I am baffled at the huge differences in script between the JP and EN version. I will be playing with the JP dub for sure but damn it feels crappy that the subtitle will match the EN dub =/
Can I learn the entire Japanese language in 3 months? q_q

Seriously though those must be two different variations of the same cutscene, you guys should stop panicking. For now.
I hope Prompto's DLC episode is where you play as him in Ch0 and you're presented with the options:
- oh my god noctis is on fire
- seagulls!
- seagulls!
△ - Keep your cool!
○ - That guy needs to chill out!
X - Let's kick some ice!
□ - Seagulls.
newspaper scene tho.

Ok, I am watching the vid, and frame dips when they rotate camera during the car moving scene is just video rendring, right? Right?
I didn't notice it being as bad in previous footage

You'll get the same English subtitles no matter which voice over language you pick.
The Japanese voices are much better. Even this girl actually sounds more mature.

Luckily (or possibly unfortunately) I know enough spoken japanese to notice such discrepancies.
I still remember playing that one jrpg on PSP, something dragoon, I believe. The script was changed beyond recognition, hardly any name was retained and everything down to plotpoint spoken were changed. Yet they kept japense voice acting. i couldn't get grasp on the story, since people were saying one thing, subtitles were saying another...
Is it not possible to switch the whole game to Japanese? I've been asking this question for a long time and I have no idea whether it's been confirmed as something that's possible or not.

they might do that. they released JP language packs for XIII-2 and LR I think. Most of the game being in realtime helps. Also both demo's were dual language so they sort of set the expectation already.
EDIT
Ok so it was LR only and I remember it was free for a limited time

Yeah, I remember playing Duscae in Japanese with JP text so it would be weird to me if it wasn't available in the final game, but you never know. I don't like playing a game with Japanese voices and a different language for subtitles.

I find that it's always interesting, but slightly disconcerting when you find a difference. It takes you out of the scene, but not in a way that particularly bothers me.
Maybe it's based on your decisions earlier? I could imagine such small details could be changed based on what you say or not say.
Btw guys be carefull on what you compare. Some scenes might be at a different time of day. Just look at the big bird part. One is at daytime and one is at night. And some other times it could be simply a bit more cloudy or not. Remember that.

So, I'm late to the party! What did I miss about Shuhei Yoshida ? I only see here critics about the new 30 minutes video.
Nothing with Shuhei, they just talked about games and stuff.
The 50 minute video they released some time ago

Oh come on guys! Its pretty obvious we will get dialogue options in that Iris cutscene, I mean, even Noctis animation is different!
Yea it's been confirmed by dmax that it's a dialogue option.
Who's dmax?
A neogaf user who got to play the demo.
Ah okay.

Guys, thought I'd share some interesting translations from the official FFXV forum by the user xXShuyaXx, who has been known to translate them in the past.

7 hour wait? Damn wtf. I wonder if they have Jimmy John's in Germany.
I am actually kind of glad in a way that they were immediate in their decision to delay the game.

That was obvious from the beginning and given for granted I thought. Probably just to show in the future how the four are tired from a long lasting war scenario.I guess there will be a time skip forward once we take back Lucis and moving war against the enemy factions?
Ah, good to get confirmation about this. I was telling people in here
he is definitely Ifrit and there's no way he's the last boss encounter.
The encouter with Ifrit is almost cozy in comparison.
Finally got round to writing up my impressions, check it out if you want! Was gonna bump the thread I made but it looks like it'd been dead for over 24 hours so... here I am.

Ugly deteriorating wall textures, random wall paintings in frames, mismatched architectural features, gross floor... Looks like the Lightning Returns environment designers still work at Square Enix...
Lol, that is actually the exact same thing I was thinking when I saw the hotel scene for the first time too. I really disliked the look of Luxerion in LR.
The pictures on the wall would't even look that bad if they would actually match the lighting in that room...

Haha good point. That really is a terribly designed and decorated interior...

That's Isamu Kamikokuryou for you.
I actually like the look of this room.

Hey, don't be judgmental! The man has a cane, I don't think he's able to decorate as well as he would like. Everyone's grandparents have mismatched living rooms!

No. People were calling Jihl "Sephiroth with boobs", and were extremely excited about her design and appearance in promotional materials but she got ruinga-ed after literally only having maybe 15 minutes of screen time in FF13.
My point has nothing to do with who Ardyn reminds you of. What I'm suggesting is that because Nomura did not design him, he will not end up as the game's main villain. Same thing happened with Jihl, she showed up in all the trailers and promotional work leading up to the game in FF13 but she wasn't designed by Nomura and wasn't used as the game's main villain.
I'm just getting a big case of deja vu.
