Falk where's your review of 2.0 ?

That's my impression too. On some level, Noctis doesn't take being a prince seriously, and his friends pick up on that and run with it, and he likes it because it makes him feel like one of the guys. I imagine Cor will knock some heads over the informality when he's rolling with them.
As I said multiple times, I'm on a business trip out of the country and I don't have access to my PS4... probably for another week or two minimum.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The issue is Ignis seems to take him being prince seriously. He always calls him "highness" which is really weird. I think his character just comes off as condescending, I am unsure if that's the intent or what.

After installing the update should I continue from my save file (did everything when it came out) or should I start over?

In my opinion, a lot of the condescending tone comes from his voice actor. He just has that "I overly enunciate my syllables so I'm better than you" kind of tone

Hmm, it always sounds ironic to me (and yes, somewhat condescending, but in a know-it-all friend kind of way, not an insubordinate-dick kind of way).

Just played a little of this, and I'm definitely liking the improvements. The camera in battle is sooo much better, and the combat feels so smooth. I also really like the unite attacks; I've only done the one with Gladiolus so far but I thought it was pretty cool; I'm looking forward to seeing what the others are like. I didn't have time to find the dinosaur thing tonight, but I definitely plan to look for it tomorrow; hopefully it's not too hard to find.
I forgot how much fun this demo was; the combat just feels great, and the animations all look so natural. I can't wait to play the finished game!!

Man I need that combat analysis

Ignis annoys the hell out of me. His stupid bedazzled gloves, his dumb hair, his dumb voice. What a lame character.

It replaced the teleport dodge.
Which had the same exact function as the dodge roll I think lol
I was actually wondering about this... Did most people just never realize that you had a manual teleport dodge the entire time? Or is this dodge roll really something different?

You have to camp again to trigger the Tour quest with Prompto which is how the dinosaur thing comes out of the lake so you can fight it.

The voice acting in the game seems SO disjointed... like.. it feels like the lines were recorded and copy/pasted together to try to form sentences, but it just feels so awkward. Hopefully it's just due to it being a demo and not how it'll be in the final game. Even XIII has far better VA than this.

It might have some difference. I don't know for sure.
I assume they will both be customizable options in the full game though, and maybe they branch off in terms of what they're useful for when you level them up or something.
It costs no MP.
Additionally from watching streams, I get the initial impression that this manual dodge is a little more clunky and takes a little longer to recover from (I abused the hell out of manual warpdodge in 1.0 to drop Claymore counterattacks on things) but that could very well be placebo.
No idea on invincibility frames in comparison.
edit@above: They pretty much confirmed in ATR 5.0 that there are indeed different moves/movesets that can occupy the same buttons and are options in the main game. Warp dodge was a higher level skill compared to the normal one.
You can't force a counter attack with the dodge roll, so there's already that difference. The teleport dodge probably spent MP though, can't quite remember right now.

I wonder if aerial attacks will become a thing, nothing crazy but a juggle would be nice.

Dang this game might be pretty deep tbh

The performance was definitely improved, at least in the PS4 version.

Or if they're not voiced, just make them stop and let me advance the dialogue at my own pace.
I personally didn't have problems reading any of the non-spoken dialogue. But damn, that is a thing that irritates me. Only auto-skip stuff when you have voice acting!

I'm still not convinced the framerate was improved. I had a ton of drops in some of the areas by the gas station. It didn't give a good first impression when I was sub 30fps as soon as my game loaded. It feels like the fps drops a lot when there's a lot of enemies on screen too which happens often due to those soldiers that drop-down so often.

Jumping into the demo now at www.twitch.tv/thelevelupshow if anyone wants to join me.
That works too!!
Try camping three times, if that doesn't work, go to camp in the upper-right part of the map.

The framerate is not ideal yet, but just from moving the camera I got this feeling that the performance is better than v.1.0.

I'm pretty sure aerial combat is something they are going to implement, but, much like magic, wasn't something ready to be implemented into the demo.

That green
And you just know if he leaves Noctis alone, Noct will just sleep there in the bushes.
Yeah right.Business trip..
Business = FFXV related work = Falk is already way ahead of us.

I do wonder if they went to Roen and said "Hey is it ok if we tone down the red in the sole?"
I know. I wonder if Roen green lit the decision or maybe Roen changed the design of the shoes?

Tried the demo 2.0 out, aside from the performance which scares me a bit to be perfectly honest, the game is much improved. Best part is the camera which now controls well and gives a better a view of the battlefield. The actual combat has a much smoother flow to it now and gels well with the new chain attacks. Never noticed before but the other members use special attacks that get displayed next to their name. Like Prompto using Bullet Parade or some like that. Love the new movesets, looks cool and the greatsword charge up looks funky when Noct starts glowing. Overall, mechanics are coming together nicely and this is without magic and team tactics.
Can't wait ^_^
