Can we have a civilized FFXV thread without memespouting shitposters and XV-kun's autism for once?
- What are you excited about the most?

- What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
>>337571713
>excited
Action combat, overal style and variety of the game
>worried
Potential catering to casuals and turn-based shitters. The giant on screen prompts to not be removable and bad performance
>buy it day one
Deluxe ed. pre-ordered
>demos
Both felt underwhelming but Platinum is an improvement
Should've had a different enemy tho, not IG
Looks great. Will buy.
>>337571713
>- What are you excited about the most?
The full gameplay system, the OST, exploring the world, the story because It's been 10 years and I just want closure on how everything culminates.
>- What are you worried about the most?
Performance on consoles, PS4K should fix most of those tho, PC version would also happen at some point down the road so I'm not too worried.
>- Are you going to buy it day one?
Yes, getting Deluxe edition.
>- What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
Performance wasn't the best and the gameplay was barebones in them, but what little we did get to try of the gameplay and visuals showed a solid foundation for whats to come.
>>337573148
>The full gameplay system, the OST, exploring the world, the story because It's been 10 years and I just want closure on how everything culminates.
Can't wait.
I count FFXV as the first modern FF game. XIII series kind of fell of the path, imo, but with FFXV, it looks like FF has once again found its footing. In my mind, FFXV is the start of FF franchises third "phase of evolution".
FF1-6 was phase 1.
FF7-10 was phase 2.
And FFXV begins phase 3.
i hope SE can redeem themselves here
and make something like ff8 and 10 again
>>337573512
Fuck you, I enjoyed XII
>>337573512
I think it's important to count missteps because they serve as a learning tool.
>>337571713
>Can we have a civilized FFXV thread without memespouting shitposters and XV-kun's autism for once?
not for long
Hey
>>337573512
I liked 13. Didn't deserve the hate it got. I'd put it above every FF before 5 and it's better than 8
>>337573683
It's an alright game. It did a lot of cool things. But it's when FF sort went off the tracks. Then it got worse with XIII series.
>What are you excited about the most?
typical SE overindulgent flashiness and the god tier OST
>What are you worried about the most?
The combat being clunky and the game world being empty and boring. Hopefully character building won't be paper thin like it seems to be
>Are you going to buy it day one?
been waiting for it too long not to
>What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
I actually hated Duscae. The combat was garbage and it ran like shit. The carbuncle one really saved my interest in the game.
I just want it to play like it did here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNdGGlHtmcg
Seems unlikely tho, considering it was shown 2 years ago and the game never looked even close to that ever since
Still getting it day 1
>>337574109
But that's what exactly the game plays like when you use Armiger in the Duscae demo.
>>337575208
Nah, it's not.
In Duscae it just randomly switches weapons and uses random attack slots (C/R/V)
In the video combos are clearly structured the same way as the regular ED combat mode, but it's faster and Noctis can teleport fluently between enemies.
Also the camera doesn't suck
Also the ravage combos are much better
>>337574109
>>337575454
Every attack being done in that clip is with attack button held down and he's using Armiger too. We saw them use that "1 hit then warp to next target" ability in the progress report from Jan. Other than that they just have either extended Crush attacks or they were just using Crush animations for Ravage parts then.
>>337575565
We still don't know if that "Ghosting" ability is a manual or charged pre-scripted thing like in Witcher 3 though
Could be either considering Noctis does some kind of charging animation before the move comes out.
>>337575729
It just says it's a Phantom Ability.
>>337571713
>- What are you worried about the most?
The story being shit, a good story is all I want from a Final Fantasy game.
http://www.famitsu.com/matome/ff15/2016_05_13_eng.html
>Tabata: Kitase-san is a tough debater. I was witness to a heated exchange, where Sakaguchi-san was pointing out that Kitase-san knew in his heart what he should be doing, yet not doing it, while Kitase-san’s argument was that some efforts are simply not realistic.
>Sakaguchi: I recall saying something along the lines of “Nothing is impossible, you're just not trying, break the box and think outside it!“ (laughs)
It's interesting that although Sakaguchi acknowledges that Kitase is a great director, he just doesn't have the guts to go all out unless somebody pushes him to. Pretty much sums up the main problem of his producer era. And it looks like Tabata doesn't have that timidity.
>no shitposting
>thread dies
Erry time
>>337573808
kek
I want to lick his nose!
looks good but the gameplay is ass
KH2 was better and that came out like 10 years ago
>>337577787
Nah. And even higher level play was too floaty and cartoonish. Worked fine for KH, but FF is not KH.
>>337577591
Overall this interview is quite interesting. Guch is badass, but even he wanted to held down the action aspect of the game to appease to turn-based fans, dumbing down the action gameplay, which would be a catastrophe.
>>337577787
oh boy, here it comes...
I played PD for 20 hours now just give me the full game already REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Fuck I waited long enough
>>337578057
4 more months. In the mean time we are getting a new anime episode each month and Kingsglaive in July.
Noctis best waifu
There is supposed to be some German RPG gaming event that XV is going to featured at later this month.
>Mfw one of the lucky 30K to get Ultimate Edition.
Oh September 30th, you can't come fast enough
- What are you excited about the most?
I adore the overall aesthetic and setting and that the plot is basically about male bonding with your dad and your friends.
- What are you worried about the most?
Too easy combat, not being able to turn off step-by-step quest markers, framerate
- Are you going to buy it day one?
Sure, got the deluxe version preordered for the nice steelbook and dee el cee
- What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
Combat is versatile as hell once you grasp it and start experimenting, but the demo had pretty low-tier graphics and framerate, which I hope is because it was rushed. Then again Duscae already proved the game proper looks and runs better
>>337578621
Kek.
I suddenly remember that terribly acted "I COULD DO WITH THE BAAAATH" quote from the first Eng trailer.
>>337578348
I literally told everyone I know to not bother me from the 30th of September onward. Literally told my mum to fuck off and dropped all appointments I had.
>>337578350
You mean Aranea. But she's claimed already.
>>337571713
>What are you excited about the most?
Comfy roadtrip moments, summons, Noctis railing Luna on their wedding night in the epilogue.
>What are you worried about the most?
The villain being shit, lack of weapon variety, Noctis not railing Luna.
>Are you going to buy it day one?
Pre-ordered it already.
>What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
Duscae was super fun and had good combat after the updates.
Platinum had stellar music that reminded me of Kingdom Hearts and was a good technical showcase.
>>337577591
>Sakaguchi: Indeed. I also realized that things probably aren't easy for Tabata-san. It was the same for Chrono Trigger; taking over from someone else and rebuilding a project is hard work. So I was commending him on his effort; “It's actually pretty rough, isn't it?” (laughs)
Didn't know CT had a similar history. According to wiki, Kitase and Tokita only took over the directing and writing later in development; originally they weren't even part of the dev team.
>>337571713
Played the demo yesterday, it killed any hype I had for the game.
So disappointing
>>337578883
>implying Noctis won't be a corpse in the epilogue
It's a tragedy and Tabata's protagonists have a zero survival rate. Add the whole Martyr King lore and crystal cancer and it's obvious he's all kinds of doomed.
>>337579021
Did you get the extra weapons? If not then go back and git gud.
>>337577591
Nips are based as fuck. Chill interview
>>337579305

