Okay good, a place to freak out.

They showed about 30s of the 3.0 benchmark during a test broadcast earlier. Dark Knight in an abandoned/decrepit fortress squaring off against a white beast. Corpse comes to life and some fucked up wolves circle around and pincer him. Machinist/Astrologian/Ninja run to his rescue. Ninja used a new skill. Yoshida then ran on stage yelling STOP

[Buffy]

Lol.

I want the DX11 benchmark, I hope that is part of it.

How long does a live letter normally go? Haven't watched in a while.

[Skai]

About an hour... Edit: or two.

[Skai]

Oooooh yeaaaa it's starting.

[Skai]

Balls to the wall hype!

[Rocl]

yo that trailer tho

[Rocl]

love how the first 30s spoiled the big PLOT TWISTS for 2.55 LOL

i seriously can't get over how much i like the continuing storyline shit man

[Skai]

Dang that new title screen looks nice.

More than 50 hours of gameplay for the main scenario is pretty cool.

[Buffy]

50 hours of cut scenes you mean.

[Skai]

I'm fine with that.

[Rocl]

No genkai/limit break quests (thank god)

[Rocl]

New areas billed at 50-100% bigger than current areas

(so 1.5x or 2x bigger if you're bad with numbers)

9 areas incl. Ishgard + Floating Continent

doesn't sound like a whole lot tbh but maybe their size will make up for it

[Buffy]

Only 9 new zones?

[Skai]

Hopefully nothing like Lower La Noscea because I don't like that map.

[Obsidian]

How many zones are there currently, 15-20 (excluding housing areas)? If each is almost twice as large as the original areas, that's roughly the same amount of space as 2.0.

[Skai]

Based on what we're seeing on the stream now, it looks ginormous.

[Stef]

Dhalmel confirmed 3.0!

[Destinye]

50 hours of cut scenes you mean.

This is yoship.

Literally going to be FATE focus again since that's how they padded out the world in 2.x aside filler quests.

At least atonement for flight isn't too bad.

[Deader2818]

I would be shocked if there wasnt fates.
