lol I suck at these
Plus they said they're going to add extra stuff. Whatever that means though.
Just download from the SE press site.
go to video tab

Some captures from that vid.
These are not screens from an uncompressed video. They are much too blurry. The current console build is rather jaggy than blurred like that. The UI isn't sharp either...
Square Enix are not able to take decent quality screenshots and they can't even provide a decent quality direct feed video... *sigh* And why is that thing still 8gb huge? XD

This needs to be the one. I can't stop laughing.
I just assume that means stuff they normally wouldn't have added to the day1 patch like extra smaller fixes as well as tweaking things for a NEO mode.
Edit: I'm looking at the "uncompressed" (but oddly still compressed) video now (mine dl'd without sound though
) I noticed something while trying to find stuff to compare the lighting a bit better... I noticed that all the afternoon moments are on xbox one, and that when there are a lot of enemies around it seems like the game disables shadows. its super weird though and doesn't happen all the time, but there are times where ground shadows from the party are just straight up not there.GreenMakoEyes

to me it seem the lightning in Episode Duscae is way better/more beautiful than the lightning in this Master Vers... but I hope I am wrong.
No, you are unfortunately not wrong. There are still some people in here that claim it is the exact same lightning but it is really not. They said in a conference not long ago that they had disabled global illumination just partly, but it seems they've in fact disabled it alltogether. Everything looks way lighter and flatter. Less plasticity is especially noticable on the character models and their skin.

What a shame. So there's still hope for a beautiful NEO Vers.
Isn't the game just like this at this point?

I kinda doubt even the inevitable PC version will look like that unless SE will rework a lot of stuff.
No promise of an interview at this stage, no.
a lot of stuff that the game and engine already has, has been taken out to allow for console 30fps. If an inevitable pc version happens, then I would expect a lot of that stuff to come back, along with better AA.

Final Fantasy XV |OT| Nomura's Fantasy Based On Tabata's Reality
I like that one, but shouldn't it be
Tabata's Reality, Based on Nomura's Fantasy??

Yes. Can't believe I got it backwards, lol.
Unless the game is critically panned, that won't happen though.
Even NMS opened to record sales after years of hype. FFXV will easily open to millions but its legs will depend on WOM/Critical reception. The general public won't care about IQ and performance issues if NMS and Witcher 3 is anything to go by.

After seeing the footage...it does seem like it. What a shame and what a hatchet job to get it to release. I think visually the game has a lot of promise, but in the end it just looks so rough that it is difficult to give full credit to its stengths. Modelling and effects look great, but textures are often weak, mainly exacerbated by severe pop in, lighting seems to have been downgraded (!), which probably accounts for improved performance. if that is their optimisation, then this engine really is a shambles.

I would not be surprised if they took the compressed video they captured, and then saved it again uncompressed = huge file size and no benefits.
¯\_(ツ
_/¯People are using the term uncompressed incorrectly here.
8-bit @ 1920x1080 @ 29.97 fps = 119 MB/s, or 417 GB/h
52 minutes of uncompressed video would be 360GB+
No one in their right mind distributes uncompressed video (or even captures uncompressed video, most of the time)
Press encode or distribution-ready encode is probably the word you're looking for - encoded at typically higher bitrates than e.g. YouTube etc. streams.

Fair enough.

OT should be Fantasy Versus Reality

Yeah, I stand corrected.
Anyway, I don't think the video is as good to evaluate texture detail, etc. as an uncompressed screenshot would be, but it's good enough you can still see the IQ has a lot of problems.

This is good.

Okay, I have given the 52 minutes footage fair shake now...and actually I am relatively pleased. I think it actually looks in general slightly better than the Duscae demo. Lighting may have taken a hit, but IQ and AA are certainly better. Visually I think it is a really weird mix. In some ways it looks impressive to me, especially the scale and variety of the world, but it also seems to suffer from high pop in and some bare bones details. I think it has some higher highs than say Witcher 3, but isnt as consistent. Otherwise, I am liking the content of the footage itself. The game is looking slick, the creatures look elaborate and interesting, and the story seems intriguing. I am excited.

Graphically Neo will save Us!!!
Our Neo who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Your release date come,
FFXV graphics will be done,
on earth as it is in PC heaven.
Give us on 7th sept our release date,
and forgo us a $599 price point,
as we also already suffered under PS3's price,
And lead us not into 4K temptation,
but deliver us from poor framerate and image quality hell.

I think at this point I want the Neo to come out very soon just so I DON'T have to hear "save us Neo!!!"
It does get tiring lol
It's only going to get worse if we deal with a new console every two years because then people are going to immediately jump to the next console to save them when it still comes down to competent development and engines. FFXV's animations and other tech features are amazing. But we have already seen games that push much, much more out of the original PS4 while holding a near solid 30fps. This engine has already in the past shown to be causing issues over at SE.

Random bits from the first hours of the game.

It's many hours (3 chapters) edited to fit 50 minutes.
Maybe this?

There wasn't even much story in the first 3 chapters so imagine the game when the story picks up.
Yes and they demo'd it twice. Once with a GTX680 and another with a Titan
I'm pretty sure a lot of scenes were cut or shortened as well for the interest of an already insanely long video
