updates are free, this months update ads in the bestiary and chapter select, probably some other stuff. story/gameplay updates are coming later most likely in September or December since every 3 months is where major updates happen

fishing vr is a standalone fishing game, not actually part of xv

mobile thing has 1st episode out of 10 free, rest are $3 or so.

>>387975241
yes, once it's on pc

Nomura must cry everytime someone say Fantasy next to him

I'm 100% certain that monster's name is marlboro. Is this some mandela effect shit?

So what's the deal with Kings Knight? Is that dead?

So out of curiosity is there a second map or something because the word didn't seem that big when I played through some of it.

>main product it revolves around isn't even fleshed out enough to support it yet

>>387975896
There's large scrapped areas people have gotten into through OOB glitching. Basically an entire continent.

>>387975896
Lucis is the open world part while Altissia is a town and Niflheim is more of just a series of dungeon and set pieces more linear

They need to stop wasting resources on this fucking shit and move on already

the game would be better if the world wasn't such a chore to explore or travel through

>>387975987
Yes it is.

>>387976030
How about you move on already?

Alright so I will admit I have yet to play XV.
But why is everyone saying they want the Nomura version when there is literally 0 gameplay OF the Nomura version?

Why wont you let this fucking game die. FF15 failed. Go on to the next fucking game and stop fucking milking this dead shit.

>>387976007
I'm asking mainly out of curiosity, with them announcing a Switch project a lot of people keep saying the game is massive and too big for the system when the way I looked at it the visuals were the thing that would be too much not the scale, that and the engine seems pretty shitty.

>>387974417
just fucking let this piece of shit die already god

I enjoyed XV for what it was and had a good time with it and all that, but I have ZERO interest in returning to it. I don't give a single shit about them adding more story cutscenes that should have been in the game to being with, or their DLC or multiplayer or whatever. Just fucking move on so you can get XVI right the first time.

>>387976080
Shut the fuck up XV-kun you faggot.

>>387974417
No, you braindead fanfard.

Marlboro is a cigarette.
Stop with that reddit shit.

>>387976186
>Like...who is this for?
Japan of course.

XV was unironically the worst game I played last year

2013 announcement and combat trailers are good examples of the project when Nomura was in charge

>Game of War style mobile game

And the DLCs were conveniently seeded during the actual game so they fit.

>>387976084
Seems more engaging and fun.

Just like people would rather have the stephen king version of 'The Black Tower' instead of that fancy all around changed mess the new movie does.

>>387975515
Marlboro is the cigarette, anon.

>>387976360
>Seems more engaging and fun.
WHAT does though? There's no gameplay to get any of this from.

>>387975515
English translation for VII was wrong. It was always Morbol in every other country and they finally adapted the correct spelling.

>>387976080
>XV-kun is here

>>387976479
Story and setup. There was some gameplay in one of the trailers too.

>>387976098
I actually thought the game was too fucking big for it's own good. They made it as big as they did to accomodate for the road trip aspect, but it's all a fucking wasteland with absolutely nothing to explore. There's rundown shacks and barns here and there but that's it. There's no reason to get out the regalia, and god forbid you have to trek across all those large empty fields on foot. You know what the worse fucking part is? The Regalia is utterly useless in Duscae and Vesperpool. Shrubs and rocks are fucking always hindering you from just gettig from point A to point B easily.

>>387976084
2011 and 2013 trailers when Nomura was running the game featured gameplay with things like character switching, over the shoulder for shooting, piloting mechs, flow motion-style warp attacks, traditional mp based magic, and even a summon menu. What we got from Tabata's version is seemingly far inferior. I would argue that in many many ways the finished version of XV is inferior to Tabata's Episode Duscae demo and that he took far too much fan feedback when his dev team had a better idea of what they were doing

uh ok KH/XIII-kun KH3 is being made fun of >>387976505

Is there more JUST game than FFXV in the history of video games? Not memeing, legit question.

>>387976575
It's pretty clear Nomura didn't know what the fuck he was doing and the team that got it out the door had to make do with what they had.

At least unlike MGSV they get to touch it up after release and at least TRY to get it where it should be

>>387976726
Mass Effect Andromeda.

>>387976726
Lawbreakers and especially Blunderborn.

>>387976767
This is a hard comparison. While MGSV was completely missing the final 1/3rd of its story, it felt very complete from a gameplay and feature set perspective. XV has a beginning and end, its the middle that's fucked to shit. And it's gameplay and game design feel unfinished as fuck

>>387976767
Don't you mean Tabata?

