GET HYPE! While Gamescom may have kicked off with Microsoft and Xbox, the event has far more to offer in the days to come. And I happen to know that many a JRPG fan around these parts, are wearing their brown pants in anticipation of a new look at Final Fantasy XV.
So here’s the latest trailer for Square Enix’s long in development game, and the first proper core Final Fantasy game in the series since 2010’s Final Fantasy XIV, if that counts. To be honest, I’m more concerned about that dog. Show me more of the dog dammit!
This post was written before the trailer went up, as a bet to see how right I’d be about the content that would be inside of it. My money was on crystals, swords, a cute dog and protagonists with flawless skin. If I got any of those right, then Geoff owes me R50.
Final Fantasy XV is looking kind of good so far. And that may be because the title looks like a successor to that underrated PSP classic, Final Fantasy Crisis Core. More of that, and less of Lightning please.

Cash cow? When will then franchise stop? Too much of a good thing… is not wonderful. EA and Ubisoft is realising that – time to wake up Nintendo, Sony, and Sega.

Yup. Have to say that trailer did nothing for me. Other than make me wonder why the dog has a gps attached to its foot. Perhaps it mounted the wrong poodle?

You’re joking right? Fans have been playing these games for 28 years and will always want more. Even the much maligned FF13 trilogy sold over 11 million copies. They should carry on making FF games for as long as there are fans that want to play them.

I want to be like that father and son, immune to the affects of rain… Would be nice to see some of the actual game and not just cinematics. No idea why they still do that.

At first glance I thought they dragged Jeff Bridges into this.

Is this another Destiny expansion? Because the thing in the background at around the 2:39 mark resembles what they showed about Destiny, and the kid becomes a king, the taken king?

What about this game reminds you of Crisis Core? I’m not seeing it.
I didn’t expect them to set the story up like this, it’s intrigued me. Give me characters I can care about.
