"You should know who I am"
Well no dip Square's been trying to make us like you for being one of the strongest characters in FF canon jeez.
But is this all we have on this game? I'd like to know more about it before saying anything, although it's not a good sign to be confined to ONE city.

Bright red markings on important areas to traverse? When did Lightning become a Runner?
It's nice to see more on the Final Fantasy series that I actually care about, and more-so my favorite charracter, but similar to XIII-2, she's been completely remodeled, and I can't find any sense in it. From military grade gunblades to....whatever that is she's using now? At least in XIII-2 when she became godess of all time and space she kept a gunblade. Just made it god-tier.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Speaking of that...why's the highest ranking being left alive in their universe now just a common travler again? If they made her into that important god last game, you'd figure she'd still look like it.
So confusing still....but no different than when XIII-2 was announced. Guess we'll just wait for more info.

I don't care what anyone says. I loved the last 2 and am looking forward to this one. I still have to beat the DLC for XIII-2, unfortunately.
And Lightning has a different design involving armors and special gunblades every time because they said they wanted to make her look more fantasy like in the previous Final Fantasy's. And since when did Lightning become a God? Nevermind, I remember now. Caius killed the previous Goddess or something, right? And Lightning was chosen as the next Goddess. Dammit. I'm going to have to play around XIII-2 a bit to remember the story. Posted: December 20, 2012, 07:30:21 am Her new design looks like that of a sadist/tyrant. It's different and I like it.

Lightning became a god in a sense when what's-her-face in the statue Etro made her guardian of all of existance. She was just human with such powers, though, didn't really become a god until that event at the end.
And look more fantasy...? I can see the irony, but part of the reason I first got into XIII was because they were straying from that. Ugh. Well, at least you can change her looks...
Hopefully they don't go all DLC crazy on things designed to be there in the first place...but I doubt that'll be the case. Just this time, don't cause false hype. I was freaking out over a mention of a side mission with Ezio Auditore or greater reference like that, just to learn it was just you can pay $5 to dress Noel in Ezio's outfit....

I'm not really into that whole 13 day time base shit but considering that they said they will have different events for each play through then thats fine by me. Other then that the game looks awesome but i still need to get more info about it before i make my decision of it being one of my main games to get next year. I guess it's time to finish up on FF13-2.

Well. I hate FFXIII still but this looks better. The Paradigm shift, break and such looks to be gone so we might get actual FF-type gameplay. But at the same time it still looks terrible, you pretty much cannot make this lore likable IMO.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy XIII-3 - Lightning Returns
Post by: Long John Killer on December 20, 2012, 08:49:10 am
...Ouch.
I'd forgotten about that Majora's Mask-esque time limit for this one. Adding the customization factor in, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Link mask somewhere in the game.
I just hope switching weapons is possible to get rid of that replacement sword for Sephiroth she's using.
Curious now, what with Lightning's ability over time, can you return to any point you want, like Prince of Persia or Braid, or just to set places in time?

Post by: Nanashi_1337 on December 20, 2012, 02:37:30 pm
I would rather prefer they create another FF game, and not another sequel of XIII. Oh well, hope it's the last one and they move to another one.
So basically, they're aiming to something similar to Majora's Mask with the day system. I honestly liked Majora's Mask and the way you had to play, so I'm kind of interested on what they will do here.

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Though maybe she's playing both sides with Caius and Lightning, for whatever reason is more important to her than keeping the universe intact. So helping Lightning where needed, so long as it makes Caius happy and helps her own plans.
Just my guess, anyways.

Oh yay, Marluxia Snow's an enemy now. More Lightning beating up Snow, that's appreciated.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Noel being upset is expected but good to see. Spent the entire span of time last game just to have everything he's ever done be worth nothing, yea, he'll be rather pissed with Lightning. Plus following prophecy now where none of that matters, I suspect he'll be all the more pissed later on. But Caius will probably be the focus then.
The actual body damage done, such as cutting off that one creature's tail, is a nice addition. Don't know if it has any actual gameplay usage or it's just to make things pretty, but it accomplishes the second part.
Those glasses are still absolutely ridiculous, though.
Wait, a scimitar and a cudgel? Seriously, what's with all these weapon downgrades?

Your picture's dead, Soknasful.
Would be really weird to put the third title of a series on a different system. I couldn't imagine the newcomers' confusion......but then, Mass Effect seemed to do well enough, and people seem to be happy for Diablo III on the 360, so what do I know?
That said, I'm just going to chalk this one up as a mistake until further notice.

