i want to believe...
The producer mentioned recently they'll consider doing female characters dlc if there's clear demand:
http://m.ign.com/articles/2016/10/3...nix-will-consider-adding-female-heroes-as-dlc
Unless Luna ends up unlikable or the DLCs bomb I think they'd not want to pass on further opportunity to recoup the cost
Ok I was on the fence about this game, but I decided to give this game a chance after those impressions especially the part about the ND influence.
Verendus did talk about something that worries me though. I've seen quite a bit about the game and not a single area or set piece evoked the sense of fantasy I love so much about final fantasy.
It's one of the reasons why I enjoyed so much XIII despite all it's flaws. I've yet to see a fantastic area like that futuristic garden in this. Everything looks like a slightly different version of a real world and that doesn't inspire me with much confidence.
Having said that and even though I have zero empathy towards Noctis and his generic look a like companions I will play this and judge on my own.

A question about the spoilered part + the bolded: can you comment on any end-game content? 7 is my favorite too, and part of that includes all of the things you can do once the game "opens up" near the end.
Even as much as I dislike 13, there were some time wasting things to do once that game opened up as well. Does 15 get so narrow / narrative focussed near the end as to eliminate this stuff? Anything specific you can mention with regards to traveling around and doing content that isn't story driven?

I have no idea what language I'm going to use as the dub for this game. On one hand Gladio's Japanese voice fits his character much better than hus English voice. On the other hand, Ardyn in English just sounds too damn good, though his Japanese voice is great as well.

Thanks for the detailed impressions Verendus! XD
AMEN TO THAT BROTHA!! "True" open world games like Skyrim and Fallout bore the crap out of me.

Wait is this supporting Neptunia or are you mocking it?
What spot.

I don't believe a single word of that. They are saying that to shut people up until they forget about playable women. From their comments about how there can't be a playable female because people are hating on sexy females in games, to Tabata's butchery of Aya Brea in PE3...
No way. Season Pass 2 will feature more playable men. I'm pretty sure of that.
And I say that as a native French speaker. The original interview doesn't say they might do it. It says that there's a demand for it, so they'll look into it...and I still don't believe it.

Thanks for the detailed impressions Verendus
Can you say anything about the open world nature of the first part vs the second part? We all know it gets linear but to which extent? Literally corridors like FFXIII or more like old Zelda/Darksiders games with an HUB and dungeons/large areas connected to it through corridors? I really don't get it yet lol

Wow, reading Verendus impression of the game made me more hyped for the game than I already was. I, for one, like more character interaction than long cutscenes in the games I play, so reading that there is a lot of it makes me SUPER excited for the game!!!
29th can't come soon enough!!

I actually thoroughly enjoyed the ReBirth series (as a barometer, I think the original Neptunia is one of the stinkiest dumpster fires ever put out by Compile Heart and that's saying something) and it's interesting watching a bottom-of-the-barrel developer evolve into making something that's both passable and actually... charming?
More than anything though I appreciate that everything in the games they make, incl. Fairy Fencer F, is skippable, from animations to dialogues, to cutscenes, to results screens. A turn-based franchise (excluding the action games) that respects my ever-dwindling free time.
As for the statement itself, only half joking. Obviously it's not going to be in the same league as P5/Berseria but it's JRPG fast food.
Tales is also JRPG fast food

On this "RPZAASPG" idea, could anyone attempt to compare to FF Type-0? Ignoring the technical limitations and half-baked overworld regions, every battle/mission was fundamentally a ludicrous set piece through a particular zone. The combat type was entirely experimental at the time but it's pretty easy to draw a line from there to XV. Extensive use of cutscenes, roaming dialogue and some "holy shit" moments, where the formula here seems somewhat similar? Lousy writing and voice acting, too!
The underwhelming presentation because of platform limitations squandered what was a lot of potential in that game and I can only imagine how it might have turned out as a console game with an overblown budget.

thanks a lot Verendus for making my decision to play in Japanese dub
from your impression I am totally sure the story wont be another MGSV ,which is my biggest concern before.
really want more info on late game magic actually, the concept of combining fire ice and electricity sounds so much like dota2's invoker. was hoping somewhere in the late game you can invoke 2/3 part fire and 1/3 part lightning to summon a meteor (HA! exort exort wex) or 2/3 part lightning and 1/3 part ice to summon a tornado, or something similar

not an invoker player haha
At least Tales of Berseria seems like better than fast food?
You could probably mix up footage from every Tales game starting from Xillia and people not into the franchise would be fooled into thinking it's the same game. Everything from combat/settings/cities/characters.
I'm hype for Berseria

Dragon Quest doesn't come out every two years though. Fast food needs to be fast.

More like I feel I mixed up images, towns, and characters from the DQ games, people will probably think it's from the same game.
Imagine World of Final Fantasy but replace it with DQ, it'll be hard to distinguish which town and area is from what DQ.

Thanks so much Verendus.
Just one question, I asked already yesterday. So, is the continent of Lucis indeed the only open-world part of the game world?
If you read his detailed impressions, he says that the second half is a whole new 'area' which isn't open world and more linear. So I think, yes.
