This is a fantasy based on reality.
Final Fantasy XV, originally called Final Fantasy Versus XIII, is the fifteenth installment in the main Final Fantasy series and a former entry in the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy sub-series. The extent to which it connects to Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Type-0 has been reduced, and it now features an original lore.[1][2][3] The game was released worldwide on November 29, 2016 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It supports the PlayStation 4 Pro, but is optimized for the console's standard version.[4] A PC version was announced at Gamescom 2017 and will release in early 2018 for Steam, Origin, and the Windows 10 Store. An episodic mobile remake named Pocket Edition was also announced and is scheduled to release in Fall 2017 for iOS, Android, and Windows 10.[5]
The story is told over the course of 15 chapters. It focuses on Noctis Lucis Caelum, a prince from the kingdom of Lucis who fights to reclaim his throne and must go on to fulfill a greater destiny. Final Fantasy XV aims to examine its characters' humanity and place them in a more realistic setting than most Final Fantasy games. Its prominent themes are friendship, destiny, and legacy.
The first half of Final Fantasy XV is open-world and enables players to take on a variety of sidequests, explore, and play mini-games. Objectives later become more specific, in accordance with other Final Fantasy titles.
Final Fantasy XV is part of the Final Fantasy XV Universe sub-franchise. It takes place parallel to the feature film Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, and has a prequel anime series Brotherhood Final Fantasy XV. The game is also connected to A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV, Justice Monsters Five, and King's Knight -Wrath of the Dark Dragon-. Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition, a new version of the game for mobile platforms was announced at Gamescom 2017.
Final Fantasy XV is an open world, action role-playing game in which players assume control of Noctis Lucis Caelum, a prince who can perform a variety of actions related to both field exploration and combat.
The kingdom of Lucis is a single, connected landmass that is explored primarily in the party's car, the Regalia. Locations can also be investigated on foot and by riding on chocobos. Certain locations that were visited in the past can be fast-traveled to.
Players can use gil to purchase items and equipment and accept sidequests from the NPCs they encounter. These offer additional rewards and allow for gameplay experiences that are separate from the main story. During some cutscenes, players can choose how Noctis interacts with other characters.
It is possible to continue playing Final Fantasy XV after its story concludes. Post-game content includes new quests and challenges that cannot be unlocked otherwise. New equipment also becomes available. This additional material is intended for parties that are of a higher level than that required for the story's final chapters.
Final Fantasy XV supports the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One's social media functions allowing players to share screenshots and video clips. One can also access the PlayStation 4 version on the PlayStation Vita, which uses data streamed from the console version.
Battle systemEdit
The battle system is called "Active X Battle," or "AXB." Combat is seamless and takes place in real-time environments that incorporate all regions of the surrounding landscape. The "Wait Mode" freezes time when the player is not moving so the player can select targets and actions at their leisure. This was enhanced with the implementation of the Crown Update, which enables players to obtain information from Libra at a faster pace, as well as replenish the Wait Gauge by defeating enemies.[6]
Players can destroy parts of some foes' bodies, temporarily debilitating them. Monsters come in many sizes and use different attacks, even if they are of the same species.
Combat begins as soon as Noctis and friends are approached by an enemy, attack an enemy, or get too close to it. A red "encounter gauge" appears at the top of the screen when one is near a hostile unit; players usually have the option to flee at any time.
The party's HP is restored over time. If the members lose all their HP they enter the "Danger" status and are unable to attack or use abilities until they are rescued or use an item. Party members in Danger status continuously lose max HP. Once their max HP becomes 0, they get Knocked Out. Knocked out party members can still be saved with a revival item, and there is a window to revive Noctis if he becomes KO'd. If Noctis remains KO for too long, it is Game Over. As a result of the day one patch, the screen now flashes red when Noctis is low on HP.[6] HP lost from the max HP gauge slowly recovers overtime, but much more inefficiently than the regular HP. The player can use recovery items like Elixirs to heal the whole HP gauge.
Noctis can respawn enemies by blowing a special whistle included in the Final Fantasy XV day one patch.[6]
There are three available button layouts. Combat relies primarily upon three buttons.
The attack button has Noctis attack enemies. When held, Noctis will continuously attack with his selected weapon, and when out of range he will approach his target to attack them. Pressing the attack button in combination with directional buttons can execute different versions of the attack. Attack prompts can appear when allies perform Techniques and after parrying enemy attacks. The player can perform aerial attacks by jumping before using the attack button, or by warp-striking to airborne targets. When Noctis learns Airstep from the Ascension grid, he can stay airborne when attacking, although this will consume MP. Attacking while mid-air can have Noctis perform different attacks than usual, such as descending upon enemies from above with a spear.
The defense button has Noctis phase through enemy attacks when held and dodge roll (when tapped). Phasing through enemy attacks consumes MP, although this can mitigated by unlocking nodes in the Ascension Grid. Holding the defense button next to suitable cover has Noctis grouch and restore his HP and MP more rapidly than usual. Dodge rolling does not make Noctis invincible for the duration of the roll, and is often used for positioning Noctis during battle. The defense button is used to parry certain enemy attacks with a well-timed button press when prompted. Successful parries can usually be followed with a counterattack.
The warp button allows Noctis to point-warp to out-of-the-way locations (when held), or warp-strike to targeted enemies when pressed in combination with the lock-on button. Tapping the warp button has Noctis warp forward, and can be done on the field. Warping consumes MP. Warp-striking enemies deals more damage the further away from Noctis warps. Point-warping fully restores Noctis's MP, and if he is left hanging from a high altitude, it is considered a form of cover and his HP restores faster. Some enemy attacks send Noctis falling through the air, and the player can avoid fall damage by warping mid-fall when the button prompt appears.
If Noctis's allies are nearby, he can team up with them to perform link-strikes, powerful combo finishers that are performed automatically if one is in the proper situation. Noctis and friends can also blindside enemies if they strike from behind.
The player can equip weapons and accessories. Magic is also equipped to a weapon slot. Accessories boost stats provide elemental and status protection, and some are specific to certain party members.
The game has a total of 109 melee weapons. Noctis can equip all weapons and some types are exclusive to him, whereas party members can equip two types of weapons as primary and secondary arms, as well as Elemancy magic. Different weapon types deal different type of damage, and when an enemy is weak to the player's attacks the damage numbers appear orange. When an enemy resists the player's damage, the damage numbers appear purple.
Noctis can have up to four weapons equipped and his fighting style changes depending on which of his equipped weapons is active. The player can freely cycle between them via the d-pad. Some weapons can be upgraded by Cid Sophiar; these are designated by a yellow "+" in the Gear menu. Others boost their wielders' stats when equipped. The royal arms drain Noctis's HP when attacked with, but are often especially strong against daemons.
When Noctis uses firearms, he is unable to string combos together, but he automatically reloads the weapons after enough shots have been fired. Ignis, Gladiolus, and Prompto use their Secondary Arms (Lances, Shields, and Machinery, respectively) situationally.