The gameplay is so different to the previous ones there would be no problem with that. In fact they can include the other story related crap in a prologue wall of text and call it a day, nobody will care really. I personally wont.
Wow between this and XV, I'm definitely giving FF another chance. I never noticed her disco pants but damn, her entire costume fucking sucks, thank God for alternative costumes.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy XIII-3 - Lightning Returns
Post by: Long John Killer on June 11, 2013, 02:34:10 pm
The gameplay I'm not worried about, but just summing up appox. 180 hours of gameplay for the past two games for people to read before they even touch Lightning Returns doesn't sound too appealing. Never mind just losing people everywhere writing up XIII-2's many alt. timelines and such.
Tell newcomers to this one it's a story about this solider girl, but it's not about her, it's about her and 5 others cursed by a god, but it's not a god, it's a sort of demi-god who follows another god who's also a demi-god, but then they die and everyone's happy, but then Lightning's a god, and none of that matters because her school teacher sister's an archer, and so-on and so forth. Good god, I'm getting lost myself and I've played through them.
They did include that small summary of XIII in XIII-2's main menu, but it doesn't exactly cover it all. I suppose they can do that again......I just couldn't imagine people starting that far into a series and not wanting to know as much of the past events as there is. Maybe it's just me.
Anyways, I just really hope they have her XIII and/or her XIII-2 outfit in here rather than what they've shown so far, even if it's another bonus item for having saved files of the previous games or something. Because the outfits they've shown so far.....really aren't impressing.

Sorry, but I cordially disagree on XIII being garbage.
And a lot of XIII-3's been rather contradictory and detrimental to character development thus far....which is a damn shame.
Are we even sure Lightning herself IS a character? We do need to remember she discarded her name and sense of self years before XIII itself. I can easily see her being...

Claire
This time rather than just Lightning, but whatever. Still loved XIII and XIII-2 could have been better so who knows.

...Lightning and Claire are the same person, she doesn't have split personalities or something. "Lightning" is just a nickname given to her from her time in the Guardian Corps, not some new life persona.
That doesn't explain the change in character at all.

Post by: DKDC on June 17, 2013, 11:24:47 pm
It's not really that they're scared to drop the characters, the Lightning trilogy was decided pretty early (not talking about the FF13 / FF Versus 13 / FF13 Agito trio, but it was at least already decided when they started FF13-2) so it's not weird for them to go through with the story they wanted to make. If anything, it's simply taking quite some time to finish, so it feels to us like we're spending three numbered games on it.

1. No shit they are the same person, that wasn't the point I made.
2. Lightning states in XIII she gave everything up including her name to take care of Serah so technically, Lightning and Claire can easily be 2 different people at this point.
3. Lightning might as well be a new persona and Claire named HERSELF Lightning, it wasn't a nickname she adopted.

Hm, you're right on the third part, my mistake, but I distinctly remember a scene where she's explaining how other members called her it and it stuck. Sure it's somewhere in the 90-so hours of game there....but it's as unimportant as this whole Claire thing.
Unless she was a 15-year old stripper before her mother died, this still doesn't make a damn bit of sense, other than to give unnecessary fanservice in all the wrong ways.

I don't really see how you need to be a stripper to decide you want to dress a bit provocative or skimpy.
And yes, I'm absolutely sure in Chapter 3, Claire called herself Lightning based on exactly what she believes she truly is, not what the soldiers called her and stuck.

It was an exaggeration....though the way news has been going it might not be so soon enough. The point being, it's out of character. Not a real bright move to mess with the character's design when the game focuses all about them.
• Noctis Lucis Caelum: A childhood affliction endowed Noctis, heir apparent to the throne of Lucis, with the mystical power to see a heavenly light, through which he could sense others’ deaths. Noctis rejects rigid royal conventions and acts as somewhat of a renegade, much to the dismay of those who tend to him. Yet while “Noct” may act brash at times, he does so in defense of those loyal to him.
• Gladiolus Amicitia: As lord of the noble House Amicitia, Gladiolus continues a line sworn to protect the crown. “Gladio” shares a friendship with Noctis that transcends birth and title, and his loyalty to his liege is born not of duty, but of brotherhood.
• Ignis Scientia: Ever the unwavering voice of reason, Ignis was weaned on shrewd logic and a classical education from boyhood so that he might one day counsel the would-be king, Noctis. He applies the deep mutual understanding and trust they have built over time to help smooth over Noctis’s brusqueness with others.
• Prompto Argentum: The puckish playboy Prompto befriended Noctis in his school days. He wears a chip on his shoulder as an outsider to the royal circle, but remains eager to do all he can for the cause.
• Cor Leonis: A living legend of Lucian lore, Lord Commander Cor Leonis’s devotion to the art of war is surpassed only by that to his king. Little love is lost between the ill-starred stalwart and Noctis’s retinue, yet honor binds him to keep watch over the group all the same.
The only crystal left to the world lies in the Kingdom of Lucis. Upon striking a peace with the garrison state of Niflheim, Lucis rejoices in having at last brought the cold war to a close. Their celebrations, however, are premature. Under the guise of amity, Niflheim dispels the anti-armament runewall and launches a full-scale invasion of the kingdom. The peaceful lives Crown Prince Noctis and his entourage once knew are consumed by the flames of war as they struggle to mount a resistance.

