Support NeoGAF

[The Last One]

They're just showing normal attacks and elemental magic. Can't wait to see the ring magics.

 

[Reszo]

This shit was awesome. I'm so hype for this. I might dive back into the demo because I never got to play with the shuriken.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

What an odd video.

Oddly cut, and uh... "high level"? Didn't seem much different from the demo.

Just give me a few minutes of a dude fighting one or two enemies.

 

[benzy]

We'll likely get better videos from skilled fan players than stuff SE puts out.

 

[jett]

This game looks super rough. I guess they're doing all they can to drive up performance on consoles. Vegetation LOD is just super aggressive, and it's already looking sparse near you.

Sadly they showed the game looking like this at one point.

I wonder if they got a Neo version on pipeline already ready to be shown at E3 or something.

 

[Ketaya]

This seems to be the same Duscae-like combat test environment that gameinformer played in. So these enemies won't actually be just running around in Duscae.

 

[dragonzdogma]

I think this is the beta testing area,
seems like the combat is less sluggish from the plat demo, and faster

 

[Ishida]

Looks awesome as always. September can't come soon enough!

It's not, really, unless its different from the demo.

Hold circle.

lol.

I eagerly await your playthrough video where you complete the game by "Holding circle".

 

[cheesekao]

Someone needs to give the editor of this video a good talking. Those transitions are so bad.

As for the gameplay, it's more okay level than anything imo.

 

[wmlk]

What's high level about this?

This is basically stuff in the Platinum Demo + Ice Magic.

 

[Jolkien]

In my heart I wish the Neo will come out in time to play FFXV on it (and for Square to patch the game to take advantage of the higher specs). Probably unlikely

 

[Ralemont]

Chose "allow all" for NoScript twice and the video still wouldn't play. Fuck IGN's player. Will wait for them to post to YT.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

What's high level about this?

This is basically stuff in the Platinum Demo + Fire Magic.

I'm here laughing because of the following:

1) where's the party commands?
2) group attacks?
3) air warps?
4) armiger?

Where's the "High Gameplay"?

 

[ironcreed]

Looks amazing. This system will be so much fun as you get more proficient. Overall it is a huge improvement over older systems.

 

[bananafactory]

Not really 😑. There are ways to make combat WAY more satisfying than holding circle. Playing through the demo several times, I taught myself all the little tricks that the demo didn't teach me. Ended up making it look like some of those cgi vids.

It's like fun is subjective or something.

Kinda hoping they update Duscae again with this stuff lol.

Don't blame the game because you don't use its gameplay features.

I though the same thing when I first played the demo, then I started experimenting with the combat and it is actually pretty nuanced.

It's fun when you decide holding circle is boring and step up. And as an added bonus, you can kill the enemies way faster if you try to

lol.

I eagerly await your playthrough video where you complete the game by "Holding circle".

Alright, apparently I missed something, I will give the demo another go because it seems I'm being unfair, that wasn't my intent. I don't recall it communicating any other gameplay mechanics so I honestly didn't know there was more to it than that and throwing the magic items.

Pretty much, hell no team attacks too.

 

[STILLethal]

Ok now I want a Pokemon game with these graphics and gameplay...plsssssss

 

[cheesekao]

Ok now I want a Pokemon game with these graphics and gameplay...plsssssss

People would cry murder if they made a 'realistic' pokemon game.

 

[raven777]

[STILLethal]

^yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaas........just imagine, 1 day...

People would cry murder if they made a 'realistic' pokemon game.

Bro you see Noctis throwing that Pokeball-looking-thing around, me want moaaaaaar

 

[wmlk]

It's like IGN got to go to Japan and were like, yeah, we did some cool shit in this game that we couldn't find in the demo, so let's call it high level.

It's really no different from this.

EDIT: Oh, they use a spear for a split second, too.

 

[Genio88]

Looks awesome, just a shame i'll have to play it on Xbox One, it'd be awesome on PC, i hope they'll improve performance for the final release cause the latest demo didn't run that well at all

 

[Salty Rice]

Kinda unfair to compare the two when they're shooting for two completely different things.
This video was still pretty weak tho.

Well i did that because even if its the japanese release they will come out around the same time. Also there was a time FF was a also turn based.

