The issue of FFV being released later for us never was an issue for me, since I never owned a Nintendo system until the Gamecube. So when I had the chance to get and play FFV, I got it at the same time as IV and VI with the PS1 ports.
Yes, they were terrible ports, but they were my introduction to all three.
I didnt play 5 or 6 until the Advance editions…but i actually like V..even though i got glitched on the PS1/PS3 edition in a boss fight
Man, character arcs in XV are either non-existent or are so brief that can blink and miss them.
Case in point, Prompto…
! The almost entirely of his development is contained in just two scenes:
! The baring of his soul on the hotel rooftop which is entirely optional.
! The twist in chapter 13 which prompt(o)s a character arc that begins and ends in the same 2 minute scene.
When Ardyn mentioned the skeleton in Prompto's closet, I'm loathe to admit that I got a little interested in the situation. Of course, the reveal happened and I was "oh, okay…"
But enough about that sidetrack called Final Fantasy, let's get to the proper topic of the thread

Book or movie, which one should I read/watch first?

Yes. Do it.
I love FFV for the job system. If that's all it had to offer I'd be happy. But it also has…Gilgamesh. Yes, that's good.
Looks like KH3 and FF7R aren't making 2017.
I think I'm gonna die of a heart attack of not surprised.

Great read. Uematsu mentioning and praising Suikoden also got me smiling from ear to ear, being a very big fan of that series myself.

Last Unicorn
Book or movie, which one should I read/watch first?
Just watch the movie. The book's author was also the screenwriter and its damn near identical. The book has a couple minor, minor extra little tiny bits and asides, but the movie covers 99% of it all of it down to the dialogue… and it has fantastic animation and some great actors in it.
...but it does have singing. Hrm.
Looks like KH3 and FF7R aren't making 2017.
How does this man get anything done? Working om two massive games at the same time. And before that he had Versus on his belt, and that worked out so well.

Well with KH he has a co-director Tai Yusue.
Nomura says awhile ago he likes having a co-director, even before he was moved off XV Tabata was the co-director.
SE, STOP! FKing announcing games so early. They just don't learn at all.
To support Viz and SHUEISHAs MANGA Plus service hosting all Jump manga for FREE, WORLDWIDE and day of release, Arlong Park will now support the official release.
Official chapter discussions now start Sundays at Noon, EST.
Please do not post threads when scan sites release their version.

A year or two in advance isn't that early. That's pretty standard for video game hype cycles, especially in franchises and to keep the shareholders happy. Announcing a game as far as three years in advance isn't a big deal.
The big deal is SE can't even keep to that sort of standard chedule and it apparently takes them 10 years to do anything now,

That was a great piece of video game writing, despite my distaste of Polygon as an outlet.
We need more stuff like that in games media. Games by now have such a rich history and probably a good number of creators that could be at liberty to speak about some past work they've done.

Siliconera is reporting that Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which if its series is any indication, is going to be supermassive, is coming out this year. They announced it last night.
See also: Fallout 4.
See also: All the Mass Effect: Andromeda people who are flabbergasted that the game is coming in two months despite only seeing like two trailers for the game.
You dont have to announce every freaking time somebody on your team has an idea for a game.
Announcing a game a year in advance when you have a lot of the development already done and you have a specific advertising plan is sensible. But 2 years for franchises isn't unheard of or crazy and is really really common. Especially with franchises.
ME 4 only recently started doing trailers, sure, but it was officially announced back in June 2015, almost two years in before the game will actually release… and was unnofficially talked about by the team as far back as late 2012 when all the DLC was winding down on ME3
Zelda: BoW was announced in 2013 for a planned 2015 release and comes out in 2 months.
Dragon Quest 11 was announced in January 2016, but didn't get an official trailer annuncement until June... and we still don't have a release date for it other than "sometime this year... in Japan." Nino Kuni 2 was announced in 2015 and still has no release date except for "this year".
Games being planned and announced waaaaaay in advance is normal and not inherantly a bad thing. When its big franchise stuff, you gotta keep the shareholders happpy and give the fans something. Xenoblade for all that its huge... is still a fairly new franchise and not a whole lot rides solely on its shoulders. Its release doesn't make or break the company for that year. (Especilly in Xenoblades case where that team also co-works on ANimal Crossing, Zelda, Splatoon, etc.)
Koei doesn't announce every Dynasty Warrior game three years in advance because they do dozens of those and pump one out every 4 months in some form or another, so announcing one 8 months ahead of time or so does them fine.
So no, it's not bad or wrong for Square to announce a game 2 or 3 years in advance. The problem is they can't ocus and get things done and end up announcing 5-10 years in advance.

