Looking pretty good, I will wait for Digital Foundry before deciding whether or not to jump in first though, that and some reviews (learn my lesson from pre-ordering FFXIII), but I have high hopes for this one.
Also, just a warning, theres a book from 36:10 - 36:20 that I'm pretty sure lists all the summons in the game, or at least a bunch of them, I didn't look into it in that much detail as I would have liked to avoid that, so much for spoiler free!

The feeeeeeelssssssss.
Literally saved by the writing itself. So far.
Obvious technical shortcomings always are.
Thank you!! THAT'S it. I used to listen to this shit all the time a while ago. No wonder if it reminded me of PS1 FFs.
EDIT: Just to add, the main prelude we hear also has this really catchy, rhythmic vibe to it. I love both versions.

I don't know man, most of the people who watched the footage, as well as both press and users who played the recent builds came out extremely optimistic, and most where positively impressed by the combat.
Really liked the sprites on the weapon shop menu. They have changed some of the names of items as well. The map used to be called "Map of Lucis" and the coin that Ardyn throws used to be called the Oracle Ascension coin.
The sprint gauge also seems to be gone so I'm wondering if you have an unlimited sprint now. It looks really good and I really enjoy the banter between the guys. I'm just hoping that they can maintain that throughout the game. The hair for most of the characters looks much better but oddly Ardyn's hair still looks like shit I wonder what happened to his.

I've been safetly containing my hype until now, but suddenly I feel about ready to explode. It's really, truly almost here and it looks like exactly what I wanted. I've had ups and downs with the content shown, but it certainly looks to me like they've pulled it off. In less than two months I will be playing a new main line Final Fantasy again and shirking off studying for the finals for my masters courses. It'll be like Final Fantasy 12 all over again except back then I was just skipping high school classes.

Looks SO much better than the "Master" build. The delay really helped a lot. The wait continues to be a hard one though.

So glad the backgrounds and vegetations looks nice now. The blur fest/ low res backgrounds was turning me off.
Did they improved the X1 version too? Just noticed the old video with lower res assets was running on a xbox.
If they managed to pull those graphics on X1 too, it will be the biggest upgrade (after a downgrade) i ever saw with a couple of months delay.

Good thing it isn't trying to be like DmC
Benzy did an XBOX before and after here.

I love Pokken!
Looks gorgeous but that VA is shit.
Japanese VA is confirmed on NA versions, right?

Assuming the frame rate doesn't drop to practically zero when casting certain spells like in the Platinum demo, I might be interested

Didn't want to watch much cause I've been trying to go on a media blackout, but man it looks so good. I'm happy they delayed it to ship it looking this good. I imagine that day one patch was going to big.
Ahhh man, we're so close guys!! I can't wait till next month

From a few days ago:LODs and grass looks so much better now on Xbone. Much less shadow and grass pop-in too.

Game development in a nutshell. Games done this is what you get now
Just be that rebel that only dares to buy a game after plenty of reviews and extended impressions.
I mean, there are two demos, you don't need to judge just based on released footage.
And DmC has a lot of depth in its combat too. It seems you have an issue with acknowledging depth in a game you dislike. Not having as much depth as X doesn't necessarily mean it's shallow. There is an enormous gap between SHITSUX and DMC4, and pretty much every single game ever created is somewhere in-between. If Capcom makes a DMC5, it'll most likely be part of that gap as well.
Believe in the me that believes in you.

I really, really need to see a definitive statement of the improvements the PRO will bring to XV.
Will the frame rate be unlocked for PRO, giving us occasional glimpses of 60FPS?
Will the 1080p/30FPS be rock-solid and absolute?
If the only boons the PRO will bring are blowing the game up to resolutions my display can't handle anyway, then I'm sold on the Special Edition XV PS4 Slim.
But, if there's meaningful performance enhancements at 1080p then Sony can squeeze an extra 100 bucks out of me for this game, as well as Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
So far it feels like Sony and this game are selling me *out* of a PRO by showing constantly improving OG PS4 performance and being incredibly vague about what the PRO actually brings to the table for this game besides: "Something, we promise."

I think graphically and technically, it has seen a lot of improvements. Before there was like a weird vaseline effect that blurs the screen, now it's seemingly gone.
So all that is nice, but I still think the opening hour is weak. Nothing's really happening story-wise, we get no proper introduction to the characters and the setting, they dropped player into some kind of sandbox, open field with boring MMO quest to do (fight x monsters, find x item), and I fucking hate Cindy. Fuck her character design, fuck her accent.

That is actually PS4 footage too and the character models and hair are the exact same as they are now. They never changed. The biggest change from then to now is the lighting.

Not gonna watch the video but the reactions in this thread sound promising. I've been really worried about this game, but it seems like they're doing some good work in the final stretch. And I'll be playing this on a Pro, so I'm expecting great things.

Holy shit this looks so good. I think my excitement has been rekindled. Now I just need to keep trying my best to avoid spoilers and I'll be all set for Nov 29th

What's wrong with her accent? You got somethin' 'gainst the South?
It bears very little resemblance to DmC, and it's not trying to be a character action game. It's a weird tactical action RPG hybrid system. SE always does their own thing with battle systems, and more often than not they deliver.
Regardless, my point wasn't that it's character-action tight, it was merely that there are a LOT of combat systems to unlock and juggle in this game.

A creative choice to have technical weakness is hardly an admirable one.
Lmao
Her accent is cool
I think she's hilarious. Same with the squad's lil banters; they should dial back the constant grunts, however.
A little less conversation and a little more action.

Little love nods like this make me smile. Yeah, this should be a new tradition going forward, to feature the main party members as retro sprites in shop menus.
Her accent is cool
I like her accent too.

Her outfit might be awful, but I see nothing to complain about in her accent.

It's very, very, very over the top. I love how lively the voice actress is, but the accent could take a step or two back.
Its like the game was set to the low, PC preset before.

This is a textbook example of why delays are good. Issues are fixed while the cost of the game remains the same.
