This isn't just a bunch of untextured places and half-finished geometry, it's an almost completed map. There are entire detailed cities and everything. It's like a whole half of the game was cut and left out of the final release.
Absolutely heartbreaking to see what could have been. They just needed more time.
They should've delayed it for a year instead of those two months
Nathan Murphy
because delaying for 10 years wasn't enough I see
Nolan Russell
It's not the game you were expecting 10 years ago user. Versus 13 was canceled. This is FFXV

Robert Watson
Mt dad works for Final Fantasy and he says that's going to be implemented in DLC.
Daniel Phillips
>converted to DLC in summer 2017
quote me on it
Easton Cruz
>mfw square is still braging about shipments did NPD numbers showed how much it sold last year?
Xavier Hall
No wonder the story pacing was so irregular. The last few months was probably spent rushing to cut it down and adapt the story to the cuts in order to meet the deadline.
Caleb Harris
LOL. The content was ready for launch, they just decided to crop it from the game and sell it as dlc down the line.
Caleb James
>They just needed more time. To do what, cut even more content? fucking moron
Wyatt Nguyen
TABATAAAAAAAAA
Christopher Taylor
You know, while the DLC option sucks, I would be OK if they added it back via a expansion. Probably won't happen and it will be like MGSV, but still.
Aaron James
Every game takes at least 10 years to make.
Juan Stewart
Most likely, the Prompto DLC probably takes palce in the snow area
Samuel Myers
Content was not cut you fucking retard. It is for the very obvious upcoming DLCs.
William Price
It was Get over it
Jackson Davis
ON DISC DLC
Mason Turner
What's a better term? Nickel and diming? Scumbag shit? Cunty behavior?
Landon Fisher
Prompto DLC will take place in chapter 13 ^:)
Isaac Davis
Even Undertale?
David Sanchez
Is this part of the MGSV ARG?
Jaxon Howard
Yes
Colton Miller
It's like poetry
Jaxson Hall
Just when i thought this trash couldn't get even worse. >on disc DLC
Justin Bennett
Is this shit not just the terrain you see outside the windows of the train journey?
Camden Davis
Far out, that altissa area where all the NPCs faces are screwed up like Ignis's. What the fuck happened.
Michael Watson
I look forward to pick the game up once they fix the shit levels and add everything they wanted to
Samuel Reyes
There NEEDS to be a director's cut of this.
Isaac Robinson
It is, but from my understanding you were supposed to get off and be able to explore the land around you at every station. But they never had the chance to add that stuff in, I would imagine that there would be story related quests around the land as well
John Adams
>snow Damn
Blake Cooper
This map has a lot more assets than what you can actually see through the window. Plus the fact that it has actual colliders that allow the character to walk on the area rather than fall through the floor is pretty suspicious. You don't take the time to code this shit for assets that aren't meant to be explored.
Logan Allen
this is why i haven't bought the game yet. i know a goty/complete edition is gonna come out eventually.
Maybe in the early parts when they may have originally been designing out a continent like the first one but after that early portion it is largely barren and broken if you go too far off the track or look at areas you wouldn't see from the train.
It looks like maybe the train journey idea was added later when they abandoned making a whole new continent as in the early area it looks like the railway was just slapped on in parts and doesn't belong on what was originally been done.
The fact you can walk on it either way isn't a mystery as it would require less work to just make a backdrop using the existing tools to create terrain that automatically includes all the collusion and shit than making something new that doesn't. This is usually the case in every game when you exploit an OOB glitch all of the game engine shit still applies it is not a new rule set.
The game was really made in about 3-4 years. It was almost entirely rebuilt when they switched directors.
Logan Butler
Less than 3 years according to the dev that was on Sup Forums
Nicholas Martinez
PLUMPTO
Hudson Davis
Datamining the PC version is going to be very depressing
Mason Phillips
>FROM FOX TWO PHANTOMS WERE BORN
Nathan Brown
Looks like a bunch of empty shit that could be made in a day.
Ryan Nelson
>XV Noctis is actually Venom Noctis >Versus gets re-revealed this year starring the real Noctis
Ryder Gonzalez
They couldn't, contractural obligations. FFXV had to come out before the end of 2016.
Nolan Clark
It's probably halfway done on-disc DLC, any missing textures/buildings would be added in the DLC download. Might even be related to that multiplayer shit they've been hinting at.
Camden Diaz
I call it the Squeenix treatment. You cover all your bases that way.
Caleb Edwards
Where are there "entire detailed cities" (rough time stamp pls)
Alexander Watson
No.
Isaiah Ortiz
Most likely it's going to be the deleted dungeon in Tennebrae, the Cartanica area and Niflheim maps and Ardyn's final form. All of these are still in the game.
Jayden Bennett
It's probably just pre-loaded resources for the DLC campaign or something. They're working on copying out some repetitive quests to fill it up to sell it to you
Carson Foster
Are there pics of Ardyn's final form?
Gabriel Butler
No, just descriptions from the artist and size estimates from a hacker. Roberto Ferrari says it's a massive winged skeleton based on the royal family coat of arms, the hacker says its model is bigger than Titan and loads in the skies above the palace but he couldn't get the skin to load so he doesn't know what it looks like.
Colton Hill
Isnt that what we got? All this stuff was cut out by the director
Aaron Howard
>Ardyn's final form I was surprised that he didn't have one >final boss time >he's probably going to go full Sephiroth and transform >instead he just goes super saiyan after a fairly mediocre couple of minutes teleporting around the arena >both battles don't really rely on planning/skills/rpg shit and your team isn't there at least you had your team with you for Ifrit and he looked way cooler then Ardyn but Ifrit was also a pansy that died in seconds and did no damage with fire resistance up
Xavier Allen
>if I max out fire resistance then the god of fire is a massive pussy who can't hit me worth half a damn Well yeah
Austin Campbell
>more big empty areas to run around in
Who cares
Sebastian Johnson
Me
Christian Morgan
It would be funny, if Tabata's long term plans come to fruition, if release XV and updated XV are very different games.
Because seriously, if you don't take the time to fiddle with sidequests, the game lasts about 7 or 10 hours.
Wyatt Price
Yeah, it's like the graphics got much worse in that area.
Ryan Hernandez
Any videos or pictures of this?
Isaac Hill
It's just badly rendered generic NPCs. >7-10 hours At least double of that, and that's if you rush past absolutely every piece of side content and beat every boss without difficulty and huge combo chains to rack up damage.
Grayson James
They had four fucking years of full development time. Four years with a dedicated 100+ crew, a dedicated engine hand-made for the game and it still looks worse than AA open-world games. Hell I just played Mad Max and for a fraction of the budget, that game looks so much better and runs 60 fps on PC no matter what GPU you're running.
How fucking incompetent is SE? While every other Jap dev is screaming for the smallest resources to make a game, SE throws all those millions away, completely pissing it away on useless CGI movies and animes and constant rewrites nobody asked for because Tabata wanted his own fanfic.
William Bennett
if you think about it, two cut areas Are part of the implication of Nomura's original idea of three parts
that being Nippleheim and Post time skip
Elijah Bell
Nah mate. Skip cutscenes and you're golden. Chapters 9-15 can be done in 4 hours if you just rush to the boss and skip all cutscenes.
Jaxon Collins
Tabatabatabatabata
Leo Moore
I blame this game's load times on inaccessible areas at this point.
Ian Kelly
This sounds like something that will end up as DLC. They have most of the data in the game already, it's just going to be NPCs and quests and shit that will get added.
Joshua Taylor
Those are all scenery for the train ride, it looks pretty low res up close.
Jayden Perry
>Rush to boss fights >Skip cutscenes >Come to Sup Forums and whine about the game not making sense It is the way of the true gamer

