How does this have 100k views All I did was fight it for the first time, hit the share button on PS4, and uploaded the last 15 minutes to TH-cam This was back when I had only about 20 hours of game time in the demo. I'm now at over 50. I guess I should consider some kind of series to do once the game actually comes out. Either that or I'll do a rematch against this guy.
Noraa Rendrag I'm still waiting for the event they are holding at the end of march to see what else has changed since they released this demo. Sure I might be biased for being such a huge fan, but objectively this game absolutely feels "next gen" Final Fantasy has always been one step ahead in the graphics department, but the characters, world, and gameplay are all just stunning to look at. I've spent at least a few hours just walking around the demo to admire how much detail is in even the little things. As for the gameplay, It reminds me a lot of FFXII where you have a large explorable area to run around in with secrets and side quests hidden everywhere. You can choose exactly which enemies you want to engage, and fleeing is 100% under your control (no random encounters is so much better). The action battle system is incredibly fun to mess around with (especially with the evade mechanics), and I can only imagine how much more intricate Armiger will be once you can collect all 12 (13?) swords for new abilities. The few things I don't like so far are the camera issues, weird battle limitations, and the somewhat pointless feel of the special sword attacks. Though I dismiss most of it simply because I assume it will be polished in the full game. Only thing I can think of that would disappoint me is if this Duscae area is the only big area in the game. I know that you will be able to jump out of the car alongside the road at any point to explore, but I really want a world map the size of FFXII with large, memorable town/city hubs. The game should have a ton of content, and according to a recent developer interview, they want the ending "to make you cry". People might complain that it isn't a proper Final Fantasy game, but to me this is the Final Fantasy game I have always wanted.
***** Well, shouldn't worry about that.. The world of FFXV is expected to be at least 4 times of Skyrim world or 8 times of GTAV world. That's gigantic. And the cities itself will be very huge that the developer said that they themselves sometimes are lost when trying to explore the city.
all this makes me think of is imagine when the game comes out and you find the true superboss of the game and how long that would take and how intense it will be. every final Fantasy has one and they are scary even when your well prepared >.
+Shawn Smith square said that this game will get the hardest final boss ever made in ff. (if you think about it can be like kefka you know multiple forms and powerfull well.... kefka wasnt that hard but it had several forms)
I also wondered why I was nervous about fighting this thing. Now I know that fear was justified. This thing makes Deadeye look like a lone sabertusk in comparison.
What's hilarious about this is although I have fun playing this demo... no matter what anyone "hopes" for as far as improving the gameplay in FFXV, the action-base combat will always have major flaws with the AI not responding and especially if you cannot switch and control characters on the fly.... And I say this because of all the comments made under this lol the hopefuls claiming that when released it will be flawless. Hopefuls better pray they are right because if this fails, FFVII Remake is going to put SE out of business.
Not really.. They have the Kingdom Hearts series to fall on if anything happens. Although there are similarities in the gameplay, there are noticeable differences. I have hope in SE :)
+nastycanadian1975 to be honest this demo came out way too early. square progress trailer showed that the ai was 50% complete when this demo came out. 50%...
don't get me wrong here I support SE in almost everything they do and will purchase any SE game. The thing that worries me is that they changed the original gameplay from vs XIII which was amazing, to this realistic... and then went and gave FFVII remake - vs XIII gameplay ( which will work wonderfully ) I just hope that FFXV lives up to all the hype because even still the demo shows "somewhat" of what SE has in store and so far it's ok. My hopes and prayers are with SE for a successful release. xD
Ff13 gameplay was bad literally the game do everything instead of you you only have to change paradigms . When i played it i made it harder xd ( only played sazh which isnt that bad but really hard but atleast i love the character)
+The Potato of Fire I really hope that a varied combat style will be more effective than just spamming the same attack over and over (see my newest video for an example of what I'm talking about) Though with the VII remake coming we will see an HD omnislash before long haha
I wish there was a adittional leveling system for character customization outside of the combo customization. Some Gear, or rather accessory, wouldn't hurt either.
+XrosBlader821 There will be a full party cosutmization but if you want more information use yt search and type in: ffXV progression trailer. you can see the new menu system new weapons new characters,new magic etc
Le gameplay a l'air mieux que ce que je pensais, surtout que l'on a pas de magie a disposition et les armes et compétences sont limités. MAIS. Ce n'est qu'une démo mais je me demande si tu peux vraiment t'attacher a 3 émo blaireau qui ne font que mourir, des personnages que tu ne controle pas et qui ne serve a rien a part alimenter le sénario, je ne sais pas si ca va fonctionner. Ensuite le patherne du BAM est plutot limité il a 2 ou 3 attaques. Le joueur esquie, se soigne, va se regen derriere le rocher il repart taper etc... Alors je pense que la version final ne ressemblera pas a ca mais ca fait un peu peur..
It becomes easy when you get used to your surrounding. Also, this is just a player spamming the same moves over and over again. He's not thinking the of fashioned statement..... Anyways, while it IS a bit complex, you get used to it quickly, as well as become Used to your surrounding area, and taking advantage of fighting as a team.
James Closs It's possible before then, you just need some more time. Using the summon to knock it down was something I only found out about after I made this. I was already 99 before 2.0 though, so I wasn't able to try and beat it at a lower level.
+Shayz pssssst~ "The bigger they are, the harder the fall" You can target their legs to topple them over... Positioning your ally (they follow you close and attack as they go if they can) near their two legs will eventually be enough to trip it. Saves you from using a lot of mp, and resting up. Moderation at best xP!
