Final Fantasy 15 Launching 9/30 on X1/PS4, Still No PC Version

The Final Fantasy 15 event just ended, and:

• This game looks absolutely amazing. 10 years in the making wellspent
• The music is great (the main theme is Stand By Me)
• The game's English dub includes Lena Headley and Sean Bean (Cersei and Ned from Game of Thrones), as well as Aaron Paul (from Breaking Bad) EDIT Only for the tie in CG movie!
• The game is getting a tie in anime that serves as a prequel. First episode available now.
• The game is getting a full blown CG movie
• The game is getting a free demo, available now
• The game is getting two Special Editions
• The game is out on September 30 on PS4 and Xbox One
• Still no PC version
• Airships confirmed!

This will probably be GotY 2016, folks. Unless Atlus do the impossible and actually get Persona 5 out this year.

finalstar was right.

Regarding a PC version:

“Really?! Where did you hear this? If anything, it is a misunderstanding. There will be no PC port. We never planned for it. The game is originally developed on the PC first and what we said was how the pre-beta works very smoothly on the PC and now optimisations are being made (just like any beta testing would be like) for the consoles. Please do not misunderstand.”

“IF a PROPER PC version is to be made, then many changes have to be made and a lot of things have to be reconsidered before such a move can be made.”

ow

it's ok i like the 30 fps experience more anyway

As of right now....fucking day 1.

I cannot wait! FFXV, Quantum Break, and Cuphead are the only day one purchases for me this year, and there's plenty of other games I'm looking forward to this year that's coming out, if that says anything. I'll download the demo tomorrow.

so they have been releasing FF games on steam over the past 2-3 years for shits and giggles? im not buying it.

Oh my, it has Lena Headey. My ears shall orgasm now. Her voice is magical <3

@charizard1605:

lies, demo is not out now. And where is the anime to be found?

mama :P

On Topic, mmm FF XV

Jesus Christ, Aaron Paul doing voicework for Final Fantasy? Now I've heard everything...

The CE is $270 and the Deluxe is $90.

Demo is up. It's 3.7gb.

Do we know this for sure? The way they made the steam sound was that they are all in the movie, but the movie is happening parallel to the game, and we aren't going to see these characters much during the game.

HERMITS DON'T GET SHIT...GOOD.

Preordered the Deluxe Edition.

I was tempted by the CE, but holy hell, I am not paying ~$300 for a videogame. :>

Let the begging begin.

Crystals, bitch!

lol what. That's the price of the console you need for the game.

Wait, are Cersei and Eddard in the movie or game?

@Chutebox: The idea I got was just the movie, they kept mentioning the movie and never said anything about the game.

I thought Aaron, Lena, and Sean were only announced for voice work in the movie King's Glaive.

Pre ordered the standard edition. Might have got the CE but it might not run as good on og PS4 as PS4.5 so forget that...

Damn, got my hopes up.

Though it seems weird that they would have different voice actors for the game and movie, which means that either those characters are not in the game, or in the game very little. OR the voice actors are doing the game as well.

Everything they said suggests that they are just in the movie though, which is a shame.

Expect the worst, hope for the best?

Aaron and Lena are only in the Movie not the game I think.

So I just looked at neogaf, and they pointed me towards this:

http://www.gamestop.com/ check the ad, and turn off add-block. Notice it says PC. So either they screwed up and put it on, or they screwed up and revealed it.

My guess is they messed up putting it on, and it won't be revealed (if it is at all, which I'm pretty sure it will be on PC eventually) until closer to the game release or a delayed release on PC.

Im always right :)

Truly the darkest timeline.

It's all of the sudden going to be game of the year because it has a huge marketing budget? The anime stuff, the movie, and the high-end actors are cool, but it's all just there to build hype for the game. Let's not forget how FFXIII turned out. Yes, FFXV has had a playable demo, but it's hardly a representation of how the final product will turn out.

Good news to those who are still fans of the series, not so much those who only have PC tho

@JangoWuzHere: Why did people dislike FFXIII though? Because it was linear and the game played itself for most of it till end-game. People have played Duscae, I've played Duscae and those worries of being like FFXIII were buried in the first 10 minutes of the demo. Sure some people will still not like FFXV but the majority are pumped and are gonna be enjoying FFXV on Sept 30.

Why are they using a wired PC controller to show gameplay of the game?

@Zidaneski: don't forget FF XIII storyline as well was horrible. I'm hyped about XV and I don't seem to have the same doubts about it that I had about FF XIII before it came out.

Look how hard Gamestop is trying to sell the X1 lmao.

Felt like I was playing a slower Kingdom Hearts. And the 15 must stand for the framerate it's running at. Good jesus.

Music was nice.

Demo is out now, downloading now.

Pre ordered the ultimate edition.

Day fraking one, the demo looks awesome, gonna dl it later

For those who havent seen the new trailer

Wow, is it safe to say that this might be one of the few Japanese games where the English dub will be better? Because I'm thinking it will be.

It might be day one, it depends if their is a version coming to NX. If that's happening I'll wait for that one.

Nice they got Sean Bean in there, seems like they're more serious with the western release, I don't remember them getting big Hollywood names like that for previous titles.

So it's safe to assume Sean Bean's character will die, yes?

On a side note....

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/win-this-final-fantasy-15-themed-xbox-one-from-mic/1100-6436168/

That's one fugly console.... but I'd take it.

Eh, likely sell it on ebay tho. lol :P

I think this is the first final fantasy I've actually been interested in playing for a some time. I think it's the revamped third person action, blink combat with that teleporting sword and the God of War style fantasy scale.

I almost freaked when they revealed the date and it stopped at November for a second.

don't care who it starts i want the japanese dub

@da_illest101: I find most FF games to have a pretty bad story, I find most video games to have pretty bad story actually, aside from The Last of Us, Shadow of the Colossus, and Beyond 2 Souls (Beyond was still a horrible "game") So I don't expect FFXV to have anything close to a decent story but as long as its game mechanics are solid and has a lot of content, people will generally be happy with it. It may not be GOTY but it will easily be nominated.

@charizard1605: Hate to point out this sad news, but it's been confirmed that Lena Headley, Aaron Paul and Shaun Bean are only voicing their roles in Kingsglaive, the full game will use a different cast. Why this is the case is beyond me, we know Lena Headley and Shaun Bean would do it as both have voiced video game characters in the past. Probably just Squeenix been cheap.
