FFXV

That's basically how I felt about it, too. It was a mess with some glaring issues, sure, and I couldn't recommend it to everyone, but when I play a 50+ hour JRPG, one of the most important things to me is the lasting emotional appeal. It nailed that aspect for me. Especially with that ending. The ending alone probably makes me remember the game as a whole in a more positive light.

Not their fault. Also, it's a JRPG. Comes with the territory unless there's a major abundance of lines and idle banter added which is also a matter of how much budge is going into the voice work.

>>377086893
It is their fault because that's how you establish the characters and they didn't do a good job. What few conversations there were weren't memorable or charming either, compare it to the first Xenoblade and how much camaraderie you felt.

I'd say the best moments were the handful of unique camping scenes which establish characters' fondness for Noctis because he seems like less of a brat. But even then that's only to Noctis. It's nowhere near as good as say, FFIX where you had skits showing all of the characters interacting with one another in all sorts of situations.

Also I don't think limited budget is an excuse, for this of all games.

>>377087310
I felt the same as you for the bulk of the game. It was only in the late chapters that I realized that I cared.

I think a lot of my attachment was solidified in each characters' darkest hour. Ignis getting hurt was upsetting not just because a character got hurt, but because of how he was portrayed for the entire roadtrip segment of the game. He prided himself on taking care of everyone and suddenly he had to be taken care of and I couldn't help but feel for him when I saw him stumble around and slam his fist on the ground in frustration. And when he steeled himself and followed Noct anyway, I couldn't help but root for him.
Prompto's major reveal was pretty lame in presentation, but it made me think of all of his anxieties he'd shown all through the game and how I'd dismissed them as normal 20-year-old insecurity. It made the entire train chase segment absolutely horrifying, and and that little spark of empathy was all it really took to form an attachment.

Gladio never got a true darkest hour moment and I guess that's kind of why I don't care for him as much as the others.

Prompto, idk if you also got the motel overnight scene where he confides in Noctis some of his insecurities.

I feel the same about Gladio, though I still liked the character. Idk anything about his DLC but hopefully screen time will help

Gladdy's darkest hour was his DLC. And even still he didn't fall the way Prompto and Ignis did. We have yet to see Prompto between the time of the train fall and to his rescue, but knowing his Brotherhood back story packs more pf a punch of what could come.

Gladio just has 0 moments of true helplessness or being in a dire situation. Ravus punched him and I guess that sucked. But he never hit rock bottom and had to climb his way up.

>>377088763
I played through Gladio's DLC and it definitely didn't give me the vibes of a darkest hour. More like an exercise in recklessness and video game plot armor. I was actually pretty annoyed that with his King relying on him he'd go off and do some challenge with a 99.99% death rate Because I Gotta.

If Final Fantasy 15 had a complete story it could've actually been better than Persona 5 (I don't mean the verusus stuff just actually included all the stuff that was in the ultimania/movie and had more screen time with side characters). The story and world for this game was actually quite good but in the final product it was a poorly told disjointed mess.

Exactly. I think he admitted to being scared like once otherwise it was "derp derp lets smash things with pillars despite never doing it in game". And before it was for Noct's safety, it would not be that hard for him to shout a warning and make it a link strike.

I think Aranea actually sits on Noctis' back for one of hers so accidentally getting smacked if you fail wouldn't be out of the question for more banter.

>>377088027
The game is ok at best.

It had so much potential but now it's just a glued together mess.

Too much shit happening off screen. Too less to explore. When you are on the train journey it is almost like they slap you in the face with: "Look what this game could have been, look at what you could have explored".

The little open world bit they have now is even shit

I disagree but agree on some points. However, my opinion is influenced by Kingsglaive and Brotherhood so without them, I'm sure how I feel would have been less enthusiastic.

Namely the off screen bit. The focus is on Noctis first and foremost> Ignis> Gladio> and Prompto last only because of how reliant his character is on Brotherhood. We see Ravus at max 4-5 times and then no Ravus you are the daemons. Ardyn's appearance was just right. Luna was literally who tier by Leviathan and Iris got thrice as much screen time and development in the span of 1 segment.

