I dunno, maybe a little yeah, but I'm on the (unpopular) opinion that JP voicework always seems forced or overdone, so the EN voices are like the lesser evil.

most jarring moment for me was J-pop Italian New Yorker:
"RIGHT PRINCE NOCTIS? Name's Dino by the way!"
As odd as that voice may seem it does suit him well imo.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Bruh you seriously need to visit a gym, it's not gravity defying that's just how nice and form fitting man butts can be in sports gear.
Yea like I said, gyms, I've seen even more form fitting shorts on dudes at gyms.
It's still really neat how much better that model looks. Like whole new textures and everything. Tabata's getting no sleep.most jarring moment for me was J-pop Italian New Yorker:

I'm not sure which is more wrong, that it's bad, or that it resembles Xenoblade at all.

Yeah, I agree. The voices are fine to me because they sound like real people. While there are many accents, that's to be expected of English if they are planning a wide variety of characters and NPCs. While some accents may seem exaggerated, there's videos of anyone with any type of accent as their normal voice.
Besides, compare this to Final Fantasy Spirits Within, and there's not that much difference in delivery either if are talking about that and not the accents. There were some kind of corny scenes in Spirits Within, and Spirits Within all used well known names from the Western TV and movie industry. How about FF13? FF13 used a lot of well liked and well known VAs but most people still don't like the story or the script.
People can like either English or Japanese but it's silly to say English voices are bad when they perfectly sound like normal people to me.
There are many voices and many accents out there for real people. Sure there may be some a bit that seems extreme but sometimes it's not unusual. In either case, whether it's a VA doing a voice or accent or not, as long as it sounds something you can hear from a normal person, I'm fine with it.
As for whether the VAs can do the job on FFXV? Well, they show emotion when the script calls for it. They sound like they are having regular conversations. They sound like real people.
Some people complain about how a character's design looks unrealistic (for example) but people complain about voices but the voices sound normal to me and that's what matters. I can understand people complaining about accents or something else about the voices but there are so many different types of voices people have. Even in specific regions, there may be people with wide variety of voices.
People may not like the script or the personalities but I find the voices to be fine. They aren't much different from any other English related media. People can like Japanese over English but I think arguments for English voice quality should be compared to other types of English voices and delivery rather than English compared to Japanese.
The VA for Jim Raynor (from StarCraft) is actually using his regular voice. For Deus Ex Human Revolution, Adam Jensen's VA is also using his regular voice. I mention those two VAs because they have distinct and unusual voices but those are their natural voices. For FFXV, these VAs are doing a voice for most of the characters but I can really hear these voices in real life just the same, so I find them fine.
Queue the women in the gaming world: "For you, the day a man was graced with an unrealistically protruding ass was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday."
I feel like between the comparison shots of Dino and Cindy and how the black/shadowed around the eye area has been generally cleaned up it's probably transferring to the dev team

You would think after waiting all these years that a month and a half-ish is nothing, but damn the anticipation is killing me.
Gladio certainly has a conventionally attractive, well-built body that most guys wouldn't be able to achieve, but I don't like that he's just showing off like that. I mean, who runs around in broad daylight just wearing a jacket exposing your chest and abs, regardless how they look? SE's official response to that is that his attire is his battle armor or something. It's laughable. Just admit you want to please the fujoshi crowd.
His Versus XIII design is far superior in comparison.
Then again, we can switch outfits in the game, so this is tad less of an issue.
What?.. no! Why would you want no tattoo and abs?
Er... Is this the list of all summons in game?
Did they just spoiled the full list?
I don't think so,
Carbuncle and Knights of the Round aren't there. I think it's more of a lore note about the gods in Eos. It would be disappointing, but it's even possible we won't get all of these as summons, even if we do encounter all of them.
What surprised me, and maybe that's super old news, is that Archean is specifically Titan's title, it's not a generic way to talk about summons. So that dialogue with Ardyn probably precedes the Titan questline.

Looks good but the game seems boring to me. I will consider picking this up later after hearing about reviews.
WTF haha.

TGS and retail are the same pic.
Yup! In the new TGS trailer where he mentions his name you can see they are in a lava area which is near Titan.

Yes a real improvement. The base version is looking good now. As a complete package, it is certainly impressive visually. I am really interested to see how the PSPro version looks...I would like better LoD, IQ and draw distance.

Looking at this I think this is the order you will encounter them as well. We know that Titan will be first and can presume that

I'll be honest, I was very skeptical about the graphics of this game after the platinum demo, and rightfully so in my opinion; however, I'll give Square Enix the credit they deserve. They really go this game into shape, visually. Can't wait until it's release. Good thing Skyrim and Battlefield will help distract.
EDIT: Do you guys think S-E would go as far as making that Crownsguard outfit dialogue only appear if they're all wearing the default costumes? I was thinking about changing some of their outfits straight away, but now I feel like I'm gonna play for a couple of hours with everyone on default just to make sure I get this dialogue.
Was thinking about Default no jacket for Noctis, default Gladio, casual no jacket Prompto and casual/default no jacket Ignis.
Oh, another thing that I just thought about now, even though it should be fairly obvious: 45 minutes, without a bunch of cuts like we had in the previous 50 minutes of footage, and they're already leaving Galdin Quay. The main quest alone is supposed to last around 40 hours.
This game will be huge.
LMAO

Tabata's ready to accept his GOTY awards.

The worst part about this, is that this isn't Cor.

100% Agree.
That said, this overall 45mins of gameplay has totally sold me on the game. I'm honestly blown away. Looks really fun, and I can't wait to see the PS4 Pro upgrades.

The amount of progress this game has made is undeniably impressive. I've never played a FF before, so this might be a good first foray.
That said, I cannot get over how stupid Cindy's design is. Bordering on Quiet levels of character design idiocy.

His Versus XIII design is far superior in comparison.
The current design is from Versus too, though
Everyone was redesigned from that CGI to the 2011 trailer.

Square has secured $60 from me! Unless this reviews beyond terrible! But even then... I might still bite!

Wow they have improved the game dramatically. This delay has been worth it. Glad they have been able to wrinkle out a lot of the annoying things people had with the previous build.

I wonder if square will let him do it tho. He seems hell bent on the pc version not just being a simple port
It'll happen. And a year from now is perfect because you'll be getting more people double dipping than you would if it was closer to the console launch. It's not like it's going to take the whole development team, either. It'll be totally worth the investment.
I'm curious what they're going to do with the VR, too.

I kinda liked the prompto thing as silly as it was, add driving the regalia in car form and airship.
I would have been OK with that being it, just for the sake of seeing the world in VR, but I'd like to see something a little more serious.
But, I especially want to see driving and flying. I don't know if they're planning to charge for VR (I know they weren't going to charge for the Prompto one, but that's because you could see in Tabata's face that it was an uninspired tech demo), but I'd pay a good $9.99 just to be able to fly around freely with the world strapped to my face.
So the background music during exploration, which is way too low volume-wise, is interrupted by the alarm jingle when enemies are near, then by the battle music, also by the being in the menu, and by dynamic events like the huge bird flying above your heads, and all of this without even resuming afterwards. When are we supposed to hear it then? When we stand still?

Would gladly double dip (even if it is a simple port).
Hopefully the DLC comes with the PC version like XIII-2 and LR.
Anyways, I'm excited to get the PS4 version - hopefully the footage in OP is of the OG PS4. Doesnt say that in the video or at the Polygon source
.DLCs though.
Civ VI will have a long string of DLC if Civ V and XCOM are any indication.
