Different summons have different requirements or ways that they come to your aid. For example, certain summons just show up when they feel like it. Other than that example it is pretty vague as far as I know.
That is vague but it's a lot more interesting than an "Oh Shit" button like the demo.
I'm pretty much sold on it too. The only thing that really worries me is that every time we see gameplay it's of Noctis getting his ass beat. It comes off looking frustrating because if the devs can't avoid being knocked around how can we?

They must be pretty proud of this spell. Hope there are plenty more ring spells to show off.

Yeah I agree. Hopefully we will get a bit more info on the revealed summons and their requirements to use them before the game releases.
lol.
Yeah for the most part I'm going to leave them alone. But there's quests, recipes I'm sure, and sometimes they'll aggro if they get hit if you're fighting something else.
I always was of the mind that people were judging the graphics WAY prematurely, but what they've done over the last couple of builds have been damn near miraculous. Far more than my wildest fanboy expectations.

Optimization isn't a myth, it's a very real and powerful beast.

Haha. This will be the rare time in a FF I would actually want to use the Death spell, and on every enemy. Just to see how it looks.

Hmmm. I wonder if there are wild Chocobos you can fight

On which move? The spell itself? That would be even more OP.

I agree and I'm surprised more people aren't mentioning this. It looks ridiculous.
The more I watched it the more I wished it affected their animations as well.

Yeah SE is weird. I like that about them though, sometimes...
fucking knew disney would be involved secretly. In the background you see Pride Rock with its after effects of scar taking over are in full effect here.

Love this. One of my favorite parts of 8:
Battle starts.
Characters disappear
"Zantetsuken"
I want turn based combat back.
world of final fantasy comes out in 3 weeks........go that way
man, the whole background 'uh!'/'oohff!'/'augh!' gruntin'n'groanin', combined with them trademark 'random remarks', is just sooo overdone. i can't imagine this being much fun to listen to beyond the first few hours (if even that
this
jesus christ
this video was only 4 minutes long and i'm already tired of them

creepy looking death spell, really like it. It even heals Noctis.
It looks creepy and messed up. Ultimately it's a game. Do we need a scientific explanation for it?
in a datalog maybe aha ahahaha ahahah don't hurt me
edit: try this on for size - Death physically distorts whatever it's used on till the Gods deem it an aberration that has no right to exist and thus erase it from existence. Except the sirloins. The sirloins can stay. (c) Falk 2016
edit2:
Hell yeah, I would get so hyped whenever Odin popped in. lol

The game looks cool, but I don't think I'd ever use that magic. The animation reminds me too much of some of kind of goofy-yet-still-disturbing version of an Unforgivable Curse from Harry Potter (likely the Cruciatus Curse) and just makes me really uncomfortable.
That's great that they're differentiating the magic, though. Like I said, the game is looking cool.

What? I'm not looking for an explanation here, it's a magical spell. What I'm saying is the way they decided to represent death "decaying" an enemy visually looks silly as hell. It doesn't look convincingly like decay, and more like a literal video game corruption. It's just an odd choice particularly for a game so heavily emphasizing animations, design and fidelity in all other areas I've seen.
My guess is people aren't complaining about it because most people seem to think it looks cool.
I feel like I'm in one of those "how to make your 4:3 games widescreen" threads but in reverse, lol
Yeah, it's goofy on mechanical enemies.

Anybody think that there might be monsters(like bosses) capable of using Death magic? It was used in the past FFs by hard monsters and some bosses. I can see boss battles against something like a Lich where he focuses on Noctis and the point of the battle is to knock the Lich out of the spell(because that seems to be a weakness, the concentration), but then get his HP low enough and he summons a swarm of monsters to keep you busy while he's trying to cast Death on you one by one.
That leads me to the use of this spell. I'd think it would be hard to use on fast moving enemies that have the knack of knocking Noctis out of concentration.

The Twtichcon presentation showed the Bandersnatch, as well as
Soldier Wasps(giant killer wasps that can swoop down and carry you away) and Mandrakes(plant-like creatures that have root-like bodies, giant flowers on their heads and move around like apes). Both, to my knowledge, are also new. There are also another type of crab enemy, but it seems to be a palette swap of the ones near Galdin Quay.
