Dammit XV content? I was trying so hard to avoid this game due to funds. Now I'm really itching to get it.

Yup for the most part based on the trailers and the demos
Yeah. Like the Shrunken Shrine is now based on a Mako Reactor from FFVII and the Crystal Mirage is based on the Crystal Tower from FFIII.
I'm out of the loop, why was the game retooled to have you fighting across various Final Fantasy dimensions?
This isn't a canon remake or prequel to FF1 if that's what you're wondering. Nothing was retooled, this was always the plan. It's not even an anniversary thing. Just a coincidence.
It's been that way from the beginning. One of the areas in the demos was based off FFXIII
That's weird - I thought that that is what it was being marketed as (FF1 prequel/side-reboot thing)
It's been somewhat confusing in that regard, because the marketing pivoted once people realized that Jack was actually Chaos, and they embraced that openly instead of hiding it. But it seems like it's not necessarily going to be a straightforward 'this is how Chaos came to be' as I think they originally wanted to market it as, and it's more of this quasi-retelling, quasi-prequel type of thing that references the seires history as a whole
Yep! But in interviews they've clarified that it's more of an 'inspired by' situation.
The Refrin Wetlands is based off the Sunleth Waterscape from Final Fantasy XIII.
dam i missed all of that i literally was still thinking this was a FF1 subplot/prequel
Praying they fixed the performance by launch. Played both the PS5 and XSX version and the game was looking kind of rough. The tutorial grass area was not a looker on any platform/setting and it's like the first thing you see lol.
Not really a fan of when Square does these types of member berries things, which they've been doing A LOT lately. And this is not just a gripe on this game, when they did it with The After Years. You got parts of Brave Exvius. You got Dissidia and World of Final Fantasy, and lots of stuff in FFXIV. I know, people like that shit, but I'm only speakin' for myself and I think it's just too much. Just do original stuff, new FF worlds, new characters, and at the most, a returning special boss (Gilgamesh), an older boss becoming a new summon (like Atmos, Typhon, Magus Sisters), or reusing the name of a location (Mysidia).
The only thing about the Behemoth video that REALLY makes me bummed out is that I would've LOVED it if the final dungeon In FFXV WAS the Insomnia Citadel.
So what is that area? Is it supposed to be SoP's Castle of Ordeals?

Okay now I am interested. Goddammit. Lol.
Nomura noted early in marketing that they had crossover games based on "characters" but with this game they want it to be about "locations"

ah, i saw that spoilered video yesterday and was so confused on what the area was based off of. makes sense, wasn't familiar with the throne room.
Legit hyped for this, going through older FF games zones will be amazing.
Here's FF7 and FF12 if some people missed it, this is definitely going to be FF Fanservice: The Game and I can't fucking wait
There's also FF13 music!

Sastasha being the choice for a FF14 level is… a choice. Would've been cool if they had chosen Alexander or something. I feel like FFXIV keeps getting screwed over in these sorts of games lol. The arena in Dissidia was Porta Decumana… a freaking circle.
It was very cool in the demo. They even had a system where you changed the weather during gameplay to make it rain (or not) like in FF13. Excited to see what other details they include for the other areas.

I had thought the pirate cave was based on FFV, but I guess the air palace is Ronka Ruins which I would not have all expected visually. I guess that will mostly be told via the music and boss fights. I assume the volcano is now based on 9 which was based on 1 in the first place.
I can imagine them adapting the canoe world chunk to be a raft ride to tribute 6.
They have to adapt parts of FF1 that are decent matches. As it adapting FF1 requires ~20-30 stages, which is a lot.

This was posted today. Gives a nice rundown at what has been shown so far:

What I'm curious about is that if the other areas have music from other FFs mixed in like the FFXIII level. I could not tell from the video posted in the OP due to the commentary.

They almost certainly are based on old soundtracks. Almost every song we've heard so far is based on a previous FF game in some way. Mostly 1, but we've also heard an obscure track from FF7R.
Sastasha there is the Pravoka Seagrot, which they mentioned is where Bikke is holed up.
I am still shocked how much this game went from ultimate meme material to a game that looks really good.
