    Moomba Boys Club


    I'm interested in seeing this dynamic of a boys club. We always had friends in the series before but it was always a mish-mash of randoms too. This seems like the mostly know each otehr, this could lead for some more interactive and interesting interactions with each other.

    What do you think of this "boys club" that seems to be a big part of XV?

    It might be interesting. I do enjoy the little touches like the high fives or them calling each other out to dodge when attacks are flying around. I'm interested to see how the party A.I. is going to work out and hopefully Nomura will keep his word and allow the player to switch party members on the fly like in FFXII.

    I'm just reminded of the Berenstain Bears and their "No Girls Allowed" tree house whenever I think of it.

    I like the guy beating up the car in the background.

    I was just thinking that too, Torij.


    Yeah I hope they allow us to change like in XII, I really enjoyed that. I hope there is stuff like this little highfive and stuff in the AI as well. I think that would help with the immersion. It'd help make you feel more connected to the characters if they are more connected to each other.

    Character interaction is absolutely vital, imo. Previous games feel a little lifeless without character interaction. And having them occur in battle situations makes battles feel less grindy. That gif is actually really cool and has me feeling that spark of excitement.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    Yeah was just coming to say, it's great watching Gladiolus pounding away on that car and it's good to know they can interact with objects in the game world and they won't be static.

    I think it's a fascinating and untried dynamic for a FF game. I know a lot of people moan about a lack of female characters but I don't think it matters what gender the party is. From the way all of Noctis's childhood friends and mentors seem to be male, and that nothing has been said about his mother, I wonder how sheltered a life he has led and how often he has interacted with females. His scenes with Stella could be compelling viewing as a result!

    The more we discuss this the more I get excited. The AI dynamic seems awesome.

    They better show me stuff at E3

    I seriously loved the little lines in FFXIII during battle. "Thanks Vanille!" says Sazh. That's something so tiny and trivial but it really does make you feel like the people are growing together, you know? I'm delighted they're expanding on that.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    It's the small things that really make a game excel, in my opinion.

    You all need to stop getting me so excited for this.

    "Thanks Vanille!" says Sazh before he uncovers the truth xD

    I did like that it FFXIII though. It shows that they're working together as a team. It certainly seems like FFXV is taking character interaction to a new level for Final Fantasy and I'm excited to see how it pans out.

    Wait, his name is Gladiolus? *snickers* Do we call him Glad for short?
