Really excited!! I really love jrpgs and FFXV looks brilliant!
I preordered it, and have been trying to avoiding news about it. From what I have seen and played with the platinum demo, I'm a little nervous about it though
Tomorrow cant come soon enough. Ten years
Hmm, the status of my order for the Ultimate Collector's Edition worries me, still not sent...
i pre-ordered this years ago, i have waited a decade for this game and tomorrow it will finally arrive, i can't wait
@finalstan who did you order with
I've got it preordered but I think I'm fortunate that I don't really have the same "10 year" expectation others have. I'm pretty sure it'll be a decent game with a beautiful world so looking forward to it
I hope others can calm their expectations a little
@finalstan :/ thats a bummer sorry to hear that dude
Errrr...yes I'm buying FF15. Two copies, actually. One for my PS4 and one to grind up in my Nutribullet and enjoy intravenously while I sleep.
@finalstan Direct from SE, by any chance? My copy hasn't been sent either. From looking at their Twitter account it seems like the website isn't being updated even though the game is being dispatched. Hope that's the case anyway! Pre-ordered with them rather than GAME so my money went direct to them, so it's be pretty disappointing if it didn't arrive launch day. Fingers crossed.
Anywho, been reading a few reviews today and seems like it's really splitting opinions. Personally I'm looking forward to it, and haven't felt excited about a 'main' FF title since IX. The Brotherhood anime really sold me, seems like the relationships between the main characters has been really well fleshed-out, and the game world looks absolutely spectacular. Curious about the PSVR sections too!
Is this gonna be single player? I've heard it's gonna be online only. If it is online only I'm not really interested...but if not, I may try it at some point (and yes I know FFXIV is online only. I'm not getting them confused).
Gonna play it over crimbo, that and Dishonored 2 are for me perfect games for 10 days of smashing it.
Already got it.
@Giygas_95 Yes, it's online only, but I'm waiting for the iphone version myself.
@kyleforrester87 ruthless
@kyleforrester87 I sense sarcasm...
@Giygas_95 It's mostly single player
@kyleforrester87 Okay. I haven't been following this game much so I was wondering which it was. I like good RPGs though (that don't involve being forced to play with other people. I'd heard this was an MMO). Thanks.
Off work tomorrow, so I decided to get the digital premium edition on top of my preordered physical copy as I want to actually play the game & not wait for a download (I have a horrible internet connection, 2+ days for diablo 3).
I only started following FFXVs development after the rebranding, but I'm excited by the vision square have for it. Didn't play any of the demos & only saw a few trailers. Simply based off the movie, the anime & the KH battle system I'm sure this game will be great.
If someone gave me a PS4 and the cash to go buy the game, I totally would. I haven't been following the game as much as I would like, but it's been something I've had interest in since the early Versus XIII years. It does look stunning and good, and I'd love to play it.
@FullbringIchigo Square Enix it was but @SegaBlueSky put me at ease a bit. We'll see.
Na, I'll be too busy playing Rock ‘N Racing Off Road DX.
I just started playing and I love it, the battle system which was my biggest worry is very smooth and enjoyable!
Already got it downloaded !!!
@finalstan well i'm having the same issue with GAME, i don't normally use them but i wanted A Kings Tale so there was no other choice
they better not mess this up
Already preordered deluxe edition a couple of months ago, I'll cancel it if the reviews are bad, but since the reviews seems good I'll take it
I'm double posting this just in case anybody missed it an hour ago and can save a few $.
For anybody in the US still on the fence it's currently $50.99 on Amazon. that's the regular price, it's $47.99 w/ Prime.

Plus you can get some cool items by playing the weirdest minigames ever on their RoadTrip website.

Looking forward to this more now the day is here!Funny,cuz I was more hyped about World Of Final Fantasy but haven't even started that one yet but I'll prob start FFXV if it comes tommorrow.
@finalstan I ordered straight from SquareEnix site too so shouldn't worry because I had no confirmation my order had been sent for World Of Final Fantasy and received that on time.
I will pass. The Final Fantasy series has been junk since 7.
@Tasuki I never saw that coming.
Whos biting all their nails that the Royal Mail dont mess thus up? I cannot wait. Biggest release this gen.
I will pick up my pre-order tomorrow but I want to watch Kings Glaive first in my deluxe edition. So probably want start playing till Saturday or Sunday with my work schedule.
Not sure yet, 13 was quite boring so I'm not rushing in, will see what other people think first.
Too busy playing these backlog games in glorious 4K on the pro to buy anything new that isnt The Last Guardian!
I had to preorder in store today at GAME because they sent an email saying it may take 3 to 10 days online due to Black Friday or some such nonsense. I've been looking forward to this more than any other game on PS4 so far, especially after playing the 3rd demo and getting a glimpse of the Pro enhancements.
