Support NeoGAF

[Chase17]

Must search through previews to see if any talk about the soundtrack.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

I'd like to hear from someone who found the previous demo's controls awkward if that's really been sharpened up by now. I was told I was playing it wrong so it still might just be a personal thing though

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

This game's going to be as polarizing as Metal Gear Solid V, isn't it?

? Isn't that sitting at a 92 meta is that polarizing?(idk I haven't kept up with or played it)

 

[artsi]

I liked everything in the 50 minute video, also nice to hear the press did too.

 

[MultiJhonny]

This game's going to be as polarizing as Metal Gear Solid V, isn't it?

Yep. This is gonna be quite polarizing. Already is and it isn't even out

There are multiple control schemes. 3 of them.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Previews got me running scared.

 

[Blackthorn]

I played six hours of it. And I liked what I saw. It was hard not to say anything when people started to freak out due to the delay. Game ran well with regular occurence if bugs you can expect in the final home stretch. (Build i played wasn't the current gamescom one) Nda fully lifts tomorrow btw.

Have outlets been permitted to capture their own footage?

 

[MultiJhonny]

Previews got me running scared.

wat? Why? They are all positive


or you mean you trying to dodge spoils?

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Have outlets been permitted to capture their own footage?

They explain in the comments that this is from the B-roll footage that also features Xbox One and PS4 version. They had to cut the video so it only features PS4 version from the b-roll given by SE.

 

[Ishida]

Edgy as fuck be warned.

Amazing. So this guy who is a self-proclaimed Final Fantasy hater (In his own words) loved what he saw and played? Man, this game will deliver, won't it?

 

[WhateverItTakes]

There are multiple control schemes. 3 of them.

Does that include the pause mode because I ain't using that at all. Times have changed man!

I'm talking more about the flow of attacking and dodging which was tricky to get to grips with. I remember warping being an arse as well but I also know they improved that with a patch for Duscae, so it looks like they've been good with feedback at least.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

NeoGAF is going to turn into a war zone when the game comes out.

 

[Osahi]

Didn't happen on my event so i expect b-roll footage only.

 

[Seven Force]

There are multiple control schemes. 3 of them.

One of them is confirmed to more or less be the Episode Duscae control scheme, right? Played that one enough that playing the Platinum Demo still feels weird to me.

Ah, ok. Thanks!

 

[cackhyena]

I just want the combat to be fun. Please let it be fun.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

I wasn't expecting so many people to like it.. I don't know if I want to believe but I want to believe.

 

[Ran rp]

I was wondering why they didn't just drive past the giant in the demo.

I see a gigantic Iron Giant enemy in the middle of the road and try to ram him. Instead the AI pulls me over and kicks me out to engage in regular combat. When enemies are aggroed you can’t enter the car even to try to make a hasty escape, so I have to run away and pay 100 gil to have the car warped back to me. Open but not.

That sounds really annoying.

 

[wmlk]

One of them is Episode Duscae, but I'd imagine there are a few tweaks to it since we can command other characters too now.

 

[hipsterpants]

sounds... good? That "4chan leak confirmed" thread had me shook and resulted in me accidentally spoiling some story bits (assuming it's all true). Oh well. I'm riding this train even if it flies off the rails as it reaches its destination.

Going to check out that 50-minute gameplay thing later.

Wait mode is not a controller scheme.

 

[MultiJhonny]

It gives me hope. A lot of hope. I am so excited. Between this and NieR, I'll be set.

Also I know IGN will be streaming both early tomorrow morning

 

[Ishida]

I was wondering why they didn't just drive past the giant in the demo..

Seems like that would wreck the car first instead of damaging the Iron Giant.

 

[Edge_Maverick]

Here's another one:

God is a Geek: Final Fantasy XV feels like a good compromise for an impossible task

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Impressions seem overall positive. That's good to hear

 

[Kuni]

This is all super encouraging. I just hoped and believed in the new Squennix who gave us FFXIV 2.0 and that it would deliver.

This, combined with the anime and the good word of mouth for Kingsglaive, is a very good sign.

Maybe, just maybe, this will actually be good. Possibly even great...

 

[Jake2by4]

Again couldn't be no worse then corridor13. Glad about the positive previews, been waiting for this since middle school.

 

[Zedark]

Ars Technica preview:

Final Fantasy 15 hands-on: Brave new direction or just pandering to fans?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Noticed one trend with these previews and I now see why Tabata was insistent on not outright calling it an open world.

 

[Ran rp]

buying new CDs for your car

I love this detail. I thought it was just going to be radio stations.

Seems like that would wreck the car first instead of damaging the Iron Giant.

There was plenty of room on the road to drive past though.

I've said it before it's FF12 type of overworld.

 

[The Last One]

I think the guy playing the game stopped the car to show us that we can encounter much stronger enemies. That's why he fight it and just lost after taking 2 hits.

 

[omnislayer]

I am pleasantly surprised by how positive these impressions are.

 

[Shin-chan]

Edgy as fuck be warned.

Yeah, that first sentence. Excellent British journalism...

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Are they previewing the version with or without the day one patch?

 

[Skilletor]

Are they previewing the version with or without the day one patch?

The day 1 patch isn't done. This is what would have launched in September.

 

[Shin-chan]

Are they previewing the version with or without the day one patch?

Without.

We're at like Day -60 or something lol. It's not ready yet.

 

[sappyday]

Are they previewing the version with or without the day one patch?

Without. The day 1 patch will be the final version of the game.

 

[artsi]

Are they previewing the version with or without the day one patch?

Day one patch isn't ready until a couple of months, so without.

 

[Zedark]

You can change their outfits and buy them hair gel.

Holy sh*t, am completely sold if true!

Spoiler

Definitely a nice touch, though

I thought it was intentional as well but after reading that article it seems it may not have been.

Edit: Watching it again they even had to ditch the car like the article mentioned.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Square needs to pull Voodoo magic like they did with 14 to fix performance issues.

This is what would have shipped on disc in September. We won't see what the "final" (former day-1-patch) version looks like until release, presumably.

 

[Ishida]

I obviously can't read.

Yeah, afraid so. Would've been nice :/
