Thoughts:
- Noctis looks so silly in those other outfits.
- I am not playing this in English.
- The sidequests remind me of Lightning Returns. So much busywork. Such bad quest giver dialogue. I mean, such bad dialogue in general.
- I love the dungeons in this game Shimomura's music for them does not disappoint (36:45 ftw!).
- I didn't like how they kept cutting during gameplay and jumping forward. It looks like they also did this with Chapter 0 which is probably a lot longer.
- Good that it's confirmed that Iris has a health bar. It means she will be a party member at some point.
- I don't like how the menu has its own music.
- I hope later chapters are less of a slog than these.

 

[Kaizer]

Damn this looks awesome!

 

[The Last One]

Ok, there are SO MANY battle themes in this video. Maybe Shimomura kept composing for it for 10 years? lol

 

[-Horizon-]

Looks good in some, looks bad in others.

 

[Blackthorn]

Going to do my best to make sure everyone's wearing as little clothes as possible at all times to make this the big gay adventure it's meant to be.

 

[silva1991]

- Opening was too short, bad and pointless. I know what they were trying to do there, but the execution wasn't great
- story stuff VA were ok

other than those I liked what I saw

chainsaw weapon motherfuka.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

The animation looks stiff you can see the sword clip thru the ground

 

[Vinterbird]

Voice acting reminds me of a performance found in a Sonic game these days.

I hope the overall gameplay loop can make it tolerable.

Ok, having the cast find out about a tomb via a random little boy is as ridiculous as them finding out about out about the events of Kingsglaive via newspaper.

 

[Trojita]

Everyone blaming Tabata, but you wouldn't even get a game if Nomura was still in charge.

Or is that the better alternative?

 

[Shredderi]

as in you literally don't understand the english language? if so, you may be able to get a job voice directing final fantasy xv.

Lol.

Don't jinx it.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Looks amazing! Take your time, Square. Delay it to 2017 if you have to. It needs to be great.

[DeathSparks]

Spoiler

Buzzsaw

Sometimes nothing is better than what we get.

Duke Nukem would agree.

 

[rhandino]

It's everything really, can you imagine walking down the street and seeing this from across the street?

What conceivable acting direction was the mocap actress given?

She is like the worst parts of Yuffie, Selphie and Vanille blended into one... and I love those characters.

Isn't that typical rpg shenanigans? Now we're getting into nitpicking everything alil

Well

Spoiler

one of the 4 chan leaks says she a guest party member at some point.

Her back muscles were taken from her in a flashback early in the game.

FUCKING LOL

that's exactly what I'm doing. No way am I playing this game in English.

 

[AuthenticM]

The lighting is quite poor.

the line readings are dead, characters like cidney have cartoonish accents, there's no positional audio, the text doesn't sound like how english speaking people speak, and the lip synching is off. but yes i suspect if you are a fan of anime stuff these problems are par for the course.

totally

It looks just as good as Witcher 3 on consoles and that's without this added polishing coming.

no it does not lol

 

[Bluenoser]

Really concerned with the way they are swapping footage. For example, Behemoth fight was presumably PC, then swap to chocobo renting, used PS4 footage, then actually riding chocobos, back to PC. Didn't want to show FPS issues on PS4 ver? Or maybe it was XB1? Don't know, but can't help but being a bit worried.

 

[JP]

Somebody remind me, will the english language version also include the original Japanese voice acting? Although it's not essential, I usually prefer to do that if it's available.

Bwahahah.

No it doesn't.

 

[DeathSparks]

Noctis using the buzzsaw in battle, this is so stupid but I can't help but love it.

 

[minameissteve]

I didn't realize the Bloodborne pizza cutter was in this game.

 

[Ran rp]

Cor bb >

 

[Munba]

Incredible 52 mins. All forgiven now.

I think it's fair to demand more from a game then typical genre shenanigans.

Brah there ain't no Wii U version of Witcher 3 you are mistaken.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Thank god the game will have dual audio, otherwise i wouldn't even bought the game, i'm not listening to this for 40+ hours.

They knew exactly why they gave us the option for JP lol

 

[hodgy100]

Why is there so much aliasing on the hair?

They are using dithered transparency for the hair, it's quite normal as doing propper transparency for hair is very expensive. you can clean it up with some good temporal post process AA

 

[Styles]

Just finished watching the entire thing and aside from some atrocous VA & mixing I loved most of what I saw. Honestly can't wait for the game.

 

[DeathSparks]

GOTY 2016, better than SEGA Bass Fishing

 

[Blackthorn]

Gaf of yesteryear: "If you look past the atrocious IQ and performance, Dragon's Dogma is a brilliant game."

Gaf of 2016: "IQ and performance issues condemn FFXV to be a trash game for stupid people."

 

[MaximumSpider]

Noctis' voice sounds way better than before.

 

[Hentailover]

Everyone making fun of that girl... You know, I am gonna admit.

Spoiler

That's the character archetype made to appeal to the likes of me. As long as it's not pushed to extremes, I melt for cutesy girls like this .

 

[Ishida]

no it does not lol

It looks better than The Witcher 3. So you are wrong.

 

[chefbags]

Noctis' voice sounds way better than before.

Its cause its not batman aka christian bale deep voice anymore.

 

[TheTux]

Wondering why nobody is talking about chocobo races

Uh, what would you consider extreme?

 

[Diprosalic]

still looks like it could use a year or two worth of updates, maybe they'll get there one day.

 

[The Last One]

The mini-games. Oh gawd!

GIVE ME THIS GAME NOW

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

It's typical game shenanigans actually learn details from random smuck like..come on

 

[Hellraider]

Animations are a complete disaster. Everything is over-animated and so busy that it becomes confusing, transitions are terrible, clipping all over the place, feedback is most of the time just absent, an awful lot of sliding around. That's what happens when you bite off more than you can chew...

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

It looks better than The Witcher 3. So you are wrong.

i don't think XV looks awful but lets not say silly things

 

[Hentailover]

Uh, what would you consider extreme?

Vanille. And no, that's not just to shit on ff13, it just happens to have an example of this archetype pushed beyond levels of annoying.


Also, here's something dumb for ya
