So you are saying you want her to voice the character like Palutena from Kid Icarus Uprising?

I know you're probably being sarcastic here but i would kill for dialog half as fun and well delivered as KI:U's greek chorus banter to appear in more games.

Not at all, that was a huge surprise to find out that the lady who does Lightning is Palutena from KI:U.

I didn't know that, that's great. And yes, KI dialogue is hilarious. It's so good I almost got plastered on a few levels trying to watch 8 bit story hour on the bottom screen.

I'm really liking a lot about the FFXV demo so far. I like that I can mix and match by weapons to differentiate combos, it actually changes how they flow and what you can get away with against certain enemies, and the different skills you get from the individual weapons. Also, the fact that your EXP is distributed when everyone eats and the different dishes you see is great too. This game has a lot of character in the demo alone in terms of gameplay and actual characters.

I like the cooking system because it encourages you to stay out late to keep your buffs going. I'm hoping the final version makes that a bit more risk/reward though. Some form of EXP loss on death or something. Not something super-strict but just a nice balance between "okay, I don't have the ingredients for a sweet meal so if I sleep I'm gonna be weaker tomorrow but if I take on the Behemoth today I could die and lose (x)..."

I sort of thought that would be what the game was but I tried suiciding and it didn't seem to influence my EXP gain.

Well, I was on the fence about getting this game but after watching a stream and seeing the motion blur I won't be getting it. It looks horrendous. The main reason I wanted it was the FF15 demo anyway.

I've been experimenting with Type-0 and I'm pretty sure I hate every single one of these character designs.

e: Full Thrust rocks, by the way, if you can actually get every hit to land. It's fantastic against Garulas.

So far my favorite characters are King and Ace. Ace moreso for the novelty of fighting with a deck of cards, King is just hilariously overpowered. Why yes, I would like to pull off a killshot from halfway across the arena. I presume that Carat(?), the other girl with a gun is equally amazing, although I haven't used her much yet. I got my poo poo kicked in by the golems in Togeroth, but when I reached the boss at the very end I don't even think he got a single attack off, King just tore through his HP. :stare:

She's a little weaker. Her gimmick is that her gun auto-charges when you're not firing but she has a laser blast with travel time instead of King's broke-as-poo poo insta-kill long-range shots. She's still really really good. So is Trey.

Basically any ranged character > any melee character.

Yeah the game seems to be kind of easy so far on officer, although to be fair I'm only to the third mission and I just got done beating the hardest setting on a brawler so I'm probably primed to be good at this game. It's fun though, I've been using Cater so maybe that's why it's easy.

I will say the opening movie was not what I was expecting for a final fantasy game. Watching some kid and his chocobo slowly bleed out while they cry in pain for ten minutes kind of threw me for a loop... it was pretty unexpected and actually kind of disturbing.

I think they decided to not try to translate the goofy pun. Her name is literally Cidney/Sidney in the Japanese version. (Written using the same characters as Cid even.) They jusy decided to make it Cindy in translation. (I'm not sure why since Sidney is a girl's name and still conveys the joke.)

They wouldn't even have to use "Sidney," just use Cidney. Since when has Final Fantasy cared about real names or common spellings? Nobody would've batted an eye at Cidney. I'm actually gonna be rather annoyed if they use "Cindey" because they pussed out on spelling or are idiots.

I usually use it immediately after I knocked them over, every hit hits with a crit, it's great.

FFXV should take a page out of Resonance of Fate's book when it comes to character banter. That game had flaws, but the characters felt like a team that worked together a lot.

Well I've been watching cutscenes for 15 minutes but this game seems the enjoyable kind of stupid so far. I like that the draw is that it's M-rated final fantasy so you have a blond haired Japanese waif screaming about the 4 crystals but the twist is that this he gets with a rifle shot to the forehead and blood splatters all over the camera

I think I can adapt my brain to the motion blur, I just want to screw with the camera speed, is there an option for that? I pretty much have only had time to finish the initial scenario.

The motion blur is almost offensively bad. Like, the game's good, but god drat is that one big mark on an otherwise good port.

It was designed for a system without a second analog stick. If you think about how it would have been controlled on a PSP and adapt for that it doesn't have as many issues. Basically never manually control the camera and you'll be good.

I didn't experiment all that much with the different weapons at first but I really like the variety and if the full game has even more choices it'll be great. When I ended up trying to beat Deadeye without the summon (not that hard, honestly, there's a campfire right near where he spawns out in the world and he keeps his HP Yiazmat style) the greatsword made a great opener.

I have been in multiple encounters where I tried to kill everyone that lasted an entire night in-game, you need to just get out eventually.
