What's going to go wrong?
>>335556015
Nothing
lunafreya is going to be revealed as the main antagonist.
>>335556015
>not the shooped version with a blow job option
>>335556221
>Black on asian gay porn
Seriously tho Titan looks pretty crazy.
Hyped to she what they do for Shiva.
>Pre-Beta
what did they mean by this?
>Ask my friends
But you don't get to bring friends.
>>335556015
>Ask my friends [ f]
>>335556015
Trashcan framerate
Shit combat
Graphics nerfed for playable framerate, large areas won't look as good due to sub resolutions and having to skimp
Why do people here want this to fail so bad. In fact, every time I see a discussion on an upcoming game on here, it's usually in the context of anons wanting it to fail.
>>335556508
Beta, named after the second letter of the Greek alphabet, is the software development phase following alpha. Software in the beta stage is also known as betaware. Beta phase generally begins when the software is feature complete but likely to contain a number of known or unknown bugs. Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues and may still cause crashes or data loss.
Why did they change her into an old man with white hair and tits?
Combat, sausagefest, framerate, will probably have Bethesda levels of bugs.
>>335556701
Because we want Square to actually make good gameplay + high production value instead of high production value with shit gameplay.
>>335556015
It's going to be a Final Fantasy game
>>335556221
How do eidolons work anyway?
>>335556221
why do they keep cutting at the exact moment his fist contacts the ground
>>335556909
Final Fantasy never had good gameplay. And I doubt this failing will make them learn their lesson. If anything, it'll just make them branch for a wider audience for the series.
>>335556479
Don't forget they have FF6 Crusaders in here and Bahamut as well
>>335557048
Depends on a certain condition, they will do certain actions. Titan for example will do Gaias wrath and make a shockwave like in the older titles, or throw a boulder at the enemy, or even run away if he can't match the enemy.
>>335557089
Animation probably not done or something,
>>335557180
Every game has people that don't like it.
The issue here is oldfags wanting things not to change.
>>335556292
I wish.
So in last GI video there was a pretty high quality Versus Prompto model
Versus alternate outfit confirmed?
>>335556015
>ask for a loan
YES
YEEEEEES
So what are the chances we're going to fight the people from Kingsglave as bosses or optional bosses?
>>335556015
>What's going to go wrong?
XV-kun ruining these threads with his never-ending autism. FFXV threads become very nice when he isn't there.
Kind of wanting the movie.
>>335556015
Is the party a confirmed sausage feast?
>>335558385
Yes.
>>335558385
No.
>>335557901
High, Glauca, Ardyn, and Old white hair man, are all most likely in game boss fights.
>>335556015
Loan.
be like Han Solo.
>>335556015
I would ask her to be my wife.
But that's just me.
Some guys gotta save the world.
I just want a qt waifu.
>>335558385
Maybe
>>335558385
I don't know
>>335558385
Can you repeat the question?
I watched the GI character change thread and they actually made Prompto worse in FFXV than in Versus. In Versus he has this casual style to him that is easy to relate to. In XV, he goes full punk emo band member. Why does SE do this? It must have an incredibly niche appeal making a character design like that. I don't think those people even play FF games.
>>335556015
Having the combat from the Platinum demo instead of Episode Duscae
Also shitty performance with shittier visuals.
god I can't wait for Final Fantasy XV to fucking bomb. It's like they think they can get away with selling absolute trash.
I'll laugh when FFVII Remake outsells it. I'll laugh because Persona 5 / KH3 will be vastly superior games.
>>335560202
Even if it's shit, it won't bomb. FFXIII as one of the worst JRPGs ever made sold 7 million.
>>335556015
big empty world is my only fear
>>335560202
if this bombs ffVII is screwed. it'll probably be canceled and SE will file for bankiruptcy.
also
>thinking VII remake will be anything other than dogshit
>>335560445
>le jaded cynicist 4channer meme
How about we just wait and see for once?
>>335560529
I'm jaded?
haha okay.
>>335560598
>h-h-h-ha, it's so obvious I am so I can only try and laugh it off and it comes off even more awkard since I'm laughing at myself
>>335557243
>or even run away if he can't match the enemy
Or if he can't reach you for whatever reason. Eidolons also behave differently depending on their personality: Titan is very devoted and will usually do everything to help you out, but others might ditch you sometimes.
Summon conditions also differ: some summons come when you're low on HP, others only if your party member is dying for example.
>>335557610
That was a CGI model from the early Versus trailers. That provisional design never showed up in any "in-game" footage.
>>335560202
>he will actually laugh out loud and shout about a video game failing
lmao
it probably won't have any soul in it and will most likely end up like FFXIII in terms of leaving you hollow
people are forgetting that this ain't squaresoft anymore
It will be boring and filled with mindless tasks.
>Loved Duscae demo's combat
>Hear they changed it
I haven't had time to try the Platinum Demo yet, are the changes for the better? I loved equipping weapons to different attacks
>>335556015
Shitty jumpy flashy combat with zero depth
Bland and pretty much nonexistant RPG system
Zero variation among boss encounters in terms of mechanics
Scripted flow of bossfights
>>335561125
>m-muh Squaresoft
And? A good chunk of its dev team are Squaresoft veterans, not to mention that people simply get old. You need new devs sometimes.
>>335556015