>>337571713
>- What are you excited about the most?
The gameplay, exploring the world and the OST.
>- What are you worried about the most?
The story might go full retard like FF games tend to do and the open world might be empty in some places. The driving might get boring after a while too.
>- Are you going to buy it day one?
It comes out the day after my birthday so I might.
>- What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
Both of them were rather light on content but I enjoyed them except for the young Noctis part of the PD. PD's gameplay didn't blow me away because there isn't much to do with it but it was missing a lot so IMO the final game will be better.Still not a fan of the button holding though.

>Such a sweet little look into the world of XV (Carbuncle a CUTE). Kudos to the devs for letting us try out the combat with grown-up Noctis at the end. So damn excited and I've already logged in 13 hrs into it.

>What are you worried about the most?
PC port quality and speed.
>Are you going to buy it day one?
Nope, i'm poor as a rat and havent enought money for a PS4. I will wait for PC port, developers said they wanna do "soon(TM)", so i have the hope i could play on 2018 :_(.

https://youtu.be/lm4yg2LC7hk?t=72
>>337579941
>>337580578
Why would you even care how the game sells. It's not like it shall make it less enjoyable for you if it sells 10 copies only.
>>337581008
Because I want DEE EL CEE and more of this franchise as it's my favorite one. Also, I like Tabata.
>>337572558
Pretty good opinion, anon. Totally agree.
>>337581087
They will dish out dlc in any case so you don't have to worry about that
As for sales, I'm sure it will easily surpass 5 million units mark, not that confident in their 10 millions goal tho
>>337581008
The developers have obviously put a lot of effort into this and they deserve to have strong sales. Also, we may get to see a similar aesthetic/setting used in other games if it's successful.
>Excited
For the story, combat, size of the world and exploring it, interaction between the characters. Yokos godly music.
>Worried
It's hard for me to see anything to be worried about being so hyped, but I just hope it's praised universally. Not in the way Naughty dog gets praised for its generic garbage, I was XV to be the next OOT of its time.
>Day one buy
Yep Ultimate Collectors preordered
Demos
>I played 150 hours of Duscae just exploring the demo inside and breaking out of it. I also looked at the finer details. PD was fun, short, not optimized, but combat was good, I spent good 25hrs on it.
>>337581008
No sales, no more masterpieces.
>implying its a masterpiece.
>>337581008
Squeenix said that if it doesn't sell well it'll be the final final fantasy
>>337581008
>game sells well

