Maybe the PlayStation Experience?

December 6th & 7th in Las Vegas.

Yeah! That one! =) Thank you. Hope it'll be there because I don't think I can wait another 51 days for JF ;A; .

@Famassu: That would be cool. Even though I'll be team JP for VA's, I'd love to know who would be playing who for the English dub.

We don't know how well it will perform (and we're not even thinking about the obligatory XBO performance polemic) but i'm pretty sure it will be superior to anything in term of design and artist works.

When i see the the level of production of those monsters, their animation, model (and don't forget the behemoth!) i really hope the game is generous. FFXIII felt so cheap with those monsters reused 20 times everywhere.

A FF should be a never ending festival of curiosity and incredible bestiary. Remember some of the designs in FFX ? The Atma weapon, the first boss in the water.. If we see this kind of thing with this level of detail, we'll die.

If the Leviathan battle is still in, I would wager that we will face some other summons. Can't wait to see Bahamut, and yes, that Behemoth fight looks ridiculously good. I think they're nailing the right aspects of the game. Already looks miles better than XIII, if only for the simple fact that this doesn't seem to be a corridor simulator. Some might find it bland, but I think that grounding this game on "reality" with realistic looking cities you could actually visit, and coupling that with the nature that surrounds them works pretty well. It's different than other final fantasies but somehow feels familiar, in a good way.

 

[Hikami]

This is like the only game where I wouldn't use fast/quick travel.

Spoiler

If it has the option

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

do you guys finally BELIEVE!?

 

[Trago]

Um, damn.

It would be a waste if SE didn't use Luminous for any of their other future titles. This is some next level shit.

 

[legacyzero]

This is simply amazing...

Next Gen World Map.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Guys i'm getting feels from this game that i haven't felt since the company was still named Squaresoft.What's wrong with me?

 

[sublimit]

Seriously how big is FFXV's world?? That second video almost makes GTA V look small. O_O

 

[Edge_Maverick]

Can't find the chocobos ;(

 

[Lifejumper]

Fishing and mini games are confirmed to be in.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Seriously how big is FFXV's world?? That second video almost makes GTA V look small. O_O

And remember, this is just from the demo.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Looks a hell of a lot better then I expected, god damn.

 

[threelights]

Can't find the chocobos ;(

13:30 of the world map video, they appear in the background

 

[raven777]

[Altered Juice]

EDIT : second video with NEW GAMEPLAY !!

[Cidd]

I hope there is a lot of idle dialog between Noct and his team, I like that in games.

 

[SPAW]

These are the most realistic cloudcovers I've ever seen in a video game

LOOK at how the lighting changes because the camera pans up and gets more light (like an eye)

I want to hijack one of them!!

 

[Dark_castle]

Indeed. It'd be fun just to see how the world changes in time, and how the environment reacts to it.

 

[raven777]

The graphics look fantastic. Hopefully they keep native 1080p resolution and it will be amazing.

 

[Exentryk]

If you've missed some, here are all the vids:

[leadbelly]

Fair enough. I agree with this, the game looks a bit too realistic. I had that feeling when I saw the gas station. Understand I am not complaining! The visual result of the creature design looks great, topping what I expected from a next-gen FF.

Now, seeing this, I can't wait for news about the next Elder Scrolls.

Yeah. Of course there are elements of fantasy within the design. The creatures and certain aspects of the landscape do give you the impression that this is a Final Fantasy game. However, I suppose that only exemplifies in my mind that some things just seem a little out of place.

Like when he is running in the forest and comes across this building.

My first thought was, "Oh! That's a very ordinary looking building". It just didn't seem quite right to me. I kind of expect to see a quaint little cottage with a thatched roof and smoke coming out of the chimney. Or a design that is a bit more other-worldly.

I still think the game looks amazing though. And I expect the art-direction will be of the highest quality regardless.

 

[Edge_Maverick]

Wow!!

