Final Fantasy XV TGS 2016 Trailer

No, they just want Stella.


I've watched the trailer and I've been keeping my Luna opinion to myself up until this moment. From a woman's point of view, here are my two cents about her.

Do I think Luna is weak? No, but I don't think they're properly highlighting the traits that make her an independent or a strong character, especially in Kingsglaive, but even then you can see signs of her not being your average spoiled princess. She has a role, a duty, and a purpose to exist for and she knows that very well.

She might not have the fighting ability that Noctis has but so far I've seen her show more emotional strength and determination than Noctis ever did. She surpasses Noctis in being emotionally independent and aware of what she must do in order to save the world and prevent it from falling in an everlasting darkness, while Noctis is literally just moping around having no idea what to do to the point where even Gladio calls him out on it and actually calling him "useless" despite his powers and abilities. As opposed to Noctis, Luna is actually loved and respected by the public as an Oracle. If anything, the footage I've seen so far paints Noctis as the spoiled prince, not Luna who has seen far more shit than Noctis ever did.

Her emotions and feelings towards Noctis doesn't make her weak and I find the notion of that is ridiculous, as being strong doesn't mean being immune to love and care for someone for a long time (especially someone who she kept contact with during her captivity, its only natural she'd develop such feelings for him). Also, we haven't really seen her interact with Noctis, so we don't know if she acts like a doormat around him.

As for Luna being slapped or being abused since childhood, the very fact that she still held her ground despite all of that shows a great deal of strength to me. The thing is, there are a lot of ways a character can be strong and Luna displays more of an emotional strength and independent mindset than your typical kind of strength that a character like Lightening shows for instance. Even Aqua, the character people praise for being strong, had her fair share of weakness and was almost impaled by Ventis but that didn't make her a weak character because that's not what classifies a character as weak.

What I am trying to say, is that she isn't another "Princess Peach", she isn't there to be a trophy to Noctis. She is a respected Oracle with a very important task of holding back the Plague of the Stars, who bravely stood her ground against Leviathan and the Niflheim.

The game isn't out yet, she might end up a very underwhelming character or she might actually surprise everyone, but saying she is weak based on few incidents while ignoring other things is not fair.

Nice post but this is better suited in the other FFXV thread tbh.

Because talking about video game farting is more important here? ;p

My view is based on the trailer, I am not off topic here.

He didn't say you were off-topic. He's saying your post would fit int he threat that's exactly about what your post is about.

The discussion about Luna being weak started in this thread, I think this post is fine where it is.

It's now in it's own thread, where it should stay. Because topics like that will end up being nothing but a distraction here.
 
So does this basically mean that 4chan leak was completely accurate? The time skip was right, Adryn seems right, I didn't want that leak to be true, but it really looks like it was

not really, since that supposed rumor, and other subsequent rumours only got somethings right while others seem pretty false as well

Yeah, the first rumor is the one that was basically painting everything in a negative light, while the second one said that SOME of the things the first leaker said was right, while other things were wrong.

Anybody wondering who the leaker could actually be? Must be at some important position to not only know about the story, but to know about he gameplay and programming aspects. Whoever it is, Square(or whom is employing this individual) should crack down and root 'em out. If not just for what they did, but for what potential threat they are for future projects.
 
After watching the Gamersyde version of the trailer... Yeah, if this is the Pro version, all of the impressions are bullshit. It's really not that good at all.

Vanilla PS4 for sure.
 
Wow after all this time it's odd to say this but I'm actually burned out on talking about FFXV. Just let me fast forward to the release day, please no more delays

I'm tired of speculating the dynamism of characters we feel like we know but can't accurately state yet. Couple months and weeks away, optimize strong Tabata Crew

There aren't many questions left that I want answered before playing the game at this point. Besides high res direct feed Pro footage.

What am i gonna do with my work days?
 
Trailer seemed pretty good to me. There's a distinct scenario set up here that hints at a lot of possibilities in the way it could go and towards the end I was thinking about all the places you might be able to go. I hadn't really gotten the sense of what the hell this game was until now.

I hope the world has some thought put into it. Good design and a bit of personality, not just big for the sake of being big and loaded with sidequests.

Looking forward to playing it whenevr I get a PS4.
 
Don't know if this was post here here TGS footage : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8BAV73r9KA

Game play look good, funny to see the party get destroy by a mini boss. Don't look like Pro version, i can't comment on that.

Edit : Just saw couple of change, enemies seem to have much higher level then previous video, difficulty setting or game balancing ?

I hope it plays out with all the drama of Aeriths death
 
Hm. Reading through the thread there seems to be a bit of obsession going on with Luna getting slapped in that millisecond clip from the trailer...Why?

Its just an akward moment in the trailer, with the hopeful music playing and the overtly transparent villain mannerisms of the main badguy
 
How come no one told me about rhe 45 min stream of that took place after tgs, anymore runs like that.

Lol at ignis clipping on the upper wall right before the spider lady fight.
 
Watching the trailer many times I noticed that there's only one scene in which Noctis is wearing the royal ring. I think they're only showing the first half of the game.

So Ben Moore of Easy Allies mentioned the demo he played both looked much improved and ran well. So that's good to gear.
Click to expand...

That's a great sign. I remember him talking about how it had a lot of issues at other events. Good to see the delay is helping.

Went ahead and checked his twitter, the demo stations at TGS are running the standard PS4 version. Thats good.
 
Didn't Naughty Dog mention that delaying The Last of Us was the key to making it look and feel as good as it did thanks to optimization? I can't seem to find the quote but I remember Neil saying something akin to the last few weeks of development being where the game went from looking good, to looking great.

impression from gamewatch

-when they first saw the screen, they thought "wow it's very clean!"
-they were disappointed in FFXV's visual recently especially the gamescom demo, but Pro version was "this was what I was expecting from FFXV visuals"
-the vividness and texture quality looked superb, with very stable framerate.
-The green field area especially looks completely different from before

At this point they could still provide all of these improvements in the day 1 patch for the original release date, but Tabata made the right call in keeping it all on the disc. I'm wondering what the addition 2 months after September 30th will do if those drastic LOD improvements in the new shots have already been implemented.

Looks great, so the trailer we got PS4 footage?

4K tv and Pro pre-order justified.

Nuh, Without being convoluted it would be a pretty uninteresting game to me(If you exclude Shimomura and the battle system).
So it managed to get unique by obscurity, not unnecessarily.

You didn't explain what makes Aqua well, a good character? What sets her apart from Lightning? I'm curious to know.
 
I'm going to have to buy a PS4 Pro for this damn game, aren't I?

It still blows my mind how little actual gameplay they show in the trailers. It's always just "Here's the characters walking/running/flying/floating through environments!"

I wish 1080p sets had HDR :/
