Anybody notice this?
Something in particular there? I have updated OP with all these.
Not convinced about the little map being the world map, since the other continents (almost islands) will be too small compared to the centre one.

The big one could just be the continent they are currently on and the others are being cut off.

Yeah, that's possible. May very well be the world map then.
Sweeet, thanks a lot to both of you.
I brought that up, that's my screenshot even lol.
Anybody notice this?
I was thinking the same as you, the big mass on the center being a bigger continent and the islands around being not as small as they look, with possibly more around it. Regardless, I'm looking forwad to the world map being satisfyingly big.

Real time cutscenes?

I'm scared it's just going to feel exactly like Kingdom Hearts/Crisis Core......
aargh, this is totally going to happen, isn't it

I don't understand the notion that Action RPG=Kingdom Hearts.
This doesn't look like Kingdom Hearts to someone who knows what Kingdom Hearts looks and feels like.
Cactuar Spotted!
That made me happy.
Thanks for that. I wonder if there will be anymore odd referential trinkets.
Perhaps there will be collectibles in the form of things such as this?
If the real time cutscenes look as good as the Agni's philosophy demo, then I don't see the point of even using CG.
On the map:
How likely for that to be the world map? I see a huge continent and smaller islands around it. Maybe when you open the map you can zoom out to enlarge that icon.
The big one is a map of the city and the small one a world map (I hope). Kagari what's your take on this? Sorry if you already answered.
Looks like the zoomed out map of that area.

That's great. I'd hope they appear in-game, of course- Moogles and Chocobos too.
If it's becoming a mainline title there's a couple of things it needs to add. A guy called Cid is needed also.

There are lots of warp points all over the environment - it definitely won't feel restricting at all. Plus there'll be things like hidden treasure and stuff in places that can only reached by warping strategically.

yup it made smile when I saw that.Just so hilarious finding a cactuar in this epic scene.I think riding chocobos is a must..I really hope they are in the game
So I was watching both trailers on my PS3 ,and I just instinctively tapped the analog stick hoping to change camera angles LOL
Looking at Noctis' warping ability, could that be an example of his l'Cie abilities? I say this because be blue after image looks the same color as that glowing blue symbol when he faces off against Stella as well as him seemingly being the only character who can do it.
His friends were sort of saying he was super powerful due to his special power right?

Well, that IS the part where Noctis throws his sword at an airship and zero-shifts to it, no surprise that his allies would be far away, especially if it's during the part where Leviathan starts to go craycray and throw shit around.
Also, I do think that's the whole world map (perhaps not the whole world of XV, maybe just a part of it like how Matsuno likes to do things). I wouldn't be too worried if it looks small, since I'd guess that the "main continent" in the middle is absolutely huge and the rest are still big enough that they'll take a considerable amount of time to go explore. If it was this way, I could actually believe that you could have an airship and a completely seamless world, just one where (at some point) the airship would automatically do an 180 degrees, so you can't go around the world like you could in old FF games.

I am quite sure that we can see the player controlling different characters in the gameplay trailer. Although, it is for barely a second or two, at the end of the video.
A scene with Prompto in focus
Another one
I don't think the player is controlling Noctis here who seems to be limping due to low health. Prompto is attacking in his place.
Gladiolus wrestling the hell outta a solider

I really can't see that being the world map.
The distance between Noctis and the other party members would be obscenely big if so.
Definitely not 60... maybe not even 30 most of the time...
What's odd is that the trailer had drops while the game play video had none for a similar scene. I think they'll aim for 60 though.

Yeah, framerate needs some work. Plenty of time for that, though!

well in some segments is seemed incredibly smooth so thought there was a chance it was running at 60 at least on the development kit. (like the palace)
it understandably dips when there's a fuck ton of enemies all over the map tho
yeah it is very smooth in the gameplay trailer overall, although I have a feeling 1080p and 30fps is what they're targeting.
would love 1080p and 60fps!

Do you think the demo was being played on PS4 equivalent spec? I know they are developing on a DX11 PC (which sounds fairly standard), but do you think what we have seen is the baseline for what we should expect on PS4?
Also, was the footage in the trailer also gameplay or target render? I thought only the KH stuff was target render...

Initially I was really bummed out by the action orientated direction, over traditional turn-based...but I feel if we get a big overworld, with towns etc, I could overlook that.

KH is target.
XV gameplay is the real deal and the game itself is running on a development PC. Nomura said they're aiming to improve the visuals even further so I think we can at least expect what we saw in the trailer to be what we get on PS4. Probably even better if he's confident they can up it even more.
It isn't unheard of for Final Fantasy to have a large continent and a bunch of small ones. Also, Type-0 only has one Continent, so it isn't out of the question.
that would be awesome as well as something a la gold saucer with other various types of mini-games
Anyway, this is wishfull thinking but, i hope that if theres a summon system(and i dont know why there wouldnt be) that we can customize and equip summons to whatever character we want and the benefits specific summons would give to each character as well

Haven't been this excited for a FF game since number nine!
Given what the PS4 can do, those level of graphics are definitely achievable. I'll have to double check, but I believe in one of the interviews he said it was on a PC similar to PS4 spec.
In another interview he basically said the system with the best specs will be the highest quality so hopefully that doesn't mean they'll aim for the lowest common denominator here.

Wait for the next trailer
GAF will lose their minds.
All we've seen in this trailer is a tiny glimpse of what the game offers - the next one will be a real blow out.
I distinctly remember him saying (in the Square E3 stream) that they aim at the best they can do and eventually downport to all the compatible platforms.
So we shouldn't fear them crippling the game due to sloppy HW (i'm obviously thinking about Xbone in this case, it being the lowest common denominator of the three).

There'll definitely be chocobos in there - my bet is that there'll be a rural village that breeds them.
Yeah, next gen isn't like the current one where there's essentially two platforms of equal power. Basically it'll be like the PS2 vs. Xbox in terms of power differences.
No, I mean the small map that is on the down right corner. There's the detailed map of the city, and then there's a kind of map that shows a big continent and smaller islands around it.
there has to chocobos to traverse thr masssive expanse :v the birdie fellas got to be in this one :v