In imperial bases, Noctis can use heavy arsenal turrets to damage enemies from a distance.
Techniques and the ArmigerEdit
During combat, a tech bar comprised of three segments gradually fills. The player can issue commands to Noctis's allies, as well as any guest characters present. If the party member's Technique is offensive it can usually be followed up with an attack from Noctis if the player presses the attack button at the right time.
Noctis unlocks Armiger when he has collected four Royal Arms. After a circular gauge fills through a combination of offense and defense, the player can activate Armiger to boost his attacks and summon all of his collected Royal Arms to his side. These shield Noctis from enemy attacks and makes all of his moves warps. While in Armiger, maneuvers don't expend HP or MP. While Armiger is active, Noctis can perform an Armiger Chain, a powerful technique that allows the entire party to damage foes several times in rapid succession. Armiger ends when the gauge is depleted.
There are two types of magic: elemental magic and ring magic. Elemental magic is available from the start, and ring magic is unlocked in the thirteenth chapter.
Elemental magic does not cost MP. Instead, it must be equipped like a weapon. Spells in this class can be used a certain number of times before the spell will be depleted, and they can also be equipped by Noctis's allies. Players can craft new spells through the art of Elemancy. The player can restock the necessary elemental energy by absorbing it from special spots on the field. By adding treasures, ingredients, or items to a spell during crafting, players can create magic that has a variety of different effects. For example, some debilitate enemies, while others heal their caster. Elemancy allows players to obtain powerful spells early on.
Elemental spells are area-of-effect attacks that harm both enemies and the party. Weather affects a spell's effectiveness; casting Fire on a clear day chars the surrounding landscape and causes monsters that fear flames to flee. Conversely, Fire spells are quickly extinguished when it is raining, but Thunder spells are enhanced. Damage the environment sustains from magic is not permanent.
Ring magic is exclusive to Noctis and is accessed when the Ring of the Lucii is equipped and set as his active weapon. Called "arcana," spells accessed through the ring consume MP. They either consume an enemy's life-force to heal Noctis, damage foes through a well-timed dodge, or eradicate all foes in the area.
Summons are called "Astrals." They behave situationally and can only be summoned by Noctis. They are acquired through story events.
The chance to summon comes up randomly when in battle. The game does a "summon roll" every ten seconds, determining whether a summoning chance will activate or not. Different summons have different conditions for being summoned. For example, Titan has a chance of being summoned if Noctis's allies are in KO or Danger state. When the summoning chance activates, the screen turns red, small crystal lights float in the air, and the battle music changes. The player can then call an Astral by holding the necessary button. If Noctis is killed the summon is cancelled, or the player can ignore the summon chance and it will eventually dissipate.
The summons are the strongest attacks the player can perform, and deal damage to all enemies in battle. The player can summon once per battle.
By spending ability points (AP), players can unlock abilities and stat boosts for Noctis and his comrades. Accumulated AP is shared between all party members. The Ascension doesn't only affect combat, but can also be used to extend buffs obtained from food cooked at camp, make Noctis sprint longer, among various other effects.
There are nine skill trees:
- Armiger
- Magic
- Recovery
- Techniques
- Combat
- Teamwork
- Stats
- Exploration
- Wait Mode
Difficulty modesEdit
Final Fantasy XV has two difficulties: Easy and Normal. These can be switched between freely. The ability to change difficulty levels was decided upon based on feedback developers received on Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae.[7] Carbuncle can appear to save the player in the Easy Mode.
The fieldEdit
The creatures in the world are properly depicted as alive. If you think about fighting something, you can fight it. Just watching the way everything moves is pleasant. Making a virtual world that is so alive is important in making the player feel absorbed in it.
The world of Final Fantasy XV is seamless and initially open. The player is free to drive or fly the Regalia without hindrance. Noctis and friends can call chocobos to their side by blowing a whistle, and as of the day one patch, Noctis is able to warp outside of battle and use the car's "music player" while exploring.
Noctis can fish at designated locations, and he can find non-player characters some of whom give him quests. Some portions of the surrounding terrain can be destroyed. Noctis's friends occasionally point things out to him, and the conversations they have with him often allow the player to discover optional material organically. Players can see their destination on the world map by looking for or ; this aids navigation and prevents one from getting lost. Items can be procured from the field and glow before they are picked up; many of them can be exchanged for gil, a currency that can also be earned for completing sidequests. During some cutscenes, players are given the option to choose how Noctis will respond.
Final Fantasy XV features a day and night cycle, which affects which enemies spawn and which fish are around fishing spots. Daemons only spawn at night, and if the battle draws for so long the sun comes up they will take damage from the sunlight. Initially, the Regalia cannot be driven on auto-pilot during the night, but the option for it unlocks at after level 30. The player can still fast-travel with the car. The Starscourge gradually causes the nights to lengthen, and thus the party will wake up later in the later chapters, and the sun begins to go down earlier.
Camping, lodging and restaurantsEdit
Camps are safe havens at which the accumulated Experience Points of Noctis and his friends are tallied. They are also where the party eats meals to gain status boosts. Camp can be made at any time of day, but only in designated areas. If Noctis and friends do not rest they do not level up, and their status boosts gradually disappear.
At camp, the player selects which meal Ignis cooks determined from the list of ingredients the party has obtained from shops, procurement points and monsters. Each meal has a different effect, and some meals are different party members' favorites.
When camping in certain locations, Noctis is invited by his friends to accompany them on tours, sidequests with special objectives. During a tour time does not progress until it is completed and the player cannot stray from the area near the camp.
Increased monster activity at night is an incentive for players to camp. The party can camp out in the open or stay in hotels or other facilities at outposts. Using these adds a multiplier to the party's accumulated experience, but it does not allow status-boosting meals to be eaten.
Another way to eat outside camp is by visiting restaurants. The dishes cost gil but provide buffs that last longer than the initial buff duration for camp food. At restaurants the player can also talk to the local tipster to unveil icons on the map and do hunts.
Mini-games and sidequestsEdit
Players can enjoy fishing, chocobo racing, and the pinball game Justice Monsters Five. Players can also take on over 200 sidequests that promote exploration and offer several bonuses.
New Game PlusEdit
New Game Plus was added in version 1.03. This enables the player to re-experience Final Fantasy XV after clearing it while retaining the following from their previous playthrough:
- Character levels
- Ascension grid progress
- Collected weapons
- Collected items
- Obtained recipes
- Gil earned
In New Game Plus, Noctis's Engine Blade returns to its most basic form; any upgrades to it are not carried over. Players also cannot maintain the Regalia Type-F.
DLC and VREdit
Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto will have their own downloadable episodes, wherein players can take control of them and experience their unique playstyles.
