Crash course

by Sammy Barker Mon 21st Nov 2016

We've penned literally hundreds of articles about Final Fantasy XV, but if you've skipped them and are wondering what's going on in the upcoming outing, then this 101 Trailer is actually pretty well done. It details everything that you need to know about the upcoming role-playing release – from the cast of characters through to the combat system. Remember, there are some copies out in the wild now, so make sure that you're vigilant and avoid spoilers.

Pity the vid isn't in hi-def though. All I need now is the time to play it. I was enjoying Watch Dogs 2 until I came across the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Binge watched them last night on Netflix. Absolutely Brilliant fluffy, appealing off-beat humour

@nathanSF It's processing, should be in 1080p when it's done.

Could they have possibly gotten a worse voice over for this? Did they just grab somebody in house, or did they actually spend money for that performance?

Game looks great, but my goodness...

The soundtrack and the visuals are probably among the best ever made. If the gameplay is at least good this will be a masterpiece. PLEASE don't be like XIII by any means!

@SecondServing There's a very long story that I'm not sure I can talk about publicly. We won't be reviewing it before launch.

Ok I'm finally excited. After years and years of intentionally canning my hype knowing I'd be in my thirties by the time it released.

@Kellanved
lol I'm used to it from Nintendo Treehouse. Seems like every single major game released for the Wii U, like Xenoblade Chronicles X, got cheesy in-house dialog to save money. Seems like Square Enix is taking a page out of Nintendo's advertising playbook

My guess is they figure theses kinds of videos are targeted at core fans so they don't need to give it "mass appeal", they just need to dial-in to the technical side of the game and explain exactly why it'll be fun. But who knows, it's just a theory.
