Final Fantasy XV - 50 min video

It seems like the game's ultra realistic designs conflicts with technical limitations, it's like in the uncanny valley or something.
 
The hair and some of the textures of trees and background look awful, but fuck it it's not so bad I'll wait for a proper pc version. Plus I can always double dip.

That's assuming pc version does take like a year or two to release. If it's a few months I can hold on.

Edit: remind me, can we switch to Japanese dub with subs? The English va isn't by any means horrible but some of the voiced are bothering me and seem like they'd work better with Japanese.

Thats pretty much my mind on it too. I'm gonna be waiting for a Neo, so if they announce a pc version before the Neo comes out, i may just wait for the pc version

Let's hope the bother to do something competent on the Neo. That's why I rather they work their asses off for the base version and then worry about Neo.
 
any confirmation on dual audio for english version or is it english only with possible japanese dub dlc?

Dual audio for all regions, now for which dubs you get may depend on region

Germany gets 4 (E,J,G,F)
Latin America gets three (E,J, L)
Canada will most likely have (F,E,J)

US I think only has english and japanesse

I'd be surprised if Canada gets a different copy than US. That's rarely the case.

All I needed was the japanese option with subs.

These english VAs really tried hard, but it's one of those things where some of them just sound awful or awkward in the context of the game haha.
 
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.
Heh, yeah, I was being facetious. Don't find anything wrong with Ignis' accent is all I am saying and I talk to Brits on daily basis :).
 
I don't get why people think this is funny...

If you're referring to me, it's a combination of 'did someone really just do that' plus 'what have I done' (since I was posting his various expressions earlier, those of which I actually do find funny) Meta humor, if you will.

It's basically in an area where had I been shown in private first, my response would have been "No, don't post that". But it's posted. And now we all suffer.

But now, like all shades of funny, it loses a bit of pizzazz by being explained.
 
yeah wtf with the voice acting

edit :
wtf at the soundtrack.... this is the most japanese game ever.
You're kidding me right. You can diss the graphics, voice acting and whatever but don't diss the OST which is fkn amazing so far.

I saw on twitter, would have to look through but there would be like 10 tracks from each FF mainline game on the radio.

I hope you don't expect all of that to be "OST" OST. As in, the actual album, not in-game use. T'would be kinda silly to have a whole bunch of tracks from previous games (all of which have existing OSTs) inflating disc count.
 
i can predict a lot of dlc costumes at .99 each and bundle at $3.50 for 4 costumes for each character and lot more for npcs such as luna , regis , highwind and lastly cindy

Nah, I know its not the OST and there more new tracks.

But maybe the FFCD of 9 I have is screwing me up since i swear there FF7 and 8 music in it.
 
Lord all mighty it runs so poorly. And this is an official demo put out by SE.

I hope the November delay improves the game. I'm still very excited about this tho.

let me change their outfits, possibly the hair of noctis (or let me make him older noctis) and it's a 9/10 from me.

Get a haircut, prince.

At the same time it's refreshing seeing a company actually come out and say "see? this is what the game will be like if we released it right now. See why we need to delay it?"

It's not an official -demo-, this is supposed to be the "final" build that they were happy enough with to ship into stores on Sept 30. Lol.

Whoa whoa. I missed this.

This wasn't a preplanned slice for Gamescom from before the delay? THIS is the final build they considered shipping?
 
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.

With the way they were talking about all of the technical aspects of the game at E3 I definitely thought it would look much better than it does. I still don't understand what changed from Duscae to make the image quality fall to the levels it is currently at.

I guess I don't understand the humor portion. A lot of humor is just lost on me so I just felt left out on this gold gem.

I hope so, so I can finally put some clothes on poor Cindy. :(

I think we all were surprised about how far the clothing customization actually goes in FFXV, right? They had been very low-key about that. They made it sound like there were different outfits but probably not many and they were still all black and then there was that deal they had with Roen which seemed to be binding. Yet they ran around in some pretty diverse outfits, even customizable with jackets and caps and stuff... There will very likely be more and now I also believe there will be a good amount of costume DLC.

Is it confirmed that we won't be getting a trailer for Gamescom?

After the delay I can see them stretching their promotion out a little more. So, yes, now there will probably be a TGS trailer (which would have been the Gamescom trailer before) and then one final launch trailer in November (which would have been the TGS trailer before). Still holding out for that real Final Fantasy-like epic story trailer. :(

Yes, which is why the technical issues shown and described are more terrifying than usual.

I mean, I'm not so worried now that they have two more months + whatever they were working on for the original day 1 patch... but still. Yikes.
 
They said there was gonna be a massive day 1 patch though.

Obviously, but the master version was the version those who don't have internet access would have played at launch, and from the impressions, it would have been a nightmare to play, due to gamebreaking technical issues.
 
Got through the first 5 minutes until they got to the vehicle service station and the female mechanic in the ridiculous skimpy outfit.

Closed it right there.

Are we still doing this in 2016? Jesus.

No thanks.

Hence the delay.

Writing off a 40+ hour game because of a single character design you don't like? Yeah, baffles me too.