Road trip aspect seems like a sausage fest. Should have had at least one girl along for the ride to breakup the fujo pandering.
>>335556612
Combat is good, stop with this meme.
>>335556015
Luna will be killed in the last quarter of the game on their delayed wedding night, leading to the unstoppable Plague of the Stars.
>all these sexually insecure betas who never had friends growing up and went on road trips with them
>>335561335
Weapons are now freely switchable and many attacks are direction-sensitive. Watch this for better understanding because it's much deeper than it was in Duscae.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oweIPwR6V4U
>>335561573
We don't really know if the combat is good yet 'cause the only playable demo was just mashing and dodging.
>>335561565
>sausage fest
>being that insecure
I do hope there is variety with characters but fuck sake
>>335561818
>the only playable demo
Also you're wrong, you dumb motherfucker.
https://sites.google.com/site/darkwavestyle/games-research/final-fantasy-xv-platinum-demo
>>335561784
Basically this
Why does every game have to have waifus and love and girls in every scene? Why is it so wrong to explore male friendship when it is rarely done in JRPGs?
I don't understand why people think it needs women in the party.
>>335561485
>Squaresoft veterans
Nah, they moved on to other studios cause like you say, people get old, and with gettin old you realize you can do much better. Look at Uematsu for example
The 'new' devs, and whoever is at the helm at enix had created some pretty bland games over the years imo. But hey, if I'm wrong and the game ends up having soul and is actually enjoyable then that's good
>>335562027
>Why does every game have to have waifus and love and girls in every scene?
Because virgins.
>>335561938
I forgot the descue one but the platinum one was what I was thinking of. And that one doesn't have good combat. Or at least you can't really tell yet. It's just smashing things til they die and teleporting around.
>>335562028
But there are sqauresoft veterans on the team. For example gameinformer just posted an interview today with FFXV's art director who has been at square since FFVI.
>>335562028
Naora, Shinomura, Kamikokuryo, Hasegawa and many others have been key members since the 90s. People really underestimate how many people were needed to make the Squaresoft games as good as they were.
>>335562115
look at the link dickhead
>>335562241
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/04/25/an-inside-look-at-modernizing-the-art-of-final-fantasy.aspx
Based Yusuke Naora. He was the one who gave FFVII, VIII, and X their distinct visual identity.
>>335556015
battle mechanics is bland. party is meh.
no equipment fun
cool urban city locations tho
will get it for 10-15$ few years down the line
>>335562241
Referring to storyboard directors, gameplay, quality control, the other positions
it's good that the guy is still at enix though.
>>335562548
It does have equipment, dummy.
>>335562682
none of them will show on character aside of 4 weapons during attack
it's not fun.
>>335561814
Very interesting, thanks. While I'm sad they removing "creating" a custom weapon basically with choosing what goes on what button. It's still looking very good
>>335557610
who wore it better /v/?
>>335556015
>What's going to go wrong?
Less than you'd think but more than you'd hope
>>335560202
It won't bomb.
Even if you think it's trash (which it isn't, really) you should know that it can't bomb
>>335561125
>it probably won't have any soul in it
From what we've seen that's not the case at all.
>>335562946
which model will be in the game?
>>335563068
The top model is old CG, the bottom is the final in-game model.
gimme back my car you fags
>>335562784
>4 weapons
There are like 15 weapon types, with different weapons for every type. And changeable attire is also in.
>>335562946
Bottom has much better skin shaders
>>335563068
bottom
>>335563449
yeah, and none shown on character and 4 weapons you can equip at the same time is most of equipment system
just gonna dump some stuff
>>335560760
whatever, mister "I want a game to fail for no apparent reason"
>>335563329
>>335563487
Wow, that looks like a fuccboy more than anything else.
I bet there will be a scene where he has to dress up like a girl, just like in FF7
This game has been hyped too much to fail.
Go somewhere else to find your Tortanic 2 cause you won't find it here.
>>335563742
Could you go just 5 minutes without yelling that you're gay? It's so fucking obnoxious.
>>335563748
is it confirmed whether we'll still get to roam around insomnia? i have a bad feeling it'll just be an endgame scripted deal.
>>335563568
See those Accessories and Attire slots in the debug menu? And what do you mean "none shown on character"? You see the attire change right in >>335563449. Most character strengthening is also part of the Promotion category, a.k.a stat and ability growth system.
>>335563884
Wanna fuck?
>>335563959
should be able to before leaving early on
>>335563959
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZYNC4JZ_2c
This trailer shows it in real-time and Gameinformer labelled it as one of the locations we'll be able to visit. It's seen better days, though.
>>335564054
Already got a man. I'm not into skinnyfat neckbeards either.
>>335564018
cause game is relatively soon to release, and there were no screenshots or videos pointing on any equipment being shown on character.
that thing above you mention is costume, not equipment.
Or you'll call costumes in fighting games equipment too?
>>335564182
Pre-apocalyptic settings are the best.
>>335564086
Nah, the game starts with them already on the road.
>>335564120
By far the most beautiful game world I have ever seen what the fuck now my hype is real fuck /v/