It does matter, unless you want nothing but mobile F2P games in the future.
>>337581462
Anon, what the fuck.
>>337581523
Aren't there reports that they're already working on XVI? And what if XV bombs but VIIR does great? I wouldn't really worry about it.
>>337581493
It is fuck every skeptic this shit is literally leaking gold.
>>337581523
>>337581528
They're making FF VII Remake and KHIII as we speak. At least this gen is settled for them
>>337571713
> - What are you excited about the most?
waifus
> - What are you worried about the most?
the quality of the inevitable pc port
> - Are you going to buy it day one?
I can't, I had a ps 1,2,3, but I stopped console gaming, it is not for me
On the plus side I stopped buying cable and tv's alltogether
mfw I plan to ONLY use Broad swords unless I realllllyy have too
>>337581462
>It's hard for me to see anything to be worried about being so hyped, but I just hope it's praised universally. Not in the way Naughty dog gets praised for its generic garbage, I was XV to be the next OOT of its time.
This is the most autistic shit i've read all day
Who gives a fuck what the press or people think, most popular things are shit because they apply to the lowest common denominator, aka everybody. Granted, not all popular things are bad.
>>337581781
>waiting for PC port
I know dat feeling bro.
>>337581668
I hope a masterpiece, but hell it knows.
>>337581964
That looks boring as heck, dude.
>>337582051
it was an optimal run, faster kill
Broad swords do shittons of damage, and you can cancel out of your recovery with certain skills
Air step just seems weak in the demo
>>337581987
I wish my friends could understand that, but they base everything off of metacritic its fucking annoying.
>>337582349
Well often Metacritic actually reflects the quality of a game senpai. Not always, not defending that shit. But it's not like the score is fucking far from reality m8o
>>337581543
What, my demo playtime? Yeah I played it across 4 different PS4s. Then Episode duscae 2.0 came out as well.
>>337581634
Sakaguchi has asked Tabata if he's working on FFXVI too, but Tabata refused to answer. But SE generally has several FFs in planning simultaneously, so FFXVI is probably in pre-production at least.
>>337582648
I don't believe FFX is a 92, I also don't believe UC4 is a 93, both of those games are like 7 or 8s at best.
whoops screwed up the timing
>>337582703
>They really need to fix the daytime lighting in this game. Sunset and evening look great, but day is constantly washed out. Seems like they're not setting up their exposures properly or something.
>>337582802
But that's just you.
>>337582910
Nah no way in hell FFX is better than FF7-FF9 or even their level. I'm 100% thats universally agreed on.
>>337582975
VII and X are the most popular, aren't they? X is very well liked.
>>337582802
That's why I said it's often right, not always.
Anyways back to topic pic related is my waifu you will not steal her from me. UNDERSTAND?
>>337582848
Looks fine to me, the bluish overtone looks intentional during day.
>>337571713
Bravo, OP, you actually managed to create a FFXV thread with almost zero shitposting
Even the Dead on Arrival guy hasn't posted yet. Impressive
>>337583081
X is so well like yet it does the same thing XIII does.
Linear, random plot, Sphere Grid is objectively worse than Crystarium (it was better laid out in XIII). Other than nostalgia can someone really tell me im wrong with a good reason,
>>337583332
Posting actual questions/prompts in the OP does wonders for discussion, but nobody ever does it.
>>337583332
You forget the "I dont like the game, it have zero geography sense" guy.
>>337583432
Combat actually worked in X but otherwise I agree with you
>>337583104
i claimed her back in 2011
>>337583432
>random plot
What does that even mean? And the sphere grid is definitely better than the Crystarium, it allows for actual distinct builds rather than just picking a class.
At this point I just want it to be a fun videogame. The two demos were not fun to play, but pretty I guess.
Hopefully it will run at a stable framerate and have more responsive controls for the final releaseupgrading my PC next month, so I'm secretly hoping for a PC announcement so I don't have to worry about the performance of the game
>>337583432
I didnt play XIII, but X its a masterpiece, not just a overvalorated game. Really cool to play for his story (not for his battle sistem)
>>337583432
It had a 10/10 story.
>>337583561
>play through Uncharted 4
>this now looks only mildly impressive
I did this to myself.
>>337583698
Uncharted is all baked tho, XV is all dynamic.
>>337583432
It's the babby's first FF effect. It was the first FF on PS2, the best selling console ever, and also the first FF with a shitload of animated cutscenes and voice acting. It does have exactly the same problems that people crucify XIII for, but the nostalgia goggles are one hell of a drug.
>>337583763
She wants the noct D she gon get the noct D
>>337583571
Tidus is in dream land or better yet he is a dream, Characters are barely involved, Lulu has so few lines of actual meaningful dialogue,
All I can remember about Wakka was his dead brother we never really care about and see once. Yuna is legit an emotionless tool the entire ride.
There is something about the characters that feel so empty and robotic. I feel far more for other games Square made back in the day like Kingdom Hearts 1 which has way more charm to it even by todays standards
>>337583780
so much this. Uncharted 4 is like the new NFS. It looks good just like a whore with make up looks "good". It's a cheap facade senpai and if you knew even a little bit about game engines you wouldn't be that amazed about U4.
No offense, U4 looks good, but it's still a cheap pre baked facade.
>>337571713
>excited
Characters, story and OST
>worried
Honestly everything else.
It's crazy how everything they've shown fails to impress lately. It looks like an amateurish B-tier game with no content at all and it keep getting worse
>day one
As soon the Neo PS4 is released, sold my PS4.
>demo
The last one killed all the hype Duscae gaves me.
>>337583958
Noct can fuck off and rail Stella but Dragoon Lady is my pretty girl
>>337583780
This, dynamic weather and Day and night cycle are non existent in uncharted giving devs all the freedom to make everything look pretty everytime. Literally static ass engine in comparison to what luminous is about to pull off.
>>337583525
You actually had to plan and use buffs and debuffs in XIII. X was a basic rock-paper-scissors at the beginning and Press Quick Hit/Attack to win later on.
>>337584206
All I needed in FFX was Haste and raw stats...
>>337583780
>>337583995
>>337584192
I hate to be that guy but I'd honestly prefer XV to have baked lighting and stuff if it means we'd get clear image quality, good AA and stable performance
Besides, Uncharted 4 uses plenty of dynamic techniques as well
>>337583294
I did tone down the blue tone in that image but it's really the value curve that I find issue with. That shot has a much more sensible curve, which is a bit strange to me since they both seem to be taken from the platinum demo under the same lighting condition.
