Final Fantasy XV [XO, PS4, PC]

Wow congrats! The omen trailer is now Canon! They intertwine it with in-game story.

Edit

Btw anybody feels like the main storyline live inside a totally separate box and the quests + open world is in another box?

The characters dissonance is so big.
 
Having a total blast with it. I'm also one of those lucky guys who isn't particularly bothered by frame pacing. Never cared about it in Bloodborne or Dark Souls 3 either. This is a gorgeous game.
 
Frame pacing is one of those things... It's perfectly playable, doesn't bother much, but it's one of those things that make me go "WTF, 10 years in the making and they didn't fix this??!". Like a few other things, such as the totally annoying and fiddly 'press X to pick up or mount a Chocobo' thing that just doesn't f'kin work unless you line up your character perfectly. Honestly, what is this, 1995?

Brilliant game tho. Just got Ramuh. About that, I have no idea how or why the summons come out. I managed to get Titan out, but by the time he actually appeared, the battle was pretty much over anyway. Not sure how to get Ramuh out. I know they have to do with you or team members being at 0 HP but the option doesn't always come up. Weird.

In Asia its O.

Mwahahaha
 
Yeah, having the commands for jumping and interacting share one and the same button was indeed a really dumb choice. Most of the other buttons don't do diddly squat outside of combat anyway, so why didn't they map something to triangle instead?
Still, it's really no more than a small nuisance. Overall I'm really impressed with the game so far. Unlike FFXIII's direct sequels, XV doesn't just feel like a reactionary and desparate course correction. It's a game with heart and soul. I was really pleased and surprised when the game actually had the balls to boot my sorry ass all the way back to the loading screen when my party of noobs fell prey to a lvl. 50 enemy residing all the way down in the lowest level of an ore mine. No convenient checkpoint for you buddy, but how about a kick in the nuts instead?
 
Totally. Little niggles here and there. But it's E P I C
overall, it is indeed awesome.
but it fell apart in many minute details.

i wonder how is the working condition for the last few months before release..... Surely they are in heavy crunch and barely got sleep, have no life, etc.

now most of the staff should be on vacation, and i wonder... who's responsible for the post-release patch?

hopefully its a new team with a new member. Not the regular developer that has just finished their crunch.

(like Destiny with "live team")
 
A comparison between the HDR and SDR offscreen on a LG C6 Oled.
I haven't got the game yet but can imagine the HDR in person would be eyegasm.

hmm what a shitty looking HDR when captured like that. I wonder how it looks in-person?

anyway, that shitty looking HDR is the same as my TV! LG UH610T
- Too many color boost = cartoony tone
- too high contrast
 
And did I. I posted some pics from the demo and made vague statement about ingame hair. Sorry, my English isn't very good so it wasn't very elaborate.


I didn't make close up hair/fur comparison when I had the demo, so there is at least something (Lightweight and Quality mode comparison on the PS4 Pro)

Yeah it'll definitely be Quality mode for me.
Maybe I'll play Uncharted 4 before I get into FF XV to see if the developer fixes the framepacing issues, but there's no way I'm playing the "lightweight mode" when I have a 4K HDR TV and a Pro.

You can't take a cam recording and evaluate color and contrast from that...
That TV is an OLED model, while yours probably doesn't even have local dimming (edge-lit at best). It's not comparable.

... in the retail version of the game these two modes are called "high" and "lite".

You don't need 4k screen to enjoy "high" mode, even on 1080p screen it looks great, no aliasing, better AF, better grass, etc.
 
is my eyes deceiving me?

FFXV runs in 60 fps in my PS4!!!!!!!!!!! livestreaming it on youtube.com/moreuse


look when the character moves, or when i rotate the camera a wee bit. Near the end, i disabled HDR and it looks like the game runs in 30 fps again.

EDIT
took my 120fps camera. load the game save. and... i can't reproduce it. argh

btw does youtube from PS4 does record in 60 fps? i can't check the youtube video. My internet connection only around 20 KB/s due to sudden maintenance :/

at chapter 8 9 10. there will be more and more pre-rendered cutscenes with various (rendering AND encoding) quality.
heck, one of them even sounds like encoded in 64Kbps MP3 or something.

no disk space left? some are rendered in a rush? O_O
 
Game DVR on a Pro maxes out at 1080p30, but 1080p60 feed can be sent to Twitch and YouTube.

I'm on vanilla ps4. It does shows as 720p60 both on PS4 and YouTube tho. So I think it does streams in 60 fps.

Btw I still can't reproduce the uncapped fps glitch in other chapters
