I know, I know, just haven't had the time and money, and I think if I'll have, I would play Persona 5 first. Haven't even played Zelda yet either, which is the first time in my life that I didn't get a new Zelda on launch. This time I'm really not willing to cash out 400 just for one game, especially so soon after having gotten a Pro for FFXV. Maybe I'll borrow my buddy's Switch someday.What are you waiting for? O: Horizon Zero Dawn is an awesome game. After FFXV disappointed me in so many ways, it was Horizon that unexpectedly gave me all that and more. It has an epic story that is really well told, with great characters, especially Aloy. It has a vast and beautiful open world with so many different types of regions, tribes and towns and the combat against the mechanical beasts is on point, an absolute blast and it never gets old. Last but not least the sidequests aren't mere monster hunts or fetch quests, but actual side stories, that flesh out the game's world and lore. They are not as great as in the Witcher 3, but they are so, so much better than in FFXV. You should really give it a try.
XV is my first final fantasy game and I love it. I never play JRPGs so I don't really have any previous experience to compare it too which probably helps.
The production is absolutely insane in this game, especially the way they animate muscle on the bigger enemies.

Ironically, I've been playing FFXV again a bit every other day or so since last week, which I wouldn't have expected since I was feeling pretty down on it recently and assumed I wouldn't enjoy playing it again at all especially now after Automata's buttersmooth bliss of combat (will be my GOTY btw, pretty sure), but for a strange reason I suddenly felt the urge to do the remaining secret dungeons and also farm AP to unlock every node (~10k left, which will probably take 8 hours of repeated whistle-summoning and warp-striking monsters 😂. Don't ask me why, I usually absolutely don't care for grindy shit like this, lol. At least the warping feels satisfying, which is one of the few good things about the combat.

My question is why can Sunhi make them look so good while Square and even GG cant. What's he doing that they cant do programmatically?
I played both Horizon and FFVX on the pro and his OG PS4 gifs looked better than what i was playing on my 4.2tflop console. why cant the devs use that extra horsepower to make the games look as good as sunhi?
I think Sunhi's biggest talent is his shot composition and lighting. he needs to be hired by one of these studios as a cinematographer or something. at the very least he can help them get the color tone right. the extra AA and smoothing of the framerate might not be possible on the OG PS4 but this is the kind of shit they should be focusing on for Pro upgrades. Fuck 4k.
Cerny should hire him as the director of photography to oversee baked in support for modes that make the game look and run like they do in his gifs. Put it on the OS level like boost mode and call it Sunhi mode.
I am dead serious.
Aren't there even some attack animations from 15 in the battle footage?
Looks so good. They really made Noctis feel like 2006 CGI Noctis.
Animations are indeed top notch.. but then you do a link attack.
Not to mention the framerate dips in hectic fights. The game is jank at times.
Damn you for making me want to play this game.
Yeah, the animations in FFXV are amazing and probably the best next to U4. Though, I haven't played Horizon yet, which I assume is the only other contender, no?
Haha, well, GG liked his work so much they invited him over recently:

No, he lives in the UK. I guess they payed for his flight and train.Well that's pretty awesome. I assume Sunhi lives in the Netherlands and wasn't flown over from some other country?
I can't really recall moments where the framerate ever dipped on me in this game, surprisingly.
The only 2 moments were Leviathan on base PS4 and that one room in that dungeon with all those fucking lighting bombs
edit:
Oh and that ambush invasion on base ps4 as well. too much stuff going on

Yeah the animations in this game are fantastic, not only very varied but also really well done.
I love this one of Aranea
What part of the game is that even from?
Those mobs are found south of the Disc I believe. Not sure how they managed to keep an Iron Giant out that long in the daytime though.
I swear i never even noticed any of these in my entire playthrough. Beyond impressive stuff.
I really hate that Sunhi's gifs aren't representative of in-game visual fidelity. It gives lots of people a false impression, when I think ideally gifs showcasing visual splendor should be true to the game, and not works of art and post-processing.
The animations are pretty good in this game, though. I mean, when they aren't getting in the way of you actually controlling Noctis.

You don't think the cropped aspect ratio are hints enough?
Judging by some of the responses in this thread, absolutely not.
I also honestly question the point of posting gifs like that when the message behind them is usually "Look how gorgeous this game looks" and then it doesn't look like that. The way they're used, they're often best-case not making any point or worst-case misleading people who don't know Sunhi.
No, it looks different because post processing on the gif.
Vanilla and Pro versions looks REALLY close (played both).
In FFXV's case it really does highlight the quality of the animations.
dutch angle - check
film aspect ratio - check
sunhilegend-level post/color correction (and simulated motion blur? can't really tell at that size) - triple check
I mean, I don't remember her being out in the daytime with you like that, unless I missed something. Granted, I was powering though the game pretty quickly.
What kind of TV are you playing the Pro version on? The color goes through the roof with HDR and the right settings on a Samsung KS8000. Really decadent.
Wasn't lost at all. We already had a thread dedicated to the amazing animations of FFXV:

Tons of new gifs should be added here
