Your avatar pretty much conveys how I felt about this to be honest, Shizuka.

Because Tabata was drunk.
Yeah not sure about that little bail out effect. Boss in the demo went from killing me with almost full health to instadead. Feels cheap.
As far as this footage. Not looking like anything significant, but graphics are still impressive.
It's frequently like that in Duscae, I don't know why people are surprised.

Yea but it was consistently terrible in this trailer. In duscae it is smooth at least some of the time
Tabata really needs to get a few lessons from Nomura on how to market his own games. . A trailer where you spend (over?) a minute watching a father hold his son and another trailer with a minute of walking are not good ways to showcase a game. The Malboro fight is the kind of thing you send to IGN or somewhere and they put it up for some free marketing.
They should have skipped Gamescom as well.
At this point people just want a release date and footage from something that can be considered feature complete (so at least alpha).
They can't afford to continue to say "we don't know yet, we can't promise, please look forward to the future for further details".

No gambit system.
They were probably dying as well.

Because everything in this game is unfinished, even the A.I.

The XV in the title represents the target frame rate.

TGS it is then.
They should just give us a release date and show nothing until they're ready to release a launch trailer.

Is this a poorly ripped clip, or was the framerate that bad when they streamed it? If the latter, christ.

Yeah. I do appreciate the development transparency, but at the same time, it only magnifies how little they seemingly have done so far.
That bad.
They're pretty much doing transparent development wrong. Instead of showing what they've done and how it's progressing they're only talking about what they've cut and what they're experimenting with.

Chin up Scalebound, at least you're not alone.

Well damn that wasn't shit either, but at least we got a lil bit of gameplay. That Marlboro fight was over as soon as it began.

Sums up my thoughts exactly.... seemed so "tossed together at the last minute" feeling.

Well, that's often how it goes when you encounter Marlboros in FF if you're not prepared. (I guess Tabata wasn't pepared.)

It should have gone like Gladio getting confused and beating the crap out of everyone else, then off himself.
That's the way most Marlboro fights go for me.

Probably because the attack animations for the Marlboro are still in development!
At least they are doing something, which is more than I can say about the Duscae demo.

About as many replies as this footage deserves.
Get your act together, Square.

Why is this mainline FF game being marketed like some low budget indy title?!
Inline with how the first Marlboro encounter should go.
Squeenix is back to its dysfunctional self, we'll have to wait and see where this goes.
Can't believe they wasted manpower and development resources scrapping together this demo where time could have been better spent actually developing the game.
Entire units have to be pulled off of main dev to work on vertical slices for things like E3.
I'll give credit where credit is due though: what they showed is believable as far as the final product we see. Not too much bullshit as far as using 4x Titan Z's to render their trailer/gameplay footage.
