Have you watched brotherhood? You might like the cast more if you do.

Nope, was waiting for all 6 videos to release. That's what I was saying though, going in to this week I was not too crazy about the cast but the previews/gameplay video turned it around.

For Brotherhood, I will certainly watch it, possibly the prequel movie too but I am of the kind that the game needs to be able to carry itself without extraneous materials.

Edit: For Ignis VA, I work quite a bit with Brits and we have a guy who lives near London and sounds almost exactly like Ignis. I am not too well versed on British accents but didn't find the VA particularly bad (unlike glad the cast in XIII). Maybe he sounds different to Brits' ears.

 

[Redx508]

The hair itself is excellent. Unfortunately the aliasing is what makes it look bad.

Sorry man but the game looks like shit. I know is hard for you to hear that.

 

[Gbraga]

What will be the OT title, anyway?

I kinda feel like using one of Versus' catchphrases would only make people salty and lead to off topic discussion. Maybe go with Reclaim Your Throne?

You sure he isn't putting on a terrible accent too :^)

Oh please.

You are in a minority there. Just don't forget that.

Yeah, I think the hair looks pretty good. Its just the aliasing that really drags it down unfortunately.

 

[Gbraga]

This game just begs for downsampling. It's a shame that I don't think I'll be able to wait for the PC version, that would really be the ideal way to experience it for the first time.

I'll definitely double dip, though.

 

[Ishida]

Sadly. I thought it looked fantastic in Duscae.

I mean everything is possible but then he kept it up for years now and the rest of the folks in the other side of the pond don't comment on it. Then again English is not my first language so it could be just me .

Hahah I wasn't serious, I'm pretty sure you know but saying it anyway. English isn't my first language either but I don't find it that good, idk I guess we can chalk it up to personal preference.

End of the road

Lol I wonder what Kags comes up with.

"Excellent Hair"

 

[Archpath1]

Sasuke looks badass in this

Game looks great

 

[Ishida]

"Excellent Hair"

So you pretty much confirm that the hair itself looks great, but the aliasing makes it look horrible.

Basically what everyone else has been saying, but... Yeah.

 

[Taelus]

I don't get all the hate for Ignis's voice. He sounds kinda like Balthier from FFXII and I don't remember people complaining then.

"Excellent Hair"

And yet, the only problem I see is AA and IQ. The hair itself is good, the aliasing is not (which is what everyone has been saying)

 

[The Last One]

I'm rewatching the footage and just noticed that the spider enemy inflicted Prompto with the stop status:

You can see the clock icon next to his HP bar.

And yet, the only problem I see is AA and IQ. The hair itself is good, the dithering and aliasing is not (which is what everyone has been saying)

I really love how Luna's hair looks.

that could be "slow" as well

 

[kurahador]

"Excellent Hair"

It is. Problem seems to be the developers trying to render the hair by strands which results in pixelated mess.

 

[tuxfool]

So you pretty much confirm that the hair itself looks great, but the aliasing makes it look horrible.

Basically what everyone else has been saying, but... Yeah.

That is part of the problem. What matters is the final image presented on screen. It is an ill conceived implementation.

Other developers have worked within the bounds of compromise, here they pushed it to breaking point. There is a way to fix it, though I wonder if they will.

It's definitely stop, he got frozen. xD

Agreed. That's why I'm saying the current way it is displayed on screen is ugly. But the hair itself is pretty great.

I absolutely don't like how in the span of the first 3 chapters you're commissioned errands by four different characters (Cindy, the guy in Galdin Quay, Cor and the little Falk-kid). Hope the main quests gets much, much tighter in terms of activities going forward, otherwise it would be a big no-no for me.

Aslso, i'm really curious to see to what degree we'll be able to customize Noctis and the Party combat styles, until now it almost feels like there's very little variation in playstyles.

Btw, i bet Shimomura had the time of her life composing this game's soundtrack, such a wide variety of genres!

 

[Mailbox]

oh i didn't notice. You're right.

I wonder how petrification and doom will work.

(I have a feeling doom is gonna be like in Kh2FM; a boss gimmick)

I wanna know more about post Duscae stuff :/

 

[Toparaman]

Wow, it's not just the IQ, look at how bad the technical aspects are all over.

This is what I'm talking about. 2 months can probably improve the IQ and the framerate...but the game just looks flat and dated all over the place in the 50 minute video. I'm not sure the visuals can be salvaged, especially if the engine is at fault.

Tabata has said numerous times that he wanted XV to be a technical marvel on par with what VII was in its day. I think they've fallen far from that goal.

I want haste, it's gonna be fun to see how it can work in a action game. BTW, you guys can see the infliction of the stop status on Prompto here:

*Skips forward to combat footage, sees them everywhere*


I seriously cannot handle this right now... Duscae had NOTHING like this!

[Socivol]

I downloaded the 8 gig HD file....the game looks much cleaner than it does on Youtube but some of the graphics are still not the best.

When it comes to party combat styles, I think choosing the appropriate party action for said bro given the enemy is what makes the difference. For instance, you have Gladio for crowd control with tempest or you choose another skillset depending on the enemy.

On the other hand Noctis revolves around the weapons and your particular playstyle. Do you want more mobility? Pick swords with air warp abilities, want to do extra dmg? Broadswords, want to have mobility and not lose all your mp ? Have the engine blade equipped since it recovers mp after each hit. Remember different swords have different attributes and effects.

Main quests I'm with you but if the storyline is intriguing I won't have much of an issue.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

the hair looks great!

except for the part where the hair is rendered in game!

That coupled with this impression

Yes, that's correct.


@ Cidney / Cindy
I actually recorded the german dub where she introduces herself.
https://twitter.com/FinalXV/status/765840729272877056

Wow, she's called Cidney in German and doesn't sound half-bad. Is there any footage of Noctis' voice?

 

[Xenoflare]

Looks like the footage is a mix of PS4 and XB1

Kinda surprised that they bothered with XB1, but it's nice to see that since I don't have a PS4 yet.
