Thanks to the newest issue of Playstation: The Official Magazine (#19), PSEmpire.net has the first screenshot and details on the unannounced Square Enix action game. Check them out and let the speculation begin.
It’s been a long road for Final Fantasy XV - formerly known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII before being rebranded at Sony’s E3 conference earlier this week. It’s hard to believe that the game was originally announced alongside Final Fantasy XIII back at E3 in 2006. Judging by the reactions on our forums it’s safe to say that, for the most part, its re-announcement has done much to quell the previously existing doubt that many felt towards the game - doubt built upon repeated delays and time spent outside of the public spotlight. But despite all of the positive reaction towards Final Fantasy XV’s unveiling, it seems that some have already decided that the game is a lost cause. I’m here to argue why this is not the case, why Final Fantasy XV deserves a fair chance.
Final Fantasy XV
60 hours single player gameplay + Online MMORPG

Chest Slider, Chest Physics & Treasure Chest included.
I'm ok with that if the online portion is separate from my single player storyline.
Only FF games I've played are FF 11 & FFTA2....
I'm looking forward to this FF game more so than any other.
I've known of and followed the series but never been a playstation gamer so never had the chance to play many or almost all of them.
Has Sega back in the 90's to so I never got to play the SNES ones either.
This game looks 10X better than that Lightning crap.
This makes a "non-fan" want to play this game...
It's almost = to the effect of FF7, but in a different way.
Because I trust Tetsuya Nomura. He's been with Final Fantasy for LONG time and he knows how to make amazing games.
It deserves a fair chance as a spin off but with the combat system I saw, it feels like yet another slap in the face to long term FF fans to call this game FF15. So many long term supporters of Square were just calling for them to go back to their roots and they do the exact opposite.
They did go back to their roots. The thing missing is the turn based system. Please don't try and tell that systwm was good. The com vb at system has always been the worst aspect of ff. The gamrs e known for storirs. Visual and the ovetworld. Messaging from android pleasr forgive bad A uality
it remains to be seen if they have gone back to their roots in my eyes, though i am very hopeful this game will recapture what was lost in ffxiii and be an amazing game! however i have to disagree on the battle system as i really liked the turn based battles of FFI-FFX where there was a large element of stratergy involved and you could control every character in battle...it made me invest more in their development and care about them more to some extent, whereas in fxiii i found myself focus on the main characters development more to talior to my play style and not paying attention to the others as much...maybe thats just me that misses them lol, though im very hyped for this even without them as it does look amazing
I don't really see how naming it a main title and not a spin off is a slap in the face. Yes, it's different in that it's an ARPG. Fine. But does that really matter, when the "main series" of final fantasy games don't even directly follow on from each other? Besides X and X-2 and the XIIIs, of course.
Ultimately it just says XV instead of Versus XIII now... that really doesn't change anything. All Final Fantasy games stand on their own merits. It's why fans of the series can say "my favourite Final Fantasy game was (Z), but I thought that (Y) was terrible" and still be excited for another one. Because it could be completely different to the one(s) they didn't like, despite it being the same series. Plus there's the fact that Versus XIII was a confusing title anyway. XV is much more straight forward.
Just seems like your point, well, isn't much of a point, honestly. No disrespect.
you said it you're self SPIN OFF
it was always meant to be a spinoff action RPG made by the creator of kingdom hearts
i still have no clue to why this is such a big topic now, its been known to be a ARPG for years...
FFDream had the privilege to sit down and chat with the creators of Final Fantasy XIII/Lightning saga‚ specifically the director Yoshinori Kitase and producer/screenwriter Motomu Toriyama. Their art director Isamu Kamikokuryou was also present‚ and he had quite a bit of input on Lightning. The three discussed the challenges of making the games‚ music‚ and direction they wanted to traverse.
Cool article. These guys never say much, so it's like a sip of water to someone in the desert dying of thirst. The enixorigin site is cool, so that's a nice source for me to now follow as well.
So hang on, they basically confirmed that Versus XIII is going to be on the Ps3 AND the Ps4...
IS this true? please dont tug on my emotions like that. I'm already unstable over them coming to the ps4 event and saying "please be excited for E3"
No, it isn't true. The article mentioned the rumours, that's all. (Although stupidly it did so in one of the answers of the interviewee.)
FFDream: Is Versus XIII still a part of the ‘Fabula Nova Crystallis’ project? Maybe released on PS4?
RP Team Japan: On “Versus”‚ as you know‚ the project is that of another
team‚ we can not tell you anything about it. (Note: Since‚ as we have
told you in another news report‚ informants have confirmed a double
development of Versus on Sony consoles current and future)
I think its just the site itself thinking it will be for the PS3/4. Personally, would like it to be renamed 15 and made for next gen.
Lightning returns, in my hope, should be the last of the FF13 brand-name and Versus should be SE's way of moving on.
Finally the brainfck is over release this sh1t & move on already.
/torture end -> /round 2! oh fck.. what now SE? ~.~
To Be Continued...
They want us to appreciate Lightning more. So does this confirm if we still don't give a shit that they'll make Lightning Returns Again?
From the pages of the Japanese publication Famitsu we get our second look at artwork for Square Enix’s new action rpg.
Hey kids!, we have this definitive super next gen engine called White Engine and...wait no, scrap that, It's now a high tech compendium of assets called Crystal Tools, the best engine eve...No, no... In fact we have this secret next-next gen almighty engine called Luminous Engine that is our secret weapon and...
*uck it, we're all CGI designers, it's too difficult, let's make an Unreal Engine game.
I think you can safely say the Square crew have just admitted that they aren't anything they used to be. I mean, using somebody else's engine? That's called lost faith in yourselves.
They have used the Unreal Engine before years ago in fact it's called The Last Remnant. If you are set on talking shit about something you clearly don't understand at least make a relevant comment.
I know when you don't make engines in-house you don't have experience and with that comes conforming your creativity to the engine and not it's fullest limits like good games.
concept art= the fuzzy channels of porn you cannot tell what is going on but you like where it is going.
Is this an old story?
oh intresting ...............
It seems Squeenix is wanting to get into action rpg's. Thing is though they are doing it all wrong. Wanna see a good action rpg? Look at Mass Effect,, sh*t look at God of War. There is action, and there are rpg elements. So instead of making garbage like Infinite Undiscovery, they should stick with their classic turn based games( FF, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Warrior) that made them who they are today, and make games like FF versus, kingdom hearts instead of making a cross breed in between cause they are really hurting themeselves more then they are doing good. Man I would do anything for a true sequel to FF7 or X. I guess Squeenix has their head so far up Microsoft's @ss that they cant see what the fans truly want anymore.
Nice draw distance!
that looks like a psp game if you ask me
