I don't personally mind the image quality too much. Ultimately it's a rather ambitious game and the sole user of its engine. I mean, I notice minor technical issues, but I imagine the final release version at the end of November will smooth some of those over.
I can't stop laughing. You win the internet.

Why does everyone's hair look so low res?
JayBabay
Member
Low res!? It's the damn hair that's probably making the game chug haha. It's like trying to play Witcher with the Nvidia Hair Works On.
this FF despite everyone screamy bloody murder over the graphics is the type of FF I have wanted for a long time. Ever since demo'ing Duscae I have been waiting for the moment of damn launch of this game. Cannot wait till November.....hell I'm excited for the movie to be availab eon digital in just a matter of a couple weeks.
It isn't anything like Hairworks.
They're using alpha cards, but the problem is that they're too expensive to alpha blend, so they dither it to awful effect.
There are other games that have used this shortcut namely Paragon/UE4 and Uncharted 4. The difference there is that their TAA solution effectively does the same thing as alpha blending.
Look! The Pie!

As someone who hasn't been keeping up with footage of the game, and whose hype has been at an all-time low after the recent delay...I have to say I'm really, really pleasantly surprised.
Graphics seem fine to me. Sure, I guess things could look better, but I really couldn't give less of a fuck about dithering or whatnot, especially in a game of this scope and size. As long as the visuals don't hurt my eyes or look insultingly bad (like the menu texture in the diner, yikes), I'm not bothered.
Combat looks fun and brisk, which is what I was hoping for. Hopefully we get some epic boss battles (I haven't seen the Titan fight everyone was talking about a while ago).
I resisted the "anime boyband brotrip" concept for so long, but now, seeing the four guys interact and have fun together...fuck it, I'm in. Love the interplay between them and the real sense of friendship there. Gladio is hot AF and I don't think Prompto is going to annoy me as much as I'd feared, so that's a plus.
The hunts are giving me strong FFXII vibes, but I hope they're not the only sidequests available; variety is good!
Speaking of variety, love how many different monsters we've seen so far, and that many of them are reimaginings of classic FF enemies.
Soundtrack seems to be God-tier already, and we've only heard snippets so far!
Now on to the negative...I just cannot deal with Ignis's voice. His VA sounds like someone badly imitating what they imagine to be an upper class English accent, and some of his pronunciation is really off. Cindy can jog on, too -- in a game with such a reduced focus on female characters, I really can't handle a walking, yeehaw-ing stick of fanservice.
Still, I'm definitely feeling positive about the game now, which is a minor miracle in itself.

Yeah I really liked it too. I think the voice choices are quite good so far, also cool we finally got to hear them with proper lip synch which really helps. Especially Noctis, Cindy (some may not like it but it fits the character they made perfectly and she comes off likable right away IMO), Cor (sounds kind of like Crispin Freeman, which is awesome if so), Cid and Prompto. Gladio's fine and now there's separation between his voice and the new Noctis voice. Ignis is iffy and a bit over-dramatic but I like what they are going for so I think I'll like it in the end and I'm already pretty used to it over the several showings of the game we've heard him.
Great to see (and hear) her in the footage. She'll probably only show up a few times but I love her design, her voice and animations were good too.
The bits of the soundtrack already in the early part of the game are damn fantastic.

True, but Sony require all games released after October to have a Neo mode, right? So even if I have to wait until the Neo releases in Spring 2017 (which seems highly unlikely) I'll still be able to play a version of this game without the IQ and performance issues. That makes me really happy, and is well worth waiting for to me. Not that it can't be perfectly enjoyable to those of you who don't mind the hair aliasing and framerate dips. Just good to know this game will definitely have a more future-proofed version available from launch =)
Are you British by any chance? I often wonder if it's only us Brits who notice the bad fake accent. It's doubly annoying because Gideon Emery is American but NAILED Balthier's British accent in XII. He could play as the next Bond with a voice like that.
It wouldn't be Square without next gen hair tech =D I remember playing Mass Effect and Skyrim and cringing at the static hair models, remembering how Vagrant Story had animated hair two whole generations ago on the PS1.

Nothing about that hair technology is new (or particularly good).
I don't get why people think this is funny...

I'm not British but I think I'd like it more if he talked like he actually does:

Her accent makes her sound like a damn loon. Seriously, you don't have to say 'yall' like 5 billion times, and 'paw paw' as if that makes you sound really darn tootin.
I think iris should have been far more prominent than it seems like she is in the story, and taken Cindy out entirely.

It's no HairWorks, but for console it looks top notch (aliasing aside - really hoping they can address that with UC4 quality TAA with the Neo version).
Holy crap, he's British in real life? How can he screw up his own accent!?
They don't need a neo version to address that. They only need to fix their TAA (which looks to be a bit of a crappy implementation).

That's hilarious, I'm English and I thought he was voiced by an American doing a poor English accent. Very strange.
A lot of british people thought Lara in Tomb raider was American doing a poor english accent, but perhaps it is the rare phenomenon of art imitating life? Or maybe life imitating art.
You've got ears though, i would not be able to tell an American doing a british accent apart from a british person doing an American accent in movies unless it sometimes bleeds through, which it can at points.

Same for me. I was shocked when I heard Dr. House talking with his own accent in Conan's talk show, I always thought he was American lol.
So, I enjoyed a lot about this video once I got past the parts with ugly graphics, terrible "southern" voice acting and all those weird ass cut arounds.
I liked the towns, I liked the character interactions, I liked the camp and cooking, I liked the guests, and that flirty chick, I liked the Chocobos, I liked the shops, I liked the car, I liked the animal variety, I liked the NPCs, I liked the City and I liked the little story that there was.
I liked everything basically.
Except the battles. That's the problem. The battles look boring as fuck. Game ruining boring.

Well she sure stole my heart without me noticing
Ah! There we go. I've been trying to find a way to describe why I hate Ignis' voice acting so much. This is the perfect description. The voice actor is trying too damn hard to the point that it's ridiculously unrealistic. It's as if they hired somebody who's never heard of a real British accent or something.
As for Cindy, I have yet to find anything likable about her. I don't care about her role in the story so far, and I sure as hell don't care that Prompto has a crush on her. Her accent's pretty off-putting too... But her design's really the worst. Can't stand to look at that shit. I wish she just looked like a proper mechanic, something like any of these would be significantly better:
Then maybe I wouldn't cringe so much whenever I saw her.
Both in TR and here, the phenomenon is bad direction and bad script writing (and/or bad VA).
Yo thats legit a good design girl has designer job clothesYuffie 2.0 has nice little shurikens in her shirt ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

How old is Gladio's sister? Because it's getting creepy in here. ಠ_ಠ

Noctis is 20 years old so I guess she's like 17-18. But idk for sure.
Probably underage since she seems younger than the gang.
That sounds about right.

I'm sure the localization will bump her age up a bit like they did with Penelo.

True.
PSY also said Iris seems to be at least 18.
That's the age I honestly assumed Iris was with how young she looks.

How old is Penelo supposed to be in FF XII?

The hair looks like shit dude. Nothing about it is "top notch"
If my knowledge of anime tropes is anything to go by, i'd guess she's around 16 (i really hope she isn't 14 or some shit). So like, the age of the Zidane in ff9... or Garnet.
