Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

[Nova]

I read from a translation that she also will apparently tell you when she'll be ready to aid in battle too.

 

[ChingleeTribal]

As long as they prompt me and not just start the summon automatically then I'm fine with that.

Yes if theres no prompt thats bullshit.

 

[Lulcielid]

On top of this, her summoning conditions are completely random, and she will show up whenever she wants, whether you want her to or not.

It can`t be that random, there must be some kind of limit, like I don`t see her showing up "randomly" inside close space like the underground mines.

I've read a number of impressions online that the game crashed and had to be restarted for people who played it at Gamescom, think APZonerunner had that issue too. It's good to see that what they're having a month later is much more stable.

I saw that most people that talked about the game crashing at Gamescom were talking about the stream crashing during the Aranea fight . If there was actual crashes I hadn't heard of or seen anything. I did however hear of a crash that happend at EGX. I am extremely confident that we will have a smooth and polished game graphically and performance wise by release because Tabata and the rest of the team have made some seriously impressive improvements in just a couple months.

Random under the right conditions of course.

 

[DrBretto]

I think I heard from 3 people that it crashed at Gamescom.

Yeah, gamescom had some issues, but I don't think I have seen any reports of instability at TGS.

As long as they prompt me and not just start the summon automatically then I'm fine with that.

FWIW, the way interpretated the Google trate version, it's that when conditions are right, when Shiva wants to help you, youll be prompted with the opportunity.

Filtered out and uploaded most of the 'new' gameplay stuff:

Also, game crashed which was unfortunate. But it seemed to be quite a rough build(latest but unoptimised?) as the button prompts for fishing for example were wrong in the tutorial.
There were also grphical glitches I noticed. Less obvious was Ignis' sleave missing textures when driving. And the obvious weird group hug when Noctis was fishing xD

 

[Lulcielid]

Thanks for your effort @ChingleeTribal .

 

[BladeRunner]

This is how it happened in fanfics.

Noctis orgy.

 

[Guitar (pseudo)God]

Yeah, the team has some work ahead of them (much to the delight of the usual suspects). But once again, the combat looked fun, and the banter is quite realistic and engaging.

It's like Noctis is looking down at himself getting a handjob from gladio, lol.

Anyway, guess it IS a little rough, though, huh? Its hard to tell what's real and what's hyperbole. They did say that the later stuff was worse than the first three chapters, so at least they were already aware of some of this stuff, which would suggest the time for fixing it is already budgeted.

It's gotten be tough to have to keep showing of a build in progress every other week, Though. I kinda wish they would just shut up and bang it out and quit showing us stuff until it's done.

 

[Storm]

i love the radio newscaster.

the crash was embarrassing (marketing/PR of this game is something else).

 

[LeonBlade]

Great footage, loved hearing Titan's theme from XIV as well playing on the radio.

 

[Shamdeo]

 

[Nova]

@DrBretto That build they were playing was from one of the first three chapters though.

I'm just thankful the framerate is more stable.

 

[Guitar (pseudo)God]

Stable framerate, a few graphical glitches, and one crash? Already better than Fallout 4.

I´m puzzled as to how can Bethesda let something like that go gold? and how the heck does that get approved in certification?
