Hopefully the delay eases some of the people's worries here.
IMO I don't see any problem whatsoever at least not glaring ones. Voice? I don't know, I'm not a native English speaker but I don't find any problems. I'll definitely play on English VA because I don't want to miss tidbits of conversation while travelling because I don't understand Japanese. Lighting is fine but could use some polish on day time. The part where they were in the cave after the little boy's tip was absolutely amazing. Animation could also do some work so they won't slide or clip but it's pretty negligible.
I just hope Neo mode is supported.

Okay, so I know it's incredibly common in JRPGs, but I really, really dislike the kind of framing device they're using right up-front.
Having said that, the beginning of chapter 1 and the title card is like, the exact thing I was hoping for from this game.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Ah fuck 'em.
Ni No Kuni did it beautifully.
Ni no Kuni sure looks beautiful.
But it being fun is another story.

This should be Noctis ;___;
Tales games have a way lower budget. Plus Level 5 are much better devoplers.

Woops, I posted in the wrong thread. Copypasta:
Only skimmed through the video because I don't want to see too much of the opening chapters.
Yeeeeeeah, I'll be playing this with the Japanese audio (not that I wasn't going to before, but this doubly confirmed it for me).

No. NPC's in The Witcher are some of the ugliest motherfuckers.
Lighting in TW3 can't even come CLOSE to what FFXV is doing, there is not even a contest. Lighting in The Witcher is nothing to celebrate, really.

Dont watch the first 10 seconds. Yeah kinda... with lots of sidequests.
Just watched the whole video. My thoughts are maybe the compression was bad and I was watching a bad youtube video because it was choppy as hell. Hopefully youtube is the reason for the crappy framerate. Also, a lot of ridiculous hairdos. Like performance crippling stupid (possibly), as well as stupid looking in general.
On the plus side, I finally think I saw a person not white (or whatever the word it is when Japanese try to make things universal but essentially make their avatars white) and that was nice. Admittedly I haven't engulfed all the media between this and the cg movie, but I have half been watching it a bit and I think it's nice to place a fry cook person of color in the game as a nod to the existence of people of color.
On the non sarcastic up side, after the first 30 minutes of the video, it did start to get interesting. The combat in the first bit was boring, but both the combat and the story were kinda interesting by the end. I collected the crap out of monsters in FFX, so if the diner missions are a collectathon end game leading to a fight with an ultimate monster, then that would be fun.

It's the first 3 chapters (condensed to 50 minutes by editing) that the press also got to play. They're basically showing us what they'll be writing about.

The banter between Ignis and Prompto is hilarious. "I've already pushed myself...to the brink of death."

It's a mix of XB1 and PS4 footage, you can see the XB1 parts look noticeably worse.

Looks great still day 1 for me especially that soundtrack.
I mean if this wasn't FFXV, something else would have been.
It's a world map. Since it's not a 1:1 overworld, you get to your destinations and locations quickly, so the barren factor doesn't matter. And it definitely looks more pleasing to the eyes than what FFXV got going on at the moment. Trying to chase western open worlds is probably what has caused so many problems to this game and to VsXIII. Hell, you don't even need that to be a successful western RPG. The Mass Effect games don't have open worlds.
I haven't explored an actual, whole world in a Final Fantasy game in 16 years. Would enjoy doing that again.

- Witcher 3 also had an aggressive LOD on consoles with a lot of pop-in.
- Witcher 3 was developed by a Western studio with a priority for English voice acting.
- As you said in the 'current state', so it is in development and might look better on release, or perhaps on NEO.

So what is this footage from? PC or PS4/Xbox One?

Holy shit.
Animations in this game are up there with the best in the industry. Loved that little, confident throw!
There's footage from both consoles. XBox One looks blurrier.

I'm laughing so hard at people celebrating this shitty lighting like it's the second coming of god.
Agni's Philosophy looked better, hell even Duscae looked better.
FF really makes people blind it seems.

Funny joke. You got me there!
Agni's Philosophy is a tech demo, not a full blown game. Are you being serious right now or just pretending...?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I'm liking Ignis more and moreBonus (from the previous gif)
Anyone have any clear shots of the rest of the timeskip cast? To be honest, I barely noticed anything different. Gladio's samurai bun and Ignis' dealwithit.gif glasses are all that I picked up on

Looks weird, doesn't seem to gel together well.
Looks like they need to two extra months.

"Are you serious?" says the one praising this like it's the best lighting.
I can't.
Being a tech demo means shit, Arkham Knight reached UE demo levels.

Bits. There are cuts to several parts of the game.
Best lighting? Nope. But I'm not the one comparing a tech demo to a full game. That's ridiculous.

Do you have high hopes for the game?
Did you feel that way for Starcraft 2 or the Mass Effect trilogy? Because that's what Nomura is doing with this game.
The lighting alone in the VII-R video looks so much better.

Oddly cut footage of the first hours of the game. Skip the first 3 mins

This might be just your opinion but after FFXIII, if they had decided to go for a world map like Ni No Kuni, the shitstorm would be HUGE and they would be mocked.
I Am Setsuna also has similar overworld. I am fine with it but people just expect next generation stuff from a FF and sadly this means an open world like in the Western games.
I only see people comparing it to Witcher 3. I don't know what you're reading.
And I don't really know what you're talking about. Arkham Knight doesn't look as good as Agnis Philosophy...so, yeah, don't understand your point.

Could they pick a less fitting voice for this guy? How out of touch are they?
