Man they really spoilered 100% of the content of the DEMO before the release... if this is the way they'll handle the full game from now on I'll be a bit pissed off. There's really too much informations floating around by this point -.-'

amazing artstyle btw. Even if the lighting really got downgraded heavely and now everything looks more soulless and dead. Maybe Ps4 couldn't handle it afterall.

Yo, that's what I've been saying all the time. LR's promo in the months leading to the release was ridiculous. At least 90% of all the areas, characters and costumes were shown beforehand.

I'll try filtering/muting the #FFXV, #FF15, #FinalFantasyXV and #FinalFantasy15 tags on Twitter somehow after the E3 week^^

As much as I liked the info dump that has been happening over the past few months, I do am quite sick of the demo areas by now. Would have preferred it if they had showed other areas more often.

 

[KupoNut]

Also a bit bummed they're showing so much from the demo version. But hey, we decide ourselves how much we want to watch and get spoiled! I've seen plenty of it but I'm sure there'll be some surprises left when I finally go hands on with the demo version. Also made the weird rule to see the footage only once, and not a thousand times so it isn't burned into my brain.

Yeah remember when they spoiler the final boss lol.

Well, when they showed other unfinished areas like at Jump Festa or Taipei Game Show people complained about how they show unfinished stuff and there were a lot of "lol, still not done after 9 years" comments. So, I don't know what's better in the end.


You know, we have to remember that all those demo ATR livestreams and walkthroughs are mostly seen by hardcore forum guys like us plus a few thousands on YT. Few of my best buddies who are huge FF fans since our childhood still haven't seen much of demo stuff and they're part of the mainstream millions who actually BUY and PLAY games rather than talking/reading about them primarily That's the audience that makes up most of the customer base in the end. I don't think they are affected much by the oversaturation of footage. The more the name FFXV stays present when they read the headlines on IGN occasionally, the better.

Obviously the Duscae stuff is getting boring for most of us already when we dissect every minute of footage like lunatics and watch every ATR

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Yeah its quite ridiculous. The inform part of their marketing campaign is way too aggressive.

They better not be so heavy on the media post demo release.

Its so hard to resist clicking it

 

[TheTux]

Someone said on Twitter that some people even spoiled the Eidolon. I don't mind seeing spoilers since I'm not getting the demo (don't have a PS4) so does anyone have a link?

Famitsu and dengeki actually spoilered it in their articles. No images yet.

 

[On Demand]

Not liking these comparisons to Dark Souls, Skyrim, and Farcry. I want Final Fantasy to compare to Final Fantasy. Big turn off.

I like that the level up system is more random now. Tabata saw my post didn't he, Falk? lol.

 

[Thoraxes]

Well.. in any case, just less than 10 days to go

And Gamespot mispelled Behemoth

Final Fantasy XV: Taking Down the Bohemoth - Gameplay

Gross, an Asscreed-style tailing mission. I hope they have some kind of official feedback survey. 3:30 of just running from cover to cover and walking slowly were in that video.

 

[jett]

I think SE are putting way more effort into the PS4 version. They are trying to build a RPG player base on PS4 through Type Zero and FFX HD though the xbone is getting Type Zero as well. I cant imagine what SE is going to do once the splits for Type Zero are revealed. I feel bad for xbone users because they are getting the short end of the stick here but the PS4 is a considerably better platform for SE JRPG games to sell on.

I think we'll have to wait until a proper comparison to judge the differences.

Looks like 720p, probably XB1 version.

PS4 screens are pretty crisp.

The footage from the Japanese websites is from the PS4, you can tell from the button prompts (not in that particular picture though).

 

[Jay Sosa]

Thanks everyone for answering my questions regarding framerate issues.

 

[Marcel]

more akin to Skyrim or Far Cry

Hopefully this is just a journalist struggling to think of something to compare it to rather than the actual reality.

 

[silva1991]

I'm more interested in fighting this thing than behemoth

[pszet0]

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn!

 

[Stone Ocean]

Can't wait to see how the summon looks. Not gonna spoil myself further than the name so I got something to look forward to.

Going on a media blackout after the demo sounds wiser than ever lol

Where is the downgrade talk coming from again? Also I find it mad that we're living in a time where people are actually complaining that there's too much info on Final Fantasy XV lol It's quite funny, given the titles history of going off grid for years at a time and fans begging for news at every show, every year.