A Lightning costume can be obtained by fighting alongside Lightning herself. There’s also a Snow costume for males, and weapons from Final Fantasy XIII.

And while Lightning is falling into the depths of becoming the ultimate mary sue in history, SE is trying to simultaneously work on the next big FF game that will outperform FF7's popularity before they even consider an FF7 remake?
Yeah, good luck with that.

And the developers acknowledged the fact the win pose is against her character. But that's the point of cameos sometimes, it doesn't always NEED to make sense, especially since like FFXIII-2, she has a default outfit that she's always gonna wear, so past pointless whining, it honestly shouldn't matter.

I'm not trying to defend it as it is against her character and the developers have stated it, but when you have 99 other outfits to aim for, the outfit itself will obviously not matter within the storyline at all...it seems absolutely ridiculous(would use the other "R" word, but that's too offensive) to act like this is destroying her character like a single outfit and pose which the developers again have stated is OOC for Cameo purposes suddenly ruin her character and cause this much disproportionate disdain really does make me not regret how much I despise the Final Fantasy fanbase and why I'll never state I'm one ever again...
The fanbase is dead to me.

I never stated you were and I read how you aren't in Final Fantasy anymore nor did I put words in your mouth at all. I said exactly what I stated from mainly the reactions here and on the Gamefaqs board of LR:XIII.
I mainly said it because it's beginning to piss me off that it's not the games that are deteriorating in my eyes, it's the fanbase becoming a collective of vindictive bastards that will never be satisfied till Square Enix dies.
This is not the first Final Fantasy I've seen people bitch about even the smallest details, but this is honestly the straw that is breaking my mind. It's getting to the point I hate when people even mention the series or say how XV is gonna save Square because I already know whats gonna happen next.
It's mainly pent up frustration and my bad if it came off as an attack, I didn't mean it like that.

There's a difference between not giving a shit about a character(which trust me, I've seen happen far too often in literary and video games) and simply tossing things in that honestly should have zero effect on a character at best.
The only thing I see as "logical" is the rightful complaint of how Lightning can get a Cup size increase while in crystalization, there is nothing logical in acting like getting a breast size increase ruins her character because of random nonsense or I guess every woman in the world should be ashamed of their bodies then.
This seems more like nonsensical nitpicking than any "logical" thinking you guys are doing.

Only reason why im still saying it in fact is because you keep replying to me about it.

And I agreed that it made no sense of HOW it happened or the fact Toriyama did it because(Kamiya wanted Bayonetta to have glasses so badly), but calling her a slut and a degration of a character honestly shows how much sex is not wanted in the West.

1. I never said here, did I?
2. Against how she's done before? Her XIII outfit shows leg, her XIII-2 outfit shows leg as well and nothing really stated by HER that she wears practical getup as the only thing. The ONE time I remember her acting as such was in a novella talking about one of Snow's N.O.R.A. members and how she was dressed while wielding a hot ass gun. I'm not saying that as an excuse, but considering we only have what we think vs. the developers and how they say if she's OOC or not, I don't think our fanfiction will win.
3. It was a suggestion if the trend I'm seeing, tis all.
Square-Enix has been whoring Lightning out for the past few years and you people only whine now that they've reached the point where they're sexualizing her? Her XIII-2 outfit was already a red flag.
Funny that no one really raised a stink about this at all till now, and when I mean that, I mean every other female Final Fantasy character. None of them were really called whores or anything at all past the usual brigades, but Lightning wears a semi-practical getup and starts doing the same thing to only a few costumes, and everyone blows their shit.

ONE OUTFIT does not suddenly spoil the whole game. It does not destroy a character, it does not eat your children, kill off humanity and torches the planet in a Solar System wide Supernova.
2. She was not wearing straight up fetishistic clothing while making sexually suggestive poses. Also magical boob job.
3. :X
4. Every female protagonist? Not even close.
2. THAT. WAS. ONE. OUTFIT. YOU. DON'T. EVEN. NEED. TO. SELECT. Seriously, stop acting like it's her starter outfit or every person who gets a bikini outfit is a whore by default.
4. Except yes, it is. Only a few FF females in the party wear something like Lightning's, and even that is fetishized to some extent:
FF4: Rydia basically wears a shaman get up that shows cleavage sideboob and plenty of leg. Rosa doesn't show off as much, but it still makes no sense for someone like her to wear it.
FF6: Tera(not counting Dissida) and Celes wear Leotards.
FF7: Tifa wears a tube top with a microskirt with suspenders, Yuffie wears a tube top as well with short shorts with her fly unziped, Aerith is an exception.
FF8: The only game with absolute exception on the heroes' side.
FF9: Garnet wears a VERY form-fitting jumpsuit, Trance, she wears what is apparently a swimsuit(?). Freya is exempt.
FFX: Yuna shows off her bra and side boob, Lulu shows off massive cleavage and Rikku had her intro scene.
FFXII: Ashe has a microskirt that has been shown prominently in official work, Fran wears...a metal swimsuit. Penelo is the exception till Revanant Wings.
FFXIII: Fang wears an outfit that easily shows off her black bra and panties and Vanille wears a short skirt. Serah in XIII-2 wears a one piece(I have no idea what that is...a cuirass?) that shows of generous cleavage.
I obviously don't count female kids, and this from the Final Fantasy games I've played and especially in the 2-d side, there were plenty of out there clothing options.
This is not something that happens in a blue moon.