Which is what MajinArrekusu was saying. Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced four years ago and FF7 is going on two years now. Neither game is coming out any time soon. That is where things get ridiculous.
I believe FF10 Remaster had a four year cycle from announcement to reveal as well.
I am not trying to say all games should have the same kind of turnaround, but Fallout 4 and now Xenoblade prove that you can like make games without announcing them right away, then get your product out in a timely manner.
Wooooo, damn! Look at that sexy mofo!
I want Dissidia on big screen with actual controllers so bad. I will regrind all my characters all over again!
That remix of Dark Messenger tho.
NPD - FFXV experienced the best console launch month in franchise history:
"Although a Call of Duty has now topped the December sales chart for the ninth consecutive year, Final Fantasy XV was the best selling game for the PS4 during the month," said Naji. "Final Fantasy XV was the second best-selling title for December 2016… Final Fantasy XV experienced the best console launch month in the history of the franchise selling 19 percent more new physical units than Final Fantasy XIII in its launch month and 54% more in total dollar revenue including digital full game sales."
This puts XV at 1,573,000 million sales this month, not including digital, may be 1.8 million to 2 million if you include digital.
Cool. Guess SE has learned their lesson.
Hey, everyone saw those new gods from Dissidia? They look better than Cosmos and Chaos.

That looks awful. What the fuck.
Here is the other dude btw.
Jecht is going through a phase.
That see through dress is all kinds of terrible. I don't even.
Leelo Dallas multipass!
Honestly, I didn't noticed it was a see through dress until now.

Didn't 15 ship over 5 million on launch day?

"No, listen Square, the dress goes ON the wire frame!! A flower pot is not a suitable hat for a goddess of goodness! And why does she have cogs for heels? Is she some sort of rollerblader? And you can't just slap on old Zone of the Enders concept art onto her back, we don't own that franchNO DON'T CLICK SUBMIT!!!"
What was that lesson again?
"We should do this again." :/
I like the flower pot on her head. It looks like she had a nervous breakdown, lol.

Guess the world has spoken and it's clear it has moved on from what I loved about FF. Seems like I'll have to do with other titles to fill the void.
Console sales breakdown, Type-0 break down was similar at 80-20.
Square Enix has an "exciting announcement" tomorrow according to their twitter:
Some additional, spoiler information:
! It's 99.9% Kingdom Hearts III related. It's 99.9% Square implementing a Marvel World into Kingdom Hearts.
! Marvel tweeted out a tweet about an "exciting announcement" tomorrow as well, or a "stay tuned until tomorrow" to be more accurate. It was tweeted out AT THE SAME EXACT TIME as the tweet from Square Enix. Here's the tweet:That…or...it could be an entirely new AAA RPG made by Square Enix that uses the Marvel IP, which, could be really, really amazing.

Thank you.
that's good news. Let's hope now that it will be released before 2025:ninja:.
If anyone has been interested or considering trying FFRK out, now is not a bad time to give it a chance. We are currently having a Final Fantasy Tactics event which allows you to unlock:
-Ramza (the best Support character in the game)
-Agrias (one of the best Knights in the game, among other things)
-Ovelia (really solid White Mage)
-Mustadio
-Delita
-Gaffgarion (who isn't very good)
-Orlandeau (who is one of the best DPS characters in the game, and joins you at Level 50, unlike most who join at level 1)
A new ATR has been dated Feb 2nd, will focus on updates and DLC coming to XV, will also a video message from "that person".
Who I assume is either Nomura or Sakuguchi….hopefully not drunk then time around.
