Final Fantasy XV: World of Wonder video (ft. Florence + The Machine)

I'm really curious how this game will review. I haven't kept up with it all, but it seems like it's trying to do so much. I played that second demo and came away super underwhelmed. Just can't get a bead on it.

CONS:

Terrible compression, looks like 480p at 1080p.
fog_effects: +100000 in most of the shots
Water effects rivaled by Morrowind
Stretched, gross textures for terrain

YIKES, guys.

PROS:

At least they weren't using the PC build as marketing material again.

Sometimes it just feels like people are trying too hard to find negative qualities with this game.
 
The thing that makes the region block worse is the fact that the YouTube app notifies you just to tell you it isn't available =(, y SE Y.

Also this game needs more AA, looks great though.
The water effects +ripples kinda sucked as well
 
It takes a special kind of privileged to look at that and say "Well these visuals are shitty".

Something something IQ

The game desperately needs a PC version.

Screen space reflections apply only to the center area of the screen, don't know why, maybe performance reasons.

That was the one thing in the video that looked really awful tbh. Aside from the terrible compression.

The actual environment and monster design looked fantastic though. I'm definitely looking forward to the game, even with all of its faults.

The compression and AA are bad yes, but the rest? Fog, Morrowind water, streched textures? What? Where? The only fog I've seen here is the foggy weather in a few scenes, water and textures look good to me.

And I'm 100% sure this is recorded on a PC in their engine, not running on a console, because that would be unnecessary additional work for a video like this. That doesn't mean it looks any different from how it will be running on a console though.

I can't think of a modern game with a better bestiary, realistic or fantastic.

The depth of the species specific animations are really great.
 
Really good World of Wonder, maybe my favorite one up to date! They need to know what are the other monsters from other places in the world, it seems they keep showing up Duscae again.

I think they only use Duscae all the time because they don't want to spoiler any more areas.
Many of the monsters shown might be in completely different places in the actual game.
 
To be quite honest it doesn't look that interesting. I kept losing attention and tried to focus but everything is kind of samey.

If you have ever seen the BBC Planet Earth trailer with the Sigur Ros song, you'd get an idea of how to do a "World of Wonder".
 
I'm so excited for this game. I'm also slightly worried that this is going to be the last bombastic AAA no holds barred title from Japan for a long while.

Don't worry, Square has a few more bombastic AAA titles to go through until they give up and go all in on mobile.

Nooooo, don't try to smother me in Foghorn + the Machine SE. She sucks.

Please stop hurting me. On the same topic, I thought it was a little strange they picked her to do make some original tracks and then remembered they picked a Leona Lewis song as the XIII English theme. What a strange thing that was.

I think the game is going in a similar direction as Xenoblade Chronicles X did, a JRPG take on the AAA open world game. I quite enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles X so we'll see how FFXV pans out.

This seems like a silly thing to think, given the large number of titles SE has announced/released in the last few years.

If anything, they are one of the more prolific Japanese developers/publishers on console.
 
eh

I pray that the final game is amazing. But as some people pointed out, the stories of Crisis Core and Type-0 were really bad. I'm scared that in the end, the same will be said of XV's. We'll see.

Well they have announced more games than they have released in the last few years, and they ones they have released haven't done too well like Star Ocean V, I am Setsuna, and Bravely Second. Honestly I don't think they will go all in on mobile, but they will definitely scale down on projects like those in the future.

OT: I think the video looks great and I can't wait to play the game.
 
I like the creature design and from what we've seen, the world looks nice but it's definitely not a good looking game. Some of the pans in that video really show off how ugly some of the textures are and how low the lod is.

Still super excited though. Might be the first FF game I don't actually get bored with after the initial couple hours.