Kids don't know how development works seems like a good one.
Elijah King
i was thinking about getting this game but i have never played a final fantasy before. Also how is the combat?
Angel Edwards
Final Fantasy is an anthology. None of the games are directly related to each other.
Lucas Rodriguez
bad
Isaac Powell
that's the DLC area, faggot
Aaron Bell
Good place to start since the combat isn't a relic of the fucking 90's, don't listen to anyone here but me because they're a bunch of middleaged neckbearded neets that hate & REEE over change even if it's good change.
Oliver White
That pasta is cute but they had less than 3 years.
Nomura was still in charge in 2013.
Isaiah Adams
>Sup Forums defends this heap of shit
Nathaniel Green
Kill yourself XV-kun
Play FFIX instead. It's a geniune JRPG and not a GTA wannabe with a JPOP party.
Charles Cox
>don't listen to anyone here but me no
Benjamin Wood
>pasta It's not a pasta you cocksucking SE shill. And Nomura was there in 2013, so what they didn't work on the game then? What the fuck retarded shit is that? Tabata has been on as co-director for four years. This is his mess. And he deserves a proper punishment for his massive blunder.
Ayden Kelly
Game is good. Combat is good. Buy it now or buy it when the dlc releases. If you don't wanna start with XV then X is pretty easy and is good for new players.
Dylan Morris
Did you expect that to be better?
Eli Hernandez
>FFIX spot the furry

I doubt xv-kun would post right now considering he was already banned twice today

Blake Diaz
>Defends FFXV >is a /lgbt/ Neofagger >???
Daniel Gomez
Good, but what you probably wanted to ask is what is the combat like. Can you give us examples of combat you like for a frame of reference?
William Wright
>half of these are locked to train segment and we only watch >the mountain range, the Savannah and snow town are beautiful compared to Lucis >these aren't even fully loaded areas, most are due to infinite loading screen outside of plot like tenebrae and the snow track ones which had stations and buildings rendered >one is locked to worst boy's DLC Why not just rape me?
Dominic Morris
>has half of NSYNC and gay bara party >he thinks it's not gay as fuck How is /lgbt/?
Cooper Russell

Noah Torres
i like the combat systems of dark souls/bloodborne ,god of war ,ninja gaiden and furi
Gavin Jones
B-but you just h-hold circle to win!
Liam Smith
This game made me stop caring about video games. It also killed a part of my inner child. Life became a little less bright after playing this travesty. Every year the world becomes more bleak due to further disillusionment. It's all about the money.
