That was a good video interview. Thank you for the post.

Most impressive FFXV video I've seen TBH.
It's probably the only one to show anything outside of chapter 1 too IIRC.
It looks awful for PC standards..
That's exactly how I feel, I want to love the game, the last trailer hyped and so, but I'm still not confident about they can make this game looking/performing good.
Yep, after that thread about Tabata building his team I have hope.

This looks like console footage I think. Somebody from Game Informer said the footage was pretty ancient.

Also looks like the Zu enemy is in this game(the big black bird flying in this and using its talons on Noctis and Ignis in the Reclaim Your Throne trailer).
I need a gif of this. Probably a reverse gif.

Nice catch.
It's the Prelude at the core, but not exactly the same, yeah.
It's got just enough of the Prelude to make it nostalgic and just enough new arrangement to make it seem fresh and interesting, at the same time. It's pretty great.
They're developing on PC, NOT for PC. They're focus is consoles right now so it would only do them a disservice to have a superior build on PC at this time.
Not to mention, it's only just entered the polishing/debug phase and they've got roughly 6 months to get it to the final build quality.

I think we'll be getting footage from Altissia(fantasy Venice) from this coverage so there's that at least.
Prologue.
Pretty sure he is talking about Chapter 0.
Five months to September. Not six. Less so to gold, but more time to work on a massive day one patch. lol =)
Edit: And if they want to hit 10m sold, they will just continue working right on through with that PC version they stupidly aren't launching with.
Sounded like the game straight up starts with a boss battle, he made it sound like that would be the first 15 minutes of the game.
Final Fantasy II starts with a battle against 4 Dark Knights that you're supposed to lose to, then it goes into the intro.

I've pretty much made peace with the fact that it's not going to be the best looking or performing game ever, technically. I think it's going to be a bit rough. It's going to look like a game that's been through a decade of development hell, and a game where the devs were wrangling with an engine that didn't want to cooperate with their ambitions.
If I'm wrong, and huge progress is made between what we've been shown so far and the final game in September, then fantastic! If not, I'm just going to live with it and focus on the rest of the package.
Yes, I was referring to the likelihood of day one patch. Which would put it at roughly 6 months.
Well this is pre-beta footage, as it says.
And they have 6 months to optimise IQ. I'm confident.
Yeah, same. It's just annoying since I thought Duscae actually looked solid but it's only gotten worse from there.

What is wrong with people? The game looks great, seriously stop your whining.

I think there is absolutely no way the final game is going to look worse than Duscae. In fact, I thought in certain ways the Platinum demo was an improvement. At least the first environment.
It's most likely old footage, most of the graphical issues the gameplay video has here:
aren't present at all here:
Why the hell wouldn't they give GI the most recent build to play around with is beyond me though. It's bad press to show footage that has so many shadows, aliasing, pop-in and LOD issues.

Same here. I will go back and play Duscae today to make some comparison.
It's still a huge open world game with tons of diversity in locations and you can free roam in it with an airship, even if it's not the best looking one graphically.

yikes, game looks like it needs a lot more than 6 months to finish.
Outside of one part in the video I don't find this looks worse than Duscae.
This pre-beta build was completed last year where their focus was on getting the game completely playable from beginning to end with all mechanics in place.
It does not look worse than Duscae. Looks better and has a lot more going on. Duscae had to remove features.
Like if the game looks the gifs above but with a locked framerate then that'll be fine for me.
You're just used to bullshots and lies from Western devs. Square Enix is doing the opposite so no one will complain about graphics.

Damn i'm worried this game will suffer the same Open World problems or it will give me open world fatigue.
I hope i'm wrong

It looks really bad. Like there is so much graphical distraction on screen like the awful aliasin. Why are they showing Pre-Beta footage ?
