Fully deserved.

It's been the best showing of XV to date. And to think, they just needed to show us the actual gameplay with no bells, whistles or afrojack. That says a lot.

Sweet. Is that overall? Not like the kinda underwhelming gimme that is "Best RPG", and voted on by the people so no one can claim they were "paid" for it, lol. (god damn the internet is such an amazingly wasted tool on some, lol)

Uncovered

Last video

downgraded or different time of day? can't tell... I think it's a mix of both.

Here's a post from GAF's Delaney trying to recreate the Uncovered image just with post-processing:

Ok so here is a roughly 2 minute attempt by a somewhat competent artist to approximate the look of the Uncovered version of the scene using only Exposure(Exposure, Offset, and Gamma) and then Exposure+Color Correction.

Master Version

Master Version Exposure adjustment

Master Version Exposure adjustment and Color Correction

Uncovered

Is it as good? Absolutely not, but the point is that with a little performance independent art direction, you can at least make it better.

no downgrade here apparently; this is weird.

Noticed that Luna's face changed a bit and it looks way better now, imo. Subtle but effective change.

Someone on Twitter made this:

I prefer the Uncovered look and lightning.

Letting the game do the talking does wonders. :3

I feel stupid asking this but would someone mind telling me how to make spoiler tags?. I would really appreciate it.

So I was watching the English voice acting trailer again and I noticed that Noctis had

didn't noticed the splash effects, nice addition.

Just remembered. Where there any confirmations for fast travel in the full game? If so, how does it work?

I read one of the impressions saying you can fast travel back to the last place you rested (like in Duscae) or the car. It wasn't 100% clear that you have the choice vs. whichever one you activated last, but I interpreted it as you have the choice.

Interesting

Given this was the best image i could find in regards to fast travel location:



...it does leave up to interpretation whether its either any spot after resting or the other way around. Maybe by choice still?

Actually, that totally answers the question. What I wasn't clear about is whether or not it was just one return location that is either your last rest stop OR the car, or if it would separate the two options. That's showing the two options.

I am 99% sure that no one has seen anything with a choice as to which rest point, at least yet. Just like in Episode Duscae, it'll just take you back to the last place you slept.

Edit: This doesn't mean there won't BE one, BTW. I'm pretty sure you don't even get your first crystal to port to in FFXII for like 10 hours into the game and all we've seen is about 3-5 hours worth of this one.

Weird, considering i asked someone who played the Gamescom demo (he's in this forum btw) not too long ago today whether or not choosing camp spots for fast travel was an option compared to Episode Duscae, he confirmed yes.
