Air warping is fantastic practice attacking in the air it's so satisfying moving in and out , pretty cool tech demo they came up with. I'm surprised some thought this was a prologue.

That wallpaper though!
This scene would look so much nicer without the piss filter.

That looks rad! I'll have to goof around some more with it tomorrow, I really enjoyed the first playthrough of it so far!
I found the combat to be pretty good. It fixed a lot of issues I had with Duscae. And with the kid, well, it's expected to be simpler.
The battle at the end with adult Noct was great. Showed me that there is a ton of potential for complexity.

I don't get it, is it true that this demo isn't actually taken from the main game?
As in, it's basically a stand-alone addon/tech-demo?
Why are they wasting their time with this?! Is it to promote their FFXV anime?

After having played Duscae and this demo, I have two words to explain FFXV as I have experienced it: ambitious and rough. And sometimes the roughness kinda outweighs the ambition.

I'd say that's pretty damn fair assessment.

Now the real question is where can I download the magical guide chocobo emoji pack !?

I dunno, this demo charmed my pants right off. I can see where some might be disappointed with it but running around that giant house and using that squeaky hammer warmed my heart right up.

I think Tabata said he always wanted to show off the cities and he now did in this demo. Maybe just a little glimpse of what to expect. It honestly is not that bad of a demo. It is possible the dream sequence will be mentioned in FFXV, yes.

I don't understand why Tabata is do insistent on Button holding for attack and defend. Everytime Noctis attacks, it attacks and then resets the animation. Then the infinite combo looks stupid. And now you could just prrss and hold the button, Noctis will automatically run straight to the enemy and chain lock attack it.
JUST WHY????
JUST WHY????
Yeah, same here. Cute little demo.
What are those weapons? I don't know if I missed any.

They are up the tower, I don't know how to get to them properly but I warped above the ledge and just dropped down onto them taking damage. You'd think there would be a warp point there or you could jump up the warp point that is below the ledge but you can't.

Are you talking about kid Noctis ?
Thanks, I missed them!
Also, what is the circular bar for the Phantom Sword used for? I press L1 and R1 and nothing happens.

And wow I'm only now discovering the angry comments, do you guys have no soul ?
Spent an hour moving around in the demo, felt like I was 10 again.
The demo had FFX, FFXIV, FFXIII, KH feels, my heart is warm and the smile on my face isn't fading any time soon, but it's super sad seeing all those condescending and angry comments.

I agree completely.
It fucks the combat so much that it's easily the worst part of the game.
I think they got the combat right with adult Noct. It feels good. It took me a second to get used to the jump and dodge commands, because I'm used to Bloodborne. But once you can warp, and dodge and get in there for an attack, it feels really satisfying.
If they could update Duscae with this combat I wouldn't mind trying it again.

Armiger/limit break? If that is what you are talking about.
I'm sure it will be on youtube soon.

shadows are harder more jagged on XB1. PS4 has softer more natural feeling shadows, check the grass between and around his legs as well as the ground in front of him (the small rock) you can see more gradual shading on PS4, on XB1 its just blocky shadows.
The fuck is this?
My guess? They took a full sized environment from the game and made you tiny for the demo. You were never meant to see the textures that close so they're lower rez textures.
At least that's the most plausible explanation for that one.
You can do both.
Yea. I hold it but I think it does the same thing.
Holy Fuck, thank you!!!!

This was probably the highlight of the demo for me. This environment, at night, in the rain. I'm a crocodile thingamie.
And the lowlight.
The fuck is this?
That's a character model and objects/textures made specifically for a 30 min demo on tech that is 5 months from being complete.
If you want to argue this demo shouldn't have been put out yet, I might agree. But it's not indicative of the final product performance wise imo.

Lighting and shading is a little better on ps4 too. (look at grass, background, skin)
PS4
XB1
Not even close, both look the same. Got some options for my 5TB X1 or 2TB PS4 going digital..hmmm.
Yea I just can't stand it. Noctis' control sometimes feels out of my hand..
Doope. Ok can't wait then. Just got back from the event so my hype levels are through the roof lol.
Listen to the vocal version too.

Those objects are meant to be tiny and viewed at a distance in the regular game. But since you are shrunk down you get real up and close with em, looks bad.
Check out the OG version. Way better. I was really hoping they would play it today.

This game........ needs to be good.
I feel like I'm missing some nuance that is going unexplained. If the combat is just like this throughout the whole game... I'm not sure if I'm going to enjoy it. And I have the CE preordered ffs.
I'm still going to try and stay optimistic because no doubt there will be more cohesion to the full game, but these 2 demos have not really done it many favors imo.

You're correct that if someone really wants to know more, theres tons of media for the game. The problem is that there are a lot of people who will either watch or play this demo once, decide its bad and move on. That's it. They won't give the game a chance beyond that and as someone incredibly hyped for this game, I find that frustrating.
Even with Duscae, as early as it was, there were still moments where all the elements came together just right. Fighting a group of enemies with party members in this huge world with beautiful animations, amazing music, and the sun setting in the background. Walking into the Chocobo ranch and having your party members separate off to do their own thing, Discovering a dungeon and fighting a bunch of goblins to get a really cool summon at the end. The new trailers today do this as well and ,imo, show perfectly what the game will be like. These insane fights with good graphics. Traveling with your party in cars, boats, chocobos, etc. Stopping at a rest point, playing mini games, etc.
I know Tabata has said that what we were getting today was a tech demo but if they were gonna do that, I think they should have just provided something like the TGS 2014 demo. At least in that, you have your party, can see day night cycles, weather, and you get to test the battle system.
I really just want other people to be excited and enjoy it as well because I feel this game might be something really special. Maybe I'm being dramatic (there was a huge event and all) but impressions are extremely important and it sucks when people miss out on anything great because the first one was so shitty.

2nd pic a....vajayjay?
You might want to check your eyes.
they dont look the same at all... resolution alone i would think youd want it on PS4... but playing both side by side... the difference is absolutely noticable.
