Eh? Cor and Gladiolus doesn't, and Ignis just looks stupid in a non-Bieber esque way.

The scale of this game is just... wow
Just finished watching both vids on my TV. The size of the environment and those giant dinosaur-like monsters was really is a bit enchanting.
And the naga looks so threatening.

Yeah, it's a nice loop but not for 10 minutes straight. I know they've gotta have more songs completed by this point... was kind of dumb to use something so short.
1) IIRC, it's been said that that is NOT the field music (for this area), just something that they are using for now. It sounds so dramatic that it might be some music for a specific event or certain type of dramatic moment/combat scenes, not necessarily you'll-hear-this-for-10-hours field music at all.
2) apparently they've put the track on a short loop, but there is more to it so it'll probably be some 3-5 minute loop instead of the 1-1,5 minute loop in the walkthrough.

Last "new" FF I played was XII, and I never beat it....I recently (past 2 years) beat FFIX finally, and now I need to beat FFX....so I'm a little out of the loop with the FF series. I had heard a bunch of smack talk about FFXIII from friends. It looks nice, but something about it doesn't interest me as much as I thought.
This though.....glob....I haven't read a single thing about it, and have only seen a few videos....but it looks amazing to me. I can only imagine the large open worlds with cities to match, with the level of polish the FF series is know for. Or, at least what I remember they were like..

Finally got around to watching these. Looks graphically impressive and most of the negatives (mostly in world reflection and shadow/texture pop in) will be resolved before launch. When that is will be anyone's guess, but I'm hoping for late 2015 at this rate. It was also nice to see this in a much higher fidelity so it was easier to make out more of the locations, monsters, and more subtle details.

I hope that music is more than just a ~25 second loop because it got old in just that 10 minutes for me.
EDIT: Okay, it is, good.

I have no experience whatsoever with both the Final Fantasy series and Xenoblade, but judging from both their gameplay footage, THIS is how you do the faces (though I'm not fan of their "punkish" design itself). I still can't phantom how bad they are in Xenoblade X compared to the beautiful environments in there. I honestly thought I was looking at two different games.
Despite that, when all is said and done, I'm probably going to buy Xenoblade X because I already own a Wii U and because Monolith are said to be spec wizards (can´t say I disagree with Xenoblade running on the Wii in the first place).

The problem with Xenoblade is not that the faces look bad, it's just that the art is great, but it doesn't translate well into 3D. Which is a problem that many people still run into, specially when characters are a little "anime" in style.
Also, Square is not exactly behind Monolith in terms of tech, their AAA titles tend to be among the most impressive for the console.

Seriously, the lighting makes it look almost real. Even my wife commented on it and she never says shit about graphics.
I think Monolith pared down model detail because they got lots of stuff going on (e.g. giant mechs) and Wii U isn't nearly as powerful as the PS4.

lol I know right? I mean, do they even know what Final Fantasy even is? They just throw a car in there and then pretend that it's no big deal, like the series has been using cars for almost 20 years now, what a bunch of idiots. lol

Please release on PC too. Please PC too. PC too. PC too, please?
Otherwise I cant play it...

Final Fantasy games have been releasing on PC since FF7. I have no doubt this will be released on PC, a year after consoles maybe, like GTAV.
I'm pretty sure people who make this kind of comments never played a FF in the past 20 years, which is a freaking long time.
Would be smarter to just do it all simultaneously...
But those moneyhats, they are seductive...

Pretty much.
Or a person who just doesn't know what FF is in general.
It's coming out on Xbone and PS4, who would moneyhat specifically to not put it on PC?

Already confirmed to be customizable.
Demo is confirmed for March. So at least we get a taste.
The car looks like it's based on the Cadillac Ciel, and we can customize the car anyway.
Funnily enough Ciel is French for Sky, Noctis's family name "Caelum" is Latin for Sky, and also the word "l'Cie" is an anagram of Ciel.
Okay guys, you're right! I've only beaten FF2 and FF9 so there's no way I know everything! Thanks for the references. I just found it kind of jarring from what I had expected to see.
Demo did look incredible, but it seems the upload quality wasn't nearly as good as it would look in person.

IMO opinion the sense of traveling and exploration left the FF series after the PS1 era and moved towards a more cinematic direction. The actual traveling via airship or car was missing.
FFVX seems poised to bring that sense of traveling back to the franchise. I'm excited.
Yes, nothing more disgusting and fetish-y as black blazers with black shirts, black vests and dark trousers!
Agreed the rest were really linear and I hate that in a ff game.

Game looks damn good. I can't believe it is actually in game. It seems like a concept video for a game years ago where the real game would never be this good.
I actually think the opposite, how good it looks for a game 1+ year away from release.
They're not still trying to figure out the BS, they're just porting old assets to the new engine and probably finishing animations for the end-game segments, but concept and mechanics wise it's not a prototype anymore.
Also, as the introduction to the walkthrough says itself, enemies and events were removed because they just wanted to show the landscape.
And of course they haven't decided on LOD, res, frame rate etc., game is still in alpha phase. Not even the March demo will have everyting finalized.
You missed the bare-chested with a shiny black leather vest, half opened look? And, well, "emo" applies to all of them obviously.

I still don't understand why dressing yourself in black means you're emo and a member of a j-pop group.
They turned events and most monsters off for the video, this area is probably already populated, they just didn't show.
Combat is probably done already, they are just designing enemies and bosses. And most of the concept for the game is already created, they just need to actually put everything in place and finish porting things to Luminous. It looks far from done, but if they're showing us the game every month it's not THAT long.

Can't tell if serious, or elaborate parody of troll.
That is one of them, isn't it? One barely makes a "fetish party", and isn't really worse than what other FF characters has worn in the past. I mean Barret has an open vest? Vaan has an open vest? Fang is basically wearing a sports brah and a sash. Fran was wearing nothing much either!
I'm still not seeing the crisis.
It's a nice quality video but youtube still compresses the hell out of it. It'll be nice to see the actual game in person next year with that demo.
I've been impressed with this game on a technical level since it's PS4 re-unveiling , still neat to see the actual engine under it all.

It looks great, I hope they can find a better AA solution. This may very well be the prettiest game I've seen, if they manage to fix that issue.
Didn't they say that a lot of stuff were deactivated for this tech demo in particular? like mostly all enemies, npc's and some other stuff, they just wanted to focus on the scale of the map with this presentation.

Glad the game looks great, but hope it's actually fun to play. FFXIII looked great too but was boring in terms of gameplay.
