Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

FF7 is fine even though it was developmentaly incomplete it didnt feel like it there really aint any glaring holes in it while XV has tons in story and world.

I dunno. All I know is, they should all be burned at the stake for releasing such unfinished garbage!

(this is what you all sound like, BTW, people who constantly whine about everything on the internet)

I get the sense that, even after all the patches and DLC are released, some people are still gonna maintain their stance and still not be happy.

It's gotten beyond constructive critcism to just being a negative sour puss out of habit.

Can't please everyone I suppose. It's gotten passed the stage of feeling annoyance towards these people to just pitying them.

"Slip into the designer cargo pants of Noctis Lucis"

LOL

Oh my xD

Seriously I do wonder how much his pants cost..

Their name for Ardyn is A++. XD

The original Japanese version didn't actually let you fight Diamond Weapon, which probably would have felt incomplete if they hadn't done more work on the game before releasing it in the west. I think I read something about the devs wanting to include optional Vincent and Yuffie segments in the ending but not being able to do that, and the ending itself is pretty weird regardless given how ambiguous it is about the survival of humanity. And nothing about the Huge Materia made any sense.

(I won't even bother with downright broken gameplay mechanics, like Magic Defense having literally no effect on anything.)

In general, though, VII is a game that's carried by its cast, not its plot.

¥91,800 (~$814.88).

Self-Photography Function
Allows players to freely take photographs at any time other than during battles.

Couldn´t you already do that before this patch?

We weren't able to take photos outside of battle freely, no.

During battle Prompto had a skill that enabled him to take a photo manually though.

How... in the name of Providence... can anyone cosplay as Glauca? That's like trying to cosplay as Jubileus, or Yaldabaoth.

Yeah. Yuffie and Vincent were originally part of the core story, but were almost cut, then delegated to being optional. The CGI team wanted to create CGi segments which would feature them for the ending if the player had recruited them, but there wasn't enough space on the disc so the concept needed to be scrapped.

I'm wondering if they'll make Yuffie and Vincent compulsary in the Remake version or not...

Though PS4's (don't know about Xbox) can simply take screenshots easily. Though if the update gives us the ability to actually control the camera, free form, that would be useful.

Yeah, that's what I'd heard, but I didn't mention it because I didn't have a link to support it.

If the two of them aren't mandatory in the remake, I'll eat my figurative hat. XD;

Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary, pages 8-13 (Yuffie and Vincent almost cut)
Final Fantasy VII: Book of Deconstructions - The Complete, page 215 (optional cutscenes considered but scrapped)
There's the sources! Oh, if you want similar little obscure titbits, you should check out the VII wikipedia article. It's recently got an extensive rewrite from several editors (me among them), and it's looking like a nice bit of alright.

jesus christ

i want to play this game again SE, don't tease me like that

I want to explore it.

I think its just a coincidence.

Oooh interesting. Let's see where this goes.

I wonder how the self shooting function will work? It'd be funny if you control where Prompto aims the camera in one moment, only to get mauled by a Sabertusk the next xD

I may be wrong, but that background image was there previously when the other updates were posted.

Carnival trailer coming tomorrow.
