Games The Final Fantasy Thread!

[Yoichi Hiruma]

Wtf? Is that Final Fantasy or God of War? Noctis seems will go Kratos mode on that giant demon

Oh, so titans appear in FFXV. The game looks incredible. Its nice to see how they managed to get so many references to other games in the trailer.

Anyways, I thought I would give FFX another run. I have been playing over an hour and I still have not gotten past the beginning of the game. The cutscenes are even more excruciating than the first run. Not sure if I can pull this off. I thought I would do a run to get the max stats but It seems too ridiculous at this point. Not sure if I can bring myself to get to the good part of the game...

Famitsu has posted some more FFXV info

 

[Jammin]

Something that stands out to me.

"Character models have around 600 bones, which is roughly 10-12 times greater than what was seen last generation."

Fun fact. The body of a real adult human being has 206 bones. So.....WTF?

Welcome to the future, buddy. What a time to be alive

talk about unrealistic body expectations....

I don't really know if I should be hyped or not.

While I am probably one of the few people who absolutely loved Lightning Returns, I don't trust Square Enix anymore.
The trailer looked great and I'd like to know how good the demo of FF XV will be but still... :/

Yup we really shouldn't trust Square Enix...

How the hell is that PS4 worthy?

 

[SharkBait]

Are your expectations for a psp game too high?

 

[ibra87]

To be fair, it's a lot better resolution than PSP. But it's indeed nowhere near PS4 quality.

 

[Jammin]

Type-0 looks like what it probably is to me. A reskinned psp game rereleased as a ps4 game with a full $60 price tag...

What's not to trust about that?

Then at least have the decency to release it on PS Vita or PSN only and especially don't demand 70€. Those are hardly HD textures. Even Birth by Sleep looks better and that game alone was already cringeworthy on PS3.

Sadly I even fail to see the "reskinned" PSP game. It is just a PSP game which was stretched until it reached 720p.
IIrc even with an emulator you get better results...

That's the way ports like this usually are. They replace textures, work on the character models, apply some lighting effects and such. Maybe some bloom in an attempt to hide the rough edges but they don't usually overhaul the meshes or pretty up the environments much. And as long as they don't do that it's going to look blocky.

I also fully expect this to come to Vita at a lower price eventually. With these graphics and the install base Vita has in Japan it just makes sense; maybe too much sense for Square Enix though.

The reality here, at least what I suspect, is that they are using Type-0 on PS4 as a way of gouging people for the Final Fantasy XV demo. Using the demo to boost sales and justify jacking up the price of the game; which should really be priced $30-$40. After they're done doing that, they will most likely announce it's coming to Vita and gouge people one last time; because, as Square Enix often shows, if your a Final Fantasy fan they hate you.

They've admitted iirc that it's a way to lure more people into buying the PS4.

That is why I planned to never buy something from SE again. The quality is just so... Ugh... FFX HD looked better than KH 2.5 HD which also looks better than Type-0. No problem. If it was released on PS3. This is just not PS4 worthy. Look at The Last of Us, GTA V, etc. All looking way better than this. They had so much time to do this...
They updated the characters but not even the Chocobos. Pretty much every enemy looks like a PS2 character too. This is just sad.

I will wait then. Won't pay that much money for a demo and a crappy "remaster".

*Sighs* After I started to hope again after Lightning Returns...

That is even worse then. Japan is all about mobile gaming. Shouldn't they know that?

 

[SharkBait]

I thought the first trailer they showed for type o hd hd this comparision thing showing the changes and etc.

Only issue I have is the environments could have been more populated with stuff in the ps4, otherwise it reminds me of the very early ps3 rpgs.

Well PSP is really old though BbS was a really good game back then. Same goes for Type-0.
But please don't release a game with barely HD textures as a PS4 game...

New FFXV info

FFXIV New expansion coming next year

Honestly, the game looks pretty good on the psp emulator PPSSPP on HD screens. Only things that can't be scaled are the videos but meh, who cares.

FFXV's battle system is revealed in the latest Jump issue.
