Quote from: Taelus on April 28, 2014, 04:23:25 PMI'll admit, I barely even glanced at FFXV's characters, because the way they look isn't really of much interest to me. Lightning looks cool as hell, but she's about the blandiest bland that ever blanded a bland. Zidane has a ruffle and a tail, but he's the most awesome character around, for a positive example.Perception is a bitch. But I like both with their quirks and everything.

Lightning had a quirk?"Worst birthday ever" is the only one I can think of.

And I guess that's fine, or rather, I don't care anymore.
Stylish action = Stlyish clothingQuote from: Blace on April 28, 2014, 02:40:55 PMI could see them taking a step back with the next one and going back to roots.What, you want another FF like V and IX? Because those two went back to the roots and were like "Hey remember those charming medieval settings and lovable characters?". ARR covered the 'back to the roots' people lately, now if those people don't like MMOs then... *shrug* I don't know man.All they have shown of XV constantly shows that SQEX as a company wants a fresh start with what can be considered 'a new kind of FF' and they hope people in general will like it. The only guy that can ruin a big of chunk XV for more than one person is Kazushige Nojima, since he has always been a hit and miss scriptwriter.Nomura also do some weird shenanigans sometimes, but I can't say he has done a bad job as a director (not yet anyway).

I'm really worried about how the game is going to handle Noctis basically starting the game with super powers (from what I gather). I even find it hard to explain why I'm so stuck on that. I just feel like it would hurt the gameplay somehow even though I trust the team knows what they're doing. Or maybe I just really like the feeling of upgrading to new equipment and I feel like maybe that won't be a part of the game because of Noctis' abilities.
At least there's this 42-year old dude giving me hope.

Also +1'ing the dislike for the roving Japanese Boy Band that are the PCs of FFXV. Sure they're meant to be a posse, but I don't really feel like playing a Japanese Soap about a posse when I could just watch one of those instead.
Few people actually stick to their words. If the game is good they will buy it and eat crow.

I know that very few people who threaten to boycott a game actually follow through but losing interest in something is pretty different. Even if they hear it got good reviews they might wait until a sale to pick it up. Less of a "Stick it to the man" and more of a "Probably safer to buy something I know I will like"

Less of a "Stick it to the man" and more of a "Probably safer to buy something I know I will like"This is my mentality with a lot of titles and series now. I'm very interested in FFXV, but there's no way I'm paying full price on release, simply because I haven't enjoyed the series as much as I used to, not because I have anything personally against SE.