Ryan Hyuga They don't stay down as long as they do in other games, and you can't dodge while warp attacking in armiger so the stomps will kill you if you spam the legs I wanted to show that it's possible to take these guys down in roughly 15 minutes without the summon...but taking the time to knock it down by focusing the legs is too long of a process for the short phase that you get extra damage from while knocked down. Because the mp gauge takes longer to build up at 99, attacking to build your mp back to full is also inefficient...so by running to cover I could get back to the action without a lot of downtime. Honestly the encounter doesn't seem finished, and I hope that there will be a counter action sequence that can be triggered at least. A combo attack with the rest of the members would also be amazing as a way to knock it down
Adhesive Boi They greatly improved the targeting for fighting anything at your level, but it still needs to be adjusted for large targets. What can you do, it's a pre-alpha demo
Has that dodge ability been changed to dodge roll or are the two independent?...because i really like the style and effects of dodge...it looked really cool
+Kartikey Sharma There are 3 different dodges in 2.0 -Manual Dodge/Roll (No cost) -Auto dodge/Holding the dodge button (costs more MP the longer you hold the button, costs 0mp and slows down time if you hit the button right before you take damage) -Knightsguard (press the dodge button after you take damage to replenish the HP you just lost as long as you time it right) The manual dodge used to cost 10mp and had effects, but they wanted to differentiate between the two so it was changed to a roll. In this specific fight I wasn't sure of how I should make use of the dodges most effectively (does too much damage to make use of knightsguard, and holding the guard button wastes mp, meaning I can't use armiger right away)
+Shayz There's also the OP Broken Dodge where instead of holding he attack button you constantly tap it while holding the dodge button it perfeorms the "Perfect Dodge' almost all the time. I've been hit a few times but its possible to go through fghts flawlessly unless you fight this damn dinosaur lol.
I really hope this isn't what super bosses in this FF is gonna be like, just slams it's head around. It'd be nice for them to do spell casting or have crazy epic moves.
I think at the time of recording they said they were 60% done with creatures, and this one wasn't finalized. Not to mention this isn't even a boss, just a large creature you could fight at the end of a side quest as a challenge
+Shayz fair enough. I want to be hyped for this game, I'm just worried when I see stuff like this that'll it'll be a repeat of ff13... I should wait to play this game before judging it
Is Duscae even available any more? I've played the Platinum Demo a while and it was neat enough to get me interested in the game, but this looks like it's closer to what the actual game is gonna be instead of Platinum's approach of being mostly a tech demo. I can't seem to find it on PSN store.
Unfortunately I think the codes expired in March, and you could get a code from the day one edition of FF Type 0 The battle system here is not representative of the final game either, so it was more of a reward for players who were following FFXV since the beginning That said, there's a good chance they will put out one final demo the month before release as they wanted to take another pass at the control scheme.
i just bought a new edition of final fantasy type 0 last week and used the "expired code" they still work! the codes never expired. i'm playing it now in oct 2016 =)
You can, it just simply knocks the guy down instead of flat out killing it. The problem being that I don't think they were 100% finished with this at the time because that knocked down state doesn't really let you do much.
Actually, the knock down is a thing in this game for larger beasts if you deal enough damage to them or their legs The same sort of animation plays for the other smaller creatures, just not as long. In FFXIII, each leg had a health bar and you sinply had to stagger one for it to kneel down so you could get a good 30 seconds of raw damage in
+thefilght EH not really after half hour u can use it perfectly. the only problem the full game will come with magics. (without menu how should i change between magics XD )
+Yago Kain It'll probably be just like the skills. You set a short list of magics you can use in combat and switch through them just like the weapon skills.
that would be cool and think about it you can change your party members magics too that would be frickin awesome (tabata stated that you can give them orders then maybe you can give them items,magic etc...)
As far as I'm aware the party members have now been given separate techniques that you can activate every so often. When you do, the camera pans over behind that character to preform the action, then returns back to Noctis. Because Noctis is the leader, and the only one to have the ability to control phantom swords, I believe that you won't be able to directly control the other party members. I see a few reasons for this decision, and ultimately agree that it was the best way to go about it. -Having multiple control/play styles for each character in an active battle system would get confusing (this isn't Dragon Age) -The newest combat sequences released yesterday make the battle system feel more like your party is one large unit and not just 3 AI following you like it was in the demo. -There will still be a skill tree for each character to decide what kind of role you want them to have in battle. I assume you will also be able to upgrade their weapons, or at least change out their techniques to compliment your own loadout. With that said, the battle system is looking great and has vastly improved from the demo. You can find more info in the most recent Active Time Report
+victorgod100 This one is no longer available as it is an outdated version of the game. The codes expired at the end of March I believe. It was obtainable by those who bought the day one edition of FF Type-0 HD
There's not a ton more...but the targeting is much better, the fps is smoother, and the dodge mechanic was changed a bit. There's some new combos and stuff, but they aren't impressive enough for how much work they require. New animations for camping, attacks, and dodging...but again nothing major. Overall it's a huge improvement even if not a ton was added.
His attacks were doing approximately 120% of my entire health bar So it would completely tale out my "overshield" and then bleed me for 20% as my health bar got lower though it would take out even more because the "overshield" was being shrunk by the permanent damage. if my health bar was say, 100 points, having half of a health bar with a full overshield would be about 50 + 75 (cause the hp bar has some resistance) An attack at about 30-40% of my health, regardless of whether I had the "overshield" up would most certainly kill me in one shot, forcing a game over. This was also at level 99, you would probably have to use more potions at a lower level as Noct's health increases by about 1000 through leveling.