he's going to impregnate her and have to work a shit job at choco-king for the rest of his life.
>>335564350
>he actually fell for it
>>335564236
Modern-themed FFs generally don't use the classic "helmet/armor/greaves" equipment and XV is no different for obvious reasons. Stat growth is handled via a separate system.
>>335564120
Really? Insomnia looked the best out of all the cities imo. Frankly Altissia and Tenebrae look like XIV or marginally better. The only thing working in their favor is that it appears they're fully explorable(which, granted is actually a pretty big plus and a return to form for the series).
>>335564182
>>335564280
>>335564307
>yfw majora's mask
>>335562538
Thank fuck.
Maybe he'll funnel that retard Nomura back to what he was like for FFVIII.
>>335564529
Yeah, I get that. I just claimed equipment system being not fun, not that it doesn't exist.
>>335564018
I wish he was just wearing some damn pants.
>>335556701
because it's been a decade
>>335556015
Nothing desu.
>>335564535
Insomnia is interesting, but it's also one of a kind for plot reasons. Most of the world is much poorer and doesn't have fancy magic energy to waste. Even the Lucis territories outside of the crown city are poor and shabby as fuck.
>>335564879
try 5 years.
>>335565240
Oh no I meant graphically. I thought you meant that Insomnia looked better graphically in earlier trailers and that it'd been "downgraded" because that's all people ever talk about on this fucking board.
So anyway yeah, based on your comment it's looking like you just visit a ruined Insomnia once in the endgame and don't really get to explore it or anything. :/
>>335564120
Where'd that art come from?
>>335556015
The combat
>>335564120
It gets me hype.
>>335565481
I don't know if we'll get to see it intact or not; GI just said that we will visit it at some point. For what it's worth, it's not all ruins. In the anime you can hear a news broadcast talking about how Niflheim is putting together provisional government to minimize the damage and let the city go back to normal ASAP. They've conquered several countries and their capitals (like Altissia) are obviously fine.
>>335565630
It's from the Kingsglaive official site. Pic related is another one.
Cidney keeps up with the latest gossip
>>335566095

