Final Fantasy XV is not coming to Xbox One anymore.

Today it was revealed that Final Fantasy XV won't be coming to any Microsoft systems due to their restrictions on online multiplayer. Here is a link: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/09/why-final-fantasy-xiv-isnt-coming-to-xbox-360-or-xbox-one

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, not XV. Get your numerals right, please. --ProtoDrake (talk) 16:44, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Opinion needed on source

I have found an article from a site called Final Fantasy News (a fan site of some kind) containing details on a lecture Yusuke Naora gave at Southern Methodist University which features new information on Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and Final Fantasy XV. There is a video on Twitch, but it won't archive (the video might be taken down), and this information is not stored on any other referable site in its entirety. I have encountered other cases where a fan site like this is acceptable if the transcription is proved accurate. Can it be used on this article and Type-0 (they are both likely to become FA in the future)? --ProtoDrake (talk) 22:38, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Likely not—it's one thing to use a talk as a self-published sources (but they tend to be tenuous and ephemeral, as you've explained), but it's another thing to use a site without a reputation for fact-checking or expertise to relay facts from that talk.  – czar 23:33, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Release section misleading

As it stands now the release section is not up to standard.

1) It has no concrete information concerning the release of the game. This is of course due to two things. The game hasn't been released, and it has, to my knowledge, no current release date. But these are exactly the two things that one would most expect to be covered under a section called release. Which leads us to:

2) The three paragraph wall of text the section now consists of has little to do with the release, and more to do with trailers, marketing, development and fan feedback.

I have two alternative suggestions for solving this:

Alternative A) Move content related to development and fan feedback to the development section. Move content related to trailers to a new marketing section. Leave content related to reasons for delay, and speculation about the release date in the release section.

Alternative B) Move content related to development to the development section, but keep the rest under the release section. But create subheadings for marketing (trailers etc), release date and reaction.

release day listed as july 15 in a norwegian shop

that likely means that it will be released that day. just check the spaceworld website.84.213.45.196 (talk) 15:41, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

XV-FNC removal question

Recently, GameSpot reported that XV was removed from the Fabula Nova Crystallis subseries. As of now, GameSpot is the only reliable source that is reporting this, as no other reliable/acceptable site has stated outright that this is the case (and those unreliable/unacceptable ones appear to be paraphrasing the GameSpot article rather than using direct quotes). Even IGN isn't stating it directly, just what was said before about some elements being altered to fit the setting. I have already made edits based upon this information, but I'm beginning to feel skeptical as to whether one source is suitable for such a major change. Opinions? And, almost forgot, I'd appreciate it if Tintor2, PresN, Player017, Rhain1999, Sergecross73, Czar and Jaguar would give their opinions here as experienced editors. Any other opinions are, of course, welcome. --ProtoDrake (talk) 09:04, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for mentioning me. I'm really stumped here. You'd think that something like this would be mentioned elsewhere, surely? The fact that it's briefly mentioned at the end of a bullet point makes me wary. If we could see/read the actual interview with Tabata, then I would be more confident about changing it. Hmm. Perhaps it should just be removed for now; if the developer later claims that XV is actually part of FNC, it's nothing one small revert can't fix, right? – Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 11:42, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I was under the impression that once it changed to Final Fantasy 15, and Tabata took over, that it ceased to be part of FNC anymore. It seems like SE has been trying to move away the FNC label with the FF13 iterations being less successful critically and commercially with each release. In general, I would support either Rhain's proposal to remove for now, with it being easy to re-add in the future, or alternatively, maybe putting it into a "Related" subsection. Whether its part of it or not, its certainly "related", and the dev section would explain how... Sergecross73 msg me 12:53, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Sergecross73, something that I'd like to bring to attention is this interview from Tabata by Finaland, in which he states that the FNC mythos is still an integral part of the game, only it's been adjusted so it fits the setting. That was under a month ago. --ProtoDrake (talk) 12:58, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

• I think the GS report is solid enough to make the change, but it's also simple enough to be a transcription error, so it's fine to reserve skepticism in case a conflicting report arises. If the WP changes are simple enough, I'd just make them. It's clear from both sources that XV has departed from the Versus XIII plot so this is just a matter of whether the studio technically regards the game as an entry in that series. We sufficiently trust GS (and Corriea) to make that call or retract if proven incorrect, though of course it feels better to have enough reporting to counterbalance past reports of it being part of Fabula Nova. Realistically, most outlets likely don't care enough about that one detail to dedicate a full article to it. (edit conflict) I agree that it's fine to include as "Related" in the infobox. I also think GS's interpretation is what we should report over our interpretation of an interview. Again, nothing's set in stone if this report changes. You can also add a caveat in the prose that "GS reported that" or "according to GS" to show that the fact has not been communally acknowledged. – czar 13:02, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I kind of agree with Czar. While FFXV is no longer part of Fabula, at least the infobox could have a "See also" redirecting FFXV.Tintor2 (talk) 14:58, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for the mention, ProtoDrake.

Personally, I think we should give this a few more days or so to give the other sites a chance to post articles on this. Even if GS's article is true, we should at least get one other source to confirm. —017Bluefield (talk) 05:49, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for my late reply. I agree with czar, if there's no significant coverage of reliable sources yet or if GameSpot is just speculating, then it would be best to include something in the infobox. I'd wait and see if other media outlets comment on the confusion with the subseries. JAGUAR  15:11, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

This game has news all the time which is kind of funny that at this point we cannot confirm whether or not it is FNC. I'll be keeping my eye out for anything else that can confirm this issue. 68.199.168.107 (talk) 00:46, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

If Noctis dies?

One of the biggest criticisms of FF XIII was that if the character you're controlling dies, it's an automatic game over regardless of any resurrection abilities of the other party members. Does FF XV still use this mechanic if Noctis is the only playable character? 124.197.22.57 (talk) 04:59, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
