I hear Batman.

So the battle grunts remain and only cutscene/interaction noctis changed perhaps?

 

[Falk]

I hear Batman.

Don't think they replaced the battle dialogue.

I did a dragoon jump and the game crashed lol

oh man

incoming patch for a patch of a demo?

 

[DNAbro]

he still sounds the same in cutscenes.

EDIT: from what i remember

 

[copelandmaster]

I'm watching Jason's stream.

Noctis sounds exactly the same in the opening dialogue.

Honestly, the Batman has grown on me.

 

[Socivol]

In new scenes he sounds differently. I went off with just Gladio and they both have new dialogue and he sounds differently. The weird thing is the camping scenes are not voices you can see they are moving their lips but they don't say anything.

 

[wmlk]

Don't think they replaced the battle dialogue.

I still hear Batman everywhere.

Maybe it's a small difference.

Ah, appreciated; watching KHI right now, some fine new animations here and there. I can't quite see new visual improvements though since Twitch streams are always so ugly..

Blame SE for releasing this during the work day!

Maybe they want to push people's productivity so they can get home faster and play it

 

[benzy]

it kinda feels like it when I make gifs. I don't intend to speed them up, and I put 30fps which is same as the video. But for some reason gif seems faster.

Are you using Virtuadub to get the image sequence?

 

[BossDarkseid]

I still hear Batman everywhere.

Alot of people seem to think Noctis sounds close to TDKR style Batman....

>_> He really doesn't.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Why is this 3 GB?

Ugh....still waiting.

 

[raven777]

Jump lance attack motion seems changed? or was it always like this?

I just use share feature from PS4 to get the video, and make gif with instagiffer

 

[Chaserjoey]

Combat is faster. I was able to charge an attack to deal more damage, and the camera is way fast.
Couldn't get the lake monsters to fight me lol.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Jump lance attack motion seems changed? or was it always like this?

Nah, thats way different

 

[Falk]

Watching the tent cutscene - sounds the same to me too.

 

[Digital-Hero]

I'm at work right now. (No FFXV demo in the breakroom even though we have a PS4)

How is the performance in 2.0. Has there been any improvement there?

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Jump lance attack motion seems changed? or was it always like this?

It changed definitely I remember it was just a small thrust forward

 

[raven777]

the frame-rate is still horrible near the edge of the field.

 

[TalentBurke]

Is the camera more zoomed out? I'm downloading the update now.

 

[benzy]

Ah, I use virtuadub and adobe imageready so it's a bit different.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

I haven't played this yet but am I correct in thinking they haven't added magic yet?

 

[copelandmaster]

Jump lance attack motion seems changed? or was it always like this?

Yes this isn't new, I have the 1.0 demo open right now. Canceled my download.

EDIT: actually it is a new animation (more crazy legs), but the attack itself is basically the same.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Downloading now. I'll probably still stick to Japanese voices if they allow me in the final version, but will be checking out the English voice "change" of Noctis for myself. To the people who think it's different, what is it comparable to now?

 

[BossDarkseid]

I haven't played this yet but am I correct in thinking they haven't added magic yet?

Correct.

I think they said they're doing another demo based on TGS 2014 that will have magic but tbh I don't know if i've imagined it.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

I haven't played this yet but am I correct in thinking they haven't added magic yet?

Yup and it was never going to be added in the first place =]

Edit: BossDarkseid they had plans for it but I doubt they gonna release that now with marketing starting in august.

 

[raven777]

Yes this isn't new, I have the 1.0 demo open right now. Canceled my download.

It's also multiple hits now. I remember it being a single hit.

 

[DNAbro]

Correct.

i'm pretty sure you imagined it.



Also yeah whoever said Noctis's voice changed was wrong. sounds the same.

 

[Chaserjoey]

Playing the tutorial battle now AND HOLY CRAP, BACKFLIPS, EXPLOSIONS, FASTER COMBAT. this is insane!!!

 

[Socivol]

The combo system is interesting in how the chain the moves together. I missed several times at first.

 

[Geg]

No they definitely said that at one point; they want to have a smaller tech demo available for people who couldn't get Duscae. Hasn't been mentioned in a while though

 

[Cleve]

Holy shit, I didn't expect the game to get so many changes. I figured it was going to just get pushed out with a deal with it attitude and a "international" release a year or two later.

 

[raven777]

no more stupid green particles when you auto-dodge (it now has same blue particles as the warp, and is a lot less excessive)

 

[Icyflamez96]

There are some info on changes to 2.0 here

Dat nose.

Noctis is all

PROMPTO LOOK BEHIND YOU

Prompto: wat?

Ha! This is perfect.

OT| FF stands for Fan Feedback.

Seems legit.

 

[stargateheaven]

i just camped and the food is still a picture. I thought they updated that?

 

[Socivol]

The characters that you don't take when you split up give you items but don't get any EXP

 

[DarkLordMalik]

The characters that you don't take when you split up give you items but don't get any EXP

This was expected. Happens in every game.

 

[SPAW]

damn, with all these changes I really want to try it out, but I am stuck in Geneva until Sunday.... WHY!

 

[Kintaro]

lol no. They would have mentioned that.

Bummer. I kind of stopped paying attention to this. Here's hoping for 3.0. =P

 

[Dark_castle]

Really enjoying the combat now, with the addition of a manual dodge roll.

 

[Icyflamez96]

All the aerial stuff I've seen looks so stiff. How is it in battle?

Too bad there's no way for me to get my hands on it myself.

 

[Geg]

So what's the consensus, is Noctis's voice different or not?

 

[copelandmaster]

Seems to be new content only.

 

[stargateheaven]

I'm streaming now btw. http://www.twitch.tv/akibaweekly

I may start from the beginning if people request.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Time for NG 2.0

 

[copelandmaster]

i just camped and the food is still a picture. I thought they updated that?

The footage from the tech demo video was probably just a test environment, it might not actually be ready for prime time.

 

[LouisaFerre]

Now that they added a manual dodge roll I think they should probably make the guard stance harder to use. I wouldnt mind it using more MP but I think parrying in particular should work differently. I'd like it if they removed the button prompt and put more of an emphasis on timing.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Here are some quick gifs of new motions I made.

That mid combo backflip is too smooth. Lookin like Lightning

You couldn't do that in the previous version right? What triggers it?

They sorta did.

Press L1 as just before getting hit for no MP cost.

 

[Socivol]

Some of the camping footage is in the game but it's oddly not voiced. I don't think anything with food is new though at least I haven't seen anything yet.

 

[AuthenticM]

Noctis' voice is exactly the same. What are y'all smoking ?