>>387976767
>Tabata has 3 years to do anything he wants with an unlimited budget and team size
>Already has tons of work done for him like story, lore, even character animation rigging that's to this day unchanged from 2011 trailers
>he comes up with fucking nothing and the whole thing is an unfinished failure
embarrassing

>>387976767
>>387976970
It really appears that the Lucis region we got was made after Nomura got kicked. Altissia and Insomnia from the Ebony engine build(2013) looked really diferent from what we got

>>387976084
Because KH fags are retarded and can do nothing but spout lies. 2011 and 2013 showed two different "nomura versions" yet they act like they're exactly the same, then those nomura fanboys ignore all the stuff from the Nomura version still in the game.

>>387976360
Wrong, it was entirely auto weapons in 2011.

>>387976584
2013 showed no character switching, nothing even close to flowmotion anything, warp and airsteps in the final game work the same as in 2013, 2011 had no manual weapon switching like 2013 or the final game. The command menu in 2011 was never once shown being used in 2011, he used magic like 3 times and never once was a menu input done like the command menu would suggest, the command menu was just pasted on, and the entire HUD was changed by 2013 which no longer had summon on the menu

And they added a new MP based magic through the multip and according to the survey is also gonna be in the main game, magic was always done through a weapon in 2011 and 2013 which you do magic through weapons in the new MP too

>>387976289
Sure thing XIII/ KH fag

>>387977310
Bazztek/XV-Kun go to sleep.

>>387974417
>work on supplementing content that should've been in the release version of the game

>>387976726
FF13. KH1. KH2. The other FF13 and KH shitfests.

XV is the furthest from JUST FF could be

>>387974805
And now I'm hungry and horny.

>>387977310
In the 2013 trailer when Noctis warp strikes the ceiling of the building in Altisisa and drop kicks the MT, Nomura described it as working simular to a flow motion attack and that flow motion was made in DDD as a test for features that would be in XV

>>387976767
This, Nomura kept changing things on the fly and according to Tabata the FFXV chibi version was planned ever since 2013 when Nomura was still director

Remember the "world of a versus epic" thing? Yeah well FFXV pocket/chibi was gonna be part of that, thats the only reason it exists

>>387974805
>>387977510
Wish there was more Iris stuff. In my head canon it seems impossible to imagine that Noctis wouldn't have smashed that at least 2-3 times during the game

What a failure of a man. And the way he desperately tries to paint himself the savior of FF for making the most expensive and overproduced FF game of all time and then barely making any impact at all with the fanbase.

>>387977431
Good job ignoring facts

>>387977310
>wrong
Shut up nigger. Don't tell me what to like.

I hope KH3 ends up nothing like FFXV

>like an hour of finished cutscenes from Tabata-era trailers that aren't in the game
why. Why aren't they just in? I don't get it

>>387975296
>doesn't show item drops and rates
Gonna need another free update.

>>387977874
Open world came first.

>>387977531
>altissia
Not gameplay, any Altissia stuff from 2013 was CGI mocked up to look like gameplay, not real gameplay

Only the insomnia footage from 2013 was real gameplay from their prototype build.

All the warpstrikes/the way airstep function in the 2013 insomnia clips is how it does in the final game, and now the rogue sigil in the multiplayer lets you do airsteps with every weapon

>>387977874
>trailer with a nice cutscene of Noctis getting pissed at empire ships flying past hammerhead during chapter 1 ending
>in the real game Noct is just kind of grumpy during an in-game car drive past the same road
Just put in the cutscene. You finished it.

>>387977628
Fuck off KH/ XIII fag no one gives a shit about your autistic copy pasta

>>387978015
B-b-b-but the newspaper....!

>>387977827
Too bad then since KH3 won't be good then

>>387977590
>according to Tabata

Go to bed XV-kun.

>>387977874
But that's wrong. Only like 2 minutes of old CG weren't in

>>387974417
>Is /v/ excited!?

Look, man, I just want to know if they've patched in a story yet.

This game has some TPP tier problems in that department, but at least Square Enix still makes video games so there's a chance they can fix it.

>>387978185
>atleast Square Enix still makes video games

That's the fucking problem.

>>387977874
Because they were constantly rewriting the story and sequences. They literally showed off the iconic scene from Versus XIII between Yakuza Regis and Japanese Aldercapt in late 2014 for Jump Festa. And then only at Uncovered did we learn that that whole shit was cut and placed into Kingsglaive. XV is the worst fucking thing SE has ever worked on. I would've committed suicide if I had to work on this game.

