I really hope they update the localization. Ignis needs to lose his butler personality.
Yeah, I remember he's suppose to be the guy that looks after the cultural aspect of XV which was why I mentioned his name.

yeah, I remember this. Let's see if they actually walk the talk.
you can see the new UI (at least the character HP section and the mini map)
Holy crap does that look good, love it. The new UI not so much, I wish they stuck with their old one.
The new UI feels done before to me, can't explain it exactly but looks like I've seen it before and not unique at all, and tbh it's probably the slants, lol. The old one was great, it was really clean and minimalistic but still stood out to me.
The Cidney/Cindy thing doesn't make sense since both are English names. That shouldn't have anything to do with a global launch.

I know a lot of people are negative (saying they don't like the characters, the combat, open world, etc.) about FFXV and a lot are really skeptical, to the point where it feels to me like most people fall in one of those categories, but I personally am really excited by what we've seen and feel really optimistic about the game. It seems like it's got heart behind a lot of the inspirations.

Amazing looking screenshot that would be perfect if Noctis was wearing a cool yukata or a gi like Goku wears.

There was something about 1080p 30fps on the forum, but I can't read japanese.

Has framerate been talked about before that? I don't remember.
Very briefly. I think, IIRC, in one of the ATRs, Tabata acknowledged that gamers prefer stable framerate than resolution. So, I think the priority for them is to get a stable framerate first then work out the resolution.

Those new leaked concept arts actually got me really excited. It does seem like they're going to toy with the idea of having a chick into the the bro group dynamic, but where I thought it would be funny to see them make a fool of themselves, it might differ in that they're already friends with her and they all act casually together.

good AA and stable frame rate is more important to me.
So in the end, if those are given, I would be fine with 900p.
I have news for you.

I feel like it's exactly the opposite... if the game doesn't do well they will feel like they have to make a cheap sequel reusing assets to get some money back
I just hope thet can tune up the IQ because it feels like a PS2 game at times @ duscae

What I mean is a release in march. I already know they are announcing the release date.

Yeah, at least birugeitsu says that he's going to a shrine to make a new year wish for 1080p / 30fps, lol.
Don't worry it won't release in March.
SE should get the new SDK from Sony with 7th core unlocked.
Too soon. Maybe the second demo.

That's not going to happen. 100% guaranteed.

PS4 has little memory confirmed, not even enough for a roll, god knows about the Xbox version.
I Imagine it's going to be XIII all over again.
Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to just drop the Xbox One version
Well i don't see why they introduced an FF15 and a KH3 for XB1 if they were just gonna half ass it through support and stuff like that. I'm assuming the XB1 version is gonna be a dirty port of the PS4 version like FF13 was.
We're gonna get a post process solution anyway, so AA should really have no consideration or res. As for framerate...yeah i agree, but if its not GPU limited, i say go for it.
If its the CPU there's really nothing to do about it.

Lool.
That was just the nature of being an early build. Both versions should be fine.

Leaves me very hopeful that the PS4 version is going to be solid in both the graphics and performance department.
Stumpled upon this on the official forum:
The German version of the official FFXV site has a different character description of Luna than the English one and mentions the world's name for the first time:
What's interesting now is this Wiki article:
The German version of the official FFXV site has a different character description of Luna than the English one and mentions the world's name for the first time:
"Lunafreya ist seit ihrer Kindheit eine Kannagi, ein Orakel, das im Dialog mit den Göttern die Welt Eos vor der Dunkelheit bewahrt. Sie entstammt der unter Niflheimer Besatzung stehenden Provinz Tenebrae und genießt hohes Ansehen. Trotz oder vielleicht gerade aufgrund ihrer verantwortungsvollen Aufgabe erinnert sie sich auch heute noch oft wehmütig an die Zeit zurück, die sie als Kind mit Noctis verbrachte."
My translation:
"Since her childhood Lunafreya is a Kannagi, an oracle which in dialogue with the gods preserves the world Eos from the darkness. She is descended from the province of Tenebrae standing under Niflheim's occupation and enjoys high regard. In spite of or maybe because of her responsible job she, even today, still wistfully remembers the time back then which she spent as a child with Noctis."

In Greek mythology, Ēōs (/ˈiːɒs/; "dawn") is a Titaness and the goddess[1] of the dawn, who rose each morning from her home at the edge of the Oceanus.
Could be the goddess from this concept-art:

Good find. That's damn interesting.
You know what else needs to be done? You know what people arent mad enough about?
Her name should be Cidney.
This is pretty old, and the German translation may be a poor direct translation of the Japanese version of the description. There is no mention of Eos in the Japanese or any other version of that text. Also Kannagi is the Japanese word for Oracle, pointing to the probability that it's a literal translation. It is very unlikely that the person translating the website text for German had any insight the English, Spanish, French, and Italian pages didn't.

Didn't people mellow out about this once they found out from the demo that
Cidney/Cindy isn't actually Cid, but her dad is?
I havent really been following along with 15 updates lately, but even if shes not the offical Cid, if shes acting in that capcity she should have a Ciddish name. Cids nephew in 5 was Mid, after all!
Is 15 supposed to still be connected with the Fabula nova Crystallis universe? I thought all former ties with that universe were severed when Versus became its own game but Ive heard some rumblings about how 13 and 15 are still connected
Looks like a sun to me.
Thanks for sharing the recent information with us.
It's finally nice to know what XV's world is called. Eos seems very fitting given what we know so far.
To be clear, there were no ties to XIII, but there were ties to Fabula Nova Crystallis. Fabula Nova Crystallis was the name for a mythology they would use as the basis for several games.(think of it like a made up Greek mythology) The games made with the mythology were as related as God of War is related to 300.
In the case of Versus XIII they used some of the proper nouns of the mythos, and at least one of the gods.
Why did they do this? To sell many games under one brand.(easier to market right? no confusion at all right?Them all having Final Fantasy in the title wasn't enough right?)
That was stupid, so after Nomura left the project they rewrote the lore from scratch to be based around a Christian/Japanese mythology instead of their Greekish one. All proper nouns associated with the prior lore are gone. In the end that's all they were anyway, proper nouns to throw around in cutscenes and flavor text.
She does have a Cid name in japan with Cidny, hell I wouldn't be surprised if there another Cid besides the dad and Cidny around.
In the first 15 trailer at E3, it did have the FNC in the trailer I think over time SE decided to move away from it after the reception and how the mythos was poorly executed in nearly every game. Rumors are 15 has no mention of any FNC which is a good thing imo.

You're most probably right and it's a mistake, or nothing significant.
But the Eos comes from somewhere and I wouldn't say it's impossible for the localization people to know some yet unheard stuff about the world/script and slip up.
So, true or not, we can't know yet.
Well, they said they would talk about the villain for the first time in the next ATR at the end of the year. Guess it's Comic Fiesta this time and not Jump Festa. FFVIIR is at JF apparently.
