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

Did you like Vanille?

I usually hate those characters (suppose Rikku was aight) but have fallen for Prompto

There's a difference between being hyperactive like Yuffie and Rikku, and being Vanille.


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.

Yep. Most of FF7 was
cloud's memories being overwritten to a certain degree, so how he acts generally is false most of the time, until he slowly comes out of it near the end of the second disc, after Tifa helps repair his mind in the lifestream.

I don't blame him for being depressed in AC, after all that.

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

Sadly, I'm sure they'll remove the scene with him dressed up as a sailor and standing on two feet. That will be one of the first victims of "it doesn't fit with the new art style".

Indeed!!! What his playstyle will be like in an ARPG batte system also has me literally hyped to no end :)

And the whole village with the remastered music, and of course his father's reveal <3 ... Nomura better to it all justice. It works perfectly in my head atm hahaha!

Jesus, that scene will be BRUTAL in the remake. It already is on the original. Tears will be shed....

Indeed!! I start crying in VII from the scene where Aerith's 'mum' talks about how she found her. So I'm gonna be a wreck from that point onwards...

That's going to be the problem with this remake lol

I think before it I'm gonna try to go in with as open mind a possible! I'm usually able to do that well. But yeah boy is VII gonna be different voiced & remade with a brand new script than what it was back then.

True, although on the surface they seem to be of the same ilk, Vanille is most definitely different from the other two.

Is it just me or are the graphics in each new build worse than the last? I dread to think what is going to be released in November.

]It doesn't take long for Noctis to get super angsty. One scene with Cor in a royal tomb sees him chuck a real tantrum: "What was my father thinking! What good am I! What did he expect me to do! I'm no king! etc. Eye-rolling stuff, couldn't dislike it more.

[version.

This is basically my concern with most JRPGs nowadays. I know I've grown since I started playing them, but I just cannot put up with this sort of juvenile bullshit anymore.

Thanks for the impressions.

To be fair, that's a normal human reaction when your father is dead and your country is overrun and you hear about it via newspaper.

Well, they have to take it from somewhere to make the performance as smooth as possible.
The people hoping the game will look at least a bit better at release in November are going to have a rude awakening when "optimization" actually meant dialing the graphics back some more. ;)

That made me chuckle. I guess you're right, I hadn't considered the context (To be honest, I have no idea what the premise of the story is, other than the kid is a prince and they're on the run)

Everybody, watch this clip of an interview with Vanille's VA about the squeaks and moans she had to do, haha:

Vanille is awesome.

Her, Sazh and Fang are by far the best characters in FFXIII.

What a great game <3

I've needed to come to terms with the fact that FF games just aren't made for me anymore.

I adore VI and IV, warts and all. VII is okay, but it's where the wheels started to fall off for me. And after attempting to play VIII, I bailed on the series until XIII. I played through that when I was home sick for a few days with the flu, and I preferred the flu.

I'm not saying they're bad games or that the characters are shit, or anything. They just do nothing for me personally anymore. I need to remind myself of this every time I see some of the cooler looking parts of a new FF game, or contract hype fever in OT threads.

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

That's certainly an interesting speculation though we had seen instances of gameplay over time in fields and such. But if we go with the World of the Versus Epic being multiple games then this could have been possible as the project evolved. Actually, this sounds similar to the currently unconfirmed speculation that FF7R will have Midgard be the entire first game.

Yeah, I still believe the first game will be entirely in midgar. However, they get the chance to fully enhanced the city with the other sectors and more backstory and character development for Avalanche.

That's my theory on the whole Stella and Insommia cuts. By next week we should be able to discuss it since people get to watch the movie digitally.
