Topic: Final fantasy discussion thread

@Kidfried Well, while they didn't go into detail, S-E did say fairly early on that DQXI S would have some sort of exclusive content, so it's not like this came out of nowhere.

I think it's fair, considering the massive disadvantage this version of DQXI has in launching more than a year later than the others (and, like, 2 years later in Japan). It's not like purchasers on other platforms didn't get access to a full and complete game. None of the stuff being added is going to alter the gameplay experience in any substantive way.

It's the same reason it made sense to me that Rise of the Tomb Raider launched on PS4 with extra stuff, y'know? It's like a way of saying: "Sorry for the wait."

Of course, I'm sure driving hardcore fans to double-dip is definitely a factor as well.

The changes to Zodiac Age will directly impact gameplay, though, and, as I said, it's stuff that should have been there in the first place. It's not really "extra content," like in DQXI S, so I do think it should be patched into existing versions of the game.

@Kidfried In fact, DQXI was the fifth game confirmed for the Switch, and was announced before the system was even officially unveiled.

It was originally supposed to launch side-by-side with the other versions, but... yeah.

How would your feelings change if S-E pulled an Atlus and the DE was confirmed to come to the PS4 as well as the Switch? Or would it be annoyance about having to re-purchase any version of the game at full price?

The season pass of FFXV still comes with comrades. I bought the pass and royal upgrade today because of the sale and I can confirm.

From absoloutely nowhere FF XV EPISODE ARDUN HAS BEEN RELEASED!!!

https://store.playstation.com/en-gr/product/EP0082-CUSA01615_...

10 euros

Ahhhh downloading NOW!

@Feena A news article is needed since it was launched ... quietly.

Anyway I also couldn't help myself and bought it. Too bad the Luna episode was cancelled.

This thread ain't the same since @FullbringIchigo left. Come back mate.

I finished Episode Ardyn. I really liked it. It has two endings that are not very different. The first chapter has a nice synopsis of the worlds lore and history with great voice acting.

I really can't help myself as far as final fantasy is concerned and got FF7 again on the Switch even though I have it on every device imaginable. I was thinking to use the no encounter cheat for a casual (due to the portable nature of the device) low level run. I may be tempted to keep the materia usage to a minimun for some extra challenge in the boss fights. Of course I won't also use Knights of the round.

@belmont Finished Episode Ardyn...I was kinda blown away by it tbh. It's great: great story, gameplay, characters and OMG the soundtrack! It's definitely FFXV's best dlc imho and one of the best "moments" of the whole game. With this quality, I am even sadder we won't get the scrapped DLCs.

Does anybody know how many points will give me the BEST score after finishing the game? I got B but I was very proud of my wreckage of Insomnia.

@Feena Yes a lot of people made fan of this whole 2019 dlc but I would love to see more, especially the Luna episode. As far as the best moment of FFXV is concerned my favourite one is the alternate ending of episode Ignis.

Hey i'm back, after that trailer i had too because i wanted to share this

you can see the Materia IN the Buster Sword, that is some awesome attention to detail

did anyone else spot anything?

@FullbringIchigo Eh, I only really like that detail if all weapons have materia slots. Plus I dont like how materia seems to keep changing size. Decide if it's the size of a ping pong ball or a tennis ball. Unless it comes in all shapes and sizes, in which case it'd be weird having precut materia slots in weapons and gear.

@kyleforrester87 i saw you ask about where this battle is taking place in the comments section and thought maybe here more people would answer

first off i'm not sure where it is, looking at the picture there is a strange thing growing on the wall and what looks like barred windows and cargo containers

it COULD be the underwater sub but i doubt they would show something from that late in the game so i'm thinking MAYBE it's under the Plate, either after they jump off the train or on the climb up to Shin-Ra HQ

@FullbringIchigo yeah the sub is the only place I can think of that might look like that, but it’s an unlikely place to show in this trailer. I think the sewers is the most likely place (seems early game based on damage numbers but then the characters HPs are also post Midgar high, could just be placeholders though).

Still, it’s an odd look for the FF7 universe.

@kyleforrester87 i thought it was the sewers at first but Barret is in the team and he wasn't there at that point and when you take into account other parts of the trailer showed the sewer section with Tifa and Aerith in the team so i figured it wasn't in the sewers

@FullbringIchigo I guess if you've got weird mutant monsters it makes sense to create environments that would look like mutants live in them, so it figures they'd add a bit more slime here and there to the industrial environments.

@kyleforrester87 true

still can't figure out where it is though

@FullbringIchigo After further thought I reckon it's probably most likely this area which I think you were suggesting earlier.

Just gored up a bit.

@kyleforrester87 yeah probably

still it interesting to think how other areas will look now, i wanna see Wall Market and the Train Graveyard

i can also see why Square dropped CC2 and moved in house, the Square design are a much better fit than the CC2 ones

not that CC2's is bad they just don't look FF