>>335566095

It will be a masterpiece for one reason.
>Game has multiple endings based on how you treat and build your friendship with your friends.
>Will you abandon them, or will you all join together
>>335566712
>It will be a masterpiece because of a feature that's not in the game
>>335566712
>>335566798
this 2bh :^)
>>335566712
It officially has only one and "very definitive" ending. And knowing Tabata and the game's themes, everybody probably dies.
>>335566982
Nope, thats the thing.
They had one ending but decided to make two so you have a reason to do bonding stuff in camps other then higher damage etc.
Noct can sacrifice himself, or everybody can band together to save the day.
>Noct is a living magiceite.
>To put an end to Edioln abuse he chooses his fate.
Basically they Harry Potter the shit. Its FF6 sorta.
>>335563449
you're replying to sheath-kun, damn it.
>>335558218
>movie
When did that ever do good things for them?
>>335568567
Advent Children made them a ton of money and basically introduced FFVII to a new generation of players. Movies work fine for them as long as they make them videogame-related and don't build whole new studios.
>>335556015
Well, it's not a Final Fantasy game, for one. For two, it's loaded with advertising for Coleman.
>>335567241
Where do you get all this XV-sama?
>>335567241
I know we're not gonna get any source for that, but fine, I'll bite. Source?
>>335567735
>batmobile
that looks so fuckin lit f a m
Honestly though from the demo and some footage, everything EXCEPT the combat looks satisfying which is a kinda bad.
I'll probably still get it though.
>>335562946
Is that Cloud?
>>335567241wtf this actually almost sounds believable
>>335557089
it's a webm, anon. it loops. it only cuts once.
>>335570947
I think he means in all the promotional material we've seen.
We always get a cut right before his fist connects
>>335570534
Only until you get to the "Eidolon abuse". For starters XV doesn't call them eidolons, and as far as we know most of them don't give a fuck about humans and don't participate in human affairs at all.
>>335556015

>Swiggety Swooty, comin' for that booty.
>>335577119
In June.
Then other ones will air every month after that
>>335577453
>months for a 10 minute long shitty anime
o-ok
>>335577453
So in July we will get both Kingsglaive and Ignis' Brotherhood episode, huh. Pretty packed.
>>335577768
They're coordinating it with other stuff, like the movie and expo showings.
>>335556015

>>335578763
>found the fag
>>335566095
I can't tell if she was flirting with him or teasing him or both. and I also can't tell if he's nervous at the end because he knows she's flirting or because she mentioned Luna and he's all beta about MUH FEELINGS
>>335579271
Neither. She's being friendly and he's feeling awkward because a) he never asked for this (was forced into a political marriage for the greater good), and b) her grandfather is supposed to be his father's good friend and yet they barely communicate.
Draw distance and pop-in are going to go wrong. Then there will be stuttering in certain areas. We'll also get blurry textures as they couldn't keep the quality. That's before looking at how short it will be and how simple and forgiving the new combat system is. It's going to be another FFXIII, just with more hype so we can be properly disappointed this time around.
>>335581876
>we
>>335581876
Why do you have to be so bitter?
We already know that the game isn't going to be short and the battle system seems fine even if it is easier than some other games.
Pop-ins are probably going to be in the game but they were in Xenoblade X and weren't really a problem there

>>335584668
Creating extra warp points with style.
>>335584668
Placing warp points for Noctis. The same thing he did in the Niflheim trailer. But Noctis seems to perform the cuhraazee shit after he marked the warp points.

How tall do you think Titan is? About 50 stories?
>>335588415
Hard to say without proper calculation. Gotta love how they carry tiny Noctis, though.
>>335589676
Then how tall are those trees? They're just below the knee level of Titan
>>335578921
>>335584401
Prompto needs to adjust all the time with that Behemoth he's got.
>>335589817
Those trees seem to be about 50 feet, so Titan could be 200 feet tall, considering his proportions. That would make him as tall as a 20 story building.

0/10 cancerous shit that only whyfoo faggots will claim as good.
>>335556015
I would guess a lot of really stupid plot points because FF tends to have developed combat systems but this FF has been in development hell for a while. I think its another XIII.
>>335562027
I agree, but no matter how you see it, it is weird a men only team in an rpg.
Almost every rpg from the beginning has had a woman in the pc team. A notable exception would be dragon quest 1, but theres only 1 hero there.
>>335590524
They better make some Godzilla-shit DLC where we can pitch summons against summons in Insomnia
>>335592494
If i'm not mistaken the Ultima series has been woman free unless you pick your avatar as female
>>335592696
Ok, if thats true then you got me there.
Still, to me, i can live without girls in my jrpgs, but sausagefests will be always weird.
>>335592584
Not sure how it'd work. Summons are generally neutral in this game and even Noctis gains some measure of control over them only because it's in their interest to not die in the upcoming apocalypse.
>>335592898
Fuck, one quick google search later shows me i'm full of shit
Well, whatever, i don't care either way, i'm just glad that this time around i'm actually caring about everyone, i guess that's the advantage of having only 4 party members

>>335582360
>we already know the game is going to be short
But that's wrong you fucking retard
The main story itself is confirmed to be ~50 hours of game time
Square is notorious for including superbosses that take a ton of endgame time to grind
Completionism for this game is going to be a minimum of 150 hours.
>>335598456
True. Even Cidney, whose grandpa knew the king personally, gets starstruck only because he's "Lady Lunafreya's fiance". Tabata did say that politically, Noctis' status is well below Luna's overall.