>>387977892
There are already countless sites that show which items matter, and they are too few and far between.
It's not like these creatures are going to start dropping noteworthy equipment and weapons after the bestiary comes out.

>>387977930

From this interview it appears that both trailers are real-time gameplay

>>387974417
>people still throw money at this turd

What the actual fuck is wrong with people? Is everyone just a fucking cuck these days jfc

I wonder if XV-kun will ever leave /v/ and keep his autism to himself
Probably never, I guess

>>387977827
It's gonna be nothing like XV, but its gameplay might be closer to Osaka Team games (BBS, 3D, RE:CoM) than Tokyo Team games (KH1, CoM, KH2), which is NOT a good thing

>>387978240
You never know there might be a free update that adds that.

>>387978175
>t-that doesn't count

FFXV lite and FFXV PC were both in the leak from before the uncovered event which also leaked platinum demo

FFXV lite and FFXV PC were the only thing in the leak not shown at uncovered

both FFXV PC and FFXV lite aka pocket were revealed this week

>>387978280
He's been here for like 4 years, he probably won't leave until he or this website dies. Or his caretaker takes away his internet.

>>387978280
Isn't KH2FM team dead? I thought they got folded into BD2 and castrated by Tabata into only being allowed to make the planet's worst and most embarrassing arpgs. Osaka is better at this point, as sad as that is

>>387978068
The newspaper revelation shit was fucking awful. I remember Game Informer and IGN both expressing their disappointment and concerns when they saw it during an early build, along with the Magnetic Regalia. I'm paraphrasing but they expressed how it was incredibly lame. That, believe it or not, was the first sign for me that this game is going to be shit. I was right.

>>387978185
There is a story

>>387977310
Which one of these is the final game? I assume the bottom one.

>>387978237
The KG version of that scene was still used in the game

>>387978418
No there isn't. I got the platinum trophy, it's barely there and gets dumped on you towards the end of the game.

>>387978397
You know what gets me? Prompto, Gladio and Noctis just stand around doing nothing before Ignis comes back. Did NONE of them think to look at the news on their phones?

>>387978043
this is the definition of irony

>>387978317
Right, how many updates have we had so far, and how many of them added noteworthy drops?
To be clear, it would be great if they actually did something with the items that just rot in your inventory in a new patch, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

>>387978280
Osaka Team still exists? Didn't they turned the company upside down with that "Business Divisions" thing in 2013?

>>387978484
Bottom. Trust me, it's not as great as it looks. You hold down one button to do all of that.

>>387978509
No. They tried to fix Ravus' story, but the scene they added was god awful.

I'm not even interested in the story Tabata shit out, who cares if they ever finish it. Give me Versus story, you can keep your empty fanfic.

>>387978559
that anon didn't get the memo

>>387978484
Yes and it lasts about a whopping 5 minutes. There is nothing like that ever in the game again.

>>387978276
That is false as Ikumori showed alternate version of the Altissia "gameplay" in his CGI reel in 2015 thus confirming it was always CG, a target render using assets but was CG

Only insomnia stuff from 2013 was real gameplay

>>387974417
This game will never not piss me off, it is quite literally the definition of wasted potential and all the shitmonglers at SquareEnix need to get nuked, they overhyped the everliving fuck out of this game and then completely and utterly failed to even finish the game and gave us fucking the retarded half baked shit that was its finished shit, and then mobileshit and literally VR fishing.
Fuck SE, fuck them with a god damn rake.

I don't know what Ravus' story has to do with new noteworthy item drops that don't exist.

>>387978645
Sure thing XV-kun.

>>387978565
>Trust me, it's not as great as it looks.
It doesn't look great in the first place so I'll take your word for it.

LUNAFREYA WHEN?

I wonder if Square follows a bigger plan with this, because I can't wrap my head around it why they would still burn so much money on this turd.

Are they training their young developers with this? Do they work for free just to be able to be part of a prestige project? Are they supporting creative freedom for them? Does Square think sticking with it will be more beneficial to repair the brand? Is it all a ruse to keep Tabata contained so he doesn't touch and ruin any other projects?


Please someone explain it to me, because I'm just freaking flabbergasted at the continued support with nothing to show.

>>387978498
>>387978397
>Insomnia is literally like 5 miles MAX from Galdin
>All through the day there is fighting going on in Insomnia and all through the night there are fucking giant ass Diamond Weapons attacking the fuck out of everything while giant king statutes wreck up the place like a bomb has been dropped on the country
>none of this makes any noise at all that can be heard or any sights that can be seen from Galdin until the newspaper reports on it the next morning
In real life if my fucking neighbor 10 streets over sets off a fire cracker though nobody can sleep at night.

