Extremely worried about FFXV now

[KeybladeLordCheeseCurd 1,542]

With what some people have said of it...I'm getting worried that it might not be as good as promised...I mean, with these people saying that it may be as bad as XIII, and with people saying that Tabata isn't in a good position, I'm scared.

[Sora96 17,256]

XIII was great, but it's nothing like XV.

 

I'd be worried if Nomura was still in-charge, he wasn't getting anything done.

 

FFXV is going to be perfectly fine.

[The Deathdealer 96]

people who have played the duscae demo has said it was great, but needs some improvement duscae 2.0 looks to be an improvement can't wait for a PC version though

Yeah, linear hallways, unlikable cast (except for Sazh), and an automated battle system are totally what made the game great. The game got a lot of backlash from fans and critics a like. Heck, not much FF fans don't even like the entire FF XIII series except for a few people who are more than likely hardcore FF fans.

 

As for this post, after playing the FF XV demo I'm not as hyped for the game gameplay-wise. The gameplay felt a bit clunky and not as fun as I hoped it would be. I hope they change that in the full game.

83 on metacritic and 6.6 million copies sold on PS3/360 alone. Mahahahaha.

you shouldn't base a game's quality on promises, or you'll be disappointed

FFXV will be as good as it could be under Tabata's vision, but it's not like it can live up to the standards of a game that has about a decade of development behind it

 

 

Out of sheer hype though .

pretty lucky that literally every reviewer gave the game a high score because of hype alone

[Sora96 17,256]

Under that analysis every big game ever only sells well under sheer hype.

Yeah but the reason why FF XIII even sold that much was because back then we didn't have a main titled FF game in a long while. And the trailers/early gameplay had supposedly promised us that we would get another FF game with all the core elements. But instead, we were left disappointed when the final product came out.

You keep saying things like "we" and "FF fans", as though you're speaking for everyone.

[Hearts Creed 142]

I think it's still gonna be a good game, looking forward to the update for Episode Duscae.

[Elast0 147]

I haven't played the demo myself but from what I've seen from the trailers, the game looks great. 

[ShadowKeyblade 219]

Where are you getting all this negativity from? The vast majority of people that have played the demo loved it, but think it needs to be tweaked. FFXV is completely fine.

 

If you see a lot of hate, it's the vocal minority. People that are turn based purists hate on it quite a lot, too.

the demo is hardly indicative of what the full game will be like

[ShadowKeyblade 219]

True, but if it's decent like most people believe, there's more reason to be positive rather than negative.

if Square released a demo of FF13 at the point where the combat gets hectic, people would have a positive impression too, it's just that that part is locked behind about thirty hours of game time, and most of that is cutscenes

Don't concern yourself with what "some people have said of it". There will always be people who speak poorly about something. Play it yourself, and formulate your own opinion.

that's not really a good policy

if you play it yourself, sure you form your own opinion, but if it's a negative one you just wasted 60 bucks

by listening to what other people say, you can save yourself from bad purchasing decisions

[Dio Brando 5,810]

XIII was great,.

Whoa there buddy that's your opinion and that's fine

 

but Final Fantasy XIII is like the Sonic Boom of the FF franchise

[Sora96 17,256]

Whoa there buddy that's your opinion and that's fine

 

but Final Fantasy XIII is like the Sonic Boom of the FF franchise

 

Sonic Boom didn't get 83 on metacritic and 6.6 million copies sold on it's initial consoles, and is continually being ported to other major platforms.

[hatok 6,413]

Whoa there buddy that's your opinion and that's fine

 

but Final Fantasy XIII is like the Sonic Boom of the FF franchise

yeah, but that right there shows a problem with the Final Fantasy franchise

they act like ff13 or even ff8 are anywhere near the level of sonic 06 or sonic boom, and get just as mad as sonic fans

like I've said before, the final fantasy fanbase is like the sonic fanbase but without the justification

[J. Severe 1,137]

no tears, KeybladeLordSora. just dreams

[Clouded Sun 1,232]

I've got nothing to worry about FFXV.

 

• The gameplay could use work, but remember: this is a 4 hour taste of a low-level Noctis and party. The final game being different would be natural
• 
  
• The party members (especially with 2.0's update) seem to talk a lot more, and the Xenoblade-like "Heart-to-Heart" sidequests are a nice aside and make the characters more likeable, you know to counter some previous concerns (*coughboybandbullshitcough*) [i hope they do this with guest characters like Cor or Luna, if she joins at any point in the story]
• 
  
• Final Fantasy XV and Xenoblade Chronicles X have been increasing hype and awareness of each, so sales aren't a concern.
• 
  
• Tabata-san is a good director. He listens to fans and directed one of my favorite JRPGs of all time.
• We've seen fast-paced and aerial gameplay in previous builds of the game. To not add them would be foolish of SE.

You're scared just 'cause some people said the demo was bad?  Have you not seen it/played it?

 

They accomplished the one thing that all other FFs have always failed to do: make Ramuh cool.

 

They did it, and they did it well.

 

 

 

P.S: FFVIII was a hot mess.

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

Well, the game hasn't come out yet, so there's no telling how it will turn out!  But I'm pretty sure that the game will be great, considering that it's a highly anticipated title, and one that has been under heavy watch for so many years!  I'm sure Tabata will do good with this game!
