Final Fantasy XV - 50 min video

The lighting looks straight out of Dreamcast era at times. What the fuck...

On the plus side, music is god-tier and combat seems semi-compelling.

Thats just a load of hyperbole
 
Looks exactly like my kind of game. Big open world to explore. Great elements from previous final fantasy games.

Wasn't sure what to think about this game but I'm excited now.
 
Off topic but you saw the reaction when they made DMC Dante generic looking and edgy. I just think there's room for different flavors and while it may not gel well with everyone it's necessary to have options.

While true, I think there's a very wide variety of things that many will react well to as long as it's done in a smart, confident way.
 
different strokes for different folks? I mean i dont ask people why they may like NMS since it isnt my business, some of us just want an japanese styled rpg that isnt Tales of.

Luckily for us, three are coming out this September! DQVII, SMT IV A, Trails of Cold Steel 2 are going to be released within a week or two of each other. ;)

I kind of like overall what I am seeing of XV. Combat does look a bit iffy but the new Pause feature should carry it through (hopefully). The story is certainly sounding better then say XIII and spin-offs. Looks like they will have a few large cities plus bunch of small towns. I dunno, I have a decent feeling about this one.
 
If the French dub isn't in the NA release, I'm going to murder a motherfucker.

Uhh, if it is it'll probably be DLC if the game is 45 GB in one language as perhaps that Japanese 7-Eleven download card implied. Canadian French is quite a bit different from Parisian French though.
 
This looks like it has some cool systems in it, but man the combat doesn't look compelling at all, and that is one of the largest aspects of interest in an RPG for me. It also seems to have one of the worst openings I've ever even seen in a game recently, but that is something I can overlook in the long run.

I can see myself getting this on sale much later on. At the very least, it appeals to me more than Final Fantasy XIII ever did near its release.
 
You know, the world at a distance could look 1000x better if they'd make it so that foliage had more than a single shade of green at it's lowest LOD. In areas it's fine but once you hit foliage with vastly different shades at higher LOD's it's a real eye sore.
 
Hm, well it looks better than I thought it was going to, especially from what I remember of Duscae demo.

Is this confirmed to be the PS4 build, and not PC? I don't think i'd be as impressed if it was the PC.

There's footage from the PS4 and XBone versions. No PC.

Yeah after watching the video, the problem definitely seems to be the way LOD works in the game.

Yep definitely the ps4 & xbox one versions (you can see the different button prompts for them). This is the initial release candidate, after all. I know people are expecting things of the 2 months, but i really wouldn't expect too much other than large amounts of bug fixes, some framerate fixes, and maybe slightly better AA (but not much) I think what was surprising is that a lot of that video is from the xbox one version of the game, and I still found that it looked fine :)

Better framerate is all I really want at this point. I can 100% deal with everything else they've shown.

Ditto. Even then, The frame-rate seems bearable (to me at least).
I just noticed people expecting miracles

Me too. I can't wait for this game so much. I watched the first 2 mins of this video and then stopped. That's all I needed to see. I love campy games tho.


Noctis looks sick. His eng VA is surprisingly not annoying. And gladio looks awesomer Everytime I see him. If he existed irl, I'd totally grab a beer with him.
 
Where the fuck are the CGs!

I'm having a hard time getting excited about the side quests/hunts when all u get are Gil and accessories (weapons?)
For an open world rpg, it really needs visible gear customizations
Are they the only way to earn AP?
That'd be an awful idea
Same for the mini games
Meh

On a more positive note
The graphics look pretty darn good in motion still

But where are the fucking CGs!!

Honestly if the Gamescom trailer doesn't show more CGI cinematics apart from Regis sending off Noctis and co., expect only an opening and ending.
 
Hey gladio
What!?
Push this by yourself will ya
What!?
If we let go you wouldn't even notice

Lol!! At the very least they got the friends dynamic down very well. I'm super excited just for the banter alone
 
Yeah after watching the video, the problem definitely seems to be the way LOD works in the game.

AF or texture filtering could use some work too but yeah, LOD's are really weird in this game. KInda wish I knew more about Luminous, it's a really strange engine how in some more complex areas it produces fantastic results but then falls at the most basic of hurdles. IIRC it had some good hands at it too with a core member of the team that made the Hedgehog Engine involved for a period of time, and quality of the games it was used in aside, that engine was pretty solid at achieving its goals.
 
The fact that we finally have visible gear changes in a main offline FF game is kind of megaton for me.

I am very much looking forward to seeing end-game outfits for the squad.

They are not gear though, no?
Just costumes like in Tales

Will be such disappointment :(
 
The whole Old Noctis/Young Noctis visual discrepancies reminds me of the Sora/Roxas, Snake/Big Boss (MGS4), and Snake/Liquid (The Twin Snakes) situations. Only it's worse since it's supposed to be the same character and not a clone.
 
Fuck, skill trees.

Also who sends their son who is a prince out with no money?

They had money, had to spend it on repairs since the car broke down unexpectedly

They are not gear though, no?

That's true, but you still have accessories and accessory slots. We don't know what those accessories entail though. I'd say its more in line with Kh's accessory system + Aesthetic costumes.

He looks a LOT like a slightly younger version of his father, so I think it makes sense.
 
It showed stat changes when they selected different attire.

Just checked and holy damn you are correct. ._.

In fact the jacket-less price attire gives you ~60 hp less than with jacket, but your attack, speed and strength go up (all of which kinda make sense. Battling in a leather jacket would be cumbersome and slow, if slightly more protective)

Wish the accessories are visible too lol

Yeah, true.
 
Holy shit stat changes for different attire? That's so weird. Like, if I wear a jacket do I get a resistance to Ice or something?

Strangely I don't mind the old design, I think it fits to be honest since you can see a bit of his old man in there. What's really irking me is his voice is the same. He SHOULD sound more like Batman Noctis at that age and it kinda bugs me a lot to hear it's exactly the same. I'm hoping they change that but doubt they'd even have the time.
 
Wow the attires really did have stats :0
Not real customizable gear yet but it's better than nothing
This changes everything!


How did they neglect to talk about this at all
Baffling
Seems like a big deal to me

how old is Noctis? like 19, no?

then yeah I don't think his voice will change that much