The game itself is above "ok" but the cut content is what drags it through the mud.

If I'm looking forward to anything about the remake, it's seeing the FF7 cast get even half of the attention to animation detail that the FF15 boys got. Camping/hotel scenes, link strikes, and even just watching the characters move around in battle were a treat to watch and brought them to life.
I just really hope that they learned their lesson on potion spam and implement some way to limit healing.

>>377085214

The camp scene was nice, rest of the game was garbage.

Even then that scene was ruined by big bang of loud music for the following credits scene. They just can't get anything right.

Why were the Duscae scenes scrapped? I didn't get a chance to play so I missed Prompto sticking his fingers up Gladio's behind and tent wrestling.

I don't understand how you could come to that conclusion. The rest of the team didn't grow at all, and everything thrown out by the rest of the team always reminded me of The Room.

>"Oh. Ok. We still like you anyways."

Both equally out of the blue, and both never mentioned again.

It's severely downplayed because of Prompto being insecure all the time and wanting to not be a burden.

Assuming you have a very close best friend, imagine if they told you they were- I dunno, Jewish. Would you think of them differently? I know it's not the same thing, but my only other negative thing /v/ actively likes to hate are gays, streamers and SJWs.

Again, it's all too heavily reliant on the side content for impact. And cut content for that matter. The intent seems like it wants you to go back to the top and try and find evidence, but without everything neatly in 1 place it's just lost on the player.

There's also Episode Prompt.exe so who knows where they'll take it.

>>377086359
>The ending alone probably makes me remember the game as a whole in a more positive light
Yeah. There was nothing quite like watching Noct and Luna look at a pictures Cidney's tits. At least the game ended with a chuckle.

>>377091046
>"Noct, I'm a test-tube baby!"
>"Oh. Ok. We still like you anyways."

I'd rather have that than some melodramatic drawn out bullshit. Plus when you see Prompto again in the time skip he doesn't have his barcode hidden anymore like he did in the past.

>>377091495
I definitely agree that it should have been more relevant going forward, and that the reveal was super weak overall, but I don't think it was a total waste. It gives some more context on why Prompto is so anxious about his role in the group beyond being a normal young adult unsure of his abilities. It made the train chase scene much better for me upon reflection because Prompto had a real reason deep down to fear Noct turning on him or trying to kill him. Without that reason, even someone like Prompto would have to find it odd that his best friend would ever attack him.

>>377091647
>Again, it's all too heavily reliant on the side content for impact.
Then it shouldn't be shoe-horned into the main story.
>And cut content for that matter
Definitely not an excuse.
>The intent seems like it wants you to go back to the top and try and find evidence, but without everything neatly in 1 place it's just lost on the player.
In order for the player to bother with that, one would have to want to keep playing the game. I platinumed NieR (the original), as well as maxing out my character level because I enjoyed the game so much. I naturally wanted to do all the quests. I naturally wanted to catch all the fish. I naturally wanted to level up all the weapons. I naturally wanted to harvest a Lunar Tear.

Meanwhile, I literally deleted FFXV off my hard drive, despite purchasing the Season Pass. It was a bad investment, and I wasn't going to fall into an Escalation of Commitment / Sunk Cost Fallacy.

Of all the unnecessary things. Luna will always be a big sister type to me. I get you can be in love with someone and not act like you're straight out of Greek poetry. But they were written clearly with platonic intent since every single romantic advance or question thrown at Noctis was dodged and half answered. He wants to be seen as cool and cold, but his most earnest moments were of him as a child.

I got the vibe he was gay. At first, I thought he was just feeling like he wasn't all that into Luna, but was obligated because of his role. But the dude wasn't even interested in fucking around with that other chick that was throwing herself at him, despite one of his team mates making Noct give her flowers.

That was when I suspected he was gay. When he turned into a little bitch for weeks on end after she died (but got over his dad in under 10 minutes), I KNEW he was gay.

>>377085214
This is the first time in months I've seen someone praise FFXIV other than me.

