    I remember that video when it first came out. One of the reasons why I always said Xaldin was the best admins. ...Despite not being good at admin-ing. It was great when you took over reporting. Good luck with life and stuff. ...Not good at responding to these threads.

    Some more info about Type-0 here and here. Main points to take from it are:

    • The game differs from XV in that Type-0 is centered around war whereas XV is more like a "road trip that focuses on brotherhood". Bromance in FFXV confirmed. FFXV confirmed for best mainline Final Fantasy.
    • This won't delay FFXV.
    • Type-0 HD will be released by or before August 2015. Most likely earlier.
    • The only new content added to the game is that of four difficulty settings. The original was said to be too hard for some.
    • Type-0 was not released on the PSP because the market for that shrunk in the West. They wanted Type-0 to be a stepping stone of sorts for FFXV to increase XV's sales.
    • Type-0 HD will look awesome.
    EDIT: Apparently Bryce Hitchcock is the VA for Deuce.

    Kendric sighed out in relief as he watched Fey give the two a nod of approval as well as a much deserved round of applause. The Dean hardly seemed phased by Zauriel's inquiry over the box. She took it back into her possession amused that Zauriel had been able to stand up so easily after that kind of exertion just like how Kendric had seemed to forget about his own fatigue. "It was just part of the exam. Nothing more."

    Kendric frowned. He had hoped to find out what was inside.

    "Both of you worked brilliantly together. Neither of you need to think too hard about what marks you will receive for this exam." She smiled at the group and bowed her head slightly. "It has been a long year. To those of you returning next year, I hope you have a wonderful break. And to those of you graduating, may you find your purpose out in this world." With that, school was over for the year. All that was left was graduation in a week's time and...for Kendric, he knew nothing what the future held for him.

    As soon as Fey left the hall, the golems having been forgotten it seemed, Kendric went over to Sasha and Zauriel. "You both alright? You better be! You guys passed with flying colors!" He looked at the doorway. There was still time to head out and watch how the rest of the city was celebrating this year. "I don't know about the rest of you but I'm heading to the center of town. Anyone else coming?" If his mood had been damped by just a little more from the exam he would have went to his room to pack, but he had promised a friend he would watch the parade.

    "What do you think was in the box anyways? It felt like something was in there. I was hoping she'd open it and there would be a prize for one of us inside." He shook his head disappointingly. "Oh well."

    Apparently, IGN got to watch 20 minutes of footage at Pax Prime. Also, Type-0 HD is about 80% done according to Tabata(the game's director).

    Not much else to say other than what we already know. The game won't look as good as FFXV but it'll still look great.

    Given that Ben was what made Breaking Benjamin stand out from being "just another generic rock band" I'm okay with the change. Jasen used to be in RED(a similar sounding band) so that's nice. Apparently the other new guitarist, Keith Wallen, used to be in Adelitas Way. I think I've heard one or two songs from them and they were alright. The new bassist and drummer really aren't too relevant in this context unless Breaking Benjamin start doing far more musically interesting things...so just about anybody would do fine in the band.

    Super excited. The teenager in me is squealing.

    It's probably for the explicit purpose of making their MP gauge recharge after the use of another ability(unless items are used). It's probably to make them marginally more useful because allies in KH generally aren't good for anything aside from being pack mules for potions and ethers.

    Personally, I'd use shatter(though not really a sound in itself). Or if it's the sound when it's breaking slowly, then crack.

    Kendric gave a nod towards Zauriel who knew how he was feeling about the situation. When Damion took out one of the golem's gems Kendric smiled. Getting to that spot without being able to see the gem was an impressive feat in itself. Just as the first golem crashed to the ground the second reached forward towards both Poke and Damion in an attempt to grab them both. "That's enough!" Dean Fey called out causing the golem to stop immediately inches away from the boys. She clapped her hands together. "Well done, both of you. Your efforts have been enough to show me that you two deserve to pass." She motioned for them to leave the ring before heading in and repairing the damaged gemstone causing the golem to rise once more.

    Knowing that Sasha and Zauriel would be next Kendric headed their way and stopped next to Sasha. "Hey, I know what your ability is and..." Kendric lowered his voice, "The floor has been broken plenty of times during the Trial. There's plenty of soil just under our feet. I'm sure you know what to do with that." Kendric cleared his throat and gave Zauriel a pat on the back. "Good luck. I'm sure you guys will do great." He nodded at them and headed back over towards Tal.

    Just one more group and it was all over. They would finally be out of school. Despite having failed it did nothing to his eagerness to leave and watch what was going on in the rest of the city. Maybe if they were lucky, they would have only missed the opening ceremony of the parade. That was always just a bunch of politicians talking about something boring anyways. Giving a thumbs up to Sasha and Zauriel, Kendric stood back and watched as the golems took their positions at the center of the ring.

    Tobey makes a better Peter than Andrew(excluding Spider-Man 3 but that wasn't all Tobey's fault). Andrew makes a better Spider-Man. If they did the fusion dance from DBZ to form the ultimate Spider-Man actor I'd be happy.

    Lots of stuff to read about Unity.

    Could you please introduce us to your customization aspect of Unity?

    In Assassin’s Creed Unity, players have the opportunity to deeply customize the gear, tools and skills of Arno. We really wanted players to shape their character how they wanted him to be—to have their own unique version of Arno.

    Gears are clothing items: we allow you to change Arno’s hood, coat, boots, gloves and belt. We have around 200 individual gears you can wear in-game, which means there is a very high chance your Arno will look truly unique depending on the combination you choose to wear. And this is not just about making your Arno look unique, this is also about the way you
    play. Each gear will have gameplay attributes that will contribute to define your playstyle.

