I honestly would prefer that girl over Iris, but if there isn't a girl in the group then it's fine. Noctis is probably my favorite out of the whole group, I like shaggy hair and overall character design.

Thats what I mean, I was talking about Iris being actually with the guys

Other than Cor...

...there really hasn't been any other part-time party member confirmed. I wonder if Gladio's sister is going to be one... Tabata always stressed that he thinks female party members would completely change the group dynamic and that he wanted to to have this nonchalant best bros on an adventure kind of atmosphere and that a woman would change that. But fans complained a lot about that. Maybe Iris is the perfect way to bring a female into the group that doesn't change the group dynamic as much, because she's practically a family member and no possible love interest. And by the looks of it she seems a little tomboyish too.

Crazy how they rather go with advanced tech and insane 20.000 polygon hair (that's a whole Soul Calibur 5 character) even though it looks actually worse than what they did with less advanced tech and ressources in the last generation. x__X
"Let's work harder instead of smarter for a shittier product, that'll be good. Dynamic resolution and struggling to keep 30fps but look how many single hairs 000:"
On another note: New World of Final Fantasy trailer:


Looks so pretty. Unfortunately for me, writing and characters are way too daft to enjoy this. :/
If I had money I'd get it lol. The female protag design looks weird to me for some reason

I really don't understand this thinking...
Have you seen the PC version of XIII? It looks absolutely gorgeous and the image quality is pristine. I'm sure the rumored PS4 remaster will look and run just as good. If you don't look to closely at the low polygon models the game imho looks overall better and more polished than FFXV.

For those not in the know about the latest news in Dissidia...

It's been only less than a month - LESS THAN A MONTH - and TN has already gone on the record announcing another new character by the end of July, not to be outdone just revealing one of the best villains of all time last month, Kefka.

The next reveal will be made this Monday - July 25, 9pm JST - on the NicoNicoDouga stream.

And for those who don't believe me, here's the proof:

http://www.siliconera.com/2016/07/1...asys-newest-character-revealed-july-25-japan/

I find this sudden reveal a bit odd, as they recently said they would reveal a character every one-and-a-half to two months...

Perhaps it's a guest character from a spinoff franchise?

Sora from Kingdom Hearts?

Brave Fencer Musashi?

Or maybe something more obscure like a character from The Bouncer or Aya Brea from Parasite Eve?

With characters being revealed in order of game release out the window, anything is possible now.

Lol, I know. I meant, I don't understand the game developers that rather have oh so advanced tech which turns out to look worse then less advanced tech in older games, like FFXIII, which imho looks a lot cleaner and more polished than XV.

In this case it's probably "well f#$k we spent all that money and time on this tech and it ended up looking like crap but if we don't use it those resources were for nothing...let's just pretend it's amazing and hopefully no one complains"

My guess would be another villain. They went completely out of order with Kefka so I've got no clue on this one.

New interesting French interview with Tabata about Final Fantasy XV:


For everyone not fluent in French here a translation (not my translation):
- Any plans for the ps4 Neo?
- I am quite interested in the ps4 Neo but we don't have any established plan a the moment. I think it is good thing to let the gamers choose how they want to play their games. And personally i love powerful machines!

- FF XV evolves/changes every time we see it, what changed since the Uncovered event ?
- Since Uncovered we adapted our PC dev environment to create the consoles versions. We optimised and improved them. The Titan demo is the first result of that.

- Can you tell us more about the optimisation of each versions of the game?
- Sadly i can't tell you how far we are going to push each versions of the game, my answer wouldn't be precise enough .
But despite of that i can tell what have acomplished with this E3 demo:
- X1 : 800-900p, close to 30 fps but it can go lower when you ask your allies to do something (this problem is related to the GPU ) .
- PS4 : has the same goal as the X1 version but with 900p-1080p and 30 fps .
- Nevertheless we are fully in the optimisation phase, the retail version of the game will have the same standards .
- [ P.S : don't forget that the Japan Expo Titan demo is reported to run really smoothly for both versions since it isn't the same build as the E3 demo ]
- Tell us more about the PS VR , what are your plans ?
- We have been interested in the VR for a long time and since Sony offered us an opportunity to show something for this E3 we took it .
We then took a small part of the game to make a "live" experience with a more "casual" gameplay .
Once the game is out we will probably make a deeper and more engaging VR experince thanks to everything we have learned about the vr development with this E3 experiment .
[they then talk about how much they liked the car part of the VR demo and how Tabata wants to share it with as many players as possible .]

