They're making 10,000 more, but unknown when they will be available to preorder. Also, they warned that the second run may ship later than the Sept 30th release date.
Way, way, way late to the party.
All Ultimate Editions were gone in like 1 hour, they have more coming but who knows when.

One of the hosts from the GI show just tweeted out that they will be having a 2 hour long discussion on FFXV tonight at 7 EST/6 CST.
Here is hoping to new footage and some decent info. All the footage we've seen so far has been pretty much 5-10 second bits here and there.
Edit: Also, the day-to-day coverage seems to be ending in April because they will be moving to a new cover story. Now would be the time to lift the curtain on all this stuff they say they have.

That's the podcast they hinted a few weeks ago. I'll skip the story bits I'm curious on everything else, I'm sure a gaffer will do a thread about it covering the spoilers.

He responded to a few tweets and said it is just going to be discussion.

That podcast was mostly useless they have no idea what they're talking about. Nevertheless, appreciate the impressions.

Yeah got nothing out of it other than their optimism I guess? One more thing on the list tomorrow, I'd hope it's all the gameplay footage...
It was mentioned in the TGS famitsu issue, the Plague of Stars is responsible for the nights getting longer and the monsters getting more violent. Luna is trying to prevent it from advancing.

Yeah, it was mentioned for a while, but in selected interviews. The planet(called Eos) is suffering from this illness that is causing the nights to grow longer, eventually resulting in world of eternal night/darkness. They never mentioned what is causing it(as these guys hinted, it might be something tied to Niflheim, or an ancient "threat" tied to the "prophecy"). Very Final Fantasy-type of thing(especially the aspect of a "Dark World" versus Light and the balance between both). People have speculated the "red moon" some were able to get in Episode Duscae is somehow related to it.

Unfortunately that's exactly what I got out of the last FFXV Game Informer Show. They were giving their thoughts and opinions rather than any real concrete details and most of the people talking seemed only passingly familiar with the game and Final Fantasy as a whole. I was hoping for a lot more than a bunch of armchair speculation and thoughts from people who aren't really huge fans. With that in mind I'll probably skip this one and hope they reveal something with meat soon.
I wouldn't hold my breath on them showing too much gameplay though. A lot of what they played through seems ridiculously rough. Like, unfit to show to the public rough. I'd be surprised if they reveal much more.

Re podcast, indeed a big heap of conjecture and retread. The one thing that jumped out at me though was when they discussed the map size.
They seemed to have seen some kind of representation of the world with "multiple continents" and were impressed by how much they felt remained to be shown. Then they spoke with some confidence of their being another map they hadn't been shown as well (the moon?). I wonder if this confidence came from something else they saw when there (e.g., in the monster book or some such).
Obviously take with a grain of salt.

Didn't watch the podcast and I don't really think I can right now. Can a lovely person summarize it? :3
The only interesting factoid to come out of this was that the version of the battle system they played and I assume, the version present in the Platinum Demo is the more active version. Meaning we haven't seen the more passive version yet. I think at least a few people were hoping that this one was the passive one and there would be a more difficult mode coming.

Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone would come to the conclusion that the version we've played is anything but the active version.
I'd wager the more passive version will look something like Dissidia's RPG mode.
NoctisVsStar
Member
Hope the more difficult mode makes the parry window smaller.
They need to get rid of the hold a button to attack and defend altogether for the more technical mode, and have the attacks feel 1:1 to the button presses. After coming from Nioh, XV feels pretty sluggish.
Vincent Grayson
Member
I think you're misreading. The post above was saying we already have the more "technical" mode and haven't seen the simpler one.
I don't think the hold to attack and defend stuff is going away.
Final Fantasy XV Remake
Yes.
And it will never be released. By 2030 we will still be getting small chunks of vague info in interviews from Nomura, and the game will become vaporware just like Versus XIII was.
In my head that's a completely different genre though, and is apples and oranges.
I played Platinum Demo for the first time last weekend and still have a list of impressions in front of me. The responsiveness of the attacks were never a problem to me and I was just coming off of KH3D. I see what the difference is finally, but it made 0 difference to any approach I was making and I could ignore it.

The name kinda reminds me of "Geostigma", because (if I recall correctly) star and planet are the same word in Japanese.
No. Let him do smaller projects like TWEWY.
the latest and I assume the last feature article is up now
"FINAL FANTASY MASTERMINDS REMINISCE ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE MOMENTS"
"FINAL FANTASY MASTERMINDS REMINISCE ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE MOMENTS"
And Tabata will again be hired to make an actual game out of it

Final Fantasy Versus XV.
Breh, why are you fiending more unpolished, pre-Beta footage so much? We're eating in ~5 months already, anyway.
true, but i was hoping gameinformer would go out with a bang instead of this article. article's neat tho
Just wait for E3.

True, not very climactic. Kind of fun to hear the old guys' opinions though.

Time to go into hibernation, see y'all in June! No more news until then but we'll be eating soon enough.

Sort of true, but probably not in this case. I'd have to see how it's written in Japanese, but I assume it uses the other reading.
For me, it seems more like the "winter is coming"/Long Night from Game of Thrones.
I'm not referring to mechanics, just how it feels to press a button and get that immediate reaction. For any melee action combat regardless of game genre, more immediacy in button reaction is always better than a delayed response.