At E3 2016, it was announced that Final Fantasy XV would include a virtual reality experience in which players control Prompto Argentum. It was to feature first-person shooter gameplay and a scene where the player could sit in the passenger's seat while Cindy drives the Regalia around Lucis. This project eventually evolved into Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV, a standalone PlayStation VR exclusive fishing game announced at E3 2017. The team decided to shift focus towards fishing, as it offers a more immersive experience than the original prototype shooting demo.[9] It is scheduled to release on November 21, 2017.[5] Monster of the Deep is the first part of the VR games; Business Division 2 has plans to further develop a Part 2 using their newfound experience with Part 1.[10]
O'er rotted Soil, under blighted Sky, A dread Plague the Wicked has wrought. In the Light of the Gods, Sword-Sworn at his Side, 'Gainst the Dark the King's Battle is fought. From the Heavens high, to the Blessed below, Shines the Beam of a Peace long besought. Long live thy Line and these Stones divine, For the Night When All comes to Naught.
The world of Eos is comprised of three continents: Lucis, Accordo, and Niflheim. The northeastern land of Lucis possesses a powerful Crystal, which was gifted by the gods in antiquity to the reigning Caelum dynasty. Accordo, located in the south, is made up of islands and has been annexed by the Niflheim empire, which lies to the west and benefits from its advanced magitek technology. The province of Tenebrae is under Niflheim's control, but maintains some autonomy due to the presence of the Oracle, a priestess who has the power to fight the Starscourge, a plague that lengthens nights and turns people and animals into vicious daemons. Watching over Eos are the Astrals, divine beings that can appear in the mortal realm, usually as colossal and powerful beings.
For hundreds of years Lucis and Niflheim have been at war. While many lands have been lost to the empire, the Lucian capital of Insomnia remains untouched due to the Wall, a barrier maintained by the king and the Crystal's magic. Peace talks have begun in hopes of bringing an end to the conflict, one of the conditions being a marriage of Prince Noctis and Lady Lunafreya.

In a matter of days, the Kingdom of Lucis is to sign an armistice, ending a long and bitter conflict with Niflheim. Ahead of the ceremony, Prince Noctis, heir to the Lucian throne, sets forth from his homeland to formalize the union of states through his marriage to the Lady Lunafreya of the imperial province of Tenebrae.
The offer of peace, however, is no more than a ruse to lower the Lucian shield, and the imperial army takes the crown city and its sacred crystal in one fell swoop. En route to his destination, Noctis is shocked to learn that he, his father the king, and his betrothed are believed dead.
Overnight, the dream of peace has faded into a distant memory. His world crumbling around him, Noctis has naught but his resolve and his loyal companions to see him through the trials to come.
Noctis Lucis Caelum travels to Altissia, the capital city of Accordo, where he is to wed his childhood friend, Lady Lunafreya. En route, Noctis learns the Niflheim empire has attacked his home, the Crown City Insomnia, killed his father and stolen Lucis's Crystal. Together with his friends—Ignis Scientia, Gladiolus Amicitia, and Prompto Argentum—Noctis seeks out Cor Leonis, a member of the Crownsguard who tasks him with retrieving the weapons of his ancestors, which will grant the power necessary for reclaiming the throne. Noctis meets the suspicious chancellor of Niflheim, Ardyn Izunia, and visits the Disc of Cauthess, the resting place of the Astral Titan. After completing Titan's trial, Noctis learns the Archaean was encouraged to forge a covenant with him by Lunafreya, who is an Oracle able to talk to the Astrals.
In Duscae, Noctis is aided by Gentiana, a Messenger of the gods onto mankind, to make a pact with Ramuh. As their journey continues, Noctis and his friends notice the nights are getting longer and daemons appear more frequently. This is because of the Starscourge, a plague that brings forth darkness.
When Noctis reaches Altissia, Lunafreya rouses Leviathan, who goes on a rampage. Ardyn disrupts the rite by stabbing Lunafreya, but she still empowers Noctis by calling upon the past kings of Lucis who lend Noctis their power, enabling him to defeat the Hydraean. In a dream he has while unconscious, Noctis is visited by Lunafreya's spirit that gives him the Ring of the Lucii. When Noctis awakens, a blinded Ignis confirms Lunafreya has died. The two reunite with Gladiolus and Prompto, and board a train bound for Gralea, the capital of Niflheim, in hopes of reclaiming the stolen Crystal. Noctis's mission evolves from simply reclaiming Lucis, to saving the world from the darkness of the Starscourge, as without Lunafreya's powers as the Oracle the world is being plunged into an endless night. Noctis hopes to use the light of the Crystal to combat it.
On his way to Tenebrae, the home of the Oracles' bloodline, Noctis is tricked by Ardyn into pushing Prompto off the train. Noctis learns Lunafreya's contact with the Astrals was slowly killing her, and he receives Shiva's blessing from Gentiana, who reveals herself to be the Glacian in human form. In Gralea, Noctis is separated from Ignis and Gladiolus, and infiltrates Zegnautus Keep alone with the Ring of the Lucii as his only weapon. The ring is a royal heirloom said to be of divine provenance that houses the spirits of the past kings of Lucis that lends the old kings' power to the current king. Noctis is haunted by Ardyn's disembodied voice as he reunites with his allies and rescues Prompto. The foursome comes face-to-face with Emperor Iedolas Aldercapt, who has been turned into a daemon.
Noctis reluctantly leaves his allies behind to approach the Crystal, believing it has the power to destroy daemons. He is absorbed inside it, and transported to the Astral Realm where he learns from Bahamut he is the prophesied True King. He could end the Starscourge by eliminating Ardyn, a Lucian healer anointed by the Crystal 2,000 years ago who became corrupted and made immortal by daemonic influence.
Noctis returns to the mortal realm a decade later, and joins with Ignis, Gladiolus, and Prompto to confront Ardyn in the ruins of Insomnia. After they defeat Ifrit, the antagonistic Astral who brings forth the Starscourge, Noctis defeats Ardyn in a climatic duel. Noctis ascends the throne and gives his life to end the eternal night that has consumed Eos by channeling the power of the past kings and the Crystal's light. Returning to the Astral Realm, Noctis teams up with Lunafreya and his ancestors to destroy Ardyn's spirit. The True King and the Ring of the Lucii fade away as peace is restored to the world. The sun rises, daemons disappear, and the spirits of Noctis and Lunafreya fall asleep on the Lucian throne.
The story of Final Fantasy XV focuses on war.[12] It also touches upon one's defiance of the will of divine beings.[13] When asked about the themes of Final Fantasy XV, Hajime Tabata stated the following:
We initially decided on three keywords: 'Journey', 'Companions' and 'Car. 'For the 'Journey' element, we aimed to offer the user the feeling of an actual road trip. We spent time experimenting with how to convey a sense of travel, making the world as seamless as possible and offering the player a panned-out vantage point. The most transformative element of the journey is the presence of your "Companions." Ensuring each of the characters feel real will help the player become emotionally involved with the party, enabling them to share the joys and hardships that await the group on their travels. That's why we paid a lot of attention to details such as small habits and behaviors, all the way down to the sense of distance maintained by each character in their relationships with Noctis. This kind of development doesn't happen in leaps and bounds, needing a lot of time and effort in AI and animation, but I think it's shaping up into something we can be proud of. It's a lot of fun to hang out with Noctis and the gang.
