It was nice of them to change his jacket to a shade of black that doesn't absorb 100% of all light directed at it.

Honestly the jacket is the only striking difference between the two. Looks like the graphics have been refined a bit; his hair isn't quite so flat and his face, mouth aside, looks a little more defined than before.

Still, everything about the game has looked gorgeous so far and I really hope they don't fall into the pitfall XIII had where they sacrificed nearly everything for that (and that really really doesn't seem to be the case with XV).

The jacket looks the same except for brightness. Now whether that's because they lightened it or because of different shadow effects, hard to say.

Possible, but it's still fun to talk about tech which is why this tech presentation that starts in less than three hours will be interesting to watch!!

This was the only new sorta interesting gameplay footage but there was a lot of interesting tech talk as well, particularly the lighting and reflections near the end

And also there's apparently a playstation conference in China where they showed some new footage

I'm looking forward to failing horribly at aerial battles dozen of times until I can completely master it, then spend the rest of the game refusing to touch the ground. :black101:

On the other hand, it would be interesting to flip things around for once and have a video game movie be better than the game it's based on.

A controversial opinion. It's looking like a real possibility though. Though, if I were a betting man, given the degree of jank in the last few demos, I'd throw my money down on the 'game mediocre/film good' space.

I'm getting a vibe that its going to be great in my gut from what I've seen but my head is telling me there isn't going to be too much content, the story is gonna be lame and it will be :mediocre: but I really hope I'm wrong? As I've said before the limited availability and my childhood of FF fandom overwrote logic and I ordered the ultimate CE. If I was to follow my head I would cancel it and see how it goes. Seeing things like the environmental awareness and possible Ultros get me too keen for this.

PS: Nice username and av bear is driving not thought about that show in years.

Yeah I know just saying he was there all along, we just didn't see him. I took it as a rhetorical question.

Anyway there was a stream just a short while ago from China where the Titan demo was played again and the woman playing did a pretty good job fighting him

which causes the value to work out as a negative number, and the program isn't programmed to output negative numbers so it causes an underflow error that makes it wrap around to a 255% chance of being good.

What is MP used for in this game? Have they said anything about it? I skipped around the video a bit so I might have missed something, but it looks like spells are handled like they were in the Platinum demo: as consumable items, not something that consumes MP.

At least according to Duscae, MP is used for warping/dodging, and for using special abilities tied to your weapons (if that's still a thing).

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
As far as we know, Shurikens requires MP to even use, so basically it's to encourage mixing magic and skills because having both tied to MP will basically make every fight a warp-to-ceiling battle which would be boring.

yeah me too. as i said like 20 times earlier. its the first one i have ever been interested in. Duscae was fun. Idk why but the world feels more "real" like the monsters look like things that could live in the world and are part of it. thats always been a problem i had with alot of Jrpgs. i am petty i guess.

MP is only used up by dodging attacks with the Guard button, using the Royal Arms weapon type, and Warping. MP could be considered a defensive resource, but it also has aggressive applications. Consider the Titan demo battle. You COULD just sit on the ground and wait for the QTE, but you can also just ignore that and warp up to his arm and engage him in aerial combat, avoiding his ground-smashing attacks and defeating him quicker. But you have to be careful when doing this because if you go too wild, you'll run out of MP and maybe fall to your death.
