Final Fantasy XV is on Japan Expo in France right now with an updated demo build. Some new info from there:

• The framerate of the Titan demo is really solid and stable.
• It is not the E3 build.
• It is dubbed in French and the dub is good/decent.
• Some people who didn't like the Titan demo on Youtube loved it once they had their hands on it.
• The Titan demo is like 30% of the actual Titan battle.
• You will have to learn how to finish him by yourself (so it won't be just using blizzaga).
• The effects on the screen are impressive.
• The AA/IQ isn't perfect but it isn't as bad as people say.
• The lines are cool and believable (in French at least ), for instance they react really well when the huge hand comes down.
• A new trailer was planned but it is still possible that we get it before the end of the Japan Expo.
• A dubbed trailer was also planned.
• Easily game of the show.

Bboy is over at the arcades for Dissidia. He's going to upload gameplay footage.

To be honest, I couldn't care less about Dissidia Arcade atm. Until its 100% confirmed for PS4 and coming to US/EU I'll reserve any interest until then.

I'm to see the first game of FFVII Remake next year too, 2017 is the 20th anniversary of VII after all.

We've already learned that the US and EU covers of FFXV will be this one...

Now it was confirmed these covers are reversible and the backside looks like this:

EU:

US:

Final Fantasy purists will rejoice.

I'll be making mine have the original title cover then. I've always preferred the simplicity of it.

 

[Tyaren]

I want the black background of the US version. :/ Looks much better than the white one. Though I do kinda like the default cover, especially the pretty colors.

 

[Jadeinchains]

I prefer the white background so I'm happy but the black one looks nice too. The default is nice as well but I like the classic covers of FF games the most.

I wonder who the blue mist thing is on the default cover one?

 

[UpSideDownGRUNT]

EU Final Fantasy covers have always had the logo on the white background

Here you can see them better:

These are very likely the three creatures you also see at the end of the Dawn trailer:

I wonder if they protect or attack the city... :/

 

[Nikotsumi]

I want the one with the logo and white background, I wish I could get that with the deluxe edition (which I'll probably get) instead of the Amano illustation cover :c

Doesn't the Amano cover look literally like vomit? XD

That's why I rather buy the standard edition.

That's why I'm hesitant xD

By the way, just found out in the full sized cover art that it is actually 5 of these mysterious figures, not 3:

Unfortunately there's no bigger version of the image yet. It would totally be my new desktop background. :/

Update:

The cover artist spoke about the cover:

Regarding the mysterious figures he had this to say:

"While I don’t want to spoil who or what they are, just know that they are extremely important to both KINGSGLAIVE: FINAL FANTASY XV and FINAL FANTASY XV. It’s much more fun for you guys to find out for yourselves vs. me spoiling anything!"

 

[XZero264]

They look like they could be Eidolons. Probably some kind of "God Council" at war with Eidolons given their size and just how big the damn summons are right now.

 

[HHH816]

i remember in FFX where tidus and yuna goes to all these temple to get summon power, perhaps the same thing with FF15

FFXV story is indeed similar. Noctis will have to find and defeat the summons, or astrals as they are called in this game, to have them as an ally...

But the 5 of the cover and the dawn trailer are not summons/astrals. The developers revealed as much before.

 

[Tyaren]

Okay, I have to shamelessly double post, sorry! >__<

In another forum someone just has probably found out who these beings are. Looks like they might be reincarnations of Final Fantasy VII's Knights of the Round:

Tabata and his team often stated that they drew much influence from FFVI and FFVII for this game and that these two games are the teams' favorite FFs. If these beings really are KotR we'll have to see if they serve a similar or different purpose

Wow, someone also mentioned that there are normally 13 KotR and that the game once was called: Final Fantasy Versus XIII And so far it seems as if these beings are opponents/antagonists and not allies. Might this be the real meaning behind the game name? O:

In the upcoming Weekly Jump there will be info about Gladios' little sister Iris and Luna's big brother Ravus:

Ravus looks pretty badass. O: He's the mysterious hooded figure in older designs:

 

[SilverForte]

Im really glad Iris will be in the game, I liked her in the anime and I think she'll be a good addition to the group.