You had to get a code for the demo from a day-one edition of FF Type-0. 2.0 was a free upgrade to the original demo. Unfortunately, I heard the codes for the Duscae demo expired at the end of March... so even if you were to find a rare unopened copy of the game the code probably won't work :/
TheMazzken There's a demo that came with FF type-0 Day One edition As you can probably guess, it only came in the physical copies sold the day of release. Not sure if there are any codes left that can be redeemed... I was lucky and re-sold the game for $45 a few days later on Glyde So basically I paid $60 for a demo, but got a $45 rebate XD
TheMazzken As someone who has been following this game since I first heard about it on the FFXII bonus disk back in 2006...$60 was a steal just to be able to play this game after so many years. The fact that the demo has gotten an update blows my mind. You know the game is big when they have to update the demo version XD And seeing as we are still probably at least 6+ months out, this was huge for me.
FF1-6 were 2D, 7-9 were PS1, 10 and 12 were PS2, 13 series was PS3, and 15 is for the PS4. (11 and 14 are MMOs) 15 will release sometime in 2016 when it is ready. Because it has been in development for almost 10 years now, they released a demo version that is playable for the dedicated players (like me) who have been following this game and bought type-0 on day 1. Originally, 13, Type-0, and 15 were all going to be part of the same thing, which is why the demo code came with Type-0. Main reasoning why the game is taking so long is that they had to completely rewrite the story so that they didn't make the same mistake as the 13 series that was split into multiple games. Back when it was called "13 versus", they had a different direction planned.
+billyblackburn87 Yes. When you warp to it you automatically land on top of it. Most of the rocks in the demo are climbable except for the biggest ones that act as more of "barriers" to the playspace than actually restricting you from getting on top of them. I do it at 3:24
+Alberto5501 You will need the download code that comes with FF Type 0 Day-1 edition If you have that it should automatically update to 2.0 There is no other way to play the demo as of right now unfortunately :/
+Alberto5501 hey man if your game still hasn't updated, try starting a new game in the demo. I had to do that since after the patch it didn't do anything new. After I started a new game though all the new 2.0 stuff worked just fine.
th-cam.com/video/60nWEuj2wAI/w-d-xo.html That was two years ago, and has so much more of the combat system than what they let us do in the demo. A few of these older videos did in fact show the ability to control other party members. A recent video they released on their progress so far in this game said that the current combat system is only 70% complete, with monster interaction only being around 60% done. Take that as you will
Lol I know now I beat it a while ago tho it was kind of a pain because it took a long time..and even tho I tried a lot of ways for stylish moves it was very repetitive xD
The level requirements and gains were very linear in the demo. Most FF games/RPG games in general have exponential requirements, so will the full game.
+JeffRB Any damage taken past your primary HP is lost as "permanent" damage, as primary HP is able to be regenerated. It would be like getting beaten up vs having your bones broken. This idea was introduced in FFXII as the condition "virus", where damage dealt to the characters would simply reduced their total HP instead of subtracting from it. If you didn't remove the condition your HP would reduce to 1/1, making healing impossible. In FFXIII-2 it was changed to "wound damage", where it could only be healed by wound potions. Once your HP is completely gone, you get a game over because you are unable to switch to a different character in this demo. The period when you have 0 primary HP is also the only way to activate the summon in the demo, so they made it tough to die in that state for newer players trying out the demo.
FFXV has two bars of HP. The primary one determines if you are able to keep fighting, while the red one underneath limits your HP when you take damage over your primary. In other words, primary HP can regen slowly, but take too much damage and you end up with a permanent decrease. Potions are the only way to restore permanent damage. Occasionally Ignis uses cure on you, but it only restores the primary bar. Also, being at 0 HP lets you use the summon This was a mechanic in a few other FF games, but instead of two separate bars, the enemy attacks would do less damage, but have it drop your HP permanently.
Well when i wrote that i was talking about the begging of the fight but when i kept watching i saw that i was wrong so i thought i deleted the message.... guess u cant die in this game ........
+Mike The Gamer It's extremely unlikely it will work like this in the finished game. The demo was easy, but here's the thing about demos: the point isn't to be difficult.
wiseguy240 Winston I said, "companion AI". The other members of the party don't attempt to move out of the way when it rears its head to do the sweep attack.
+Crescendyr The AI is much better against normal enemies. Pretty sure this was just quickly thrown in as an optional battle, and I'm not exactly doing it properly either (as sort of a challenge really) What you would probably do in the main game is use the summon to knock it down, then use a chain attack or something to make use of the rest of your team. Currently, the AI just sees the main point of attack (legs) and goes after that. I didn't use a summon because I figured that would seem like cheating, but maybe I'll re-do this now that I know a bit more about how the battle works. Unfortunately there is no chain attacks with this monster, nor is there any counter/combo strikes you can do with your allies. I'm sure those things will be in the full game though.
Pretty boring way to fight a boss. Wouldn't be a problem, but it seems like the only way to approach this boss. Hopefully the final product looks more fun. I can tell from the DEMO that the game might run into some balance issues.
+14megasxlr Every other monster has a counter attack you can trigger, and unfortunately spamming the warp attack in armiger is the only reliable way to deal large amounts of damage quickly without that feature. Not only this but the demo only allows you to collect 4 different phantom swords, each granting their own unique ability. Only once you collected all 4 was the warp strike changed to the spinning blades. I'm guessing in the full game with 12 swords there will be even more combos and abilities that come with collecting all of them. Finally, we are only given single character physical attacks in the demo while trailers have shown off magic and combination attacks with all 4 characters when it comes to dealing with larger enemies. Just to put it in perspective, I tried many times to fight this guy in the most interesting way possible, but each time I ended up with 30-45 minutes of gameplay. Even at 99 it was taking forever to battle it out normally.
***** I know I know, this isn't the final product and all, im just a bit worried. I'm not saying fighting a super boss like this thing should be quick and easy, im just saying there's got to be more than one way doll out damage to powerful enemies than just spamming armiger, which from what you've said and from what i've seen from trailers, it seems like there will be. Now that I think about it, this kind of reminds me of fighting the Long Gui in FF 13-2. Took me about as long as it took you to kill this thing, but I think that battle had a much higher excitement value because of all the mechanics that were actually at play. Namely the stagger system. It lent a lot to gameplay and balance, so im hoping 14 will have something effectively the same.