 

[Stone Ocean]

"Feels like Skyrim or Far Cry" tells me literally nothing lol

Their open world models are pretty different.

That's a capture from an old footage.

 

[Syrus]

gonna wait on this. Id much prefer type 0 cheaper then 60$. will wait for digital sale in the summer

 

[Athreous]

Anyone willing to sell their PSN code?

I bought a CE edition, but it'll take at least 2 weeks to arrive to my country, even paying almost 60$ for the shipping...

So, if by chance you get 2 codes, I want to buy one, or, if you don't really care to wait a few more weeks to play the demo, we could work on something, so I can give you my code once I get my physical game...

Let me know if you have anything in mind that we could work out =D

 

[Putty]

Looks fab, always has. Can't wait...

 

[Nibel]

a) Type-0 needs to be sold
b) E3

 

[MultiJhonny]

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn!

Holy shit thats awesome! What video is that from? Looks like either Famitsu's or Dengeki's?

 

[Dark_castle]

It's from Famitsu.

It's from Famitsu.

Awesome! Not gonna watch it as I have now watched pretty much all the new videos and that one seems to show the most. But I am glad they kept the climbing on bigger monsters that we saw in E3!

I don't think that was the actual monster free run mechanic, just a counter after parry. Or at least I hope.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

That's a capture from an old footage.

Even then I don't see that huge of a difference between that and the footage we got yesterday. I'm just not seeing this significant downgrade I've seen a few people harp on about in this thread. Just reeks of people seeing what they want to see.

Yeah now that I look at it, it does seem triggered by a parry. Still cool nonetheless.

Final Fantasy XV: Taking Down the Bohemoth - Gameplay

Wow does that tailing part look incredibly boring, I simply don't understand the appeal or reasoning behind implementing something like that into a Final Fantasy game.

At this point "downgrade!" is basically a meme on GAF. It's impossible to tell who is actually being serious so I would just ignore all of it.

It's kind of irrelevant even when it's true anyways. As long as the final product looks good on its own terms.

 

[AuthenticM]

This game calls me.

Thanks

 

[DarkLordMalik]

What's with the lighting downgrade claim now? =/

Do people not realize that the game has a dynamic day/night cycle so it is not possible to get the same lighting condition in some of these videos at same locations in previous videos.

We can just wait for the demo and judge it ourselves but I don't think there is any "downgrade" in lighting.

 

[acklame]

Looks incredible!

Also its just a rushed demo as well. People just like to complain.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Is it me or the counter move looks janky?

 

[Perfo]

That's a capture from an old footage.

Yes and the difference is quite striking. Ligthing is vastly superior here.
Not gonna complain though, like in the witcher case is more of an hardware problem than not s-e tech s one. PS4 can't run the target render Ff15. But it still looks good, very good even compared to w3. So it's fine.

 

[artsi]

I think the world looks nice and believable.

I wish I had the patience to go full blackout into this, but impossible.

With VIII all I had seen before getting the game was some Dollet demo screenshots in a gaming magazine, and it became one of my greatest games ever.

 

[Skinpop]

Japanese voices x

we are actually getting japanese va? If so I might consider buying.

 

[publicpwnerer]

Are there summons in the game? I'm guessing that wasn't in the demo, but just curious.

I really hate low key combat systems, with no epic / over the top skills to work towards.

 

[Hawaii Jeff]

the HUD still looks super temp - they mentioned that was the case with this demo, correct?

 

[Icyflamez96]

Dang. When the Mammoth was about to stomp on Noctis on the Famitsu video, did one of the party members use stop? That whole sequence of events was so cool.


Well I thought it was stop magic, but then I saw them use a more convincing stop magic on the behemoth and it had a completely different pink effect so...

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I have a question.

Do you think there is a "downgrade" here?

 

[Philippo]

Actually, a summon fight/evocation is one of the big wow moments of the demo, identiy on page 9.

 

[Xpliskin]

A much better experience would be to get your hands on the demo and experience everything on your own.

You've Waited years you can't wait a month ?

It doesn't though. Look at this footage at 8.32 or so with the dinosaur...The lighting looks really great, as does the detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFIgqrjwnWY

 

[The Last One]

I have a question.

Do you think there is a "downgrade" here?

It's a different time of the day there, or not?

 

[Ishida]

They added fog/mist to the scene for the stealth section.
