My comment has a lot to do with what u said. Idc what Tabata has said, FF is rooted in Japan. It will always be JRPG first, with a JRPG story. Those share traits to anime stories as well. What's so hard to wrap your mind around this, that is as basic as a point I was trying to make as possible. U saying they are trying to market to more people is ofc true but no shit, ofc they would say that they have been on this game for a minute now they will say anything right to get everyone to buy their game.
How hyperbolic of u. How can u say with absolute certainty the answer is no without even looking it up? And shes mostly in the to be a sexualized damsel.http://youtu.be/f6L3Ef1JCC8

But really I'm not in the offended camp. I mean do I think Cindy looks hot? Sure, not like I'm going to sit there with the VR and oggle her panties tho but who cares? Gladiolus is running around the whole game with his shirt buttons off. Shit happens
EDIT: Looking through I guess someone already pointed it out to u. We all take L's, I've had my fair share it's all good
Oh please. That literally has nothing to do with Cindy's design and how the game shows her off.

What are u even saying now? Literally? You're using that word wrong. U don't know 100% how or why Cindy was made, it's all speculation. I'm going to step away from this convo tho bc clearly you're so enthralled in this that u can't even see it from a different perspective
What?
I'm saying Cindy's design and part of the game is embarrassing, and they should not have portrayed her in that way. Is that hard to understand?
If she becomes different later in the game, i will change my words, but for now, what we have of her is all we have.

Copied someone else's pancake recipe
The design is fine but gets critiqued in every FFXV thread more than seemingly any other character. It's a bit of a shame that some posters can't let it go. It's probably a more popular design than not too and would annoy more fans if it were removed or changed.
I know she's not everyone's cup of tea (Aranea seems pretty popular though) but it's really irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. There's a world of gaming beyond a certain bubble of people critiquing revealing female outfits.
Back to the PAX West gameplay, the quality of lighting from Duscae at any rate looks to be back. I'm not sure why the master gameplay footage seemed to lack it but this for example has exactly the same quality as Duscae at night.
Now, from earlier footage of the Aranea drop-in we have Benzy's comparison.
Due to stream compression it's hard to see shit but the search lights not being there might mean they are avoidable or might even be a design change, not necessarily a downgrade. I guess Aranea's model might be slightly downgraded but we honestly can't see shit if we're being truthful here, could just be a few frames later when she drops to a light source. I could be wrong though.
At any rate I'm pretty sure the game will end up looking better than the Master Version gameplay we saw, and this PAX West footage looked pretty damn good. Might be because of the time of day, but holy hell does this game do night well.

I am just waiting for a high quality direct-feed footage of the Niflheim base from master version before I start jumping on the downgrade or upgrade bandwagon.
To my eyes, the blurry streamed gameplay video does look pretty good!

There's definitely going to be a downgrade of some form considering the initial Niflheim base footage was on PC. The base sections on console seem to still look good regardless.

By the way, will there be a new thread for the FFXV concert taking place this afternoon ? I hope there'll be one.
It's going to look like the 2014 footage, BELIEVE!!
And that's why i'll have to buy one...

any rumors out there if SE is willing to do a NEO version?
Every game that releases after late September has to have a Neo patch for download and everything after October has to have it on-disc. Mandatory is fixed 1080p and better or equal FPS than the normal version.
The OST for Kingsglaive is out btw
I finally got to hear APOCALYPSIS NOCTIS(the track that's been used in the Uncovered & Universe trailers) in all of its amazing glory(that piccolo ahhhhh).
Luna's theme in particular had me enamored as well. I wonder if a more melodically driven variant of it will be used in the game.
Oh and there's also that FF main theme..
It's funny how Yoko Shimomura had a hand in composing literally all of the pieces that I liked from the film's score. The rest is forgettable.

thanks, didn't know that! Now I am hoping to see NEO footage of FFXV as well lol

I hope we hear something specific about what their Pro "mode" will entail. Or at the very least, better footage of it.

Yeah, I hope we get that soon.
Anyway I knew that Tabata "not planning anything for Neo" was BS. Of course they were.
Looks like an official screenshot.

It would have had support anyway. Any PS4 games needs to be compatible for Pro.

Hmm, interested to see if there is much of an improvement. If there is, this could make me get a PS4 pro if there is a good trade in deal
Wow.

Yes, they don't have a choice. It has to.
Well no, they do have a choice. It could not just make any use of the new Pro hardware and be the base PS4 version. But they'll likely have a Pro patch if not already supported on launch.

I was very excited when I saw these two screens come up, but honestly I still don't know if this would be enough to sell me on a PS4 Pro.... It doesn't make the game better... prettier yes, but it's really the narrative that I care about before this game will inevitably end up on PC a few years down the road
If anything it should just smooth out any sections that may have frame rate drops.
Its very possible the PS4 Pro was a factor in their delay date also. Odds are the PS version of FF will sell quite a bit better than xbox due to the Japanese market.
I know I will be getting a PS4 Pro for FFXV right away as well
The way I understood it sony leaves up to the dev to support Pro..Or is this concerning old games?
Vincent Grayson

Given that we know they're making a Pro mode (as it was shown briefly), they are required to have it on disc (unless the requirements changed since those leaked documents).

Aside from Horizon, this was the best part of the otherwise dull conference.
I mean as in the confirmation of FFXV for PS4 Pro.
Or "World of FF is the true PlayStation Pro FF game Wrold of FF is the better Pro game."
Draw distance and foliage density, I guess. Not much else to go on.
Link to said requirements? This game was supposed to be out before the Pro which means XV would have been delayed just because of Pro regardless if they needed to improve anything?
Well we see that it is running on the Pro. And you can see the footage better in motion because taking still screens of a vid in constant motion does not work well.

Y'all enjoy debating about which version looks better.
Am listening to Noctis' theme on repeat and crying instead
This game will be amazing *tears*
Okay I care about graphics too...was gonna sell my PS4 for a neo but holding off as IQ looked better in latest build shown at PAX

I always took it that the patch must be there for the game to be playable on the PS4 Pro. There's no mandatory requirements as to what the patch must do to make the game look better. It really sounds like it depends on how much effort developers choose to put in at the end.
