DTOID:
A few weeks ago, I was set loose in an early section of Final Fantasy XV ahead of E3, and I still have Florence and the Machine's cover of "Stand by Me" buzzing around my head. The sweeping track isn't just intended for trailers or commercials -- it's also in the game proper. It played as Prince Noctis and crew's car broke down and I manually pushed it to a not-at-all-close rest stop. Our road trip to unite two warring nations with a symbolic royal wedding was already getting sidetracked.

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.
Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
Final Fantasy 15's director has revealed why he left Square Enix back in 2018.
Hajime Tabata famously resigned from Square Enix two years after Final Fantasy 15 shipped in 2016. In a special livestream at the time, Tabata announced his decision to resign from the company, cancelling three of four new story-focused DLC episodes for Final Fantasy 15 in the process.
I liked it. I haven’t played the royale edition yet but I’ll get around to it one day.
I really believe 13 was better put together and more complete than 15 ever was.
Found the pathetic troll.
How is your jobless life going?
Dot worry, you will never get a job or a girlfriend haha!
Man inherited a train wreck and was expected to release this game in under two years after it spent a better part of a decade in development hell. At one point there was even plans to make FFXIII Versus a musical. He did what he could.
I didn't care much for XV and I always wanted the original vision of Versus XIII but I think the dev team did what they could to salvage the project
And yet people still blame him for the game turning out the way it did, rather than SE for the horrible mismanagement of 13 and Namura for being overly ambitious.
Whatever the behind-the-scenes went on over the many years, at the end of the day it was a radical change in direction that I could not go along with. Also why I never bought 16.
oh no , something positive about xv. delete this , quick
It's the first FF I've been interested in since FF8. The VR version looked awful to me though.
I'm still on the fence
Some videos swayed me this E3 but others put me off.
I'm excited for it.. after spending time with Type 0 HD, I learned to enjoy the action combat that game offered and was able to appreciate Episode Duscae's combat a hell of a lot more. I still need to catch up with the FF news so not sure if it's been talked about but the only question looming for me is just how story driven the game will be, Episode Duscae for example was almost entirely gameplay with it's only real story bit being the "don't go into the cave" then proceeds to go into the cave. I'm hoping that was deliberate, as long as this isn't the FF equivalent of MGS 5, I think it'll be an amazing game.
I know many people have been put off by this new FF move towards action-RPG but I am genuinely looking forward to it. I've been a fan of FF since VII and, for me, my enjoyment of all the games since has revolved around the story and characters more than the mechanics of the gameplay. Every FF game I've played (FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, FFX-2, FFXII, and FFXIII) had different gameplay mechanics that I had to get use to but none of them was a turn-off for me. I will definitely be putting this game on my wishlist for Christmas (time enough for patches to be released) and I look forward to this new FF story and world.
