Er... Is this the list of all summons in game?

Did they just spoiled the full list?

Game looks sooooo much better now (not that I thought it looked really bad to begin with). I think they made the right decision in delaying the game.

Why is his behind protruding through his pants? I thought this was fantasy based on reality? No the other way around? This whole scene is problematic.

Tabata was asked this directly and refused to answer the question, for what that's worth. He did also say in the past, though, that the number of summons in the game is something fans may think is underwhelming.
 
I had no interest in the game in its previous form - the graphics seemed off and the demo I played originally didn't have the best frame-rate, but this video makes it seem downright fun.

Depending on how the game reviews I may have to pick it up - I wonder what the PS4 Pro improvements will be....

I like how Prompto keeps his cool after getting an elbow to the face

It looks hilarious, but it's also quite amazing how the physics actually do work during scripted animations. Ignis' arm didn't simply clip through Prompto's model, but it actually pushed it.

Animations in general in this game are up there with Naughty Dog's.

I don't see the problem here. You have Sindy and her tits, I have this dude with DAT ASS !

Unlike the majority of female models in gaming, Nyx is actually based on a real model via nude scanning. So yes, fantasy based on reality, unlike the pornstar proportions of Cindy.

Wait can you swim in FFXV? I don't think I've seen anyone try.

We haven't seen any in-game swimming so far. However, we saw a small brief scene of Noctis swimming during one of the technical demos. So we still don't know if we'll be able to swim, or if it will be only during certain scenes, or if it was removed completely.

I like the voice acting, I don't think I could play a whole game like this with Japanese voice acting.

Yea same here. I was in the same boat as everyone else when we first heard the English VA. But after a few years of listening to them talk I got really used to it. I'll probably play it with the JP VA on my second playthrough.

The body itself might have been 3D scanned, but the way the fabric clings is completely unnatural and immersion-breaking - if they're going for verisimilitude, it's just poorly implemented. Shorts don't look like body paint.

Meanwhile, while you might have problems with how Cindy is dressed (and with women who share her body type), her body and costume are much closer to reality in terms of physical representation - you'd find a cosplayer looking much the same as the ingame character in a replica of her outfit, while a Nyx cosplayer would need a prosthetic ass.
 
Quality before quantity Tabby. :)

Yeah, and didn't Tabata say this game was going to have a small summon roster? That list is pretty basic and has all the classic summons covered with the exception of Odin. Toss in Odin and Chocobo and you basically have FFIII's summon list. At least all the classics(including Ramuh and Titan, other Thunder and Earth elemental summons need not apply) are there.

It's still not mindblowingly good looking like many earlier FFs but that looks good enough for me. They improved IQ a lot. Not nearly as much "flickering" as before and that was my main problem with the graphics.

Tight clothing + lighting + baby got back

Stop trying to tear apart my favorite scene from Kingsglaive! XD
 
I didn't realise the summons all had semi-titles. 'Bahamut, the Draconian' sounds badass. Some of the others are a bit less dramatic.

Like the Nyx ass situation, Cindy's breasts don't really sit right, either. A Cindy cosplayer would be needing a bikini top that magically doubles as a heavy-duty push up bra, her breasts sit up a tad too high and far too close together. A great push-up bra will do that, but a bikini top like Cindy wears wouldn't. (A true fantasy based on reality.) I do appreciate Square at least trying in the male fan-service department, though, even though there is a bit of a creepy muscle vertical ass stretch whenever Nyx or Gladio bend over. Cindy's ass seems to have been saved from a weird stretchy fate.

...just like in life, a FFXV GAF thread always returns to some good ol' T&A. I have spent way too much time staring at both, I need FFXV to be released, already.

I kinda get what you're trying to say, i guess, but uhh...

1. Cindy's "proportions" aren't as egregious as you make them out to be. Her breasts aren't overtly large, just perky. She's also not just thin either, there's some abdominal toning that can be seen slightly.

2. Using "pornstar" as a euphemism for "large breasted and thin" speaks volumes about what you know about pornography. Considering the shear amount of kinks, fetishes, etc that go into porn, a "pornstar proportion" is only able to be attributed to any specific kink. Thin, curvy, large, big breasted, petit, black, white, asian, etc.

3. I didn't know that pornstars weren't real! It kinda feels like you're slut-shaming woman of Cindy's body type (which isn't a faux-body type unlike say, Ivy from soul caliber) by comparing it to that of a pornstar in such a negative tone. I honestly don't think that's what you were going for, though.

That said, I still don't like Cindy's outfit. Never will. But i'll deal with it and look past it.

Yup, this is how most female characters in gaming come off to women. Now you know :3

You need to look at more man butts. I see shit like this at the gym I visit every week. And visit more mechanics because holy shit mechanics don't dress like Cindy.

Not saying her costume is realistic within the setting, just that it's a better representation of someone wearing a 'sexy mechanic' Halloween costume than Nyx's physics-defying ass is of an actual person's. Do you have actual visual examples on hand of men's butts that can retain that shape through fabric?

I do appreciate Square at least trying in the male fan-service department, though, even though there is a bit of a creepy muscle vertical ass stretch whenever Nyx or Gladio bend over. Cindy's ass seems to have been saved from a weird stretchy fate.

Well, it isn't exactly comparable in the size department, and I'd imagine there'd be a lot more attention given to making sure it doesn't warp compared to Gladiolus and Nyx, since the sex appeal is central to her design while a more secondary element for the former two. Maybe they need to invest in a more comprehensive soft-body physics implementation next time.

There is a real(?) life precedent. Check out new tv Superman's Buns of Steel.

Well this thread was good while it lasted
This was set into motion by a guy who said he was genuinely disgusted and horrified by the Death magic/spell effect and that it shouldn't be in the game because it makes light of death in real life. I just wanted to point out how dumb that sounds and that we should ignore his opinion.

It's quite obvious he was talking about how the clothes fit/lie on the character, not the practicality/appropriateness of it. But people are over exaggerating Nyx's undergarments or they have never seen sportswear before. As I said, this is the same guy who said a similar thing about a dumb little spell effect (the first one to say that the scene is 'problematic').

Why is this a problem? One of the best parts of MGS is Snake's ass. Feel free to quote me on that. Ground Zeroes in the rain was something else.
 
Another FF thread devolved into Cindy controversy. Tsk tsk. Such a small portion of the game. Everyone has a right to be upset for whatever, but it's going to be so irrelevant in-game it's just trivial to me.

On the other hand, if she were a main character then I would have something to say