What got me emotionally was Ignis losing his sight and still wanting to be with the boys despite his vision. This also means he can't see the ingredients in the food he's inspecting and has a harder time cooking. It semi-destroyed his love for cooking.

>>377091943

I'll take that Episode Prompto and Ignis off your hands if you don't mind.

I'm not making excuses for the game, in the case that's what it looks like I'm doing. I'm just trying to give some clarity to the hate. I am not saying the game should have done the things it did either.

>>377093059
A piece of paper with a barcode that you find right next to the sword, or a corpse that they can pick up in a cut scene and have scanned.

It added needless complexity for what should be considered a pretty stupid and simple problem (and one that didn't crop up before or after that area, thus inserting it simply to make Prompto have a piece of useless backstory inserted in a fashion that can only be described as a non-sequitur).

True. Excited for ep prompto and iggy, especially iggy.

Actually, not only is Hajime Tabata the only person in company history to release an unfinished FF, but made Nomura, Ferrari and others I won't mention hate him for assuring the story will "stay absolutely untouched, I respect your vision fully" -- lying, and forcing key team
member to cut entire areas, sequences, and gameplay that took over a year to make, all cut at the last second. The truth is XV (which was
still Versus at heart) was killed by Tabata
after the final delay at the huge FFXV unveiling, because he could not deal with the amount of story help he needed to fit the scenes together
to make the story work without the guidance of Nomura, myself, and someone else. He KILLED THE GAME OUT OF SPITE. And now he is quietly facing the consequences, being only allowed to "fix FFXV, no matter how
long it takes" with Type-1 CANCELED, and being removed from ANY FURTHER FF games. You do not believe this, but he is hated by some of the highest people in the whole company because of what he did to Versus at
the last minute OUT OF SPITE and WORRY OF FAILING. SOON, he WILL be exposed, and everyone WILL CHANGE THEIR TUNE. (This i already known in Square. Idiots who praise Tabata are only failing for press statements
trying spin a disaster in a positive light.) Don't worry, when it is safe to speak without reprisal, I, along with other HUGE names, will all
launch in synchronicity, and it will be the biggest scandal since Kojima. Possibly bigger.
You think Stella was the only important
character cut? HAHA. FINALLY, AT LEAST, YOU ALL WILL HAVE YOUR MINDS
BLOWN. SHE WAS NOTHING compared to what was cut by him, and while they
were FINISHED, VOICED RECORDED, ANIMATED, AND 100% DONE, EVEN.

>>377096957
And to answer once and for all, do you know why "Omen" looks so chopped up and weird? It was many different crucial story scenes all cut together to look like one movie, especially when Versatile activates the Crystal
Jammer and cuts Noctis off from his power when he attempts to invade a very important Magitek research facility to save a character you DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. There is so much you will learn soon.

I don't get how people say Luna is literally who but then go off worshipping Zelda.

>>377097423
Sorry. I wish there was a way to screen posts that had multiple words separately. I would totally just filter every post with the words "better/best" "JRPG" "ever/all time," in every XV thread, and I would never have to see him again.

>>377097423
>>377097353
He's slowly working his way down the thread. When he gets to the bottom, the thread is dead.

>>377091046
The entire point was that they were being nonchalant about his origin, in that they don't care where he's from because he is one of them. It's just like in his brotherhood episode where Prompto lost weight just because he thought Noctis wouldn't accept him if he was some fatso, but when he introduced himself to Noctis then Noctis said "don't I already know you?" and acted nonchalant about it.

I think the totally missed the point of that scene, there is no reason why they need to bring it up any more because the point of how they reacted nonchalantly about it like it didn't matter to them was all that was needed to be said regarding it. And afterwards Prompto has peace of mind, you see him act more matured and he isn't clumsy anymore either. All of them go through their individual changes and growth by the end of the game, that couldn't be more apparent.

>>377093315
Prompto's backstory was actually subtle hinted throughout the game, and even before the game was out. Like him always wearing a wrist on his right arm even as a kid.