What a joke, just write that the fighting woke them up, but they couldn't drive back in time/get back into the city in time because of the blockade instead of making it the next morning

>>387978362
KH2FM and people who were on Versus combat team people did XVs combat, Tabata mentioned them by name in one of the ATRs.

>>387978276
Reading any old interview makes me want to cry. It was going to be so good. XV is an absolute turd.

>>387978843

what names did he drop

>>387978756
My bad, I was multitasking.

>>387978781
It's sad. The top one played like a grounded Kingdom Hearts.

>>387978806
And even if they wouldn't have heard it, people closer to it would have spread the word. That's another problem I have with the game, why does no one seem to care that they're under foreign occupation?

>>387978804
A big priority right now is making sure that the Luminous Engine is made suitable to ever be used again, and if it can be made into a stable state, train as many people on it as they can.

I'm sure XV-kun will jump in and autistically shout that Luminous is perfect, but the truth is that it was not finished upon XV's launch, and has only approached that window of completion early this year

>>387978484
Yes as its superior

>>387978362
KH2FM team (the Tokyo one) was the team that was busy with Versus all these years (this is why KH3 never came out and why Nomura got another team to make portable KH games while Tokyo team was busy; he was always saying "They won't develop KH3 until Versus is done", but I guess S-E did that director change for FFXV and made Nomura start KH3 development with Osaka team). I think they were still in XV development until its release, and then Nomura did comment about both teams being on KH3, but I'm honestly not sure - maybe it was in one of those interviews he made after E3.

I just fear that KH3 might become another unbalanced KH game like BBS and 3D.

>>387978804
There's no reliable insider that will leak SE's plans for you in this thread. Content yourself with speculation that you yourself may already have thought up.

>>387978485
Those were fucking added in a in a day one patch of the game and it was the worst, most absolutely retarded way they could have used it. At least when they were shown in the trailer back in Jump Festa 2014, we were still under the impression that we'll experience the invasion in some shape or form and that the old designs were being used. When it turned out it was all cut from the game and put into a movie, it only stung more when the shitty imitation footage from KG, along with Omen sporadically bombards you with random flashy visuals, as if you even know what's going on.

>>387978956
It's sad, if SE didn't insist on making their own engines, Versus would have came out. Crystal Tools engine literately fucked up Versus XIII and the Luminous Engine caused problems for XV.

>>387978898
>why does no one seem to care that they're under foreign occupation?
This. The entire game we're supposed to care that the empire took over Insomnia and grabbed the crystal, but not even one last single tiny fucking person in all of the kingdom gives the slightest fuck

>>387978872
I can relate anon....

I'm a poorfag who stop playing ff series since 8 or 9 because I can't even afford ps2 an up.
But what happen to ff15's story? I remembered years ago in a trailer they did show different protagonist or did they change his personality?

>>387978498
So you didn't pay attention, they were having reception problems which is why Cor couldn't get in contact with them, which they literally mentioned while pushing the car to hammerhead.

Only when they were in Leide nearby Cidney cos she was close did the reception work

So, did Nomura ever had a finished script for this game or was he making it up as he went along, like Kingdom Hearts?

>>387978957
>manning a boring, stationary turret and holding down the fire button is somehow superior to piloting the mech and shooting up the streets of Insomnia

What a downgrade.

>>387979092
Script was finished in like 2010. Too bad they scrapped everything to make Final Turd XV fanfic with generic boring empty characters and story.

It's like Tabata doesn't even understand the concept of video games

>>387979050
It's sad because at least in Tabata's Type-0, people cared and war was treated like war.

>>387979083
I did pay attention. Even if that did stop their internet connection, how come nobody made raised an alarm about giant monsters fighting in Insomnia or Imperial dropships?

Also, something something about communications being blocked and invasion.

>>387979213
I can't tell if you do this shit to bait people or not. It's a terrible cutscene.

>>387978240
I'd rather have it all in one place honesty, and even thought we know the items now, bestiarys in general sometimes have item drop checklists so it'll list items as ???? and filling those out yourself is kind of fun but it'd probably be pointless now unless they add something, but those new monster hunts or whatever added in newish mobs that had their own item drops with percentage drops as well not guaranteed so if something like that comes a long then it could be useful.

