The demo is going to build up hype for a release within the same year. So yeah, end of 2015.

Ya. I couldn't imagine them planning on releasing a demo and then waiting a year plus to release it. It defeats the purpose. Anyone else getting nostalgic talking about Squaresoft demo's on nearly every PS1 game.. sigh. Playing Chocobo Racing, Xenogears, Threads of Fate Demo. FF VIII Demo. Good times.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Yeah, not nearly enough love for Shimomura. Holy shit she's amazing. Nothing puts me in a 'magical' feeling more than her soundtrack. Absolutely beautiful.

I actually wouldn't mind if Shimomura stays on as a regular composer for the FF series. I prefer her work over Hamauzu's, anyday!

 

[Pooya]

Better be some traffic on the road!

 

[JoJoSono]

The combat dosen't look very button mashy actually. It looks pretty slow, but a kind of deliberate slow. I wonder if weapons will have different values that effect that. Dosen't look bad though. Probably the QTE's missing for those team up moves.

 

[wmlk]

THE FACT THAT THIS LOOKS LIKE XENOBLADE is making me hope we have something of this caliber from Shimomura.

 

[Mr. RHC]

THAT PRELUDE THO.

You changed your Avatar! Megaton!

There is something I always wanted to ask about Dark night skies in games.

I don't know how to describe it but I see those ugly concentric circles that come in only when there is a lot light source in some games.

Is this from the game/video itself or from my screen ?

Is there a specific word for this phenomenon ?

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

It's better than what they showed last year, but the original will remain the best .

Original Stella, we barely knew you... She was incredible... I think we now have a pretty definitive face for her. I have trouble forming an objective opinion about her final look due to how much I love the original.

I am sure that I will warm up to her if she is interesting, intelligent and able to get by as much as the boys. I been having high hopes about her for a long time, feels like she could have been a kid when the game was announced and now look like she does in this trailer!

i wonder if there is a camping mechanic. that shot is really beautiful though. that silverware and china though... fucking classy.

it's also my new background on my desktop. Good by Accordo Background.

It is hard to see with my phone, but I think you're talking about banding.

 

[YunFang1130]

I wonder what happened to Cor and where this trailer takes place at specifically because it sounds like Noctis' father is still alive. Gameplay looks awesome though!

@Kagari: Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but will there be more info in regards to FFXV these upcoming days?

Are you talking about color banding?

It's usually the result of compressed colors on a source that is typically has a lot of subtle changes in colors, like a gradient. It shows up in skies because there's usually a lot of those subtle changes in your typical sky and, well, this is a fairly low quality stream.

 

[dmr87]

Guessing either late 2015 WW release or late 2015 for Japan, early 2016 for the west.

 

[R-User!]

WOW!

Was busy with family life, and then I caught the last half of the MGS Gameplay demo....
...
...
and then I see THIS thread on the front page!

I'm speechless...

They showed us something!

And it had the Prelude theme incorporated at the end!!

I'm beside myself...

 

[Qvoth]

i'm liking stella's new hairstyle more compared to the original

 

[Wishmaster92]

Dat graphical jump. Looks eerily close to the cg render.

Edit: On second thought it looks better.

I don't think so. Maybe some interviews with Tabata from Japanese magazines. Maybe.

 

[Inuhanyou]

I hope the release some gameplay focused video in the future. It's really hard to tell the battle system from this new trailer.

You have 3 characters, one who shoots and one who has swords, and one that has a mixture. We know that for noctis atleast, he'll control like zack from crisis core. That is you can dodge enemies by doing that little cartwheel, and then back attack, and then launch into combos.

Anyone who's played KH or Crisis core should automatically be familiar, cause its like a fusion of those two battle systems

 

[Falk]

Sounds great.

Are we talking Decca Tree and spot mics as usual or...?

It was pretty elaborate. Decca, additional mono center, two midway-omnis, two overheads, two far outriggers, and THEN the spot mics.

Not the best angle to check out where the mics were, unfortunately. Sorry.

