FFXV ATR Preliminary Feedback: New Voice Overs & More

[arcaneguyver]

1. Voice Acting: In response to a popular complaint that Noctis' voice was too deep, Tabata announced that final game already has different voice acting.
2. Camera: There are plans to pull the camera back during combat, as well as the possibility of camera controls for the player.
3. Mini map: Will be added, but no radar.
4. Difficulty: Japan complained that the game was too hard, NA complained it was too easy. They said it is possible that they will add a difficulty option.
5. Demo Version 2.0: The devs would like to update the demo in mid to late May as a show of thanks to those who partook in the survey, and to show that they take feedback seriously.

1. Good. Even though I'm sick of the typical anime main character voices (may edit link examples in later), Noctis' VA didn't fit him at all.

2. Camera improvements, thank God. I figured the framerate & jaggies would be sorted, but the camera was another thing altogether.

3. A minimap is a welcome addition.

4. LOL, what a difference! What a difference. Remember how NA initially got the baby version of Final Fantasy 4 (renamed 2)? How parts of FF7 was simplified for the NA audience? LOL

5. This is where I well and truly begin to believe Square Enix has changed for the better. Whereas Capcom & especially Konami seem to be withering away, SE is carefully rebuilding their fanbase.
