Things I don't like 

-The sheer level of bro. Seriously, do the character really need to constantly high five and take pictures? If ever a game needed some female party members it was this one. The bromance is through the roof on this one.

What does MASTER version even mean?

There are far too many teamwork moments during fights and most of them feel forced and some of them are just plain silly. The combat isn't flashy like PG games, nor it's tight like Souls, more importantly, the camera angles get tedious far too often.

The dialogue is cheesy and made me cringe, wasn't worthy of the accompanying epic music at all.

The girl in a tight bra has an incredibly annoying accent. Speaking of voices, the voice-acting is horrendous and stale. It's not dynamic, there is no depth to it, it's not 3D, it feels like all of them are speaking directly into a microphone, all of it feels as if it is taped over the video. They better improve the mixing. 

Graphically, it needs some serious polish.

The good:
we finally get to see them out of those ridiculous outfits we've been seeing for 10 years. Driving is actually kinda entertaining, although, Noctis friends can be too talkative. The night time section looked interesting.


Overall, I am not impressed, I am not disappointed.

You still hold down the O button to do consecutive attacks.



But don't confuse the consecutive attacks to being the equivalent of multiple "Attack" commands in older FF games. It's not. If you take a look at the damage each hit deals in the Demo, you'll notice that a full string of attacks is more like the equivalent of one single Attack in FFX.
The difference being that in FFX, once you chose Attack, you'll simply deal the damage, and that's that.
There's more to it here. In FFXV, you'll have the choice to customize your combo attack on the fly for more, or less, damage. You may for example want to go for less damage (cut the combo short and evade, or ignore switching to a slower harder hitting weapon as a combo ender) to avoid an incoming attack from behind. This gives interesting depth to the combat system, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it unfolds in the full game.

-The English dub. Some of the characters sound really good, pretty much like I would have expected them to sound. In particular I like the English VA for Gladiolus, Prompto, Cid, Cor, and Iris. However, some of the English VA is cringy as heck, particularly Ignis, Noctis, and Ardyn (red haired bad guy).

Well... i take my previous post back. I'm no longer interested again. Boring combat. If there was control over every slash i could've tolerated it. I don't enjoy holding down the button and auto-attacking.

God I LOVE the music. Shimomura is a goddess of music.
The game looks like something I'd have a lot of fun playing. I just wish that when you do a hunt, there wasn't a marker telling you where to find the monster you're hunting, part of the fun of the hunts is finding the monster imo. The combat looked really fun, though it's hard to judge it without playing it myself.
I love that you can change the clothes of the characters and that you can customize your chocobo and the chocobo races looked so fun and there's fishing, that's really cool. And the part where that giant bird wakes up was so epic XD. That city they showed at the end was really pretty. This video actually got me more hyped for the game than I already was. Game looks like a really epic adventure. I don't like old bearded Noctis tho.
