Final Fantasy XV: Cup Noodle XV Special Edition

[Draylo]

Am I the only one who never had a problem with the Tidus/Yuna laughing scene? They're literally supposed to laugh out loud, and Yuna even says "You probably shouldn't laugh any more...". I thought it was a great scene, and not because of how ridiculous laughing out loud like that is.

No I thought it was a good scene too.

No issues with this scene. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously, and it wasn't. People are just hard asses.

[Uzor]

That scene - no. There's countless of other scenen though. People always mention that scene as a horror example, but it's the same in japanese. It's supposed to be a fake laugh and awkward.

Bro's better straight up bro and mansplain

[The Stig]

Question: I didn't have time to go through the JP version of the demo
What do the crew call Noctis? In English it was "majesty" or "prince"

I was thinking "bocchan" (young master) but I dunno, was wondering if anyone picked up on this. Just curious.

[-Zer0-]

Ignis was often calling Noctis, "highness" in English. They're more brotherly in Japanese, calling him by name or, "Nocto" phonetically, most of the time. Not sure if the others gave him nicknames like "The Prince of Pain" in Japanese since the subtitles didn't come up for me during combat.

[The Stig]

Oooops yes highness sounds right, I forget haha. That was the word I was shooting for. So just curious what the JP use as that word.

::Noctis takes damage::
Bros: Come on Noct quit acting like a noob.
::Bros over-heal girl::

[The Stig]

Ok I found my answer haha

I knew "Ojou" was used for females; used by servants to their female masters. I didn't recall an anime that had a male equivalent of recent so the term left my mind.

Noctis-ouji is what they use... but to the untrained ear it's Noctis Orgy lol

HexaDrive revealed as another one of many co-developers
http://www.famitsu.com/news/201504/06075460.html | http://gematsu.com/2015/04/hexadrive...nal-fantasy-xv

HexaDrive also had a hand in developing Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, Okami HD, ZOE 2 HD, and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD.

[Tidane]

Type-0 HD surpassed one million units worldwide and they've having an ATR on the 28th to talk about the feedback they received. I assume that is FFXV feedback and not Type-0 feedback.

[Burningthought]

Episode Duscae is getting a 2.0 patch to address some of the feedback from the surveys in Mid-Late May.

The ATR today was leaked way early. The link is private right now but it should go public in like 15 minutes. The video has full english subs.



I'm kinda disappointed that the story content didn't make the top 15. I'm hoping we don't get another convoluted FF story.

[Katlan]

That's pretty awesome they are updating a demo though. Look forward to seeing the changes

[Tyrath]

This is like unprecedented levels of feedback from SE. Makes me very hopeful. Video is long though, hope someone comes up with a text version of the 15 most complained about issues and the responses.

[Tyrath]

I'll do a quick list of the ones I get through before I go to sleep.

1) Lock on is bad. Mobs go off screen
A) They noticed this also and will be working to make the lock on better.

2) Camera too close
A) Might have multiple camera settings but they will have to see what would need to be sacrificed in order to have the time to tune that before they make a decision.

3) Camera too sluggish
A) Will be made smoother. Period.

4) Dumb ally AI. Don't act as wanted and also they get in Noct's way.
A) Will program to keep from getting in each others way. Trying to create a sense of camaraderie with the AI, not quite there yet. Some of it is in the demo, more to come.

5) Jaggies and Frame rate drops.
A) Anti-aliasing wasn't in the demo but will be in the full game so jaggies will be reduced.
They don't want to lower the quality of the objects or the numbers so they are working on optimizing the framerate. Currently bottleneck during battle is VFX and UI. From the feedback they understand that framerate seems more important to players than full HD resolution so they won't sacrifice framerate. Still aiming for full HD.

6) Motion is realistic, but feels slow because of that.
A) A lot of this has to do with the weight of the weapon being used. They are trying to increase the range.
They are working on feeling connected to the ground and make the player feel like they are part of the world. Doing trial and error to get the right balance of realism but also speed. Armiger is there to speed up the gameplay during moments of need but they also want to design around joint attacks during normal times so they want to balance between the 2 styles. As with everything else, this will be optimized as well.

7) Minimap or compass please? Possibly something to give a better sense of where you are in relation to allies?
A) They will add minimap. Will look into if they can implement something to give players better sense of their surroundings. This ties back into the camera so once they polish that up they will reassess the need for something like a radar.

8) Want dodge that isnt tied to MP.
A) There is a dodge roll in the game. Only the warp dodge made it to the demo.

9) Too much reliance on MP. Hiding to recover MP isn't fun.
A) MP recovery was balanced for the demo. Many other battle features will be in the main game that will make each fight shorter and use less MP. Time spent recovering MP will go down a lot. HT thinks hiding or warping to a high spot to recover MP and then jumping back into the fray is a fun tactic and he doesn't want to completely lose it. Just needs to balance the amount.

10) JP players said game was too hard. Western said it was too easy.
A) Best option for this is to include difficulty options. No multiple difficulties atm but they are Working towards simultaneous worldwide release!!!! so they feel the need to incorporate that. "I think we will include it. We will."


I'm sleepy so you guys are on your own for the last 5. Hype about worldwide release though.

[Shenrien]

Give us something similar to Beginner, Standard, Proud, Critical with Zero EXP that actually has some sort of scaling so you don't deal chip damage to everything when at Lv.1 and I would love the game.

[Vagrant]

No E3 reveal this year either they said towards the end. Gamescom is more likely for their next big reveal.

And Titan bug? Anyone know what that was about? Hadn't heard anything previously about being able to encounter Titan through a bug.
