New direct feed (but 1280x720) Final Fantasy XV screens from the demo, also Type-0 HD

Wondering who's that guy in the new Type 0 HD CGI. I hope they add in that moggles scene that they said they forgot about during the PSP version lol. Love the Type 0 moggles.
 
maybe it's the palette
but the characters from Hype0 somehow look nicer @.@;
although some of the hair look very wig like
 
Which one? If it's the HD version of Type-0 I agree.

Sorry, should have specified -- I meant XV. It looks to me like a pasted collage of photos from a John Varvatos runway show, pictures someone took in Colorado last year, and some goblins from the cover of an early 1990s fantasy paperback.

I'd actually say that Type-0's art direction is more cohesive.
 
FFXV looks great. These are obviously untouched shots. AA seemed to look better in recent footage, but quality was too crap to tell definitively. I don't think there is less vegetation particularly, because there was a lot in certain parts, such as when the climb the hill and less in others. I don't think that is unrealistic, but we will see. Grass shadowing I am very unsure if it is still in. In some areas of the footage it seemed like it was there at least in some parts, but not in others. Again footage was too crap though. I hope if it is out, it is just out for the demo because the shadowing made the grass folliage look better than in any other game I have seen. Also, these shots may not be the most flattering, but the game looks a whole lot better in motion. Every game I have seen pre-release has shots which seem to exacerbate the flaws. In motion, this is probably the best looking upcoming rpg to me.

Don't pay any mind to the guy on the far left's leg. It's not important.

Hahah that fits.
 
Even Type-0 HD is 720p in these screenshots so I am sure that the website (4gamer) resized them. No idea why they did it.

Here are all the Type-0 HD screenshots including trophy/achievement notifications and the tease of secret movie for HD version.

Secret Movie (HD Exclusive)

This is must be really a Type-1 teaser...


Wondering who's that guy in the new Type 0 HD CGI. I


I think it's Ace.
 
Goddamn. Just dicking around in that area is going to be so satisfying.

Have they said if the Weapon's might be in the game or will summon's basically cover that territory?

Nickelback?

I'd take Nickelback for FFXV

Ewwwwwwww.

I'd take Alice In Chains. :P

What? It could work.
 
Oh man, even the cooler box is a Coleman. Nice product placement.

This is getting weird, guys.

I have NO DOUBT this product placement thing will greatly increase in future FF instalments...... They are definitely seeding the idea here in small ways, and they'll increase it more over time.

Yeah it's a bit weird in a Final Fantasy, but not completely new to Square though. Anyone remember Parasite Eve 2?

 
Overall, I think some of the environments look great, but I can't stand how the characters look. Hopefully SE can go back to putting in people in their games that actually look like adventurers instead of some runway models and jpop stars.
Isn't that the whole point? That they are not adventurers? They're on the run.

Square just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese Marketing culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by placing foreign logos everywhere. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXV for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel Gaijin's Brand Logos or you can kiss your business goodbye.
 
The monster looks stupid and so does the hair.
 
My Hands is both a shit song and wasn't even written for the game. It was S-E thinking they were on to something by paying to get a Leona Lewis song in the game. It was shitty, didn't fit, didn't make any thematic sense or relation to the story, characters, or ending, and to this day remains one of the most transparent marketing decisions for any videogame out there.

Even more fucking insulting to the game composers who worked their asses off on the entirety of the soundtrack only to have some pop song stand in place for something that they could have did both emotionally and thematically. It's like sticking a random Lada Gaga song at the end of a Lord of the Rings movie instead of letting Howard Shore close out his soundtrack with a meaningful theme.

I remember that god aweful cringe inducing PR vid of Leona Lewis playing FFXIII in some controlled marketing environment.

Horrific stuff.

the "Havana" era technology is what is hurting the cohesiveness to me. The John Varvatos clothing works in the context of Lucis very well. Wearing runway collections on a road trip is very fashion!
 
Oh man, even the cooler box is a Coleman. Nice product placement.

Whose childhood camping memories lack Coleman™??? Every time I get a glimpse of that shiny red cooler, it takes me back to fishing and hiking with my dad and brothers. Those were the days...
Now Coleman™ will be a big part of my son's life when he grows up. No wonder they are The Outdoor Company™!
 
Looks incredible! whens psn preorder

I find it hard to believe that they'll be able to go from 720p to 1080p in the final version, though, I'm already expecting 900p for PS4.
 
I wonder if that sword is obtainable on Behemoth's back and if the magic with the swords is still in the final game by putting the swords into it. (Obviously no magic in demo tho)

Edit: fixed (hopefully)

Magic with the swords? You mean the Phantom Blades? That's definitely in the demo, that's a core gameplay mechanic! And there's magic in the Demo too :p
 
Oh maan, i really want to try both!
Some of you know if Type-0 is worth it ? I would love to play another JRPG, my last was Ni No Kuni if i recall right.

I really don't care about Graphics, although i think the Game looks pretty good. Is it a similar to Crisis Core ? I didn't finish it, and i loved FF7. If i remember right i got stuck at some Boss Fight.

I really want to try it (And the FF15-Demo) but i don't know if it's worth 70€.
 
I've never heard of this "Coleman" but do you think it's serious product placement or just an influential design they've implemented into the game?

Because they're using the in-world alphabet for it, which makes me think it isn't product placement...

Yeah it's a bit weird in a Final Fantasy, but not completely new to Square though. Anyone remember Parasite Eve 2?

Oh wow, never played that but that's very uncanny! (lol).

Coleman is a very recognizable brand name for outdoor gear. The logo is exactly the same, the tent and chairs, while not identical to any Coleman design (or maybe I'm bad at searching) are very, very similar. The box and plates are virtually 1:1 to currently existing Coleman products.

It's very much beyond 'influential design'.
 
I just noticed that Noctis's pants are 3/4s and don't reach all the way down to the top of his boots leaving an awkward looking gap. Can't unsee, game forever ruined now, 1/10. :(

No I'm not serious. It does however spoil Noctic's character design for me, though.

The graphics look good....but I really don't like this aesthetic to be honest. It just...looks like my back yard.


But it's still FF, so the crazy artistic areas will come. I hope.

Lord those guys are going to sweat their fucking asses off running around the country sides in leather and heals.

Fucking unprepared my god.

You won't even need lube if you wanna do wanna you think I'm talking about.

it's the Russian tundra. If anything, they need more clothes.

You got to understand, these guys can do 'magic'

...wait a minute! There is no magic in this demo. That is some asspull

Such is the nature of Final Fantasy, where the character artists couldn't give two shits about sensibilities.
 
Guys, it's me or Final Fantasy is looking to make a gigantic and unexpected return?

Because everything seems to be amazing with brilliant ideas (that product placement...) and a sea change in our perception of the game!

You know, look closely, there is no hate train coming, no people bashing the game for nothing, no technical details discussed to death, just plain discussion about how the game is designed. That's fresh.

Before this post and the "but" in the thread title, I wasn't even aware this game was supposed to be 1080p at release. I'll be impressed if they hit that but I'm not really expecting it. Hoping it doesn't matter due to a PC version coming along, but barring that I'd like the IQ on the PS4 version to be as good as possible.

Ground looks hit and miss in pretty much every set of shots they release it seems.