    Weapons are melee or ranged. We have around 85 weapons in game such as swords, axes, spears, blunt weapons, pistols and long guns. Tools are consumables, such as medicine, bombs or lockpicks. The weapons & tools you pick will truly support your playstyle.

    And lastly, skills are abilities you unlock as you progress through the game. Your skills fall within specific categories which again you can balance to support your playstyle.

    The upgrading system is quite interesting; could you please tell us what the possibilities are? What are the body parts that can be upgraded?

    You can upgrade everything that Arno wears on his body, broken down in 5 categories: head, legs, arms, waist and chest.

    • Head items change the visuals of your hood. They can change variables such as decreasing guard proximity reaction speed and increasing your Eagle Sense radius.
    • Leg items change the visuals of your pants & boots. They canDecrease Fall Damage, Decrease Running noise, and give you additional health.
    • Arm items change the visuals of your hidden blade. They can give you increased melee damage, increased Phantom Blade capacity and increase the duration it takes you to revive your friends.
    • Waist items change the visuals of your belt & sash. They mostly impact your carry capacity, such as increased cherry bombs, increased smoke bombs, etc. They can also increase your HP.
    • Finally, chest items change the visuals of your iconic Assassin’s robes. They change your defense, blending time (while hiding in crowds) and the time it takes for a guard to detect you.
    How did you implement the skill system in ACU? Which skills can be acquired and how?

    In Assassin’s Creed Unity, you’re playing Arno’s story, but when you start you’re not an Assassin. Customization is Arno’s progression, meaning his journey to become a master Assassin. As Arno grows into the role of an Assassin, you pick up skills, and you acquire weapons and gear – all of which affect the way you play the game. And because Assassin’s Creed Unity continues to be built around a strong narrative and will deliver a seamless cooperative experience, it makes sense to maintain the same character in both solo and COOP play.

    You, the player, can therefore specialize through the skill system or through his equipment. The team worked very hard to implement this new system and we are very proud of it! The skill system will add depth and give more freedom to the player. It will reinforce the way the player plays the game.

    How important is customization in the shared experience?

    Customizing Arno is an important part of the Assassin’s Creed Unity experience, whether playing alone or with friends. Customizing your gear and skills will help you reinforce your strengths and play the game the way you want to play it. Because Unity is designed to be more open ended in its mission design, this makes areal difference.

    Having a specialized Assassin also opens the door for complementarity. Consequently, if you’re playing with your friends, you’ll be able tochoose complementary skills in order to become more powerful as a unit. If you want to be the stealth player, you can choose skills and equipment that will reinforce this approach.

    For example, I might use my fully-upgraded eagle sense to share tactical information with all my teammates. Or, if combat is more my angle, I canchoose stronger weapons and armor.

    All in all, we have four specialties to choose from: “Melee” focuses on offense, “Health” focuses on defense, “Ranged” is all about Navigation and Assassination, and “Stealth” is about pure stealth.

    How’s the game being adjusted to co-op? Do missionsdiffer from single player or is there a higher difficulty level?

    To ensure players are aware of the challenge they are getting themselves into before starting a mission, we implemented a star rating system. In order to evaluate and choose his missions, the player will also be able to check his personalized Arno’s rating – thanks to a newly designed algorithm reviewing his equipment and skills.

    Can you tell us more about Elise?

    Elise de la Serre, born in 1770, is a strong-willedand intense new character, affiliated with the Templars. The only daughter of François and Julie De La Serre, Élise grew up in a modestly wealthy but incredibly privileged environment. As a member of the aristocracy in the waning days of the Ancien Regime, she had access to the finest tutors, medicine, and food available. After her mother’s death in 1778, Élise spent a great deal of time traveling, including several years of study in Paris. After her father’s death, she seems to vanish from documented history, likely as a result of Revolutionary efforts to purge records of the nobility.

    As far as her hobbies are concerned, the fiery Templar enjoys acrobatics, fencing, horsemanship, … and manipulation !

    What is the relation between Arno and Elise?

    Arno and Elise grew up together. As children they were friends, but the friendship matured as they did. Elise and Arno are two sides to the same coin. She is extremely driven, fiercely independent and deeply in love with Arno. Their choices and events around them have brought them to this point but while Arno is on a quest for redemption, Elise is driven by vengeance.

    What can you tell us about the diversity of Paris’ districts in the game ? Does the atmosphere really differ from one place to another?

    The game takes place in the massive and multi-layered city of Paris. It is composed of seven districts, but they’re more than just districts. They are cities within the city, with different atmospheres, unique visuals and original gameplay themes. The district you are playing in will directly impact the theme and tone of missionsand side content.

    For instance, a player exploring the “Ile De La Cité” district which is a more religious and medieval district, will have a totally different experience than a player exploring “Le Marais” or “La Bièvre”, two districts also very different from one another. In “Le Louvre”, the player will discover large monuments and open spaces crowded with barricades and soldiers. As for the military district, it will be even more open, which will contrast with “Le Champ de Mars”, a district essentially made of large buildings. Finally, “Le Quartier Latin” is more artistic and full of students. And there are also richer environments where the player will be able to explore nobles’ villas. All in all, the player willexperience a great variety of structures and landscapes when exploring the different districts.

    Also, plenty of screenshots(that are too many and large to post) can be found here.

    Outside of the original and ACIII, I haven't been this excited for a new Assassin's Creed.

    EDIT:

    Look. Unity gameplay. Omnomnomnom.

    I'll be honest. I wasn't interested in this. Not until I found out that Norman Reedus was going to be involved. Now I am hyped. All the hype.
