How is the framerate in the latest build?
Is it improved since Duscae or the Platinum Demo?

FF15 E3 Hands on Previews
- Thread starter Lifejumper
- Start date
I am still somewhat sad and disappointed that they stuffed up one of -if not- the most important moments of the game's marketing campaign with the demo.. in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers. It might have irreversibly damaged the game's sales potential.
I don't know why some people are holding that leak so dear to their hearts. It's like they want this game to fail.

What did they say?
Here's a pretty good summary of their impressions:
If you want the full thing: https://www.twitch.tv/easyallies/v/72504026
FFXV discussion is towards the end.
To sum it up:
The actual demo at E3 (Trial of the Titan) was very basic and boring. The scale of titan is impressive but the way you take him down is too easy.
They also played a longer demo which consisted of the first and second chapter. Performance was very bad and the world seemed barren. Also cutscenes and acting were missing any urgency and characters didn't really sell the situation.

The magic-mixing system was just introduced yesterday. Here is Tabata introducing it with gameplay during his stage presentation.
Should be noted that Tabata said that the objective of the E3 demo (freeze Titan's arm) will be different in the final game.
Probably doesn't change the fact that you'll still have to do the basic "stand in place and just press the dodge button at the right time" like EZA group described it.

What happen to weapon skills where you press triangle to activate? Are they really changed to directional input+attack now?
This is something that I just can't defend. Sure, read it on a newspaper I don't really care, but the fact that these guys have to sit and ponder wtf is going on and not rush to see their nation being occupied is damn weird.
Like, what's going on here? Why don't any of them try to see what's going on?
Isn't the next part in the main quest them actually going to check out what's going on in Insomnia?

Reading that their nation is being attacked through newspaper felt kinda silly though. It's like nobody cares to pick up the phone and let them know about the invasion? The hell.
They are obviously in a state of disbelief.
I still can't get over how they hear about the invasion through a freaking newspaper lol. So anticlimatic compared to what it was in Versus XIII.

They tried to return to Insomnia after hearing about it, but Niflheim wasn't allowing them inside so at least there's that.
But I think the feeling of urgency is pretty difficult to pull of in open world games like these where you can just not give a fuck about story stuff, and go fishing or something.
I was under the impression they can't receive any calls, because of some sort of interruption. That's the reason why they can't reach anyone in that one scene except for Cor who seems like the only who makes it out along with Luna.
Also doesn't Regis know something is going to go down and that's why he sends Noctis and his friends away. Could've told everyone to not contact him.
Honestly the scenario I'm okay with. It's the way the voice acting and dialogue play it off that bothers me.
Yea true, but the invasion isn't a focal point of the story anymore. This got removed but what if its replaced by a ton more climatic scenes that make up for it?
It just feels like a weird reaction for all four of them to have. If my home was being taken away from me, I would show a bit more urgency at least.
Regis wanted him out for the invasion and likely blocked off all communication. Cor basically confirms this in the Uncovered trailer.
Yes, but they wait and think about what to do for a minute. It's like they have to convince themselves to go.
It seems like Noctis wants go immediately, but then you got someone like Ignis being level headed and not rushing into it.
The dialogue just plays it off weird.
I can echo this sentiment, but I also think the uncovered special trailer hints at Noctis emotional response to the news comes later in the game. He might be in disbelief as they just read it in a newspaper. That is, I think the scene is written as it should be given that they are all in a state of disbelief.
the current management seems hellbent on sending it into the fray even if it is not ready. SE release schedule is packed in October.

very impressive summon here. I wonder how the game will decide which attack/version the summon will execute.

I'm guessing it depending on where you are, or how open the space is. I remember reading that even inside dungeons, the summons will act differently as obviously you can't have these expansive sequence inside a cave.
Dying to see Leviathan's Tidal Wave!
Wow. That's all I needed to hear.
good lord will this roller coaster ever end
If this game launches in a suboptimal state it's going to get destroyed by reviewers.

In terms of spectacle, yeah that was quite an eye opener, just like Ramuh's attack when it was first showcased in Episode Duscae. Still, mechanically speaking, we still have no idea how the summons work, like the conditions to summon them and if there are any ways to customize or level up the summons over time. We do know summons will work differently in different locations, so that's cool.
I want to see some new, actual dungeon gameplay in FFXV. Really, all we've seen so far are outdoor environment, very few indoor ones outside of towns. Crisis Core and Type-0 had some pretty terrible dungeon level design, so I want to be convinced that FFXV is much improved over those.

Just watched Live Stage Presentation - E3 Day 1. Holy shit, the combat is much much much better than the "dodge to be awesome" MS presentation. I don't know why they thought that Titan fight was a good idea to demo

I love this -- when they started showing the full attack on the ATR I was like "yeah yeah, he picks up the big rock and throws it, I know," but then the huge earthquake effect w/ those stone pillar eruptions, and they're still there when it cuts back to the party! Definitely got a "woah" from me.

It'll be a huge missed opportunity if the end credits don't contain pictures Prompto takes throughout the game. Could be a nice way to tug at the heart strings at the end of an epic journey. :}

Calling it now that chaining any kind of Cure magic with Lightning results in a Cure-All type spell.
Can't wait for this to drop, but they have been really butchering the marketing on this.

ahhhhh ! Nice to see someone who know how to play correctly haha (*I'm looking at you Matt)
Mat is gonna play the titan demo all the way through for square Enix presents today. He better redeem himself and not suck lol. If he does he'll destroyer newcomers first impressions of this game live for the thousands watching.
So Cura. Maybe Curaga with a stronger spell.

Im in the same boat now. I actually think there is a distinct possibility that we need to prepare for that the game is just going to be bad. I dont want that, but im preparing for it.

Tabata presentation was on PC. Guessing the Gamestop footage is PS4.
Here's I believe someone from Digital Foundry talking about performance in the E3 Titan demo: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=207138488

I like the sound of magic synthesis, but making it consumable? Eh.
Mostly worried about performance though.

I hope this is the case. I was about to post how worried i am about FF15 because of that demo, but also the carbuncle demo we got recently too, the combat looks ..well awkward and frustrating.
Hope the main game proves me wrong, or either by that stage i would have settled into the system intricacies.

Though this is only about the performance during the E3 demo. Not the first 2 chapters, which I don't think is playable at the showfloor?

That's really good to hear. Fingers crossed all issues are resolved and E3 build is rushed
Oh don't worry, they're integrating his pictures with some invasive Facebook integration bullshit.

Yikes.
I dunno, I thought Duscae demo area didn't feel empty to me. Hopefully the full game is the same.
