I just noticed that in English voicecast trailer Luna already wears marriage ring, i haven't seen any rings on her fingers in Kingsglaive
Actually, Luna does wear a ring in Kingsglaive on her ring finger on her left hand. Whenever Luna's onscreen I see everything! Lol If you watch carefully, you can see the ring when
Nyx catches her and holds her left hand after Ultros tosses her.
But the best time to see the ring is when she
tears off a piece of her dress in the elevator to wrap Regis' hand
I'm not quite sure why the ring is now on her right hand in the game - maybe it's just an error.
And also it doesnt look like Lucii ring, so probably Leviathan event happens after they actually marry each other with Noctis, maybe thats why she already call him "King", since she is his queen. Cool little detail i think. :eek:
I never thought of it like that, but that would be interesting....

Edit: The TGS trailer was nice, even though I didn't understand a word of it... I hope we see the English version and more trailers.
The PS4 looks beautiful. Much nicer than that ugly Xbox One edition with that red/white stripe thing across the middle.

Wow really liking the graphical improvements done to the hair. Most of not all the dithering is gone especially in the Luna scene when she is surrounded by Nifleheim robots at gun point(comparing to the Dawn 2.0 trailer).

The detail on the dress is lessened but that more because the dress is completely different now.

Really nice improvement overall to the character model.

Now as with most comparison it's difficult to compare as there is dynamic lighting so the scenes are not in the same time of day for instance. But even still you can tell there is an obvious graphical improvement there in the character model compared to the Dawn trailer. And the slight change in facial structure would depend on people's preference. I don't have a preference. I'd be happy with either or. However the detail on the new one is more apparent as you can see redness and blemishes as apposed to the old dawn 2.0 model which looks like simple and plastic like skin shader.

I just went over to NeoGaf to check things out and people are having a predictable meltdown over that trailer lol. That place is so ridiculous. This trailer was clearly just a tease until Squares press conference three days from now. I liked the footage that I saw and am really interested in Ravus' character in the game. I couldn't understand what he was saying but I'm intrigued.

Yeh it's always like that over the there.

I'm currently interested on a user to give a reply to another user concerning there claim that the poly count in a character model was decreased even though there is no visual decrease in polygons of that character model. Should be enlightening to see their knowledge of graphics and polygonal usage specifically for character models and how they came to determine that the polygons have been decreased in a technical manner claiming that there is a downgrade. I see no visual downgrade myself so I am interested in how they came to this conclusion.

Hahaha I love it. Those people over there are nothing but armchair game developers who try to sound as if they know better than actual game devs on how to make a game look better. They are professional nitpickers with an elitist attitude nothing more.

They wouldn't use the Pro footage without saying anything. I trust Tabata more than a lot of game devs out there. I think we will hear more about the Pro version at their press conference in three days. Both the Pro and PS4 version will look amazing. The extra time from the delay they are using to polish the game has done wonders for the image quality and performance and they still have another couple months to work on it. They have really impressed me over the last couple of years and I think Tabata was the best choice to take the lead on this project.

Here is a translation of what was said in the trailer
Luna: Betting on the pride of the Oracles, I will purify the world from darkness and return the light that has been lost!

Ravus: You say that the chosen man worthy of King, is this powerless and foolish?

Literal translation;

Gladio: Where in the world is there a Prince so utterly useless.
Noctis: You..!
Prompto: Stop that...! *bitchslappedbygladio*
Noctis: I... I know that already... you bastard!!
Gladio: Then straighten yourself up! You big fool!

Please let me know if there is any corrections to this that need to be made.

Even NovaCrystallis comment section is full of these jerks too, they can freak out about pretty much everything. If SE changes something they instantly start to think about downgrade, its so annoying to read.

PS: Im in love with Luna redisgn, the only thing i will miss is dat sexy eyelashes :p

Yeah, the scene is clearly (graphically) worse now, but Luna's new design is so much better and actually looks a human being instead of a plastic doll.

Do we have a translation of this trailer already? I wonder what Gladio is all about. Poor Prompto can't catch a break.

Also, Ignis is blind for sure. He even has a walking stick with him. I'm guessing that's the reason he doesn't really react to the argument and that he'll eventually Chapter 0's (visor?) glasses. It could be cool if maybe they steal Niflheim tech to get them. Or Cid creates them.

Edit: thanks for the translation TheOneWhoIsTornApart!

Ugh, don't mention NovaCrystallis. One look at the comments is all I needed. Never again.

Maybe it's because the posts here had me preparing for the worst, but I actually thought GAF's response so far was comparatively subdued. I was expecting to have to remind people that TGS hasn't even started yet. I haven't been to GFaqs yet. I'm sure that'll be a treat.

Even with the translations, it's hard to really see what's going on there. It's good to know that the Bros aren't going to just get by on magical friendship dust and there will be some infighting, but it's hard to grasp the gravity of the scene without context. I do hope the trailer proper is considerably longer.

Can you explain to me in the technical field how is it graphically worse?
Not character model preference. Not lightning preference. An actual analysis of how you came to the conclusion that it's 'clearly' downgraded. Can you explain to me how the poly count has decreased and to what percentage it was decreased?
Do you feel there is a lessened or lack of PBR and GI? Or does the POM seem downgraded?

All I see are improvements.
1) in the animation of the hair
2)the detail of the skin shader

I blame lack of information from SE, Most of people still don't know about full day-night cycle and how it affects in-game scenes. Yes Luna model was changed a bit, i can't call downgrade anyway. But people really start crying about how its "Not dark anymore" when its clearly a daytime and lack of tragic music. Geez.
