That was part of the appeal! And of course, if you wanted to control 0, 1, 2, or all 3 of your party members completely manually, you could do that as well :)

I think the keyword that was kinda confused was "cancelled". TBH Jason, and I'm not trying to attack your article or anything, I was very confused at first too. I see that here you see the game was "cancelled", and my heart drops a beat (I had already known the studio had closed, and remember clearly that…

Aigis was my personal fave :)

I agreed with everything you said until "and yet I'm pretty sure it'll be a total failure. Don't know guys, I'm just way too angry at Tabata right now."

Fantastic. I'd buy one in a heartbeat!

Boy, oh boy, does this game look incredible. I firmly believe, after nearly 10 years of waiting, that this game will be the game that revolutionizes modern JRPGs.

The world truly seems ALIVE. From the bustling city streets to a scenic drive through the mountains, the world of XV looks like something crafted with love…

Unbelievable. To think that Square Enix as a company didn't realize how dumb of an announcement this would sound coming out of a PR's mouth, and to think that Sony would have given SE the 3rd to last time slot for their press conference... Really disappointed with both companies right now.

Fair enough. I haven't actually seen a ton of One Piece, so I admit that my opinion is somewhat biased.

I wouldn't say that Togashi (the mangaka for HxH) has ADD or anything (except he really does, for going on hiatus so flipping often!!)

It is not without its faults—mainly those stemming from its pace, length, and reliance on shonen fighting manga tropes—but in end, if you're looking for a meaty manga full of fighting and adventure, Naruto is for you.

Like many shonen fighting manga, Naruto's length and pace often work against the story being told. Single fights can go on for a dozen or more chapters because no enemy is ever simply defeated. Rather, every fighter has two or three secret techniques to fall back on when things appear lost, and that can drag the…

Wait, only Noctis is playable? That's a shame. I guess Tabata decided to scrap the Versus concept of switching between the characters from time to time.

Haha, exactly. For The Last Guardian to be considered "rare" for the FF XV crew says quite a lot in and of itself.

From what I've heard, Type-0 was really well-received on PSP. Many called it a better Final Fantasy than most numbered ones.

Great interview Brian. I'm even more excited for XV having read this (not sure how that's even possible).

From what I remember of the old Versus XIII trailers for PS3, it seemed as if you'd be able to switch between the party members and control them. Prompto, for example, would handle like a 3rd-person shooter.

And this is what people who bash FFXV truly do not understand. To those who argue that Nomura makes tedious gameplay, go play Kingdom Hearts, which were a total blast to play. To those who argue that Nomura never made a game without a compelling story, go play The World Ends With You, one of the greatest JRPGs of…
