Yeah I agree with the people saying it's not going to live up to the hype built around it. There's just no way any game ever could live up to THAT much built up hype.

I'd rather throw my PlayStation out the window then play a second more of FF XII. Blows my mind people like that game :S
I will admit my hype for XV died from around 2013 to 2015. I'm in the same boat as a lot of people here where the anime and movie have restored my faith and shown me that SE may actually be capable of telling a good story with this game. In the end, if the story and characters are good I'll be happy.
I'm looking forward to FFXII HD, more than the FFX HD collection since I feel the XII International version offered more of a new experience. Hell I still consider XII to be the last good game in the series, so in terms of FFXV, I've waited ten years to finally play a new FF that might actually be good.

Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I'm in the same boat except I consider FFX to be the last good game in the series. Honestly I haven't really enjoyed most games SquareEnix has put out. Only 3 I can think of I liked were FFX-2, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Crisis Core. Although all of those games are direct sequels/prequels of amazing SquaresSoft games haha
FF XV is Square Enix's chance to prove to me they can make a truly great Final Fantasy game.... I hope.
Oh yas, bring me that Zodiac Age goodness! When is that coming out again?
So one week....

I hope it's good, but my expectations are low. Not low about the quality, but about it being a game I'm going to like. I'm starting to get sick of these 100 hour open world action-oriented RPG with a bazillion repetitious quest games, though they are popular. But it might even be objectively bad. Who knows.
Regardless of what FFXV ends up being, I'll be happy once it is released because it will finally be over.

I mean, so far it kind of looks like the Xenoblade successor that I wanted instead of X, so yeah, I think I'm probably still the most hyped person here
I hate how the ending was already spoiled and the worst, by noticing some dumb youtube comment I couldn't resist and looked up what was spoiled about the ending. At first I was a bit disappointed by what I have read but apparently there is more to it and that made it somewhat okay for me again. I still need to actually see it for myself though. What I really dislike though is who the main villain is. I liked Barthandelus and Caius way more - design-wise.
Honestly, Barthandelus had zero charisma, making him a way worse villain that even the oldest ones such as Garland and the Emperor. And while I can't speak for Caius too much but his design kind of never grabbed me. Like he's this self-insert Dark Sue or something.
So judging by that, the villain is either much worse or much better. Hard to tell because of our differing tastes
I liked his incarnation as Dysley. It felt a lot different from the archetypical Sephiroth, Kuja, Caius, et cetera. And Caius because of his story and the very fact that he is the archetypical anime villain. So I like both sides. Sometimes.
I mean, yeah, Dysley was different in that he was old. But that didn't help in making him compelling. Because his motivations were vague, his entire design was forgettable, and not to mention the whole "haha, you may have thought I tried to trick you with that disguise but I knew it wasn't going to work all along, so all of you got fooled! Muahaha!" schtick, he just stands out as an incredibly weak villain and another reason why XIII just comes across as a whole bundle of wasted potential.
With that out of the way, I hope I manage to avoid any spoilers because I think that at this point I'm more excited than ever. Listening to the Abbey Road live performance and the soundtrack alone is enough to send chills down my spine that I haven't felt since the game's original announcement in 2006.
