Prompto is GORGEOUS!
Look at the hair on those douchebags.
The hair is still one of the most impressive things imo. So fluffly.
Dammit I love how they act in unison. I can't believe how smooth and natural this is.
When I watched the presentation I was like "buh?', but Tabata clearly mentions a bespoke FFXV engine called Ebony.
I think in this case, despite the European aesthetic the Japanese VO is probably going to be best. No idea if this has changed, but back in 2011 Nomura was having the voice actors come in and record their lines together so they could overlap(I would assume that means interrupt) each other naturally when they delivered their lines.

The game has changed a lot since then so who knows if they still do this, but you can guarantee they would never do that for a dub.
LMAO! This was my exact face when I read that. Scrolling down and see this response made me laugh so hard.
OPEN WORLD!!
Nah, Tabata said he considered the current visual fidelity of this demo to be 70-80% of the final (or maybe Duscae, it's not entirely clear).
Yes, people have spoken about it before but it was never officially mentioned by SE until now.

Exactly, which is why it would be worrisome because of the possibility of a director just saying "do the nathan drake voice"
It's a safe bet Nolan North and Troy Baker will be in it....because there aren't many games they're not in these days.

That looks super impressive.
I mean, it should, considering this has been I development for...how long, now?

He doesn't seem to have as much range as those too. But he's in a lot of stuff.

yea isn't this the first time they mentioned the name "Ebony" ?
I always remember them saying it's a custom engine with Luminous technology.
Rad as fuckAll those special effects look so pretty.

Noctis' country is based on Japan.
All those special effects look so pretty.
love the hair color change to orange there, cant wait to see other types of magic being used and seeing is hair change color
Prompto is that dislikable huh
whhhhaaa, I didn't notice that. I thought only his eyes changed color in response to detecting death.
Holy shit! I didn't notice that Noctis goes Super Saiyan with that fire spell! Good catch!
He's the expert of capturing the "anime" generic douchebag. Devil May Cry 4, Last Remnant, etc.
Now I know...
This arm was made for sending guys like you...
...BACK TO HELL!
Whoever they will be, I hope the dub will be as great as FFXII and DQ8.
Nothing comes close so far.
Who's recording it, NISA?
If they're recording like that for Japan, there's a good chance they would in fact want the dub to be the same way. It's not like this game is wont for time/budget.
A lot of the prospective actors they'd be looking at will be accustomed to that anyway, from doing mo-cap work, of they don't already do TV/film in addition to VO.

Hmmm, only other possibility is that it might be the lighting from the flames effecting his hair, it gets the most orange during the big burst.
I remember they did once say that the reason his hair looked more blue at times, in old builds, was due to it being effected by the lighting.
But it could be that too, no idea!
LOL, now I can't stop only seeing it that way, now that since you mentioned it
BRIT ACCENTS OR NOT? PLACE YOUR BETS!
I think Stella will have a British accent.
Have him voice summons or monsters
No. These are not common hairstyles. I lived in Japan for seven years and Tokyo for five.
These are host hairstyles. Nobody other than hosts or host wannabes do this shit. It is, as you say, a Nomura fetish.
Oh hells yes. Compare reveal trailer to final (?) Noctis... Whoa.
Pretty sure. I'm a huge slobbering FF/Kitase/Nomura/R&D1 fan, but I had never heard the name "Ebony Engine" before.

the character models seems tessellated. probably the first extensive use of tessellation in a current gen console game.
Or they are just really high poly. There is no difference.

yea they are very high polys. best character models I have ever seen and the skin shader is also very impressive
Even moreso when you consider the crazy hair too. They did a great job making the characters look believeable while still maintaining the art style. Reminds me of Advent Children.

Yo I think when it comes to dubs we need us some Travis Willingham and Todd Haberkorn up in here.

yea the hair is great too. I just hope the game retains the intense object physics from last year's e3 demo. it had a lot of interactive objects and some destruction as well, don't know how well the console CPU's will be able to cope up with those.
GPGPU can work really well for destruction.
Yeah, literally 'Versus' in terms of the engine as well.
All those special effects look so pretty.
Makes you wonder if the Behemoth had to die like that. If it was like a QTE sorta thing. Or if he used Ice or Thunder instead, would he have been destroyed in other fashions?
What do you mean? The animation? That might be the same. Or are you saying that the killing blow had of been the fire?
Yeah. Since it's so fancy looking it makes me feel like it was like a special killing blow. So I'm curious if it -had- to be killed like that. What if Ignus killed it with an auto attack? Would it have just keeled over? lol.

I guess the animation is like that no matter how he dies.

Consider my hopes well and truly up.
All the art and graphic discussion aside, I absolutly hate what I'm seeing gameplay wise. And it kinda makes me sad and mad at the same time.
Versus was supposed to be different. I totally get this. But when I'm looking at those trailers I'm looking at Final Fantasy XV. And the magic is gone. Actually, quite literally ... gone. Where's my Vita? Where are my Chocobos? I don't doubt that they will be in the game, but I certainly don't like what the devs seem to be focusing on right now. It's been one year since the wall hopping 2013 e3 trailer and while not being the biggest fan of it stuff I can live with that.
I'm sure someone will make a connection to the first XIII hallway trailer and sure, he'll have a point with that. But those trailers simply had that special "it" for me. With XV ... I don't know. It's all about hair and a teleport attack? That's what people are discussing? :/

I don't know what you are trying to say here. Are you talking about magic spell, or magic feeling of Final Fantasy?
What do you mean by Vita?
and Chocobo? They said it's in the game of course.
I think you have to realize that the trailer was specifically focusing on the demo we are getting with Type-0, and it will be very early part of the game.
As for the tech demo it was a showcase of the visual improvement, not the game mechanics. I am sure they are hiding many things at this moment and will reveal them later.