>>387978606
Fabula Nova Shittalis is inferior in every aspect over the superior current game

>>387974674
it would be fuckin cool to see Estinien and Ysayles story and stuff, or even the Stormblood story, as a standalone singleplayer FF experience

>>387978681
That's again CGI mocked up to look like gameplay and not actually gameplay

You can even see Ignis on the screen doesn't match up with Ignis on the ship because that is just faked

>>387979158
After Nomura wanted to make it a musical before being replaced, it doesn't surprise me.

>>387979092
Yes Kazushige Nojima had the Versus script alredy done by 2010.

The actual game released was written by some bitch called Saori

No it didn't and it doesn't look that much different gameplay wise to the final game

KH has attack on the command menu, versus never had attack as part of the menu nor was magic done through the menu despite it saying magic, so that command menu was just an overlay not actual

>>387979856
Gameplay is downright atrocious with stiff, tanky movement and stand in the open and fire while taking hits kinda gunplay. Story is fucking whatever, and you already know what happens in each of the Episodes. If you want to walk around a barren snowy area and look at Aranea, then I guess it's alright.

You poor naive fool

Adding shit to this game's campaign is fucking stupid.

People who have already played it have no desire to go back

People who haven't played it yet are benefited by holding off the purchase until a definitive version comes out

You can't update a single player game like it's an MMO. Doesn't fucking work like that.

The WORST part is, when they went back to change story bits and start work on the DLC, they didn't even fix the single most blatant example of cut content!

It's PAINFULLY obvious that when you get to the World of Darkness or whatever that you're supposed to pull a Final Fantasy 6 and travel around the world, discovering what everyone's up to and getting the gang back together, which would have been great! But no. Everyone's just beeing hanging around Thunderhead for a solid goddamn decade.

>>387982697
Wearing the same goddamn clothes too, for an entire decade. The game falls apart after Altissia, but it REALLY falls apart after Noctis enters the crystal.

It's even worse that we only meet Talcott. You don't see Iris, Aranea, Cor or even Cidney who's literately in Hammerhead too.

Mite be a good thing.

Obviously SE is unorganized is fuck and FF16 would take another decade to make. So hopefully is this shit teaches them a lesson to stick with one thing without making so many fucking changes.

Who fucking asked for this shit, honestly. They could've honestly made something new with Pocket Edition, like a game about Aranea or some other character. And it could've been on 3DS with ACTUAL CONTROLS, like Bravely. Hell, they could of just made a new Bravely game with the time and resource that went into recreating XV on mobile. Why they thought it was a good idea to retread and make the same game again on a shittier platform is completely beyond me.

Was it part of their plan to starve you of interesting shit like World of Ruin in the base game so that you'd pick up the season pass out of desperation? Worst fucking part is people are actually going to fork up cash for something they should have gotten in the main game.

Better have more fishing minigames. I want to go crabbing.

>>387986252
A game can be linear if it does it well. A game can be open world if it does it well.

FF13 does not do linearity well since so many hours are just advancing down hallways with the occasional sideroute until endgame, pretty much training you all game long (literally, in a story sense even) until you finally get three party members that you can switch up as you please to really get to the meat of the game.

FF15 does not do open world well because it falls into the trap of boring sidequests that advance little beyond EXP and item rewards, has little reason to be open world when it doesn't actually try to do anything truly unique with it or stand out in any way from the saturation of open world games on the market, and ultimately doesn't even come close to reaching its potential that it could've had by ultimately being dumbed down and derivative while floundering about with a clunky story that suddenly betrays the entire point of the game's design.

There is no cohesive direction right now about what Final Fantasy is, they may use each game to do new ideas but the sheer criticism FF15's been getting means FF14 is the only truly respectable Final Fantasy title in recent history (with World of Final Fantasy sort of on the spinoff sideline).

Because people were fed just enough of Nomura's version to be excited but not enough to realize it would've tasted like the same shit.

Yes it does you stupid nigger when that was what was advertised in the first place. They literally said fuck it to the SMT part because they wanted to make it a "Atlus", i.e. Persona, cross FE game instead because lol idols are cute desu.

They fucked up so bad that anyone who likes that piece of shit game is obviously brain dead and has shit taste in almost everything they might find interesting.

>>387992315
I meant the Idol Concept in TMS could have been it's own game, like a spinoff SMT series by Atlus without the hamfisted Fire Emblem nonsense. I would've liked to see a real SMT x FF game too, but I'm still glad I got to experience TMS. It was unique. I really enjoyed the combat.
