Final Fantasy XV (was Versus XIII)

[LicoriceAllsorts]

The PS store doesn't sell it as far as I can tell.

 

[ultima espio]

It’s definitely there. Try googling FFXV PSN. I found it that way.

PSA: If you're trying to find just vanilla FFXV on PSN, you won't find it, that version is delisted and replaced with the Royal Edtion, which is the bundle that has base game + DLCs, the base game can not be purchased separately (but you can download the game and DLCs separately).

Damn bastards...

My wallet hurts

 

[Makoeyes987]

.... Uhhh... That's a bit much. I love the book and art design of it all but that's not worth 200 bucks.

It seems they're heavily overvaluing the acrylic display and designer case. Like, I don't mind high end collectibles but that's simply absurd. There's no way such mass produced products will fetch anything close to that value. It's all acrylic and plastic for a glorified art and interview lore book, that will more than likely have it's contents leaked online. XV's popular but I'm highly skeptical demand will sustain that special edition's value, let alone exceed it.

Sometimes I wonder about Square's collectors logic.

Maybe if they use the profits from that collector's edition to release those cancelled DLC episodes, I'd buy it

I am fucking TEMPTED

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Thanks, Lulcielid! I was under the wrong impression that the Royal Edition on PSN was just the additional content and not the base game, so thanks for putting me right.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Another addition to the collection!

[The Twilight Mexican]

So, the price was reduced by $20 and I bit the bullet. =\

 

[Makoeyes987]

So that is how you would end it....

FFXV performance on PS5:

Game finally runs at a lock 60fps on Lite Mode setting (1080p/unlocked fps) + frame pacing has been fixed

Load Time
PS4: 1 minute 20 seconds
PS5: 29 seconds

Fast Travel
PS4: 32 seconds
PS5: 14 seconds

---------------------

Compared to Xbox Series X, FFXV runs the same on both consoles but loads on average between 10-20 seconds faster on XBSX.

Release of Kingsglaive with a visual update.

[cold_spirit]

Wish it included Brotherhood like the steelcase edition, but I'm totally down for watching Kingsglaive again.

Wonder if that means Advent Children will get a 4K release soon...

I will have nightmares of 720p upscaled to 4K tonight O__O

 

[Tetsujin]

I assume Kingsglaive is gonna be an 1080p/2K upscale. Which isn't uncommon for most 4K releases still.
Usually for the 2K upscales it's the HDR that still makes the purchase worth it.
That being said, I'm not crazy enough about Kingsglaive that I'd buy it again.

And Advent Children can fuck right off with its mostly upscaled 480p footage, if they ever do that in 4K they better re-render the movie to justify that. Although I wouldn't put it past them to have displaced the original files altogether. Wouldn't be the first time.

 

[Makoeyes987]

I doubt they would lose the original files for a film. Considering that was done entirely separately from their video game division, they wouldn't have need to crunch the data and save space. That's an entire intellectual property and work that they probably used as reference for other films like Kingsglaive.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I'm worried I may be downloading FFXV in French.
Probably be a good thing. Good practice.

 

[Glaurung]

I guess I won't have Castillian version. Pity. The voices were really good. They didn't hire the usual anime bunch you find in Sgt Frog, for example and realities, those were top notch voices.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I'd forgotten how much I love the music in this game.

 

[Lulcielid]

The game comes with 11 language options for text and 5 for audio in all versions and region of the game, so you can change to english (or other) in the french version if you need to.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Thanks, I've realised that!
Maybe it's because I'm a parent, but that opening scene with Noctis and Regis made me cry. Regis sending his son away knowing in his heart he will never see Noctis again; Noctis keeping it casual because that's his style, and he's eager to get on the road with his pals, and he hasn't grasped that his father is dying. None of them know the seriousness of their situation. They're just kids, even Ignis. It's really moving.

For me it's also the "Drautos, he's in your hands!", not knowing what would happen the following day. It's a pity they never explored in game the ramifications of having half your army turning on you.

And that we never get a proper revenge with an epic battle against Drautos. It would be dope asf.

 

[Glaurung]

I would have given anything to have a battle against him.
