Final Fantasy XV Taipei Game Show | January Active Time Report Thread

Looked really solid compared to last time, guess they have a bit more optimization under the hood now.

Still seemed pretty choppy, and these are very carefully chosen clips. We don't even really know which platform build that was, even with button prompts.
 
I dunno, if Tabata,had no problem with replacing Stella, I don't see why he shouldn't take the blame for choosing what to change and what to keep. Nomura is off the game now, Tabata is clearly in charge.
So it's
"Omg Tabata, you changed this!"
And
"Omg Tabata, you kept this!"

Duscae is the best thing that ever happened to this game. All these changes look fantastic. How would the game look like right now if they continued the path that was set with Duscae? The feedback really did make changes happen.

They did. The other person debuffed the enemy or something and it placed a warp point for Noctis to teleport up where the enemy was.

It's not character switching but the player having the control over other characters using unique abilities. You can see on the lower left of the screen. When the player chooses for Prompto to use Flash Bomb, the camera switchs to Prompto.

It just feels silly considering what was discussed around Stella and Regis.

Tabata changes something = he's ruining Nomura's vision
Tabata keeps something Nomura designed = he's making bad choices as a director

"A fantasy based on reality" goes really deep.

Right, it depends on what people think of each thing he kept, changed, or added. If we like it, that's good. If we don't like it, we say so. That's how things work. Wh foes it matter what Nomura did when he is not even on the game anymore?

I completely agree. Whoever's idea it was to build Duscae needs to get a raise or something.

Oh god...

Turns out you were playing as
Stella
the whole time.

It wasn't Luna whom Noctic met during his childhood. It was both Stella and Luna. During whatever ordeal that happened, Noctis died, Luna used her powers to transfer Stella's soul into Noctis' body.

That's why Luna is waiting. For Stella to come back. Midway during the game Luna and Noctis met meets. They perform the great Eidolon Grand Spell and Stella gets her body back while Luna is sacrificed. You get to romance Prompto, Gladiolus and Ignis for the rest of the game.

I like that they added the ability to give your teammates commands mid battle. Kind of makes up for not being able to control them.

When the game ends, you get a teaser trailer about the soul of the real Noctis and dead Luna in a dark world not unlike XIII's Valhalla. FF XV-2 will be about the two discovering the real truth about the Eidolons and their legends, and the journey to travel through the underworld to find Etro so that Etro can take her rightful place and revive Noctis and Luna.

You will capture lesser Eidolons and use them as party members.

As amazing as all of this is I do have to say it's a disappointment that the story set-up sounds like literally the exact same thing as Type-0.

He's been getting more applause when bringing back the older Versus 13 look/gameplay mechanics that we're spoken of/showed in very early builds and game footage.

The most notable changes he's done was polishing everything out, which is sort of expected.
Everyone has doubts about Luna and her relevance. She still looks like a flat character and people really want a more compelling fighter/magic user/Opposing Force like Stella was.

If a trailer with Luna using magic and fighting/beating the crap out of Noctis is ever shown. Then I'll be happy with her character.
