Discussion VideoGame / FinalFantasyXV

Well, the objective answer is: yes, the series is still that popular. Heck, right now, it's more well-known, financially successful, and widely-regarded than it ever was pre-FFVII, so if we're judging popularity by that metric, there's no doubt.

The games may be more divisive these days, but divisiveness has nothing to do with popularity. "Popular" does not mean "overwhelming approval". And even if it did, FFXV, the FFVII remake and especially post-ARR FFXIV have basically resuscitated the series' approval.

That all being said, if you want to argue that the running gag detracts from the articles, you can certainly do that (although I suggest doing so on the forums or at the least, the main FF series franchise page). However, that argument doesn't have a leg to stand on if its "popularity" is your objection.

Okay then, since no one is voicing any objections I'll start implementing it tomorrow.

I agree, this page is going to be a mess when the game actually comes out if all the references to Kingsglaive don't at least get their own folder.

I would support this too and also a have a sepperate page for Brotherhood before it gets too big

Agree. Kingsglaive on its own is starting to amass loads of tropes. Anime.Kingsglaive Final Fantasy XV it is.

All right, everyone. I may be a bit late to the discussion, but I've created the dedicated page for Kingsglaive. Although I admit that I do make some mistakes when posting Zero Context Examples with regards to that film, I migrated nearly all of the Kingsglaive-related tropes from the main page. Please add further tropes pertaining to the film there. Thanks.

Thank you for doing this gjjones06, I think people will find this to be very helpful

No problem. I'm always willing to keep the wiki cool.

And I helped by bringing it up and then promptly forgetting about it XD I feel proud.

I tried not to write that while fixing wicks, although I suppose the trailer mentioning the game being "a world in the Versus epic" might be what people are going off of; we're assuming that the game is a part of a new "Versus" compilation (or whatever Square decides to do with "Versus"). Though yeah, I personally haven't read anything confirming or denying its still being a part of Fabula Nova.

I believe it still is considering the words "Fabula Nova Crystallis" (sorry for spelling, I'm on a smartphone) appear at the beginning of the new trailer. They're faint but they are there. Etro and all of those myths are part of FNC right and not exclusive to the XIII titles? That's probably where people are confused.

Yeah it doesn't really discount that its a part of the Fabula Nova Crystallsis after all XIII is a trilogy in the same compilation but if there was nothing saying it is no longer a part I think its definitely jumping the gun to remove them.

Yes they are all part of the same mythology with Etro, Pulse, Linzei and Bhuvelize(Sp?) but all have different stories based on the same mythology much like the elemental crystals like the old game.

Rewatched it, and you're totally right, Ranbu. I fixed most of the wicks where I implied it was no longer a part of it, but there's still a few(?)/a number(?) of examples around the site that were hugely changed because of the confusion. I might go over some of them tomorrow, but if anyone else wants to take a gander, go ahead (I'm thinking basically copy paste the deleted example back on and add something new about despite FF XV becoming part of the main series, it still has to do with the Fabula Nova project).

Then I suppose it's ok to put everything about Etro back in too. I noticed while looking through the history for the page someone removed anything about Etro from the page.

Since Stella still talks about her in the 2011 trailer (in the subtitles), I'd say yeah. I kind of like the current description, though; feels more summarized.

Edit: never mind, I reworded the Stella and Etro part and put it back in.

Nomura's interviews at E3 stated that it's still the same story meaning that anything that we knew before is still there. EVERYTHING removed because it was thought to be gone from the game needs to be put back in unless it's about, for example, something like the HUD which seems to have gotten a change in appearance like how they got rid of the characters portraits next to the health bars (don't know if there was actually anything about that on the trope page or other pages, just thought I'd use that as an example).

Done. The Etro stuff was actually a part of the first few edits, so copy-pasted edits.

I kinda reverted to your stuff totlmstr, Hopeless Osaka D's edit appeared to contradict the whole Noctis and Stella children scene in the newest trailer.

But does anyone have the actual source of Nomura's interview? I just want to be clear, since some of the assumptions made about the last versus XIII trailer seemed to be proved wrong by new XV one. (the Stella-Noctis relationship, the endless night thing, etc) Things do change over development.

Most of them are from Famitsu, so you're not going to find a direct interview transcript and more of summaries of it if there was one at all (talking about the interview, it may have just been an article). An extremely reliable, albeit fan run, Final Fantasy news site is www.finalfantasy.net (probably worth noting that they have been given beta keys by Square Enix to give away for Final Fantasy XIV, so Sqaure Enix trusts them, and the articles usually have links to the source or embed the video that has the information in the article). The Square Enix Presents channel on You Tube is also putting a lot of this information up in the form of videos from E3 which are usually interviews of some-sort (could just be someone talking into the camera) with the directors/producers/executives/whatever you want to call them, at Square Enix. For finalfantasy.net just go to the coverage area on the right side and click on "Final Fantasy XV", that will show you just articles about XV. You could also search the plethora of articles on IGN or other, I guess, official gaming news sites for information.

Just a few hours ago, early copies of the game were shipped ahead of its actual release date per this source. I think we will try to avoid adding any early-bird spoilers until then. Thoughts?

I think that's a good idea I accidently saw spoilers on Tumblr concerning Noctis and Luna and thought it would be a good idea to keep silent on it

Some of it, at least, is due to the Duscae demo, and the Duscae demo is structured in such a way that it does drop a few "reveals" on the player late that are clearly meant to be spoilers/teasers and seem like they'll be spoilers for the full game. Once the game comes out, they can be re-evaluated.
