They are saying that events and such aren't implemented in this show case so the buildings don't have to be just scenery.
Good!

Sorry man, had to be said. I noticed it instantly and was like "WTF... I hope the game doesn't load like that while on foot". Thank God it doesn't, but I really hope they iron out that pop-in.
Yeah, I recall that. Wonder how many areas like this we'll get?
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.
do you guys finally BELIEVE!?
Its giving me FFVII vibes.
FFVII had very humbly designed and grounded areas in the game.

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

Looks like Lightning Returns' ending set the tone for XV then.
Sorry.

Better be a McD's drive-thru somewhere there.the gas station
Anyone want to put together a quick list of links to all the videos and short descriptions of when shit starts and what's in each one so I can update the OP since the guy seems to be away?
I think the video looks boring as fuck. No, really.
Pretty nice vistas, but nothing to do at all. Except battle battle battle, if you want/can. Hopefully some sort of fast travel will be available, I hate stupidly giant open world games.

I'm pretty sure there's a bit of Accordo on the Tech video.
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.
My only issue is that there seems to be some hardcore popping during while driving the car. You can clearly see objects appearing out of nowhere and the environment literally drawing itself as you go. I hope they can fix this in the final game.
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.
Are they remaking(or making)accordo ? was E3 2013 demo was indeed just CG ?
It looks like there are no textures or water applied yet ? I could be wrong.Or maybe they're still adding new areas to it.
The scale is huge.
Exploration Part 1. -> Raw footage. Exploration only. Night and day battles. Gameplay starts at 6:50.
Exploration Part 2. -> Raw footage. Fishing mini-game and airships. Starts at the start .
Tech demo showcase. -> Has character models, exploration and battle gameplay. Shows how the Luminous engine works. Starts at 1:35.
Edit: Done editing Duck. Feel free to use it.
Night time exploration looks fun.
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...

It just looks fucking stupid how Noctis is running around in all black in such a sunny field. Noctis by far has the shittiest FF character design.

Yes. The fourth one is just the presenter talking to the audience.
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.Night time exploration looks fun.