None of the previous characters have a design that went as far as those. Even those female characters who are designed with that purpose, like Lulu. And no one ever cared that Rydia showed skin or cared about Yuffie's shorts, there's no sexualization in it (I mean beyond the typical hentai derivation). Even Tifa's skirts is nothing extraordinary, all she has is her joke of a chest but again, nobody cared much. And the problem is more that they're showing off a swarm of dumb outfits like that, not just one. It's just so random, and it's almost the only focus on the entire character they're doing at this point, that's what the problem is. Even before the cat one, it was costume after costume, like a bad gag running stale, and then the cat parts sent it over the edge. The boob job is the cherry on top of the cake, they talk about it as if it mattered. Players may not have to care, but the problem is that the devs care to do stupid things like that, and yes, it detracts from the character.

Except in one of the trailers, it showed Lightning had a Guard lvl 2 in one of her old outfits, meaning that skills can be upgraded to some extent. I'm not saying you don't have an issue with that, but I doubt the Cameo costume will be the forced gamebreaker of all things. That makes no sense in my eyes.

Yes, it is pointless of story lines and everything else, that is obvious. But they stressed us making Lightning to our tastes. It would make no sense to have some outfits that are basically the same crap that she would want to wear if that's the case, sometimes going around and taking liberties isn't so bad since we already seen her default outfit. In the end, I'm not arguing about it as pointless fanservice, I'm more or less calling people out when they say it kills her character or destroys the story or some nonsense when most likely, just like any other outfit in any other game past Easter Eggs, it'll be ignored.

1. DK, those outfits were sexualized, there's no if, ands, or buts about it. You can't have your cake and eat it too. It's either the one outfit shown that suddenly causes her to be like this or everyone else.
2. A swarm? This is the only outfit that caused the uproar it did(well, past the Cloud costume). There was no swarm, this was the only one. Unless there are far more than this than her practical wear(which atm, it's not), then you guys would have a point. But it's not.

Um seriously? They are just preorder costumes...and with FFXIII-2'd preorder stuff, none of THOSE were gamebreakers at all, simply items that would help for the first Chapter or 2 and then become obselete. And the context itself argument makes no sense. There's no real context past "Cameo outfit", there's nothing in there that shows they were planning on making Lightning a stripper or something, so I feel this whole thing is out of control.
And besides, even of 12 of those costumes are preorders, that is still only 12 out of 100, you aren't missing anything especially if they aren't Gamebreaking in the least, which considering their track record, they won't be.
Don't ever visit Gamefaqs, it is the shithole of the internet.
Yeah, I'm thinking of moving away from there. Past the few good communities in there, it's nothing more than incessant pools of hatred and bile most of the time laden with ignorance, both shown and masked by trying to act sophisticated.

Not really. I'm more on the path of "I don't understand why people believe these things suddenly destroy her character when this is the most risque outfit and got a simple cup size increase" part of the complaints. And I do know context, the main arguments people USE don't have the right context.
Llong John is basically being smart about it, he's not doting because of the costume itself, but will they be FORCED to use certain costumes. I can agree with that, but not with the ones that make no sense.

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Lightning_Returns:_Final_Fantasy_XIII_Garb http://www.siliconera.com/2013/07/02/lightning-returns-final-fantasy-xiii-also-has-seven-samurai-armor-costumes/ 26 costumes, several of them being pre-order bonuses, meaning just here as eye-candy. Swarm. Stale running gag. Catgirl outfit being the straw that breaks the camel's back with how ridiculous it's getting. And the sexualization is just one thing, people can usually deal with it. Unless it's just stupid and a random addition for no reason on top of a lot of other random additions for no reason. So yeah, the other girls in the series are fine, this one is too much, not because of the outfit itself (no one cared in its original game in case you haven't noticed) but because of context.
To which you replied that it didn't mean she would be made a stripper, and that they were just cameo and not gamebreaker, which has nothing to do with what I said when I pointed out the swarm of costumes (26) that made no sense and were eye candy for no reason. THIS is the right context of the complaint, not YOUR context. The context of breaking the game is your own context which you're trying to force onto the complaints (before claiming that you don't understand them), but YOU have the wrong context.
You want to know why people complain, this is why people complain. Too many costumes, stupid pointless costumes, stupid changes for no reason (boob physics), paying way too much attention to stupid details (cup size), running gag are why people complain. Not many people were complaining that this would break the game, assuming these extra costumes had certain bonus, because that actually isn't the point of the complaints. The point of the complaints isn't that it's breaking the game, it's that it's a bad running gag. That's the context of the complaint, the swarm of useless costumes (26 is a swarm).
You don't HAVE to agree with the complaint, but if you want to know why, this is why. So just go ahead and disagree and say it's okay if she has even more dumb costumes as long as they're optional. It's okay, you have a right to not care about it. But some people do get annoyed, and it makes sense even if you don't like it.

