    Got it. xD

    It does sound like Sony trounced everyone else. Nothing to tear me away from being a primarily PC gamer to be honest, but they're definitely winning the console race at this point.

    Best looking Final Fantasy game EVAR! But of course the hate train "This doesn't look like FF" has to roll around. Good thing SE is moving forward in this direction. They have turn based games and whatever on other platforms. Go check em out. Stop complaining that the new AAA titles aren't using a combat system from the 80's and 90's. This may seem like counter-whining on my part, but this was probably the best thing the Japanese side of SE has put out in a decade or more and it's total BS that there are some FF fans deriding it before it even comes out.
    is it really a surprise it is the "Best looking Final Fantasy game EVAR!"??? It is on the most advanced system... meaningless statement. And you can not possible know NOW that this is "the best thing the Japanese side of SE has put out in a decade or more".

    All you can say is that YOU think you will like it. I like Rocket will prefer not to go crazy over a tiny demo on a game that is 7 years old, and reserve there right to not be overly optimistic about it. Sure it looks like it could be good, but we don't know anything yet.

    Only thing I'm a bit miffed about here is the addition of required PS+ subscriptions for going online to multiplay. However, AFAIK, it's cheaper than LIVE and has better stuff to go along with it, and XBone+LIVE is still like £100+ more expensive than PS4+PS+ (for one year of subscription).

    Not that I game online very often. Buuut if everyone I know is crowding onto the PS4, then it might just be worth my time/cash. :3

    This is just getting mean now. Not only do they have a cheaper accessory, but they HDD is swappable. As far as paying for the online, it's expected. There have been rumors for a while, but it now gives the people that have already been paying for PS+ a slight motivation to maintain it besides it already being an incredible service.

    Gotta love being an early adopter.

    Hence the "it seems" considering it was in their own video.

    It's also subsequently been confirmed.

    That article also highlights that it's down to the publishers themselves to determine their used-game models. So it's possible that third-party games on the PS4 may have DRM similar to the forced one on XBONE.

    True. Tretton's statement seems like it's really 'more of the same' vs forced DRM. XBox One is forced from the console. PS4 is basically a more powerful PS3... not much is changing in that aspect.

    well they showed gameplay:
    FINAL FANTASY XV - Battle Gameplay First Look (E3 2013) - YouTube

    IT'S THE TEAM THAT MAKES KH, why are you expecting it to be anything other than a ARPG? Are you people waiting for some glorious FF6/FF7 return to turn based combat?

    And as someone who bought all the major SE games over the past few years (FFXIII, XIII-2, XIV) and even their PSP offering right upto the end, I can say with confidence that they have set the bar LOW. Can't get much crappier then whats been sh*tted out so far. The Eidos division of their company has nothing but my sincerest respects.

    I definitely don't have a problem with ARPGs. I just hope that we still have the "RPG" elements in it. However pretty it is, however fun it is to play, I want people to talk to, towns to explore, and sidequests to go on. And that, unfortunately, is what we have not yet seen in the trailers.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Both of these points have been touched on in interviews today - the world is apparently pretty epic and open world in scope and whilst the game is an action RPG they are trying hard to keep the FF feel:

    Well, good.

    And I do understand that "walking around town talking to people" isn't usually what one would put in a trailer. But I have to admit, had they had such a section in the FFXV trailer, I would have stood up an applauded.

    I'm just happy the game's coming out, but I would go a step further than Skyblade. I don't want them to stop with giving us towns to walk around and talk in, because we shouldn't have to ask for that as RPG fans. I want them to give us more to do than fight monsters and talk to people. I still enjoy FFVII to this day because the characters are constantly doing different things, whether that's driving a motorcycle, running an excavation operation, or surviving an arctic expedition. It's the variety in gameplay that made JRPGs a special genre in the late 90s, to me, and would really make me ecstatic about this game.

    Eh, that's not bad. It's cheaper than it is in the UK going by today's rates.

    I'm more annoyed about the price compared to what Americans will be paying for it. Even if you include their sales tax and whatnot.