You realize summons will be story related events that you won't be able to do at will right?
>>335561335
Yeah it's better. The basic attack strings work the same as in the demo, but it's a lot quicker, and rather than having weapons assigned to specific attacks, you've now got a "deck" of four assigned to each button on the d-pad that you can freely switch between on the fly. It's a lot more satisfying.
>>335605335
Acquiring them will be.
The webm was of Titan doing an attack which can be done at any time
>>335605305
Seems that way to me too. Looks fine in the original video, though.
http://youtu.be/R_j7DNLNN7E
>>335605335
Summons work like normal FF summons in XV, just better integrated and even more impressive than usual. You can even see the name of his attack (Gaia's Wrath) pop up in >>335556221. The Duscae demo also let you summon Ramuh during normal battles.
>>335604029
They've done an amazing job at defining the part members' personalities, particularly Ignis and Prompto. Prompto jumps around trying to look cool in battle, whilst Ignis sticks close to Noctis and actively tries to cover him. It's those kind of details that help you invest in a character.
>>335558385
Hopefully
>>335603125
>That titan gif alone looks more ambitious than anything in any game.
now that is a shitpost
>>335606686
Yeah, wish more game devs were paying attention to stuff like that. And it's consistent across the media too. In the anime Noctis and Ignis stick up for each other, while Prompto needs someone to save his ass. But considering how powerful Noctis is, no wonder he has no problem covering for him.
I was indifferent to this game for the longest time. Now that it's actually coming and I've played the demo I have no qualms. Pure hype. Whatever faults it may have, it looks like plenty of fucking heart and ambition has gone in.
>The demos
>The gameplay trailers
>Episode 1 of Brotherhood

I like that they're going all out. The release date is going to feel like an event.
>>335606610
I wonder how they're going to balance the summoning mechanic so it doesn't just become "Spam [Titan/Bahamut/Alexander/Shiva]" to win every fight.
>>335608501
Make it eat xp.
>>335608501
There are different conditions for using each summon so you can't just spam them all the time. They certainly won't be as strong as Ramuh was in ED either.
Why do people keep saying the combat isn't responsive compared to KH2? Is it the shitty framepacing thats throwing people off caude honestly aside from that i have very little qualms with the combat from the demo.
Legit,
>>335608501
See >>335560839. They will probably start ignoring you if try spamming them.
>>335594158
>top kek cap
>>335609710
Because of the framepacing, which leads to slowdowns, which leads to a feeling of unresponsiveness. It's fine, but definitely needs some improvements and i hope they'll fix it and not just ignore it like most Fromsoft games.
But people will tell you that there's no input lag, framerate problems and framepacing issues anyway, for some reason. You're just not allowed to say something against this game
>>335610756
The framepacing issue is only in the PS4 version of the game so they've probably fixed it by now.
>>335610756
Speaking of FromSoft how does the pace of FFXV's combat compare to Bloodborne? Never played the latter but kinda interested.
>>335611191
It's hard to comapre the combat system are too different. If we're just talking about movement speed then BB is a little slower than FFXV on the ground and of course BB has no air combat which can be quite fast in FFXV, BB also holds more of a steady pace when it comes to attack and movement speed in FFXV you can upgrade the speed of your attacks and shit.
>>335611089
>PS4 version
I thought it was for both wtf?
>>335611512
Where was it confirmed you could upgrade your attack speed in the full game? Genuinly curious