The blue tint I get is intentional and has to do with the fact that real world sunlight is actually slightly bluish rather than the yellow most people think, but it seems a bit overdone; wouldn't you say the shot looks better once that's been toned down a bit(pic related)?
>>337584454
Yeah, pretty much. And if that somehow wasn't enough, Aeon Overdrives were an instant Auto-win button. Could literally kill most bosses in two or three hits.
>>337571713
>excited about getting to play the final version of battle system
>worried that the game will be short or uninteresting
>yes
>the music is great, atmosphere feels wonderful, designs are good, story seems to be interesting. Only negative is battle system seems a little floaty
>>337584572
That would work for a linear game but for open world youd best have Day night cycle, also Night time in XV is going to be something else... and thankfully it will take over the second half of the game. Just wait till they fully apply Umbra tech into the engine the performance will get better. Also PS4k on the way. Shit XV even has destructible environments
>>337584889
>Also PS4k on the way
Nah, I'm not buying another ps4, will wait for the inevitable pc port instead settling for vanila xv in the meantime
>>337584669
I like the blue tint, that only happens during the earliest times of the day, it feels cleaner.
>>337571713
>What are you excited about the most?
That they're doing a 1:1 scale of the usual overworld and that they're experimenting with action combat. Honestly, I've been wanting them to tackle/or at least experiment the two things I mentioned earlier. And they're doing both.
>What are you worried about the most?
Performance, graphics and bugs.The sprinting duration and speed. Car travel speed. Oh and the flying car. If you can't control them, I'll be dissapointed as hell.
>Are you going to buy it day one?
Yes. Deluxe mang.
>What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
>Good
The fact that I can play them.
>Bad
Platinum demo really dented their marketing. Performance and jaggies. (I hope Umbra will do the trick) Magic targeting system is still clunky. Combat is abusable.
>>337585183
You can control both the car and carship manually. Noctis and Ignis actually switch when Noctis takes the wheel.
>>337584889
Wasn't Umbra already implemented in PD
As far as I remember it showed their logo.
With that being said, I'm still positive it will be improved, I just hope that it doesn't suffer Bloodborne's issue of feamepacing
>>337585720
nah PD was deff not optimized, ED Ran smoother because they worked on that for months. We only got that Umbra confirmation recently.
>>337585978
Nobody even knows whether Umbra will be of any use mate can't just shout UMBRA UMBRA and hope the job is done.
>>337586173
Arkham Knight uses it and it runs really good on consoles
Still it takes efforts since The Witcher 3 also used it and it was fixed to a playable state on the ps4 only 6 months after its release
>>337586173
It certainly helped Witcher 3 after a few patches
>>337586334
Umbra was in Witcher since it's release.
>>337584889
Nighttime in Duscae? How was it? Never get the chance to play Duscae, but I really like the nighttime in Platinum. The transition from dusk to night is so beautiful. Even the delay for the street lights to shine. Oooh, just simply make me tear up a bit. It's beautiful as hell.Are there any let's play or youtuber played Duscae at night? Almost everyone I've saw, went to camp when it's almost nighttime
>>337571713
Waiting for a PS4/Xbox bundle.
>>337586789
>Considering XBOX
kek
>>337586789
This. I was waiting for a bundle announcement at the Uncovered event. But came empty. Will they really be doing it?
>>337586590
pretty dark out in fields, gas station is well lit tho.
>>337586173
Assuming they hadn't implemented it at all in PD it could actually improve things significantly. Umbra involves occlusion culling, which is basically a fancy way of saying "not rendering stuff that's behind other stuff and will get covered up anyway" To a human this seems obvious but the way the render pipeline is designed, the computer (normally) has no way of knowing what it can "safely" throw out; in fact, "overdraw," as it's called, is a common problem not only in gaming but even with rendering graphics in webpages and apps. If Square already knew they were going to license Umbra but hadn't actually implemented it in the engine yet, it's conceivable that there's NO culling going on right now which would be a huge performance hit. Also in an open world game with XV's scale there would be overdraw out the ASS so it probably will make a big difference.
>>337585510
Yeah, I know about the car (on ground) manual control. But the airship manual control is still hasn't confirmed (vocally at least and there's yet proof). Fingers crossed man.
>>337571713
>What are you excited about the most?
The story, lore, world, characters, OST, sidequests.
>What are you worried about the most?
Forced happy ending, some almighty power of friendship deus ex machina. I'm not too worried, though.
>Are you going to buy it day one?
Hell yes. Have Deluxe edition pre-ordered.
>What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
Both were really promising. The game looks beautiful, animations are some of the best in the industry, and I really liked the combat in PD once I figured it out.
>What are you excited about the most?
Exploring the world, doing bro things, getting to see the full story.
>What are you worried about the most?
The story being retarded shit or barebones MGSV lite. Performance issues. Lack of a PC release ever.
>Are you going to buy it day one?
Of course.
>What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
I enjoyed ED a lot. Platinum Demo was alright. The controls felt clunky compared to ED and Jesus Christ controlling the car was a right pain in the ass.
>>337581008
Because the fate of the franchise rides on it... as well as future IPs from square-enix.
>>337587192
Nigga you will only fly once you complete 80% of the game so stay grounded famalam xDDDD
>>337587096
What's the probability of getting a release XV with Umbra?
>>337586590
Night time is really dark in Duscae. You actually need those flashlights because otherwise you wouldn't see shit.
>>337586590
On par with Dragons Dogma imo. It actually felt like night and places that should be well lit were well lit.
Im excited for the inevitible pc release
With all the ff games on pc now theres just no way its staying on xbone and ps4
>>337587192
Gameinformer said they'd tried piloting it. They were also told that people will crash a lot until they master the landing.
>>337587502
Stay mad pcuck I'll tell you how good it is and laugh about you
>>337587192
It has been confirmed. They're getting Avalanche Studios to do it for them.
>>337586959
I'm starting to think they want to announce the bundle with the PS4 Neo.
>>337587502
It's a shame it'll take them a few more years to pump out a PC port since they wanted to add more shit to that but goddamn do I want to see just how beautiful this game can get running on one.

