I think it's okay when you're just fighting a couple of enemies but when it's a small army, it's just a disaster. That's why I'm hoping that Wait mode makes that a little more tolerable.

Wait mode is actually really cool from what I've seen, yeah! To be honest, if it was expanded and polished so that an entire game could be developed around the concept of wait mode, it could be the next big thing for Final Fantasy and turn-based RPGs in general. The potential is insane, and even as a secondary mode in XV it delivers something that looks incredible.

Yeah, eat this Igns! >
Worst bro.

It might be worth considering that Verendus is a member of WrestlingGAF, a community where members roleplay and pretend to be professional wrestlers by "cutting promos." This could just be a WrestlingGAFfer taking it a little bit too far.

edit: I think I might be right. I just looked at the WrestlingGAF thread and Verendus is a hero to them.

His posts have always read like they're written by someone playing a character (that they themselves are far more enthralled with than anyone around them), so this makes all the sense in the world.

 

[aadiboy]

In retrospect, all of Verendus' rumors on new IP seemed very vague. He only seemed to make definitive statements on new games in established series, which would be fairly easy for any layman. If he had given specific information on a new IP, such as the title, or some other information that would have to be either true or false, I would be more likely to believe him.

And I don't believe the "spreading false info to leave people off his scent" excuse. For one thing, there are probably hundreds of people in the know who would be culpable if any real rumors of these games were sent out. How would any one be able to track him down specifically among all the rest of the people working on the game?

So it already happened.Got a nasty boss fight spoiler as a suggested video on YT.

Guys how do I reset my suggested videos thingy ? Deleting my YT history doesnt seem enough.

Yeah, I imagine I got the same suggested boss fight video. I'm not particularly bothered by that alone but I'm not liking the sign of things to come.

Mind explaining what boss that is in the spoiler thread? I've been trying to figure out if I saw it.

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Came in hoping for some vague indication as to whether the game had been worth the wait, instead I find something far more intriguing.

Also, is it just me or did da genius Kojima predict this thread as well? Don't we live in a post truth world? "No one is invalidated but no one is right" :l

Making stuff up for attention is okay as long as you're doing it specifically to mock others, I guess.

Turns out Kojima was too vague to be called a genius. His crazy would eventually make sense.

 

[Mister Megative]

There's a stream up with English VO. Looks like the finished game, not the demo.

 

[meerak]

are there any gifs or spoiler free gameplay of Wait Mode? It's about the only thing I want to see before playing the game...

 

[SaintGalgo]

Isn't Wait mode literally just a glorified pause button? Doesn't seem that revolutionary to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

 

[Toth]

So any GAFers get the game today.....XD

 

[Kenzodielocke]

We have one gaffer that has the game and he did not reported back yet.

Been out of the loop on this thread since Friday. Did anyone have any luck in NY?

So when someone provides proof to get verified, they just have to prove that they are in a position to know the information that they spread, right? But is the proof irrefutable, or is it just taken at face value? For example, if someone provides some sort of documentation that they work at X company, how do you know that they didn't just fake it? And unless the company they work for is directly involved with the game, how do you know they would even know the information? Is Verendus just a troll who got lucky?

No. Hes got a lot of posts, ranging back to 2013 at least.

He trolls a lot, is vague but he does know stuff.

The chat indicates it's the Judgment demo but that the player hacked himself into this area.

The judgment demo doesn't have English VO.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure that part out myself. And why the game has FFVIII music running outside of the car.

But a lot of the stuff he "knew" seemed to be things that anyone could predict.

Apparently y
ou can play music from your phone.

The people in chat claiming it's the demo are trolling. It's not.

I'm not sure what documentation mods request, but I think there have been times when insiders have been verified as "seeming" to be insiders rather than outright confirmation

Verendus is A) a troll, B) he know stuff, C) he sometimes gets lucky. The problem with that is parsing out the truth.

 

[jb1234]

Yeah, I agree with you now, haha. That phone feature is super cool too.

 

[Primethius]

There's a difference between predicting a couple of things and being the guy that drops info about DQ, SFV, BB and so on.

And no, I don't consider those three easy predictions or stuff anyone could've called.

 

[Servbot24]

Why are we so fascinated with Verendus? So one guy maybe lied about playing the game and we get a ton of pages about it? Who cares if he lied, ignore him. I think I must be missing something.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I respect the poster because effort was put into it, I got trolled thinking the battle system will pay off in the full game, becoming something someone considers the best combat system ever.

I took a look at the wrestling thread and the info about people there role playing as wrestlers. I think that's good that they have a space for that, but this guy, if it's all fake, took it a bit far. If so, I enjoy that he got me, and it was a good distraction for me this weekend as I continue to wait on high end tactical battle footage.

And of course, I saw these posts.

is verendus not trolling for once

I would absolutely give it up for him if it was a troll. It would be masterful.

We're waiting on leaks, this is the highlight so far. Nothing new has come up other than someone else getting it in another place, but it may be a lie because the picture may be someone else's.

Edit: Oh my, a new stream, and it's not the very beginning

 

[jesu]

ooft! at Verendus not coming back, I thought he was a bona fide Sony insider.
I wonder why he got away with it for so long.

 

[ferr]

It's not just that. If you go back a few pages you'll see that he actually made up FFXV as well. It was all a hoax.

 

[aadiboy]

Because if he's a liar, he should just come out and say it. Not lead everyone on and continue to post "rumors" that he himself made up. And if he's not lying, he should be able to prove that as well.

 

[The Last One]

Just got spoilered by probably the same video suggestion on Youtube. D: Great, I can't use Youtube in the coming days anymore...

Me too. I think that's an optional boss though so not a big spoiler. I'll avoid YouTube for now though.

 

[jesu]

I suppose it's because he's been claiming to be a Sony insider/employee for years.
And he got away with it for years.
And if it turns out he's been faking it for years...
Bit like when CBOAT was outed as being full of shit.

 

[Ran rp]

I can't wait to grab my copy of FF XV only to be greeted by Verendus' avatar and the words "Balee dat" instead of the title screen. Which brings us to the next point:

Turns out Kojima was too vague to be called a genius. His crazy would eventually make sense.

Kojima is Verendus confirmed. FF XV was a ruse. Tabata is just a CG character and the press is in on the joke. The real Tabata has been dead for over 100 years.

That was undoubtedly the worst live gameplay I've ever seen. Learn to read a map, man.

This really is why we get corridor dungeons.

Do we have a list of known summons?

You get to do stuff while paused, I guess
