Final Fantasy XV Chapter 0 revealed, preview inbound (Spoilers) (Duh)

There were three leaks. The first leaker absolutely did this, as was said by the second leaker, TheGuy (the game didn't run that bad, the plot is actually interesting, etc). However, a third person (MarkisLucis) came into the picture with accurate descriptions for the timeskip designs that were confirmed by TheGuy, but with conflicting details about the rest of the plot, like:
wether or not Luna ends up being killed
.

These last two leakers said that they don't have contact with the game itself, and that someone else showed them screens/concept artwork for the game and described them the basic plot and stuff. That's why I think some details are definitely true, like
Ardyn's identity, the timeskip, etc
while others are just inaccurate information.


So we have 3 leaks each with correct and contradicting info?

I never read the story spoilers of the leak, so the only part of it that I'm worried is this one

The Guy( Aposter comment on this) who's recently been right with FFXV leaks:

Many towns, few but expensively detailed and gorgeous cities.

Yes, the world feels empty. From what i gathered, they kinda wanted that after some point in the developpement.

The game is all about the journey so you need to believe in this journey by crossing huge land masses with you car. Hopefully, there are many great environnements to look for.

It got delayed until November. Which legitimizes that bit of information of how poorly the game is running right now.

No it is not.. Tabata calmy explained the reason for the delay and how the game had already reached master. Again, that was 2-3 months ago.
 
Well. Leak is definitely proven true at this point

I just wonder how much the performance has come along since the info was first leaked... Obviously it won't be released until it's playable, but it'd be nice if it was performing well when it's finally released. I'd love an update on if they're gonna hit 30fps.
 
Will not read leak, waited 10+ years so I this wine will be savored as it's supposed to be. If Kagari has faith then I'm not even stressed.

When those spoilers came out I knew they were going to be just that. What I don't get still is why people are surprised lol, what kind of story you expected, some kind of convoluted Nojima story? We already knew he had fuck all to do with this game and seemingly one of their goals was to have a really easy to understand story. Turns out that's exactly what we're getting, something basic and unsurprising anyone would understand :p

Jesus Christ, if the leakers are legit, I want some point by point summary of what happened to Versus 13. I know we got some nuggets, but I want to read the nitty gritty.

About the first leak, we had this in that thread:

For people late to the thread, the OP ended up being down to a weird user who had like 12 different accounts between 4chan and Gamefaqs, and had endless arguments between his sockpuppets, basically shitting up every FFXV thread for years with fake theories. People found he'd been doing this for years beforehand with FFXIII too and made all sorts of R34 porn of FF characters.

He was a really weird person who was also behind the Kingsglaive spoilers, a bunch of stuff he said was contradicted by stuff that had already been announced/shown, didn't make any sense on its own, or was contradicted later.

So maybe the first leaker had access to some things and they made out most of the other things.

What does it say? Without story spoilers please.

It says the reddit leak is right on the beginning but got some details wrong.

Also that when the leak said it was only playable for 2 hours on the PS4 in June was technically true, but only because they were just starting to port over the assets from PC to consoles. The game is in a far more playable state on development pcs.

Jesus Christ, if the leakers are legit, I want some point by point summary of what happened to Versus 13. I know we got some nuggets, but I want to read the nitty gritty.

The thread had some gossip. They were saying Nomura basically had fuck all to show 2-3 years after FF13 concluded, then wanted to make a trilogy instead of a single game. He got booted from the project.

Yep. All of it will be either reconfirmed/confirmed by the time we actually get to play the damn game ourselves lol.

Kind of, the only point the 2nd leak that got verified and contradicted by 2 poster was
weather Luna is dead in the end.

I'm surprised you guys are suprised about the empty world considering what Tabata said about looking at Shadow Of Colossus for inspiration.

Hell, Kingsglaive even credited Fumito Ueda in special thanks.

What was that about? Didn't real em

Apparently back in May the game wasn't yet ported to consoles and only ran for like two hours on PS4, but leaks that have come out since then have said better things about the game's performance apparently

Are we going to believe him? Man I don't believe anyone until I play the game myself, that's mandatory for any game out there, let alone one as troubled as FFXV.
 
