The graphics looks nice, but the human animation is kind of weird in spots and the sound mixing is pretty awful. Hopefully the sound thing is just a result of IGN's player.

gently caress, I wish you could submit a form to Square that says you're cool with a day one patch so send me the master version on 9/30. I mean, who the hell can afford a PS4 these days, but not access to the internet?

I just wanna say, a PS4 can be as low as like $250 if you get it secondhand. the standard internet around here (Comcast lol) is $60+ every single month.

I am extremely relieved that they delayed it, now I feel more confident they'll actually solve the frame rate issue in time.

lot of people have data caps too. if its like a 10gb patch or whatever there could be some lost sales/returns. they're praying for a mega hit which means a lot of people who don't game would theoretically be buying this game.

really though its probably because they realized sales of world of final fantasy would go up if they delayed

I MAY LOOK LIKE SHIT BUT IM ALSO DUMB AS FUCK



Lead-up to this game reminds me of the wait for FFVII. Mega hype back then, advertising, delays, people picking apart screenshots, dev interviews, combing over demos



Games have changed a lot in 20 years, but I'm feeling the magic and I hope XV is good. :)

I never saw the leak myself, but it had a lot to do with the state of development behind the scenes and basically described it as a horrible, disorganized mess similar to FFXIII in its final stages - tons of hastily stitched-together content, exhausted staff, technical problems everywhere, et cetera. And yes, it did confirm at least one of the game's previous delays well in advance.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
FF13 was a long bastard of a corridor (that I quickly came to skip fights in) but I loved it my first time through, it had quality presentation, combat and really great graphics for its time, so that gameplay video and what it makes the game's first three chapters look like didn't look hot or even warm, but I'll find out on my own. 104 days hahahahaaaa..

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.


This game seems amazing. The only problem I noticed was in the tomb the party popping offscreen during the ambush. Also the car drives fake as poo poo.

EDIT: Never read YouTube comments



EDIT2: For those curious here were the 4chan leaks


>Poster on 4chan correctly leaked the title of MS conference's FFXV demo (Trial of the Titan).

"Gentianas role in the story."
Gentiana is Shiva in human disguise. dogs are Shiva servants.

"who dies? who is final boss?"
Luna and the dad die, final boss is Ardyn, the red head guy
Luna dies
>King dies
Where the f*** is the happy ending then?
Noctis will get to see loli ghost Luna so it's okay. Also his bros are fine.

"can u romance aranea pls answer this"
You can't romance anybody

"What are all the summons, and how do they look?"
Titan, ramuh, carbuncle, leviathan, shiva, ifrit, bahamut.

" What recent changes have they made?"
Nothing they've changed recently would be interesting. They've got a lot of Luna/Noctis flashbacks they made to be thrown around in the last act of the game and they don't know what to do with them really

"Will Noctis become a King?
I guess you could say he becomes King, but doesn't have much to rule over by the end


"Give a basic plot outline. The script may not be finalised but you must have some idea."
There's a full script as of nov, its just changing because it's a mess.
>opens 10 years in the future fighting ifrit
>real game starts, being sent off for wedding
>on the way hear city got invaded
>set out to collect weapons of dead kings to be powerful and take back crystal
>also have to catch up to luna who's waking up summons
>when you get to luna red haired guy kills her
>everybody is sad for a while
>red hair guy reveals he's 2000 years old
>Noctis has to sleep for 10 years to gather magic into kings ring to fight him
>Noctis gets out and the group fights him in main city
>Ifrit first, then normal red head, then monster version of him
>Noctis wins

And now they've got an extra sixty days (so 100+) to fix it up. I wouldn't worry.

Then again, I'm not the dude to ask, because I find a bit of slowdown every now and then kinda fun, it's like slow-mo :v:

Also when you can cut up wildlife with a chainsaw then I'm willing to forgive

The game looks ugly as sin, but at least Noctis looks much improved after the time skip.

I don't think it looks THAT bad, but you can tell they've made some compromises to have the wide open world. Characters still look pretty great outside of a some goofy designs but those are par for the course for the series.

It took a pretty nasty hit even compared to the Duscae demo with its lack of aliasing. Mostly textures and pop-in issues.

From what the gameinformer report was, FF15 has a very set path if you just want to beeline the story. You really have to get out of your way to get into the open fields once you get the car going.