His affinity towards technology and electronics, him being the one always questioning things about daemons and MTs to the group and planting small seeds. Like for example during chapter 7 when you're going through Steyliff he mentions a number of times "I wonder where all the people went" "hello anybody home" "woah where'd all these daemons come from", and that sort of thing, it planted small seeds in your mind to make the connection yourself that daemons could in fact be the people who were inside, Aranea also reveals during ch7 that Niflheim is making weapons from daemons, like the soldiers. And Daemons being humans isn't something you learn until around chapter 12 when it's revealed that humans were turning into Daemons because of the plague.

Then you also have the Naga daemon who specifically grabbed Prompto and asked about "her baby", which happened during chapter 5 also hinting at the whole daemons coming from humans thing.

Then there's also that Niflheim harpoon that you saw the MTs using againt Titan, which Prompto is scene using during chapter 9.

And that itself all comes back to Prompto's own sense of self worth and him feeling worthless, like nothing, just empty. Literally MT. The seeds were planted, you just had to connect the dots.

Them shrugging off Prompto supposed to be an MT and being from Niflheim was to show that to them that Prompto isn't worthless or empty, because he's Prompto who is their friend. They didn't need to dwell on it any further, and after that like in the time skip Prompto no longer hides his barcode anymore and his attitude in combat is fully sure of himself because he's no longer weighed down by those insecurities that plagued him earlier.

>>377098582
Half the things you said is head canon and irrelevant stuff
"Prompto using the same harpoon that magitek guys are using, it's a foreshadowing"~

No, it's not, just like the other half of your walls of text because you still cling to the idea that this game is good and has good storytelling

>>377098671
>Half the things you said is head canon and irrelevant stuff
What is headcanon? Every single thing I just said happens in the game.

>No, it's not,
Sorry but how the fuck is Prompto using the MT harpoons which only MTs are shown to ever use not a nod towards the fact that he was one?

Notice how you didn't even address any of hte actual points I made and zoned in on a single thing, then failed to make an argument and pretend it's somehow not good or has bad story telling?

That's some flawed logic considering we never had a single evidence of MT equipment being exclusive for MT troops's use and the fact that noctis can easily hijack the turrets strengthens it.

>with the guy who claims that XV is the best game in this universe constantly

no, thank you.

>>377099079
You can tell he's writing a fucking huge response. Please don't fall for the bait. Maybe he'll go away.

>>377099079
The turrets are not part of MT arsenal, they are stationary weapons. The Harpoons are specifically only used by MTs and are glowing in red showing that they are making use of Magitek too, the turrets do not as they are simply just regular turrents anyone can use. Noctis is never scene using the Harpoon on his own either, he only jumps on it because Prompto is controlling it and then he jumps off it. To date only Prompto and MTs were shown using them, meaning yes we can because only MTs and Prompto who has MT codeprint use them.

And again you ignored everything else I pointed out just so you could focus on one minor thing I mentioned, it's like you yourself know you are wrong but you don't have the knowledge to actually back up anything you're saying.

When have I ever claimed XV was the best game in the universe? Every fucking thread you idiots not only ignore anything I actually say then you put words in my mouth and fail to make any actual logical arguments or anything that makes any actual sense, while crying because you can't deal with the points I call you out on.

There's not really a point in discussing this game
Despite the devs treating it as some sort of platform, it won't get better which is evident by all the updated and DLCs so far
It's time to just let it go.

>>377099729
Oh, the Dinner Scene. Sorry, I read it as "diner." Didn't remember a diner from the movie.

I think it might be possible if one were to try to selectively edit other camp scenes, although it would look bad, as the experience stuff pops up.

>>377099835
But it has been getting better as each update improves parts of the game, and once all the updates are done it will be a largely improved experience.

>>377099835
Indeed. But I do enjoy discussing what they did wrong and what they did right.

>>377099835
Watch him tell you that it's getting better with each DLC, even as he already argues that the game is literally perfect, not realizing that a perfect game can only be made equal or worse via expansions.

Whoops, he already tried it.

>>377099975
While you try to pretend the opposite, whoops you already tried it.