 

[Lucent]

I just hope the demo is released soon after Type-0. If I have access to playing the demo and actually having a portion of FFXV that's playable by me, that'll help ease the wait so much easier.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

OMG THE GRAPHICS :O

The music and the crystal theme at the end it's finally BACK, THIS IS the FF game I've been waiting for SINCE 2001 ;_;

Is there a link for the music only?

The character in the logo looks almost as if she's sleeping. How fitting.

Wake up and release, damn you!

 

[Chinpoko_Master]

The graphics look a lot better.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Well, the "plan" is at least Japan by the end of 2015. I kind of expected them to announce that today. But maybe they don't want to commit to anything yet... cause, well you know. About Nomura leaving... well, let's just say that history tends to repeat itself more than some realize.

History repeating much faster i thought , o well at least the game still looks great .

 

[Raitosaito]

I was in middle school when this game was announced....Damn.

Just looking back on how much had changed.

I wonder if SE decided to delay it in Japan (due to current system sales) so they could have a simultaneous WW release.

[Dark_castle]

Fuck all of you, can't wait to fight Bahamut in this shitttttttt

AWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Dick Justice]

Think I prefer this guy's older design. The tattoos and exposed chest are weird.

 

[Lucent]

OG stella >> New re-design >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Second version of her.

Gonna have to disagree. Love new short-hair Stella. Love short blonde hair. =D

 

[Dice//]

10,000% agreed.

SE likes to take advantage of the Japanese holiday season these days.

 

[kenji_sama]

Sorry, but Luna is Stella or a new character?

 

[iosefe]

Fuck all of you, can't wait to fight Bahamut in this shitttttttt

AWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAA

since they're returning to old monster concepts (Garula, Goblin), how excited would you be if we got the classic Dragon Bahamut

 

[Rinoa]

Dat graphical jump. Looks eerily close to the cg render.

Edit: On second thought it looks better.

Loving the new necklace w/my fave charm symbol, also the gemstones match her eyes (blue w/purple inside).

Is it possible that Luna (black hair) is wearing a similar necklace? There's a chain in her photo as well.

GOD YES!

I hate this so much! When I played Dragon's Dogma banding was really glaring at night.

Is there anything I can do to change this with my screen setting or is something I just need to deal with if its happening in the game itself ? :/

 

[MilkBeard]

I actually wouldn't mind if Shimomura stays on as a regular composer for the FF series. I prefer her work over Hamauzu's, anyday!

Just judging by the trailers I would have to agree. Her work fits better and is more memorable in my opinion.

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Gonna have to disagree. Love new short-hair Stella. Love short blonde hair. =D

Looks like her hair are up for this scene.

 

[Yasae]

even the e3 2013 trailer looked a lot quicker than this new trailer. I was expecting KH style combat which is exactly how se was describing the combat system, no?

I don't remember e3 being much quicker if at all. Even in 2011 with the ps3 version, this is pretty much how it looked.

It's very KH-ish to me but with a more realistic (and less anime-like) flow. The animations are fantastic and have great interpolation. Maybe that's not everybody's bag, but it's definitely mine. I'm not fond of excessively fast or low frame animation - Tales games, Dynasty Warriors etc.

From FFXV official Japanese site

I wished they looked less feminine and less like runway fashion models. They absolutely don't look like people that would stage a BBQ in the middle of nowhere.

Damn it Nomura.

 

[Inuhanyou]

I know i should not be suprised, but damn..i put the trailer on my PS3 and played it on my HD tv...you can clearly see the aliasing in every scene..

But what REALLY shocked me, was that the close up to stella has polygons and aliasing clearly visible all over her arms, and her hair has clear shadow dithering, and her eyebrows too show dithering.

How the fuck did they get that stella render in real time!? And is it going to look like that on PS4??

 

[BkMogul]

Don't know where they're going with the story, but damn, it's pretty. Looking forward to the demo of this.

 

[GregLombardi]

I am cautiously optimistic after seeing that.

Some of the sights look amazing, and if they can make it FF like....maybe.

I hope it works out.

Damn it Nomura.

They're runaways. One of them is a prince.

They're not on a pleasure trip.

come on he is a prince!

 

[Ibuki]

Major goosebumps from that. It looks so damn good.
