Come on Square! I love this game to bits but you could at least make the mouths move when they're talking! Bothered me so much when I was playing the Pocket Edition on mobile.
Yeah and that's what makes it even worse. I played those on the DS and the mouths looked completely fine. Heck they even lip synced it to the English dub! This one doesn't get the same treatment.
Chayyiel Maybe you're playing without VA enabled? Because I just looked at cutscenes from both the Android ports of IV and the After Years and they both feature moving mouths. While The After Years had no voice acting, they still moved the mouths during cutscenes (well, at least the major characters).
What do you mean? As in a way to just watch the cutscenes? That would be pretty cool, if you do mean that, although it wouldn't be good for watching the game as a movie, since a good chunk of the story is done on the move.
Actually I meant, restoring the cut cutscenes in proper places to tell the cut story, and making new ones to actually tell the story in the first place. I mean, there are trailers with scenes we don't get in the game and hell, I'd even appreciate more Kingsglaive in the the game to give us a little more Regis if anything. The whole game is just so shallow.
Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition.. On a PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. I don't know about you, but I don't usually carry around those systems in my pocket. And.. Why would you get this version if you played the superior version? I mean it's good to have options but dang. Lol. Love FFXV though so.. Meh.
tbh it's probably because of the crybabies who bitch when one platform gets something they don't. Example: Releasing the Avatar system for the solo gameplay on PC had a lot of console players literally crying all over the XV reddit forum about how they were ENTITLED to have that system on PS4 and XB1. They didn't care about system limitations. They were "entitled" (literal word used). By releasing this on all consoles, it's cutting a lot of that out. XB1 makes sense though, because people can play most XB1 games on their computer. Switch makes sense as it's a portable console. PS4 is just to satisfy the babies.
LOL fair play. It is a great game. I just think that it would be amazing if there was a new world Lann and Reynn stumble across and have to help Noctis out. Instead we get a ‘HD’ version of a game that many have already played on iOS which is actually already HD.
okay, the idea is creative BUT there is NOTHING new about it! Fans love FFXV but we'd like something new from the game - not the same thing but chibi :^/
You can't play XV on mobile or Switch. This allowed them to expand their market. I'm not sure why people who claim to love the game are so against them trying to expand how many people can enjoy it. BTW, I've played both. This version is nice to play if you're sick and in bed, or just trying to wind down to go to sleep. I like it. The fact that they did all they could to leave the main story intact is incredibly admirable, esp since the cutscenes run in time to the full game.
Square please release Pocket Edition on Steam, I know it is available on Microsoft Store but a lot of people have their Final Fantasys' collected on Steam. I would buy it right now.
Agree with you 1000% Square did Octopath with Nintendo, for f***'s sake. Why couldn't they have gotten the BOTW engine and waited until the inevitable Switch Pro came out? Not rocket science, people!
Final Fantasy 4 DS looked better than this... And it was a portable game from *2008* And it had much less polygons. BUT MODELS STILL LOOKED NICE, unlike FFXVPE which looks like... everyone's faces were squashed down. WITH NO FACIAL ANIMATION.
Yay! Definitely on my list to buy. I might even get it for the Switch rather than the PS4 because then I could take it with me. I was planning on grabbing the mobile version but I dislike mobile games so this is really awesome of you guys to bring this game to the consoles. Good on you Square! (now if you could just release me some plushies of these boys- preferably Ardyn. I find his design in this game adorable.
I'm here for this. I finished XV ages ago and enjoyed World of FF. So this may be pointless to most, but I will have fun with it. The bigger problem is where the hell do we find time to play this, when we have so many decent games about to drop? RDR2 drops soon and steals all our time...
"You want a FF anniversary collection for current systems? You want a new Tactics game? You want our PC ports on GOG? You want ACTUAL news on the FF7 remake? Well, fuck you. Pay us $30 for this instead." - Square Enix
Uh-oh...looks like Square Enix is doing a Bethesda... 2021: Final Fantasy XV Supreme Royal Edition 2022: Final Fantasy XV Pocketus Extremis Edition 2024: Final Fantasy XV Special Edition
I had a feeling that this would be ported over to the Switch. Thought honestly I never expected that to be the case at all. But I never expected it to be releasing in the PS4 and Xbox One as well. Though I’m confused as to why release this on those platforms when they already have the OG version of Final Fantasy XV already? The HD version of the Pocket Edition would’ve been better to make an Switch console exclusive instead. Especially considering the “Pocket” part of the name being more fitting for that platform instead of the other ones.
