Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

Development is damn hard. And it's not like Tabata's been secretive about the wildly ambitious September date.

Schreier: How has the optimization been going? There’s so much going on and there are so many graphical effects that it must be tough to get a stable framerate on consoles.

Tabata: I’m not gonna lie, that is a very difficult thing. It’s hard work. It’s troubling us doing that. If we just said ‘we’re gonna cut this off to make it better,’ that could be quite easy, but we really don’t want to do that. We’ve been keeping some people waiting about ten years for this game now, so we really don’t want to cut anything. For example, we could take away the number of enemies who appear at once or cut down the number of effects on screen—it would be very easy to optimize it then, but we don’t want to do that.

The thing I know is that The Witcher 3 was delayed three times, and it worked wonders on the game. I also wanted to play the game on September, but I prefer the team to take as much time as they need.
I just hope the game gets released this year and that it also gets a PC version, so that it doesn't have to compromise performance at a graphic level.

wow,
the leak was real
after all.
IMO, the idea that they had no inside knowledge is going to be hard to defend at the very least.

I would not say that this means the leaks are 100% true. It means that any of the quotes COULD be true. And if this news gets anyone down, don't forget that all of it is without context. There is no way to reasonably discern any level of quality from them. They are essentially plot points that may or may not be true.

I won't say I told you so. But, that's a lie. I told you so :p

Context is everything, like you said. How much of a spoiler is it, really, when it happens at the very beginning of the game? The leaker - real or not - was very high on the game too, FWIW.

And if we're keeping track on the Versus scorecard: http://gematsu.com/2010/08/final-fantasy-versus-xiii-all-the-details-so-far

It’s a dark and sad story which aims to show how heavy and painful the burden that the heroes are carrying is, how painful their paths can be, and how important flashes of happiness are in a world ravaged by greed and despair. The keyword for Versus XIII story is misery, and it can be applied to all main characters.

Fugg. At the very, very least, that person had access to the beginning of the game (whether watching videos/pics, playing it, testing it, hearing things about it...) Luckily I didn't read much (and it was by accident).

But the thing I did read and do remember is about Noctis' appareance. He also detailed the rest of the dudes'. I'm interested in seeing how a beard fits Noctis, can't really picture him with one.
 
Weren't there, like, two different leaks that detailed the beginning? And this could confirm either of them.

I hope he looks like original Regis. That would make so much sense if they axed his design to use it for older Noctis.

Not going to lie, it's super disappointing that the leaker who bashed the game turned out to be right after all.

I guess the only thing you can be happy with is that the second leaker said the game had good progress afterwards. Still...
