I don't think the world has enough towns and settlements.

Other than Lestallum and some petrol stations and pit stops, what else is there?

It's a big world, but devoid of human life.

Still, I highly doubt they will add in more towns and settlements. What would be the point and how would they even improve the story?

i don't think it needs more towns and settlements, i would be happy with npcs doing their own activities outside of the world and more wildlife.

i would like to be closer to this:

Thinking about it logically now, it probably isn't needed only because the games towns and villages were technically destroyed in the war 30 years prior. Keycatrich was a town around the dungeon, you can see all of the ruins there.

What needs towns more than anything is Niflheim. It's not war town and destroyed like Lucis already is, and you can see many of the towns from the Train in the game

Due to work, I haven't been following this thread for the last 2 days. Any new developments in regards to Royal Editions leaks and other FFXV news?

I just want the ability to fix up the regalia at other gas stations. I get why Cindy's the only one who can do it seeing as it's a custom job but it's so annoying to have to return to Hammerhead when the type-d gets banged up when I'm right next to another gas station.

I know its been said before but Dawn's scene with Regis holding Noct and crying would make literally one of the greatest cold openings in a game ever.

It's just so well directed and the context wouldn't make any sense until you get near the end of the game. Making it a part of Chapter 0 would do that part of the game wonders.

ACTUALLY, it would make the Ifrit scene better, because the fight with Ifrit takes place in the same location. Going from a drab, rainy scene with emotion to literally hell on earth would make it even better lol.

I don't think the Dawn scene would be a good intro either to be honest.

An intro needs to either grip someone the moment the game beings, or generate curiosity so that they player keeps playing.

Dawn scene can be for, maybe a flashback scene when Noctis remembers something about Regis, or something like that, but definitely not as an intro.

Well that's what I'm getting at. The fact that Regis is holding his son crying is part of the mystery. A new player wouldn't know what any of that meant. Plus the Lucii would make it even more interesting. Tbh, just loke the trailer did years ago, that scene hooked me into wanting to know more about the games lore and story.

Edit: I understand if it doesn't for others, it just hit all the highs for me.

I'm down with including the Dawn scene in Chapter 0, but I feel like it would make more sense after the Ifrit scene. It's a lot more natural to go from future -> past -> present than to go from past -> future -> present.

There's also something really appealing about going from old Noct fighting basically-Satan to the revelation of child Noct's unfortunate fate to teenaged Noct being completely oblivious to his destiny.

Instead of having Dawn in Chapter 0 I would put it as an intro before the main menu appears.
It will have a similar effect as To Zanarkand in FFX.

But they have to remake it because in it Regis is already old when he should be much younger.

Hi,

New here, first post. I've been lurking for a while now and thought I'd join in on the banter.

I have one question, since you can now take the boat to Altissia, do you think now Altissia will be visible from the world map menu? Meaning they don't split it off the map anymore?
hi welcome ;)

i don't think we have confirmation on that, i heard they updated the map on the last patch to show the ocean area you can explore in the boat, but i don't know if altissia will be displayed

I remember at the begining last year i was always looking forward for an update that solve some visuals problems. Like the ashed ground near the volcano being a flat texture, making a better transition from ground to road (the textures overlap) and making the things don't look like a potato when you fly or looking through some landscapes ( the one at the begining of chapter 12 is horrible).

This though dissapeared of my head, but now with the Windows Edition i'm curious if this will be fixed in PC (and hopefully consoles).

They showed the boat sailing out of Altissia in the Windows Edition panel that was embedded a few pages back. ;)
