    Default What are you worried about?

    Whether you're like me and super pumped up for a new FF, or whether the series is on its last leg for you, what worries you about the upcoming Final Fantasy XV?

    Are you worried it will disappoint you? Are you worried Lightning will be in it? Are you worried about Noctis' hairstyle?

    I'm worried about the battle system because I'm not too good at that type of battle system. That and the huge summons and monsters. Also about the shortage of female characters

    I'm worried they'll have flat characters. From what they've shown already, I don't think that'll be the case but the biggest hangup on the XIII series was that the characters didn't have the same hook for me as the previous entries. They weren't complex enough.

    I'm worried I won't have time to play it once it comes out. And that it will only be half-polished like the first FFXIII game.

    I'm slightly worried it just won't come out at this point, haha. I keep expecting to wake up one day and just see a message from Square saying "Sorry, XV isn't coming out. We've decided we're done with the FF series."

    I'm not worried about it. I'll play it when it comes out, and I'll judge it on it's own merits then. I have no expectations of it, because if the changes from VII through XIII are anything to by - expect the unexpected is pretty much the motto to approach any new FF game with.

    I'm frightened it will be another duke nukem forever or Diablo 3. Neither game lived up to their expectations. I'm worried a lot of things will be broken/buggy, and I'm worried that the game will feel incomplete and patched together like you can tell it took 8 different directions during it's development cycle, and worried the game will also feel out of date/look old. I'm also worried about reading reviews about people giving it a 4 out of a 10 XD;

    I'm also worried the game wont release till 2032. Or square tanks and cancels it completely.

    But aside from those worries, I do have faith it will be really good and will blow people (who have been doubting it/bashing it) out of the water!

    I'm worried that I won't like it that much. I don't really like action RPGs or any battle system that involves too much button mashing. I'll still play it before I make any judgments though.

    I'm worried the combat system will be overly dumbed down in favor of making it more cinematic.

    At the moment, I'm not worried about it, because I don't have anywhere near enough information about it to make any kind of reasonable judgement. I forget how many years its been in development now, but Square Enix STILL haven't really released any substantial information about it. I don't really worry about games persay anyway...after all, if I don't like it, I'll just sell it and play something else.

    If I'm worried about anything, its that the soundtrack will be as dismally sub-par as FFXIII's was. A JRPG just doesn't feel the same to me if it doesn't have an epic accompanying score.

    Yoko Shimomura will be the composer. They did Kingdom Hearts, which has an awesome soundtrack. So don't worry about the soundtrack!

    Even with a good composer, I still worry a bit about it. After all, Motoi Sakuraba is a fantastic composer, but his work across the Tales series is practically identical. It's like the whole four-chord thing going on with pop songs - it all sounds the same, at least to me. I'd hope for something a bit more...unique. Like NieR's soundtrack, for example. Something that doesn't make me wonder if I'm listening to another game's OST by mistake. I'd also prefer not to hear variations of a single song used for almost everything, as was the case with FFXIII. xD

    Pretty sure FFX did the same thing as well!

    I really hope the world is fleshed out, and that there will be sidequests, things to do other than "whoa, big monster, kill it!". I'm worried that it will be all about "big scary monsters and summons" and forget about elements that make FF great. The small scale, character interactions, little easter eggs, side-quests. I worry for those elements.

    I'm not so worried about the music, because Final Fantasies generally have a stellar soundtrack, and Somnus from this game is very good.

    I've given up on the FF soundtracks. I haven't liked any that much since X. Since then I've liked maybe one song in each game, if any.

    That it will suck and people will pay money to play it anyway and Square will just keep making games that suck.
