Is there a place to see the previously screened outfits?This was done for the previous set of casual outfits revealed, but it's still relevant.
I hope we still haven't seen the worst of Noctis' fashion sense, there's further to go.
The foreshadowing.
The symbolism.

Casual Outfits:
Ignis>Gladio>>>Prompto>>>>>>>>>>>>Noctis (what were they thinking? XD)
This should be the default clothes for Ignis.
Prompto is cool too, really FF-like.
Gladio would be cool if the jacket was black, biker style.
Noct is... ugh...
But whait we've seen him with only the white shirt from that oufit, so the clothes are indeed layered/mix and matchable?
What does that have to do with the notion that any lack of obvious drawn out enemy telegraph = automatic shit combat design?
You're given enough tools in XV's combat to avoid getting hit. You can constantly hold guard in XV and Noct will auto-dodge any attack, you can even parry in the middle of an attack animation. You can continually roll dodge and warp around instead of just staying in one place when you see enemies coming up to you.

Because combining the lack of solid enemy telegraphing AND slow input time makes the combat felt imbalanced and sluggish. Now, I'm inclined to believe (or rather, hope) they have improved the input reaction time compared to the demos, but I'm not sure about the former.

Today's stream was much more enjoyable ! We even saw Gladio all burned up by getting cought in a thunder spell ! lol

In the Platinum demo there were also several attacks of the Iron Giant that couldn't be dodged just by holding the dodge button, so that much is certain, I'd say.
I think you're right. IIRC in the platinum demo the Iron Giant would telegraph the attacks you couldn't dodge.

We don't know for sure, maybe it was due to input lag...
Control response is an entirely different issue. Even if the response was quicker and 1:1, the combat would still be crap according to the original argument that no drawn out enemy telegraphing = shit combat design.
That body decal though...
Nah I'm pretty sure there were certain attacks you couldn't dodge regardless of timing.

Input lag? We're talking about stuff you still get hit by while holding the defense button.

The car is alot more customizable than I thought looking at that pic. Wanna see how that translates to the airship

Don't know about the original argument, but for me I prefer a balance between these factors. Little enemy telegraph suits fast, reactive, cancellable input, seen typically in character action games. Or more elaborate enemy telegraph combined with slower, more grounded, uncancellable input, like in Dark Souls. Right pairing matters.
Gladio: "Man fuck you, Noct."

If it would be certain attacks you couldn't dodge regardless of timing, so why include that "Hold defend" button prompt on screen, though ? Doesn't make much sense to me.

Great stream today!! The presenters saying they looove the combat and it feeling like an art form is just such music to my ears.
I wasn't talking about the "Hold to defend / parry" button prompts. I was referring to the specific attacks the Iron Giant does that bypass auto-dodging in the Platinum demo.
It actually is black or very dark grey like a biker jacket. Just depends on the lighting.
The menu lighting is just a bit off.
Speaking of the lighting. Global illumination and bounce lighting seems to be partially back. You could notice it quite well in the shops at the beginning and in the caravan (also in the caves in other videos). A month ago these were still consistently brightly lit around the clock. Now they are dimmer and there is more spacial depth.

This looks so good.
No Idea why he's shirtless by default.It looks absurd.
Because the Gods demanded it. I get shirtless Gladio, you get clothed Gladio. Everybody wins.

Watching in full now..a poisonous lighting spell...god I'ma love Magic in this game

It looks terrible I don't know any man who would willingly wear those pants even without the belt on the leg. The actual belt is also a huge no no.
His default is actually pretty memorable if only for the fact that everyone is talking about his abs.
The casual one looks cool but it's also fairly usual and forgettable.
I wonder if Gladio owns a motorcycle when he's not assisting Noctis to save the world. His wardrobe choices and overall style do indicate that.
Yeah I'm with you, At least if the pants were of a darker color it might look better, but almost white pants like that? Looks so bad. But I think maybe Noctis' casuak outfit is worse still, poor guy!

I just want Noctis to get a haircut, it has nothing to do with men's fashion. You're the prince of a country, you can't look like a weaboo naruto wannabe no jutsu
even the reaction gifs are glitching smh

Lmao he's so over the top I love.
weaboo seems to be substituted for literally everything these days, similar to 'anime'. They can design his hair how they want.
True, and it puts to rest the complaints that the button prompts are undoable. Seems like a good system to me, hope the rest of the game is GOAT as well!

We still don't know how to summon and what is the magic from the royal ring. =(

I was a bit worried learning ap is shared among the 4 but looking watching these two streams have made me at ease seems it pretty easy to get a good amount of it
Only thing left I really wanna know. Well they can keep royal magic under their hat I do wanna know how to summon tho
My first reaction to it, too. I wanted some of Uematsu's stuff from XIV 1.0 in as well. Thanalan, On Windy Meadows.
How many more gaming events are there between now and Nov 29? Besides the launch trailer, it seems like we'll only get the same kind of footage (the beginning area) until then. I'm fine with that since I love the look the opening area and I rather not see more of the later areas.

The magic from the ring is it unlocks every outfit so you don't have to buy a handkerchief to get the cool jacket or spend 30 more dollars on the physical copy to get the suit
Does anybody know what Gladiolus' "exploring the wild" skill actually does?
We've seen Noctis fishing, Prompto taking pics, Ignis cooking food but Gladio? Is it just building the tents? That's a kinda lame skill compared to the others...
Exploring the wild sounds a bit more active. The skill pics of the character are also showing Noctis fishing, Prompto taking pictures, Ignis cooking and Gladio seems to be not building a tent but climbing:
