Final Fantasy XV: Cup Noodle XV Special Edition

[IceSylph]

If they still actually contained the entire game I would, given I'm on bandwidth-limited internet. Next three months here being spent slowly downloading Doom 20gb at a time.

Also the high reliance on nVidia BloatWorks makes me wonder just how performance hungry a lot of those features will end up being even at 1080p on PC. Hairworks in other titles already destroys your framerate. At any rate, it'll be a polished turd for that playerbase, there's just too much fucked with XV to be fixed at this point, they're better off either doing FFXVI or doing a XV-2 on a clean-slate using the tech they built.

Please don't give them idea. Let's just let XV fade away into the back of everyone's minds. Instead of FFVIIR, I'd rather them just do a new mainline game. VII is already good enough as is, there was no need for a remake in my opinion. Outside of $$$.

Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata teased something Final Fantasy XV-related for Switch during a Gamescom 2017 Twitch live stream today.

Answering a question about what other things are planned for Final Fantasy XV in the future, Tabata said while he couldn’t provide any details at the moment, they want to do as much as they can with the universe. He added that the development team really likes the game console with the name that sounds like “Twitch,” so it is something that they are properly thinking about at the moment.

Just give us a fix/expansion to the story already, goddamn +_+

[NynJa]

Do people even buy PC games anymore?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This actually looks more enjoyable than the actual game LOL.

[Krandor]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PC games sell about as much as all the consoles combined. Not everyone is a dirty pirate.

We are so going to get XV-2 and Noctis Returns with Lightning acting as Etro and Ardyn or Luna as Bhunivelze.

I don't even know what else this could mean, outside a few more Justice Monsters 5 type of games that contribute nothing to the franchise outside quick mobile cash-ins.

[Shenrien]

Maybe their next game will let us use magic without consequence to your party members.

[Alkar]

To me that sounds more like they're considering a spin-off for the Switch. Or they'll do the dumb thing (see FFXII) and make a sequel exclusively for Switch lol.

[Kirin]

If they're doing XV for the Switch, I would so rather them do anything else than the "Pocket Version".

That includes an Ehrgeiz sequel.

[Kaisha]

On the note of the PC release being filled with nVidia Gameworks crap, that makes me wonder how much dosh nVidia threw at SE, because Luminous sounds like it should have already been capable of a good chunk of those features going by the Agni's Philosophy demo from back in 2012. That or the state of that engine really is a mess and it was just easier to throw middleware at the equation.

Knowing SE's record with in-house engines over the last decade, probably option B.

[Alkar]

Or simply the fact that every other SE game is not using Luminous to begin with. Maybe they have a long-term plan for it but it's surely telling that KHIII and FFVII:R are being developed with other ones.

Edit. Apparently Tabata said that there's another "major" announcement coming in the next few days regarding XV.

SE's pretty much moved onto UE4 for everything else (actually, Japanese companies in general. Capcom/Bamco using it as well for some games). Only other thing using Luminous to my recollection is XIV:ARR, which forked off of it awhile back.

Edit. Apparently Tabata said that there's another "major" announcement coming in the next few days regarding XV.

Maybe they're announcing that Kingsglaive will be included free as a 50gb update and that explains the PC version's filesize bloat.

[Silenka]

It really is sad to see this game continue to be a dumpster fire as far as what SE is doing with it.
They could focus on story content and make the thing epic, instead they're focusing on...like everyone else said, stuff no one asked for.

Meh.

[Alkar]

Well there's rumors of an "expansion" so if you want your story it's likely there. This universe isn't going anywhere anytime soon, I just hope they actually expand on it instead of pulling time travel out of their ass and erasing everything with every sequel.
