It's everything really, can you imagine walking down the street and seeing this from across the street?

What conceivable acting direction was the mocap actress given?

Act like a Kingdom Hearts character.

 

[Ray Down]

Fuck the arm thing.

I'm still working on my preview for work, but I just wanted to hop in and say I played this same build for over 4 hours.

I'd say my mood on it is below those incredibly ecstatic in this thread but also above the doomsayers; I'm somewhat in the middle. I was deeply skeptical of FF15 however and I did leave this preview hands-on with far more interest and excitement in the game. It was far from ready though, and I can see why the delay was absolutely necessary. It does indeed run better than the last time we saw it, but in my time with it I also experienced multiple nasty crashes to dashboard (PS4) and a boss broke, making progression impossible twice, forcing a reset to last save.

But I love the combat, the banter between the guys, etc. There's a lot to be excited about. I'll have a full preview really shortly, but yeah.

Thanks for this post.

Glad to have some impressions from someone who has actually played the game instead of 99% of the posters in this thread.

 

[T.O.P]

Next-gen food.

heh

 

[Blackthorn]

Weird and a bit worrying that they're mixing footage from the PC version in.

At the Behemoth encounter now and it's super atmospheric.

 

[oimori]

PS4 footage and XBO footage are mixed? waiting for comparison.

 

[Korezo]

Its all xbox footage?

 

[btrboyev]

character designs are so bad...I also love oen of the first things you notice is the scenery pop in.

Thanks for sharing your impressions.

It's ashame with the crashes and glitches you dealt with, but I suppose the delay was for the best.

As for banter, I agree with you. The bros are very funny together.

Or in the other thread,

 

[Astral Dog]

My wife is a little meh on the direction of the game, because it looks too much like a bro story.

confirmed this game is not for girls

Old Noctis looks awful.

imo he looks pretty sick, this is supposed to be a realistic game, maybe

 

[Ray Down]

2 months more won't change much, they should just delay it to 2017.

Nah 2 months is good amount of time for bugs and performance fixing.

 

[Kagari]

Image quality is all over the place on both consoles.

I already can't stand her

 

[Kagari]

Seems to be a mix. You can tell based on the button prompts and drop and rise in resolution.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I need to know how many developers we have in this site. So many people seem to know what two months can do.

 

[Perfo]

Showing 50 minutes of your game to everyone before launch really shows the team's confidence in their game.

In Tabata we trust!

 

[DarkLordMalik]

That's true.

That's what we get with a incomplete engine.

Be a cute spunky loli waifu? Cuz that's like what her entire archetype is. Yuffie/Selphie expy.

 

[artsi]

Got to say after watching the video, my hype is only stronger. Bring on November.

 

[Philippo]

Old Noctis looks awful.

You still can't get over Old Regis redesign, don't you?

Spoiler

[DeathSparks]

 

[kpkt]

I love how they actually mix parts recorded from both ps4 and xbone (button promts constantly changing during the video).

 

[Sciortino]

Looks great to me. Rough during certain points but it seems to run well enough and the gameplay looks fine. The acting is pretty terrible I must admit. Sounds very robotic and lack of any life. Still hyped for it, and I hope the delay improves on some rough parts.

 

[jett]

There seems to be a bunch of new combat themes. Is it confirmed that Shimomura composed the soundtrack by herself?

 

[Mik317]

it continues to feel like some people have made up their minds already.

I'm not even the biggest FF fan and I hated the demo (Platinum Demo was neat tho)....but holy shit I feel like I am watching completely different videos in every XV thread.

Bad dub? Man I have heard 10 times worse dubs.
PS2 game graphics? wut.

I mean opinions and all that sure...but wow, its weird to legit not see many of the issues people are having. It looks fine to me. Not perfect for sure...but after its dev cycle it never was going to be.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Old Noctis looks awful.

Looks like his father to me.

Nope, the original was fine.

Seems pretty normal to me for a Japanese game. I only know what I see in games and anime, but I see this type of motion a lot, so it's gotta be a common trope over there.

 

[Griss]

Well, doesn't look too great but I'm always up for an open world game or a game with flashy animations.

So is this game going to be dual audio? Because...

the line readings are dead, characters like cidney have cartoonish accents, there's no positional audio, the text doesn't sound like how english speaking people speak, and the lip synching is off. but yes i suspect if you are a fan of anime stuff these problems are par for the course.

...yeah.

 

[artsi]

Well, doesn't look too great but I'm always up for an open world game.

Yep. I'm playing with JP voices all the way, for obvious reasons.

 

[Blackthorn]

Looks like one final polish pass away from being pretty great to me, which it's luckily going to get. I still have doubts over certain aspects but this footage has made me feel a lot less worried.

The world itself looks beautiful enough for me to forgive quite a few flaws.

 

[Toki767]

Chocobos in the racing part looked rough.

"like johnny depp in pirates of the caribbean, except instead of being drunk you're an obnoxious 13 year old anime girl"

 

[Ray Down]

Think she had some help from the 14 guy, but it might be mostly her.

Falk would be a better person to ask.

She looks drunk lol. I just don't understand this sort of animation in some Japanese media.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Damn, I think it looks really fun. Technically it's quite rough, but hopefully the patch can remedy that somewhat. Definitely doesn't look nearly as shit as a seemingly large number of people on this forum are hoping it will be.

We'll see though.

Fortunately, yes it will be.

Exactly the issue.

Yeah, two months of work (thousands of man hours with their team) on top of this and it should be fine.

perfect :lol

Maybe she has Parkinson's…

 

[matrix-cat]

This is that style of writing where each character embodies one single stereotype and just hammers it home with every line.

"GRRR, I am the gruff one"

"He he he, let's do something sneaky"

"GRRR"

love this vendor dithering into existence feet in front of you. is that magic you can buy and use for your character?

 

[Pagusas]

Why are the voices so horrible??? I thought we were well past the days of shitty video game voice acting.

 

[HitchcockInTheZiplock]

The dialogue and voices seem corny as hell. That's fine with me, i'll prob just have a fun time laughing at it.

The music sounds great, and the combat was looking good too.

Overall, I think the game doesn't look amazing, but it doesn't look horrible either. I rarely read the new info on the game, but I took the dive this time, and it got me hype.

 

[The Last One]

Ok, the music that plays when they encounter the Iron Giant

OH MY GOD
