What will Hair Gel do though?
It's true.

Posting is more necessary than breathing for human health
Aah, just a little mistake. The rest of my post still stands, though! I'm really liking what I'm reading.

I think the writer is a woman.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?
Lol.
Edit: Not quick enough, lol.
It's true.
is that gamersyde uncompressed? because......wow.....it does need some work. In motion it probably looks fantastic. I'm guessing some AA is used post and doesn't show up in screens. I remember watch dogs having the same issue in their screenshots....but it looked fine when I played it.

which preview is this from? I have read a couple so far.
This one.
https://www.vg247.com/2016/08/16/fi...nderful-and-definitely-in-need-of-that-delay/
But they did mention the hold mechanic so I'm a little skeptical.
Go visit the new screenshot thread.
Cry.
Some of the articles seems more tempered and cautious in particular about the combat and their fears about it seem valid ones to me. Hopefully it does come together on that front since it feels like the main thing that will be getting worked out over the next few months is the graphics and such, which do need quite a bit of work.
Humanoid enemies are generally fantastic so far. The animals, not so much. This has always been the case.

Nope, they're video screenshots (from the 50 minute video) and compressed.

Sounds about right. The humanoid enemies in Episode Duscae were far and away the most engaging opponents, and that was with a totally different battle system.
Wonder if this'll end up like KH in the sense the the humanoid opponents/bosses end up being the best designed enemies from a combat standpoint.
I mainly want to see how the controls have improved.
After hearing good things about the preview, I'm okay with this too. I mean I'd rather wait one more year to polish an already good game than waiting two more months for a terrible one.
It absolutely is. It's a foregone conclusion by now lol.

That might change with the inclusion of Airship.
Game is close as the story progresses and gradually becomes more open, etc.

Gamersyde just adds those to screenshots they upload.. the images are from SE marketing who thought it's a good idea to just capture stuff from the video, lol.

The car is not meant to be driven like gta and the game isn't the traditional open world. It's like FF12
Game in motion has problems with the hair like that, I wish they'd just go back to the softer Ep. Duscae look resolution be damned.

They appear to be lazy af =/
Gamespot's 'The Lobby' show is on currently, you can find the section on Final Fantasy XV at the 8:33 mark.
Gamespot The Lobby: FFXV et al.
Gamespot The Lobby: FFXV et al.
Things like not being able to ram enemies feels like a permanent decision for a number of reasons. If you ram an enemy then there would be damage to the car and thus there might have to be a car repair gameplay aspect, which right now only seems to be main narrative tied. I'm also guessing that the driving mechanics aren't that elaborate and so if you gave the player full control, they might try to drive through a forest which could be a nightmare for the programmers. They might also have to build in collision damages if players hit another car and so and so forth.
I get that but it nonetheless comes off as a bit restrictive because you still are driving the car at certain points so it's taking the agency away from the player. It comes across as a half-measure in some ways.
I don't understand how SE has got so bad at marketing this game.....it blows my mind.
Also....remember what pausing did in the platinum demo? It fixed the hair by like 75%. What kind of AA solution are they using that makes it worse when in motion. I remember if a character or object was still long enough the dithering would reduce or go away.
The car CAN get damaged, though. And you need to get it repaired. During the last trailer you can get a glimpse of a very battered Regalia.

PR likely had access to the Master version but instead of taking their own direct feed screenshots, they just took one from video. This is not the first time they have done so.
Was that main narrative related? In the 50 minute video it seemed more tied to story events than something that can just randomly happen.
It's still weird that you can't even turn around without a scripted u-turn.
It is really unbelievable how horrible the marketing for this game is. People must be getting fired left and right in that sector: they are doing their job absolutely horribly with things like this.
That's a good point. No idea.
No, the problem is that they probably aren't lol.

The car is just half assed, thankfully they managed to get airships back.

Lol...

I know, I watched that lame uncovered event. That's why I'm saying the car is half assed, not the airship part. Thank god they put that back or the car would be just a roller coaster ride. I remember them saying something like they weren't sure if airships would be ready for the initial release.
they are all shills. Gaf says it sucks. Duh lol.

Even IRL no one would ever take the car off-road in a terrain like that and besides that's what chocobos are for - chocobos can go off road, jump and even help you in combat.
The car has a radio and drives you automatically or you can drive it manually what more could you possibly want the car to do?

If the car could do everything, it seems like there would be no need Chocobos.
There's gotta be a balance.

JpGames from Germany also played the Game
http://jpgames-forum.de/jpgames-de-...pielt-final-fantasy-xv/index2.html#post674637
All in all he was really satisfied with the Game and said it brought back the old Final Fantasy Feelings
some points he mentioned (more in the article)
Pro:
-Happy with the english Snychro - not that much with the German one
-Great Chemistry between the 4 Guys - Funny & Emotional
-Praising the combat (different feeling to Platinum due the menu options)
-Not as easy as people think - on Normal you won't be able to just play the game by holding attack
-MiniGames were really fun and well included
Cons:
Graphic -- downgrade
wider areas really bad (details, pop ups,) - howerver Linear areas look good with more details
- Driving - KI does the main job
