Showing a small slice of the worldmap and the car on the road.

You can drive it manually too and get out at anytime to explore and battle.

Looks... Interesting,

 

[Grisby]

Can't wait to be one of the guys and shampoo each other's hair at night.

That's some hair right there.

To put things into perspective about the worldmap and where they're travelling to.

This game is so weirdly ugly yet gorgeous at the same time. Some things are absolutely amazing, like the character models, the enemy models, the animations... and then the environmental detail looks really really rough, all brought down by poor IQ. I really hope they can fix this at launch because at times it can look downright spectacular.

 

[TheGreatLugia]

There's also the development progress video.

 

[toddhunter]

I really hope that music is just for the video.

 

[sappyday]

I really hope that music is just for the video.

Most likely not. However, there will be a radio station. It might have some old classic FF songs but it will all be composed by Shimomura.

 

[Zabuza]

God, it's pretty.

[Shogun1337]

Final Fantasy XV's greatest weakpoint, is the fact that it has the weakest soundtrack in FF history. That shit sounds like circa 1998 Sonic on the Sega Dreamcast

 

[Comandr]

So at the risk of sounding super cheesy, I really like the segment when they get out of the car and look out at the ocean by the crocodile monsters. It reminds me of my time living in San Francisco and standing at the pier, watching the sea lions. The game looks super atmospheric. I can almost smell the ocean.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

This game is going to be crazy.

 

[sappyday]

Dem knee high walls

Are you talking about the rails? You can probably jump over them.

 

[delSai]

Man this game looks great.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Looks soooo good, especially when they get out of the car to look at the ocean. Damn the wait is gonna slowly kill me.

 

[wild wild rice]

I believe they said you could jump over them and fight if you wanted.

 

[bomma_man]

Are you talking about the rails? You can probably jump over them.

I'd like to believe that but at the moment it looks like fable 1. I mean why wouldn't they do that in the trailer if you could?

 

[Amandeep]

Looks beautiful, if we can traverse most of what is visible then I'll be a very happy person. Also hope we can turn that music off.

I've had my my fair share of disappointments following this game all the way from the versus days but I'm looking forward to seeing more

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I'd like to believe that but at the moment it looks like fable 1. I mean why wouldn't they do that in the trailer if you could?

The video was just to show off how the car works.

 

[sappyday]

I'd like to believe that but at the moment it looks like fable 1. I mean why wouldn't they do that in the trailer if you could?

Because you can jump over similar things in the demo and the devs said it themselves. They didn't show it in the trailer because they didn't want and only wanted to focus on the driving and scenery.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Have they said when in 2016?

Lolwut? From what we've heard so far, the game is poised to have one of the best OSTs in the franchise.

And I think this is a fun song. Reminiscent of some arcade racers of the past mixed with the kind of adventurous tone FF airship songs have had.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

I'd like to believe that but at the moment it looks like fable 1. I mean why wouldn't they do that in the trailer if you could?

They even mentioned it in the video when someone asked if you could just jump over the rails and fight the monsters by the ocean.

Actually it was with the video that had the commentary.

 

[Famassu]

I'd like to believe that but at the moment it looks like fable 1. I mean why wouldn't they do that in the trailer if you could?

They've already said that you can hop off and start exploring at will. There are no invisible walls.

 

[Mivey]

I'd like to believe that but at the moment it looks like fable 1. I mean why wouldn't they do that in the trailer if you could?

Probably because it would show many things that they are not finalized yet. The demo was basically the safest thing they could do without breaking anything.
I can't imagine the meaty parts of the gameplay being close to finished yet. Which is kind of ridiciolous for a 10 year (non-continous) developement progress.

This is so going to be their Spirits Within, isn't it? Maybe this time they get to fusion with Konami. Squenix-Nami, or something.

Development of this game really didnt start until 2012. If this ships in 2016 like its scheduled to, that would be a 4 year dev cycle. perfectly normal for a modern day AAA game.

 

[sappyday]

Have they said when in 2016?

No. They're going to announce the release date in March.

Kinda reminds me of the first level of Sonic Adventure 1. Or 06. The song is really good imo

 

[Famassu]

Have they said when in 2016?

No, but the release date reveal will be in March 2016 and usually they reveal the release date of their games 3-6 months prior to release and not any earlier. So Summer or early Fall 2016 seems likely.

 

[DustyVonEric]

This looks great and everything, but I really, really, really want to story to be good.

That's my main draw to FF games.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Well, good thing that song is just part of the radio station.

Final Fantasy XV Soundtrack OST - Night Exploration Battle Theme
Final Fantasy XV Soundtrack OST - Main Menu Theme
Final Fantasy XV Soundtrack OST - Exploration Battle Theme

How is any of this considered to be weak?

Kos, or as some say, Kosquenix.

 

[ypo]

Can you change the shit hairstyles?

 

[Zomba13]

When the radio/CD player came on I was reeeeeeally hoping for a chocobo theme.

 

[TDLink]

Have they said when in 2016?

They're going to announce in March when later in 2016 they are going to "release the game" and then will likely delay it as they get close to that date to some time in 2017.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

FF has always had weird hairstyles. They're nowhere near "shit".

 

[BigBadShamoo]

Hopefully said travel isn't going to be absolutely terrible and considerably time consuming when/if the car ever breaks down like in real life.

FF7 Spoiler

Spoiler

The buggy brokedown in FF7 making you walk everywhere for a while around the world map.

So it wouldn't surprise me if it happened in FFXV.

 

[Valnen]

Loving the calm vibe that riding in the car gives. I hope the world is huge and there are plenty of sites to see.

Well the car does break down at some point leading to the events found in the FFXV demo.

 

[the_sun_king]

It's totally going to happen.

If Episode Duscae makes it into the final game, then it's guaranteed as that was what the narrative was about in the demo.

Oh, maybe not then actually. That was confirmed not to be an actual part of the game I think.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

I wonder why they opted for driving on the right side of the road since its left side in Japan.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Coming 2016

lol

 

[orioto]

I don't know i'm trying to be hyped and i love those monster graphics but man.. The way they showcase things.. It's so desperate, and it looks like they're developping an engine more than a game, and let's not even talk about a final fantasy game..

Fuck in the 90's and 00's you just show incredible music/scenes and it's an FF. You don't have to tell people how you just updated the climbing a ladder animation.. This is so fucking pointless and out of any kind of relevant point to give people the feeling that this game has some kind of FF magic.. Do you see Jurassic Park director showing people how they made the cgi T-Rex open his mouth 1 year before the movie is out ??

This is so fucking cold... What they show is soulless and the way they show it is even worse.

 

[Akainu]

That menu is killing me.

 

[Safeto20Scroll]

Most likely not. However, there will be a radio station. It might have some old classic FF songs but it will all be composed by Shimomura.

Yesssss, good call.

Hoping they get the group interaction during world traversal solid.

Looking good!

 

[the_sun_king]

They figured in global market as well as something about how it's easier to shoot a gun from a moving vehicle if the steering wheel is on the left? It was a strange reason I didn't expect.

Spoiler

Will this really be Grand Theft Fantasy XV?
