Yup. Day 1 pro patch is happening.
I thought they went away from the soft image (Episode Duscae) to a more sharp image (Platinum Demo). If they went back to a soft/blurrier image I personally would be glad though. Looked imo nicer:

Wait, did I miss something? I heard them saying generic stuff about "that daemon" but did they specifically mention the bombs?

Lol @ people complaining about combat mechanics based on the first hour of gameplay.

You taking the bet then? Because, like I said, I see all kinds of people making this claim, but no one has bit on the bet yet. I'm feeling pretty confident.
You can even set the terms. If they're reasonable, let's do it.
Such a fun video to watch, specially when the players get annoyed at Ignis for being a partypooper for not wanting to drive at night....then they get crushed on the highway
She's a good player tho, she got an A in Defense vs the Bombs, I've seen most players always score D on defense lol
I feel like the Eurogamer video is better than Polygon's. It captures the freedom of this game a lot better
avatar bet until KH3 comes out?

Platinum demo certainly doesnt have sharp image. Dont know if Duscae was even blurier (never played it), but PD was very rough.

edit: fix'd
My worries are gone... this game looks fantastic. The FF fan in me is excited right now!
Edit: The blizzard left the characters all slightly "frozen"... it would be cool if you do extra damage to fire enemies for a little while, as an elemental buff...
Sounds good. I'll bookmark it!
so if its over 90 you choose the avatar for me, and if it's under 90 i choose the avatar for you, and if it's 90 then we both shrug our shoulders and move on?
also Metacritic score after the game has been out for a week or a month? scores can fluctuate in the first couple days so i want to make sure theres as little wiggle room as possible.
I was just think about about all those same things, lol.
I'd say after 1 month for a stable score, and 90 is a push.
The cleanup of all the hair looks to be worth the delay alone... the original images are so distracting!
But were those original images with or without the previous day-1 patch intended for original release date?
That's probably dynamic

Weird graphical issues on that one.
Not sure what to call those, shadows or reflections.
agreed.
either way i'm very excited to play this game. and this new footage is looking good
Its the technique used for reflections. the reflections are based on what is visible on screen, and since the arms get in the way, you get points of no reflection.
Its not exactly a glitch, more like a side effect of the technique. don't expect that to go away no matter the polish.

Huh. Well, hopefully they avoided situations where that pops up. Definitely not a good look.
"Since the arms get in the way?"
They're like 50 feet from the water and the reflections extend well beyond the water, there's something else going on there.
Yeah. I was actually hoping to bait someone who was more of a jerk, lol. But it'll be all in fun.

C'mon...all my life I've always wanted to know what that would look like irl
Squarenix is killing it.
The reflections are post-processing effects based on the image actually drawn on the screen. That's why you have the parts on the sides with them missing, and in this case, anywhere it would have re-drawn the character models, it blanks it out. They do the same thing in FFXIV, too.
Edit: Didn't realize Mailbox was on it.
in a perfect world ray-tracing would be attainable easily and wouldn't cost so much processing power to implement.
Look again. all corresponding issues with reflection are areas that are blocked by the character bodies. i said arms, but its basically anything blocking the building and spaces that are to be reflected.
"something else" isn't going on.
its also the reason that reflections aren't on the outer right and left of the screen too.
After watching the whole 45 minutes i'm feeling way better now about this game. Sure it still has its problems but overall it's looking really good.
And man the music is just amazing. Shimomura <3
This track for example:

can't wait to hear the full song. If i was the guy playing i would have stood still and listened to it for a while.

If you're talking about Flans, those are confirmed to be in the game with their original Amano designs no less.
It doesn't matter how far away the characters are. Screenspace reflections reflect whats visible on the screen and the arms hide a part of that, so there holes in the reflection. There's nothing that can really be done about that. If you look for it you can see this in a lot of games.

Cindy's boobs are actually solar batteries, and every day she goes home to the orphanage that she runs and replenishes the little children's life force with the energy she gathered from her day of busty mechanic-ing.

A shame the music takes a while to start again, would of thought it will resume from where it left off.

Pretty drastic lighting and texture change:
(Open both images in a new browser tab and click back and forth for the best comparison.)
Now:
Then:
Also better antialiasing on Noctis' hair.
Her reflection on the hood is better in the old shot

We need to start asking Tabata the important questions. Like why does Gladiolus have no mustache

Totally Agree,
and I'd like to add that I believe that FFXV is the true vision of a final fantasy title,
after all the ATB system was only created by the limitation of the nes.
Real time combat is where is at, but let's not forget that FFXV even caters to those who prefer to eat a sandwich while playing by incorporating the infamous wait mode.
The night game play commentary was so hilarious. They really enjoyed their playthrough of this.
ATB wasn't introduced till IV on the SNES. Final Fantasy is whatever the hell they want it to be. Half the series plays differently from each other.
On the combat of FFXV, I feel like the people complaining about depth have never played many action based combat games. Now how you feel about the responsiveness or other issues is another thing. You can just mash A or whatever but it won't lead you to "awesome", just as clearing some encounters by just mashing in Bayonetta won't lead you to Pure Platinum. You can already see the difference of how people play based on skill from Polygon footage, the Eurogamer footage, and the Twitchcon stream.

Hmmm screen space reflections are made after rendering from a 2D image, not the 3D scene, maybe that will help understand it better?
If hands are in front of something above water, it can't reflect that something below the water because the data is missing.

Gamespot just posted another 45 min video but it looks like all the same stuff we have seen in the last few videos. Hammerhead, opening quests, bloodhorn battle, etc.
The Eurogamer video was absolutely hilarious from 43:00 on. It was perfect!
Ridiculing Ignis and not listening to him..."Come on, what can possibly go wrong?"
...them gushing about the soundtrack and then suddenly running into the bombs and getting really cocky until the daemons arrive to completely wreck them. They even had to leave the Regalia behind which they so masterfully fucked up with that horrible paint job before. This was pure comedy gold. XD
Wow, love this. Reminds me of Advent Children.