Why has Armiger become so shit now compared to this?
They had everything this game needed to be a good action rpg.
Anyone have an idea lf the world size? Ive seen that map, but can't place anything to it.
Any word of city size too? They showed that Tokyo looking district and would be a cocktease not to explore.
>>335617671
It's huge, but most of it is just mountains and water and i doubt you can explore every inch of every city since you can't just warp around in a city or crash into it with your car. It's still more story than world focued like most FF games
>>335556015
Game will have proven to never have properly made it out of the concept design phase and feature elements that just don't work together, tons of streamlining and barely any interactive game play beyond just mash X. It's obvious in how they keep trying to distract potential players with all this irrelevant BS like flying cars, giant monsters and summons and side projects like the movie and cell phone games. There's so much focus on pointless features like guys high fiving each other warp stabbing and not enough on core gameplay aspects and it's cause for concern IMO. Persona 5 is probably going to be the real JRPG that lasts while FFXV I'm expecting to be very shiny but utterly lacking in everything but empty hype.
>>33555670
I don't want it to fail but I can tell the priorities behind this game are way off base just in how it's being promoted and that it's going to receive extremely mixed feedback that splits the fanbase worse than XIII ever did. They've done any amazing job trying to distract people from all the signs though it's easy when people are so easy to be pumped full of hype by showing them enough random flashy shit at key intervals. If anything they probably over compensated
>>335561385
You can pretty much count on it
>>335564236
I'm not sure people should expect things like equipment and items and inventory to have to worry about or manage. FF seems to be trying to get away from that sort of stuff because it confuses casual gamers used to just slapping a couple of guns and perks on their avatar before going into team death match hardcore

Both Duscae and PD's Armiger were shitty as fuck, I'm not sure what they're doing to this game at this point.
>>335584094
Oh so you actually will be able to control the others?
The game will be one of those ones that's popular for maybe a month as the Kotakus of the industry fulfill their quota of non threatening news ads for the game and it enjoys its new release hype bubble and then just kind of die in a sea of whiny fan anger, outrage and proclamations that Square will never see another cent of their money again until the next game comes out and the cycle begins anew with another best seller disappointment. Gaming scene is hilarious that way nowadays. I just can't wait to see how much of what I've predicted comes to pass or not and where the surprises lie as people fulfill their roles they don't even know they're playing.
>>335619834

>>335620675
Noctis can do that real time now though
The question is how good they will implement it; in the ATR it looked rough as shit.

>>335620579
Oh hey it's the pre show guy, felt kinda bad for him
>>335556015
They're going to have to scrap development and start production all over again to make the game for the PS4.5.
There will never be a new FF game because their game development literally takes longer than game console lifespans.
>tfw these slick weapon icons are replaced by some mobile-tier shitty ones
Honestly though, even this one looked better
>>335621360
How many fucking times did they change the UI
>>335621437
a-fucking-lot
>>335621628
I liked to UI before it turned into circles the best, it just looks weird that the right side is still rectangles while the mini map and weapon select are circles yet the prty commands are also rectangles. it's all over the place
>>335621803
It's the curse of this game I think. Out of all options and possibilities that are already there, Tabata and his team just keep choosing the worst ones.
>>335617959
>he thinks his Persona shill opinion matters
>>335621803
>it just looks weird that the right side is still rectangles while the mini map and weapon select are circles yet the prty commands are also rectangles
Even worse is how the weapon icons are really far away from the edge of the screens because of the party command icons. Since they seem to change the UI every other week hopefully they'll fix that.
>>335564280
thought it was a skull from the thumbnail.
>>335556015
gameinformer confirmed that the car automatically gets pulled towards the road so you can't really drive it freely.
So it seems like it is literally just press forward and watch 4 guys in a car
>>335623691
They also confirmed it's still possible to go offroad even if the car doesn't want to.
>>335623823
well they sure didn't make it sound like you can get very far of the road. Probably not further than a couple feet from how disappointed they sounded.
>>335624410
That shouldn't be too big of a problem once you get the flying car, even though it probably won't be flyable everywhere.
>>335624410
Their disappointment stemmed from the fact that the car "preferred" to stay on the road, implying that the open world/sidequests had lower priority and thus less content/polish than the main scenario. Everybody's still just spooked from shitfest XIII that the barest hint of linearity gets blown out of proportion
>>335607648
Prove me wrong, no for real.
>>335625182
>implying that the open world/sidequests had lower priority and thus less content/polish than the main scenario
There'll probably be detours for sidequests, since they were driving on a dirt road in the trailer with the Adamantoise.
>>335625337
It's your opinion right? So i doubt he can
>>335625521
I mean if he can show me epic moments in games like that, that are player controlled.
Closet thing that looks like that titan is Cronos from God of war 3 but that ENTIRE fight was scripted and filled with QTEs, which is why XV is a bit more impressive becuase we have that control now.
>>335625778
The GoW thing is actually more impressive because as limited as it is its still interactive and on a last gen console. Titan can be summoned but after that its basically a cutscene just like any other FF summon
FFVI = MG
FF VII = MGS
FF VIII = MGS2
FF IX = MGS3
FF X = MGS4
FF XII + LIGHTNING STUFF = MGS PEACE WALKER
FF XV = MGS V
>>335619317
Agreed
>>335626316
It still is real time and can be summoned anywhere and even used on other summons (Like past FFs) there will be events where summons fight on their own in the background, ALA leviathan sequence out in the open of altissia or the Titan fight out in duscae, those are just two. They also spoke lightly of monster climbing mechanics, Plus the warping/air combat will make the giant fights make sense, instead of most RPGS/Action games where its attacking the feet or QTES.
>>335619317
>>335626753
His stuff is very hit or miss. A lot of his best work imo is battle themes and short shit that looped. He's good at making simple melodies that don't get annoying. A lot of composers in video games often tend to overdo it when it comes to looping music.