Ideally I would like to see a way to knock it down without using a summon or without getting your team destroyed by its legs At that point there should be a target circle to start a chain attack with your allies at least. The stagger effect should also last longer than it does now to give me a reason to take advantage of that (or you know, actually do more than just give a higher percentage change of crits) Improvements to the dodge mechanics would be nice too, or even just weapons with stats that work better for a level 99 character. The MP gain for early levels works great when trying to fill up your MP bar. But at 175, it takes too long and puts you in a risky situation for way longer than you should be. (hiding behind cover to gain MP should really only work when you are completely out and get less effective the more MP you have) From what I've played, the demo didn't intend for anyone to grind to 99, and it definitely wasn't balanced around that either. In fact, they probably added this fight in as a last minute thing just for the dedicated fans to attempt, and even then it was based around using the summon a couple times to knock it down so you can attack it without your party being wiped I just figured that people wouldn't be interested in seeing me use a summon to take out 90% of its health doing it the "normal" way
This isn't exactly the most impressive gameplay, nor does it show off any of the combos or chain attacks (not possible in this build of the game against this enemy) I also kinda wanted to do it as fast as possible without using the summon, so that's why I don't care about my team and why I run back to that rock to refill my MP and health. Do realize that I have spent over 40 hours in the demo alone. This is just one monster, not even a boss, and not even the main part of the game...just a fun challenge. and that's just the demo we're talking about.
***** Fair enough. I was hoping that was the case. I really do want this game... and I would have purchased Type-0 for the demo, but I couldn't afford to blow $60 at the time. Of course, now that I can, the demo is no longer being offered with it. Being a die-hard fan of everything Versus XIII (now XV) since its announcement and not being afforded a chance to play the demo definitely fueled the bitterness of my previous comment, so I apologize. Thanks for taking the time to kindly elaborate on the video and respond to my frustrations.
I personally resold type-0 on Glyde for $45 the next day That was the only way I could afford this $60 demo, so I feel you on that one. The sheer amount of advertizing right now for this demo is also really dumb. It's one thing if the code shipped with every copy of Type-0, but only day one editions? Plain stupid.
***** Yes, it's very stupid indeed. I guess I'll just have to stay patient and watch some more vids of the demo until the game is finally released. Well anyway, enjoy it man, if you upload any more vids I'll be sure to check them out.
This is possibly my favorite FFXV gameplay video if you haven't seen it already: th-cam.com/video/60nWEuj2wAI/w-d-xo.html That was two years ago, and has so much more of the combat system than what they let us do in the demo. They even show off how magic might work in the flow of all the swordplay, which I'm most excited for.
10:45 love when ignis is like "one mistake could be our last" and then they all legit are knocked out in the following second
Haha he jinxed it
+Justin Reid shit that was funny haha
lol
The tone and atmosphere of this game felt far different than the duscae demo did. Very much so. It's like a different game really
13:33
...
...
YEAH.
FF15 looks so beautiful! can't wait to play the full game :D
How does this have 100k views
All I did was fight it for the first time, hit the share button on PS4, and uploaded the last 15 minutes to TH-cam
This was back when I had only about 20 hours of game time in the demo. I'm now at over 50.
I guess I should consider some kind of series to do once the game actually comes out. Either that or I'll do a rematch against this guy.
+Shayz It's ff 15 and your quality is high, dude. What did you expect? Lols
+Shayz just cool looking monster. BTW why 50 hrs for demo :D wait for full version dude
+Shayz What do you think of the game?
Noraa Rendrag
I'm still waiting for the event they are holding at the end of march to see what else has changed since they released this demo.
Sure I might be biased for being such a huge fan, but objectively this game absolutely feels "next gen"
Final Fantasy has always been one step ahead in the graphics department, but the characters, world, and gameplay are all just stunning to look at. I've spent at least a few hours just walking around the demo to admire how much detail is in even the little things.

+Shawn Smith square said that this game will get the hardest final boss ever made in ff. (if you think about it can be like kefka you know multiple forms and powerfull well.... kefka wasnt that hard but it had several forms)
+Yago Kain Yiazmat and Ozma combined. And the judges from ff12.
that would be AWESOME XD oh i cant wait to play this game
they should have a carving feature in it like MH.
The abrupt "YEAH!" broke the awkwardness
lol One look at that thing and my mind says : Do not attempt.
+lRedl lol one look and was like YOLO (had only been playing for 10 min)
I half expected Noctis to take out a carving knife at the end and start collecting body parts like in Monster Hunter... LOL
Can not wait for the games release its been a long time coming almost there.
I also wondered why I was nervous about fighting this thing. Now I know that fear was justified. This thing makes Deadeye look like a lone sabertusk in comparison.

"One mistake could be our last". SLAM..... dead. LOL

Game of the Year. Noctis the Dragonborn.
What's hilarious about this is although I have fun playing this demo... no matter what anyone "hopes" for as far as improving the gameplay in FFXV, the action-base combat will always have major flaws with the AI not responding and especially if you cannot switch and control characters on the fly....
And I say this because of all the comments made under this lol
the hopefuls claiming that when released it will be flawless.
Hopefuls better pray they are right because if this fails, FFVII Remake is going to put SE out of business.
Not really.. They have the Kingdom Hearts series to fall on if anything happens. Although there are similarities in the gameplay, there are noticeable differences. I have hope in SE :)
+Bradley Thunderhaven me too but really... let's "hope" for the best.
+nastycanadian1975 to be honest this demo came out way too early. square progress trailer showed that the ai was 50% complete when this demo came out. 50%...

My hopes and prayers are with SE for a successful release. xD
Ff13 gameplay was bad literally the game do everything instead of you you only have to change paradigms . When i played it i made it harder xd ( only played sazh which isnt that bad but really hard but atleast i love the character)
That "Yeah" at around 13:30
I love Noctis's Omnislash Version 6 (Note the sarcasm)
+The Potato of Fire
I really hope that a varied combat style will be more effective than just spamming the same attack over and over (see my newest video for an example of what I'm talking about)
Though with the VII remake coming we will see an HD omnislash before long haha
Combat does get rather repetitive with things like this, but the way the game is going, XV might turn out differently.
+Shayz Go check out the new combat footage from the latest Active Time Report :) It looks much better now!
damn.. the AI on the other characters are so bad that you might always end up soloing the boss...
+Steve San Agustin promto is the worst AI always dies first x_X
these unique monsters take quite a while to kill.
that is one hell of a beast
The background music is just like Kingdom Hearts soundtrack..
I wish there was a adittional leveling system for character customization outside of the combo customization. Some Gear, or rather accessory, wouldn't hurt either.
+XrosBlader821 the whole game is still being programmed. there might very well be more customization features
+XrosBlader821 There will be a full party cosutmization but if you want more information use yt search and type in: ffXV progression trailer. you can see the new menu system new weapons new characters,new magic etc

Ce n'est qu'une démo mais je me demande si tu peux vraiment t'attacher a 3 émo blaireau qui ne font que mourir, des personnages que tu ne controle pas et qui ne serve a rien a part alimenter le sénario, je ne sais pas si ca va fonctionner. Ensuite le patherne du BAM est plutot limité il a 2 ou 3 attaques. Le joueur esquie, se soigne, va se regen derriere le rocher il repart taper etc... Alors je pense que la version final ne ressemblera pas a ca mais ca fait un peu peur..
This story is how cloud came to be.
I didn't realize the battle mechanics were so complex. It must have taken them time and money to implement this type of thing.
It becomes easy when you get used to your surrounding.
Also, this is just a player spamming the same moves over and over again. He's not thinking the of fashioned statement.....
Anyways, while it IS a bit complex, you get used to it quickly, as well as become
Used to your surrounding area, and taking advantage of fighting as a team.
the AI for the other characters seems a bit under developed the more I watched and I see what you mean.
That's hardcore, yo. I ended up using Ramuh a lot as I lacked the patience to get up to 99.
James Closs
It's possible before then, you just need some more time.
Using the summon to knock it down was something I only found out about after I made this. I was already 99 before 2.0 though, so I wasn't able to try and beat it at a lower level.
+Shayz pssssst~
"The bigger they are, the harder the fall"
You can target their legs to topple them over... Positioning your ally (they follow you close and attack as they go if they can) near their two legs will eventually be enough to trip it. Saves you from using a lot of mp, and resting up.
Moderation at best xP!
Ryan Hyuga
They don't stay down as long as they do in other games, and you can't dodge while warp attacking in armiger so the stomps will kill you if you spam the legs
I wanted to show that it's possible to take these guys down in roughly 15 minutes without the summon...but taking the time to knock it down by focusing the legs is too long of a process for the short phase that you get extra damage from while knocked down.
Because the mp gauge takes longer to build up at 99, attacking to build your mp back to full is also inefficient...so by running to cover I could get back to the action without a lot of downtime.
Honestly the encounter doesn't seem finished, and I hope that there will be a counter action sequence that can be triggered at least. A combo attack with the rest of the members would also be amazing as a way to knock it down
Sticking target camera on large monsters like this is way too chaotic... one of the many things that Monster Hunter gets right.
Adhesive Boi
They greatly improved the targeting for fighting anything at your level, but it still needs to be adjusted for large targets.
What can you do, it's a pre-alpha demo
Oh, I don't mean to be pessimistic. It's still really fun
grinding max before the game is released? nice v-card you have there.
+Afro McTaco
2D is better anyways
I didn't know there were plans to port Monster Hunter to PS4.
Has that dodge ability been changed to dodge roll or are the two independent?...because i really like the style and effects of dodge...it looked really cool
+Kartikey Sharma
There are 3 different dodges in 2.0
-Manual Dodge/Roll (No cost)
-Auto dodge/Holding the dodge button (costs more MP the longer you hold the button, costs 0mp and slows down time if you hit the button right before you take damage)
-Knightsguard (press the dodge button after you take damage to replenish the HP you just lost as long as you time it right)
The manual dodge used to cost 10mp and had effects, but they wanted to differentiate between the two so it was changed to a roll.
In this specific fight I wasn't sure of how I should make use of the dodges most effectively (does too much damage to make use of knightsguard, and holding the guard button wastes mp, meaning I can't use armiger right away)
+Shayz There's also the OP Broken Dodge where instead of holding he attack button you constantly tap it while holding the dodge button it perfeorms the "Perfect Dodge' almost all the time. I've been hit a few times but its possible to go through fghts flawlessly unless you fight this damn dinosaur lol.
SOU FAN DO GAME MAS QUAL SENTIDO DE MATAR ESSE ANIMAL ? MAS GOSTEI DO GLAFICO
I really hope this isn't what super bosses in this FF is gonna be like, just slams it's head around. It'd be nice for them to do spell casting or have crazy epic moves.
I think at the time of recording they said they were 60% done with creatures, and this one wasn't finalized.
