Square Enix Releases Extended Final Fantasy XV Gameplay Trailer
- Thread starter StewShearerOld
- Start date
It looks great, and I'm sure I'll bite. But am I alone in wishing the Squeenix would do another game that returned to some of the more old school stylized looks. I loved how FFIX looked and would love to see another like that. Or is that sort of thing forever banished to the KH series?
So Square-Enix took a canceled game and are calling it the next installment in the series? That's a little... foreboding. Games that have had a development history similar to XIII Versus have not panned out well.
Everything just looks way too over the top. I don't know if that's because they felt like they had to bring the game's A-game to the E3 trailer, but it looks a little too spastic to be Final Fantasy to me. I'm sure I'll play it at some point - and the game may surprise me - but as it stands now, I'm fairly unimpressed.

So.. can we expect this by what... like year 4 of the PS4? Seriously, if this isn't a launch title this is all meaningless. They may just revamp it again and we won't see it for another 5 years.
That said, though the gameplay is a bit nonsensical and it doesn't make much sense out of context as it looks mostly like a clusterfuck... it looks way better than anything I have seen in a long long time. Pretty enough, but I don't give a shit if it plays like junk. All those animations looks like it could be kinda clunky, but I am looking forward to seeing more... mostly a release date.

...So is nobody else going to comment on the moment where we see a character with a light muscular build not just pick up an approximately two-ton sword, but also have enough strength to swing it into the monster that wielded it and get it deeply embedded into its torso?
There's a point where over-the-top goes a tad too far, and, well, it did for that single moment.

Why's everyone wearing black? Did they get their dry cleaning mixed up with the members of an emo punk band?
Anyhoo, the game looks like allot of fun, I don't think I've been this genuinely excited for a Final Fantasy game in nearly a decade! Plus I'm glad they ditched that awful beta name, "Final Fantasy versus XIII?" it sounds like a fighting game between FF characters and people from that cell shaded FPS on the PS2/XBX (which I would totally play by the way).
It seems to be in an entirely different universe anyway, so the FFXV re-branding makes allot of sense to me, looking forward to it!

It's like they combined Kingdom Hearts' franticness with the crazy that is FF and combat akin to Devil May Cry/Dark Souls. I have a big grin on my face!
Someone already stole my words; looks like KH and DMC combined.
But then I got a scary flashback. It reminded me of Dirge of Cerberus. Ugh.
But then again, it's a FF game and I'm up for it. I've liked most FF games out there (Let's pretend XIII doesn't exist) and that's a good enough guarantee. Nice to see Squeenix take a step on the right direction.

Considering that the Vita has been out for a while and the HD PORT of FFX isn't even out yet speaks volumes to how slowly they get games out. Expect Versus to arrive around 3-5 years from now if we are lucky.Baresark said:
It looks like it is a more complex and mature Kingdom Hearts with more platforming elements. If done well, it could be fucking amazing.
Am I the only one looking at the main character and thinking Sasuke from Naruto?
...
Tell me I'm not alone.
You know, I hadn't written off the next Final Fantasy installment, just yet. But I wasn't waiting with baited breath. But having seen the trailer during the Sony conference, I was cautiously optimistic, bordering on excited (The Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer at the same time helped).
But, now, I am going to be keeping an eye on this title. That trailer looked good. Not just beautiful in graphics, we already knew that much. But the gameplay looked good. The combat looked fun. Let me see some more like this and explain what's going on, and I may just have to buy this game. We'll see.

Chance of getting PS4 due to this game: Increased to 65% due to KH3 factor.
Maverick.EXE...how does this compare to the other next gens?
Current chance of getting WiiU: 100% due to SSB and X
Current chance of getting XBOX One: 0% due to customer policies
Huh...so far Microsucks is looking like the loser here. Going in with EA didn't help either.

Ok this is sickeningly awesome, and i love the Inclusion of an Iron Giant from FF VIII. My PS4 preorder is pretty much confirmed now.
But you know there is another game here waiting to be made: the sad saga of the poor city employees that have to clear up the destructible terrain after every battle! seriously, these guys look like a walking Urban Renewal project!

To each their own, indeed. I don't usually "defend" myself in forums, but you seem civil enough and FF is a subject I love talking abouttheultimateend said:
.I played FF12 about halfway through, and then gave up. Up until that point, I had tried to convince myself that it was fun, that it was still FF and that it had at least some merits that made it worth playing.
It was kind of like playing Duke Nukem forever back when it was new and people hadn't yet completely started railing on it... except that people never really did start railing on FF12. In fact, I got the impression that both critics and players liked it, which only puzzled me even more.
The constant stealing from foes to get money, to the complete and utter blandness of the protagonist Vahn, to the lackluster combat and environments... it all just added up to, in my opinion, the worst entry in the series. Even FF13 was better (which I actually played through til the end, mostly because I wanted to complete it for completions sake).
(Just as an aside note, my favourite in the series was FF9. Love it to bits, and have played it through several times. FF7 and 10 are close seconds)
