Watch Final Fantasy XV Uncut Gameplay In Glorious 1080p HD

You've probably seen the TGS 2014 livestream of Final Fantasy XV. Now let's watch the gameplay demonstration in glorious 1080p HD.

[LeonhartX]

Wow.. it looks gorgeous!! draw distance is amazing and character models are top notch, back in 2006 nomura said that he is aiming for Advent Children quality but in my opinion this is even better, maybe that long wait was worth it after all.

P.S Battle system doesn't seem to be as slow as people exaggerated, seems fine tbh.

[Big_Game_Hunters]

It definitely isn't advent children quality but it does look amazing.

[mikeslemonade]

SE finally delivered this time! They fooled me after battle because I thought it was a cutscene when they zoomed in up-close to Noctis, but that was in-game gameplay!!!

I was just staring Noctis for 10 seconds expecting him to say something then I realized that's the fucking gameplay. WTF!?

[vishmarx]

looks more or less on par with advent children unless you sit there and examine each pixel.
and that combat, i dont even how theyre getting it work,
how are partner combos so natural and fluid ,
had this been made here in the west ,itd be a goldmine of hilarious glitches lol . partners getting their legs stuck midair or tripping over lol

also spell animations look like they change depending on the enemy size.
im definitely seeing the kh influence. and going by that , the battle system will be legendary.

fyi FFXV will be there at jump fest. its been confirmed .
im loving the new director,
this guy sweeps in and we have , new trailer, tech demo, new gameplay, playable demo, official site updates lol, and regular exhibits.
as much as i love nomuras work, this guy has some serious management skills

its finally happening and it looks like its been worth the wait

[PLASTICA-MAN]

It doesn't have the details of Advent Children, but it looks more realistic, it has better particle effects, character models evnthough have less polygones but look more realistic and have natural skin shader compared to the uncanny old comic looking advent children. Lighting is betetr because you can now enjoy it in real time and not just baked like in Advent Children. Advent Children is good for a movie at THAT time. FFXV just destroys in real time used tech (newer tech so obvious).

[bouzebbal]

looks damn good and it does remind a lot of Advent Children but tbh the gameplay and fights don't catch me so far.
I really miss ATB jauge. Let FF be FF and KH be KH -_-

[DeletedAcc]

Abzdiine
Videogames have evolved. You want your old gameplay? Play old games.

[Rumor]

that is beautiful! it only makes me that more excited to see kingdom hearts 3! CG Pixar quality!?!? Seems not that far fetched

[bouzebbal]

@DeletedAcc:
evolve yes but not the right way. FF has become a joke and this one is nothing but a beat'em all.

[Ashunderfire86]

Look at them both side by side, I say this beats Advent children period!

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Mankey]

I would say this is fairly close to Advent Children.

It looks like they could finally be delivering this time and getting back to exactly what we wanted before the last 8 years.

Actually, the story theme and tone seem more reminiscent of something in between final fantasy VI and VII.

So I could not be more excited.

[guitarded77]

All I can say is we finally have reason to be happy. The game is really coming... eventually.

[jambola]

@kalkano
Yeah, he should grow up like you and constantly keep track of a game he doesn't like so he can complain over and over about it because he isn't getting his way

[jambola]

@kalkano
you're not "fighting" you're bitching on the internet, if you don't like the game just stay away from it like the other people who don'l like it, instead of stalking any articles about the game so you can give your typical comments.

[blackbeld]

It is better!

But one flaw! All of them had great hair in the RAIN!

[KnightRobby]

Pleas help get this approved. This is HD quality as compared to previously bad livestream quality. I am almost certain N4G wants to see 1080p HD!

BTW, I cannot wait for this one! :)

[dasbeer88]

I get the feeling that FF15 is going to be easy. I mean look at Noctis dodging all of the goblin's attacks! It's as though the player is spamming the triangle button from the PS4 controller or something.

[DeletedAcc]

Lol, its a demo
Could be limited

[Myze]

It was a demo to show off basic gameplay, not difficulty. Should have been ridiculously obvious.

He was fighting goblins, which if going by past FF games, are the easiest enemy in the game, and a behemoth right next to them, which is usually ones of the biggest endgame non-boss enemy types. You should be able to easily dodge the easiest mobs in the game. He was getting hit, though, but the characters had on a large health regen, which I'm sure is just a demo feature. Also, it was obvious his basic weapon attacks were at a low level, while his magic was a very high level, like when he used Flare at the end to kill the behemoth.

If being able to dodge enemy attacks alone makes a game easy, I guess the Dark Souls series is the easiest series there is, since you can dodge everything.

Maybe FF15 will end up being really easy, maybe not. This demo in no way can lead to that conclusion one way or the other.

[DragonKnight]

Yeah, I mean Sasuke using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu seems kind of OP even for a demo.

