I have played a large chunk of FF15. AMA.

Were you given any indication to the number of chapters in the game?
How are the minigames relevant to the main game, how do they tie in to your progression?
What did you not like about the driving, and did you have the opportunity to fly?

 

[Ritscher]

Can you swim as Noctis?

 

[Solid Sora]

So, did you try to use a gun or a crossbow as Noctis? I noticed they intentionally avoided to show it many times in the video. How is it working?

 

[AverageAfro]

Can you swim as Noctis?

We've seen that there's an animation for it so I would assume you can. Yeah.

More answers to come, but the first preview of mine can be found here: http://www.vg247.com/2016/08/16/fin...nderful-and-definitely-in-need-of-that-delay/

More coming!

Great write up! I can't wait until I can go hands on with the final product myself.

What I heard from my inside source who played the game at gamescom I asked him some questions and this is what I got ( I can ask more if you want to know anything else)
1. You can swim but cant dive
2. You can drive the car offroad you just have to get it out of the forcefield (which takes 5 seconds)
3. Game looks worse than duscae but better than pd
4. You can use guns
5. You can fight with Iris (for side quests)
6. There was 1 more minute of chapter 0 we didn't see
7. Npc's have their own schedule
8. There is a train you can ride
9. Xbox and PS4 both ran 30 fps 90% of the time.
10. There is double jump but it will take alot of Ap to learn

Was this the source that said something about a Leviathan demo today? All of that (save #3) sounds great, but this is the first time I've seen these features described. Maybe I haven't read enough previews (or there's an embargo), but I thought some of these would have been mentioned.

Assuming your source is genuine -- and I'm not doubting you, mind -- how did the demo look?

He said it didn't look as bad as the images that were posted were letting on, but it could still use some improvements.

This is your inside source who said we'd be getting a look at Leviathan today? I'm not sure I would trust that person anymore. Beyond that, a lot of this stuff (1, 4, 8) are all things we've known for a while now. And contradicting your source, others at the event stated that was all there was to Chapter 0. Who is this source?

Dude from the my discord chat who played the demo

I'm really not trying to ruffle any feathers here so I'm going to try to be delicate. This person already seems to have lied about the Leviathan video hitting today (the window of time is past) and I would hesitate to believe details provided by them. People at the event have stated on multiple occasions that what we saw of Chapter 0 is all there was at Gamescom, for instance. I don't believe your inside source is credible at this stage, but will be happy to be wrong if we do get such a video.

Ilazy77, is this the same source that hinted the Levi thing or is it a totally different person?

its the same dude, he said he saw the Levi fight in a vip room.

Apparently they're showing something right now: https://twitter.com/Fami_xv

yep my source might have been right

 

[Death Penalty]

yep my source might have been right

If he is I swear to never doubt you again.

I know he says it shows today, but did he mention any specific time?

 

[llazy77]

The trailer might not be shown to the public might have been closed doors

 

[Nova]

Did he say that? Also does he have pics of him playing at Gamescom?

 

[Death Penalty]

If the trailer doesn't show outside of this mysterious closed doors VIP thing I'm gonna have to call BS unless your source can describe it in intimate detail and be proven correct down the line. No points for just guessing a Leviathan fight either, we already knew that.