>>377099975

>>377100393
If you claim to know who XV-kun is just from spending time in these threads then the same works for the same people going doing the opposite.

It will be underwhelming. Of that, you can be sure.

>>377085214
I couldn't care less about the characters at the end.

>>377100767
Either the episode is going to be in a small contained field, sort of like episode Duscae was, or it's like episode Gladio and it's something you can only do in a few areas like picking up the pillars. I'm hoping for the snowmobile to be something like controlling chocobos in that it's freeform, and not only on a set path like the car is. Or they make it feel like how the planned offroad car does/the car in platinum demo are.

>>377100296
>I don't even know why he even keeps coming into XV threads if he doesn't like it.

There are people who had expectations for this game and were left disappointed, you know.

You know why? Because this game isn't really as good as you claim it to be and has many glaring flaws that you disregard as "shitposting" when they are pointed out.

>>377100927
I'm sure everyone cares about your lack of new IP.

>>377101004
If you were disappointed then why don't you leave it at that? Why do you keep coming to thread after thread for what is months now to waste time talking about a game you don't like instead of going to do something you do like instead?

Also you can stop acting when blatant shitposts people make like "durr they have no development/ durr they are like robot XD" are somehow valid and not the definition of close minded shitposts with no thought put into them. Then you get all pissy because people call you out on that shit and you act like you are being persecuted because you can't fathom why what you said was blatantly wrong.

>>377101150

>>377101342
>something you hate

There's your problem: you can't see difference between hate and legit criticism and issues people have with the game they wanted to enjoy and were looking forward to play for so long.

And the fact that you react so bitterly about it makes you look like some insecure kid.

Sorry but what have you said here that isn't something someone already knows and has known for months? Saying that the characters have no development or are robotic is neither legit criticism or accurate, it is both a blatant lie and a blatant shitpost. That you are defending such claims only highlights you as a defender of shitposts and those who want to shit on the game for reasons irrelevant to actual legit criticisms.

>>377101494
>He keeps saying its a bad argument when people tell him to go play it

He could at least be consistent. But one can not be consistent and actually defend this game worth a shit.

I wonder who he thinks he's fooling.

>>377101867
Sorry but if you think it's a good argument to tell me to go play it if I like it so much, then why I can't use that own reasoning against the people arguing against me to show you that that very thing you people have been saying to me in countless threads before that if they hate it so much then go do something they enjoy instead? But it's only OK when you do it right?

You see it's only OK to not discuss the game if you want to spout XV-kun.

Anyway about episode Prompto, I think whatever this thing is in the concept art is some kind of giant Magitek. I'm hoping Verstael is in the DLC and is controlling it somehow, seems weird to even cast Steve Blum as Verstael otherwise.

I keep leaving the thread for like 10 minutes at a time, and seeing a single response followed by an entire flood of responses responding to my one or two posts.

>>377102671
I think its better than 13, but 13 is literally my least favorite game ever. I would rather give up video games for good than play 13 again. If I had to choose between playing 15 again or giving up vidya forever, I'd play it again and be done with it in like 15-20 hours.

We didn't see proper button tapping until 2015 stuff but they left the holding mechanic in.

And the attack swings in the final game felt much improved compared to the previous demos too.

>>377104697
And I ask you again, what does holding the button down has to do with the attack animations you fag?
No matter how much they were improved after the Duscae and platinum, they're still gay as fuck. Not to mention all the other good attack animations that were cut out from both versions of Duscae

>>377104786
I don't know why it needs to be explained to you, if they were only holding down the attack button in the 2014 footage then that means they weren't doing manual individual attacks, regardless of what the animation was.

The opener, finisher, aerial attacks in the final game are all identical to the ones seen in the Versus and E3 2013 trailer, only the "middle combo" aka the "ravage" part of the combo was a newly added string that makes it looks like a single animation instead of separated animations in succession.

>>377104941
Why are you explaining to me things I already know?
Why you were replying to me in the first place when you know that my issue is not with the input method but the attack animations themselves?

Is it your duty to try to justify every single thing people have issues with, no matter if your argument is valid or not?