10 years
10 fukcing years of devellopement. Have an FF even took this much time to be done before? I was 12 years when it was announced in 2006.
>>337588691
It wasn't really in development until 2012/2013. It was unveiled so early that Noctis didn't even have a name at that point.
>>337571713
PC port when?
I hope it has Jojo references and memes
>>337587626
>>337587852
Wait, they did confirmed it? Fuck I must've missed that.
>>337588953
the ost was composed around 2006. Trailer from 2006: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD4DzXKSJE0
>>337589203
I honestly miss the sickdark look and atmosphere Versus trailers used to have
>dat KH-like piano intro
>dat Noctis snapping poor soldier's neck
>angsty sitting on the throne
Would've been GOTY
>>337589203
It was just one song, anon. They literally had nothing: Noctis was an unnamed prince, other characters weren't invented yet and so on. It was essentially a CGI concept art. Even two years later, the game was just 1.3% done according to SE themselves.
>>337589203
Some of it was. In the gameinformer interview Shimomura mentioned she was still composing tracks for the game
>>337589203
Noctis felt like Sasuke there. i'm glad they didn't keep him like this.
>>337571713
Demo killed any hype I have for this game. Action is utterly braindead and attempting to do anything remotely stylish is clunky as fuck.
>>337577591
Read through the interview, Sakaguchi is based as fuck.
>>337589378
Versus didn't look like that either, m8. Literally the second trailer had sunny Altissia, the team playing around and the sunlit Lucil region.
>>337589757
you expected KH gameplay?
Luna = Stella?