The 'Car' has its roots in our core theme, 'parent and child.' Noctis and his companions are traveling in Regis' car. The car connects the son and his father. It's both pivotal to the story experience, and a means of travel. It can also be customized as a game mechanic.
Final Fantasy XV was announced in 2006 as Final Fantasy Versus XIII: the title was intended to show its standing as an opposite of Final Fantasy XIII, along with representing some of its themes.[15] During its transition, Final Fantasy XV became "disconnected" from the mythos: while it exists as a base, specific terminology was removed, and its role was reduced to a low-key thematic connection around which original lore was created. The "Versus XIII" name comes into play in juxtaposition to Final Fantasy XIII and its sequels that take place in fantastical worlds that are literally and culturally disconnected. For "Versus XIII" Square Enix wanted the world to be different from the original Final Fantasy XIII by presenting one whole, connected world. This theme has carried over to Final Fantasy XV in the form of a seamless open world.[16]
In further juxtaposition to Final Fantasy XIII and its white overall color scheme, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and thus Final Fantasy XV, have the theme of black, shown in the cast's clothes, the Kingdom of Lucis, and even the name of the original game engine, "Ebony" (the original name for the engine for Final Fantasy XIII was "White Engine").[17] In continuation, one of the main themes of Final Fantasy XV is brotherhood, which can be seen as juxtaposition to the theme of sisterhood in Final Fantasy XIII (Lightning and Serah, as well as Fang and Vanille).
If Final Fantasy XIII is a deconstruction of the crystal mythology, Final Fantasy XV is a realistic affirmation of it in many ways. Whereas the role of the Warrior of Light in Final Fantasy XIII (l'Cie) was to reject their calling to the crystal (fal'Cie) to express their own free will as humans, the Warrior of Light character in Final Fantasy XV (the kings of Lucis and the True King in particular) follows the calling of the Crystal to save the world. Final Fantasy XV has many callbacks to the early series with the theme of an antagonist empire capturing the crystals of the world, the Crystal choosing a person to save the world, and the theme of light and darkness.
Whereas prior installments like Final Fantasy X, Fabula Nova Crystallis, and the Ivalice Alliance explore the concepts of defying established religions, the choice of one's destiny and fate, and emphasize the power of mankind, Final Fantasy XV explores more classic elements of fantasy regarding the spiritual and theological. These include the communion of the gods and mankind, and their affairs within their world, the maturation of a royal youth into their birthright as ruler, the rise of a hero who becomes a messianic figure, and the concept of inescapable fate.
Playing on the dualism theme, Noctis Lucis Caelum and Lunafreya Nox Fleuret (dressed in black and white respectively), hail from the kingdoms of Lucis ("Light") and Tenebrae ("Darkness"). Luna, whose name means "moon" in Latin, is an Oracle who keeps the darkness of he Starscourge at bay with her powers, stopping the world from being swallowed in an eternal night, similar to how the moon offers a point of illumination in an otherwise dark night. Noctis's name on the other hand is the genitive singular form of the Latin word nox meaning "night".
The darkness and light theme appears to extend to the concepts of life and death. The past kings lend their powers to their ancestors, and the Royal Tombs are places opened for the current king to receive this blessing from the dead. In juxtaposition, Niflheim also gains power from death in the form of daemons, but this is a dark power that at least in Ardyn Izunia's case prevents one's ascend to the afterlife. The Ring of the Lucii, a Lucian royal heirloom, gains power through death as the Crystal's power is transferred into it when the ring-bearing king dies. The True King can restore light to the world by sacrificing his own life.
The powers of light and dark, and life and death, are represented as the Crystal and the daemons and the plague that plunges the world into perpetual darkness: Starscourge. The Crystal is said to hold the soul of the world of Eos, the world's name itself referring to the theme of light and dark: in Greek mythology, Eos is a Titaness and the goddess of the dawn. The Oracle uses their powers to extend the life of the world and its people by keeping the Starscourge at bay, while the King of Lucis must use their own life force to wield the Ring of the Lucii.
The high-ranking Niflheim officials dress in white, whereas Lucians dress in black. Ardyn Izunia's attire uses both colors, and in many ways exists as juxtaposition to Noctis. When Ardyn uses powers similar to Noctis's, he glows red as opposed to Noctis's blue. He represents the forces of darkness where as Noctis is the King of Light. Ardyn is unable to truly die and enter the afterlife, whereas Noctis must sacrifice himself to free the world of Ardyn's influence.
The soundtrack of Final Fantasy XV is primarily composed by Yoko Shimomura, who is known for her contributions to the Kingdom Hearts series. Shimomura's pieces encompass themes of "friendship" and "filial bonds."[18]
Yoko Shimomura has been a part of the Final Fantasy XV staff since the days of Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Since she was initially hired to work on a spin-off title, Shimomura did not feel pressured to follow in the footsteps of other Final Fantasy composers. She had a clear concept for her music, thus she was not effected by the transition into Final Fantasy XV. The transition did mean new music had to be composed, however.[19]
The main theme of Final Fantasy XV, "Somnus," is performed by Aundréa L. Hopkins.[20]. The piece's title refers to Hypnos, the Roman god of sleep, in accordance with the logo.
"Omnis Lacrima" (which means every tear in Latin) is the boss theme. It is the second piece from the game's soundtrack to have been released to the public, and it is a bonus track on Yoko Shimomura's compilation album, memoria: The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura, which was released in 2014.[21] "Omnis Lacrima" is featured in three trailers: the DKΣ3713 trailer released in 2008, the Square Enix 1st Production Department Premier trailer released in 2011, and the trailer released at E3 2013.
A new piece from the soundtrack served as background music for the game's trailer from Tokyo Gameshow 2014. It was a collaboration between Yoko Shimomura and the Video Game Orchestra, a group that previously worked with Masashi Hamauzu during the production of the soundtrack of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.[22]
At Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV, it was revealed a cover of "Stand By Me" by Florence + the Machine would serve as the theme song On August 12, 2016, a new single was released titled "Songs from Final Fantasy XV." It features "Stand By Me" and two new songs: "Too Much Is Never Enough" and "I Will Be."
On September 7, 2016, an hour long called "Final Fantasy XV Live at Abbey Road Studios" was live-streamed on YouTube and Twitch.
The Final Fantasy XV: Original Soundtrack was released on December 21, 2016. It can be purchased for ¥3,800, and it features 80 pieces that span four discs. For ¥5,000 the soundtrack can be obtained on Blu-ray.[23]
Final Fantasy XV was originally titled "Final Fantasy Versus XIII." The game was directed by Tetsuya Nomura, part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy series, and intended to be playable on the PlayStation 3. When Final Fantasy Versus XIII was rebranded, its development team was reorganized. At E3 2013, it was announced the game, now called "Final Fantasy XV," would be for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It operated on a new engine, and Hajime Tabata became its director. When these changes took effect, Final Fantasy Versus XIII was approximately 25% complete.[24] Given its new title, Square Enix had to decide how to preserve as many elements of the game as possible.
