in this case Cid has always been known as a male character. Not the same character, but always male. So stating its the first female CID specifically is a pretty big deal. Its not just a new character. Its a new character which is one of the things that is kept between games, but they've diverted from the archetype.

It'd be like stating the "Snake" character in the next Metal Gear Solid was going to be female. Or something like that the next Lara Croft was going to be male (not the best example but there's not a huge amount of games where they have different characters with the same name; at least MGS had several Snakes).

So, she's a redneck wearing a Daisy Duke style outfit? At least, Cid "Sit down and drink your goddamn TEA" Highwind from FF, and Cid "I'm trying to channel every 60s to 70s WWII and Western movie hero" from FFX were really hard to nail any cliches in their characters. Here, shes your typical "midriff-baring southern gal who knows more about cars than any guy within 500 miles" cliche. I'll chalk the accent up to the localization, but even that could have been a request from the creative team. The outfit definitely was.

Also something no media mentions about this kind of outfit, wearing that while working on cars means she must spend a lot of time in the shower and a lot LAVA soap to get the inevitable grease and road grime off her skin. Unless, FF cars get fixed and cleaned by casting cure spells on it. No matter how hard hard you try, something nasty will always get on you if you're doing more than airing up the tires.

That voice acting is fucking atrocious. I mean Jesus christ. I'm not even usually the type to get really uppity about voice acting but the emotions are all wrong. It's like they just did the acting without seeing the characters or the cutscenes.

So this is supposed to be in a modern "real world" setting and squeenix still can't get its shit together for some consistency and not add their stupid looking, overdesigned armor concocted by some teenager by slapping "cool looking" shapes together, functionality be damned?



It also still has everyone fight with naginatas, swords, spears and axes even though firearms are a thing because "eets final fantasy, they have to do swords" and the main characters are still those brutally unrelatable plastic doll androgynous emo male supermodel non-human constructs that raise the irrational urge in me to punch them into their stupid waxy face every time I see them?



Oh look it even has not-cloud!!



"Guys!! Guys!!
Remember final fantasy 7? You liked final fantasy 7, right?
Because this is like final fantasy 7!!
We really wish for this to be another final fantasy 7!!
Pre-order now for final fantasy 7 themed skins!!
Final fantasy 7."


Oh yeah also female cid who is some stripper cosplaying as a mechanic I guess.
Awesome, can't wait.

They did say 60FPS, as a matter of fact, it still does on the info page of the game on steam.
Yet if you look at the forums (Steam or the official site, even the official NeoGaf thread for the game) no one can manage 60FPS on this game, no matter how powerful the hardware is, unless you're in the title screen or looking at the sky in some area's...

Want to know what else is bullshit? They stated they couldn't fully release all the DLC because of licensing reasons which is acceptable but then of course...

http://steamcommunity.com/app/292140/discussions/0/619574421343062255/

People notice that everything is still in the game, just locked away behind code.

So yea, here's to hoping yet again, that if FFXV does come out for PC, it won't be like this atrocity.

I actually have no problem with Cid being female. Heck been thinking that for awhile. Though also been thinking why is Cid human all the time, mainly in the settings where there's races besides human(though we did have a Mog Cid at one time).

But really? This is what you decide to do? I mean it's a bad cliche in it's own right but to do this to the game's incarnation of Cid? Square-Enix what the heck guys?

I think Sarah is on her "jump to conclusions" mat. I just watched the video and it appears that the (2 seconds!) the character was in the video she said her name was "Sin" or "Cin".

Also, for a FF that seems to feature so many male protagonists as a switch up, I'm sort of annoyed that the character designs are still so effeminate. Seriously, the "pretty boy cute" shit is getting annoying. I really miss character designs like Auron and Wakka, you know, where men have actual facial features that look like men instead of teenage girls.

and ...

I still don't care about FF15, least in terms of buying it.

I'm waiting for reviews before I consider adding it to the 'to get' list of games.

Okay. What the fuck is the point of this Paragraph? What is so inherently special about Cid (if it is indeed Cid given pronounciation didnt sound like it) being a woman, or being dressed in that way? In Final Fantasy 9 Cid was a Frog with an oversized Moustache. And who the fuck would give a toss about how short her shorts are or how open her jacket is?

Seriously, can we just stop with this 1920's moral grandstanding about how women dress? Fucking puritan bullshit. Maybe she dresses that way because, i dunno, maybe its hot? Maybe she just likes to? Maybe its not even Cid? Maybe its an Android? The list goes on.

EDIT: Accidentally hit Post instead of Preview

Anyhow, as for the rest of the trailer, it looks kinda like Final Fantasy 8, but with better graphics. Maybe its just the car-bit which throws me off but it seems like we've been here before.

Well, it does look quite a bit different from any other Final Fantasy game style-wise. I'm interested.

And yeah, that girl's outfit isn't that bad. I've seen woman actually dressed like that. Tidus' outfit from Final Fantasy X was much worse. he's wearing an open jacket with no shirt and partially torn off tear-away pants. What female Final Fantasy Character has dressed like that?

so just like to stat after the bull they pulled at the gaming awards with the pc port of ff7 to ps4 do they think they will have enough of a fan base left to even get anyone to buy this game now even though it looks similar to a canceled game from a while back.

I could not be more hyped for this game. But I don't want to buy a PS4 or an xbone, so lets hope it comes to PC.

I REALLY want this game to be good, I'm more forgiving of 13 than most but the brief time I played "A Realm Reborn" showed me that, underneath it all Square Enix can still make a good Final Fantasy game, I'm excited for the return to an open-world style, hell give me an old-school world map with the tiny towns and I'd be happy, I just really want this to be good, I don't like not liking Final Fantasy, here's hoping
