There's more.
There could be a lot of revisiting too tho
Cool.
Yeah i think even going further with the story and moving to the other big land mass, each region will still have decently large areas to explore and side content to do, but i think they will start to shrink down as you get closer to the end (simply because it sounds illogical to let Noctis have the same freedom he has in Duscae even in enemy territories like Tenebrae and Niflheim), just to go back to the early areas before the end game when you obtain the airship.
Because then the game would not happen.
Nyx also didn't use it. Maybe you can only use Death with the ring, but having the ring is not enough to use Death, and Noctis will acquire it in some other way.
Or only people of royal blood can use Death, and Regis was just too old.

We'll see, I guess.

I remember Regis mentioning that he could not control the Ring or as he called it "The Old Wall" that well anymore due to his age so it's probably that. Nyx not using it can just be explained because bloodline.

Holy shit, the combat in this game looks so janky. My goodness the camera system. Also, if there is no way to tell your party members to clear out the area before you use an AoE magic spell, then that is just dumb game design especially considering there is friendly fire.

I'm fine with the graphics and performance, there definitely has been improvements. I'm fine with the gameplay, the TGS build I played felt so much better than platinum demo.
Just really worried about the story.

Looks like TwitchCon had a better FFXV presentation than TGS, was not expecting that, I thought it would just be a repeat.

You sound like me. Never really started to worry about the story until recently when certain trailers showed stuff that got me worried about the story. But!!! As long as the story is manageable and tangible then it'll be fine.
So, when do you guys think they'll show off Leviathan? Tabata talked about it at E3 but that got pushed back. Really want to see more of that + Altissia.
Yep, but the XBOX One version looks much better now:
It's a good looking game on both platforms.

LODs and grass looks so better now on Xbone. Much less shadow and grass pop-in too.

Still very pleased they added back in those specular shaders for grass.

We haven't see the Altíssima from the current build yet. BELIEVE
Hahaha yeah... I said the EXACT same thing. I think we'll see it improved just as we saw Duscae improve though. At least... I'm hopeful that it will look just as good as the Thicket area.
it would actually break my immersion more if the river water did freeze so easily
man, the xbox one version is indeed ace at this point (resolution be damned), but since I have to get a ps4pro, i'm very eager to get a look at that version :3
What do you want to see from the story to make you less worried?

I'm at the tipping point now
Close enough to release that I cant decide whether or not to watch new stuff

Maybe not blatant scenes of Ardyn being a clown. Best voice. Most hated character. Calling it.

Still not convinced so looking forward to watching this. I still am not excited, but am interested in this game if that makes sense.
Also... with all the moon motifs and what not like the themed PS4 and giantness of it on the coverart.... anyone think the story will go there? Maybe Final Fantasy 4 style lol. Seems like a long shot but -shrug- it is a game.

The water seems to have improved light reflections( I have no idea what the technical terms for that would be).
But that's his thing, what he likes to do. He's a wisecracking villain who is really easy to get to on the inside and becomes violent if you push his buttons in the wrong way like Luna did, similar to the Joker but less crazy.
Your clown example was pretty spot on considering his voice actor is the main voice for the Joker in Japan in all related media.
Guaranteed 1080p due to Pro mandates.
I keep hoping this might happen, but I'd be pretty surprised if it actually does. The moon definitely seems important though, they even named a character after it.
I'd be very surprised if you could instakill named enemies/bosses. Barring some hilarious unintended shenanigans like Vanish X-Zone

Dumb nitpick, but I'm still floored by how bad the jump animation is.

The moon(or moons) tend to be significant in some way in various FFs. I think this just might be one of them among the lot, but maybe not as much as FFIV(which it seemed to have the most importance).
Then again, I still recall Sakaguchi telling Kitase that he thought it would be cool if the moon explorable in Final Fantasy Mobius.
Storywise, if you travel to the moon, I'd think it would be too much like FFIV. There tends to be specific ground explored in various installments that's unique to those games and aren't really done again.

I almost bailed on this game but it looks like I'm jumping back in. This will be my first Final Fantasy on a PlayStation system. The best buy gamers club discount and $20 in gift cards will make it easier to take a chance.

I feel like it should be more floaty.