DK, that's your issues, your context.
I've seen people denounce LR:XIII SPECIFICALY because of the fact she has a cameo outfit, which may or may not be useful in some way, and she got a simple cup increase, which no one noticed till someone questioned Toriyama on it or he stated it in a non-chalant way.
Your anger isn't everyone else's anger, and you need to understand that this forum is completely TAME in terms of people being reasonable compared to Gamefaqs and NEOgaf.

Not here. There's been a grand total of ONE person calling her a slut, and some responding "calling her a slut is a bit much". It's not "my" anger - I'm not angry at anything, I didn't care as soon as they started showing those things. It's what people say here - it's what people HAVE said in this topic. There have been people joking about a FFXIV costume. There have been people bringing up the different cameo outfits beyond the catgirl one, making fun of it by requesting more cameo outfits (silly ones - Aerith complete with the hole in her stomach from Sephiroth killing her). There have been people making fun of how they're trying to shoehorn Lightning everywhere - saying she could be a hidden boss in the KH HD remake replacing Sephiroth.
This IS the context here. You're mad at the context from some other place. If you're mad at Gamefaqs and Neogaf, take it there, don't jump at people here for things they didn't say. And don't tell ME that I'm mixing up what people say here with what's said at other places. Saying that this forum is tame in comparison to other places is MY argument against your being mad at people HERE, not yours. I have no idea how you even think it makes sense to tell me that this place is tame, when I'm the one telling you that people here aren't calling her a slut and are simply annoyed by the silliness. You're the one jumping the guns saying "you people are crazy, she's not a slut, and anyway all the other female characters have worn slutty outfits, I can't understand your complaints, they make no sense".

Jesus DK, I'm not even talking about you or the context anymore, I really AM talking about everyone else NOT IN THIS FORUM(This emphasis, not anger btw). You can have your reasons, they are your reasons alone and they don't seem braindead so I don't really have a reason to argue with you past what I see from Squenix's usage of DLC in D012 and FFXIII-2. What I'm mainly talking about is exactly what you brushed off and believe people aren't going apeshit because of a simple breast size increase and one skimpy outfit shown when they are. From your context and my context, they are from two different ways of thinking and I have no issue with that, I'm only speaking against pure ignorance, that is all.

Post by: DKDC on July 30, 2013, 08:29:27 pm
I haven't said that no one on Earth was going apeshit about the breast size, I was saying that no one here did that. My problem is that since the beginning you're attacking people saying things like "I don't get your complaints, it makes no sense" and "this guy is the only one here with a sensible complain when he asks if the DLC outfits will break the game, unlike everyone else so far". You have been specifically targeting people here, claiming people here didn't make sense. You've been specifically arguing against people here about how reasonable the DLC outfits were. You said your posts were in reaction to what was said "here and on Gamefaqs". You specifically "looked at the recent posts" (here) and went :wall: talking about people refusing logic in this discussion. You specifically targeted the "logic" people HERE were using in their complaints. Don't backpedal trying to claim you meant people elsewhere. You asked for reasons and the logic behind the complaints, I gave you some.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn : Open Beta
Anyone else trying to do this?
Square's really made a great game here... which is what I would have said in the closed betas I was apart of previously.
With the current open beta, there's a bug that prevents the player from getting into the level teens of gameplay... not a beta stopper, a full on bug. Any praise I could give this game, knowing this bug will be fixed past open beta, is completely squashed by the fact I can't play the game much!

I think it's a PS3 thing. But certain instances and class event scenes disconnect the player immediately to a 90000 error code. So noone could level up or go to other contents.
Mostly happenning around lvl 10 or 15. Some cases 20, like the murader

Cloud isn’t the only Final Fantasy VII character you’ll get to dress Lightning up as, in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. You’ll also be able to outfit her in Aerith’s clothes. Take a look at the costume in the video below. While the Cloud outfit is a pre-order bonus in the U.S., the Aerith costume—which has only been announced for Japan at the moment—can be acquired as a bonus that comes with the V Jump magazine strategy guide for the game. Final Fantasy Network spotted the costume during a stream. Square Enix have not detailed how the Aerith costume will be made available in North America and Europe.