>30 something posters
>hundreds of posts

shit thread
dead game

>>377105114
I don't even know why you even have issue with them not having the initial 4 swing animations repeat while attacking just because they look different to the final swing animations during the middle combo part. It's such a non issue because the input isn't affected by it.

>>377105125
It's just FFXV-kun, he makes one post shitting on the game so he can reply to himself 10 times defending it.

>i-it's just xv-kun
Give it a rest already.

>>377105396
>It's such a non issue

For you, maybe.
For me it is, because they're completely out of place and feel different from all the other attacks Noctis does both mechanically and visually-wise, which is especially annoying considering they had much better assets already but just cut them out for no reason.

>>377105863
Thing is they didn't cut them, they just moved them to be either opener or finisher swings instead of also being mid combo swings. The mid combo swing is different because it's a more continuous thing and it was how they could do directional inputs more seamlessly.

>knowing the names of the characters means you're this cunt that you faggots are obsessed about

>>377106027

That's simply not true
There's a bunch of animations that were straight up cut and are not in the game

>0:51
None of the attacks in that combo strings are in the game
>0:55
That attack is not in the game either (the run-in attack from afar is similiar to it, but it is different).

>2:02 - attack with the spear that was in Duscae, not in the final game either.

And there are many more examples I'm too busy to point our atm

That greatsword swing at 0:51 is still in the game, as are the following swings which are dependent on your distance from the enemy during initial hit, so is the one at 0:56 is also one of the variations on the initial opener of broadswords, also is in ep duscae and the other demos too.

The spear attack at 2:02 again is an initial opener swing.

>>377106028
>>377103942
Pottery. Saged, as my post should be. Next up, there will be some fag who bothers to respond to this in a desperate attempt to keep the thread alive.

>>377106721
You know I'm not talking about broadsword, but the one-handed sword.

The spear attack is different. The one in the video was the directional attack with a spear when you push forward+attack.

>>377106721
Spear should be like https://youtu.be/OONy1sGyqpc?t=1m40s (start at 1:40)

Yet, for some reason, it winds up being a bunch of stabby attacks in the air. Sad.

>>377106920
The attack at 0:55 is still there though, and the four regular sword hits from 0:51 are a sidehid, upward hid, overhand hit and the similar swing that happens at 0:55 just shorter. The second and 3rd hit look like swings used during the mid combo section currently in the game by the way. The sideway hit I remember was in episode duscae but can't remember if that was in final game, either way that's only one hit so far.

>The one in the video was the directional attack with a spear when you push forward+attack
First of all you have absolutely no way of knowing this as directional inputs was never even a thing until episode duscae 2.0, second of all the animations for the lance attack was the same.

Should've ended at the camp scene imo, the throne scene just came out of nowhere and felt unnecessary

And here it is again, since you actually said it wasn't in the final game which is a blatant lie.

>>377107270
What does shield have to do with anything? It had unique attacks that are different from the ones on the video I posted. Not sure why you're trying to spin around something here, the one handed sword attacks were cut out and replaced with the current shitty ones, period.

As for the spear, I told from the start that this attack was in Duscae and is a directional attack that is absent from the main game and is different from the one on your previous webm, as Duscae had both of them.

Just stop, you try to justify something that has no worth justifying.

I didn't say anything about shield. I don't know if you even payed attention to the swings that happen in the game if you honestly think that the swing at 0:55 was gone when you can see it clear as day here >>377107270 here >>377107590 and again here >>377107783

The spear attack is clearly seen here >>377106721 as the same one from 2:02 in the video posted

The 4th hit from the 0:51 part of the first vid is just a shorter version of the swing from 0:55, and the 2nd is the same as webm related, and 3rd hit look the same as another swings used during mid combo part.

>>377107812
That is literally the same exact attack with the same exact swing and animation, you have to be blind to think otherwise.

