The Niconico stream that nearly everyone missed, and that had actual gameplay in contrast to the ATR, found it's way to Youtube.

Great to see that the Regalia is now freely steerable on the roads and dirt roads and that you can even crash into other cars and the side of the road if you really want to ruin the car and pay a lot of hard earned cash to repair it. Yes, that was exactly what we wanted!Thanks Tabata for actually listening to the players that were disappointed by the very restrictive Gamescom build.
I'm actually glad to see the driving is more natural now, if you just want to see the sights then get Iggy to drive. Options are good especially with one of the major features in the game.

That looks really cool. Well done masking out the SAMPLE text too. Saved.

Liking the car footage
Btw, can someone explain to me what happens to car once you get to Altissia?
Altissia is disconnected from all landmasses (unless I'm mistaken).
Amaaaazing 😂😂😂😂😂

Thirteen flew over the cuckoo's nest
Cause the whole point of the plot is the King sending him out to save him? I don't think this never happened in our own history...
Tabatyx will haunt me in my dreams.

You take a boat, car is left behind in parking lot @ the port I guess.
Because Regis sent him to Altissia, in order to protect him. He knew Niflheim would take over Insomnia, and he knew they would lose.
I also prefer the original opening, but I don't think the changes are nonsensical. I actually really like the idea of starting the game in a carefree road trip while all of the Kingsglaive shit goes down in Insomnia, and only finding out what was going on later (though the way they find out could be better). I miss the original opening mostly for the invasion setpiece, getting to spend more time in Insomnia in general, as it's a really cool location and that kind of stuff, not really for story reasons. Conceptually, pushing the car that just broke during a road trip with your 3 best friends is an amazing opening, imo, even better than an invasion, but games aren't just concepts, so fighting your way out of the city would absolutely be much more enjoyable than holding R2 for a couple of minutes.

Yeah.
Wait, did I just see a Kings Knight mobile remake? Wow, SE is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for IPs 
I remember receiving that game for my 8th birthday, but wasn't interested in it... I returned it to the game store and used the money to buy this newly released game that I've been reading about in all the mags... Final Fantasy 1.
Later did get to play Kings Knight, and it's not terribly fun. Slow-paced and sluggish.

Much better.
This is probably what was on the Day One patch. I don't think it's from feedback since the SIGGRAPH stuff showed this level of freedom on the road + car crashes and damage.
Don't know what else they can add to it. I hope they don't, since it would kinda go against the idea of this being your dad's cherished car. Allowing car crashes and making it less on rails is already one compromise that was necessary.

Much agree with you. At this point, the car seems to be a character in itself !

Love the changes they made to the car. It's perfect now. And the customization is great.

Much better, although I hope they tweak the impact on different objects. For example, the measly road sign stops you dead in your tracks, without it being damaged at all. Looks strange.

You do know that you still won't be able to steer out completely out of the road, right?
stargateheaven

Yeah, i never really wanted that. I just didn't see the point of "manual" if it just meant you press R2 to move along the rail. It may aswell be auto-mode. At least you can turn around and turn on the road now.
Also:
So glad the car isn't completely on rails anymore.
But can you get the driver out of the truck and beat him up?
Tabby add this option in a update.

My idea opening for the game would have been....
- Sleepy Noctis and Prompto are goofing off in the kingdom
- Regis feels danger coming so he pushes Noctis and Prompto to take fighting seriously
- They train with Gladio
- Regis assigns Ignis to watch Noctis' back
- You can do some side quests and stuff
- Explore the kingdom and see how they truly view Regis and Noctis
- Cute scene of Noctis talking with Luna
- Invasion happens...
- Noctis meets up with the guys amiss the chaos and Cor urges them to escape
- And the game really begins....
That's something I would've like to see but nope....

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
This actually would've been a very fantastic intro to a final fantasy game that's supposed to be incredibly contemporary compared to the others.Mine would've been:
"NOCTIS OUJI"
That's kinda gross though
He just saved his own blood and let everyone else suffer and die painfully?
A lot of cuts and changes have frustrated many, but this is the one that truly bothers me. The original invasion would have been so good to play through. But nope, movie, yay.

The reason to that seems to be a story point because Noctis literally calls him stupid for saving only him.
If Noctis thinks that is stupid, maybe he'll also think finding out his home was destroyed from a newspaper is stupid too.

I hope there's more than 3 towns in the entire game. A chocobo farm would look nice around the duscae area.

Such a fantastic little establishing character moment, I never get tired of watching it. You live on in my heart, Mr. Chauffeur.
But what if it was boring to play through?!?
We have no idea at this point how many towns there will be...But there will at least be three, maybe 4: Lestallum, Altissia, the Santorini inspired one that was spoiled in a screen in one of the tech conferences...
...and the one in Tenebrae, at least it seems to be some sort of town since it has a train station and some buidings scattered in the valley.
I'm not including Insomnnia here since it won't act as a town but a field/dungeon.
On the map there are several more spots with bigger agglomerations of buildings. I really wonder if we will be able to get to all of them or if many of them were actually never realized. (The game loosing it's open-world approach in the second half could be an indication for cut/changed content.)
Towns of Eos:
green = we know will be explorable
orange = towns that we don't know we will actually visit
question marks = rather large buildings?
The Santorini inspired town is very likely the one on the cost to the west of Galdin Quay.
Funnily enough, he's actually in the latest episode of Brotherhood, but its such a quick cameo that I don't expect people to see it. When i saw it I literally said "Mr. Chauffeur is still alive!?!?!"

How cool would it be if chapter 0 was Kingsglaive but in the form of cutscene and gameplay. We get to learn the basics of the story through the eyes of another man, the impact would be so much stronger as we follow Noctis's journey afterwards. Kingsglaive also got few key moments that would have made the prologue exciting and filled with blood pumping action sequences to grab the attention of player.
Nope...all it ended up becoming is a movie. Instead we have a short lame flash forward of them getting their asses kicked.

Well, if i have to go into details, then my dream FFXV opening hours would be:
- Close-up shot of the Mythology painting, with Luna voicing the myht we read at the beginning of Ch.0 "In times unknown a prophecy blablabla..."
- -cut to white-
- Party pushing the car, a small group of monsters attacks, forcing Noct to stop pushing and fighting (base battle tutorial about attack/defend/switching weapons), then goes back to pushing, cut to the sky with the title of the game (no Amano logo)
- -cut to black-
- Chapter 0: Insomnia Falls
- CGI cutscene similar to the one in the game, but instead of Altissia Regis is sending Noctis to the building where the treaty celebrations are being held, he's supposed to announce his wedding with Luna; Noctis also rocking the suit
- "Noctis-Ouji"/Noct lookign out of the car window scene but with the bros instead of Driver-san, same banter of the KG post-credit scene; Quick shot of Iedolas and Ardyn entering the royal palace
- Noctis arrives at the building, player starts controlling the character, goes up the elevator; meets up with Luna (and Gentiana), famous Somnus scene now playing on the rooftop like Kingsglaive
- "ITS A TRAP" CGI scene plays
- Insomnia invasion begins, the player has to first reach the royal palace, fail to do so and then leave the city; also boss battle against Aranea
- "Party leaving the city at their back" CGI
- -cut to black and title with Amano logo-
- Hammerhead event
The only problem with this kind of opening, which i thing is one of the reasons Kingslgaive got made, is that it wouldn't leave enough time to properly introduce character like Ravus or Ardyn, or concepts like the Royal ring and whatever.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
The invasion alone would've cost a shit ton of money to actually produce. And with a finite budget and development time for the project a rewrite was the best option.
