Is everyone disappointed now?

 

[Turin]

So they were wearing Glaive outfits. Neat.

"At least 40 hours to complete main story"

 

[KZXcellent]

200 Hours to complete everything. 40 hours for Main Game.

 

[Ydelnae]

40 hours only taking into account main story missions, 100 hours if we include side quests.

 

[Byvar]

So:

Spoiler

if the return to Insomnia is indeed at the very end of the journey, and Ardyn is there, then I guess he probably is one of the final bosses. If not the final boss.

 

[MultiJhonny]

These are some good questions

 

[R10Neymarfan]

40 hours is kinda little

But 200 total is a lot,I hope it's not the generic open world complete this task though

 

[Arkeband]

200 hours sounded like an asspull number.

"At least 40 hours to complete main story"

Considering you can beat ff9 in 13 hours (see: Excalibur II), I find that length to be quite good. Average jrpg length i'd say.

Considering how little they actually showed I think 40 is quite a lot

 

[chozen]

Wait Tabata said the Return to Lucis is basically the end? and that Lucis isn't exploreable... :/

At least 200 hours of content is hype, considering I will be doing many play throughs in my lifetime.. lol

 

[MultiJhonny]

Wait Tabata said the Return to Lucis is basically the end?

yeah he did

 

[Aters]

Venice in AC2.

Also, this is flat out wrong. Beauclair is like a fairy tale.

I forgot about AC series. Those cities are fantastic, hands down some of the best cities in any videogames.

As for Beauclair, in my untrained eyes, fairy tale and medieval are never really that different. Most fairy tales we know today are originated in the medieval time IIRC. I like Altissia not just because of the European look of it, but also because it's a modern city. People wear jeans and use cellphone in this city. When I think of other modern cities in videogames, most of the time they lack distinct characteristic (like GTA cities, they are as real and ugly as a real city). To me this blend of classic and modern is the biggest appeal of the game.

He said that part is near the end of the journey, but not the actual ending to the game iirc.

40 Hrs is the normal time for a Final Fantasy main story. It's completely in-line with the series.

 

[Mailbox]

Welp, the hope for better AA is dashed...

 

[Brentonp]

That AA answer wasn't too helpful...

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

What did he say about AA?

 

[Aters]

First time I beat FFIX it took me a little over 30 hours. FFXII and FFXIII are long, but all the other FF games are around 30-40 hour.

 

[Mailbox]

What did he say about AA?

they will only implement it every few frames because it will be too taxing.

Shame. The lack of AA makes the hair in the game gross

 

[KZXcellent]

What did he say about AA?

They're not applying constant AA as it would cause too much strain so they have it going every few frames.

 

[MultiJhonny]

I like that answer about Somnus.

 

[chozen]

Somnus at a special moment.. Can't wait.

 

[Blues1990]

It is quite literally a flying car and they make no bones about it. I mean look at it, it's a car and it sprouts wings to fly. FF has never taken itself entirely seriously.

I'm bumping these two posts, as I'm hoping that DLC will offer us a junky old car with a bunch of balloons attached to the top of the vehicle.

 

[Mailbox]

I like that answer about Somnus.

Yeah, but he didn't say anything about the lyric version. :/

 

[Veldin]

That AA response probably explains why it looks fine to me in-person but slightly rugged in screenshots.

 

[KZXcellent]

Basically when stuff goes nuts Somnus will play.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Man i was really hoping they would be able to improve IQ =( oh well, as long as it runs smoothly thats the most important part.

 

[Mailbox]

I just hope its better than the platinum demo :/

 

[wanders]

Few summons confirmed :/

 

[benzy]

Disappointing, but I guess it proves they're prioritizing framerate.

Bring on Neo.

 

[Turin]

So they're going to use "Stand By Me" for TV spots?

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Wow, the fucking car is a transforming gundam jet fighter plane...I'm shook lol!

 

[Styles]

Looks like I'll be purchasing a PS4 Neo sooner than expected.

 

[KZXcellent]

4-5 Summons would be nice. Ramuh and Titan look AMAZING so I'm excited to see the others. Hopeful for Shiva or Ifrit.

 

[Ydelnae]

Less summons than in previous mainline entries, but everyone of them is integrated into the story and plays an important role in the FFXV world. The only ones confirmed yet are Ramuh, Titan and Carbuncle.

 

[MilkBeard]

Interesting. Realistic limitations to the summons.

 

[Nauren]

Interesting. Realistic limitations to the summons.

I actually dig this...

 

[Mailbox]

yay for engine sword

 

[Balls]

Engine sword yo.

 

[Styles]

Disappointing.

 

[Falk]

There weren't that many in XIII

Spoiler

pls don't punch me

 

[benzy]

I somewhat remember Tabata saying Leviathan can't be summoned by the player, only Luna. Looks like it's changed.

 

[Aters]

Less summons.... I think six is a good number.

That AA response probably explains why it looks fine to me in-person but slightly rugged in screenshots.

Yeah. It looks rough in screenshots, but I don't find it that bad in motion. And you can see how the game is supposed to look in the pause screen., it's actually very clean with full AA solution.

SE should hire some people from Konami for the tech issues of open world games, since Konami don't need them anymore.

 

[Turin]

Interesting. Realistic limitations to the summons.

Yeah. That's pretty cool.

Like when there's some logic to the magic/fantasy elements.

 

[KZXcellent]

There will be additional story content and costumes via DLC.

 

[Plywood]

DLC plans finalized, they want DLC to feel as though you made "a great purchase."

Additional story, costumes and things that don't fall into that category that may pleasantly surprise fans.

 

[artsi]

Yeah. I just played Duscae today, and it was pretty good in motion. If the final game is 1080p most of the time (on PS4) + that same AA, I'm happy.

 

[Brentonp]

Alternate control confirmation was the best part for me!
