Prompto is a good concept but he is wayy too annoyingly over the top, whether it's the voice acting or just his writing.

It's a combination of that and seeing this young adult emoting like a 4 year old.
Ignis though wouldn't be able to put Prompto in his place if it wasn't for the fact that he acts like hes 12.....I love the interactions they have lol.

Nope, common sense is not needed.
So, what? I wanted a FFVIII remake anyways. FFVII:R is going to be botched anyways.
Dualshockers (banned site so I can't link it here) may have worked out the rough actual size of FFXV's world map.
The perspective fucks with things but mostly averages out. It'll be nuts if this is correct.
EDIT: Note that the Witcher 3 image is just the main continent, I don't believe it includes Skellige.

I see what they're going for but it's like, everything I hate about that anime archetype into one character.

I don't know where I read it, but I remember recently seeing that Cactuars weren't in, at least yet. So either they added them in that time frame or I read something unreliable or misinterpreted something or am remembering something wrong or pretty much any other variable you can think of.
So basically, "trippin"

I think Tabata said they were still looking into how they would add them in the game. Tonberry is still up in the air.

No way in hell it'll be all explorable.
And if it is, i could actually start understanding those who thinks it'll be mostly empty of things to do
although i wouldn't mind
But i guess when you factor in all the various means of transportation (Car, chocobo, boat, airship), it should become much more easy to traverse.

Oh, no doubt - I'll bet the vast majority of those mountain ranges, for example, can't be explored and at most have roads you can drive through. Much of it is probably just there to look good from the airship. Still impressive.

I think their perspective is mucked up there, it's a square board but they measure one side to be almost three times as large as the other?
Realistically it'll likely be the size of the smallest side - 20km x 20km for 400km^2 total area, same as Just Cause 2. Still incredibly impressive, I mean, there's two cities there that are the size of the city in GTAV.
Yeah, and as i said i would still be okay with it because it reminds me of older FFs overworlds.
This was how the article mentioned that:
The guy used the number of pixels in the image to calculate it. It's not going to be perfect, for sure.

Whoa. It makes sense for the world to be that big if the main mode of transportation is a car going much faster than the horse in the Witcher 3 and this game not being entirely open world from the start like GTAV. Still, the size of this world is an incredulous sight.

Incredible if true,
Episode duscae was said to be 10% ( IMO) i'ts a small area
H.Tabata said The whole map would be about 10 times that of EP duscae.
Where in that map is duscae region?
And can we re-do the math again considering that info HT gave us?
Where did this come from? We haven't seen anything of Niflheim yet have we?

That's an extremely old picture of the Versus XIII development board. It may be completely obsolete as war as we know.
Probably just guess-work, but the location would make sense. In mythology, Niflheim is a realm of ice. That location is a mountaneous region, so it could be a cold place. It also makes sense from a story POV as well (it's not right in the neigbour of Lucis, but a bit further away). There really aren't any other cities marked on the map that make as much sense to be Niflheim as that one.
Ah ok. It actually looks kind of like Agni's Philosophy's city. :O
Haha, that would be crazy

Duscae is 10% of the world map. The demo was just a part of Duscae, so we don't actually know how much is "10%" of the map.
I hope dualshockers is completely off-base with that comparison though. That'd be horrible and probably turn me off from doing any side activities at all...
I also don't see how it's any impressive when everything is as dull as it can be. I'm pretty sure any developer can make something that big when you fill it up with nothing...
It's PS4Bone for now, but they'll consider PC once the console versions are done. Nothing has been said about NX. That is completely dependent on how powerful the hardware is. If it continues Nintendo's line of not going for even remotely powerful hardware and it's just some PS3.5, then I doubt NX will be able to run FFXV and they won't bother.

If I can have my Spotify stations play as the car radio, this will be perfect.
Here's the full one, btw:
Cool, thanks!
That's just your opinion. I think it'll be extremely fun driving through the kind of environments we've seen so far. They aren't dull. The coastal area looks pretty.
Again, empty space is not necessarily a problem so long as they manage to signal points of interest in the world well. I think a world that doesn't have crap every 5 feet is far better than something like The Witcher 3 where you can't turn around without bumping into another treasure, enemy camp, village or monster nest.
It'll make the game's world more believable if Lucis and Niflheim aren't a 10 minute drive away from each other.
The game is still a year or more away...

There are some interesting pictures/artworks there. You can obviously see Altissia to the right. There also seems to be some interesting monster design at the bottom(strange looking), and next to it, a cool looking train(perhaps the one where Noctis encounters the indoor blizzard). Over that one, there seems to be a heavy industrial area/town that looks sorta out of FFVII(or even Vector-like from FFVI). I think it's interesting that there seems to be some sky "light show" happening(natural phenomenon?) over it.
People also forget the roads are a transportation "minigame" to get around to another location. Instead of selecting an area on a map like in The Last Remnant or Lost Odyssey, you have the option to use a car (the Auto mode as seen in the trailer reminds me of a Chocobo porter in FFXIV) and maybe even a Chocobo/airship.
You don't need to get out your car to explore these "boring" parts, but if you want you can do that. Aside from that there will be landmarks and non-drivable areas that act as "dungeons" which seem to be more interesting than the generic highways that the car will drive on. If you don't like those roads, kick back and choose auto driving.
As the post I quoted, it's all about believability and conveying the feeling of being on a journey in a large world, something I miss when games prompt me to instantly go to a location by selecting it from a list.

So many things in that video made me remember why I haven't finished a Final Fantasy since 10. Square's direction for the franchise, and especially the Art direction / world design, just don't do it for me anymore.
Do i care that there are 4 different camera modes when in auto-pilot? Hell no, once i have somewhere unlocked, i'll be fast traveling since that road looks linear and boring. And then there's that music...

Nice, hope we'll get to explore that costal area on the top-right section.

Man it's crazy that since the first time i saw this image i started learning japanese and can actually read some bits!
It really has been a long journey...

I think this is the reason why they aren't' going the Dragon Quest VIII route with how the world is presented. I think Square knows some people wouldn't be able to swallow a world that isn't fully scale because the size of the quest and time it tales to travel might bite at them to the point that they won't accept anything not "realistically plausible". This isn't saying there AREN'T people who are more than willing to suspend their disbelief to enjoy it(and maybe give the dev team some slack in creating the world). I'm definitely one of them. But I think a LOT of people just can't, or won't. When you say you are aiming for a realistically presented world, people are going to take that at face value, even if they are full aware that's might not be something they'll like in the end, or a task easy to pull off.
And it's not like they are making an entire world, either(that would be an INSANE task). The look of the map shows that it's basically a region of a continent, not an entire planet. It's like FFXII's map, in a way, You know there's still more to the world(hell, in FFXII, you meet people from other parts of the world that isn't within the explorable regions of the game).
It won't line up unless you add a considerable amount of land. I'm thinking it's going to be similar to FFXII, not the full world scope, just a region/continent(s) of the world.
This is beautiful. I really hope each area is well designed with things to do, see, and of course while hearing Shimomura's music.
Maybe it's not that wrong, however I really don't think it will be fully explorable. I'm thinking more in terms of FFXII.
I wonder what's the obsession with seamless open worlds, I'm perfectly fine with segmented areas like FFXI, FFXII, FFXIV.
True, I'm just hoping there is something that we haven't seen yet that would make it line up correctly.
Otherwise that will be a lot of invisible walls on the top and bottom.