- Since FF XV is getting close to its release ,what are your best and worst memories about the development of FF XV ?
- It is quite hard to find a bad memory about this development , i'd say that having the chance to develop something so important for the fans and with so much attention put on us was something wonderful .
It was quite hard , but i think the most joyful moment will be the game's release .
I am eagerly awaiting for this moment .
As a matter of fact i am sure we had some really hard moment but we generally forget those kind of things .
Oh wait , i remember a bad memory , i worked and traveled so much for the game that i couldn't spend enough time with my daughter . It was quite hard ! (he says this line at the end of the interview but it is better if i put it right here ).

- You will finally be able to have good rest after all these never ending days of work !
- Yes , i will surly have the chance to relax a lil bit but not long after the release we will have to focus on what we are going to do with the game.
The gamers have been waiting a long time for this game so i want them to enjoy it as long as possible .
We will have to think about how we are going to develop and extend the FF XV's experience .
So even after the release of the game we will have a lot of work.

Interesting, that there is so far no plan for a PS4 Neo version @KasumiLover69, which hopefully means they will squeaze everything possible out of the current consoles and not take the easiest route with them and just promote the game with better graphics on Neo.

Also, apparently the game runs really smooth by now. Digital Foundry made a Framerate check a few weeks ago for the most recent demo:


And since then there have only been reports about further improvements. In the newest version on Japan Expo in Paris for example:


Unfortunately only off-screen, but it does indeed look impressive.

That makes me really happy, they're not cheaping out and trying to use the vanilla PS4 to it's full potential. And I'm glad the frame rate will be smooth, I was kinda worried about that with how much detail and everything they've put into the game this far.

I'm sure ChapStick will be happy that the framerate has been made better since I think I remember him having problems with that! :)

Also its good to see that they are putting all their efforts to make it look as good as they can, I'm not super technical so I don't know the ways in which developers are limited by the technology that's available, But its good to see that as time progresses things that I didn't know were hard to do become easier.

I think, @Chapstick has already given up on the game and allocated his finaces on other upcoming games. That is as long as Gladio doesn't get a topless costume. XD

On another note, cool new Kingsglaive poster:

Oooh...brand new Kingsglaive trailer! O:


Looks pretty hype!

Remember when we all were concerned about Final Fantasy XV not being Final Fantasy enough? In the last couple of years they really turned that around. It's less traditional fantasy and more science fiction, like FFX, FFXII and FFXIII but it does look way more fantastical now than ever before. To think that once Lucis was almost a 100% copy of Shinjuku, Tokyo and the court looked like a yakuza gang... Now Lucis looks like it jumped straight out of a Star Wars movie. What we've seen of the game recently seems to indicate the same change of style.

Aww...young Noctis and Luna screen from the trailer:

Wow it comes out in less than a month! I'm definitely seeing it, It just looks so good and I love the voice acting. Luna is really good looking in this movie. And yeah Lucis looks really interesting like a mix of Tokyo and medieval Europe.

I want to see it too. >__< They said it is meant to be seen before playing the game. But there will be no showing in German cinemas as it looks. And even if, probably not in my town, when even big cities like Chicago and Los Angeles in the US don't have a showing.
I could download it digitally on August 30 but I don't really download stuff like this on my PC. I'm old school, if I pay for it, I want it physically. So, that's also not happening. The regular DVD/Blu-ray version will be available on October 4 which is after the game release. So, that's too late. :/

I guess I have no no other choice than preordering the fugly Deluxe Edition after all:

It's not that I don't just like the Amano art work on the cover, I hate it, it looks like swirling vomit. :/

When it comes out If its not in the cinema I'll see if I can rent/buy it digitally. And yeah from far away it doesn't look like anything on the box and you'd have to get close to see the detail.