I own uncharted and nothing looks as good as that hallway in the game

>- What are you excited about the most?
Having an open world RPG to waste a good amount of time in.
>- What are you worried about the most?
The quality of the side content, the writing/characters and the story at large. It's the first time SE has done an open world game, and I really wouldn't put it past them to make all side activities a shallow, barely even rewarding timesink, as for the story...well, it's SE.
>- Are you going to buy it day one?
I'll wait for impressions first, but if it's good I'll buy it.
>- What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
I only played the Platinum demo, and the combat felt a tad too stiff and the controls too unconventional for what was, by all intents, a conventional action combat system. Also the rest of the (tech) demo was just boring, platforming felt like shit and there wasn't much else to do in it.
>>337590867
>Platforming felt like shit
It is not a platforming game and ED didn't have any strict platforming sections mate. Walking up some forks for 20 seconds is not platforming.
>>337591030
Nonetheless, the jump felt like absolute dogshit.
>What are you excited about the most?
The story and the open world-ish gameplay
> What are you worried about the most?
The homogenized party
>Are you going to buy it day one?
probably, because I'm a fucking sucker
>What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
The first demo was terrible. Gameplay was clunky, saw some major homoerotic shit in there and the whole thing was slow going. Second demo had improved gameplay but major Alice in Wonderland shit going on. Don't know what to think about that.
>>337589779
And also an alcoholic. Gotta love how he kind of shits on Toriyama there.
>>337593257
That's sad. FF XIII was not a bad game.
>>337571713
>- What are you excited about the most?
Playing it.
>- What are you worried about the most?
Being disappointed with it.
>- Are you going to buy it day one?
Yes.

