Xbox News and Dev interview - allgivenover - 07-08-2013 Two interesting bits today, one, an explanation about reasons for XIV's passing on an Xbox version and the other a YoshiP interview. http://www.rpgsite.net/news/2498-ff14-director-a-realm-reborn-skipping-xbox-is-still-down-to-microsoft and, http://www.rpgsite.net/interviews/451-final-fantasy-xiv-a-realm-reborn-interview-with-naoki-yoshida Of note in the second article. Quote:Once I'm back in Japan I will probably write a long forum post again to explain in more detail to the fans. Myself, I am one of those who really wants to make sure that the FF14 world is kept safely in a FF14 way - so I don't want to destroy the lore. There's going to be plenty of cutscenes and explanation of the reasons in the storylines of why Lightning can appear in FF14. Whew, glad there's going to be a reason for it instead of just an unexplained cameo. RE: Xbox News and Dev interview - Grayfox - 07-08-2013 I'm sure we weren't the only two who were worried about the whole Lightning thing. At first I was really worried about if they were actually being serious or not. Everytime i start to doubt  the team behind this game I remember what they've done for all of us fans. The fact that Yoshi has went through so much to bring us FFXIV:ARR is just so amazing. This team has so much respect for their fans and it really shows. I'm pretty excited to see how they fit Lightning in. I've decided to just sit back and relax and wait. RE: Xbox News and Dev interview - TheLastCandle - 07-11-2013 Those odd tattoos that are going to appear on the returning characters? They're actually L'Cie brands. Nooooo~ Okay, not really. It'll be interesting to see the IG reason for Lightning being here will be, though. RE: Xbox News and Dev interview - Ashren Dotharl - 07-11-2013 He's actually said a few times now that there was going to be an explanation for why she existed in FF14, in fact he even said it during the event they announced it to begin with. The problem was that people were getting so irrationally angry over her existence that that bit of information kind of got lost. Still, I don't think ANY explanation will quell the rage her existence has caused, because it's still the real Lightning and not just a Hyur that looks like her.

Darn! And I had my money on it being a Lallafel in a Lightning suit.... RE: Xbox News and Dev interview - Yahdo - 07-11-2013 Final Fantasy games are each in it's own universe. Well Yoshi, as I see it, has connected all the universes into one big Multiverse. With Lightning being in the game I think we will be seeing other characters and enemies from other games as well in the future or even side to side with Lightning. Again, this is my opinion on how they are going to spin it so I could be dead wrong.

FFV set a precedent in the franchise for dimension traveling, I'd be more put off if she was a Hyur that just happened to look, act, and bear the same name as Lightning. If she's here due to that precedent or a similar device, I'll be fine with it.

Maybe Bahamut has ripped some kind of dimensional portal? Or maybe it has something to do with The Void. Cosmos and Chaos from Dissidia brought them here! I don't know haha. This is probably exactly what they are talking about in the developer room as we speak. RE: Xbox News and Dev interview - Aysun - 07-13-2013 I'd rather they just keep the universes separate... /sigh RE: Xbox News and Dev interview - Ashren Dotharl - 07-13-2013 (07-13-2013, 08:37 PM)Aysun Wrote: I'd rather they just keep the universes separate... /sigh The universes have really never been separate, we just haven't had a crossover as blatant as this before. Gilgamesh is stated as always being the same Gilgamesh in ever game he appears in, and counting all the remakes I believe Gilgamesh at this point has appeared in every single numbered title, and even some unnumbered titles. Dissidia also shows that all the universes are connected, and yes I understand the characters (with the exception of Gilgamesh again) are not the real characters, but that the game takes place in a plane that connects all the universes if it can pull the essence of characters from their universe. If they were separate, this wouldn't be possible.

RE: Xbox News and Dev interview - ZinJaeger - 07-15-2013 Intelesting post, Kylin. *Rests his fingers from both hands against each other* RE: Xbox News and Dev interview - rynsan - 07-15-2013 When I first saw the screencaps, I didn't read the text so I thought it was just the creators messing around. Now that I realize this is for real I am not sure what to think. I haven't really played the FFXIII game (brushes the dust off it) but now I'm feeling I should. But I guess I'll wait and see what they do to explain her appreance to if I'll be excited or not. |