>I didn't say anything about shield
Misread the "sidehid" you wrote.
Either way, once again - those attacks are different from the one I posted.
The run in attack in those webms was in those games as well, but the animation I refer to has no run-in part, only the spin and it was in the end of the combo here:
1:12 - 1:13 https://youtu.be/07TFk7g7Iqw

The spear attack are not the same once again, what are you trying to prove here?
Go to Episode duscae and equip spears for both Ravage and Crush - the one you post is the Crush attack that's also in Duscae, and the one I refer to is the directional attack forward during the Ravage part - here in webm, right after the warp-strike

Who's blind here?

>>377108373
I wonder why they removed the weapon abilites that you can do with a button press, i liked them. Overall Duscae kinda felt like they had a goal and weren't just there yet

>>377108560
They dumbed down many things from previous versions of the game overal.

In the final game you also can't use more than one warp with magic equipped in a row without including an air-step in between.

I imagine it's because they implemented warping outside of battles tho.

>>377108706
I played the Plat demo a while ago with boost mode on PS4 pro, it's nice to see it run at a better framerate especially the parts with small noctis.
I also wish they kept the warp point regen speed of plat and combine it with the staminda system of the final game. But now it always fills instantly so i don't know why the warp point drains staminda at all

>>377108069
Also
>and the 2nd is the same as webm related

Given the fact that they look the same to you makes me understand why this seems a non-issue to you.

>>377108991
Same, also the Duscae on PRO runs pretty good until shit starts happening on the screen and it crashes, kek.

That spear attack at 1:12 is different to the one seen in the 2013 trailer, and that spear attack is used as a finisher.

The final game also uses more hitstop to make attacks more impactful compared to before where they just phase right through an enemy. Either way both of the spear attacks you've mentioned are still in the game so I don't even know why you are pretending otherwise.

>>377108560
They moved those to either be part of the directional inputs or the manual finishers for those weapon types. The only move from EPduscae not in the final game was drain blade.

>>377108706
But that's wrong, if you even unlocked airdance you'd know you can stay airborne, and from manual warps you can do multiple in succession as much as you want until you run out of MP. It's only out of battle that you can't do more than 1 warp in a row without having to hit the ground first.

>>377109045
You really have absolutely no clue what you are talking about and were already proven wrong about the other things which I posted webms for.

>>377109576
I know that not all of them are gone, some are also link strikes. I still miss the ability to just cancel everything and do that skill. It gave you a reason to use a weapon of the same class even if it's stats aren't as good, compared to now where mostly stats matter

>>377109576
>That spear attack at 1:12 is different to the one seen in the 2013 trailer, and that spear attack is used as a finisher.

They're the same and no, Finisher attack is completely different.

>The final game also uses more hitstop to make attacks more impactful compared to before where they just phase right through an enemy.
What does that have to do with anything?

>Either way both of the spear attacks you've mentioned are still in the game so I don't even know why you are pretending otherwise.

No, they're just not and I don't know what you're trying to prove here, like at all.

>But that's wrong, if you even unlocked airdance you'd know you can stay airborne, and from manual warps you can do multiple in succession as much as you want until you run out of MP.

Do you even read the posts before replying to them or again it's your holy duty to justify everything no matter if you address the point or not?

>>377109667
That really goes to you, pal. But go on, keep pretending.

Just imagine if they didn't take the A-team for Final Fantasy VII Remake from XV. This month we would've gotten XV-Part1 release date at E3.

The only thing Square cares about is money, and while there isn't anything wrong with caring about making a profit, it is when you are sacrificing an artistic vision. They knew VII-Remake Trilogy would get them more cash so they went that instead. Killing the original XV trilogy.

It makes me laugh that the people who liked the current XV would've have probably worshiped the original trilogy XV as the current one is just bullet points crammed into one-game.

I know not a lot of people are not going to read this given how XV threads are pretty much dead. But as a person who works for square I suggest you don't look forward to the future for FF.

>>377109849
>They're the same
That fact that you honestly think so just shows you have absolutely no clue about anything animation wise. The two spear attacks you are highlighting in the videos are different, one is a two handed swing up until it connects where he moves one hand while the other is a one handed lunge

>What does that have to do with anything?
Just in case you still try to pull the "durr they are different" just because the final game has more hitstop on it despite the same animation playhing.

>No, they're just not and I don't know what you're trying to prove here, like at all.
See>>377106721
The first one you mentioned with the timestap from 2:02 from the 2013 trailer is still in the game as shown in the webm here >>377106721

The second lance attack you're mentioning here >>377108373 at 1:12 is a different spear attack all together which is used as a finisher where he jumps up and does a one handed lance thrust, the other one from the 2013 footage at 2:02 is a two handed

Dude you were already proven wrong multiple times and yet you still can't deal with it.

Kingdom Hearts 3 will get a Trailer this E3 with a 2018 release date.

>>377110391
Okay. Take a deep breath and return to this post >>377108373 and re-read it.
The video I'm referring to with 1:12 - 1:13 was about the spinning sword attack move that is different from the webms you show becuase it's not the opening part of the combo and doesn't have the run-in animation (I'm honestly not sure if you misread that part or just trying to twist my words to somehow prove your point)

Second of all. The spear move I refer to in that same post in the webm is NOT in the final game, no matter how you try to spin it. If it's not clear, I refer to the move that is at the beginning of the webm right after the warp-strik and the last attack seen on that same webm and is the same attack from the E3 2013 trailer and not the one you posted on your webm. If you don't see that, you either blind, don't really care or just desperate to find some ways to justify the cut out stuff which didn't have to be cut out, simple as that.

>>377110763
>A new FFXV expansion will announced this E3.

Final Fantasy VII Remake part 1 will be called "Final Fantasy VII Remake: Disc 1".

There is literately nothing else Square is working on. There is not a single line of code written for XVI or some super-duper AAA JRPG is development. Unless you care about mobile games.

But the spinning sword move is an opening attack, I literally posted three webms where it is. It is functioning exactly the same way as it was shown in the 2014 footage where you can even do that one sword spin attack on its own because it's an opening attack.

>I refer to the move that is at the beginning of the webm right after the warp-strik
You mean this one handed forward thrust attack? Yes that is still in the game.

No go back to that post again and watch 1:11 - 1:13 where it's at the end of the ravage combo with the 1 handed sword. In Versus 2011 trailer this attack was in both forms - the run-in which you posted and as close range single attack without the run-in, which is in the TGS2014 trailer and that Armiger video.

>Yes that is still in the game.
No it's not, and the one you post in your webm is different from it
Ironically enough, the attack you mention can also see it in the Ebony build here https://youtu.be/Xfwx-46Ud9Q

>>377112408
The sword attack swing shown is done exactly the same in every time it's shown because it has the same exact swing arc, hit timing and swing speed with the same swing motion. You keep talking about "run in" when you don't seem to know how animation blending works with movement, I've literally watched them frame by frame and can see they are the same exact fucking attack swings.

That lance attack is literally the same fucking one you mentioned because it's doing the same forward thrust one handed motion that you said was happening in the webm you posted right after the warp strike which you also claimed was not in the game, it is the same exact attack, stop being so blind. Either you are confused because the animation is being shown from different sides or you really just don't know how animation works.

>>377112383
Yes, I am giving you reasons why it did so well. If the game released on its original release date with the bugs it would've gotten below 75 Meta, which would've drastically damaged the sales of the game. Similar to the new Mass Effect.

Dude you've literally ignored objective visual evidence posted in your face multiple times then pretended those don't exist despite them showing the exact same animations you are specifying in your timestamps. You also have been wrong multiple times about saying none of the animations you said are in the game when I already posted multiple webms proving you wrong about those swings of the sword or lance hits. For whatever fucking reason you can't deal with being wrong so you're going on about shit like "runin" which has nothing to do with the attack swing and is a blended animation from movement, despite the actual attack itself being identical as shown here >>377109576

You said that the first lance attack after the warpstrike here >>377108373 wasn't in the game, which I proved you wrong as it is clearly shown here >>377111874

Just deal with being wrong already. And for whatever reason you even think any of the things you're trying to say even matter, when the 2014 footage again had him just holding down attack the whole time, while all the webms of XV I've posted from the final game are my own webms where I was tapping attack.
