Even in the deepest darkest dungeons, there are moments of shared levity and character development. The best example from my time: In an icy cold dungeon in chapter three, the characters frequently comment on how cold they are. At one point, Prompto points out that the tips of Noctis spiky hair have frosted over. He responds: "Really? How does it look?"
Pre-Review? Wtf is that? It's just a preview. Polygon and his clickbaits.
Lol. Self-awareness from the writers. I think I'll like these guys.
Actually reading the article, it doesn't sound all that good or different from the fist two hours or so that we've seen, like we figured out how the game is structured. He even calls out the "open world bloat". eh.
If anything, I would trust Phil Kollar, at least to say how he really feels about something.
Just as a comparison, he rated Star Ocean 5 a 5/10.
If this was negative Polygon would have been torn to shreds for a so-called "Pre-Review" lol... Will wait for legitimate reviews of the full game before getting excited.

It's true that previews can be misleading, but his preview is 15 hours into the game, which is enough to give anyone a true sense of a game (besides story developments past that point).
Anyway, he seems to really like it, as he's been tweeting about how much he likes it.
Shit, incredibly disappointing to read. Was really looking forward to some scathing reviews of this.
Pretty much.If the preview was negative it would be gospel,the definitive proof of a trainwreck and it there was no preview the game would not have enough marketing to be relevant.
Sometimes you can't win
Most games I've ever played in my entire life, 15 hours was enough to know if I liked it or didn't. The only time that changed, is when I played a game a lot, and then put it down, and came back after with a different perspective months later. Other than that, the first 15 hours have been enough to tell me, barring some weird drop in quality, which I've never personally experienced.Disagree this depends on the game.

This doesn't make sense.Not sure how much weight I give to the words of a guy who gave The Last of Us a 7/10.
Eh, you might be right. Probably would appear both. Either way... "pre-reviews" are dumb, it's a preview feature... and how are those? exactly, dumb.No, I think a lot of people would come and driveby post with "lol, told you it was shit". I'm getting flashbacks of when the Titan demo was shown. That thread was a complete shitshow.

I can't really argue with what you've said, but again, I'm speaking from my own point of view. I've never experienced my opinion changing too much on a game after 15 hours. It's enough to feel how everything comes together, if the core systems are good or bad, how the story initially develops, etc.And how exactly does that prove that 15 hours are enough to give a good assessment of a game? It's more a statement on the types of games you've played than the actual reality.
Like I already mentioned above one of the best examples of a game that just totally broke after even maybe the first 30 hours(I don't really remember how long it took to get 60) is Diablo 3 at launch state and it took the time for an extra expansion to truly fix those problems.
And really the point here isn't to shit on FF it's really just again if one actually really cares about being informed it's always wise to consider many perspectives.
And especially for the press it wouldn't hurt if possible for them to get away from this I played X hours I can totally assess the game mentality and actually frame their perspective correctly so readers have the correct context.