[Paprika]

At face value they look close. But the cloud vs sephiroth scene is better than anything I've seen here, from memory anyway. Who knows, I wouldn't be shocked if this surpasses ac!

[ChickeyCantor]

What draw distance? I mean it looks good but the distance in these scenes are not far.

[DevilOgreFish]

It looks great,

pros - it's definitely the best looking in the series.

cons - performance felt kinda slow, and the combat seems slower than last year's E3 gameplay montage.

[Myze]

I have a feeling we were never gonna get the dynamic fighting fast paced stuff we saw in last year's video for every little fight. The video was of the Leviathan fight destroying a city and from hopping between airships, two scenes that lend themselves to heavy momentum, thus intensity. They showed the sword grapple thing, so I have a feeling there will still be those intense combat/movement scenes we saw in the e3 trailer.

[Evilsnuggle]

You guys are just plain old insecure haters if you can't see FF15 graphics aren't amazing. You boiz got hate in your blood.

[Syntax-Error]

3/4 of the video shown was character selection. Boring

[Hellsvacancy]

"True HD 1080p" lol yeahhhhhh right

[Hellsvacancy]

I'm referring to youtubes quality

[shanic77]

"FULL 1080P GAMPELAY"

ahh its youtube..

Im hoping they update their quality soon!

[jambola]

It begins.
now that we have a new video for ff xv, now we get the many video's that are the same but in different orders.

[Vanfernal]

Am I the only one who is less than impressed with how the combat is looking?

[Roccetarius]

No, you're certainly not the only one. This is just a sad hybrid of FF and KH.

[colonel179]

People are saying it's slower that previously showcased. However, it could also be that they don't have a high level. That's how Kingdom Hearts work: At the beginning of the game you are slow, but when you are at high levels, you do many combos and move much faster.

It could also mean that it was just a tech demo to show people how it works and that's it.

[Myze]

@colonel179

Yep, that's exactly what it is.

It's stupid to compare a fight against goblins which would be at the beginning of the game (the behemoth was basically one-shotted with a way-above-level Flare spell to end the demo), with a fight against Leviathan, a major boss, while he's destroying a town which is probably at mid-game or later.

[Pug]

No your not the only one this doesn't feel like a FF in any way. It looks more like a DmC game to me. Not sure what to make of it really looks similar to XIII when i was able to pretty much spam the Auto command all the way through the game.

[chrissx]

Finally a FF(offline) worth looking forward to

[Lionalliance]

Uncut? where's the uncut part?

[killacal13]

Will it be open world???

[Myze]

I would guess not completely. Will probably be like FF12, as in large open zones with barriers for towns and such.

[kingdom18]

Think Kingdom Hearts open world, more like the first one, BBS, and 3D, I'm going to assume.

[GundalfDeGrej]

Assuming you have a car to drive around in - probably.

[Summons75]

For all those morons who have been crying about how long this game is taking to come out, please look at this video and try to tell me this doesn't justify the time. Call of Duty can't get a fraction of this quality. Its been a long time coming.

[URNightmare]

I agree. The game looks awesome!

[KnightRobby]

It looks...ERMAZING! Thankfully we aren't going back to the same old American city for an open world game!

[DigitalRaptor]

I completely agree about the quality, but to be fair there have been times where Square Enix completely put the game's production (more or less) on hold because they thought that FFXIII Lightning saga garbage was more important.

So ensuring quality is not the only reason it's taken so long. I think the next-gen transition has done wonders for it, so I can only thank the delays despite them being frustratingly bleak. Imagine if this was on PS3 planned, it wouldn't be the same game.

[C L O U D]

I just love the transition of going into proper gameplay as the camera pans out when he moves Noctis and everyone rolls out

[mysteryraz11]

uc4 and the order1886 have higher graphics so yea this running on a ps4 dev kit, deep down in the latest trailer had similarily detailed builds too

[PickAShoe]

dat frog

[Aleithian]

Best part of the whole demo.

[Aleithian]

Day 1.

Now redo FFVII to the same quality.

[Muzikguy]

Ummm... This game has been in the works for like 8 years! I don't want to wait that long or even longer for a true HD remake of FF7. It should've been out already IMO

[TheGamez100]

Dat wet-proof hair tho :D

[Rmx212]

We need to see some summoning big fan of those

[EdoubleD]

Those assists remind me of the Dual-tech from Chrono Trigger.
Also, the frog/toad? Could it possibly be hinting for returning status ailments? I wouldn't put it past them since there are some noticeable classic monsters returning (Goblins, Galura)

Awesome! Can't wait for Jump Festa for more news.

[Snookies12]

Hah, some toad or mini stat ailments would be great to see.

Yes though, I hope it's like Chrono Trigger where you can do double or triple tech combos.

