Reminds me that at the beginning of the TGS video you can see Noctis clothes clipping through the car =P
I don't mind the pop in personally (or the clipping), as long as it doesn't do something dramatical (like loading when the building is right by your side).

5 cities, so likely at least more than 4 regions connecting to each area, right?

Well, I'm sold.
This is so unlike the last mainline FF that I'm almost not convinced Square-Enix is making it.

Yeah. Of course there are elements of fantasy within the design. The creatures and certain aspects of the landscape do give you the impression that this is a Final Fantasy game. However, I suppose that only exemplifies in my mind that some things just seem a little out of place.
Like when he is running in the forest and comes across this building.
My first thought was, "Oh! That's a very ordinary looking building". It just didn't seem quite right to me. I kind of expect to see a quaint little cottage with a thatched roof and smoke coming out of the chimney. Or a design that is a bit more other-worldly.
I still think the game looks amazing though. And I expect the art-direction will be of the highest quality regardless.
this is the area just outside Noctis kingdom which is the one and only modern kingdom in the world.
there are 4-5 other kingdoms.
one of which has this art direction.....
I have always believed!
Looks like Lightning Returns' ending set the tone for XV then.
Sorry.
Yeah, I think its fine. They have plenty of time to solve that issue, especially considering most assets were just used for this demo.
and appears at 2:27 in the tech-trailer.
Should be yeah. Maybe 5 regions if the final destination in the game is separate.
That does look pretty amazing. Maybe it is just that area then.

I'm pretty sure there's a bit of Accordo on the Tech video.

Sorry.
It did.
I don't think there is any doubt about that.I totally believe in this theory that LR segues into FFXV's world.

And that was also taken during E3, so the lighting and shit has been severely improved, so it should now looks even more gorgeous.

Yeah, should be quite a few. We also saw names of areas within Lucis like Nihilsomno and VallisAcerba that Noctis was driving towards in old trailers. Man, how much are they adding?!

Better be a McD's drive-thru somewhere there.
Also, I'd better be able to drive like 150 km/hr + or something, because that world is soooo huge.

Am I crazy for thinking that the gameplay video is the best in game graphics I've seen for any current gen title? Because dear lord it looks good.

They said at the beginning they took off events and other stuff from the map to just show exploration.
And they confirmed mini games as well (like fishing).

The video mentions at the start that they haven't implemented events in the field yet. They said that they'll be adding exciting things in the final version.

The creatures/events/minigames/side content were intentionally disabled during this technical demo.

Imagine all the fishing we can do there!

This game is shaping up to be everything I could ever hope for. All I need now is to see some expansive dungeons.
Couldn't help but notice that at first either. It does seem like (?) they improved grass popping from the TGS trailer so there's definitely hope they'll get to it.
Yeah, also those rhino looking things pop out of nowhere.

They're showing Luminous in this video, you see a lot of the technical stuff, they probably disabled textures there to show the lighting cycle.

There are only 3 videos in total? I'll update if that's all there is. I haven't been following after the first two...

They definitely took a long, hard look at what Dragon's Dogma did.
Correct...lol I am not paying attention.
Yes. The fourth one is just the presenter talking to the audience. Its this one if you want to take a look if there is anything important in it.
In a few hours there's gonna be a Square Enix direct thingoo too, so I'm not sure you wanna invest all that time into the OP right now.
Nomura would make them all shirtless but he's not there anymore! he let an open shirt guy at least!

Honestly I couldn't help but notice this as well. He sticks out pretty badly in comparison to the art design of the rest of the world. He looks out of place standing next to everything.
I don't think the design is bad actually just it doesn't seem to fit in with the design of everything else.
Thanks. Updated.
It does, I just hope there's a way to aim the flashlight a little higher when Noctis is running since it seems to focus on the ground. I guess not being able to see too far in front of you does add an element of danger to nighttime exploration though.
