it will b 25 in like 3 months so will wait. ff has been terrible since 11 onwards

Wow, lots of misinformation in these threads. Voted hot on this deal, onwards with some thoughts about the game for those interested:

The 'Platinum Demo' I found to be absolutely amazing. I will admit to being quite biased when it comes to Final Fantasy games, even down to enjoying FFXIII + XIII-2 when I went back to it.

I haven't had the opportunity to play 'Episode Duscae', so these thoughts are purely based on the former offering.

Combat: Fluid, easy learning curve, reminiscant of Kingdom Hearts games. Personally found this to be very enjoyable. Previously haven't been a huge fan of the non-turn based style FF combat, but this time round it seems to have clicked. The magic system feels a little awkward, you don't appear to be able to lock on to use magic, only for physical attacks. This leaves you open for having to aim manually, a bit like throwing a grenade in a TPS game.

Visuals: Stunning landscapes and great draw distances.Textures in the demo were OK, could be higher res for a new game. Character models look great, aesthetically pleasing and still carrying that 'Final Fantasy' tinge.
I was physically stunned when I saw two of the summons in the background (I think Titan and Leviathan were the characters, but couldn't make out Titan properly, could have been Ifrit), the size and sound effects, top notch, haven't felt that impact really in a long time (compared to Knights of the Round, Magus Sisters, Bahamut, Yojimbo..). Can't wait to see what they actually look like in the actual game. Loved the theme, reminded me a little of FFVIII (my personal favourite) which is unexpectedly great, clearly modelled on Europe (guessing Italy).

Game Engine: Jumping mechanic left a lot to be desired, not scripted as in some of the previous entries, so you can be jumping to try and reach a ledge that isn't actually a ledge; leaving you looking like a bit of a loon. Weather and time cycle was a nice addition, really impressed with the surround sound paired with the storm weather effects. Blown away (excuse the pun). Movemement around the levels was fine, nothing particular to say about walking/running, does what it says on the tin. Driving mechanic was enjoyable, had worse driving mechanics in a game that is supposed to be more focused on cars (*cough* Just Cause 3), time will tell how important it is in the actual game.

Audio: Sound effects as previously mentioned have been really great in every aspect, I tried to note a few negative points but honestly nothing really came to mind. I especially liked the SE of the toy hammer. Music...after finishing the demo and spending an hour in there, I can't remember the music blowing me away, or really any at all. Could that be that I was too immersed to notice or that I hadn't paid enough attention to it? Purely for transparency, I've let myself down there. The other points are all there for you to digest and decide :smiley:

To summarise, I don't see how some of these reviews so far from people add up and it makes me wonder if they have actually played it at all. I mean, I just played a tech demo and enjoyed that...if I had an opportunity to review Episode Duscae I would, but I'm not buying a game I don't want just to get that.

Could you elaborate on which company requests for upfront payment ? Thanks
I assume videogamebox? Never used them before, any good?

Edit: .. Nevermind, didn't read OP, silly me! :smiley:

I'd day ps4, I have both consoles and have ordered mine for PlayStation 4 as I remember final fantasy on ps pads and they feel more 'at home's with the game (just my opinion)

Well now you know I am and apologies accepted. :man:

I have played games for nearly 30 years.
Didn't realise you were a gaming oracle? My apologies.

Play more games then, MGSV should never be called the best game ever!

Except this isn't a linear turd of a game which all the single player entries have been since 10. This game has been highly anticipated for years and chances are anyone who wants to play it has already prepared ordered it (or just cancelled to prevent order this one)

Could not disagree more. The only thing that let that down was the story.
Still the best game I've ever played though.

Hmmm... XB1 or PS4

That's pretty cheap for a big release. I tried the demos and just couldn't get into it sadly.

Thanks for the reply.I did see that link in an earlier thread,I guess for the sake of £1.73 it depends if you want to pay up front or wait till dispatch time :wink:
