What? Looked like it was ripped straight from the full game...nothing in the video stood out above what we've already seen lol...

No more slowdowns
The hitstop is now a function of how heavy the attack is... which is great.
Rapid strikes shouldn't have hitstop while big hits and finishing moves should.
Looked like the exact same fidelity as everything else to me
The models of the creatures look great, but so do the models for everything else.
Well Tabata specifically said they took out gameplay elements and stuff like AI to get that fidelity. Actual game will probably have less number of stuff shown/ a bit less details etc.
Compared to the painful Japanese Prompto it's miles ahead, though, don't you think?

Yeah it was really quite lively and soothing. Looked beautiful. Gran Pulse was a majorly failed attempt at something like this.
Yeah it's still bad. I still personally love that they made muh fav, Ignis, British, but I'll play the game in Japanese if they have that option in the end.

As someone who's endured Shenmue English dubs (still some of the best games I've ever played), the VA here is like Frank Sinatra compared to other possibilities lol. I don't think I've ever heard "good" English VA in Japanese games besides Metal Gear Solid.

It dosn't look that impressive to be honest, but of course, the game is far away, with optimizations and later versions of the engine, I expect, to at least look a bit better (and better framerate and resolution)
BTW the dub right now is even lower quality than FF XIII.
I hope is placeholder stuff.
Didn't they already do that in FFXIII on Gran Pulse?

Maybe, at this point in time at least. Still a long ways out and a ton of polish happens in late stages of development so honestly I'm expecting the game to look damn good, personally. Even better than that wildlife video.
I don't see how it looks that stunning.The creatures don't look all that different from when they showed them off in the presentations well we haven't seen the chocobos that close before. What's actually interesting is how many creatures there are and how they interact with each other that might not reflect 100% in the game.
Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions.
There have been many good localizations.
All Matsuno games (FFT, FFXII, etc.), the Persona series, Catherine, Xenoblade (yes, Xenoblade), Tales games.
And Nier especially. Just listen to this.

Yeah. And even XII might have had that. Still a nice detail.

I agree with this 100%. ALL of those are great localization jobs!
No, this one is worse.

Has it occur to you that maybe not all dungeons will be small like that Goblin cave? There's a lock-on button in the game, the player just didn't use it a lot from the short footage. Then again, that was a huge swarm of Goblins there, so I guess lock-on wasn't needed that much.

Tempest and Drain Blade.
Yeah but so far they seem to be making solid decisions.
animu game gets animu dub
Yes this is probably what the main difference will be between that video and actual game. The number of monsters/stuff shown on the screen won't be as big as that video.

I hope Tabata follows YoshiP example, that he wanted to listen to feedback but he never backed of from his vision (specially regarding the whiny "combat is just a bad wow clone and not like superior 1.23 version!")
The hitstop situation was weird anyway because the last trailer before the gameplay demonstration didn't have that problem. So they sort of went backwards? idk.

I personally think the English VA's sound awesome. Especially Prompto. Much better than his Japanese counterpart.
I just think some though are so used to how the Japanese cast sound and that they had this expectation for the characters to sound exactly like their Japanese counterparts. That would've made for a much worse dub. It almost always does when that's the intention.
If you take a step back and divorce yourself from how you THINK they should sound, you will find the voice acting to be rather great. But I understand that some can't do that. In that regard, it is quite unfortunate.

Not a fan of the English VAs hopefully the main game ships with dual audio, since the demo is doing that.

That looks pretty normal for such a huge dev team. Ubisoft needs a million people working on Ass Creed because they keep them out every year.

I like Prompto's dub because he reminds me of Krillin in TFS, especially the "What? Where? Who? What?".

Guys, if you imagine the VA isn't terrible then it will magically be terrific. Close your eyes and bask in the wonder

Can't lie, I can't think of many either. Though the dubs present in the Ivalice games, especially FF Tactics: War of the Lions and FFXII are really, really good.

I like how the animals interact with each other. I assume its going to be that way or that's what they are striving for in the full game
You haven't played that many JP games or even just other FF games then.

watch out for that stone gaze.

Not even close. I said "divorce from the idea of what you think they should sound like." Too often I see Japanese products get panned for their dubs because some can't get used to someone else voicing the same character. Does Japanese VA's sound better? Usually. Does that mean the English is bad? No. All too often you see people say it's bad when all it is, is the characters not sounding the same/"as good" as their Japanese counterparts. I remember some argued this for FFXII back when that was shown. Point is, just because one is better than the other doesn't automatically make the other "terrible."

Glad the Xbox One version looks good as well. Hoping for that PC release.
The dub isn't that bad. Hell the only games that get really bad dubs that I remember were really budget Japanese games on the PS2 and some recently last generation.
Yup.

Yup.
Agreed, the first trailer using English voices was atrocious, but this newest segment was much more bearable. Perhaps it is because this is the first trailer where I heard the English voices first?

This is actually my problem. The VA sounded a lot better here than in the trailers. But if I get the option for the Japanese voices I will, and its probably since we have been hearing only Japanese voices all these years and I have gotten so used to it, watching/rewatching all the trailers. There isn't really any turning back now.