To anyone who absurdly believes releasing this game was a "greedy" tactic: That just isn't the case. Greed is when you force people to pay for extra things within a game you have already purchased, to be more likely to succeed at it. EA. Pay to win. That is greed. Releasing a free mobile version of a game to console is just a way to share variety and give opportunity to those who seek it. It's not a necessity. No one needs to get this. I sure as Hell won't pay for this, because I don't need to, nor do I have the time or resources, but it's nice to have there if I chose I did want to. That's what this is; a choice. By definition, you are not greedy if you give a choice, which if refused, does not in any which way shape or form obstruct the flow of your life and decisions, past or present, or their future outcomes. This was cute, and generous. I doubt many people will get this, except maybe on Switch, because as like a smartphone which this game was originally intended, is mobile, so is the Switch. It is disrespectful and ungrateful to call wonderful companies like SquareEnix "greedy," lumping them together with the likes of EA. Did you know they released every single Kingdom Hearts game, for just $99.99? That's including Kingdom Hearts 3. For just 100 bucks, you can get Kingdom Hearts 3 and the other 8 games that came before it, in all their remastered glory, which to me is absolutely ridiculous, but amazing.
They thinking we forgot about episode Ardyn at this point. sure they need some time because this one might be totally different but not even a video teaser or update for 6 months?
...Why don't they make an ACTUAL demake of FFXV with classic Final Fantasy mechanics straight from Final Fantasy IV V VI, the SNES Era? Look at DRAGON QUEST XI! It has BIG PS4 version... and it has a 3DS version, which has not only a decent low-poly 3D demake mode, but also a 2D MODE WHICH PLAYS AND LOOKS LIKE A DRAGON QUEST FROM SNES ERA! Why can't they just made a GOOD version of Final Fantasy XV? Just make Final Fantasy XV in SNES style, call it "Final Fantasy XV: The Golden Age Version" and hearts of FFanboys would be sold! WHY DO DEVELOPERS FAIL TO SEE THE SUCCESS OF 8-BIT AND 16-BIT STYLE?! Come on, they're cheaper to make financially, but you can focus more on STRUCTURE, just like the developers in SNES ERA DID!
why would you get this for 29.99€ when you can get the original version for 20€? (on ps4) also its weird how their mouths arent moving at all while they are speaking
So was that Nintendo Direct Leak from yesterday real?! It totally called out that this would be confirmed for Switch today... along with KH Cloud Outfit in Smash 0.0 omfg I think Sora is actually in Smash!!!
I don't think you realize how difficult this game has been to tweak for them when it's not fully doing it over for, say, the PC edition. They have had an uphill battle trying to make this game what it is because they were given 3 years to do it because Nomura is literal trash. For example: That Leviathan battle we saw in Versus days and early XV days? They had that built up legit, but the game crashed every time. They toyed with it for MONTHS, and could never figure out how to make it run correctly, which is why they had to replace it with what we have now. With PC, they had to bulk up the code. For Switch, they'd have to cut it down. With a highly compressed game that's already heading over 100GB in size, I'm willing to bet they tried hard for a long time to get it to work for Switch, and just couldn't make it happen.
The Luminous Engine is impossible... but having Final Fantasy XV for the Switch using the Unreal Engine 4 would be possible since that engine is more flexible and scalable.
Im guessing this was part of the direct that was suppose to be for today?..... well thats a waste of effort square...... why would anyone pay for this when for a little more they could play the real game? or better yet download this on their phone for free -_-
cam s this is actually great for the switch since you can play this portably. For other versions yeah its kinda pointless unless you like this style of game.
This was probably supposed to be in the Nintendo Direct that was originally scheduled for today.
