Game Informer May Cover Reveal: Final Fantasy XV

I posted the GI update in the platinum demo thread but I'll post here from now on - this thread is much more fitting.
It seems
the game drops you in a fairly large open/empty space close to the beginning. Large open spaces are cool and all, but that also means you'll have to run a lot (the car broke down). Oh well, I'm sure it won't be too bad.
. Other than that, the new GI video is pretty exciting. I really laughed when Noctis takes this out of the car at 4:20:

It just clips through the car completely, there's not even a hole! :p
 
Have we really come so far to make "open world" no longer a hype buzzword but something developers are trying to distance themselves from?
 
No it isn't. Duscae has better foliage.
While I agree Duscae had better foilage overall, I think it's worse here because you're in a desert looking area.

I think a lot more here improved if we're looking at the new trailers as well. The lighting being the biggest thing as it's much more natural.
 
This game has me in a weird place where I'm in between "this game is going to be amazing" and "this game is going to be utterly disappointing", it's discomforting
 
Went online yesterday to order a GI sub, excited that my first issue will be the XV cover story.

Get my confirmation email, see the "you should receive your first issue in 6-8 weeks!" disclaimer.

The fuck....? :(

Maybe the car is just a virgin

Already fixed since, see:

Already done, can people not see the "Pre Beta Gameplay" sign on the corner or what?
 
Wow their next update is tomorrow? Usually they drop features or updates every other day to spread it out over the month.

Not complaining though! Tomorrow is my birthday so I'd happily take more gameplay footage!! =D

You're thinking of IGN's month of coverage thing. This is only a week.
 
If the mods are listening, maybe this link could be added to the OP so people can follow the coverage as it unfolds. It might keep the Game Informer FFXV news from spreading into 5 different threads every other day.

You never get the current issue of a magazine when subscribing. That's a sort of relic based on the fact you usually buy the current issue in a store and then mail in one of the subscription cards they place in the middle.

Basically the working assumption is you have the current book, you'll get the next one.
 
Some screenshots (hope the spoiler tags work):

Spoiler tags with images don't work on mobile, but people clicking on this topic should be well aware that a feature article is going to be an info dump with spoilers anyway.
 
I want to know if the CG scenes from 2013 trailer are still in the game or did they get rid of them because of the movie?
 
I hope not, i want to see the invasion CG in game as well, not only in the movie, also characters designs in the movie is very different from the game.

The game is very much from the perspective of Noctis. We haven't seen any scenes in the recent game trailers that shows Noctis out of the picture. Since Noctis isn't at the invasion they are not going to show it in the game.

Yea the designs are different and that's by choice.

The scene of Luna with the Leviathan, also the scene of Luna in the Dawn trailers.
 
Since Tabata mentioned that a good villain is one that is good enough to create a whole new game around, I'm having high hopes for the main villain of FFXV. It's been a while since we've had a compelling bad guy in FF.

Most/all the cutscene footage we've seen is from the beginning when the party just got news of the invasion. Basically chapter 1. I wouldn't jump to conclusions. There are going to be flashbacks, like the kid Luna flashback we've seen in the Dawn trailer.

The invasion, if they show it in-game won't be as fleshed out as it is in Kingsglaive, but they'll still probably show something.
