[Hibiki Kurosawa]

That's when I knew I had to resort to Japanese VA

I love my English localizations, but there's not much to love from what I heard so far lol.

Yeah, same. I usually deal with English localizations fine when they aren't too good sounding, but I need to go JP for this. The banter was just weird.

How do we know which shot in the press kit is PS4? http://press.na.square-enix.com/products/768p251/tech-demo-vol1

They all look blurry in the latest set.

The stuff from today isn't PS4 but everything until now has been based on what they've covered in magazines/where the screens show up first.

Hmmmm, a bit more optimistic now for the ps4 demo IQ.

I know the North American press saw the PS4 version live. I'll try and ask and see if anyone knows.

Looks like 720p, probably XB1 version.

PS4 screens are pretty crisp.

Anyone knows if the Demo will be a Disc or a code to apply on PSN to download it?

My CE will take at least 2 weeks to arrive at my home, and i'm so excited to play the demo >_<, so would be cool to know, so maybe I can buy the code while my CE arrives =/

Cool, thanks. Only 1.5 more weeks anyway so we'll find out pretty soon regardless.

Well... Blame Famitsu.

 

[Deleted member 20920]

Y'ALL ARE RUINING SE'S MARKETING PLAN.

Famitsu is the one who spoilt it! It's just giving us the scoop that we've all been waiting for, for the past few years. HERE'S A SPOILER SCOOP FOR Y'ALL!

 

[Seven Force]

Y'ALL ARE RUINING SE'S MARKETING PLAN.

Not my fault famitsu got a decent scoop for once.

Edit: Oh hey, I got beaten to that joke already.

 

[Kagari]

It's not so much scoop as it's... SE specifically told press not to mention it LOL.

 

[BocoDragon]

Let's not be too hasty. Originally they were going ffviii over world style...honestly don't want to see an ff with sectioned off areas like X or XIII.

With you 100%. The "corridor tube" design of X and XIII has been the worst thing in the entire series.

 

[Deleted member 20920]

It's not so much scoop as it's... SE specifically told press not to mention it LOL.

Hence the EXCLUSIVE SCOOP part Famitsu actually telling us things that they aren't supposed to. My impressions of them is that they tend to come off as being quite clinical and never have questions and answers that sound like they've gone through the game dev's PR machine.

 

[orochi91]

That was the scoop? That was the reveal?

Fuck that, I was expecting Lightning as a summon.

Hope she comes as a DLC summon or something :/

Any new PS4 screens then or is it all xbone stuff?

Wired preview compares it to Dark Souls

Overall, it feels closer to Dark Souls than anything. You'll have to learn attack patterns, keep your guard up and retaliate when an opening presents itself. Another similarity -- and a huge departure for the series -- is that experience points are earned after defeating each individual opponent, but it's not until you reach a campsite to rest that they're applied to the team, levelling them up and unlocking their potential. Like Dark Souls, it becomes a risk versus reward proposition, with more powerful enemies coming out at night.

Taken as a whole, Episode Duscae is a very promising example of what Final Fantasy XV will offer. It displays a raw ambition the series has been lacking in recent years -- the sheer size of the Behemoth and the staggering battle against it alone is evidence of that. Admittedly, with the final version of the game still undated for release, much could change, and in the case of the lacklustre camera in battles, we hope it does. Any modifications aren't likely to be wholesale revisions at this point though, and based on what's explored here, the game is likely to be the shot in the arm Final Fantasy has needed.

 

[BocoDragon]

Final Fantasy XV is the Citizen Kane of the Dark Souls of jRPGs.

 

[Turin]

Well, regardless of how it compares to Dark Souls, it's not like I'm expecting this to be the best Final Fantasy since the 90's.

I do think it'll be the best since the 00's.

You! No..... NO! Such thinking does no good for ANYBODY.

 

[Dark_castle]

I really think they should tone down enemy's HP. They currently take a little too many hits to die, especially the robot soldiers, which shouldn't be the case for regular mobs. In exchange, raise their damage output and perhaps more intelligent combat A.I.

Yeah, fights look like they take a bit too long right now.

 

[threelights]

Oh man, just watched that Famitsu video.

The best one so far imo. The Behemoth fight was pretty good and the dungeon part seemed really fun.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I like what I am reading about the party AI

Another instance saw a massive Garula bull about to slam its elephantine feet down on my skull and squash me out of existence. When it was just inches from my head, Prompto fired a bullet into the beast loaded with Stop magic – it instantly froze in place and allowed me to dodge out the way and finish it off.

Ugh. I'm torn. I want to watch it but we're so close I don't want to spoil the contents of the dungeon or the actual behemoth fight.

I would usually say "nah, go ahead".

But they spoil the gameplay super hard on that video.

The Behemoth parry will be quite something though. I'll say that for free.

 

[Lakitu]

It's looking great to me but there's one distinct problem to me. NPCs keep on walking into the main character, even when he's standing still. By NPCs, in this case, it's your group of friends. It really breaks immersion, when you're standing still, why can't they? It's the same in DA: I too. It really annoys me for some reason. Please stay still.

Oh damn. Gonna have to get good at parrying, I'm terrible at it in Demon's Souls/Dark Souls.

on his/her feeling?

 

[threelights]

The window here seems pretty generous. Parries in this game seem to be more about a way to stop you from just holding Guard forever and actually pay attention.

The Souls series nailed the concept of Parry/Riposte though, it's so good.

If it plays anything like dark souls, it'll be a legit goat contender!