Final Fantasy XV operates using Square Enix's Luminous Studio engine. The game is meant to be a "fantasy based on reality," thus its look is derived primarily from present-day Earth. Cars seen in Final Fantasy XV resemble their real-world counterparts, and Roen was contacted to design the costumes of the game's characters. To design a more corporeal world, Square Enix looked to Final Fantasy VIII for inspiration; it added more fantastical elements to the conclusion of Final Fantasy XV in a similar fashion to Final Fantasy VII.
During the development of Final Fantasy XV, Square Enix staff went on trips in small groups. They explored caves, visited a zoo, and climbed mountains for research purposes. Creating a realistic fantasy proved challenging for developers, but they were able to get further inspiration from the depiction of 2015 from the film Back to the Future II.[25] This enabled staff to create locations that were both familiar and unfamiliar. Many of Square Enix's resources had to be allocated or outsourced; the company allowed the architecture surrounding its office in Kyoto to influence that which appears in Final Fantasy XV.[26]
The original scenario of Final Fantasy XV was written by Kazushige Nojima back when the game was still known as "Final Fantasy Versus XIII." This served as the basis of its new story, which is a "road trip adventure" focusing on brotherhood.
Square Enix aimed for Final Fantasy XV to be multi-regional; it was revealed on March 23, 2016 that the game would be the first in Final Fantasy history to be localized into Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. In addition to the standard Japanese and English, Final Fantasy XV was also dubbed in German and French.[27]
On March 30, 2016, Square Enix hosted a promotional event called "Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV." Here, the company revealed the Final Fantasy XV Universe sub-franchise, as well as the initial release date of Final Fantasy XV: September 30, 2016. The game was later delayed until November 29.
Square Enix had been considering a PC port of Final Fantasy XV since before the game launched for consoles.[28] In October, 2016, Hajime Tabata stated this would need to be better than the console versions of Final Fantasy XV, and it would take over a year to develop because Square Enix must adapt the game's engine.[29] At Gamescom 2017, it was announced that the game would be coming to PC as Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition in early 2018.[5]
At E3 2013, Tetsuya Nomura discussed the possibility of Final Fantasy XV having sequels:
In the trailer, there was a line that read 'A World of the Versus Epic,' which suggests that it will be part of an epic. While Final Fantasy XV will have one climax, as a story, we plan to continue it further.
In a later interview at Japan Expo 2013, Nomura was more cautious when asked about this subject:
Obviously we haven't decided yet. We don't have any concrete plan for a future sequel of FFXV, it would be good if we could do that but we can't announce it or say anything into detail for the moment.
In an issue of Game Informer released on April 5, 2015 that focused on Final Fantasy XV, Hajime Tabata stated there are no plans to create sequels to the game.[32]
In March, 2016 at Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV, the Final Fantasy XV Universe sub-franchise was revealed. Square Enix has stated its purpose is to "expand the story and world of Final Fantasy XV to other media," as well as to eliminate the necessity for sequels.[33]
Final Fantasy XV was originally slated for release on September 30, 2016. The game was then delayed until November 29. The original date was prematurely leaked before Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV, at which it was subsequently revealed by Square Enix. According to Hajime Tabata, September 30 was chosen as the initial release date of Final Fantasy XV when he became the game's director in December, 2013.[34] On November 17, 2016, retailers in Peru began selling Final Fantasy XV twelve days in advance.[35]
For $59.99, players could purchase the "Day One Edition" of Final Fantasy XV, which included the downloadable weapon "Masamune." Pre-order incentives for Xbox One users included the Noctis Special Outfit and a Carbuncle pet for the Xbox's avatar feature. Those with a PlayStation 4 could obtain a dynamic theme. The digital version of the "Day One Edition" was available for purchase until January 9, 2017.
For $89.99, players can purchase the "Deluxe Edition" of Final Fantasy XV, which includes Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV on Blu-ray and is packaged in a steelbook decorated with artwork by Yoshitaka Amano. Those who buy this version of Final Fantasy XV can also obtain the "Royal Raiment" costume for Noctis, "Masamune," and the Regalia's "Platinum Leviathan" skin.
30,000 players were able to purchase the "Ultimate Collector's Edition" of Final Fantasy XV for $269.99; this was exclusive to the Square Enix Online Store and included Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV and Brotherhood Final Fantasy XV on Blu-ray, a special soundtrack, a Play Arts Kai Noctis figurine, a 192-page art book, "Royal Raiment," "Masamune," and "Platinum Leviathan." Those who bought this version of Final Fantasy XV also received the "Travel Pack," "Camera Kit," "Angler Set," and "Gourmand Set." Given the demand for these units, Square Enix made an additional 10,000 units available, but restricted them to one copy per person.
American Express appears in Final Fantasy XV as a form of product placement. Those in Japan who obtained a new American Express Gold card or Business Gold Card before August 31, 2016 were able to receive a copy of Final Fantasy XV; the first 100 of these customers were also given a Play Arts Kai Noctis figurine. People who spent over ¥150,000 within three months were rewarded with a ¥10,000 gift card that featured one of five Final Fantasy XV-related designs.[36]
A special PlayStation 4 Slim has been released in honor of Final Fantasy XV. It depicts the moon. Currently, there are no plans to do this with the PlayStation 4 Pro.[37]
PlayStation 4 Pro supportEdit
As of version 1.05, the game supports the PlayStation 4 Pro. It features two new settings named "Lite Mode", which increases the frame rate to 60FPS, and "High Mode", which upscales the visuals to ultra HD 4K resolution.
Downloadable contentEdit
By purchasing a Season Pass, players can access downloadable content. Anyone who purchases this obtains the Gourmand Set, as well as guaranteed access to the following:
- "Holiday Pack" (Free version available)[38]
- "Booster Pack" (Free version available)[38]
- "Episode Gladiolus"
- "Episode Prompto"
- "Episode Ignis"
- "Multiplayer Expansion: Comrades"
The Holiday Pack was released on December 22, 2016. It contains a new outfit for Noctis, "Mog Choco T-Shirt," and carnival tickets that allow access to a special event that is held between January 24 and February 20, 2017. The Season Pass grants access to the Holiday Pack+, which features exclusive items and a second outfit for Noctis, "Carnival Style." All downloaded items are automatically added to the player's inventory upon installation, but the outfits can only be obtained during the event.
On January 24, 2017, all of the game's pre-order DLC was made available for purchase via the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live.
The Booster Pack was available on February 6, 2017, along with a Booster Pack+ version for players who purchased the Season Pass. Episode Gladiolus released on March 28, 2017, and Episode Prompto released in June 27, 2017. Episode Ignis will release in December 2017.
Final Fantasy XV has been updated with various patches since its release, adding new weapons, DLC and story scenes, as well as various quality of life improvements and bug fixes.
