Yeah I think the combat still looks iffy, but I have no fear it'll be enjoyable "enough" (for me) even if it does leave something to be desired.
Isn't there supposed to be something like the gambit system from FFXII? I haven't heard it talked about much I don't think, but I don't follow all of the info to a tee either.
I really hope so, maybe around the Pro's launch period, but keep in mind that Square Enix has zero interest in sending the message that the XB1 and PS4 versions are inferior even if they are because that's where they're going to make their money, just like no publisher is going to push the PC version of their multiplatform games separately to highlight the differences, actually they want to sell the PC version as if it was the console one, but that's an other issue
Don't think that's the case in Microsoft's case. Maybe Sony but Microsoft is already jumping the gun on that lol.

I love it when gaffers before we're thinking it's he hardware holding the game back. The devs wanted a different e look, the fan reception was negative - so they made it look different again and better in most people's eyes. Along with improving the jaggies and such.
From what I've personally played, Duscae was more pleasing to my eye than the March demo. Even though one was a year older, there's much that can change when devs have a vision where it looks (or looked) better for them but ultimately changed it back.

Y'all are talking like this is a common graphical jump in the last 4/5 months of development so I'd love some similar examples where this has happened
I lost hope in combat since Duscae demo.
It's definitely not simplistic. It does have quite a bit of animation priority, and that makes it a bit too unresponsive for many people, and I can definitely understand that, but it has a lot of depth, that's undeniable.
In random combat's case. Yes. FFXII and FFXIII made random encounter more meaningful (while people complain those games play themselves) but before that you really just choose "attack". I have no doubt I will be pressing more buttons in a encounter in FFXV than in old FF games.

They have done a bang up job and making the visuals much better in a short amount of time. It's telling when you can see the difference in shitty quality YouTube videos. Can't wait for the gamersyde uploads so I can feast on the visuals.
Oh, and the animations are some top tier quality stuff.
For what it's worth, imho, the voice acting is still shit tier and off putting, but fingers crossed the eventual pc version has the Japanese voices so I can lose myself is what looks to be a great game and the first time in years I have played a FF.

The console version has Japanese voices.
Exactly, they show the PC footage as representative of ALL the platforms but the point is that they don't tell you.
Here it's different, a publisher has to release a trailer for a specific console that is only going to highlight how the other versions look poor in comparisons doing the marketing work for a platform holder when they are used to do the opposite (they try to pretend there are no differences and whatever you choose is good).
Of course I think in general we'll get Pro trailers of upcoming games but I expect the matter to be handled with care by publishers.
The fact that the Pro version isn't ready is possible but if they showed a minute in a private theatre at TGS and it looked stunning it's obvious that they could show more. Also the Gamescom footage wasn't ready as well and looking poor and yet they showed 52 minutes of it.
I think the reason we're not seeing much of the Pro is just that the focus right now is on selling the normal versions and showcase how much they're improving them given all the concerns.

Yup, effective use of warp alone opens up a pretty rich tactical vein, and there's a ton of other stuff going on with cooperative and party member attacks, multiple types of magic, aerial combat, weapon switching, etc.
If anything, I think there will end up being complaints that there's too much to manage in higher level play.

Them moving around all the time when sitting in the car feels unnatural to me.
gameplay and graphics seem to be shaping up nicely. my only worries left are stability and story.
the voice acting i'll just have to deal with.
... what?

That system is used internally to manage the AI, but we don't have access to the modify those parameters.
What I've appreciated for better or worse is that Tabata was as honest as he could be with how this game looks/runs.
I appreciate him for that.

I definitely have a much more favorable opinion on the voice acting after this video, tbh. I still think the party banter is amazingly written.
The english localization took many liberties, and in some cases it's really for the worse, but I wonder if they added more banter than in the original dub, that would be a pretty nice incentive for playing with english voices.
I found interesting how, at least at first, the game guides you torwards always resting at night, while giving you hints that there's good stuff going on outside. Gets me excited for the difficulty of some of the night-exclusive encounters. The game definitely seems to be made so that people who only want to experience the story won't come against them, so they don't have to hold back at all.

The lack of positional audio is seriously bugging me. It handicaps the immersion.
I thought you were referring to Veiled in Black (the one used in Duscae night rearranged for the Nifl base trailer). I'm talking about the one at the start which is the arrangement of the Platinum Demo battle theme.
edit: checked your links, you apparently got your latin names mixed up lolol

It looks way, way better now. The framerate seems to be quite steady too.
I'm still super-glad that JP voice work is an option in this game. I just can't into Cindy's Texas accent.

How do we know if this is the final build? They can keep working on it more until the gold copy, right?

The game is heading off for certification. There's still the possibility of day one or week 1 patches but this video is what we'll be getting on the disc.
No prob! All these videos are really starting to get me going again too.

Dunno why that slipped by them.

Have you seen Tabby's face lately? He seems to sleep faint in any moment..
It's standard for voice over to come through the center channel, especially during cut-scenes. It's how movies do it.

They keep pimping their engine as being so cutting edge, and it cannot bother doing a thing games have been doing for over a decade.
You definitely hear the bros panning around in combat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCBbFwdpC6o#t=12m23s
And yes, center channel in film for VA is pretty much an industry standard.

It really isn't. I don't get why so many people responded to the delay with sentiments like this.
Polish and performance improvements are always happening at the end of the dev cycle. It's really just that we got an unusually frank look at pre-final versions of this game.
It's a creative choice.

Noct You Like a Hurricane?
I wonder if all the trophy names will be goofy like that.
Also, this fucking combat music is so good.

Well, I guess KH3 and FF7r still have a chance of being good so I won't completely write S-E off just yet but yeah. That still looks pretty bad.
Lmao it's like we've been watching two completely different games this entire year that they've been releasing footage. This game is like a low rent DmC.

Unfortunately not, going by the "Photo Rookie" and "Quadruple Wielder" (last one is loosely translated from Japanese) trophies.

They can shove that choice up their bunghole.

Not surprised at the graphical improvements. They were working with an incomplete engine after all.
What we saw before was final. It just didn't include the day one patch. If the game still released in September disc only players would've known the game as the mess we saw before.
