It's starting to become a bit suspect that the only thing we've seen of an "open world" is the Duscae area.
Pretty sure none of the GI footage took place in Duscae.

It wasn't just Duscae in that video.
I guess some of the footage shown is from xbone? The environments, scale and lighting are generally very impressive. But the game still looks rough. Rougher in some of this footage than Duscae did on PS4. I hope they optimise and do justice to the base that it is there.
Hence the "Pre-Alpha footage" in the top left corner of a lot of the clips. This is a months old version of the game that we're seeing in the video.I'm guessing IGN got access to the same portion of the game like GameInformer did. It means only Chapter 1. It's also worth noting that the game is now in beta phase, and the footage they made them probably play was from pre-alpha stage, which is still very rough in term of IQ and perf.
They probably just took off their jacket for that scene.
So much better, I don't get the decision to go for a soccer mom haircut.

I will break my self embargo and actually watch this! Really interested in it
Saw Noctis wears a different outfit, which is black under armour. Yay more black...
Look at 5:03 in the background, lot of jaggies haha
no kidding
but i will give them the benefit of the doubt that its a very old build
There we go more gifs plz!
I dont get why the footage looks so washed out. Duscae had blurry IQ, but it didn't look as washed out as this. Platinum seemed to have slight IQ and AA improvements.

Duscae looked more washed out in midday lighting compared to here and their recent footage imo.
They removed the fog effect apparent in Duscae for the alpha and beta builds, so that's why the backgrounds look so flat. The fog masked the LoD for the backgrounds.
I think they'll add it back in some since it looks bad without it.
Yeah, I prefer the lighting the newer footage, and Duscae did look blurry. Its not a good metric in my opinion though. They need to beat what they did with Duscae, the IQ is probably the worst in any PS4 game I have. Even if the graphics are still good. I just can't kick the feeling that the game looks like an engine dialed down to low settings. I want to see them deliver the kind of visuals they are displaying in the trailers, because what they have shown doesn't seem out of the realm of these consoles, and mostly doesn't look like what the game could look like running on a top spec GPU (that would be the Paris or Nilfheim footage).
I notice it particularly in some of the cutscenes; the one with the purple haired guy for instance. I don't believe that is how it will look in the final game. It looks super rough. I am looking forward to see some meaty polished in game footage at E3. I really hope they deliver. No excuses if they are realising September.
Build footage definitely pretty rough, one NPC got stuck in place on top of a chair or something, and the regalia floats.

Uhh..? Draw distance is excellent. You can see as far as the eye can see. No fog blocking the distant hills & valleys.Jaggies abound and the draw distance is awful. Here's hoping the PS4.5/PC releases are decent.

I actually find this way improved over Duscae and the backgrounds aren't flat at all to me.
IQ is pretty is atrocious though and is what needs the most work
Well it is an airship. Probably just early hints they were dropping for us!

Maybe he cast Float on the car

I don't see anything too problematic about foliage in this gif:All that missing foliage isn't.
HD Town
No NPCs in this shot, though.

They had to make some sacrifices.
I'll refuse to look for any graphical defects in this early footage, and I think it looks good anyway.
Watching the video I feel the team must be super pumped getting the game finally out soon.
