ffxv bonus items?

i just bought ffxv. do you think people who purchased the game will get bonus items to use in ffxiv?

No though they likely will have a cross over event in FF14.

A Event of FF XV on FF xiv should happend after christmas i guess. I heared SE wanted players play FF xv first

Well I wont be one of those players, read how the story progresses and the fact its an on rails game again as i understand it. Still no clue about actual gameplay.

Unlikely. FFXV is a console exclusive. Sounds kinda silly to put console exclusive bonus items as a reward for a game also operating on PC. If it was a PS4/PC game, then yes, but since it's not I highly doubt it.

We might get an ingame event instead.

Reminds me of that Odin statue, how long till people start to complain that an exclusive item is gated behind a x $/€ costing game?

Day 1 copies of FFXIII came with a bonus item for FFXIV even though (at the time) 13 was PS3 exclusive. You can argue that the management team of FFXIV has changed since 1.0, but the move itself isn't without precedent.

No? The game is quite open world. And a pretty vast one about that.
The game's director has commented on it shifting towards more linear when approaching the climax though, maybe that's what you're thinking about?

Hope not. It's not even a real FF game.

It most certainly is.

Second reason is : when do i have the time? Perhaps i spend too much time in eorzea. :P
I cant even find the time to complete the last dragon age, witcher 3 and fallout 4 so i could buy it and put it on the shelf .

Final Fantasy XV: Teenage Roadtrip. urg....

It would be funny if we see a Regalia mount :P

FF15 looks amazing, I'd love for an in-game event (with some Glam too which I normally don't care about, ever).

I don't want to know about that story. It's not a Final Fantasy.

I just really wish people would say "for me, it's not a Final Fantasy", because it's been one for more than 10 years, and a main number FF for years. If you don't like it, don't play it but no amount of denial is going to make SE pretend it didn't make it and call FFXVI XV.

Final Fantasy XV is a final fantasy. Saying " its not a final fantasy " its like if you insult Tetsuya Nomura ' s work for me.
Respect him and SE please. Thanks...

No respect for the guy who's trying to turn FF into a KH spin-off. Why FFXIV is the best modern FF? because it's a Nomura-free FF.

Pfft, i'm curious as to what you consider a "real FF game".

To be fair, the only "real FF game" was "Final Fantasy", all others are just copies of the name but no "real FF game" anymore... :P

Oh you HAD to say that! :3

My only beef with it is the use of real world items in the series. Things like the car and the cell phones in Advent Children hurt the immersion for me. It's one thing to invent something based on something real, but product placement in a Final Fantasy game is just cheesy.

Sorry to disappoint. I looked into the story and it is anything but interesting. Nothing to see here, move it along!

That you dismiss it as "Teenage Roadtrip", which really could summarize, oh, every single Final Fantasy when you get down to it; short perhaps the MMOs, really makes it sound like you have no clue what you're talking about. FFXV's story is, plain and simple, the same as any other Final Fantasy. At least those that go with the "Evil Empire" angle. Which is all of them. Give or take the particulars of "Empire".

I am not telling anyone to not like it now, am I? Just the recent games have not been appealing. The depth of story is just missing, it doesn't pull me in anymore as they used to. And more than any other, this one gives me the "teenage Roadtrip" vibe. To each their own, I certainly won't be bothered with this game.

That's a silly argument because the world of Final Fantasy VII was built around stuff like that. The PHS system in Final Fantasy VII is literally a phone.

Not to mention the car chase when leaving midgard.
The forced calls in Gold Saucer.
Reeve calling when the president is "killed"

Yes such immersion breaking in a world driven by technology.....
Have you even played Crisis Core and Cerberus Dirge?

SE should close that thread ;(

Exactly, the PHS in FFVII was taken wholesale from real life, it is a real-world mobile phone/cellular service that formerly was popular in Japan and is still found in some Asian countries to this day. The branded phones in the Compilation only extended from that.

And besides, before you pass judgement even the linkshells here in FFXIV are effectively mobile phones in all but physical form (they give a phone like tone when someone is calling on them in cutscenes, and Cid even explained at one point that they use electromagnetic waves to function: i.e. radio. Which is how phones transmit information at their core.).

So real world concepts definitely do fit in the FF series (lets not also forget that the very first FF game featured a mechanical robot, a submarine/scuba diving, a holographic video display and a flying castle/airship too in an otherwise Tolkien-esque fantasy world of knights, castles, elves and magic, but that's another story...).

Fun fact, I downloaded the old Fankit sound package, and actually do have the FFXIV Linkshell Alert set as my ringtone.

I'm sure I'm far from the only one.

So trying to say it a spin-off of a spin-off? Considering KH is a mixture of FF and Disney to begin with.

haha, you are free to see it that way but it's not my fault that you can only see it in black and white :)

It's sad what the single player FF titles have become. 98% linear/completely on rails with no sense of adventure or freedom to play around. Just follow our boring rehashed story of war and betrayal from start to finish then throw the game away as there is no reason to ever look at it again let alone play through it again.

I considered pre-ordering ff15.... but the whole 'Bro-roadtrip' aspect has been so heavily pushed that its just turned me off the game entirely.

When the main marketing things I have seen for a game are a bunch of 'cool looking bros' and a raunchy reimagined cid.

I haven't been able to discern a relatable or inspiring or interesting story behind all that testosterone leaking out.

I also hate live action battle. I really enjoyed atb-style rpgs, which is why the ff series suited me really well. They took a key element out of the franchise.

Ff XII have the style of battle like ff xv if i remember well ( it getting old lol )

I'm quite hyped about FFXV. Final Fantasy XV: Brotherhood was amazing and made me enjoy the characters that I absolutely hated from the trailers. Kingsglaive was superb and laid down a starting foundation. Platinum Demo was really fun and I enjoyed the action, hack and slash inspired combat.

For those saying they don't like the fact there's no turn based combat; you've not been keeping up with the news. The game has in-battle "pausing" that allows you to set up moves. This was done to allow players to be able to breathe and still play the game, even if they are inept with action-style games. It's essentially a time-limited turn based gauge.

All I hope for is Lunafreya glamour for females in the event and Noctis for males. Please PLEASE SE do not make this cash shop exclusive. You have the opportunity to get players even more familiar with XV after they play it with an event in xiv.
