Don't know if any of you have kept up with this game.  It was announced 10 fuging years ago and its release date has become a bit of a running joke over the years... but they've finally given it a release date along with quite a bit more with a huge press conference that Square held last night.  It's coming out September 30th this year.

Before the games release there's going to be a full feature length state of the art CG film with A list voice casting (Ned Stark actor Sean Bean, Joffrey's mom, and Jesse from Breaking Bad) along with a free-to-watch anime series, an actual real life version of the car from the game partnering with Audi, a standalone unique free demo which was just released, and free app tie-ins that connect with the main game

Here's the game trailer (pretty damn awesome trailer IMO)

 

 

Square seems to be pretty fuging confident in this one.  I can't ever remember a game company going all out like this for the release of a game... and the newest trailer above is fan-fuging-tastic.  Looks like between all this and the announced FF7 remake they're really trying to make up for the disappointment of FF13.

 

Here's the CG movie trailer... which might be free also unless I misunderstood them from the press conference:

 

Just crazy for a game that was announced so long ago (again... 10 fuging years ago) with such little information revealed over the years to suddenly drop all this at once.  Square apparently has a poo ton of confidence in this one, because they've got an absolute ton of money invested in it.

I'm very curious about this game, I've been a long time FF fan, but seriously the last great one to come out was FFX.

Yeah, I feel the same way.  I couldn't get into XII when it came out and XIII damn near soured me on the series altogether.  Only reason I'm hyped about this one was even back when it was first announced (at the same time as XIII 10 years ago) it still looked like the far superior game... then it just never came out.  I think after the disappointment of XIII they really step backed and began to reevaluate what they were doing and are putting that into this game... they've even been on record saying they sort of fuged up along the way and lost their focus after X and that they hope to bring FF back to its roots with this one.

So I'm gonna give em a fair shot with this one.  It might not be perfect, but as long as it has that old Final Fantasy sense of adventure, depth and scope to it then the series will be alright in my eyes.  They seem to be going all in here.  If they fug this one up I think they know the series is screwed, outside of the FFVII remake.

FFXIII could have been a great game. It had a lot of great potential, but it felt like you were playing on a rail shooter with how limited your options were while playing it. if the game was more open ended, and had some decent mini-games/challenges to it it could have been great.

And yeah, they also need to make this game great, otherwise it will be just remakes from here.

I liked XII.. I thought the open world gameplay was fun and different. I just downloaded the platinum demo on ps4 for XV so I'm about to check that out. I really hope this game delivers.. XIII's linear gameplay just pissed me off

They did a really shitty job explaining that the platinum demo is only a glorified tech demo... it's really not representative of what the actual game is going to be like nor does it have anything to do with the game.  Mainly just there to show off varied environments, lighting, weather effects, physics, etc.  The only part that's similar is the final at the very end (which you can do over again by pressing a button past the exit)

They also don't really do a good job of explaining the combat mechanics, kinda have to figure them out on your own.  But it's just supposed to be a small glimpse, so whatever I guess.

It's worth it just to fight the boss at the end I guess though they kinda throw you in head first and don't really tell you poo lol

Like it'll probably take you a minute to be fighting smooth like it's supposed to be like this (you can fight him as much as you like)

and it's pretty short... but the beginning part is kind of a weird choice for a demo considering it's supposed to sell people on the game and all they give you is a glorified tech demo that doesn't really show much outside of weather, day/night, driving mechanics, etc. and they don't even tell you that

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