@Tasuki more COD for you then?
Kinda spoilerish: is it real that there are only like 4 outfits for each character?
@AFCC as long as one of them a purple dress that shimmers I'm happy
I've been a FF addict since FF2(US) and have played each non-MMO release religiously when it comes out. But honestly, I was not impressed by the demo (at least by the gameplay). I've seen some people say combat has been greatly improved but personally I'm in wait and see mode.
Full hype mode engaged. I haven't been this excited for a game since the original Skyrim release in 2011. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be good.
@Neolit Yeah, I'm more excited for FF7 as well. The last Final Fantasy I played (Aside from BD1 & 2!) was type-0, which I really enjoyed despite its many issues. Still, can't wait for 15 tomorrow.
It looks to play more like an action game than a RPG, so my interest is pretty miniscule.
Maybe I will get it at some point, certainly not at full price though.
@kyleforrester87 Honestly I have so many games in my backlog now that I want to get to, including both Shenmue games. Besides as I said once they went to 3D its just hard for me to enjoy them anymore.
@Tasuki Fair enough, perfectly valid position. Calling everything junk since 7 is just so incorrect, though.
I'm definitely looking forward to FFXV but not picking it up right away (Christmas is destroying my wallet). Mostly want to finish the story set up in Kingsglaive and the "wait time" mode is exactly what I was hoping they'd add to the combat.
Na, I really disliked the combat in the demo and it still looks the same to me now, the camera is a fiddly mess too. I'm actually quite surprised by the review scores it's getting, though.
When I was a child I had a fever................
@themcnoisy me, i really REALLY hope Royal Mail don't screw this up
Wasn't too bothered but Rob and Hollie from PlayStation Access have convinced me to give it a go. I'll wait till it's about £20 in 5 months or so. Stupid haircuts though.
Nope. Tough to think of any game I'm less interested in.
@kyleforrester87 LMAO! Man I just wish that a game with 30 plus hours has a bit of customization
I'll get the complete edition next year for 30 bucks
Backlog's too big and I have no desire to play this game right now, so I can wait. Meanwhile Square Enix can sort that DLC and season pass BS out and I'll get it when it's all included on the disc.
Nope, I wasn't interested in this 10 years ago when it was called Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and I'm not interested in it now.
I heard that only the first half of the game is open world, which means after that first half, they may go right back to linear crap. I cancelled my pre-order after reading about that. It's not just that though, Square Enix has had just a horrible habbit of crapping on the Final Fantasy series after FFX. I may just hold off on this game until I hear more of the pros and cons of it. The open world to linear mess is really bugging me though.
@Kamikaze_Krunch the last 15-25% is linear to tie up the story. Then back to open world to tie up the loose ends, for which I read there are many.
Only game I care about ten years later is Shenmue 3. There is even a bigger chance of me getting TLG than this.
Not in a hurry to get it, but get it I shall. I have a few stuff on my plate right now, and Dragon Quest Builders is probably my next PS4 game, but FFXV was one of the reasons why I got the console in the first place.
I've never been into jrpgs, but I'm genuinely excited for people who have been waiting so many years to play it. I imagine that I'll have a similar feeling with The Last Guardian.
@CloudNine
Yeah, seconded on that. I am more likely to wait for the GOTY / discount / bug fixes on this and other big games now, because so often jumping straight in to big titles is a bigger disappointment. I am not surprised first week sales are down across the board, I feel that it's a natural pushback at the "drink in the hype and pre-order for a beta build to please our shareholders!" mentality that's seemns so prevalent at the moment.
@FullbringIchigo did you get your copy?
Come on postman! Your Xmas bonus is riding on it you dirty fat t£#4. I want it NOW!
No time to dedicate to a new jrpg at the moment. I will probably buy it along the way.
Also, apart the score, I am not too convicend by the reviews I red
Just bought the steel book special edition from Argos £45 bargain, installing it now
@finalstan Mine arrived this morning after only getting a dispatch notice at 1am, hope yours has arrived OK too!
@themcnoisy You give your postie a Christmas bonus?
@themcnoisy actually it just arrived, Day One Edition with A Kings Tale
so there goes my social life
Mine just came, cant wait to get on it tonight - It's Dominos two for Tuesdays too
There are many games I'll happily pay full price on day one for but this isn't one. Definite bargain bin game for me!
Hope everyone looking forward to it enjoys it
I'm going to get it eventually, but it's not an urgent priority for me.
I bought the special edition PS4 it looks great but i first need to finish World of Final Fantasy.
@AFCC Yeah you can customise your car.
@kyleforrester87 FML - apparently it was dispatched. Apparently my postmans getting a slap tomorrow. I've never owned a dog, but I'm loaning that dangerous dog from the dogs home to tear this postman a new a&%(ole.
