Doesn't look that bad to be honest. Okay, graphic definitely need some touch up, but at least the battle system looks good.

Looks good to me. I'm back on the train after this vid.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Especially what some might argue is the flagship JRPG. I just feel like this game's tone based on this video is really at odds with itself.
It absolutely does not. It used to, but they've made a lot of changes to the game's lighting to get it running. City looks a lot deader than in the PC trailers as well.

This. Worst design yet. I knew they would try to make him look like his dad (the new design mind you) when they look nothing alike.
Overall thoughts:
Opening is very flat. Its meant to dreading and captivating but they could cut it and nothing of value would be lost. They are really pushing this all for one idea and at times its really cringey. Like guys, you don;'t have to do everything together.
Biggest disappointment is the lack of CGI. especially for the opening. Is VisualWorks even doing anything for this game? The graphics need some notable improvement as well. Unacceptable for PS4 tbh and definite downgrade from Duscae.
Gameplay looks great, wonder how rewarding exploration will be. Bit worried about the direction of the story...seems like tombhunting is the drive when I expected more pressure from other plotlines. I'll let it slide since its only the first few hours.
Of course. I would never compare a PC game to a console one.
Besides vegetation density, there is nothing in The Witcher 3 that looks better to FFXV.

Yeah! It needs more polish. I hope they're also cooking up something for the Neo but before that I want them to do everything that's humanly possible on the base versions.

They just have to implement it the right way because the flak they're going to receive if they do a classic world map are from the current gen of gamers who did not grow up playing those old Final Fantasies and are more used to Witcher, GTA, Elder Scrolls type open worlds.
Looks pretty crappy overall. Cindy is grosser than ever. Combat is not that good-looking. Interactions between the cast seem like artificial filler. You have your own "collect a thing" points on the map, just like every other open world game. Bunch of derp quests.
Two months could give them time to fix the technical jank, but it certainly won't fix the story and characters, or the game design. Good luck with that.

i've seen other people do dumb things man, but yeah I wholeheartedly agree that this is above witcher 3 (on ps4) I'm still hyped for the game, sucks the delay happened but hey i get to play DQ7 and WoFF before hand.
No that's fine, I wouldn't expect to hear southern accents in any FF game, but not saying it's a terrible thing... just odd (the poor VO's themselves don't help)
lol whats up with all the sliding in this game
Pretty sure they mentioned they got mixed feedback on some people thinking the demos were too easy and others too hard, so they would add an Easy and Hard Mode to the game.
Maybe I'm thinking of something else?
This part was great, so I stopped and made a gif. The nighttime continues to look perfect in this game and I love the serrated scenery in the distance.
The music made this fight feel way more freaky than it should have. Queen Yoko knocking it out of the park with this game's soundtrack. 🙏

I watched the whole thing you guys. I skipped the first 10 seconds but... yeah. This looks really good. I'm kind of shocked it even needed a delay cause it looks like something I'd be happy playing. Casual outfits are amazing!
You mean Prompto.
He's inexperienced in battle. He does all the sliding and flashy stuff because he thinks it's cool, and because he's not a very technical guy. That's his thing.
The Xbox One version looked considerably worse than the PS4 version, I noticed. After a while I could tell which version is which without looking at the buttons first. Starker hair dithering, worse ground textures, hardly, if any, anisotropic filtering and especially in Duscae you could compare how much scarcer the gras and bushes were on the Xbox One. The PS4 version looked fortunately not much different to the Duscae Demo though and not nearly as bad as the screenshots they've shown us in the past months.
Also, am I crazy or does it look as if you can freely costumize the clothing? o . O It looked even as if you could change the coloring... They said there were alternate outfits but not to this extent.

came out with a positive outlook after watching this video
hype regained
although
the acting with iris and noctis is godfuckingawful
the voiceacting in general is pretty shoddy
xbox one version looks hella blurry (ps4 looks better although not thaaaat much better)
please give this game some good AA
that makes sense

But the reviewers would probably complain about performance issues cause they wouldn't be playing with the day one patch.

Finished the video. The game looks to be a great game (trying not ro fanbiy here). I liked the characters and story. A lot of pop-ups though.
Waiting for the final release.

Yeah it's definitely intentional.
In Duscae you hear people commenting about their luxury car, just like you would expect if you took a Lamborghini to some countryside gas station in the middle of nowhere.
"Final Fantasy XV: It's Better Than Nothing!"
The fps when they enter the next city....

Ah fuck 'em.
Ni No Kuni did it beautifully.
Why the fuck doesn't Tales of look like this on current gen hardware? T_T
I just want Tales to be as good as it was when Vesperia came out T_T

I really hope this game comes to pc eventually.
It's a world map. The game isn't open world.

Dynamic resolution 900p - 1080p on PS4, less on XB1.
Also, the video is a mix of PS4 and XB1 footage so it looks worse at times because of that.

By the way, at the end of the video (52:14) is this scene with Ardyn from the Uncovered trailer: https://youtu.be/CX5D4Fenz5g?t=40s
In the Uncovered trailer, he says: "I can guide you -- in fact, only I can." to which Ignis replies "What are you plotting?"
But in this video Ardyn goes on about the Archaean instead and Ignis doesn't say a thing. That means the English script is either vastly different from the Japanese (which would sadly lead to unmatching subtitles) or they were still rewriting stuff back in March (which would confirm some of the negativity from the first 4chan leak).

Ni No Kuni was open world in the classic FF sense. But I was just saying that one of the complaint for FFXV is that the world is barren and doesn't have much things going in it. A classic FF map wouldn't have solved this issue.

Can I say that the amount of variety in the enemies is astounding? gotta say I like the fact that flands, piscodemons (Mindflayers), arachnae, ff1 style scorpions and Zuu are in brought in great detail in this game?

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Npcs in the Witcher 3 look leagues better, and somehow, the lip sync in W3 is even better. I'll give this game character animation but in the current state it's quite unpolished, especially the animations they use for non cutscene conversations, particle effects are comparable as well. Lighting in TW3 looks a lot better especially during character close ups. Duscae gave Witcher 3 a run for it's money. This video however certainly do the game any favors.

On comments like this... As somebody who played this demo for 4+ hours I have to say: I feel there's more this situation than just waiting for a day one patch to tighten up frame rate and such. The build was extremely unstable and all over the place. When it was running well it was a dream, but it crashed on me several times, and a boss outright broke making progression impossible twice... on something meant to be a gold master. If all that happens to one guy in the first 4 hours and there's 60 hours of game, how much more was there to fix? It's not just about frame rate, IQ, textures, it's also about stability, and SE obviously isn't going to include hard crashes etc in a PR video. This is why the delay is a really, really good thing.
I loved the game, especially the combat which I feel finally has the agency I've wanted it to, but it needed a lot more work. While I can't peer into Tabata's mind I think to be honest this was less about 'we can't let offline players play without the day one patch' in an age when like 95% of consoles are connected and more about 'a day one patch built in 3 weeks won't be able to fix some of the major issues we have well enough'. The game just needed more time.