Thanks guys!!! HYPE *-*

 

[El-Pistolero]

That looks absolutely incredible! O O

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

The graphics look fantastic. Hopefully they keep native 1080p resolution and it will be amazing.

1080/60 would be fantastic, but there's no way they're hitting that without some concessions. I'd definitely take 1080/30 with a smile on my face.

 

[Trago]

Now all they need to do is show off some towns, NPC's, mini games, summons, and a fucking release date and I'll be 92.3% confident in this game being awesome.

 

[disappeared]

That video answered what was basically my main concern; that all that terrain they showed at first would be entirely non-interactive.

Thank god.

That looks like a world I want to explore.

I felt the exact same thing there. It looks like they jumped in an other game and marines will arrive soon.

A couple questions I still have though; whether they've been addressed or not, I don't know:

- Is the car on auto-pilot, or can the player take the wheel?

you can both auto-pilot or drive your self.

- Can the car be taken off-road?

- Was that the full map in its entirety?

- Car can be auto pilot or manually driven

- You can take it off road

- That was just one area of the game called Duscae region.

 

[Ishida]

I was absolutely and completely speechless during the duration of those videos. I'm not exaggeration, I wanted to squeal like a little girl, but just could't. My jaw hit the ground, made a hole and exited all the way to China.

Truly AMAZING!! The world seems to be HUGE. Animations are FANTASTIC. The day and night cycle is BEAUTIFUL and the forest looks really creepy at night!!

My only issue is that there seems to be some hardcore popping during while driving the car. You can clearly see objects appearing out of nowhere and the environment literally drawing itself as you go. I hope they can fix this in the final game.

However, when the characters go by foot.... DAMN... DAT LIGHTING, DAT SKY, DAT EVERYTHING!!

You can manually drive or let a party member drive for you.

I think it can be taken off road yeah, you can summon it to where you are.

That was just the area (Duscae) from the demo.

 

[Ran rp]

Now it's your turn to wow us, TLG.

 

[UrbanRats]

And here i am, more than 2 am in the morning, like a goddamn idiot in front of the monitor smiling.

I'll be honest, the country side is giving me hl2 ep.2 vibes

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

Oh man oh man. Looks so good.

 

[Brohan]

HOLY SHIT! That open world looks amazing!!

I just hope the combat doesn't mess up the gameplay.. because that would be an absolute shame.

 

[Stark]

- That was just one area of the game called Duscae region.

Going by interviews, only a portion of the Duscae region, too lol.

Tabata: In FFXV, there is an area called the Duscae region. You’ll be scratching the surface of that area in the demo version, so that’s why we used that subtitle.

 

[LuuKyK]

I can't unsee it now. The house's roof appearing out of nowhere. :Z

I know its nothing compared to how good this looks, but its still annoying me now. Dammit. Perfection ruined.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Legit spat my water everywhere. jesus christ

 

[Trago]

I can't imagine how nice the towns and cities will look. Especially with those day and night cycles.

 

[convo]

They are saying that events and such aren't implemented in this show case so the buildings don't have to be just scenery.

 

[HeelPower]

I'll be honest, the country side is giving me hl2 ep.2 vibes

Its giving me FFVII vibes.

FFVII had very humbly designed and grounded areas in the game.

 

[Ishida]

Sorry man, had to be said. I noticed it instantly and was like "WTF... I hope the game doesn't load like that while on foot". Thank God it doesn't, but I really hope they iron out that pop-in.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

What's happening M Night? Where am I?

The promised land.

 

[Rising_Hei]

i came

 

[Exentryk]

Going by interviews, only a portion of the Duscae region, too lol.

Yeah, I recall that. Wonder how many areas like this we'll get?

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looks so freaking good!

 

[leadbelly]

I felt the exact same thing there. It looks like they jumped in an other game and marines will arrive soon.

Yeah. Maybe there will be some ancient cities or something discovered in the game.