You mean when playing as Kid Noctis? You were controlling an 8 year old; can't expect him to pull off any acrobatics just yet.
>>337594208
Adult Noctis can jump too and it feels very awkward. You lose all momentum and just sort of bounce off of the environment.
>>337589203
Only a single song was, and even then Nomura said himself back then that the story hadn't even been written. Noctis's name wasn't even revealed until 2008.
>>337571713
>-What are you excited about the most?
Story, music and designs
>-What are you worried about the most?
Combat and framerate
>- Are you going to buy it day one?
Probably, but the choice would've been easier if it was also on PC.
>- What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
Platinum was kinda bad. I just ignore it now.
>>337589150
They did. They also mentioned how you have to learn how to land it properly too otherwise you'll damage the car.
>>337589203
Everything looked so much better here. I don't care if it was just prototype stage. Fuck SE for teasing us with this and then pulling the rug underneath our feet.
Did we get any news on the returning characters?
>>337594945
What returning characters?
>>337594864

>>337595038
There were characters announced in the Versus trailer which were abandoned, re-announced, and removed again.
>>337594864
It didn't tho. The current trailers still have that same tone while looking better.
>>337595342
All the characters in the Versus trailers are in XV, with only Stella being changed into Luna.
The PC version is going to be balls to the wall.

Chara-design, graphics.
>worried
FFXIII corridor-style, repetitive boring combat (I tried the plat demo).
>day one
No. I will never give my money to SE again after FFXIII. I might get it if it turns out to be extraordinary.
>demo
Graphics were good, framerate was terrible. I thought combat would be much more dynamic, it felt clunky in the end.
>>337571713
>excited
Combat looks fun, bootleg stealth and the party seems great for friendly banter while exploring
>worried
QTE's, empty open world, party ai being braindead, story might end up being boring
>buy it day one
Hoping theres a bundle of it and a PS4 when it rolls around to the release date
>demos
haven't played them due to not having a console to play it, (been waiting for the PS4 to get more games before buying one). I honestly don't care about framerate considering I enjoyed Bayonetta on PS3
i'm looking forward to the PC port.
>100-150Go
or more?
>>337595356
I can't put my finger on it, but FFXV seems way more "alive" somehow. Everything before 2013 just looked kind of hollow, like there was no actual organic characterization/weight behind it. I had the same problem with FFXIII too.
I just want them to polish things up as much as possible before it released.

It is a different time of day, and it's also the top being CG like the KH3 reveal trailer while the bottom is from a 3GB tech demo, not the actual game. The outer area only has low LOD models because again it's only 3GB.
>>337596819
they're different. There is water in the 2nd pic.
>>337596819
Did they seriously flood the place?
>>337596819
Well, to be completely honest, PD did use very low-res assets, even compared to Duscae.
Here's the sword's texture in Duscae, for example...
>>337596928
>None of them are from the actual game.
>the actual game will be worse
Top kek
>>337597341
And here's in the Platinum Demo
>>337597439
>>337597432
No the actual game will be better because it's using and loading more data.
>>337597341
>>337597439
And this is because Episode Duscae is 8GB big and has more data and assets it can render while PD is only 3GB and has less.
>>337595480
Oh good.
>>337597583
>>337597324
It's a tech demo taking place in a dream that isn't even in the full game.

>>337597823
I wasn't disagreeing on that point, quite the opposite, strengthening the point that Platinum is limited compared to what the actual assets are

>What are you most excited about?
For SE to fix this shit before release:
>No automatic air warping
>Currently if you're near an enemy but closer than auto warping distance, noctis will get pulled into the enemy when you attack. Remove that.
>Holding the stick in a direction should take priority over the auto-targetting system when choosing an attack direction, both on ground and in the air. The greatsword air attack is already good.
>Special attacks should work at all ranges. Only being able to do one from a specific range is boring. Also put them on their own button like in duscae, so that the stick is reserved for changing direction while attacking.
>Hold attack to combo should be removed. Each button press should equal one attack.
>All moves should be available outside of combat. This will allow players, and especially beginners to experiment with the controls without any pressure.
>Enabling armiger during attacks.
>That auto backstep is another thing that happens automatically. It looks really cool, and that's why I think it should be manually triggered.
>Being able to hold jump to automatically jump as soon as possible after an attack should be removed. You should learn to jump quickly after an attack from experience and practice.
>Flashy air movement is too easy to achieve. It should still be possible in my opinion but it should come with practice, after playing the game for 40 hours maybe.
>Dissidia 012 has some great tricks with it's special moves. For example Kain's "jump" ability can be cancelled by dodging after the jump portion of the ability to make a quick escape, or do any other attack instead of the downward spear attack. They need to do a lot of this type of stuff for FFXV.
>More weapon slots, or a way to switch sets during gameplay
Full explanation of these elements: http://pastebin.com/umKKB6JZ
Spread this shit. Post it in every goddamn thread. We need to make them see that they can still fix this.