Windows EditionEdit
Development on the Windows Edition started in 2017.[39] Alongside support for 4K resolution and HDR, Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition supports up to 8K resolution, Dolby Atmos sound, and a laundry list of Nvidia's GameWorks enhancements, including Nvidia Flow for dynamic fluids, fire, and smoke; HairWorks for more realistic hair, and fur; Nvidia ShadowWorks, a combination of soft shadows and ambient occlusion for more realistic shadows; Nvidia Turf Effects for dynamic grass and vegetation; and Nvidia VXAO, another form of ambient occlusion that assists with lighting.
The Final Fantasy XV team considers the libraries Nvidia provides with that for GeForce the best fit for creating the visuals and realize the vision of what they want for Final Fantasy XV. Thus, Square Enix approached Nvidia and asked them to help out on the PC version, and Nvidia adapted their tools and systems for them.[40]
Square Enix will be allowing user-generated content and will provide a level editor so players can create their own quests. As far as other mods go, the team will look at how the PC audience reacts to the Windows Edition with these and how many of them actually engage with it. Depending on that, the team might start thinking about what to contribute or what other tool sets to provide. The team has some concerns at how "extreme people might take the mods" and hope people would take advantage of it in good taste.[41]
The Windows Edition will feature a first-person mode, as Director Hajime Tabata is hoping to broaden the game's appeal beyond its typical RPG audience. In October 2017, the team has reached about 50 per cent completion on this mode, but it's been well-received among those in the development team. In providing this mode, the team needed to make large adjustments, like the player character's VFX, displayed animations and camera movement.[39]
According to Tabata developing a PC version has been easy compared to the console release, which required reconstruction from the start for both the game and the engine. In a global PC market, games need to be played on a wide range of specs, but as of October 2017, Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition is at the high end of these settings. The team is in the process of pushing things out on a lower spec. Because PC represents the smallest of the game platforms in Japan, the team doesn't expect to see a similar performance to the console version.[39]

Pocket EditionEdit
Nintendo SwitchEdit
Square Enix is looking to port Final Fantasy XV to Nintendo Switch. Technical tests to see if the same native engine used on other console versions would work on the Switch were unsatisfactory, and the team is looking at customizing the engine. Square Enix is talking to Epic (who own the Unreal environment) about a possible partnership.[43]
Critical receptionEdit
According to Metacritic, Final Fantasy XV has a score of 81 out of 100.[44]
The game has been criticized for feeling rushed toward the end with gaps to the story, leaving players feeling the game was unfinished. The development team is aware of the feedback and this has been said to be the biggest issue for them. Though there was not enough time to include everything the developers had wanted to, and though they would have preferred to put these things in the main story, the team plans to keep including the parts that have been left out via updates and DLCs. Because it takes time and money, the team will prioritize the things with strong demand.[45]
Director Hajime Tabata has lamented that the main game has certain aspects that lack explanation. He denied the scattered nature of the final story had to with salvaging the Final Fantasy Versus XIII project, and instead simply said that creating a grand adventure on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is a hard task to accomplish, and that the team may have lacked the strength, or abilities and skills to perfectly complete the game. He stressed he and his team don't consider the end result a low achievement, and are proud of the game regardless. One of the goals through downloadable content—which will continue for an indeterminate time to come—is to patch plot holes and give players a better understanding of the game's story.[46]
Commercial performanceEdit
Speaking with European press after Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV, Hajime Tabata stated Final Fantasy XV should sell 10,000,000 copies "to be a success". He then clarified to Famitsu this being merely his team's ultimate goal, and not the point where the game turns a profit.[47]
A half-hour after they were made available for pre-order, the 30,000 copies of Final Fantasy XV Ultimate Collector's Edition were sold out.[48] 10,000 more copies were produced, and they went on sale May 23, 2016.[49] When the next batch of Final Fantasy XV Ultimate Collector's Editions was made available in Europe, they were immediately sold out.
During an Active Time Report on April 21, 2016, it was announced Final Fantasy XV pre-orders were doing better in Japan than expected.[49] The next month, Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda stated his company expected Final Fantasy XV to be its biggest FY2017/3 title, as it had already racked up an impressive amount of pre-orders worldwide.[50]
Two days after the game's official release Square Enix announced that the game had topped five million in worldwide shipment and digital sales. It broke the record for most first-day digital sales in Japan and saw a new record for the total of release date shipment and downloads in Asian regions excluding Japan.[51] The game recouped its development costs in the first 24 hours of its release.[52]
The game debuted in Japan with almost 700,000 copies sold (excluding digital sales). Director Hajime Tabata commented that the ration of sales between the Japan and overseas was "as expected", with sales in Japan being "pretty good" considering the situation of the local market, referring to the small hardware installed base in Japan.[53] Final Fantasy XV had the best console launch month in the US for the franchise. It was the best-selling title on PS4 for the month and the second best selling title for December overall.[54] On 10th January 2017 Square Enix publicized the game had shipped and sold digitally over six million units.[55] In September 2017, Tabata said they had sold over 6.5 million units.[41]
Packaging artworkEdit
Physical copies of Final Fantasy XV have reversible covers. One side features the game's logo on a plain background, while the other hosts a picture.
At E3 2016, the cover for North American versions of Final Fantasy XV was revealed. This was changed slightly upon release, and it was revealed Mat Kishimoto, the Senior Product Marketing Manager at Square Enix America, sent over 50 concepts for the cover artwork to the Business Division 2 art team for feedback before the final design was chosen. Takeshi Nozue, the director of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, also gave advice during this process.[56]
A live demo titled Final Fantasy XV: The Overture was featured at Tokyo Game Show in 2014.[57] Another demo, Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae, was made available to those who purchased Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. This was available for a limited time[58] and upgraded a short time later to Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae 2.0.
Square Enix had planned a free version of Final Fantasy XV: The Overture.[59] It later revealed Platinum Demo – Final Fantasy XV at the Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event in March, 2016. This featured an updated battle system, and it was made available until March 31, 2017 due to fan demand.[60]
Throughout 2016, fans had other opportunities to try Final Fantasy XV. That summer at E3, they were able to battle the Astral Titan in the exclusive Trial of Titan demo. During an Active Time Report on November 10, 2016, Final Fantasy XV Judgment Disc was announced. Set for release on November 11, this demo allowed players to experience a portion of the first chapter of Final Fantasy XV. It was promised bugs found in Final Fantasy XV Judgment Disc would be fixed.[60]

Final Fantasy XV has many allusions to the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy series, the numbers 13 and 15, other Final Fantasy games, real-world locations and products, popular culture and folklore and mythologies.
- There are many small details in Final Fantasy XV. For example, Noctis drinks coffee in a different fashion from his allies because he is a prince.[70]
- In the Final Fantasy XV reveal trailer shown at E3 2013, Noctis uses a "Link Form" command to perform many complex actions.[71]
- Final Fantasy XV is the first main-series Final Fantasy game since Final Fantasy IX to feature a party comprised of four characters.
- Final Fantasy XV was released around the same time as the CW Invasion crossover arc. As a result, commercials for the game aired between episodes of Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow.

