|
 |
| Quote: | Yoshihisa Hashimoto, Square Enix’s Chief Technology Officer, has lead the charge into the next-generation for the company with the Luminous Engine that will host games such as Final Fantasy XV. A PC version is currently undecided, but “collaborations” with Luminous Studio are planned for the future. The game, as per the team, will require a top of the line (expensive) machine to run. It’s because of this, that they want to see what the “demand” will be from the PC audience (which is your cue to let them know that you want it).
Previously, Final Fantasy games were developed on a “lead console” and ported to other systems such as Final Fantasy XIII. Final Fantasy XI was originally designed to fit within the capabilities of the PlayStation 2 and its hard disk drive, though support outside Japan was dropped when the console’s production eventually ceased. Such is the case with a Final Fantasy XV Xbox One version.
While Sony has touted PlayStation Vita will support Cross-Platform Play with PlayStation 4, Square Enix is considering the handheld for use with Final Fantasy XV. In addition to Vita, tablets and smartphones are on the table for various features.
Combat in Final Fantasy XV is taking a turn for more action as the above gameplay video illustrates. The team has taken a directional shift away from turn-based or time-based (ATB) combat for an entirely new direction. The team commented that one feature being added to the game is the ability to climb onto monsters in battle. A concept similar to this could be seen in the Final Fantasy Versus XIII 2011 trailer when Noctis was able to use combat vehicles (tanks, magitek). Noctis uses a behemoth’s horns to launch himself in the air in the newest gameplay trailer above.
You’ll also be able to switch between the three characters in your party at any time. Noctis, Gladiolus, and Prompto have been featured in footage thusfar, but we have yet to see the return of Ignis in combat or the newly-revealed Cor.
Final Fantasy executive producer Shinji Hashimoto hopes that traditional Final Fantasy fans won’t be disappointed and will embrace the shift away from Active Time Battle (a 22-year old convention) and Square Enix is looking forward to hearing feedback about the action-oriented combat. He also assures us that we will be hearing more about the game soon, and that the “dishonest” days of withholding information about games in development for months is at an end. |

I absolutely love the FF series. Is there any petition or anything of sorts going on yet (like in the case of "the division")?

I love Japanese games but ultimately, the more games on PC the better. So I really don't care about the action approach over ATB. The trailer looks great too.

Unlike The Division, Destiny, etc. I legitimately believe them that they are unsure whether they would like to release a PC version, and I wouldn't be surprised if they never do.
Japanese devs you see..

When it comes to Square and FF - doubtful.

We already had Dirge of Cerberus with similar gameplay.

Give me a petition and I'll sign it happily, it's about time Japanese developers stopped ignoring the PC. FFXV looks immensely fun, even if I am a bit iffy about the devolution from classic FF to "action based"

Here is the actual quote: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/06/19/why-final-fantasy-versus-xiii-became-final-fantasy-xv
Interestingly the game currently seems to run on a PC that could be even faster than the consoles. Their strategy is a) make super high end PC version -> b) downscale for consoles/PC etc. They are porting down, instead of up.
| Quote: | But what of the decision to make the former-PlayStation 3 exclusive available on Xbox One in addition to the PlayStation 4? "Previously we proceeded with development based on the capabilities of consoles like the PS3," he revealed. "Now, though, we're developing on DirectX 11, not based on the PS4 or the Xbox One. This lets us develop full-spec without worrying about individual platforms, then port it to each console in the most appropriate way. As a result, the original Final Fantasy XV runs on a pretty high-spec PC, and how close a console gets to this original depends on its specs.
"The idea is to keep our options open; if a console comes out in the future that can recreate the original, we can handle that. It's the opposite approach from your typical 'multiplatform' project which bases itself on the specs of a single console. Currently [a PC port would] require a pretty expensive PC, but if we get a lot of people in the future who want to play it with full specs, I think we can discuss supporting that." |

I guess it's time to discard PC gaming unless you're running eleventy 780s, since apparently a console's 7790/7850 is the rough equivalent to a Cray Micro.

I am really sick of that to be honest. Making a PC port that requires 3 times faster hardware to run normally than the console counterpart? Fuck that. I'd rather buy a PS4 then, pay once and play whatever, than upgrade the PC every 6 months so I can keep up with their crappy port jobs.

I guess problem is that they don't want to make good PC game/port, with different set of textures and options that allows you to configure game for you hardware. You know, the usual, normal must-be stuff for PC which consoles lack.

Being a big FF fan, I say bring it on! I will admit that I did not care for XIII or XIII-2 (the former still being better, IMO).
Bring the game to PC's and let the master race deal with performance as we always have. PC gamers always "find a way" around poor development. Well, usually anyway.

Come to think of it, PC game never was "done right" for PC, haha. There is always a "workaround" for every game people care enough to make these workarounds.

Looks boring. Final Fantasy died with FFX2. Unless FFXIII2 is better than FFXIII...

XIII-2 has a more Final Fantasy feel to it than XIII did, but it's still just... meh.. basically.

I LOVED Final Fantasy XIII. Spent 60 hours on the playthrough. Tbh, next to FF XI, that is the one I enjoyed most.

I really disliked FF13. Quite a bit, not only was the combat quite boring, granted it had interesting aspects "later on in the game". The story had so many gaps, and was poorly written. I don't even understand how a game such as FF13 was given the "ok" to be released.
On the other hand "FF15", has always looked promising. The game was announced in 2006, and it seems to have a lot of exploration, which FF13 Lacked. I'm hoping that it is released on PC. Because after I purchased a PS3 I swore I would never buy another console.
Same goes with fighters as well, I hope with MK9 coming out on PC will bring more fighters to the PC.

I didn't really care for the story behind XIII either, honestly. I really only kept myself playing because it was a) an FF games and b) it was a "nextgen" FF game and it really did look good. VERY linear until late in the game it seemed like which I really didn't like that much. A lot of it just felt TOO corridory.
I don't mind being lead to another area (like times in the beginning of the first FF, NES) where they cut you off from full exploration at the start, but open that up soon, please. And let me farm/grind my characters up if I choose to. Don't limit me from ever doing that. If I want to put forth the time/effort to make myself more powerful, let me! It's my time and that's how I want to choose to play it. Afterall, if the combat is fun, the grind isn't so bad and dare I say, enjoyable?
XIII-2 just outright runs like shit on the PS3. Maybe it's because I have the FAT PS3, I don't know, but it takes forever to load a level and even when it's "done", it still stutters like a mofo. Dragons Dogma does that to (I heard DD:DA resolves some/most of that, however) and I was really bummed about it. I could probably get into playing XIII-2 if it wasn't so slow.

Is XIII really that linear? Much worse than X?

ing down games for the mindless.
) - I wanted to finish off the series, play through XIII-2 in "anticipation" of XIII-3 (or Lightning Returns, whatever they're calling it) It's just not a good Final Fantasy game, it really isn't
