In before Kagari enters and tells everyone she doesn't care because too busy with ARR!

Btw I like the good impressions, I didn't expect much of them tbh but maybe this time S-E made a FF that can appeal to a larger audience?
edit.
I hope it's good ^^

You'll fly inside a luxury car and you will like it!

I'm actually playing World of Final Fantasy right now. And it's not ARR anymore... it's Heavensward, soon to be Stormblood.
The car does transform into an airship, but I don't think it can change into a Gundam.
I get that, but look at the way the UI moves. It's weirder than just someone filming the off-screen footage.

A couple questions based on what I'm reading:
1.) There will be more party members than just your core group? Or will those just be storyline related moments where they are added.
2.) Is the opening of this game just a big, meandering world where you can just screw around, or is that big world germane to the proper story?
3.) Is there any way to turn down the amount of in-combat/in-world dialog? I'm not keen to do so, but the writing was questionable, but far worse, the pacing seemed really off. People were stumbling over each other to get their lines out in ways that didn't make sense.

Man if you look at vegetation below in that clip. We already know it's going to look 100% better than that.

How old is that clip anyway gamescom?
1) You get guest members, like in FFXII. The one you saw was most likely Cor.
2) It's the world you explore for the game itself, it's just open.
3) Some of the battle dialog is random quips and whatnot, so sometimes it comes off a little clumsy. But, I highly doubt you can turn it off because that's how a lot of the story will be told, through them talking to each other as you explore.

Just saw some parts for the polygon video. Even though they have GREATLY improved the performance and other technical side of things, the final build of the Titan battle is still not good in my eyes - from a gameplay perspective.
This combat looks like a flashier version of dragon age combat lol

I've lived through one recent game with great first-few-hour impressions, but it's still good to hear the that at least that much of the game is solid already.
1. No. Think of it like Kingdom Heart's party system where you get guests depending on the story moment. But you'll always have just Noctis, Prompto, Gladio, and Ignis. The main theme is the brotherhood between these 4 dudes.
2. Sort of a yes and no. The whole world isn't open for you from the start. The first chunk is big but it's only a small part and you can't access more of it until you progress through the story.
3. No.

It's literally the most action-packed combat the series has ever seen. How is that boring?
Well the open world where you fight looks boring as well as the actual combat doesn't look challenging at all.

on #3 question, I think I saw an option to turn off the volume of the voices,
you could go all old school FF and turn of the voice and just leave the text on I guess.
Or switch it to a different language?
At least there's a JP version now. For me personally I like it now.

Thanks for the reply.
This one worries me. As someone who pretty much loved Xenoblade Chronicles, seeing FFXV in action finally sold me on it as such. Xenoblade is chock-full of battle dialog, which admittedly can grate on you (IT'S REYN TIME!), but it still felt well-paced. The Polygon demo, while not all the time, had A LOT of moments where it just felt like the lines would have been fine if they had only waited a half a second longer before delivering a response (In and out of combat). Made it feel really unnatural.
It's really the only thing that has me worried I guess, so maybe that's ok. I just worry about how that ends up feeling if you're playing the game for 40 hours.
Is switching to a different language actually going to be an option for the dialog?

I do not understand Japanese and get no pleasure out of hearing people talking in a language I can not understand, so that doesn't help me sadly, but it is great for people who like having the option to change languages.

I guess it comes down to simple preference but I refuse to play this in anything other than Japanese.
I was always there, in the first wagon on the hype train, ever since 10 years ago.
Hell, I was riding the engine like a mechanical bull. My hype has never faltered. Every time I saw the game my hype went higher and higher.
Previews and early impressions being overwhelmingly positive has only increased my anxiety for playing the game.
Versus XIII was my most anticipated video game since 2006. No other game could take its spot, not even my personal favorites like Metal Gear Solid 4 or the Uncharted franchise, not even The Last of Us.
And now we're almost there.
Almost there.

I'm with you Ishida
I like it in an exploration sense, but fighting in it looks boring most of the time. It's hard to explain. lol

lol, yeah he did, but , well he just goof allover and he loves sticking to the walls even though he has an open world around him.
Almost as is he's trying to point out the flaws in the camera, Idk.
In case anyone cares, we've got some HQ videos from the first few hours of the game. Nothing exciting in terms of content, but quality should be the best for this game yet

(Also our podcast with our impressions from these few hours)

OMG, THANKS a million!
Not sure what you're asking,
read the article, he gives his impressions there no?
If you're basing anything combat related on that Polygon video, forget that like it's the platinum demo. It's like that guy went out of his way to avoid any kind of smoothness or sense of timing. It was actually brutal to watch.
