Is anyone else fucking hyped for the Final Fantasy XV demo? I preordered Type-0 for this shit.

I'm so hyped for it and I don't even have a system to play it. I've been being real nice to one of my friends lately though for that very reason. :)

I can't wait to play it. It looks fan-fucking-tastic. I just hope it plays as good as we're all hoping it does.

I swear I'm so easily pleased when it comes to games, I have a feeling I'll love it. I adore FFXIII thanks to the incredible battle system, and then suddenly I find it is hated in all corners of the internet.

Lol I know exactly how you feel. When I first played XIII I thought it was the best thing since they came out with X. But as time went on I started seeing more and more hate for it and for some reason I started to hate it too. But square could probably reveal that they're going to take a literal pile of poop and stuff it in a game case and I'd buy it.
 
I wouldn't buy a full priced game just for the short demo inside it! I definitely plan on playing through Type-0 in its entirety, and from what I've seen, it looks like it'll be a sleeper hit. Looks like great fun.

I love the XIII trilogy. I'm secretly hoping they re-release them all on PS4/Xbox One so I can have an excuse to play them again.

I can't stress this enough. Not just with Final Fantasy games, but with all games there are often times when the ones that aren't part of the main series just get glossed over and forgotten. And there are times when these "side games" turn out to be even better than the newest main series game. So if you're going to buy Type-0 just for the demo, I beg you to think of the demo as only an afterthought. Play through at least a couple of hours of Type-0 before you even touch the XV demo.

It would be a damn shame if Type-0 was glossed over for the XV demo. I played Type-0 back when the fan translation was released and it is fantastic. It's really shocking how unique the Final Fantasy XIII conglomerate has managed to be.

I've since stopped playing it for the most part until I can support the official release, but it really is one of the more varied and fun Action RPGs I've played in a long time.
 
Final Fantasy Type-0 is one of the many games that makes me sad because I don't own a PS4.
 
No PS4 so no new FF games for me heh.
 
I'm probably not even going to bother playing the XV demo when I get Type 0, to be honest - it looks absolutely awful. I'm getting Type 0 because I'm intrigued to see if it actually warranted an HD upgrade, and because I need more PS4 games, not for a demo of a game that, by all accounts, is going to be extremely disappointing.

As for the XIII trilogy...I didn't hate them as games - I've played worse - but I did hate the cast. XIII would have been so much better if it had a proper antagonist, and XIII-2 would have been better if Hope hadn't been in it. Lightning Returns I'd stopped caring by that point and just concentrated on playing it, rather than trying to make sense of a story that made absolutely no sense. xD

I agree with pretty much everything you said about XIII, but I'm confused as to why you think XV looks absolutely awful and why do you think it will be extremely disappointing? With what's been released so far it actually looks like it might be the game we've been waiting for since the merge of Enix and Squaresoft.

Primarily because I don't like the look of the battle system, or the "guys on a road trip" feel that it has with its cast; it doesn't appeal to me at all. Square Enix have been all about style over substance for years, and I've come to, if not accept it, then at least expect it, but I was hoping for at least a decent female central protagonist this time around...we haven't really had one since Ashe in FFXII.

I can understand that. I personally thought the battle system was one of the main selling points to the game, as it has since XII. And hopefully they realize that "Lol my town got rekt lets go on a roadtrip" isn't an acceptable theme for a game and add more to it. Hopefully. We really can't get all that we want in a game, or else everyone would stop buying them because it's literally all downhill from there.

True enough; going into any game with expectations is a bad idea. But it cuts both ways - I don't think this is going to be the Final Fantasy game everyone is hoping it will be. People have been going on about FF being "dead" since X, or VII, or any other instalment, and I don't think Square Enix are about to miraculously change direction and start making "classic" RPGs again.

I don't think XV will be entirely without merit - no FF game has been, not even the almost universally hated XIII trilogy - but if I have any expectations, it's that it'll be just another JRPG in a long line of them; nothing exceptional, and certainly nothing memorable. I think Type 0 has far more potential than XV does based on the information provided, though.

It's only $20 right? How many hours would you say it takes to beat the game?

12 hours if you are going for complete achievement list, probably less if you don't care.

Don't worry, there is still time before PS6 comes out.

Type-0 > XV not matter how XV ends up.
 
Very simple question: do controllers die?

I wanted to buy a Genesis controller to play on an emulator but these things are so old that I fear they may be dying soon.

Stops working for good.

Button feel isn't as big of a concern to me because you can clean and rebuild the controller if necessary.

In that case, I'm pretty sure that the controllers don't die. I now a couple of years ago I bought a box filled with Genesis stuff. The games that were buried had all been smashed and cords and stuff were cut, frayed and tangled. Altogether the box was filled with junk that had just really not been taken care of. But once I had patched it up (all I really did was take some electrical tape to the cord) it still worked just fine. Stuff back then was really built to last.
 
I've never had a controller break...well, break due to factory defect, rather than outright misuse. I had a bit of a temper when I was youger, and it didn't end well for a couple of my controllers. But playing Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles by yourself was so damn frustrating. xD
