I'm lying in bed listening to the Final Fantasy X soundtrack and it's so relaxing and good! I hope XV has a soundtrack like this.

I don't know if it will be particularly relaxing...but it will certainly be one of the best game OSTs ever made. I think that should be pretty clear to everyone by now. A little reminder:


There is by the way a worrying rumor that the FFXV Pro update will only allow 4K checkerboard rendering and HDR (which the regular PS4 can do now too). No other mode with additional graphical bells and whistles... :/

Yeah It depends, There's relaxing songs on the soundtrack but then really hype ones so It's nice, Hopefully XV has a wide range of really good songs.

So are you getting the pro or getting XV for the original PS4?

Also the song it's on right now is the calm before the storm.

I'm still not sure. :/ I guess I will wait for a decision until they actually confirm what the Pro patch does and when they show us direct feed screens or a video of the game in Pro action.

The game went by the way gold yesterday! :) They improved everything they wanted to improve and it is basically finished now. They will send it off to certification and then it will be pressed on disc and ready for release in a bit less than two months.
Wouldn't a one month delay have also done it? :/

That's great to hear! That's like the end of an era for this game to finally be gold. And yeah the delay could have been not as long but at least it will be soon. And yeah just wait until we see footage of it to see the comparison of them both. I can't wait to play it.

No, obviously the smartest thing to do from a business standpoint was stick the game right after pokemon and black friday just for the Pro and VR.

Who knows, maybe they'll move the release to late October. Probably not but :p

Thanks for the corrections. Although I must say when I talk about FFVII I tend to keep the compilation prequels and sequels out :p
Especially since the flashback scenes at the Nibelheim reactor are amazing in the original game (all of them! Even the fake ones).

Although I thought Sephiroth could control Cloud's body due to the Jenova cells in him, much like he did with the Sephiroth followers. Or did Cloud just have mako in his blood? It has been a while since I played.

It's cool no worries. FFVII isn't my favorite game (unfortunately I don't have a favorite FF because almost all of them are good in their own way even if not perfect) but yeah I enjoyed it a lot.

He could which is why he has the whole puppet strings ability thing that he's got going about (Sephiroth voodoo as usual). There's a few points in FFVII that isn't exactly explained properly that even resulted to have different side stories in place to explain it. Cloud has Mako in his system from exposure which is why his eyes glow. Exposure to Mako can lead to genetic mutation (Vincent), poisoning (stigma), affecting the brain+memories (Cloud) or ultimately death (various SOLDIERS). Genesis and Angeal were part of a unique enhanced project labeled G while Sephiroth was experimented with raw ancient Jenova cells from a cetra Jenova Project by professor Gast with Hojo completing it using Mako. Mako is more or less a condensed liquid form of the lifestream with side effects because it's energy harnessed illogically. Since Cloud was part of that project, it's probably why.

Oh god, I don't want to dig into FFVII complications trilogy anymore rofl.

The creature design is so amazing in this game. Notice the faint adamantoise in the background? O:
Please, please let this game have a beastiary, with 3D models. That would be the most awesome thing. (It probably won't. XD)

And there's no day without a new FFXV gameplay stream. XD Today 10am PST/19pm CEST there will be a stream on Twitch. It is apparently showing off the most recent build and there is supposed to be an "exclusive reveal".

Here's where the stream takes place:

Are you with me @Jadeinchains/Johnny? :D

Lol I just woke up a Little while ago and had 19 alerts! XD

And yeah I'll watch it as well!

The bestiary though omg that image is amazing, I love those animal size comparison images so its good to see a XV one! :D and yeah I see the Adamantoise and wow is it gigantic. That flying bird is a lot bigger than I expected!

And I'm really hoping for a bestiary too, I want 3D models and some lore information on them in it. I kniokniow they usually just have their weaknesses etc but I'd like lore. I best there's lots of creatures we haven't seen yet so I hope it's that when you see a creature it gets added to your bestiary.

It's strange that they haven't mentioned one yet. :/ You'd think they would have long mentioned it. People also have been playing the game and they didn't mention one. .__.

IT Crowd is amazing! XD

Hopefully it isn't just a product placement though, If no ones mentioned a bestiary hopefully it's not in their build and that's why or they just didn't notice it. Didn't a developer say there was a bestiary though so hopefully there's one.

Well, there were actually a lot of things that they locked away in the demo builds. For example remember the pretty limited looking sphere grid. In the newest version that is playable just now at a convention in Belgium people are reporting that it now is a lot bigger and looking pretty different. So maybe they actually just disabled a bestiary. :)

Hopefully that's the case then, I'm also actually really excited to grind and level up, I like that feeling of progression and getting new magic etc. I'm happy it's a sphere grid type one because I understand how they work.

There are abilities in the grid that you need 999AP for, like limits breaks. It seems to be oriented for completionists and people who like to play hundreds of hours. :) I wonder how long you will play it until you will eventually go back to DOAX3. XD

Donut come for me, The way doax3 works it get's new stuff every two weeks and I can get the stuff I want in a couple of hours so It isn't gonna get in the way at all... you shady B.I.C.T.H :p

I enjoy the grinding in JRPG's surprising since people seem to look at that like a bad thing so I'll enjoy getting to the highest abilities. Limit breaks will be amazing! :)

Lol, where do you find all these gifs? XD

Speaking about sphere grids/ascension grids, here are some recent screens someone sneakily took of the retail build:
