This shot stood out to me. There is literally nothing in the background and it just looks like Shiva is in a beta room.

Not hope just speculation based on the details😂
FFVIIR was outsourced initially because they had no team to build the game and then brought back into internal development while the team was being built. I think that why they stuck conservatively to just Midgar.
For this game they have been recruiting for a while. Development has probably been ok. It is not surprising to hope the game gets release late 2021 or early 2022.
I'm expecting the release sequence to be like this.
FFVIIR for Xbox and PC
XIV Expansion/Next gen versions
XVI for PS5
Athia
FFVII-2
Yeah this is where I'm at. As well as thinking the game is at least 12 months away, maybe even 24 months, so visual quality could change a heck of a lot. Particularly lighting, which is absurdly flat at the moment.
Most importantly for a first look, years ahead of release, the story and dialogue is sounding fantastic. That's the part that needs to be great early on in an RPG's development.
Either this game's environments are just extremely rudimentary, or it isn't coming out for a long time.
I want nothing more than an Ascian optional super boss. That's all we need to have this tie into XIV.Can't wait for everything to go to shit at the end of this, only for the kid to be saved by a man in white robes and given these clothes
I thought they did say it's a new engine made for FFXIV. As stated in the links.
"The update requires an all new client, currently available for free download for all purchasers of 1.0. It uses a different graphics engine, based on a branch of Square's Luminous technology and drastically redesigns the game world map for ease of use and play and boasts a different server structure which allows for more rapid player action; the new engine is also better optimized for both lower end PCs and the PlayStation 3."
https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV
"A Realm Reborn and Heavensward are operating on the game engine which was specially built for FFXIV," he observes. "For an MMORPG, it's necessary to render as many characters as possible simultaneously. Also, being a title from the Final Fantasy series, FFXIV is expected to meet the quality of the franchise. In order to materialise these two goals, the exclusive game engine was built."

Indeed. Feels like Sony got the bad end of the exclusivity deal here, lol.
Maybe SE bundled this along Athia and FF7R to get more cash out of Sony, haha.
In a way, I'm relieved? FF7R still seems like their main thing, and XVI, as it looks now, seems like something they're pushing out just to remind people they haven't stopped making new FFs? I'd believe it if you told me it was a side story prologue of some sorts to FFXV.
So what engine are they using? Maybe it's the art style but I found the character models in FF VII Remake and XV more impressive. The gameplay looks fun but everything else was underwhelming.
I'm feeling a November 2021 pushed to March 2022 for COVID-19.
Graphics do not make a good game.
Good god these takes.
Good god these takes.
Did you miss the brown desert??? And also how the angle of the shot keeps it low in the background with the sky being more dominant. Jesus. I can't with era sometimes.
Yeah if I have to be honest with myself I'm very disappointed by the complete lack of color and I kind of agree with all the "generic" complaints being thrown around.
it's footage from the beginning of the game, obviously, but it doesn't change the fact that it all looked generic. I really hope the game has lots of imaginative, colorful, and fantastic environments because that's one of the reasons why I play this series.
Still a Day 1 purchase
Even though I am really concerned by the director of The Last fucking Remnant directing this

So? Assassin's Creed Origins is just a desert and if you take your eagle up high you're gonna get more detail and environments than we got there. Or let's say XV's first section of Leide, where it's also just a desert, whenever you get a summon POV you get a good look of the entire environment and it's not literally just a wasteland that looks like the background to a Tony Hawk Create a Park mode.
But it just sounds like you can't handle people criticizing this game for some reason.
Tonally super loving it, but it's pretty clear this is cross-gen right? The protagonist looks terrible btw, the fuck.
I feel the exact opposite. I despise hype trailers that promise empty lies with pretty cgi. Save that cgi trailer for when the game is actually confirmed to exist and be playable first. I like every FF, but it's absolutely true that Square Enix's obsession with pretty graphics hampered their games and their development process. Before FFVII came out with its prerendered cutscenes there were other FF games that weren't marketed as the cutting edge of tech.
This fandom has been conditioned to want and expect pretty sparkles and the idea of a game in trailer form, holding onto the head canons they built in their minds for years until at last the actual gameplay trailer is released, nothing like the concepts they thought it would have, and they are finally forced to realize it, the promise and the idea of the game promised to them by those trailers, was all a fantasy in their heads born from target renders that the dev team couldn't deliver on.
this looks like testing for sure unless she's in heaven or something. Looks amazing though... the model is even better than XV's.
I hope we have...
Delita/ Rosencrantz main character who dislikes "people who were born with a silver spoon in his mouth".
Have you ever played FFXIV? You are in for a world of excitement. Naoki Yoshida's team creates the best character arcs and locations are incredibly beautiful.
Yes
calm down
the colors are dull and muted IMO Edit: actually not IMO, it quite obviously was not a colorful trailer
the game is still Day 1 for me but the art direction of what was shown in the trailer personally really did disappoint me if I have to be honest with myself, and yes I think the shots of Shiva looked like shit and her design is bad/generic

Additionally, the World building and Lore in those games are really good. Ishgard is an excellent example.
ehh it's a better designed Shiva than XV's skimpy outfit but the detail in XV's is a lot better.
What I'm getting at is that this one is not gonna be a showcase and so at this point I'm more interested in the story and characters (honestly, gameplay wise I'm expecting the same that I got out of XV/VIIR).
The cycle begins a new:
1. Announcement trailer released showing scenes/assets that are still in development
2. People say the game looks like shit
3. We see the same scenes close to release date that have clearly been worked on further DUE TO THE NATURE OF VIDEO GAME DEVELOPMENT
4. Game releases and looks phenomenal
The trailer is running on an emulation of PS5 on PC ffs. The game is clearly still in early development. This is not representative of how the final product will look. Enjoy the fact the game has been announced.

indeed. It is super fantastic. I have memories of every single location in FFXIV after ARR.
Why are you so pressed at every VALID complaint in here??????????
Specifically the major characters too, imo the rest of the NPCs are varying levels of derpiness. But you spend 80% of the time looking at Cloud & Co. anyway.
As expected but good to get confirmation. Honestly, having the heavensward team on this is almost a seal of confidence.
Heavensward/Tactics ogre/Vagrant story
I'm totally fine if the game was influenced from any of those.
So true.
I recall FFXV announcement and gameplay in 2013 and FFVII Remake first gameplay announcement were somewhat rough.
FF7 Remake was shot like a movie. They slapped lighting in front of the model's faces at all time during cutscenes, which is why it looks so good. FFXVI doesn't seem to do that
Also FF shot itself in the foot seeking cutting edge graphics for more than a decade. The FFXIV team know this more than anyone. Art Direction >>>>>>>
