I prefer the Distant Worlds version, especially at the part where the two male singers sing in unison.
"Maria! Maria! I LOVE you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

And now with glorious 1080p sprites to go with it.

What happened to Alyssa? Everyone forgot her but Hope said she was still around...

This is actually one of the more, uh, 'subtle' I guess, points in the game. When you step through that one gate in Academia after collecting all those thingimajigs, Alyssa betrays you and sends you right to Caius. She does this because she finds out that she shouldn't really exist; in the original timeline, she's the one who died, not her friend, and that's why she gets flashes of it. Once you fix some paradoxes, it's as if Alyssa was never there; she's dead and gone, and has been for years.

I like Noel. His backstory and relation with Caius could have been explored more, but he called out Serah and Snow on their poo poo sometimes, and he's never really annoying. Also his theme is really nice.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to see that in motion before I pass judgement on it.

she'll spend one of her ATB bars running up to the enemy to try to launch it, during which she deals no damage and her ATB bar doesn't charge or anything. By the time she reaches the enemy, Noel already launched it long ago, so she has to jump up there and deliver her piss-weak melee attack before switching to the Ruin chaining, which (again, if memory serves) is slower than Ruin spamming on the ground due to the way her casting works. That said, though, most enemies die before launch juggling becomes necessary, unlike 13. It's kind of the same thing with the concerns mentioned above

You could just cancel the attack though?

She will also be voiced by Laura Bailey.

It's like she stole an iron gate and decided to strap it to her arm.
The first one looks a little better, but something seems off.

Probably those cold, dead eyes on that dollface staring at you.
Seriously. :catstare:

Still the best one she's had since 13 though, yes.

B) Are villain characters worth learning? So far I've been having a blast playing Onion Knight, Tifa, and Bartz, but I feel like Golbez has a lot of potential to combo like a motherfucker. But I dunno if they're actually worth learning and mastering or if they're just gimmicky characters for the sake of gimmicks.

That looks too good for a PS3 game. Wonder what it looks like in motion.

According to the trailers we've seen: pretty bad. Framedrops were a problem in 13-2, and the trailers don't make it look that has changed.

I dig that, really, but Auron's higher-poly model looks off. It's his eyes: compare the upscaled one to the new one, you can actually see his eyes now. I dunno, I think it makes him give off another impression.

I'm not complaining, mind you, these new models are really great overall.

Their interactions will always have a sad, somber piano theme going in the background. Even during the final boss fight.

So... do we have a release date for XV? They they say 2014 at some point? Did they even use the word "release," ever?

It's... it's going to be stuck in limbo again, isn't it. :ohdear:

Considering they've rebranded it into a main title, at least it HAS to actually be released.

Sometime. :v:

At one point in development, Nomura wanted to make XV into a... musical.

Honestly I think I'd kinda like that. :v:

To be fair, this is what happened last time.

And when you think about it, the earlier games also had inspirations like that. FF6 and opera, FF9 and theatre...

FFXV has already shown more characterisation and life with the characters with that high-five than XIII ever did with its dialogues.

Liam's been doing voices for years but he does one role in a non-main title FF and people start fangasming ove him all the time. I don't get it.

He's also Kain in FF4DS and Dissidia. :colbert:

Besides, he's done excellent voicework in other games. We're not limited to only liking FF stuff you know.