You're telling me you don't like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XR9szrzY0k

I think that was more like attacking individual body parts of larger enemies.
>>335567735

>>335584094
who jojo here
>>335627534
You can target other body parts yes,
You can also break off monster body parts such as a behemoth horn,
But you can also do some type of parkour on them look at ignis in my webm, they never talked about it but it was hinted at before.
>>335594692
where
>>335625778
Shadow of the Colossus you fucking memer
Now kill yourself
>>335630924
Yea SoTc and Dragons Dogma have monster climbing, but like I said FFXV Has some form of it too, but Air combat is also a better solution and isn't nearly as redundant. You have full control in the air and can target different parts of bodies.
>>335626431
Where is MG2 Solid Snake?
>>335630924
Also to add SoTc was completely based on that feature. It is literally monster climbing the game, and its just a smaller part of FFXV, making it even more amazing.

maybe you can change the UI? why the fuck would there be so many different versions
>>335567735
I'm kinda nervous about all those open fields. Not (just) because of lack of content, but because when you make everything realistically scaled, it's that much harder to suspend disbelief when you're talking about capitol cities in major world powers literally being a mountain range or two away from each other. Making the geography denser ala Skyrim would've alleviated this somewhat but it seems they haven't even done that. I feel like it's going to be seriously immersion-breaking.

God the twilight scenes in this game are so beautiful, especially considering games usually fuck that type of lighting up. I guess it has to do with the hardcore pbr they've got going on, although ironically it kinda wrecks the exposure on their daytime scenes.
>>335556015
Who knows. Square Enix always gets something wrong somehow.
>>335633545

Fuck i forgot about that, wait wasn't this off road info also known since 2014?
Either way never mind my annoyance hyped again, but btw what were impressions of the controls for he car itself?
>>335634538
>>335633937
What are you people on about? The only thing gameinformer said was about the demo, which square told them the car won't be available to drive in the demo because they didn't want to represent the game as a driving game.
you cans till control the car as noctis on your own, or auto drive as ignis. we've seen the car get damaged, so it's possible that you can damage it off road.
the airship will be fully controllable around the entire world map. but the conditions to getting it are very challenging according to them.
>>335636473
>>335623691
This fag above mentioned you gain little to zero control on off road sections in the game with the car, which is rather meh, how is that hard to understand anon.
>>335637450
If you'd actually listened to the podcast or hell, even read the thread, you'd realize that you have full control offroad, it's just that the car tends to "snap" back towards the road so people are reading way into it and assuming that it's basically the devs telling you "yeah no there's nothing to see over there just stay on the road bro"
It's likely that the main reason for the "snapping" behavior has more to do with letting you pan the camera, play with the radio, etc. without having to worry about crashing or whatever.
>>335637837
"Q: Can I drive the car on certain roads?
A: It will not be possible to drive off the roads. To explore the rest of the environment you have to go out on foot or, for example, ride a chocobo. FFXV will include other means of transportation as well like the train we’ve already seen before. There will be no subways, however."

The “off road” driving is probably just limited to some dirt roads that is accessible via an opening from the road rails/guardrails/the steel thing that is usually on the sides on the roads (I'm not sure what you folks call it). You can find one in episode duscae as well if I were not mistaken.

If you go into a game expecting shit to go wrong you're already going in with a negative mindset. Not saying being critical is a bad thing but one should try to give every game the benefit of the doubt. Tbh that is easier said than done at times though.
