Closely inspired? Those feel more like convenient coincidences. Four dudes and a prophecy similar to FF's feel simply like some nostalgia grabbing.
The image of the Four Warriors looking at the castle from the other side of the lake is legendary by now, you could remake it with every FF story and it would always feel relevant.
Not bashing on XV here, just that I don't see it and the links feel tacked on aside from "Four Warriors on a journey". There are no elemental fiends, no Garland parallel, maybe Luna could be Sarah?
If the world becomes engulfed in cataclysms maybe I can see it more.

FFXV is right now in the beautiful Lucca, Italia (@Hayabusiness 
) and there they had an exhibition with concept art of game regions we haven't seen yet:
OMG, I can't wait to play this game. >__<'

That was the only Final Fantasy I actually liked. Granted the first sequel was pretty lame and I didn't play the second one, but XIII itself was quite enjoyable to me. There are a lot of people out there who want to play Final Fantasy JUST to see the gorgeous cutscenes and have the story play out. I'm one of them. So I quite liked the linear structure and I'm happy that XV culminates in a similar experience. Considering the gameplay isn't a big draw to a big chunk of the gaming populace (just compare RPG numbers to shooters, sports titles, and casual fare like rhythm games or party titles), focusing it isn't a bad thing. I think they realize that and that's why they went with an action-style combat system this time.
I'm sorry to hear that. XD
Jokes aside, I enjoyed XIII at the time too. It was a good game (there's no really bad AAA game) but imo not a good Final Fantasy. It was after XIII-2 released and then Lightning Returns that I and many fans thought: WTF are they doing?! Are they mocking us to drag out the series/universe most FF fans just didn't click with? That fact made me and many others look back in such an unfavorable way at the XIII series. If there would have been just XIII I would have looked back much more favorable on it as some unique, quirky, experimental mainline FF.
Tabata did by the way some backpedaling regarding the linear structure of FFXV in it's latter half. It's not the latter half but towards the end of the second half that the focus will shift from an open world experience to the story. There will be some sort of train ride that brings the characters from location to location and story point to story point. So about 2/3 of the game will still be open, phew! And apparently you will still be able to go back to the open-world parts if you want to.

I can live with a structure like that. It's similar to how Xenoblade Chronicles (the original) did it to give the story more impact and the player more drive to actually finish the game and not drag it out forever with side questing until you completely burn out. (I never finished Skyrim and GTAV for that reason.) After all you could still do that all after the ending. FFXV seems to handle it the same there. After the ending you will be able to uncover even more of the world.

That exposition is inside Lucca Comics & Games, which is Italy's most famous (alongside Romics, I think) comic and general nerd things collection. The train ticket is expensive, the ticked for the convention is expensive, and the merch is expensive. Even if it's fun it's not always worth the money ffor me, so I go there only when I can, lol.
As usual, the desert region is the most beautiful.

I kind of doubt that.
Aww...:3
Aww beautiful, also Prompto has to go to the bathroom or stop drinking coffee because he never stops!
So I read this a little while ago, but I kept expecting one of y'all to post it.
The online they were talking about is co-op multiplayer. You'll take control of one of the other party members and play that way.

I did not hear this sort of rumor myself! Mostly rumors about plot events.
Maybe they meant four big regions? It would not be weird for the series standards to make the plot go in space but I doubt it.
Yes. That's from either 21 or 22 Jump Street. I forget. I think it's the second one.

@Russian-chiropractic19, this might interest you:
I really can't wait to try out all the different types of weapons, each with their own unique animations and mechanics and find my personal favorites. (The battle axe is so badass! XD) That consoles me for not being able to use any of the other characters in battle.

Well it seems you might be able to play as the other characters If that's what the multiplayer actually is. The weapons are interesting me as well, I wonder If it's like certain enemies are affected more by one or another?
By the way I need these!
