FF XV Town Demo

Nothing too substantial here. A new mechanic character is shown, then they drive into town. Once in the town the dev switches to a dog and roams around. I like how lively the town looks in the beginning, but the areas the dog explores are completely empty. I'm guessing that'll be different when the game is done (it better be :/ )

Kind of wish Dog Mode was in the full game but oh well. Some of the town's geography didn't even appear to be finished yet, hence the green wireframe around some of the stuff, so I wouldn't be too worried about the town being empty. Especially with the amount of people shown walking about before the dog stuff, it doesn't seem like the game is going for Unity levels of density but I am guessing the town's will be adequately populated.

Looks good, but FF is dead to me after 13.

That seem totally reasonable.

Wait, Jessica Nigri is in this game?

Why does that mechanic not zip up her jacket, that is a hazard if you are working on cars.

It's because she knows she's being watched by potential customers. Now she can charge them more money.

I am pretty pumped for this game! Will definitely be playing in japanese with subtitles though.... the voice acting is not necessarily bad, just... overwrought or something?

That sure is some video game character design, video game.

Mechanic in heels, love it. Playing as a dog looks like a neat diversion, and as usual that car looks super baller.

So they made Cid a women? That's kinda a neat, progressive thing to do.

(Sees character design)

UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

So what you're saying is that it sounds like a Japanese video game!

Too cartoony for a final fantasy that has a foot placed in a slightly more realistic aesthetic. Especially the British dude and that mechanic's attempt at a southern accent.

This gets me kind of worried that there will only be one real town in the game

Yeah. That mechanic girl character design is fucking awful... Like... Come on.

Sure, I could maybe deal with the zipped down jacket, but the short shorts, the boots, and the jacket being short showing her stomach? Come on!!!!!

@KoolAid It's a final fantasy game, I am sure there will be plenty of strong female characters. There always is. One sexy lady isn't worth getting in a tizzy over.

Even if she did zip up her jacket, her stomach is completely exposed. That shop better be shut down if the workers are dressed like that. It's an accident waiting to happen.

@Aegon The british dude is by far the worst. Also, their voices just don't match the characters. I just don't believe that any of those people talk like that!

Oh man, that's pretty neat. Dog Mode better make it into this game. They seem to have put everything else in it.

There is a version of this without the developer commentary over it?

No, my impressions are coming from the most recent trailer:

@aegon: Oh wow somehow missed that.
