Final Fantasy 15: Yebis 2 Only Used in E3 2013 Trailer, Further Usage Uncertain
- Thread starter Wishmaster92
- Start date
The 2013 trailers is definitely is using the same models as from the 2011 trailer, although the textures do look more detailed now, but that is more than likely a result of the improved lighting from Luminous.
What is possible is in the 2011 trailer they used some downsized assets for the PS3 build, while now on the current PC build they are using the original masters, the animation and general movement is the same too between 2011 and now.
Although I feel that this would only apply just from the 2013 Lucis footage, the models in the Accordo footage looked more detailed and polished than the Lucis footage, so they might even have updated masters now.

Yebis sounds like a rejected Ratchet and Clank planet name.
Render Target and Target Render are two different things
Render Target is what's described there - simply where the current rendered pixels are ending up. Generally that'd be the framebuffer (which is what gets sent to the screen), but there are reasons you might want to assign a different render target for various effects.
A target render is a demonstration of what you *want* a game to look like, using more powerful systems and a fixed, scripted sequence to save time. It's meant to be representative of the final game, although frequently they don't live up to them.

Well ... that definitely does look the same, but with some kind of improvements. Nice job with the screen captures.
This definitely does change my mind. I had no idea XV would have assets in it from 2011, and earlier.

Don't care how flashy you make it look.
Just make a good RPG ffs.

But running in real time, albeit not on game code, not on final hardware.

Is the black menu from more recent stuff? I liked how minimalist the UI looked.
The black menu is the old one, and is not there anymore. As far as we know.

Almost certainly the latter in my eyes.
really? oh my...
after FFXIII I really don't have a lot of faith in SE
they probably will use old assets and throw better lighting and effects to "enhance" FFXV in PS4/XB1.
Didn't know that, are these target renders too? They don't look as good as the e3 trailer.
that building in last screenshot is horrible

Consider it's one year we don't get to see anything about the game, that means one year of secret development and rebuilding. Fall 2015 will be two years of development, with more added years if you consider they're working on this on full scale from 2011. I think there's a chance the game will be quite amazing and on time for 2015 at least in Japan.

The twist is they just started actual development.
man that would suck. It seems like it is completely in the realm of possibility though
If they were doing stylized visuals instead of hyper realism this game might be out already.
I hope it will be amazing, that much I do know. I am expecting it to be decent. I hope it isn't terrible.
^That sums up my feelings.
At least the soundtrack will be amazing, even if the game is a half-finished mess that sinks SE forever.

the game is going to get a massive downgrade. For those wondering it was running on powerful pc's at e3 2013
Yeah, wouldn't want to reveal too much about development 7-8 years after it was first revealed to the world!"There is nothing more we can say for now"
Jesus.
AT LEAST WE HAVE OUR LIGHTNING NOVELS~~~
I already expect the soundtrack to great. I enjoy most OSTs in the main series.

I know the luminous engine is still nowhere near completion, but what engine was agnis philosophy running on?
I'm pretty sure it was luminous
Let's get this out of the way. The footage in this video is definitely gameplay.

There's even another video where there's slightly different footage with more grunts from Noctis.

I highly doubt that this is a target render.
We can only hope that the game reaches the target render's level of fidelity.

I think it's safe to say that the game will look like if not better than what that screenshot is showing. FF never slouches on visuals, and this is using older assets.

Hehe nice.
They did the same for FFXIII. Until I see someone hold a controller and play the game, everything is a target render to me. It's the best thing for my sanity.
Will FFXV retain that modern Japanese city look from the Versus13 trailers?
From the old Versus13 trailer, you were fighting a Behemoth in the middle of a modern
street at night, along with riding mechs.
The recent trailers of FFXV seem to show a heavy European styled influence with regards
to infrastructure and setting. Which is disappointing.

Is there a game that has had a longer development?
Different cities, I think. There are supposed to be cities inspired by Tokyo and Venice.
Those are two different kingdoms, the Venice inspired kingdom from the 2013 trailers is Accordo, the Shinjuku inspired kingdom seen most trailers is Lucis.
The 2013 trailer also showed new Lucis footage but from a different location in the kingdom from the 2011 trailers, the 2013 Lucis footage was in the same location as where the 2006 trailer takes place, which is probably supposed to function be like a modern castle tower of sorts since it seems fairly central to the kingdom, while in 2011 they showed more of the street areas, but you could still see the tower in the background at certain points.
The starting point of the game would be Lucis, then after that prologue of the game we'd probably then get access to the world map where we then can travel to the medieval kingdoms around the rest of the world.