stfu bitch
Why are there 12 year old Anonymous's insulting each other on Johns reply thread lolol
no need to put down 12 year olds, and these guys are more like 6 anyways
fucktard, indeed
stfu fuckass
Hey I've been kicking Hayabusa's ass in DOA5. He's like a total pussy character. I'd change my handle in your place.
He's had that name since before DOA5 and NG3, back when Hayabusa was a beast and totally OP and Ninja Gaiden was still synonymous with old school harsh difficulty.
mikan and yui
hell yeah mikan and yui
de ja vu anyone?
Super Interesting.
I came here for some Tearju. There's no Tearju. Not even Ryoko. So, I'll leave now.
Does this shit even have a story anymore?
Yeah, it basically goes along the lines of, once upon a time there where some cute girls with nice boobs and cute butts. And then they..
You can see everything in that glory wormhole.
I think I just coined the appropriate term for how Yami-chan is using her wormhole powers.
yay! more forced cunnilingus
more tearju she is soo damn hot, i hope they take out lala an haruna they are just taking down the series
So Lala does know how to feel shame..
Bitch mutant VS Bitch Alien episode !!!! How disappoint !!!
Going that far w/o fucking - again~
Why are these images always like 20x20 pixels?
Might as well have red flashing lights going "THE TAIL = VAGINA"
Only Yabuki could find a way to make "where's Waldo" fun.
Oh hey, it's Lala.
...Seem I forget she existed.
I see what you did there :D
This series needs to end with him impregnating all the horny girls in his harem.
That'd would be apropiate.
That can't happen if there's no end planned... which helps to explain why it is the way it is.
Rito's so beta he doesn't deserve to fuck anybody, much less impregnate them.
whenever I see a guy getting some in a manga and I feel like he doesn't deserve it it's usually some asshole that fits the alpha stereotype (take whatever you want, even if by force)
Gotta fuck'em all !
Sorairo March is releasing another Tearju doujin? How'd I miss that? Oh god, and the Toranoana samples show her getting DPed this time. I really hope someone scans this.
i'm liking sankaku's new background.
Same old pussy outlines over and over again. Japan is a pussy outline lover nation.

Dealer Service Reviews
Hands down the bestWritten by tommyk2 on 09/27/08 12:00:00 AM PDT Go back to Service reviews
Recommend this dealer? No
I am 46 years old and have had several new cars and been in many dealerships (as well as countless other customer service situations), and Gorges Volvo has the best service department I have ever had the experience of visiting and using. They did only the service I wanted -- no questions asked. Get this: I even wanted a particular service (timing belt) and they said, no, it's not time yet. Can you imagine? And, they also said my brakes are fine, the squeaking is only because of off brand disk pads, but they'll last at least 10,000 more miles. Speed, politeness, acceptable prices, and cleanliness of the facility all added up to the best service ever! Even the shuttle driver was a great guy!

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Additionally we are shipping H3F3B Antibodies (12) and and many more products for this protein.
Showing 4 out of 5 products:
In H3f3a (show H3F3A Proteins) and H3f3b (show H3F3A Proteins) null mouse embryonic stem cells, H3.3 deficiency results in reduced levels of H3K9me3 level, H4K20me3 and ATRX (show ATRX Proteins) at the telomeres, accompanied with an increase in telomeric transcription.
histone H3 (show HIST3H3 Proteins) methylation plays a role in T cell differentiation into the natural killer T cell lineage.
H3.3 is a crucial maternal factor (show ZAR1 Proteins) for oocyte reprogramming
Results demonstrate a role for a modifiable residue within a histone-variant-specific context during reprogramming and identifies a novel function for mammalian H3.3 in the initial formation of dsRNA-dependent heterochromatin.
Results support the hypothesis that histone H3.3 (show H3F3A Proteins) is incorporated after disruption of nucleosomes mediated by transcription elongation.
H3F3A and H3F3B mutation analysis appears to be a highly specific, although less sensitive, diagnostic tool for the distinction of GCTB and chondroblastoma from other giant cell-containing tumors.
A remarkable picture of tumor type specificity for histone H3.3 (show H3F3A Proteins) driver alterations emerges, indicating that histone H3.3 (show H3F3A Proteins) residues, mutations and genes have distinct functions.
DAXX functions as a bona fide histone chaperone involved in the replication-independent deposition of H3.3
Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene contains introns and its mRNA is poyadenylated, unlike most histone genes. The protein encoded is a member of the histone H3 family.

I think that sounds fine pp
I have a question for you all. Can you tell me what time your baby is going to bed for the night? We've managed to get babylaughalot to go down by 10pm (most nights anyway) instead of midnight, but I know this should be earlier and I should be aiming for around 7pm and just wondered how many of your little ones are actually asleep by this time at this age?
Pp I would go. In LO gets cranky step out.
Hi dona and lane. I'm feeling as rough as a badgers arse. I'm sure that's an actual saying and I've not made it up.
Meds have stopped me puking except in morning (noon by the time i wake up) but that's ok.
Jut been crap all the time. DH has been helping alot (hence in bed till noon). He does morning feed.
And have booking in app on Saturday.
Off to India in two weeks. Although MAY have to post pone our trip as SIL hasn't had her baby yet, due 14th now booked in for an induction on 26th. We won't go unless she has the baby first...
In bed now. Might start on a mini dexter marathon.
No chance here miss
Into bedclothes, plus/minus bath, between 7 and 8, then feeds/naps until 9 or 9.30, then bed. Evenings? What are they?!
Glass of wine sounds like just what I need too Eliza!
Crap day, LO been crying every time I put her down. Probably a good job there's no booze in the house!
Miss laugh alot. LO is in bed now... But that's the first time in ages!
I was bringing him up at 6/7 n stuff. But last week when MS got bad I was in bed two days n DH took over. Since LO has been in bed at 8/9ish. But his has all coincided with him sleeping thro again! Yeppie.
He has done a couple 12 hour stretches! But mostly 10 hours. The first night he cried at 4.30. I was so bad couldn't get out of bed. N DH took ages, by the time I shoved him enough to wake him LO was asleep again second night same thing. Third night slept through.
Grrrrrrr!! Collected Dottie early as had done what housework I had allocated myself today
don't want to be too fly and was sat there bored so went and got her for cuddles - which meant I had prepped dinner but she wanted feeding just as the salmon needed cooking - dh did it all brings it in ala half raw salmon and cold watercress sauce!!! My favouritist dinner and he balls it up!!! Thank god there's a bottle of wine in the fridge!!!
detective car insurance is a rip off though him being fussy as to which car he has would me - surely you should get the bigger car for Oscar and his accompaniments?? I have the big car for kids/baby/dog/big shop/eBay pick ups while he has the stupidly tiny micro car - though we did mange 2 trips to France in it with 4 of us plus crap - was v cramped!! Though on our recent jaunt to Manchester I still manage to fill the whole of the boot with what if crap - what if we need the play mat, what if we need the steriliser lol
In other news my box of sweets arrived but there's not a chance it will all fit in the silly little gift box I bought!!! Either I fashion my own or make another trip into town!! Or I could just eat enough sweets til they fit??? Anyone want a dib dab or pineapple cube??
