Final Fantasy XV - 50 min video

The game looks like butt. I was hoping for some graphical improvements but it looks worse each time I see it.
 
Loving the Ascension UI, seems very similar to Skyrim's perk system

Old Noctis looks worse than what I imagined. I guess I just have to come to terms with the fact that this game is no longer for me.
 
New November release date means a Neo mode is a necessity for FFXV now, right?
Think I'll wait for when I own a Neo judging by the performance and IQ issues...
 
Only watched the Chapter 1 portion of the video so from what I saw:

-The English VA's for the boys & Cindy actually sound quite good, however the lip syncing still needs work. Cor's VA sounds oddly familiar (McCree?).
-Loving that overhead satellite map.
-Hell yeah I love level up grids. Very sleek UI on the menus in general.
-Being able to change clothes is a plus.
-These Hunts are making me all nostalgic for FFXII haha.
-Combat is looking a lot more refined.
-Music is amazing as always (<3 Shimomura).
-The IQ will no doubt be very inconsistent in this game.
-Framerate noticeably dipped in moments you would expect it to but otherwise it was pretty damn stable which is good.

November is so far away dammit.
 
Yep. I didn't believe people at first but I switched it over and yeah... fantastic work. An example from the expansion's opening (spoilers in here):

Wow, that really is a lot better. I criticized FFXIV's writing and voice work in the past because I thought I'd seen everything after ARR, but this is fantastic. It's a shame Heavensward is locked behind all the patches for XIV which keep making me lose interest whenever I think of coming back (even though I have bought Heavensward already :/).

I think a Neo mode will happen since Sony loves to use SE to show their new tech, but I wouldn't take the delay as a confirmation. SE could probably easily get an exception to the Neo patch rules.
 
People who want less of spoilers and seeing everything that the game does at the start should check PSAccess's gameplay version, it's shorter (15 minutes) and has some new info and impressions.

I don't need anything fancy. Just a guaranteed 1080p30 at all times would be enough. The game looks gorgeous in still imagery, but can look horrendous in motion when the framerate falls imo. I envy gamers who don't notice or mind the drops.
 
Does anyone know if they'll be releasing an actual new trailer?


On topic, though.... game looks amazing, wait will be torture but so worth it.
 
Heavensward en va is fantastic. Kagari is strangely right here. The expansion itself is a pretty good traditional ff experience tbh.

Sometimes I wish I could just to see what a large portion of this website are talking about lol. I Dont No what I'm looking for tho, slow down?
 
This game is going to be amazing. That was some good footage.

Also the game is looking fantastic visually. Sure, there are a few minor technical problems that likely won't be solved but the engine's strengths are also apparent. It beats every game using UE4 and the problems are minor.
 
I doubt we are getting a new trailer until the PlayStation Meeting (which will be nearly all gameplay) and then a story trailer near launch, that's it.
 
OlderNoctis doesn't look too bad, but they gave him the same generic western style armor that NewRegis uses, they should have him wear his roen suit or another suit.
Or they should have used the original Regis design, modify it a bit and make him OlderNoctis.

Aside from that I liked what I saw, the game doesn't run as bad as some people were saying and the graphics are ok, and now they have a couple more months to polish it a little more, so I think it will be fine by release date, I can't wait.
 
This. Worst design yet. I knew they would try to make him look like his dad (the new design mind you) when they look nothing alike.

Overall thoughts:

Opening is very flat. Its meant to dreading and captivating but they could cut it and nothing of value would be lost. They are really pushing this all for one idea and at times its really cringey. Like guys, you don;'t have to do everything together.

Biggest disappointment is the lack of CGI. especially for the opening. Is VisualWorks even doing anything for this game? The graphics need some notable improvement as well. Unacceptable for PS4 tbh and definite downgrade from Duscae.

Gameplay looks great, wonder how rewarding exploration will be. Bit worried about the direction of the story...seems like tombhunting is the drive when I expected more pressure from other plotlines. I'll let it slide since its only the first few hours.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't the full opening.

There was CGI shown a couple of months ago in the "Universe of Final Fantasy XV" interview showing Noctis being sent off by Regis. So there's that, at least.

Hoping there's more than an opening and ending :(

Rather you should look for stuttering, I'd say. I hardly ever notice it either for small drops (I am not representative though, I have played Skyrim at 15 fps with drops down to 5-8 fps and found it to be only mildly stuttering). Some people are very sensitive to it, though, to the point that even small frame drops can make them nauseous.
 
I can't believe there is no opening CGI. They must have skipped it in this demo?

Also I like that the ascension levelling system in this game doesn't merely grants stat boost, but also adds more unique ways to improve Noctis. Magic fusion seems intriguing too. They're still keeping how ring magic works a secret huh.

On the subject of dub, I thought it wasn't that bad. Wasn't great, but bearable for me. Not a fan of Cidney's accent, but the quality of her voice delivery is alright. Iris's acting when she interacts with Noctis is awkward though. Overall party banter was decent. Graphics look good at times, bad in the others.

I'm most pleased with the fact that the cast actually do wear something that isn't in black. Now they do look like a regular group of friends hanging out instead of a boyband group.

Fine with me. Skip TGS as well. After this it should be all hands deck. I hate this term in game Dev but it's crunch time from now until November 29th.
