FFXV Hands-On Impressions

PSY・S;214808658 said:

After watching Kingsglaive I have a vague theory on Stella and the cut intro which Noctis is longer part of.. HUGE SPOILERS don't click on spoilers if you haven't seen the movie. Having the intro cut makes no sense to me but I can see the dilemma the Tabata faced if those "world of the versus epic" rumors were true. So major reshuffling had to be done plot and character wise.. They could've made the intro a linear affair and problem solved.. But idk if they wanted a fully explorable Insommia.. Either way who knows?

Late in the movie Luna gets Kidnapped and Nyx proceeds to tell Regis about the incoming sabotage and to deploy the glaive to rescue her. During that time frame is when Regis sends Noctis to Atlissia since he's aware of the upcoming betrayal and false peace treaty negotiations. Anyways, According to those rumors (no idea if true or not) one of the games focused on rescuing Stella I believe? So if Noctis stayed in Insommia he would be celebrating the upcoming wedding and peace treaty with Stella.. However he would be fighting his way to the throne room to reach Regis (by the e3 2013 trailer dialog you can tell what's going on) I guess Noctis would witness Regis death and Regis would tell him to go rescue Stella from the imperial army... Luna by the end of the movie is searching for Noctis and she's on the run with a ring to aid Noctis that Regis gave to her

Me and the good sis Cindi who posted on the last page will be fanboy/girlingly obsessively voting for him so expect Lightning finally dethroned from atop her #1 perch.

Prompto's my favorite too. :D (Though overall he doesn't seem to be very popular.)

Let's have some Prompto goodness:

*swoons*

I love prompto too! I think his personality is really funny, especially how he's always jokingly complaining and acting like a wuss.

Indeed!! His light sense of humour with hints of vulnerability is gonna make me love him!

Plus he used to be fat then got thin which I identify with

Adding to the prompto love with his nicest photo

Agreed. Prompto is so far my favorite one in the group. I usually dislike the "clown", goofy one of the party, and I honestly thought I would also dislike Prompto.

But the guy is just so charming. And he is incredibly badass when he needs to be.



EDIT: And I will say it again. When it comes to animation in video games, this game is almost untouchable. It's right there with Uncharted, in my opinion.
 
I liked Prompto before the anime episode but after I fell head over heels for him as a character. I hope that vulnerability that he shows in Brotherhood is present in the game.

Tbh He had my heart 9 years ago when they revealed him here...I knew I'd love him

Edit: Also that must've been our first glimpse at what became Altissa given the architecture in the background.

Same, I've always liked him. But now I just love him.

Some more Gamescom off-screen gameplay:

Seems like the image gets sharper when you don't move or when a message box shows up, but might be the camera not keeping track too.

This game feels no more "open world" than FFXII did. A series of large open locations that are connected at gates. Not a bad thing, I don't want this to be a single huge open playground like most "open world" games.

But this does feel very much like FFXII with a car to me.
 
I love Yuffie. I have no idea why I love the hyper "annoying" characters like Rikku/Yuffie/Selphie/Prompto. I just do. They have fun energy I guess.

Can't be all gloomy like cloud ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you know people have this perception of cloud being a badass but to me he's the most gloomiest of FF protags.. The remake is going to open people's eyes. Because back then many players projected their own voice into those polygon characters.

For the record cloud is my second fav FF protag.

Squall is the first am I right

Yuffie in FF7R!

I hope the game dialogue still changes depending on who is in your party. I need my comic relief thief.

But I think Cloud's personality is one of the best aspects of FF VII. The biggest game's twist is related to that so I accept that Cloud's gloominess =p

Cloud is not gloomy at all during the vast majority of FFVII. If anything he's pretty cheerful all things considered.

They better keep Yuffie calling Tifa "Boobs", or else I'll riot.

Really? I always felt it was the compilation that made him more gloomy. Thought he was optimistic and sarcastically witty in the game.

Let's see how he is handled in the remake. Voice Acting will change...everything

I hated Vanille.

She broke my tradition. Honestly, I don't like any characters in 13 except Sazh. When it looked like Sazh was going to kill Vanille I actually cheered.

Fair enough. I actually liked Vanille ultimately on reflection (hated her back when I first played XIII). Have grown to find her needing to be overly happy to hide a gloomy truth arc to be kinda endearing.
 
Whenever someone says Cloud was gloomy in VII i like to show this official artwork from FFVII

He looks full of joy, confidence and wit.

To me he comes across like that, not saying is a bad thing but Barret had to check him a few times to get it together.

All things considered I think Squall just don't give a fuck for the most part. So he's mostly detached from everyone. By the end of the game you can actually see the growth. I know KH doesn't count but you can see how he turned out.

yeah, the mako plays a large part.

I hope so! Vincent please!

That's my guy.

My party was always Cloud, Yuffie, and Red XIII. The perfect balance. You've got the serious one, the funny one, and the holy shit this guy is crazy one. It all works out in the end. If FFVIIR has four character parties I think adding Cid, the alcoholic, would be a good addition. Or maybe Tifa - I don't know!

Tifa is bae, I currently started disc 2.

Snowboard hype incoming.
 
My party was always Cloud, Red XIII & Barrett (maybe swapped for Tifa at times). I knew about Aerith when I played it for the first time so didn't bother having her in the party LOL

Red XIII is my must have in the party as he is a like a doggie...the only entity that deserves special treatment on this planet.

FFXV threads really deviate in the weirdest ways possible, we should really control ourselves, we still have two months of suffering lol

Red should be awesome in the remake, his arc is one of the best in the game.
