I know some people aren't feeling the combat, but man, when you're in the groove and are dealing with multiple enemies it feels so good. At one point (it was one of the Mesmerize hunts) it was very cool looking to see attacks, dodging, link skills, and warps becoming this sort of organic and fluid visual experience.
Also, once you get it, it feels great too. I don't think I took damage from anything until the dual horn fight when I mis-timed a dodge. Can't wait to play more of this.

Yea, hopefully day 1 of the game has a smoother Pro version. Right now I'm sticking to base version because it just makes the combat shine more with how fluid it is.
Thanks! That's more than enough.
I was obviously wrong. It seems the demo is indeed patched for the Pro.

Don't know if anyone got around to uploading the first battle theme, but if not here you go.

I will make it through this demo with Transate :VVV
Yup. From my understanding though, isn't the base mode running with pro hardware so it makes the mode run smoother on the Pro. Am I wrong?
Idk, not Feeling it. At least i wont feel as Bad waiting for a price Drop. I know i shouldnt make opinions after playing for barely an hour but the huge Fields of nothing, beelining for Quest markers,...Not feeling it.
Also it somehow bothered me how noctis weirdly stoos midair when jumping from high places.

Yea, it might be the Pro hardware at work but I'm fairly certain it's locked to 30 FPS regardless. I didn't notice it going above 30 but then again, I haven't really sat down and played it a lot.
Edit: Other thread says it's uncapped. Interesting. I didn't really notice that in my brief time with it.

Super cool thing happened to me during that dual horn fight: I had equipped beforehand a fire spell and I got a link attack with Gladio and got a counter opportunity, in which he threw me in the air with his sword and Noctis casted fire on the beast then it died while burning ! That was intense and so exciting! That is some kind of finisher I wished to see for a long time !
Surprised this wasnt quoted more. This looks amazing, I love how the fire effect burns the ground and sets it on fire and moves its way out. Also that music is unreal!

Looks and performs great on the OG PS4. Sometimes it's a little bit blurry, maybe it's the dynamic resolution. Nothing that really bothers me though.
Found a cool greatsword with a fire element attached to it.

A question for people playing on OG PS4.
How loud the PS4 fans get while playing this? For comparison is it quieter or louder than Witcher 3 on OG PS4?

Depends of the moment, but it's a mix of super loud, loud and relatively loud.
airstep and warp strike are just too good :')

I like tough long fights but it seems like those rhinos were non threatening, and it was just tough to put them out of their misery. Though I'm sure there are risky fights out there and I should look up that Iron Giant fight.
It wasn't quiet, but not that loud either. I think it is quieter than W3. I just know it was nowhere near as loud as when I played Uncharted 4 which sounded like a jet engine.

There's a new ability in the demo called Airslip, allows you to dodge (by pressing square) in the air. After 10 hours in Platinum Demo, it's a godsend!
You can also get a skill called Blink where if you press Square at the last second you can phase through an enemy and it uses no MP.

You're not going to get punished as much on Easy mode anyway.

Thanks for the reply.
I see. I thought that would be the case. Still hoping that the super loud ones are few and far in-between.
Ah, that's actually good to hear. If it's like Witcher 3 or better yet even quieter than that, then I don't think I would have any problem with it

Not playing it myself but came in to read gameplay impressions not too many mostly pro talk.
How's the camera is it fixed or will we be counting on the day one patch to make it better

The easy mode doesn't help either, but Japan finds the game hard ¯\_(ツ
Ah good to hear it's default on easy mode. I always play Dragon Age on Nightmare, and when harder difficulty mods are made I use those too.
FFXII seemed ok with it's difficult hunts, especially if I tackle them early.
Looks so good. Noctis breaking the horn with the spear 42 seconds in reminds me of XIV 1.0's battle regimens. Hope they got a lot of reactions for mobs against certain weapons.

Yeah Blink is extra great because it can cancel attack animations. Vastly improve the combat.

My heart melted a little when I got into the car and put on the FF7 world map theme and drove around.
I haven't had that feeling with any game in years.

I suspected I would like the whole travel-by-car thing, but man, it's really great. It feels like an elegant solution to having cool stuff in your open world without having to jam it all into a smaller play area. Plus, it really nails the whole "this is a road trip" feeling.

Reminds me of perfect dodge that Nero has in DMC4. That was amazing. The Blink ability and mid-air dodge will be the first ones that I buy when I get my hands on the game.
Had the same feeling when playing the series' prelude.
XV is gonna be something special.

I'd like to thank the Pro for making me discover game mode on my monitor. The color on the standard mode looks literally gray to me now when I compare it to game mode.
Here are two screens I took of FFXV:
There is so much more color without making the image too saturated! Can't believe I've played games like this for two and a half years!