No use.
Nobody from SE marketing or community management browses 4chan.
Hell, half of these points were brought up constantly in the official forums feedback section, so at this point there's no use bothering about all that.
That being said, wait until the final games come out and then after the game is cleared and all the final combat mechanics and gameplay are examined, start bitching about stuff like that. That's what I'm gonna do at least.
>>337598828
Send it to them then. How? I don't know. Link something to their twitter account or something. Spreading it here on /v/ will only attract XV-kun.

Watched a timelapse video of duscae. It looked really gorgeous at night. Seeing the stars move across the night sky. Oh, man.
>>337581462
>>337581964
>>337598250
i know this battle system takes some getting used to but it just feels so damn clunky
i was hoping it would have been more like KH
>>337599683
It really does sometimes but over time it's been improved in Duscae 2.0 and Platinum Demo, so there's hoping the final game will be polished out
The potential is definitely there
>>337583432
I agree. It was the first final fantasy I played that I was disappointed with. I legitimately would rather replay 13 than 10.
>>337579305
>tabata characters having a 100% mortality rate
>that faggot makina surviving type-0 and getting the glory of class 0 saving the day
I'm just excited that the overworld will be a playable, fleshed out version of the old games overworld, and with all the mediocre open world games lately i hope square can make it great.
And any game with this level of production that also manages give you tons of hours of fun is worth playing so i guess i will buy it on the PS4K when i get one or wait for the inevitable PC port.
>>337600630
That's because he was essentially an antagonist. The real protagonists all died.
>>337596819
Serious question, does this difference actually bother some people? I think I might be a pleb. And people were talking about how nice that corridor looked in the demo and I just kind of ran past it.
>>337571713
>- What are you excited about the most?
It's highly unlikely, but there's a small possibility that some huge natural disaster destroys the entirety of Squeenix's building. Maybe a really strong earthquake?
>- What are you worried about the most?
That it may sell well.
>- Are you going to buy it day one?
I wouldn't want this even for free.
>- What good and bad can you say about the demos if you played them?
It looks pretty, I guess. The gameplay and the characters are shit though.
>>337601217

>>337571713
>- What are you worried about the most?
That FFXV became a big thing by selling a lot of copies.

Autism : The post
>>337601716
Every final fantasy has played differently from every final fantasy. Personally I think X is shit but people love it. That's just the way it is. Just wait for 16 if you hate it so much.

i don't hate it.

>>337601217
thanks for bumping the thread
>>337601716
how is that a bad thing?
>>337601716
They will change around the combat system for the next entry, but I highly doubt they'll do normal turn-based.
>>337602116
Did you seriously liked ATB?
>>337602568
What's wrong with ATB? it's Final fantasy not Kingdom Heart.
>>337602715
>KH invented Action RPGs
>>337602715
It sucked, maybe it worked for the SNES games and FFXII but all the other games would have been better if they were turn based.
>>337602715
>What's wrong with ATB
Repetitive. Especially when you're grinding. But it does allows for some unimaginable boss battles.
>>337602942
>FFXII
It's called ADB for XII. Here are the games who uses: http://www.giantbomb.com/active-dimension-battle/3015-685/
Well i know that ATB doesn't work well with the current gen but i like it when they tries different gameplay with each FF.
>>337603306
>who
which* try*
>>337602410
Just look at FFVIIR. They will no doubt invent something new again for XVI, but there's zero chance they will got back to static ATB ever again for the mainline FFs.
>>337603805
*will go
>>337599193
By then it'll be too late.
>>337599389
I don't have a twitter. I'm not even sure how that works.
>>337603805
My point exactly. But I'm cool with the changes. And XVI will probably have Ito as it's director.
>>337604062
The game is already done. You're also delusional if you think that anybody sane would have given a shit about your list of autism either way.
>>337604062
Complain about it when they will release to steam in 3/4 years.
>>337604483
Nowadays the definition of autism when posted on /v/ is "something that took more effort than it's worth".
So you're actually trying to save me the trouble, and I think that's sweet.
>>337604062
No twitter? Seriously? Or just forward an email to them.
>>337604483
The interview with famitsu (there's a link in this thread) suggest that they did have some feedbacks from Platinum and are trying their best to polish it. But it could be something Tabata bullshit about because at 6 months, I doubt they'll change too much of the dynamics of the combag system. Maybe some minor tweaks.
>>337571713
will it dethrone FFVII?