[TekKing]

I miss the days when Final Fantasy was more than just a name slapped on a game.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

Umm what?. Care to elaborate?.

[jambola]

save yourself from the agony and just don't ask him. trust me

[one2thr]

And yet people claimed that there wasnt going to be a graphical leap similar to the PS2, to PS3 transition.

Another title to add to my list of day ones.

[Remy_Chaos]

I remember the same being said when the 360 & PS3 launched and each time every naysayer is proven wrong. The "hyped" three games of this year would've been so much better had they been current gen only instead of last gen as well.

[PCBOX]

Visuals are literaly top notch. Wow jaw dropping!! Luminous Engine representing its self realy gorgeous.

[elninels]

Will it be streamble in japan via shinra?

[Djinn]

SASUKE-KUN!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY PHAINURU PHANTAJI???

[TheNew1]

Looks amazing.

[TheNew1]

Graphical wise.

[sssb]

wow truly amazing models

[Locknuts]

Impressive visuals. I've never played a Final Fantasy before though. Wouldn't know where to start...

[TongkatAli]

Start with Final Fantasy 8, it's easier on the eyes for an old school FF, the card mini game is crack, amazing music and story line.

My cousin is a dude bro type of gamer and he thinks every FF is a joke except for that one, he loves that game with a passion and he never plays rpg, it must be something special if it can take a RPG hater and make him finish it with all the sidequests complete.

[Locknuts]

$12 on steam....hmm tempting.

[seporith]

you can try Final Fantasy X HD

[mochachino]

This is probably the most impressive looking game I've seen on the next-gen systems. It's so fluid.

[gamer7804]

Why is a girl on the cover pic? So far all gameplay footage is the dudes that I've seen anywhere. Hopefully the actusal game balances out the party of plyable chars

[GreenRanger]

Stop saying "glorious 1080p".

[seporith]

Wow this looks amazing. Now i just wish that they would make a game that looks like this and plays like a real Final Fantasy rpg-game.

[inbetweener]

Looks awesome. Now give me the option to change the main character's appearance so he doesn't look like he works at a host club and I am in.

[Pintheshadows]

It reminds me of Crisis Core which I really really enjoyed.

[Idree]

To think i bought 2 console to play this baby? xD

The Playstation 3 & later the PS4, definitely a system seller :P

Buying this day 1, its worth the 9 year wait :D

[Gore-Content]

The video is not really in HD. But I'm intrigued nonetheless.

[Avalanche]

looks amazing, but i can't stand that its not traditional turn base.

I'm done with FF until it goes back.

[Zizi]

Square Enix has made up its mind by crafting this real-time action RPG, just like WRPG. This will appeal mass audience if it is great.

I fancy both gameplay and graphics, not just the graphics. :)

[RedstonerMC]

Stupid youtube compression just does not do this game justice

[KakashiHotake]

The character with the blond hair looks a lot like Cloud.

[urwifeminder]

Never played one of these games seen people play and thought this is not for me don't think I will start now I enjoy the movies though.

[imran911]

I am surprised to the amount of ignorant comments on this forum. I created an account just to inform these FINAL FANTASY VII AND OLD SCHOOL COVENANT fans that FINAL FANTASY XV has been in development since 2006. You can search for the 2006 trailer, 2011, 2013 and finally the 2014 trailers of the game and compare them all on how it evolved. If you at the 2006 trailer it is clearly not going to be "TURN BASED" and had "OPEN WORLD" all over it. Tetsuya even confirmed that airships and chocobos are in the game which are coming to the DEMO THIS MARCH. The goal of this game is to be as close as possible to ADVENT CHILDREN with a solid story line and good combat system. People are complaining like how microsoft jumped to 8 then to 9 when both OS are clearly superior than 7.

[clouds5]

What i would give for a final fantasy that has the same quality of story and characters like ff6 or ff7 and a fine tuned version of the materia or job system with ATB combat and these graphics. Imagine you get the air ship and can really fly around an open world etc....

I won't judge this game until I've played it which will be in a looooong time (pc+wii u gamer atm) but it just doesn't look like a final fantasy.

[gamer7804]

SE is bringing more games to other platforms, i wonder if they are moving to more of a simultaneous release between consoles and pc. Hopefully they don't wait as long as they did with FXIII series

[mogwaii]

Pissing down rain not one drop hitting the characters :/

[ArnoDorian]

Wat no english subtitles :/

[DJ]

I always wondered if they could turn advent children's visual style and combat into real FF game. I'm so glad SquareEnix pushed to make it happen.

Took 5 more years than expected, but hey. That's the price of progress.

This looks great!

[starcatcher]

Please play like kingdom hearts or crisis core! :3
I like the realistic approach (with real time combat I mean.)