 

[Hedge]

Ring magic? Isn't that the armiger or however it's spelled?

 

[Philippo]

This is just SE giving IGN some of the B-Roll footage GameInformer recorded, which is all but high-level gameplay.

 

[Ketaya]

Ring magic? Isn't that the armiger or however it's spelled?

Nope. Ring magic is something we haven't seen anything of yet. It's supposed to be the non-elemental magic and work differently from the elemental one.

 

[The Last One]

Ring magic? Isn't that the armiger or however it's spelled?

Ring magic is the kind of Magic that only Noctis will be able to use. We haven't seen anything about it yet though.

 

[taoofjord]

The combat looks fine to me but I wish the environments weren't so incredibly dull and lacking detail. No idea how people could watch this video and come away impressed with the game's visuals.

 

[rhandino]

Looks like its going to be fun to play... or at least fun to watch the animations =P

 

[NoctisVsStar]

It's just the starting duscae area

 

[RPGCrazied]

Cool. Samurai type enemies! Lets seem some new summons.

Neo patch to fix the IQ with stable 1080p and 30fps from Uncovered footage and I'll be satisfied. Hopefully the rumor of late September games requiring Neo patch is true.

 

[True Fire]

Ok now I want a Pokemon game with these graphics and gameplay...plsssssss

It's coming eventually. Pokemon is finally hitting the PS2 era, which is absolutely insane to think about. Pokemon will be in HD in 2019.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looks good.......I don't know about "High Level" though.

 

[DigtialT]

High level? I could do all that in the Platinum demo minus the cold magic, where is the armigar? The party commands/party attacks? Weapon abilities? Summons? They did like no weapon switching mid combo either? Where are the other weapon types like katana or guns? How is any of this "high level"?

 

[Jakartalado]

What's up with Gaf?

I was expecting gifs by now.....

Stuck at work for now, I hope they really change the pacing from the combat, you just hold one button to attack and when you are low on health hold the dogde button to escape and recover your health.

At least on Duscae it worked for me without any trouble. I wish they change to something closer to Kingdom Hearts by the end of the development. Don't hold, use the attack button, create a gap that your char becames an easy target to stop the attack animation so the player use their attacks with carefull.

 

[Joqu]

Yeah, this doesn't look high level. Uh, thanks IGN?

 

[farisr]

Neo patch to fix the IQ with stable 1080p and 30fps from Uncovered footage and I'll be satisfied. Hopefully the rumor of late September games requiring Neo patch is true.

I wouldn't consider it a rumor. It's in the development kit documentation after all.

Yeah, this doesn't look high level. Uh, thanks IGN?

But dude didn't you see him throwing all those shuriken while staying in the air. High level! High level I tell you!

 

[Arkeband]

Highly edited bullshot footage, no HUD or damage numbers, basically just a showcase for animations on PS4? XB1? Their testing PC environment? Who knows!

We're 4 months out folks. This video doesn't give me confidence in the final product.

 

[Whompa02]

Man the IGN video player is a whole other level of absolute garbage.

 

[KiraXD]

Hope SE brings it to SDCC this year... i never can make it to E3, but i go to SDCC every year... SE's game booth is always amazing (except last year... i dont even remember the games they were demoing... I think DQHeroes and something else...)

Love to try this out, i didnt get Duscae... so... T_T

I agree, that's very unfortunate

 

[Breakage]

Seems to lack the polish that I'd associate with a mainline FF game.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

Looks amazing. This system will be so much fun as you get more proficient. Overall it is a huge improvement over older systems.

you cant compare it to older systems in the series like that though...its a different genre

 

[BennyBlanco]

Not sure what's worse, FFXV combat or IGNs video player

 

[Angel_DvA]

game looks super rough, environment, LOD and vegetation are pretty bad but the characters animation and the art save it for now, not impressed at all...

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

More interested in that song. Anyone know that track?

Gameplay looked okay, still very skeptical about it. Hoping for the best.

 

[Mifec]

Still far from fun like KH, make it better Tabata.

It's coming eventually. Pokemon is finally hitting the PS2 era, which is absolutely insane to think about. Pokemon will be in HD in 2019.

Gonna be HD next year on Citra.

 

[Wagram]

I have no faith in them optimizing by release.
