Made a thread for the frame pacing issues, hopefully it catches fire.
He just doesn't think there should be parts of the world in the game that clearly "exist" (e.g. are referenced by others, exist on the map) but that you can't get a taste of at all.

Looks like there is another patch since it is hard to say Falk is wrong here. Fingers crossed there are improvements in it even if the base PS4 version seems fine to me.
before you read the newspaper of insomnia falling. Also when you talk to iris about the attack.

Legit no lie, that Pro video killed my hype for the game.
Shits unacceptable. I could even handle Judgment Demo lite mode? But that stutter is insane.

It's just annoying how this patch sounds like, with everything included, it'll significantly improve the game. I'm just worried that reviewers won't keep that in mind, and that it'll score lower than it deserves, or that reviewers will spread outdated information. I've never hyped up a game that's open-world or has had a significant Day 1 patch before so I'm a little nervous. IMO SE was dumb to not delay it a little more so reviewers could experience these giant improvements.
It isn't as bad in motion as it is in that video but it is still noticeable.
But they're right to do that, if the difference is that big. They have to review the version they have, not the one that's promised.
That said, most of the improvements from the Crown patch are already available.

You decided to look at these old impressions, lol. It is not just hold O to win, trust me. Read the impressions from other GAF members
I'm thinking about cancelling my pre-order, so I'd like some spoiler impressions on this question.
What kind of non-landscape terrain can you fight normal enemies in? Most of what I've seen has been boring rocky forest landscapes. I want more interesting stuff like the sewers we saw in the Judgement Demo, or something cool like fighting in the streets of a city. Most of the interesting environments seem to be story specific and therefore you can't go back to them at will.

I don't want them to actually build a massive to scale world. What I want is to know every single country, what people of that country typically wear, what sort of basic culture they have... Like,
This is hard to explain, and I don't understand why. Basically, there should be nothing major in a JRPG world that I didn't see. It's perfectly fine to just have a little port town from some northern continent that isn't a part of the main story, that is like 1 street, 2 shops, one pub, but it's a microcosm of that entire continent. by visting this small place through a loading screen from some other harbor on the main continent, I know that there is this northern continent, people generally dress in such and such here and their architecture is sort of like this.
Basically,as stated, I wnat to see every single Race and culture in that world, even if it's just a small little disney ride-esque diorama of it, instead of an entire explorable continent.
This plus them not sending out many review copies. I don't get it.
It's not a mess and it's not that easy. The biggest detractor is the camera. But once you get the hang of it can be really fun. It isn't the deepest combat system out there and it's not up there with Devil May Cry/Bayonetta. But for an open world game of this size it's only second behind Dragons Dogma for me, but at least in FFXV you're fighting a lot more interesting monsters.

Well from what people are saying, the environmental music change isn't in, warping outside of battle isn't in (this seems pretty huge IMO...), the Omen-inspired moves don't seem to be in, and I'm not sure what else. The scenario/town structure thing seems interesting?
I think more than enough people have said that the combat is quite good. If anyone honestly thinks its press O to win they must be playing on easy and over leveling everything.
But X-2 was awesome.

If that's true, and there is a level of complexity and thought you have to put into combat then all is fine. It's the thing you do for the majority of the game so it's pretty damn important.
Even when you're over level it takes a while to kill things. I was like lvl 24 doing a lvl 19 hunt and i almost got my ass handed to.
Hunts will take you to different places. Altissia at the very least has hunts in non-wilderness areas.
I don't think anyone's gotten that far yet to comment on that.

Here is a video to help you imagine the frustration I tried to express with them assigning X as the action button and the Jump button lol. TheLastFantasy posted a video on it on Twitter. This gets pretty frustrating after a while lol.

That is old
Yea this is really annoying.
Guys, I hate to be a Debbie Downer. But I have to be. I finished Chapter 4 and this game is just doing nothing for me.
I am a pretty huge fan of Final Fantasy. Played thru 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14. Didn't finish part 13.
But this game just doesn't have an ounce of charm. The characterization is almost non-existent, beyond your most basic modern-day anime archetypes.
Maybe it gets better, but I have done a ton of side-quests and put about 10 hours into the game. It really lacks any fun-factor. Maybe it's just a less-compelling universe than the other installments? I don't know.

Damn even if I got spoiled for what I think to be one major twist, even if the impressions are all over the place, even if I ignored the game for years since it went radio silent before the Versus XIII to XV change, even if there are issues with the game...
I'm getting caught up by the hype. It's been too long since I played a FF game, and I remember them being special events (I have fond memories of the FF VIII, IX and X launch. Hell even if XII is my least favourite of them, the expectation and hype was through the roof) and I kind of crave that. I was burnt by FFXIII I played from launch, but if the game is just better than that, I'll play it.
Plus, French dubs. It'll be hilarious.
How did you get the Amazon steelbook that early ? It's gorgeous.

Mayyyybe I'd have payed 70 last saturday. But now with the launch being in 4 days, no way José.
That Amazon steelbook special edition is looking great <3

Did no one here play it on Pro? Is it really that bad? The video by the way only shows the LQ Pro mode stuttering, maybe the HQ Pro mode is just fine. And the HQ mode is one actually needs...
I've played on Pro and its super variable at times. It's not constantly like that as far as I can tell.
It's incredibly easy, I'm on the very last chapter and I have yet to see the Game Over screen, dying is only possible if you're not trying. There are a million different ways you can escape death in this game.

Anyway to make directional attacks not camera based?
Same. The money I'd have spent is better used towards the Switch if anything lol

Just ran into a hilarious but immersion-breaking glitch in a cutscene where enemies kept trying to attack us during our conversation lol
It's fine. About 11 hours in now and it's never been a detriment to gameplay.

So is it bearable? Did you by chance play the Judgment demo on Pro too and can compare it? People were complaining about framepacing there too and I thought it was perfectly fine and hardly noticed anything.
Ah, thanks! So it's mostly just overblown drama as usual.

It's been out in some places in Paris and Amazon FR started to send the steelbook for premium members.

I'm actually going to hold off on buying the game until I get a clearer picture on how it runs on Pro.
I'm super hyped for it. But TLG is 6 days later. I'm not about to go into something that's even worse then the Judgment Demo. I like you FFXV, but I don't Bloodborne like you.

Arghl I'm a Premium member why didn't I preorder ._.
Your fun with this game (if you have any) won't be related to framerate.

Believe me I'm not that kind of person, the game is just easy.

Rationally speaking except if you want the game on the release day in a collector edition, yes it is stupid.
But I'm not rational for some games.
I also preordered Persona 5 but I know the game is great.
