Hopefully there's a mini-game where you have to avoid being shat on by birds on the equivalent of Piazza San Marco
To get Prompto's Ultimate Weapon: Dodge bird shit 200 times
I hope they at least have a high jump or something, jumps in Duscae were short and boring.
Yeah, though looking at it it was pretty obvious.
*sigh* That dodge hurt the most. Welp, in it's inevitable post console future, there'll probably be a mod for that.

Man, to be honest I don't see that jump changing.
They got to fix those battles with giant foes, I think it's going to be more engaging in the final game. Duscae was so early and missed a lot of features so I'm not critical like most folks of it.

Thats the image I was looking for.

I ain't the Versus/XV pope I once was, haha.
Hopefully the battle and its looks are better the the one in 13.
But if it goes off the Amano design it will be int resting.

Cmon now don't detail the thread until the typical XV debacle.. Let threelights be.
Insomnia is probably flashback material, though it could also be a strong focus during the final parts of the game, who knows?
But I'm with ya: Altissia >>>> Insomnia
Wouldn't being able to warp all over the place be a detriment to level design and exploration?

I love this Bahamut. Amano is really good in designing monsters.
My favorite one:
Look how menacing he is while opening his wings:

There's 5 major cities. We haven't seen the other ones but Altissia and Insomnia are supposed to be huge.

Isn't that the exact reason as to why you can only warp to pre-determined places?
And even if you could warp anywhere, the answer would still be no. There are multiple ways of having good level design even with high mobility.
Listen to this man.
I suggest you sit back and be content with them doing their jobs. I'm sure they've considered your criticisms for the game and then some. They just have their own plan and vision they're sticking to for the game as a whole.

Would be nice if we do have a Bahamut of that size. Bahamut is cool in FFXIV and all, but Bahamut Prime itself during the battle is unimpressively small. Unfortunately, that's the way it is with MMOs.
They can definitely go for a much larger scale in a single player ARPG.
He's small because you're fighting a materialization of his soul. It wouldn't have worked in game to have you fight his arms/legs/head etc per Yoshida.
Untill the March event

Yeah FFXIV does well with the summons and just how powerful they are.
Hell, people like Zack can destroy large planets due to contending with Bahamut.
Which makes the Death Battle even more ridiculous.
Wonder where Noctis will end up after fighting these beast of power.
Obviously it wouldn't have worked out, and that's what's unfortunate about it. Story wise I suppose it's justified with you going to its heart basically. You can justify a lot of things with story.
I'm saying FFXV can aim higher with regards to scale.
I would think the reason you can only warp to predetermined places is that it would be a pain in the ass to control otherwise, in real-time anyway.
But whatever. I've seen you post in these threads, and it certainly seems as if you've made up your mind. Don't know why I asked.

I would like to see Yojimbo again.
I remember hearing that the engine was having issues with asset streaming, e.g. struggling to keep up while the player warped around the map. I can't really think of a game of this scale that's attempted near-instantaneous teleportation across long distances, so I can understand why it would be an issue. That's part of what initiated the talks with Avalanche IIRC.
Mmf, that enemy design gets me so hyped.
"Hey, this samurai enemy from the old 2D FF games is kinda huge in comparison to the player sprites, should we scale it down? It was probably intended to be human sized anywa-"
"NOPE, we're making it huge and uncanny as hell."
So good <3
Would fit since we already have Samurai enemies.
That design actually IS Yojimbo from FFV. (one of Nomura's designs on FFV)http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Yojimbo_(Final_Fantasy_V)
Perhaps we'll get a special version of this enemy called Yojimbo(kinda like Deadeye the Behemoth)?
Would fit since we already have Samurai enemies.
Yojimbo is a boss and this samurai is his annoying minion that we need to kill first

Seems like the battles at night in Insomnia we know from the Versus 2011 trailer:
Oh my gosh!
How recent is that first piece of concept art? Was that in one of the more recent montages of concept art from 2015??

I was pretty sure the cities could be fully explored and would have this level of depth.
Cafes, hotels, shops, parks, boats, sightseeing, and activities. Well done, I'm sure this isn't all talk either and it is all in the game already.
Hearing about the aerial combat only excites me more. As I had expected this from the start,
people telling me that "FFXV is grounded now" and that air combat would be "Unrealistic and have no place in the game" are too funny.
I'm pretty sure the Leviathan fight will still be in, and will still be badass.
People are acting like just because it was a target render in the E3 Trailer means it won't look like that in the actual game.
Meanwhile we have no solid confirmation about that, just the ones who doubt showing their pure pessimism. Just you wait.
Also this combat switching system sounds like Automatic and Manual control options all the better to hear.
Believe.

in a time where we got bombarded with all those medieval looking buildings in RPG Games, its just so refreshing to have something like this.
I believe the streaming issue was only in regards to the airship, which was why Avalanche was approached since they have a game where you can go incredibly high up. The warp-as-traveling mechanic was tested but they kept running into a crapload of bugs and would cause delays.

It is from 2015, nothing else was really said on it.

Sonit sounds like they are taking a witcher 3 aproach in terms of difficulty? I like that, I also wonder if this is all going to be one seamless world or if there will be loading screens between zones? Either way, one of my most anticipated games of all time, I cant fucking wait!
It's from Gamescom. That monster is probably a Zu.
Yup, I think gamescom 2015 or TGS, not sure.
To be honest, from a development standpoint, this is a completely reasonable answer and fans should try to be a little bit understanding.
I honestly don't get why warp-as-travelling would be such a problem while it's still a feature in battles. Could someone explain this to me?
I just want to be able to use the same warps they let you use during battles outside of them. I don't necessarily want to be able to pick the warp points myself. :/

What's ironic is this is still based on medieval buildings, except real medieval ones instead of cliche D&D-ish/LOTR-ish ones.
They'll probably design those areas so you can jump on top of rocks and eventually get to that spot.

Then they better improve the jumping if they intend us to platform our way up to those spots.

I just hope that the inevitable PC version has a mod that allows constant warping. I mean, in the demo you can already warp in any direction as long as you're in the battle state/mode, even if you aren't actually warping towards or currently attacking an enemy, so I imagine it'd be possible to find some kind of exploit or workaround.