I can't deal with all the horrible overreactions in this thread =/

People take no time to grasp on even the insignificant things just to talk shit about the game.

OMG, THE LEAKER WAS RIGHT ABOUT CHAPTER 0. THIS MAKES THE WHOLE GAME SHIT!

Ok. Whatever works for you, I guess. I'd rather wait for the final game and be the judge.

You guys do know that while the early leak might have some truth for the story, there is also a bunch of BS mixed with it. He even outright said that FFXVI will only be made if FFXV is a success.

The original KH story summarized in 10 sentences will sound like shit. It is no way to experience the story of a game, let alone use it to judge the whole game.

I'm concerned that they thought it was a good idea to develop the whole game on a high end PC first, then "worry" about porting to consoles at the last minute. No matter what other bad decisions they've made, this one seems like the worst.

The trash leak was real after all? Eeek!

My post from that thread

The story spoiler are so out there and tragic all around that is most likely true.

Town being jrpg size is worrying tho, it would be hilsrious is FFXV fails to do better than FFXII.
Ugh. Let me go to sleep a bit.
 

Ralemont

not me
So has anyone read the leak and said, oh man that sounds awesome, or is it all negative? Obviously performance stuff is negative but is the story at least good?

Don't know how anyone could tell you that based on a plot summary. Many people on this board love FF7's story, and a plot summary for that makes it sound like the worst piece of shit ever.

Is it really shitty? I mean, it sounds simple, but... better than FFXIII I guess?!

The main issue I have is the
sleeping for 10 years part.
That sounds like the dumbest way to achieve a timeskip ever, and potentially makes zero sense on how the enemies wouldn't bother to do something about it when
Noctis sleeps.

the game was releasing in mere weeks, master had to be ready by now so yes I do believe him.. all they were doing is optimizing for consoles, thats the last step in development and it does not surprise me that in the early days of this process it was a complete fucking mess on console.. but thats besides the point.. its been months since and they got far enough there that a master version of the game would be ready.. he delayed it to really finish that process in time for it to be the disc version and not just a patch.and im also speculating they delayed it 2 months instead of just maybe 1 so they could try to support neo.
 
FFXVI will definitely happen, but if XV is a disaster, I could see it receiving a significantly smaller budget and going for a more old school, turn based approach. Which, for this series, might be a good thing.

I don't know. I want the XVI that Verendus described, about the game being an evolution of XII by having a massive party of characters all controlled at the same time, and the game being directed by Ito. That sounds like it would require some budget; but maybe not. I guess graphics are what takes money, I guess.

Thank god I didn't read it. Someone who read it. What is your overall impression of it. Good bad?

It hard to say since it's not a detailed outline of the story overall. I think it's fine depending on how it's executed. Again the 1st leak may be wrong due to contradicting things from other leaks. Hell the leak been called over negative.

I mean I liked it enough to let everyone else know I was hyped to see this footage. A leak confirming one thing doesn't confirm the others IMO because we don't have the game in our hands ourselves. Once we actually get to that point then we can start confirming/deconfirming all these super leaks.

Stage 1 is denial.

That said, I'm sure some people will like the game no matter yhe quality

So maybe the first leaker had access to some things and they made out most of the other things.

With all of this, I think I'm at the point where I'll watch the new trailers/gameplay and just wait for the game to come out. You already have some people taking a definitive stance on the story's quality based on like 10 lines of writing. This is too much for me lol

Yep. The last leaker said that all he saw was concept art from 2014-2015, so it doesn't actually contradict the two other leaks, but I doubt they changed
the ending with old Luna and Noctis and just decided to kill Luna mid-way through the game
 
Leaker also said a reason for the delay is because Sony is being really strict with them about the Neo version and he wouldn't be surprised to see this slip into 2017.

thats literally how it has always worked for them...

Lmao. If you want to believe that, feel free.

Tabata has been a pretty honest guy up until now.. the game was releasing in a few weeks plus it would have to go gold weeks in advance so they can print copies.. why wouldnt it have gone gold already?again it may have been shit 2-3 months ago, but why would you believe that to be the case still? everyone is playing the master copy of the game at gamescom so its not like you wont find out very soon.