...As compared to the last god over everything, the goddess of time, space & creation
She isn't the maker of everything, neither is Bhuni. The Maker is the one who created the 3 Gods, who created the world of FFXIII so technically, The Maker is the biggest guy over everything.

and the one before that, the sword with two heads.
Orphan isn't a god, he's a Fal'Cie...okay, a lesser God, but not exactly ruler of everything, just Cocoon.
Quote
So what's this one's deal? New guy running this new world, Lightning going to kill him?
I forgot exactly what Bhuni is supposed to be, but FFXIII-2 kinda stated some things that can easily be as foreshadowing about Bhuni's point of being here which means:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
There may be a real chance he is the final boss due to the Datalog and Arbiter's words in FFXIII-2 which states a huge battle was supposed to happen at the end of time with Bhuni being somewhere at the center of it.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII has a costume based on Yuna from Final Fantasy X, but a video of the Chinese version of the game uploaded to YouTube shows Lightning donning Yuna’s Gunner outfit from Final Fantasy X-2 as well. You can catch this at the 3:37 mark in the video below. (Thanks, Game Jouhou)
Square Enix will probably announce the second Yuna costume as DLC for Lightning Returns in the near future. We’ll keep our eyes open for more news. Yunas Final Fantasy X 2 Costume Is Coming To Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII screenshot

The comments there confuse me. People expecting that FF X/X-2 costume to be read from save data. Guessing then it's for Playstation then, what with that HD re-release? So no 360 version, then? (Unless I missed that game was also on the 360? Didn't think so)
Fine by me, I can do without Barbie: Lightning Edition, but seems odd of them to do that now. After making the whole issue of it being multi-platform to begin with for this series. Never mind, somehow I mis-read that.

I disagree with that lol. compared to older tomb raiders she was way sexed down. I personally liked tomb raider better than uncharted and even though they maybe similar I would not call it a rap off.

No prior knowledge to say that "HURR DURR NOT FFXI OR VII"or whatever. Seems fun... wouldn't know anything about the characters (except from what I hear in other gaming sites which most of it's probably blind hate).
As a complete beginner, anything I should know that the tutorial won't tell me? (since developers have done such an amazing job at teaching people how to play their games)

The game actually does tell you plenty enough...but here's the best way I can describe certain things they dont tell you:
1. There is Just Guard in which if you Guard at the right time, you take zero damage AS WELL as have your ATB gauge get completely refilled on the spot.
2. Certain enemies can get their limbs removed if you strike at it enough(Zaltys's Tail can be removed), taking away atleast a move.
3. Use Libra(I believe it's RB or LB) to check every time you do an elemental move, as that helps stagger the enemy alot more.
4. You can use items in battle with zero repercussions, so go all out.
There are more knowledgable people around on Youtube with this game so go ask them, I mainly just know the intermediates and what the demo tutorial told me.

Square Enix has surpassed 2 million accounts for Final Fantasy XIV; averages 500K daliy users. (http://www.novacrystallis.com/2014/04/final-fantasy-xiv-passes-the-2-million-subscriber-mark/)
So much for Final Fantasy is dead; maybe not as good as it used to be.
Heh, thought the total # would be a bit higher (still pretty good being vanilla was atrocious). 500,000 players at $12/month minimum sounds like a good amount though.

I will play one of the older games one day. Probably X-2, isn't that the one with the idol entrance (shows what I look for in a game, lol).
MMOs aren't my thing, I've always preferred doing things alone and hate working in teams. Although I'll admit I don't exactly know what I'm talking about on that front.

Since it was announced, the mobile market has come to dominate Japan -- with a side of portables. Triple-A is a much smaller niche of the market, and most enduring Japanese console RPG franchises have either gone portable or carefully constrain their budgets and scope to focus on the key elements their fan-bases most enjoy. Final Fantasy is the last general-purpose HD epic, and Tabata knows it.
Seems more like typical incompetence on SE's part than them doing anything "anti-consumer."
In the era of online multiplayer, rpg's aren't an aaa genre anymore; they have no choice but to either decrease the budget for their titles or move to portable/mobile. Otherwise, they'll just continue losing money (which I totally expect them to do).

A demo for Final Fantasy XV will be available in 2015, Game Informer (link down) are reporting. The demo, titled Episode Duscae, will let players sample an early portion of the game.
Some elements of the progression, Game Informer say, have been altered to fit the demo format. Additionally, they state that a demo voucher will be included with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, which will release on March 17th in North America.
The Final Fantasy XV demo will be released for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but whether or not it will be available the same day as Type-0 is unconfirmed.

Honestly, regardless of mixed opinions I'm more interested in them working on Final Fantasy X-3, but then again they'd be drawing string trying to draw that story out..
If Square Enix whats to make some money and get more fans back into the rpg genre they need to focus on a new "core" Dragon Quest game.