Not to mention this isn't even a boss, just a large creature you could fight at the end of a side quest as a challenge
+Shayz fair enough. I want to be hyped for this game, I'm just worried when I see stuff like this that'll it'll be a repeat of ff13... I should wait to play this game before judging it
Is Duscae even available any more? I've played the Platinum Demo a while and it was neat enough to get me interested in the game, but this looks like it's closer to what the actual game is gonna be instead of Platinum's approach of being mostly a tech demo. I can't seem to find it on PSN store.
Unfortunately I think the codes expired in March, and you could get a code from the day one edition of FF Type 0
The battle system here is not representative of the final game either, so it was more of a reward for players who were following FFXV since the beginning
That said, there's a good chance they will put out one final demo the month before release as they wanted to take another pass at the control scheme.
***** Ah, that's a shame. I'll hope for a new demo then, thanks for the info.
The codes still work, but you can't update to version 2.0.
i just bought a new edition of final fantasy type 0 last week and used the "expired code" they still work! the codes never expired. i'm playing it now in oct 2016 =)
this is the reason why we dont have NS new episode this week, sasuke WTF r u doing here XD ?
13:25 Where is Your God Now? Noct took that thing down by himself.
You can't even summon when you fight this guy I tried it!!
You can, it just simply knocks the guy down instead of flat out killing it.
The problem being that I don't think they were 100% finished with this at the time because that knocked down state doesn't really let you do much.
+Shayz they did the knock down thing probably to make sure you wouldn't abuse summons.
Actually, the knock down is a thing in this game for larger beasts if you deal enough damage to them or their legs
The same sort of animation plays for the other smaller creatures, just not as long.
In FFXIII, each leg had a health bar and you sinply had to stagger one for it to kneel down so you could get a good 30 seconds of raw damage in
this will take some getting used to omg...
+thefilght EH not really after half hour u can use it perfectly. the only problem the full game will come with magics. (without menu how should i change between magics XD )
+Yago Kain It'll probably be just like the skills. You set a short list of magics you can use in combat and switch through them just like the weapon skills.
that would be cool and think about it you can change your party members magics too that would be frickin awesome (tabata stated that you can give them orders then maybe you can give them items,magic etc...)
when this game comes out will you be able to play as other characters? like the one's in your team?
As far as I'm aware the party members have now been given separate techniques that you can activate every so often. When you do, the camera pans over behind that character to preform the action, then returns back to Noctis.
Because Noctis is the leader, and the only one to have the ability to control phantom swords, I believe that you won't be able to directly control the other party members.
I see a few reasons for this decision, and ultimately agree that it was the best way to go about it.
-Having multiple control/play styles for each character in an active battle system would get confusing (this isn't Dragon Age)
-The newest combat sequences released yesterday make the battle system feel more like your party is one large unit and not just 3 AI following you like it was in the demo.
-There will still be a skill tree for each character to decide what kind of role you want them to have in battle. I assume you will also be able to upgrade their weapons, or at least change out their techniques to compliment your own loadout.
With that said, the battle system is looking great and has vastly improved from the demo. You can find more info in the most recent Active Time Report
how can i get this demo ? i only play the ome that has little noctis
+victorgod100
This one is no longer available as it is an outdated version of the game. The codes expired at the end of March I believe.
It was obtainable by those who bought the day one edition of FF Type-0 HD
wot. You can do this now?! I must re-download. Is this the only thing you can do in the update?
There's not a ton more...but the targeting is much better, the fps is smoother, and the dodge mechanic was changed a bit.
There's some new combos and stuff, but they aren't impressive enough for how much work they require.
New animations for camping, attacks, and dodging...but again nothing major.
Overall it's a huge improvement even if not a ton was added.
how do you know whether to use a potion on yourself or runaway?
His attacks were doing approximately 120% of my entire health bar
So it would completely tale out my "overshield" and then bleed me for 20%
as my health bar got lower though it would take out even more because the "overshield" was being shrunk by the permanent damage.
if my health bar was say, 100 points, having half of a health bar with a full overshield would be about 50 + 75 (cause the hp bar has some resistance)
An attack at about 30-40% of my health, regardless of whether I had the "overshield" up would most certainly kill me in one shot, forcing a game over.
This was also at level 99, you would probably have to use more potions at a lower level as Noct's health increases by about 1000 through leveling.
Bro you killed Little Foot. :( Then you skinned him and made a multiple leather pants and jackets for you and your fashionable friends.
Hey Shayz I know it’s been a long time. I hope you are doing good.
Yep just living life
I mostly play Apex and FFXIV these days.
anyone getting adamntoise ff13 flash backs?
awsome :D
Catoblepas the ones in the water in the first duscae?
What a horrifyingly dizzying camera system.
Te camera system is actually really good in 2.0.
This guy would have got the ring !!! Don’t judge me
how do you get episode duscae 2.0
You had to get a code for the demo from a day-one edition of FF Type-0.
2.0 was a free upgrade to the original demo.
Unfortunately, I heard the codes for the Duscae demo expired at the end of March... so even if you were to find a rare unopened copy of the game the code probably won't work :/
i have actually found a copy of type o i have it actually i beat the demo it took me atleast 3 hours to beat with sidequest and regular quest *****
How did you? Is this game even released?
TheMazzken
There's a demo that came with FF type-0 Day One edition
As you can probably guess, it only came in the physical copies sold the day of release. Not sure if there are any codes left that can be redeemed...
I was lucky and re-sold the game for $45 a few days later on Glyde
So basically I paid $60 for a demo, but got a $45 rebate XD
***** Thanks for clarifying that up was freaking out how someone got a copy of this when i googled the released date is for 2016
TheMazzken
As someone who has been following this game since I first heard about it on the FFXII bonus disk back in 2006...$60 was a steal just to be able to play this game after so many years.
The fact that the demo has gotten an update blows my mind. You know the game is big when they have to update the demo version XD
And seeing as we are still probably at least 6+ months out, this was huge for me.
