After a decade plus in the making, I sure hope it's good. I just wish they would start releasing them in PC at launch, instead of giving us crappy ports a few years later. Still,I'm glad I kept my PS4 for this one.

from the gameplay video it looks like they've gotten rid of the turn-based battle system.
the clueless gamer segment was funny though. ...i think the fractured but whole will get my video game money in the near term... ffxv can wait for a steam summer sale =) |

I'm looking forward to it... but...
You didn't like FF13? I admit that 13-2 wasn't great, but I enjoyed the first one and lightning returns... |

I didn't mind FF12 too much (the Ivalice tie-ins helped; FF Tactics and Vagrant Story are two of my all-time favorites), though I didn't like the main character. I thought 13 was a mess. I never got in to the story, didn't like the battle system, and after playing ~22 hours, I quit. Apparently, I never finished the "tutorial" portion of the game. |

I played the demo too. It's a huge change for the series but it was a really fun system that still had some depth. I've been a huge fan since VII so I'll be picking this up for sure.

Played 1-10 ( beat 1-7 ), about an hour of 12, and the failure of a game, Dirge. As SE went farther and farther away from what the original was like, the more and more I hated the series. The change in graphics look great, but the change in game play, not so much.

I prefer the turned based game play of the older games and not hack and slash active combat of the newer games. It's what I grew up on. I still own a PS2 just for the turn based games. FF, Lunar 1 and 2, chrono-trigger, Xenosaga, etc... |

The old days are gone, and Square won't be making any main FF titles with turn-based combat anymore. I guess it comes down to what you play these kind of games for. For me, it's always about the story first. Obviously the gameplay is important, too, but I've played a lot of subpar RPGs because they had good stories. Everything so far points to FF15 being an all-around great game with a deep combat system. Have you tried the demo? You might not mind the new combat system, and "real-time" or "action RPG" doesn't necessarily mean "hack and slash". |

Also, I got a Nintendo 3ds specifically because there are so many FF style games from the Japanese market since they're still very popular over there, might be worth looking into. |

Meaning must be different for you and me then. Hack and slash= beating stuff up with melee weapons. "the term "hack and slash" began being used to refer to early weapon-based beat 'em up action games" /shrug Scroll to 12:20 
EDIT: I'm familiar with FF and similar style games for cellphones, but my vision is not good and prefer to not make it worse by squinting at a small screen for hours on end. It's why I have a 55" tv and a 27" monitor. |

FF7 Remake is coming for PS4 someday - Amazon currently has Dec 29, 2017 for the release date. Though the remake is going to use a similar battle system to FFXV. I'd love to see remakes of the Square classics (Chrono Trigger, FF IV, V, VI, Tactics, etc.) where the only thing they do is update the graphics. |

If you ever get an itch for a more traditional FF game with "modern" graphics, FF X was very good (although they did away with the "world map" in X, IIRC). I enjoyed it more than VIII. |

My characters are level 9 right now. Going pretty much blind into this game, I'm very impressed with it. I haven't tried the "wait" combat mode yet but I'm enjoying the active mode; reminds me of Witcher 3. |

I'm off tonight so I've been playing
My characters are level 9 right now. Going pretty much blind into this game, I'm very impressed with it. I haven't tried the "wait" combat mode yet but I'm enjoying the active mode; reminds me of Witcher 3. The wait mode is my favorite. It isn't as fluid but it brings more classic final fantasy to the table as far as planning your actions out. Extremely impressed so far. Sure, there are some things I wish were better, but I was nervous it wouldn't feel like final fantasy, absolutely delivering there. The only thing I'm already not looking forward to is when it's over, also I'm mentally preparing for a FF VII Aerith moment. |

I played 2.5 hrs today. Love it so far. I haven't tried the wait mode yet.
One of my favorite things is listening to the old FF game soundtracks while driving around; it's a nice touch. |

It's weird. I care more about this cast of characters than most other games. If an ally falls I do everything I can to help them up.
The animations in this are amazing. The link attacks are fantastic. Combat is kind of a mystery to me. I'm not sure how it works entirely. I get the block and dodge mechanics but the general weapon swinging seems random. Some of the time I can get these really cool aerial combos and then switch to the spear for a big dragoon esque stab. The pictures are great. It is really nice seeing the characters. The general world movements the other characters do is great. They'll drop stuff, Prompto will take pictures, etc. The dungeons are fucking cool. The way the characters move in them is great and is very immersive. My only complaint is the music... I don't know if I've heard a single song from this game? I can't recall what the combat music is like. I'm not playing with high volume, though. I'm hooked. Love it. |

Holding circle (if ps4) which is your attack will continuously attack, and depending which direction you point on the thumbstick will perform different combos. Then you can string combos together. If you do these combos next to an ally you can perform the link strikes. The combos and link then can all change based on which weapon you have. |

Wait mode... this should be on by default! Makes combat so much easier!

I can do the exact same stick inputs every time and come up with different combos. It just doesn't seem to be consistent. I know that with the two handed swords I can get a build up attack by holding back but that's the only thing that's consistent. |
