/jrpg/ - Japanese Role Playing Games

Very much, I haven't been hyped for an FF game since IX and they seem to have an understanding of what people want.

I agree, though I mostly think it's Nomura who has an understanding, not Square as a whole. Being one of the most prominent members of the FF team during the classic era left at Square, I think he's probably the only one capable of producing a game like this. Hopefully it will live up o his words and will be the savior mainline FF so desperately needs right now.

FF hasn't been hard since IV, so I'm not exactly sure what they're trying to get at.

IV is the second easiest FF after XIII

>>36
There are like 4 versions of FFIV, so it depends which one you play. Admittedly, most of the ones we get over here were easy, but playing a fanlation of the original version of the game will kick your ass a bit. Then again, Japan took our easier version, made it even easier, and released it as FFIV: Easy Type, so it seems like Japan had some trouble with the original release too.

I'm looking forward to it. As of right now, my FF fix is a combo of Tactics, IX, Bravely Default and Vagrant Story.

No.

I want to be excited, but I don't like the direction they've taken the series in, at all.

I'm tired of urban j-pop inspired clothing.
I'm tired of small-chested female protagonists.
I'm tired of an entire cast of homogenous looking characters.
I'm tired of them trying as hard as they can to forget their roots and ignore turn-based combat.

I don't want to take a road trip with a wealthy boy band killing dinosaurs on the way to a date with some blonde flat chick.

I want a cool-looking character with a ridiculous and unique weapon traveling with interesting and often inhuman characters who each use the FF job system in interesting ways and *AT LEAST* one curvy female character with something larger than a C cup (and preferably not a brown-skinned bunny.) I want them each to have interesting, compelling storylines of their own, and dialog that doesn't make me cringe like Advent Children's did.

>>61
All valid points though I do like my flat chested qt3.14s.

I will still give it a chance but I don't think they quite seem to understand what made FF and are trying to appeal to this fanbase that doesn't exist and never will exist because they want AAA numbers.

>>61
flat is justice!!

Honestly the only reason I care is because it's four dudes on a roadtrip - the premise is appealing (but the premise of Lighting's Return was appealing and it was a crap game) - but the info about the blonde woman and everything else sounds crap.

Though I agree with >>61 the J-Pop character types are rather tiresome.

Fran had a noticeably flat ass for brown sugar trying to show it off.

English VA trailer if anybody wants a laugh.

How are these breasts for size?

45min stream of FFXV

Starts at 33:47

My moon sucks so I didn't get half of what they were saying but it didn't seem that bad but it was mostly what I expected. I wanted to see a bit more of the world.

>>183
Speaking of seeing more of the world. They've shown more footage here with an English translator.

Starts at roughly 1h37m17s

1h04m22s has Type-0 HD footage

They've been showing off more of FFXV at PAX/GDC (I don't remember which) and all I've realised is that the party members names are fucking stupid.

Not sure how long they expect people to run around on foot trying to get a car in a massive field without it being boring. Everything new I see about it makes it less and less interesting.

Type-0 HD comes with a demo of it, so there's that.