+TheMazzken yeah the release is 2016, this is demo
It's the demo you get with Type-0 HD
So is it out? Is it not? WHat the fuck is going on, so many final fantasies I have no idea which one is which.
FF1-6 were 2D, 7-9 were PS1, 10 and 12 were PS2, 13 series was PS3, and 15 is for the PS4. (11 and 14 are MMOs)
15 will release sometime in 2016 when it is ready. Because it has been in development for almost 10 years now, they released a demo version that is playable for the dedicated players (like me) who have been following this game and bought type-0 on day 1.
Originally, 13, Type-0, and 15 were all going to be part of the same thing, which is why the demo code came with Type-0.
Main reasoning why the game is taking so long is that they had to completely rewrite the story so that they didn't make the same mistake as the 13 series that was split into multiple games. Back when it was called "13 versus", they had a different direction planned.
Oh so there's a demo, alright that clears it up, thank you so much!
this a job for Cloud...
how many times you had to beat Deadeye to reach level 99?
Can you really do this on the demo on PS4
Can you climb on the rock?
+billyblackburn87
Yes. When you warp to it you automatically land on top of it. Most of the rocks in the demo are climbable except for the biggest ones that act as more of "barriers" to the playspace than actually restricting you from getting on top of them.
I do it at 3:24
Wonder if you can climb on mountains with gold chocobo :)
How do I get the 2.0v on the X1???
+Alberto5501
You will need the download code that comes with FF Type 0 Day-1 edition
If you have that it should automatically update to 2.0
There is no other way to play the demo as of right now unfortunately :/
+Shayz I've got the demo already. But I haven't seen that monster on the wild, only on the water
Keep stopping by the campsites.
Eventually there will be a mission you can go on with Prompto that will make it leave the water
+Shayz kay! Thanks!!!
+Alberto5501 hey man if your game still hasn't updated, try starting a new game in the demo. I had to do that since after the patch it didn't do anything new. After I started a new game though all the new 2.0 stuff worked just fine.
wut
u were level 99
y it still take u long to keel eet
they REEEALLY gotta make the AI not suck this much if you can't play as 'em
th-cam.com/video/60nWEuj2wAI/w-d-xo.html
That was two years ago, and has so much more of the combat system than what they let us do in the demo. A few of these older videos did in fact show the ability to control other party members.
A recent video they released on their progress so far in this game said that the current combat system is only 70% complete, with monster interaction only being around 60% done.
Take that as you will
Why the hell you didn't carve it's corps.... Oh wait, this is not monster hunter.
Wait can you do this with the type O demo?
+Lesly Santos thats the only way to play this :D
Lol I know now I beat it a while ago tho it was kind of a pain because it took a long time..and even tho I tried a lot of ways for stylish moves it was very repetitive xD
well without new weapons and skills + magic its not that good though i laughed so hard when i tryd to kill the mesmerize XD
Hahaha wow
final may cry fantasy.
Why though? :'(
Man the downgrade it had in the retail is almost sad.
So your characters level up quite fast.. Only 20 hours for max level
The level requirements and gains were very linear in the demo. Most FF games/RPG games in general have exponential requirements, so will the full game.
***** Ah right thanks for clearing that up
actual fucking mad man
A superboss and its not even the full game. :-)
Not an achievement? Not an easter egg? Not a loot worth 100k? Not a game crash? NOTHING!?!?!?!?
so i gues u cant die in this gwme??
guess** game***
you can the whole thing that happened was honestly some weird bugs but there are still game overs
+JeffRB
Any damage taken past your primary HP is lost as "permanent" damage, as primary HP is able to be regenerated.
It would be like getting beaten up vs having your bones broken.
This idea was introduced in FFXII as the condition "virus", where damage dealt to the characters would simply reduced their total HP instead of subtracting from it. If you didn't remove the condition your HP would reduce to 1/1, making healing impossible. In FFXIII-2 it was changed to "wound damage", where it could only be healed by wound potions.
Once your HP is completely gone, you get a game over because you are unable to switch to a different character in this demo. The period when you have 0 primary HP is also the only way to activate the summon in the demo, so they made it tough to die in that state for newer players trying out the demo.
i don't understand one simple thing,
why FFXV in open world looks worse then XenobladeX ?
i just cheese through it with ramuh
But you get no exp from killing it if you ise even one summon.
Are you immortal ? Why can you take a potion at "0hp" ?
FFXV has two bars of HP.
The primary one determines if you are able to keep fighting, while the red one underneath limits your HP when you take damage over your primary.
In other words, primary HP can regen slowly, but take too much damage and you end up with a permanent decrease.
Potions are the only way to restore permanent damage. Occasionally Ignis uses cure on you, but it only restores the primary bar.
Also, being at 0 HP lets you use the summon
This was a mechanic in a few other FF games, but instead of two separate bars, the enemy attacks would do less damage, but have it drop your HP permanently.
is this the demo?
+mdslick1
Yes, the 2.0 version
Seems like the allies are kind of useless in this one :/
my man had 0 hp and was still able to use a potion. omg. auto regen MP too? /facepalm.
i dont think his party was dead thats why
JeffRB 0 HP usually means dead. And the slow motion camera on them dying at 0 HP is also a give away.
Well when i wrote that i was talking about the begging of the fight but when i kept watching i saw that i was wrong so i thought i deleted the message.... guess u cant die in this game ........
JeffRB yea, its too much hand holding.
+Mike The Gamer It's extremely unlikely it will work like this in the finished game. The demo was easy, but here's the thing about demos: the point isn't to be difficult.
So the companion AI is pretty stupid and just stands there taking the same hit after hit from the same attack you can see coming from a mile away?
