I don't think I'll be able to handle what a summon looks like in this game. Can you freakin imagine?
I'm not ready!
Master race confirmed.

Because "HD towns are hard."
The game might have a kind of auto-teleport to those kinds of set spots in the game that you can teleport to with a quick press of the button, but I hope there's also a manual teleport that lets you take your time and aim and throw it where ever you want.
Resources, time and SE.

Current gen only too.
Heel, I think you're a good poster and I like you. So, please stop.
There's nothing "easy" about building or designing open-world video games and most of the people that have experience doing so will not be found on a Japanese development team.
A friend of mine wants to know, will there be lolis in this game?
That would be ideal. God Xenoblade absolutely nailed the scope of all the various landscapes.
I'm shit out of luck since I just upgraded earlier this year. Can't justify another upgrade
until I finish this final year at uni and pay off my loans.
Hopefully Skylake drops by 2017!

Lol, judging from the last 5 years... could've fooled me!

We need direct feed footage of that presentation. Hopefully soon!!!!
Please SE.....
Please SE.....
good, then please tell me which game on PC play EXACTLY like this? with EXACTLY same art direction etc?
stop bringing PC master race into console's game.
a lot of people still adore Japanese style art and "boring" gameplay over "best graphics PC can do"
on topic, is Adamantoise the giant monster at beginning of the trailer? that EXTREMELY HUGE monster?? oh man... can't wait to fight that thing.
Trust in Nojima. His A-game is unimpeachable.
That statement is a silly argument to use against them without any understanding of the context. SQEX were in trouble with FFXIII's development for a long time and by the time Toriyama & co had any idea what the fuck they were doing with the game, they needed to rush the game out ASAP. That left them with the kind of schedule that really DID make it impossible for them to implement fully fuctioning cities into the game and all they could do was a pretty barebones pipe-run of a game with very little outside of the story and combat of the game. That doesn't mean that with more time in their hand & less technical difficulties, they would still be unable to do "HD cities".
What was that? You own a PC?
One of the biggest teams in Japan is working this and according to them "the console industry rests on this"
If you can't evolve classic FF into seamless open world then you can't dare call yourself ambitious.
CDPR doesn't have a quarter of SE's people and they are doing it.
SE can and must do it.This is how you take FF to the next level in terms of immersion.

I don't trust Nojima since CC.
CDPR is one of the most talented studios out there.
SE took several years to complete his next gen engine (is even complete?) and we don't know how well is capable of doing seamless open world, while maintaining a good level of visual fidelity, which is something that always comes first on SE FF games.

Thanks for that, it will add a lot the discussion.
Also, I have yet to see a PC game with that IQ and scale.
Regardless, I'm sure it will eclipse the FF13 games in quality.
I simply want the dialogue and voice acting to be as top-notch as they were in FF12.
yes

totally agreed. #teamseamless
One would think that designing large MMO's like FFXI and FFXIV would help in this regard, no?
Perhaps I'm missing what 'open world' means in the context of FFXV, because I can easily see SE pulling this off.
some people are still hurt.
but yes, i hope and think we will get an jrpg with an open world like in the old ff games.

Welp, my PC doesn't have things that look that good, so I'd love to know what you're playing.

nvm.
They have way more money and resources than any other Japanese RPG dev.
They gotta do it this time.Its now or never.
Also FROMSoft already does and BloodBorne will be playable without a single loading screen like Dark Souls 1and2 before it.
Why can't SE's biggest game in years strive to achieve that ? Doesn't seem impossible for them imo.
Nooooooo
stop bringing his name into FFXV thread!!
don't let him ruin the next *hopefully* our "comeback" FF
I really wouldn't consider Dark Souls to be open world. Most of it consists of interconnected corridors. Very well connected, but still corridors.
No. None of the revealed key story characters seem to be younger than early to mid 20s, and there is a paucity of female characters in general. I don't think Tets goes the Loli route, if'n you know what I mean.
When that term is applied to FF, it tends to be in relation to the vast scale of something like VII vs. the linear, noninteractive nature of something like XIII. Put another way, some kind of explorable overworld with the potential for discovery and player agency = open world;. being directed through corridors like in XIII = not open world.
What I find interesting is that while SE spent a generation making it seem like the HD era made a well realized world next to impossible, in some ways advances in hardware have made it easier than ever to make a world feel massive and open. The line between an actual open world and a pseudo open world can seem a little blurrier for that reason. What I'm afraid to hope for, and yet badly want to believe will be the case, is that XV will manage to actually leverage modern hardware to create a world that feels fun and epic to explore in the same way previous FF worlds did, but with the ability to expand the scale of environments dramatically. The classic FF template translated for 2015-16; MGS 3 to MGS 5, as opposed to FFXII to FFXIII.
My deepest fear regarding the game, though, is probably that large environments will substitute for interactivity and diversity. And not even because large environments are harder fill with meaningful details/content. Just because hey, XV needs to come out eventually, and here's a pretty easy way to fulfill our promise to make the game more open.
its also old gen and low budget compared to SE flagship game.

compare 8 gigs of ram versus 256-512 MB of ram.

The enemies previously had yellow lock ons if you watch the E3 trailer.
FFXIV isn't open-world. It's zone-based, like XII and XV soon enough.
Tabata said some stuff has been changed.