Nomura steps down as director of FF15 (http://m.uk.ign.com/articles/2014/09/18/tgs-2014-final-fantasy-xv-director-leaves-project-focusing-on-kingdom-hearts-iii)
IGN said:
Tetsuya Nomura has left the Final Fantasy XV project, on which he was serving as Director. Final Fantasy Type-0 and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Director Hajime Tabata will step up from Co-Director to FFXV's main Director.
Nomura, notable for his iconic Final Fantasy character designs and leading the Kingdom Hearts series since the original game's release in 2002, will now "focus his full efforts as the director of other highly anticipated titles," Square Enix said, "including Kingdom Hearts III." It did not specify which other games Nomura is working on.
These changes come as part of a "development restructure" within Square Enix. "Currently, Tabata and the entire development team are working, whole-heartedly, towards completing the production of Final Fantasy XV and ensuring the delivery of the highest quality Final Fantasy title to date,” said Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda. "Tetsuya Nomura has mainly worked on the original concept for the [Final Fantasy XV] story and universe in addition to creating the character," Matsuda said. Hereafter, he will be focusing his efforts on the production of titles that can only be made possible by Nomura, himself, and delivering products that exceed the quality of past titles, starting with another one of his representative projects, Kingdom Hearts III. Square Enix will continue to work on these titles with the best staff formation in an effort to deliver them to everyone as soon as possible and appreciates your continued support.”

Title: Re: Final Fantasy MegaThread
Post by: Snakebyte on September 23, 2014, 01:47:09 am
That's the entire point. We're hyped for XV BECAUSE XIII was bad. We've been waiting for a good game this entire time the XIII travesty has been going on. Different team, different direction, ended up even being different engine and console. There's no reason to assume the quality will be related.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy MegaThread
Post by: Niitris on September 23, 2014, 01:57:39 am
Wish I could feel the same way. Part of XIII being underwhelming was because it was rushed/incomplete (as evidenced by XIII-2). In an even more expensive and time-consuming industry, no real reason to believe that there isn't a possibility for that to happen to XV. Don't blame people in the slightest for being apprehensive (especially after what they tried with XIV).
Doesn't help that Square Enix isn't a company I have all the confidence in the world in. Then again I don't have much of an attachment to Final Fantasy or anything SE for that matter. I just hope XV winds up decent (and by that I mean $60+ dollars decent).

Yeah, if anything, it seems to me like they're trying to do it "the old fashioned way", finishing the whole thing they planned from the start and adding everything they want with the quality they're aiming at, and it's a lot harder + taking a lot longer than the previous generations and they're having trouble going the distance.

Yeah, I'm probably worrying too much. Barring extraordinary circumstances, worst case scenario it becomes as polarizing as XIII (which although not "great" wasn't unplayable garbage). That said,
Something tells me I'll still not play this game. Final Fantasy is so far away from it's RPG roots that I might not be able to get into these games anymore.
That's the point; they don't want to make the same thing over again. In the interview it was said that repeating the same formula would result in the franchise becoming stale. I do agree with the approach they're taking, even it if does wind up displeasing a lot of people who want it to stay in it's roots. Of course execution will determine if it was a good thing or not.

Quote
Tabata's also in pursuit of a Final Fantasy that's not as overwhelming as its predecessors, and one that can be enjoyed by a broader audience. "With Final Fantasy 15, I do want to make it more casual," he says. "Of course the depth of the game is going to be there, but I want to make it so players can easily experience the satisfaction of the depth of the game." There's an option to set that car to drive itself, allowing players to sit back and take in the sights - although there is also an option to drive it manually, should they want to engage more fully with the world.
"Another example is in the combat," explains Tabata. "With the hardware specifications of the newer consoles, it's possible to set it up so you have different enemies and different choices of attacks you can enter in, but I want to simplify that. It'll basically be a one-button action, and the AI intuitively outputs an action that kind of satisfies, gives you that instant gratification, and it connects with the simple touch of a button. I myself am not getting any younger. I don't want to be frantically pushing buttons. I also want to utilise the intelligence of the hardware spec, and not have to go through too much hassle or trouble in order to execute moves."
All for more accessible, but not sure if want.

Post by: Shwa on September 24, 2014, 01:39:37 am
the games people hated with all heart are my favorites (VIII, XII, XIII).
I didn't hate XII but I really didn't like Vaan. Hurts more when you learn Balthier was supposed to be the main char but Vaan was shoved in there later on to fit the "average FF fan" demographic at the time, demoting Balthier to party member status.
Figures one of the more developed characters in the story, and one of the coolest, gets internally upstaged by whatever person thought Advent Children was a good movie. hue Now, it's the salt talking, but at the same time it's pretty terrible. Like, if Vaan at least had a personality in his own game (Dissidia 012 made Vaan pretty cool), he could've made the game a lot more bearable. He's just there to be... there.
Never played Revenant Wings though so I dunno about that. Heard it was weird but I wanna play it.
Good thing XII itself was good, wish they ported it for Vita so I could play it anywhere. Great timesink.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy MegaThread
Post by: Snakebyte on September 24, 2014, 01:50:29 am
lol why would you want a game where all you do is hit X.
XII provided the same mechanics and saved on the thumb strain. Mashing the attack button on a menu screen is not enjoyable or skillful, nothing is lost by automating it. I took control when I actually had to do something more complicated. Against enemies I could kill without looking at the screen, why should I need to push buttons? It's the same kind of autopilot. It just took my poor abused X button out of the equation.

The giant monster shown at the end of the trailer is indeed Titan.
Summoned Beasts can be acquired after fighting them, and there are various other conditions for acquiring them as well.
Titan will play a big role in the story, but the demo won’t include him in. It will instead add another Summoned Beast that is not a big part of the story. You’ll get to summon this Beast, and it is said that it will be a dynamic one that will surprise players.
The giant size of Titan seen in the trailer is how he’ll look when you summon him yourself.
The town in the trailer is shown in a seamless fashion; however, at the current stage, Square Enix can’t say for sure whether the entire game will be seamless. Again, they say that they’re doing their best to make it all seamless, but important scenes will likely require some loading. The demo, however, will be completely seamless.
The town shown is called “Lestarg” and it plays an important role in the story surrounding Titan. While big, it is not one of the largest towns in the game, and won’t be in the demo. There’s a hotel where you’ll get to rest, eat, and shop, along with all kinds of other events.
General Cor Leonis will join you and fight in the party. there are some party members that will join as temporary guests, and Cor is one of them. He’s not a friend of Noctis and the others, but an aide to his father. He’ll be there to look out for Noctis and Co.
If you go a while without sleeping, the stat boosts you get from foods and such will lose their effect.
The sleep element has been added to further emphasize that these characters are living people, so they’ll need to get rest just like any normal human. You can eat meals at camp for extra status effects.
You’ll need to take a breather in order to level up. So basically, if you don’t rest at a camping area, you won’t level up. This will make it possible for people to challenge themselves at beating the game at a low level.
You can go three days without sleeping, but any longer than that and you’ll begin to see negative effects.
One day in Final Fantasy XV is the equivalent of a real-life hour, so a day lasts for about 40 to 45 minutes, and the rest is night. This bit is currently in development, so it’s subject to change.
There will be moments where you’ll need to go on fighting for days at a time.
There are also trains to travel inside, and these will have their own spaces within them. You’ll travel by train at times, and can freely walk around inside when you do.
Cindy (or Cidney in Japanese) doesn’t have much to do with the story, but she’s a mechanic who’ll talk to you about gameplay. While we still don’t know exactly what kind of mechanic she is, she’ll appear in the demo. Square Enix’s male staff members have been putting a lot of effort into creating her.
At the moment, Square Enix are working on adding more action varieties, and they feel that magic isn’t looking too impressive, so they’re not showing it. They need to work on it, but they’ll do that after they’re done with the Summoned Beasts.
At first, they decided on only having Noctis use magic, but they felt that it wouldn’t be as fun gameplay wise, so they’re changing it up a bit so that everyone in the party can use magic.
Square are adding various languages for the demo version that will release around the world, but due to the heavy amount of content and problems in schedule, Square Enix can’t say for sure whether they’ll all be included in the initial release.
Insomnia is the capital of the Kingdom of Lucis, where Noctis is the prince of. This is where a ceremonial signing will take place.
Square Enix prepared all kinds of scenes for the latest trailer, but since they didn’t use them all, map director Yasuyuki Matsunami got pretty upset. Tabata justified his reason by saying that trailers can be made in two ways: to advertise or show the state of development. They showed Behemoth and weathers in the previous trailers, and Tabata says this was put together in a rush. As for Jump Festa 2015, the focus was advertising, which was done by the editing studio, and not in cooperation with the development staff. For this reason, they weren’t able to include all the scenes that were requested by staff.
Some of the omitted scenes were shown separately at the event, including one that highlighted Cindy, and another with town exploration.
There was a much older version of the town, but the latest version had a lot more going on that was shown in the trailer when you see Noctis and friends cruising in there. The full-release version will look nicer, and will have more people walking around. If you go near them, you’ll also get to hear them speaking.
You can purchase ingredients to cook at camp. By eating those foods, you’ll gain positive effects. By properly sleeping, you’ll maintain its effects.

Sure is an interesting dynamic to get by, in any case. Not something emphasized very often in RPGs gameplay-wise, I imagine.

So the guy that leaked the changes to FFXV ahead of last year's E3 has a couple more bits of FF news.
One, FFXII HD is basically confirmed at this point. Two, there's a non-big budget, non-FFX, non-FF7, FF spinoff title headed to consoles. Could this be the fabled home version Dissidia?

S-E is going to releasing Play Arts Kai figures from XII, nice timing huh? Hopefully it's the Int/Zodiac version.
I'd like to see a 2v2 Dissidia (So pretty much make it play like the Gundam VS series)

I didn't dare hope for that. "Fabled" ? Do you mean there have been rumors about it, or was that just wishful thinking from random people on the Internet ?