Well it's a large and slow enemy so obviously it has nothing to do with the A.I In fact this battle is based on 13's adamantoise battle.
wiseguy240 Winston I said, "companion AI". The other members of the party don't attempt to move out of the way when it rears its head to do the sweep attack.
Crescendyr ohhh ok yeah that's true.
+Crescendyr
The AI is much better against normal enemies. Pretty sure this was just quickly thrown in as an optional battle, and I'm not exactly doing it properly either (as sort of a challenge really)
What you would probably do in the main game is use the summon to knock it down, then use a chain attack or something to make use of the rest of your team. Currently, the AI just sees the main point of attack (legs) and goes after that. I didn't use a summon because I figured that would seem like cheating, but maybe I'll re-do this now that I know a bit more about how the battle works.
Unfortunately there is no chain attacks with this monster, nor is there any counter/combo strikes you can do with your allies. I'm sure those things will be in the full game though.
so whats the point in killing such a majestic animal?
save africa from hunger
Pretty boring way to fight a boss.
Wouldn't be a problem, but it seems like the only way to approach this boss. Hopefully the final product looks more fun. I can tell from the DEMO that the game might run into some balance issues.
+14megasxlr
Every other monster has a counter attack you can trigger, and unfortunately spamming the warp attack in armiger is the only reliable way to deal large amounts of damage quickly without that feature.
Not only this but the demo only allows you to collect 4 different phantom swords, each granting their own unique ability. Only once you collected all 4 was the warp strike changed to the spinning blades. I'm guessing in the full game with 12 swords there will be even more combos and abilities that come with collecting all of them.
Finally, we are only given single character physical attacks in the demo while trailers have shown off magic and combination attacks with all 4 characters when it comes to dealing with larger enemies.
Just to put it in perspective, I tried many times to fight this guy in the most interesting way possible, but each time I ended up with 30-45 minutes of gameplay. Even at 99 it was taking forever to battle it out normally.
***** I know I know, this isn't the final product and all, im just a bit worried.
I'm not saying fighting a super boss like this thing should be quick and easy, im just saying there's got to be more than one way doll out damage to powerful enemies than just spamming armiger, which from what you've said and from what i've seen from trailers, it seems like there will be.
Now that I think about it, this kind of reminds me of fighting the Long Gui in FF 13-2. Took me about as long as it took you to kill this thing, but I think that battle had a much higher excitement value because of all the mechanics that were actually at play. Namely the stagger system. It lent a lot to gameplay and balance, so im hoping 14 will have something effectively the same.
Ideally I would like to see a way to knock it down without using a summon or without getting your team destroyed by its legs
At that point there should be a target circle to start a chain attack with your allies at least. The stagger effect should also last longer than it does now to give me a reason to take advantage of that (or you know, actually do more than just give a higher percentage change of crits)
Improvements to the dodge mechanics would be nice too, or even just weapons with stats that work better for a level 99 character. The MP gain for early levels works great when trying to fill up your MP bar. But at 175, it takes too long and puts you in a risky situation for way longer than you should be. (hiding behind cover to gain MP should really only work when you are completely out and get less effective the more MP you have)
From what I've played, the demo didn't intend for anyone to grind to 99, and it definitely wasn't balanced around that either.
In fact, they probably added this fight in as a last minute thing just for the dedicated fans to attempt, and even then it was based around using the summon a couple times to knock it down so you can attack it without your party being wiped
I just figured that people wouldn't be interested in seeing me use a summon to take out 90% of its health doing it the "normal" way
+14megasxlr that is not even a boss; its just a creature in the wild...
Da River No, that thing is a summon, boss. Catoblepas.
0% exp? Well that was useless
+Leo Craveiro 9999 xp 0% boost
worst ff ever
+Seba Hildt
I know, they basically made an HD version of XII with action combat :O
final fantasy is fucked. it gets worse and worse
ああ
looks too easy to me
I am max level...and it still took 15 minutes :P
+Shayz there's a difference between a fight being difficult and being tedious. Not saying it wasn't difficult, but I think that's what he was saying.
meh lol not worth it
This looks boring...and underwhelming, and not at all what I have been waiting for since two thousand and fuckin' six...
This isn't exactly the most impressive gameplay, nor does it show off any of the combos or chain attacks (not possible in this build of the game against this enemy)
I also kinda wanted to do it as fast as possible without using the summon, so that's why I don't care about my team and why I run back to that rock to refill my MP and health.
Do realize that I have spent over 40 hours in the demo alone. This is just one monster, not even a boss, and not even the main part of the game...just a fun challenge.
and that's just the demo we're talking about.
***** Fair enough. I was hoping that was the case. I really do want this game... and I would have purchased Type-0 for the demo, but I couldn't afford to blow $60 at the time. Of course, now that I can, the demo is no longer being offered with it. Being a die-hard fan of everything Versus XIII (now XV) since its announcement and not being afforded a chance to play the demo definitely fueled the bitterness of my previous comment, so I apologize. Thanks for taking the time to kindly elaborate on the video and respond to my frustrations.
I personally resold type-0 on Glyde for $45 the next day
That was the only way I could afford this $60 demo, so I feel you on that one.
The sheer amount of advertizing right now for this demo is also really dumb. It's one thing if the code shipped with every copy of Type-0, but only day one editions? Plain stupid.
***** Yes, it's very stupid indeed. I guess I'll just have to stay patient and watch some more vids of the demo until the game is finally released. Well anyway, enjoy it man, if you upload any more vids I'll be sure to check them out.
This is possibly my favorite FFXV gameplay video if you haven't seen it already:
th-cam.com/video/60nWEuj2wAI/w-d-xo.html
That was two years ago, and has so much more of the combat system than what they let us do in the demo. They even show off how magic might work in the flow of all the swordplay, which I'm most excited for.
