Final Fantasy XV Demo Gameplay (XB1 & PS4 demos), Battle System, Night & Map Shown

I don't want to know anything about this game from here out. No demo, no video, no nothing. What ive seen looks so amazing and full of possibility i want to be surprised by the full game.
 
Do you want to know what keeps me awake at night?
Whether or not Stella is still in XV.

She's just Luna redesigned imo that's what I've been saying from the start.
 
Sure but how is the speed affected for each slash if I do that?

It kind of sounds like I'd just be awkwardly pausing a canned animation sequence by doing that.

If it's like Type-0 then the only animation cancelling you can do is by dodging (and I think summons?). But either way, it would probably look exactly the same as holding. Unless you took too long to press the consecutive attacks, in which case I suppose you would keep getting the "Break" attack.

Break attack?

Anyway. I'm glad dodging and movement is as important as it seems to be. I'm curious if there will be any one on one fights and what that'll be like.
 
I'm gonna have a heart attack when I realize I'm actually controlling Noctis in a physical video game with a physical controller and I don't have to wake up because IT"S REAL

It's one of the 5 weapons you equip.

the "Break" is the weapon that starts your combo. You go Break > Rush > Slash (the weapon that starts the combo, to the weapon that continues it, and then the weapon that finishes the enemy).

I'm going to try not to cry. Last main FF game I played was 12, which was the best FF to me behind 7. I just hope the game has the FF vibe to it. I'll know it within a few minutes of playing.

Oh man I'm getting emotional now. Please don't mess this up Square.

Sigh.

Ah I see. So you can set the same weapon for each slot right? Just making sure. lol

Uhm. I thought the demo would be available for digital buyers(whenever the hell they get it up for pre-order).

The post I quoted said "physical video game".

Then again even physical Type-0 is getting a download code, so it's still not physical FFXV Duscae regardless. :V

I have a good feeling about it. My only potential concern at this point is the party variety; I hope it's not just limited to these four guys. That being said, I enjoyed XIII-2 and Lightning Returns a lot even though they only had one or two party members entirely, but those were sequels/spinoffs. I don't have much of a problem with the known party, but I hope that's not like... it.

It'll be these four and a random guest character from time to time.
 
They are trying to do a thing here.

Four guys from a place called Lucis. Lucis means light.

Four heroes of light.

Ya get it?

Like in that old FF game.
 
No, but given the thematic direction we've seen since 2008, I would be surprised if there are any more.

Just figured that since we haven't seen much of the game that there would be more party members revealed later on especially as production is finally moving along as it should be.

Is anyone else bothered by the weapons appearing and disappearing out of thin air? Is there a story reason for this?

The people from Noctis' kingdom are sword summoners.

The reason why Prompto (the blonde guy) doesn't do that and uses guns is because he's presumed to be an outsider.
 
Personally, I think the execution is flawless. It never made sense why characters in RPGs could have every weapon in some invisible, bottomless bag.

Yeah, I think it's pretty cool. I certainly don't demand even a shred of realism in this stuff, but I don't mind thinking outside the box either.

I think you can only equip the same if you have 5 of that =X

Although you can equip nothing but the same type of weapon (the video had 2 spears at the same time for instance).

Wait I thought they were all childhood friends or something. How would Prompto be an outsider?

They are. Prompto was just not born in Lucis.

Well yeah, but there's no reason why he can't be an outsider.

“The puckish playboy Prompto befriended Noctis in his school days. He wears a chip on his shoulder as an outsider to the royal circle, but remains eager to do all he can for the cause. A friend who has been a bad influence to Noctis since his school days. While he can get carried away easily, there's another side of him which is driven to help friends in need.”

Shit now I'm just fucking okay with this. On top of that they're the Ninja Turtles. I have little room to complain here.

More on Prompto. Pretty much confirmation at this point that he's an outsider.

"A woman-chasing mood maker who has been quite different from Noctis and friends since their childhood days. He was their bad companion. He minds his childhood friends and has a different social status. In that extent, it seems like he wants to be useful to his friends. He is a bit shorter than Noctis and wears a sleeveless shirt and has messy blond hair."

Akio Ofuji refers to him as "mood maker" here. :p