<admires new thread>
Hallo you lovely bosomy bunch
P has been marginally less grumpy today so she might just avoid being swapped for a kitten.
Hope tutoring goes well MM. I doubt anyone will notice some baby vom. I once taught a class of seniors with my blouse completely unbuttoned. Noone said a thing.
Insurance costs are scandalous detective. Enjoy your bath.
miss p goes to sleep at 7pm and stays asleep until we wake her at 10:30 for meds. Don't know why - in fact I suspect she would like it earlier if she could. I wish I could bottle P's sleep and post it to you all
as long as we keep enough for us!
Another cunting thread
Why oh why after feeling fed up yesterday, I've come home tonight at 6pm, bedtime to do and I'm in the mood for fucking cleaning. What's wrong with me?! Wierdo
miss M goes down between half 9 and half 10 for the night. She's tired from earlier but doesn't give in
detective That sounds shit. Anyone who changes car on a policy would be to a newly owned car. Nobheads! Would it not have been cheaper to cancel and start a new policy with someone else?
When I passed my test years ago, I passed end of April, DHs insurance was up for renewal at end August. He rang up to add me to the insurance as a named driver and the twats wanted £550!!! For 4 months as a named driver. I bought my own car, got my own policy and that only cost £650 in my name. When he renewed in sept he added me then as a named driver and it ended up being only £50 more. I reckon they just pluck numbers from the air
miss, we are ditto to bigpig - can conk out anywhere between 7:30 and 9:30 following cluster feeds that usually start about 7. what happens after that is anyones guess!
we had first baby sensory class today. it was good
and I can nick loads of ideas for school was so proud that g - now ten weeks - was showing off his holding head up tummy time! he's only little though and all the wind has strengthened his arching back!
Marking spot.
Have had a good day today but a bit of a grumpy baby - he hasn't napped much & is not happy about it. Will try to catch up & be back later...
BPLP Gay they are!
miss O started off 11-12pm bedtimes. We started waking him around 9, and he started sleeping at 9-10pm. Then suddenly, with no prompting, or idea he was going to do it, the last 4 nights he has been falling asleep around 7.30pm, stirring for a feed between 9.30-10.30 depending on what time he last fed, then going back down.
HOWEVER. He is waking 4 hourly through the night, where as previously he was sleeping 7-8 hours. With one 9.5 hour stint.
Not sure what I prefer right now! . One 6 hour stretch would be good?! Just one?! Last night he did a 6 hour stretch, except he was bloody well awake and not interested in feeding, as opposed to sleeping and not interested in feeding. He woke at 3.30 and fed, then woke at 7.30 to start the day, but then didn't feed til 9.30. Gah.
Glenda I can manage in my car okay, not liking the fact it is a 3 door, but I'll manage for now. He wants the bigger car for his fucking legs . He is 6ft1. I'm tempted to just go out and get my new car now. I can't really afford it, but then once it comes back from being repaired next week, its due MOT/Tax. I could use that money for a month or 2's payments, and the rest of the money from DP's car for another month or 2. I'll have a look in to it. I'm planning on getting a very very cheap car to run. Think less than band C for tax, and 50-60mpg minimum!
pass At this rate i'll be asleep before I get a bath!! D'oh!
Fatima We tried every possible combination of insurances. Cancelling and taking a new policy with them (for they still came back the cheapest by a long way) would have cost £450 (as opposed to the £320 we paid out to swap car over), and he would have lost nearly half a year no claims, and when you only have 1 year, you don't want to lose even a day!
Many years ago I worked in the City as an insurance broker. I can guarantee that insurance companies are prize cunts.
Miss you are not alone. LO doesn't go to bed properly until we do at about 10:30/11 - despite my efforts!! I am trying to put her to bed now, Ewan is on, she's had a good feed, but every time I attempt to transfer she wakes up crying! She's not slept much at all today either She does sometimes nap in her carry cot when she is downstairs in the evenings tho.
LO has had a 10 minute snooze this morning and an hours nap this afternoon . I hope this means she'll sleep well? <crosses everything>
R dropped off on me at
the end of Hollyoaks 7:30 so we came up and did the bedtime routine - crib+mobile while i change, then his turn for night nappy and sleeping bag. He's cluster fed this evening for the first time in a while, please pray to the sleepy fairies that he goes back to sleeping well?! Last night the longest stint was 2 1/2 hours <sob> he's having a spurt/adjust because night feeds are down to 30-40 mins for 1 1/4 hours plus.
Dp and i spend our evenings in bed with book/tablet, sometimes dvd or radio <rock n roll>
He he he PR you make me laugh - I love a good swear. Pass . on the blouse he he that sounds like something that would happen to me.
All good here just biting my nails down to stumps about the mortgage, could do with a fucking big bottle of wine !
DS normally falls off his perch between 7.30 and 9pm depending on if he fancies cluster feeding or how much he's slept in the day. Did a 7 mile walk this afternoon to watch the sunset and the little darling managed to stay awake in the buggy for over an hour little nap avoider - hence he's just crashed and burned in a hissy fit off to sleep...
GT lovely to hear from you xx
Glenda I love a dibdab
Laugh a lot my LO goes to bed between 6.45 and 7.30 every night. It's lovely to have an evening and LO sleeps til 12.30/1 and then til 4.30/5 and again til 7.30.
I thought I'd missed fucking Wednesday happy to hear I sodding haven't.
Detective all insurance companies are cunts.
Is it wrong that I'm a bit in love with James corden...
I found the upside of all the fucking expressing... I got on here... Now he's mainly on formula I don't get to read as much.
Shitting heck just poured red wine all down me...
I'm off to fucking bed because dh is pissing me off snoring on the sofa so I can't fucking hear the fucking tv. Fuckity fuck it's making me cross.
Good fucking night one and all.
One of the readons I love Dexter is because of how much his sister says fuck. Cracks me up.
After going to bed, and I use the term loosely, between 11 and 1.30, J started going down at 10, then 9.30. Tonight he was in bed by 8 so wondering if that is him for a few hours, or if he will be up in 45 mins. He has napped really well today, but has been awake since 4 so was pretty tired. If I go to bed he will wake, if I stay up he will sleep. Law of sod.
When I added DH as a learner it was an extra £5 a month. When he passed, it was no extra. There are benefits to being over 40. I hope to get a small lease car through work, and have him insured on that too. I have decided to go back full time
pass I once got a detention for telling my Latin teacher his flies were undone. He was a bastard and used to throw things at us. I bet you felt dreadful about the blouse
Just found a note in my bread bag. The bastard baker is taking three weeks holiday from Sunday. No bread delivery for three fucking weeks. Lazy cunts.
One of the reasons I like Dexter is because I would love to fuck him
Night night fuckers, hopefully.
That too VQ! sweet dreams
Nighty night VQ have fucking awesome dreams. Hope j sleeps.
Am realising I have no fucking clue who any of these Brit nominees are... I am getting old
