Love the new HUD. Thought the older one was lacking character when FFXV's world clearly doesn't.

One thing I do hate is the no caps lock for the English UI in ED.

 

[crooked spin]

Hope the UI is still a work in progress. Looks rough.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Hope the UI is still a work in progress. Looks rough.

Yup I hope so as well. Also those 3 squares attached to the HP/MP bar, I'm guessing their for buffs? Looks so lame.

 

[SPAW]

I had the same problem. lol. Maybe it was the bar colors, but it was hard to keep track of in the middle of battle.

Evidently we are the source of all the crouches in modern AAA-games!

 

[Kagari]

Yup I hope so as well. Also those 3 squares attached to the HP/MP bar, I'm guessing their for buffs? Looks so lame.

That's my thought. And yeah this looks like a reskin of Type-0's kind of lol.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

All over my face.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Yup, it's for the buffs would be my guess.

I do like the new hud tho.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

The HP/MP bars kinda reminds me of the HUD from FFvXIII on the PS3. Minus the KH style command menu.

Also, the "weapon wheel" sticks out like a sore thumb, I like the FFXV reveal weapons menu. All of them nicely stacked next to each other.

Actually this is probably my favorite version period.

 

[AzureAngel27]

For the love of god please let this be the last one. These things have effectively killed my hype.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Isn't the whole camping/Inn final? For leveling up.

For leveling, sure. But there's undoubtedly a system connected to (or maybe completely independent of, like materia) leveling that will govern what abilities you have, or whatever. We've seen nothing about what that is yet.

 

[oimori]

I've heard that phantom sword or armiger got its own gauge, but there isn't. mystery.

The world wasn't good enough for this version. :<

Scrolling through all that to find the right weapon seems like a hassle and un-intuitive though. In terms of function I think the 4 weapons mapped to the dpad will work the best.

 

[demosthenes]

I'm looking forward to this game so much and I know next to nothing about it, going to stay strong and skip this too.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

It's okay though Final Fantasy Versus VII: Remake Part -1/????- Escape From Midgar seems to be Nomura's new baby that follows his FFvsXIII brand of action.

Yes, but aesthetically it's more pleasing. I can see a compromise where you can line up all 4 weapons in a row, but have them assigned to the 4 dpad.

 

[Wagram]

HP bar depletes right to left now - all is right in the world.

In terms of functionality, the one in the OP is better. It's clear on what buttons match to what weapon, and is larger and clearer against the background.

That old interface may be pretty, but it's not good.

 

[wmlk]

The old system had a warp mechanic that tied into the four notches in the old UI. The old UI was more effective with whatever older system was in place, and probably didn't fit with the new systems.

the bars look like the early version of FF XIII too

 

[benzy]

The weapon interface wouldn't really be necessary at that point then, since you would have to memorize which d-pad button correlates to which weapon.

 

[Nibel]

Maybe

Just maybe

We should wait for some footage of that UI in action and see how it works when it's being used mid-gameplay with animations etc.

 

[Mato]

Any chance this game will come out in parts? I'm starting to think it might.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

I was thinking they take the weapon line-up like in the original FFXV reveal menu, and just place a dpad indicator beneath each weapon.

The pleasing aesthetic of having the weapons lined up side to side, but the functionality of switching using the dpad.

Thanks for your contribution!

One game coming out in parts doesn't mean that's their goal for every big game.

That trailer was a concept though I understand people being enamored with it, it looked elegant and clean but it just works better this way.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

I know it was a concept, and I know it works better having the weapons laid out the way they are now. I just believe there can be a comprise between functionality and aesthetics.

Nope. The original plan was to have multiple games within the FFXV world even though XV itself would have had its own conclusion - the "Versus Epic" as it was called. That idea was since scrapped.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Psst Kagari, he was trying to be "funny", referencing the FF7R situation.

 

[Soriku]

The old HUD was alright except that it was TOO SMALL and also too transparent. This new one looks too cluttered though.

Maybe give us the option to hide or minimize elements?

 

[Kagari]

Psst Kagari, he was trying to be "funny", referencing the FF7R situation.

Well to be fair Nomura did take his original idea and transfer it to FF7R lol.

 

[ackl]

So does that mean we're now getting a 'digest' of XV? (referening Nomura's FFVIIr interview) lol.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

And I ain't even mad.

So does that mean we're now getting a 'digest' of XV? (referening Nomura's FFVIIr interview) lol.

Considering how entire scenes were either re-arranged/cut/re-written, we're getting a completely different game than versus. They just share the same characters and world.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Well to be fair Nomura did take his original idea and transfer it to FF7R lol.

When you put it that way, FFVIIR Part X/?, sounds way more appealing.

Mixed feelings on another ATR. I'd rather they waited till March for their big push but new info on Niflheim has my attention. Goddammit.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Same. On one hand it bodes really well that they're ready earlier than expected to talk about more areas (and are hinting at summer possible release date). But damnit SE, stay on script and ride it out until March. That way people will be super eager for more news.

 

[Demise]

Trash-talk the game all you want, I think it will be GREAT and BIG. I don't even played any of the beta.

it isn't as much the time between announcements as actually having something to show. If they actually can show some stuff, then another ATR is just dandy. if it is an ATR just to give promises about epic stuff. well.

 

[rayman1900]

Noctis seems to do a pose like if he was about to summon or cast magic ! This could be it guys ! Magic system explained next atr haha

 

[saher]

Looking forward to tabata's Niflheim bedtime story with some art on screen.

They need to talk about this guy since he is been on the trailers since forever

He seems important to the story

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Cool. Cant wait for the update.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

He'll be the Char Clone of Final Fantasy, mark my words.

 

[Thabass]

Who cares about FFXV anymore? And LOL@people being impressed by the new HUD. Have you seen Persona 5's menus? It's pretty obvious which game will be better.

Oh you.

 

[Skilletor]

Looking forward to tabata's Niflheim bedtime story with some art on screen.

If he's in.

And if he's still important.

And if he's in, and still important, if he looks the same so that, if we see him, we know it's this guy.

 

[Thabass]

Nope. The original plan was to have multiple games within the FFXV world even though XV itself would have had its own conclusion - the "Versus Epic" as it was called. That idea was since scrapped.

Funny enough, from what I've played of the game (Episode Duscae), if it's as good as I hope it will be, then I wouldn't mind more games in the FFXV world.

 

[daniels]

The weapon wheel thing is a bit much.. is it always there in fights?

 

[Icyflamez96]

Looking forward to it.

 

[Mediking]

The hype is soooo FREAKING real!!! Let's go!!!!!!!! Collector's Edition with artbook, theme and avatars please!!!
