Final Fantasy XV (was Versus XIII)

[Ghost X]

I think what was said is that the terms "fal'Cie" and other stuff from the FFVIII mythology won't be included, but the basic concepts will remain. I probably totally butchered that account though.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Well, both the Lightning Saga and Type-0 did make use of the fal'Cie and l'Cie concepts, but to different effect. Still, they appear in both, so mayhap they will appear here as well.

I am going to be severely and sorely disappointed if I don't get my fal'Cie in this game.

...

I'm going to be severely and sorely disappointed, aren't I?

I was sorely disappointed when they stopped making FF games with Triple Triad in them.

I never compromise on Triple Triad! Not even the FFIX imitation!

 

[Obsidian Fire]

^^Triple Triad was easily predictable, the FFIX game had a RNG at it's core... yeah, so much for that.

 

[Strangelove]

if there are fal'cie they probably won't be like ffxiii's, like how type-0's l'cie were different

 

[Skan]

So something I'm not really clear on, but how exactly are these universes connected? I haven't played anything after FF12, but are FF13 and FF Type-0 and FF15 connected in the same way that FFX and FF7 are connected, or is the relationship closer than that?

 

[Strangelove]

it's not like ffx/ffvii, since they aren't directly connected. what they did was took the bones of a general mythology, and each project put a different spin on it. (in ffxiii l'cie were people chosen by fal'cie to perform a specific task who would transform into monsters if they didn't accomplish it; in type-0 l'cie are people chosen by crystals to follow their will and could live for hundreds of years, if not forever. type-0 didn't have fal'cie iirc, ffxiii didn't have the concept of 'finis' which was a big part of type-0).

 

[Tetsujin]

Which is why the FNC is such a stupid concept because 'stories that are not connected except they share a few elements' is what FF is already doing in the first place.

Type-0 has just two fal'Cie. One for Pulse, one for Lindzei.

[Ghost X]

So, this game is going to be episodic? I recall something being mentioned about "Duscae", but I guess I totally do not recollect anything beyond that. Is the second episode going to be called Nightae, and the 3rd Dawnae, and so on? . I await the episode Late Afternoonae, because something big is bound to go on then.

Inb4 badumtish.

 

[Tetsujin]

It's not episodic, that's just the title for the demo.

 

[Lex]

still can't stop laughing tho

All hail Yoko Shimomura, the next best fit for Final Fantasy lead composer

 

[ForceStealer]

I withhold judgement until I hear a proper Prelude, Victory, Chocobo, and FF Main Themes. But it sounds damn promising.

 

[Lex]

OH GOD ITS SO BEAUTIFUL

 

[Ghost X]

My only hang up is that it sounds a little too KH-like. Having said that, the part of the trailer where the airships fly in and the accompanying music that goes with it... that's made of the purest awesome.

 

[Tetsujin]

Can't wait to hear some field themes...

One example of hers from Xenoblade:

 

[Blade]

I hope this game has references to older FFs... especially FFI which is like my favorite of them.

 

[Hisako]

My only issue with Shimomura's stuff on FFXV at the moment is that a lot of it has a Wagnerian/classical feel to it, which is great but a great Final Fantasy soundtrack has always tackled a range of different styles, often on the same disc. Shimomura definitely has the range, let's just hope she uses it.

 

[Blade]

....I just realized something.

You can probably run monsters over with a CAR.

 

[Ghost X]

Or trash your car by smashing into them, and then simply get a paint job to fix the problem, and shake the cops off your back too.
