The game looks impressive, there's no denial in that. However, I have a feeling the game be a victim for the long development time. It's been almost 9 years since it was announced. People have high expectations for this game.

if this wasnt a final fantasy game i would be so hyped for this.

Its Final Fantasy, people's expectations were too high for this game before it was even a thought in Nomura's brain.

Found a Japanese script. Here is all the important stuff shown:

Walking the world

• The first video shown is a portion of the Dascae region which will be on the demo
• Events and enemy position removed/changed for this video to show just the walking
• You can eat and gather information at gas stations
• If you can see something in the background you can go to it
• Depending on the shape of the ground Noct and friends walking animations will change
• If you keep running you can see your friends tire and try to catch their breath
• You can fish in streams, rivers, and the ocean!
• You can fight the wildlife. As they are always active, be careful as they will attack if you get close
• There are buildings in the forest with people living in them. You can enter some of these buildings
• There are also animals that aren't enemies like cats and dogs
• In order to make the mountains the developers actually climbed one. They might show a video of them doing this one day
• Demons like the Naga or the Goblins will come out of the caves at night
• It's dangerous at night and is safer to rest at a gas station or by other means
• The party members dialogue will change in accordance to the time
• A Chocobo was shown in the forest. Look forward to finding out more in the demo
• The enemy airship patrols will sometimes land and fight you
• Magitek Armor will make an appearance. (was not meant to have been said)
• The Dascae region is as a large as 10% of the game

The Tech Demo!

• Currently transferring the game from Ebony to Luminous
• Engine transferring currently 80% complete and will be 100% done by the time the demo is out
• Working with Sony and MS to help push the hardware to its limits
• Not all, but you can destroy buildings and the ground
• With the power of Luminous FFXV will far surpase FF:AC
• Another tech demo is planned to be shown at a later date

Your questions to Tabata

Q.What if I mash the attack button instead of holding it down?
A.Even if you mash the attack button the combo will still operate fine and connect together. It's possible to counter while you button mash; if you hold the button down you have to be more careful of the enemies movements and it's more strategic.

Q.Will Type0 HD be available digitally and will it come with the FFXV demo?
A.Of course

Q.Why doesn't the MP show up on the UI?
A.The battle UI is still temporary. When it is complete it will clearly show the MP


Q.I'm a little worried the game will only last 40 hours
A.The main story itself will take 40 hours. Beating dungeons and other actives will make the length of the game much longer

Jump Festa!

The scale of the game seems huge, since what we saw is only a part of Dascae region, and Dascae region represents 10% of the game !

Dev not aiming for parity is also a good thing

"I'm worried the game will only last 40 hours", I'm worried it's going to be more :(

My dick has been satisfied. Dear God, the hype just intensifies with each news about the game.

Well, there goes the surprise at the end of the demo.

It will last 40 hours, if you only do the story and nothing else, which is pretty good.

What a productive mentality

Thank you for this. My level of excitement is through the roof!

I needed to watch this again after seeing the ACIV screenshots. The game really does look amazing.