I need a JRPG fix so I wii actually buy the game today despite my distaste for the series since VII and the fact I hate much of the work SE's studios (aside from Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics) have done. Still, I did enjoy FF XII and Crisis Core was one of the games I bought a PSP for and I really enjoyed that game as well. Since the combat isn't turn based nonsense, I'm giving the game a chance. It's just a shame I'm positive it won't be as good as the FF games from the 8 and 16 bit days.
@themcnoisy Doh, it might still rock up. Just buy a copy from local shop and when it turns up from Amazon either return it or take that copy back to the local shop and refund it with your receipt lol
@kyleforrester87 I wish I could be that bolshy but unfortunately I'm a good honest human being.....
Who can't get to a shop until 8pm tonight.
@themcnoisy Yeah taking it back to the shop you didn't buy it from is a bit underhand but sending it back to Amazon aint no thing
never benn a fan of the saga, on the other hand, i'm really excited for next week!
been*
@themcnoisy I share your pain, I pre-ordered from Amazon way back in July 2013. On Saturday it said it had dispatched (a bit early as I'm in N.Ireland) and still no sign of it. This is the 4th game recently that didn't arrive on the day of release, the others being Uncharted 4, World of Final Fantasy and Here they Lie, all games I wanted to play on day 1.
@feral1975 its crazy bad practice for THE GAME COLLECTION (that's the company) hopefully they add MISSING as the second word. Phoned them earlier and I've been told to wait until tomorrow as it was sent first class or some bull ship, cheers and I'm never buying a game there ever again. Fuming bro. Well at least I can play RL tonight with the pushsquare clan and bought P4g digitally so I may shoot that up too. But yeah Im not amused.
@themcnoisy that sucks. Still, I would have totally gone and got a copy and sent the other one back when it turned up. At least then you aren't paying them for it. You are more patient than me when it comes to new games haha. Hope it arrives tomorrow. I'm installing as I type......
Just got back from the store with a copy. Also received a download code for that A King's Tale tie-in which is actually a pretty fun beat-em-up.
@themcnoisy Whenever I have bought from the game collection my copy has always arrived early. I hope you aren't kept waiting too long my friend, I'm curious to hear yoyr impressions.
Nah. I'll pick it up when it hits the bargain bin.
@Gamer83 completely forgot about that extra game! Best pre-order bonus I think... although I wish I could buy Zidane's mage mashers from ps store (u_u)|
@SegaBlueSky Yep, received my box yesterday, it's gorgeous, but have no need for Noctis' figure so will try and sell it relatively cheaply on Ebay. The rest I will keep, looks amazing. I've received so many Black Friday orders that didn't have time to play yet!
Got my copy mate woohoo @kyleforrester87
And I'm off work. Boo yaka shaa. Slightly happy right now.
@themcnoisy Nice one mate I'm sure you'll be wanting to watch Kingsglaive after Chapter 1 lol
@themcnoisy great now have fun, i'm loving it so far
@themcnoisy
Still not arrived for me yet
@FullbringIchigo @kyleforrester87 Yeah great game, that beginning though was the worst, just what the hell was the point? The big fire and then your dad sending you off. It was all done in 60 seconds then your slapped in the middle of the desert? Oh well the game proper is brilliant though and I've just driven the regalia. And yes you can drive it so no idea why its been reported you cant.
@feral1975 gutted for you mate, I was devastated yesterday as pathetic as that sounds. As a gamer and a lifelong FF fan these times come around too few so I was genuinely gutted. I would be on the phone demanding a refund and peg it to the shop man.
@themcnoisy yeah i drove it a few times but i tend to let ignis drive the long ones, that way i can chill and listen to classic Final Fantasy soundtracks
@feral1975 that sucks mate, you should contact whoever you brought it from ad find out whats up
Once upon a time FF was my absolute favorite franchise, but it's been 10years since the last one I truly loved came out (FF12). I mean there haven't been many since then, but actually nothing Square Enix put out since then has captured my interest. I am getting FFXV no matter what, but i'm not especially excited for it. I was excited for FFXIII and well that was a bit of a disappointment.
I'll be waiting a year or two for the price to drop down to $30 New, as usual.
That aside, I am excited, hoping to own it when I get my PS4 next year during Black Friday.
@FullbringIchigo It was Amazon, recently they seen to keep underestimating the time required for deliveries to Northern Ireland, so I have given them an earful, hopefully they might do better next time.
@feral1975 did you use the live chat function to contact a person directly, i had a problem once where a delivery never arrived and i found using that get's it sorted pretty quick
@FullbringIchigo
Email, hopefully the message gets passed up the chain.
@feral1975 that could take a while, i suggest you contact them via the websites chat help function it will go a lot quicker as they will try and sort it then and there
and if you do, once the chat is over make sure you have a e-mail of the transcript sent to you as proof of what was said
