Pretty much.
I feel like the outfit changes actually fit a first playthrough very well. I always thought it would feel weird to be on the run from the empire but still wear your standard Lucis royalty clothes. Nice to know we'll have options. I'll go with what feels natural for each part of the game. Not touching that coat until I leave Duscae and the place I'm at doesn't look hot as fuck.
Fantastic article! As if my hype for this game couldn't be any higher!
I highlighted the three regions on the world map. There's still plenty of places to see.
EDIT: fixed the Leide western border.
EDIT2: Added the area of Episode Duscae.
Something I feel the need to correct. The kingdom/region is not called Insomnia. Insomnia is specifically the capital city, which is surrounded by walls. So it would be the rectangular part in the middle. The kingdom itself is Lucis.

Duck-Sama with the lore.
Well... hate to break it to you but this is also old news. Wan Hazmer praised XBX so...

You must really like Kingaglaive to be absorbed so much into the lore. Must be incredible.

This is a great read, everyone should check it out. Interesting structure to the game created from the Chapter system. Confused about leveling akin to Dark Souls though. What does it mean by that? For certain you aren't leveling individual stats, right?

Yeah the kingdom is Lucis, I just marked it based on the in-game map which doesn't differentiate the city and it's surrounding areas.
I think that this is the country's map, where Insomnia, Duscae, Leide and Cleigne are all part of the Lucis kingdom (at least before Niflheim invaded them).

You can only level up by sleeping at camps hence the dark souls comparison

Fuck it, I caved and watched it. Really, really liked it. There were so many mechanics we haven't known yet. It's all coming together and for the first time it seemed like an actual game. All the nitpicking about small technical stuff is so irrelevant, honestly. You won't notice while playing and having fun. Loved how you can customize the outfits and even have non-black clothing. Never expected them to budge on that aspect - guess the feedback was unequivocal. The VA is very uneven (Prompto will never not be annoying and grating), the rest I got used to and actually liked in the end - Cor sounded perfect. Music was great and there are still so many songs we haven't heard yet. I still find the "enemy near" alarm jingle annoying and I would've liked a less bombastic battle theme intro for every small mob you encounter. Something a bit more subdued would've been nice. But that's minor stuff you'll get over as long as you enjoy the rest of the game
Super positive on the game now. Graphics and performance will improve over the next months, anyway, and even post-release. The most important thing is that the game seems like a big, fun adventure. Good thing they took another 2 months. I think, I wouldn't even mind another few months until Spring '17 even, as long as they can deliver a solid game. You know, it doesn't even have to be the Game of the Forever, just a great game. FFXVI will benefit so much from the experience SE gained and the catching-up they done for FFXV. Can't wait for the future, we're blessed. Tabata era. Ifrit represent. Balee dat.
Bless you,man.
Agreed. How could anyone forget the super serious, realistic and not ridiculous costumes the FFVII characters wear.
Yes, and FFVII is probably my favorite game ever. Looking back all the FF characters looking weird by today's standard, especially when they are realized in 3D and more realistic as possible.

I guess what they mean is that you store up the ap by camping and then choose a specific ability to learn. For instance, bonfires are where you level up.

Oh hell yeah this got me pumped!! Not gonna lie the VO is kinda cringey at points, but I'm liking the group dynamic and Noctis acts like a normal person thank God and not a Sasuke clone. Not sure I might just go for the JP VO but isnt the MoCap done for the English VO only? Can someone confirm this please. Tbh this just made the delay even worse fuck 
, good thing there is a new episode tomorrow and then the movie in a couple of weeks so that would soften the blow a bit, kinda wish they did something to compensate fans for the delay, like releasing King's tale earlier or a demo or .. something.

Am I the only one who thinks that the font choice for Final Fantasy 15 is really bad? It looks like it's not all that legible to me, the letters lack the proper weight and the spacing is uneven. It just messes the OCD in me.

Haha jeez, Cidney sounds like Sandy Cheeks. I mean, I played Duscae so I know what she sounds like, but jeeez.
Like... I kinda don't get what they're going for here so far. Just a lot of frankly bizarre choices.
Oh god and the hill-billy diction. Please stahp.

Yeah, I can understand that. It would be good to wear disguises to blend in with other civilians.
I just never really change outfits in JRPGs, though. xD

Yeah that VA is pretty bad for a 2016 game. Not gonna lie tho i kinda like that crappy anime dub/advent children feel tbh
They are. Anyone who thinks otherwise is trippin
I think they look fantastic:

This game's VO isn't great but Danganronpa is kind of a lateral shift.

DR1's is kind of Hit and Miss, but DR2 is extremely solid.

The fact you can change your clothes explains what Tabata has said about the game containing less CGs.
I've tried to skip things here and there not to spoil myself too many story elements.
My impressions are that the combat system has been really polished and looks fun to play.
The mood/atmosphere is there as well.
Graphics are too much hit and miss, there are certainly parts where it can look impressive but there are also totally bland and flat sections.
I'm not satisfied with these graphics, hopefully things will be improved on Neo.
But the game overall looks promising.

Liked the Playstation Access video. Nice to see someone competent with the combat playing. I like that you can talk to people to find places in the open world. Also said combat felt a lot smoother than Platinum Demo.
So far all the hands-on impressions are solid or better for everything except performance. Here's hoping on that delay.

I think they look fantastic:
WAAAY too desaturated and grimdark. Black, black, desaturated grays, nearly black colors, black...
The original versions had dark colors, but they were at least COLORS, with some vibrancy and visual pop to them.
Give me color any day of the week.

Is the composer of this game Yoko? The battle music sounds very Kingdom Heartsy.

GOTY 2016, better than SEGA Bass Fishing
Not gonna lie, I would probably spend a lot of time fishing to get my mind off of things, haha
Yes she's the composer.
Well said.
I mean...okay. But my point (if you like...read the conversation) was that they look great when they're in 3D and made realistic.
That doesn't really change if you make them more colorful.
What you guys think are the chances of the Versus clothes being in the game?
Before this video I thought it was a far fetched cause I didn't think they would let you change out of the Roen style clothing. But now we know that we can and the clothes they do give you are more realistic, I wonder if they decided to put these in as a nod to those who've been waiting.

Yeah they are definitely doing an "in the interest of time" thing here; most of the cutscenes and parts of gameplay are truncated or outright ommitted.
I have to say, watching this the VA is kind of growing on me. It's not like 'good' in the same way an Uncharted game is, but more of a coherent character is starting to shine through. Also liking the feel of the world from the stuff shown.
My main issue at the moment is the control scheme. O to attack and Square to Defend is not a system that makes much sense to me. Would much prefer Square to attack and R1 to guard. Do you think there'll be multiple control schemes?
Oh god did Noct just 'Draw' Magic?
