This is a gameplay model.

Damn. I didn't have a problem with a permanent all male team, but now I'm starting too. Would be nice to have some eye candy in your team.

 

[stryke]

Just out of curiosity, wonder if there is going to be a console that FFXV is going to be associated with when it's thought of?

Go look up sales splits for any of the FFXIII games and you'll have your answer.

 

[Hyunashi]

Old one seems better. Unless that was what you saying.

The big guy and glasses guy look better to me now though. Noctis looks worse.

I agree with all this plus Stella looked better originally too.

 

[DangerMouse]

Damn, it looks so good, looking beyond the smudgy captured video. Thanks for the link LouisaFerre.

And thanks for the cool info post earlier Frumix.

Some things from the new trailer that haven't been mentioned yet:

- No bosses in the demo, but something that will have a big impact on long time Final Fantasy fans will happen and they will be very happy
- Game is open world
- Demo has dungeons

 

[Mortemis]

Some things from the new trailer that haven't been mentioned yet:

Did they go into depth about wtf they exactly mean by open world? I obviously don't expect gta but I'm wondering just how open this is. FFXII or Xenoblade openess would make sense.

I fully expect them to pull an Aonuma and correct themselves about saying open-world.

Demo info:

When Final Fantasy Type-0 HD goes on sale next year, it will include a demo voucher code for Final Fantasy XV. Today at the Tokyo Game Show, director Hajime Tabata explained what players can expect.

The demo's title is Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae with "Duscae" referring to an area within the world.

Online in Japan, some have wondered whether or not the demo's title was a pun. The reason is that "Duscae" in Japanese is pronounced as "desuka," which sounds like the Japanese phrase for "Is it?" Thus, to Japanese ears, the demo's title sounds like, "Final Fantasy XV: Is It an Episode?" However, Tabata said the demo's title is not a clever pun. "I'm too old for that kind of thing," Tabata told the TGS crowd during his presentation.

The demo looks to be about an hour if you use the car and don't explore. You can either drive the car yourself or have the another party member drive in an auto-pilot mode as you chill out in the backseat. But, the demo might not be driving (or walking) only. "If things progress well, we'll put in a chocobo. If we don't have time, we won't."

However, if you go on foot and explore the surroundings, you could get between three to four hours of play. According to Tabata, there will be monsters and "maybe a dungeon." There won't be a boss battle, but Tabata said there would be "something more amazing." According to him, "This is something that Final Fantasy fans will really like." Wonder what that will be...

The download code for Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae will be released with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD will be released in March 2015.

They just said open world, they didn't really go into any specific details.

 

[jiggle]

$60 for 1 hour demo is kinda stiff :/

It's the ethereal kween Lightning ahhhhhhhh

 

[Plywood]

It's similar to the hi-res tone from last year. They likely lightened it to match with current fashion trends.

(Though blonde seems to be on its way out again)

The game should receive updates which makes the characters match fashion trends.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I agree with all this plus Stella looked better originally too.

Same, I would've said her too...but I've already said it a few times the past 2 days.

They said it's 1 hour, but can go for 3~4 hours if you do the dungeons or walk instead of driving (sounds like they're optional?)

 

[Plywood]

Japanophile

Did somebody say weab-

awww

 

[Zeyphersan]

$60 for 1 hour demo is kinda stiff :/

Luckily it comes with a free copy of Type-0 HD

 

[wmlk]

THERE'S MORE????

If you legitimately have no interest in Type-0, you either shouldn't buy the game, or sell it off once you get the code.

 

[Village]

he looks like a white boy who wants to fit in in a jpop world

New promto?

while i would not use the term " white Boy"

he does look a bit more Caucasian than before.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

THERE'S MORE????

We're in a new era, where updates of FFXV actually come regularly. Prepare thyself.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Its confirmed that this demo will come with Type-0?
I want Type-0, with or without that demo. But that would be nice! I will get the digital though... so I hope that we have access to the demo going digital aswell.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Awesome trailer. Easily my most anticipated game of 2018.

Spoiler

2016

 

[Slowdive]

Its confirmed that this demo will come with Type-0?
I want Type-O, with or without that demo. But that would be nice! I will get the digital though... so I hope that we have access to the demo going digital aswell.

It comes with a download code, during the demo they said they want it to be out for Type-0's release.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

It comes with a download code, during the demo they said they want it to be out for Type-0's release.

If it is a download code, maybe digital wont have this access?
Also they said if both, PS4 and Xbox One, will have access to this demo?

 

[ULTROS!]

I'm not sure if the digital has it or not. Both consoles will get the demo.

Thanks a lot! =)

soda came out my nose i hate you

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Man, if you compare the old Prompto:

At least it's not this:

 

[Haly]

I prefer crackhead Prompto.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

I prefer crackhead Prompto.

Not gonna lie, I really liked bleached hair, crackhead Prompto. Made him seem like much more of the "bad influence" that they keep saying he is.

 

[sappyday]

I prefer the middle one but the new one isn't bad. Still those fucking stupid Roen designs.

 

[watershed]

If this game is as good as it looks the only thing I will have left to complain about are the awful names. Prompto? Gladiolus? Cor?

 

[Frumix]

Snow? Cloud? Basch fon Rosenburg of Dalmasca?

 

[Mortemis]

Names don't really bother me, the only one that gets me is Ignis, they gave him the last name stupid scientist, I can't even.

 

[R-User!]

Towns

Not an actual town, but just the word "Towns" at the end of the demo.

Posted it in the other thread but

Square Enix will announce much more for Final Fantasy XV during their Square Enix Presents show, and they also plan to reveal a bunch of information during Jump Festa later this year.

Hopefully the Square Enix Presents isn't too far off.

Shorten them. Iggy. Prom. Glad. Co.

I know, it's quite surreal.

 

[Nightengale]

Based newly rekindled love Square-Enix.

And somehow I'll manage to hate them again when Sleeping Dogs 2 is an MMO always-online PC-only game.

Please don't, SE.

 

[benzy]

 

[Haly]

I don't know why they gave him Roxas hair. Noctis is plenty spiky, we didn't need another spiky boy band member.

 

[Squire]

There's speculation that animal status ailments/Maidens' Kiss might come back. Oh my god that would awesome.

 

[SoulUnison]

Damn. I didn't have a problem with a permanent all male team, but now I'm starting too. Would be nice to have some eye candy in your team.

This is one of the reasons I'm in love with the whole "road trip/brotherhood" theme.
Leave the pandering out of this. The only "eye candy" the game needs is how good looking it is.

 

[Kagari]

Prompto looks like a shorter haired Cloud now. Damnit SE.

First offscreen HQ video of the demo play?

I was actually thinking he's the coolest looking one in the group right now, so thanks for ruining that! 🙈🙉🙊

Interesting...

Square Enix Presents isn't an event. It's S-E's irregular ad-hoc Youtube streams. Kinda like Nintendo Directs, but each program is usually for a single game. They're promoting Bravely Second and Final Fantasy Explorers this way too. So it's not a specific event to look forward to, they just mean that in future they'll probably have updates using this platform. There's currently nothing announced on the Square Enix Presents blog: http://www.jp.square-enix.com/sep_japan/
