Walking the world
•The first video shown is a portion of the Duscae region which will be on the demo

•Depending on the shape of the ground Noct and friends walking animations will change
•If you keep running you can see your friends tire and try to catch their breath
•You can fish in streams, rivers, and the ocean!
•You can fight the wildlife. As they are always active, be careful as they will attack if you get close
•There are buildings in the forest with people living in them. You can enter some of these buildings
•There are also animals that aren’t enemies like cats and dogs
•In order to make the mountains the developers actually climbed one. They might show a video of them doing this one day
•Demons like the Naga or the Goblins will come out of the caves at night
•It’s dangerous at night and is safer to rest at a gas station or by other means
•The party members dialogue will change in accordance to the time

•Magitek Armor will make an appearance. (was not meant to have been said)

The Tech Demo!
•Currently transferring the game from Ebony to Luminous.
•The game is running on Luminous 1.4 now, will be on 1.5 when the demo comes out, and the goal is to have XV running on Luminous 2.0 upon release.
•Engine transferring currently 80% complete and will be 100% done by the time the demo is out.
•Working with Sony and MS to help push the hardware to its limits.
•You can destroy most buildings (but not all), and damage/destroy the ground in places.
•With the power of Luminous, FFXV will far surpass Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
•Another tech demo is planned to be shown at a later date

@Enkidu: "Events and enemy position removed/changed for this video to show just the walking"
Soll wohl bedeuten, dass einiges nicht gezeigt wird, um sich auf die Landschaft zu konzentrieren, ich denke da gehört auch die Minimap dazu.

"There are buildings in the forest with people living in them. You can enter some of these buildings"
Ich denke nicht, dass die Welt so leer und uninteressant wird, wie du es dir vorstellst.

"The Duscae region is as a large as 10% of the game"
Desweiteren steht dort in der News irgendwo auch, dass man 1 Stunde Fußweg braucht, um Duscae zu durchqueren, und diese Region im fertigen Spiel alleine noch größer sein wird. Das heißt du hättest im fertigen Spiel um auf der Welt von einem Ende zum anderen zu kommen 10 Stunden Fußweg mindestens. Ich glaube das mit den realistischen Abständen zwischen den Orten hätte sich erledigt. Aber das ganze scheint doch etwas zu überdimensioniert zu sein... Ich fände es aber nicht schlecht im allgemeinen, wenn man dafür irgendwie eine Möglichkeit hätte auch mit einem Luftschiff diese Welt zu durchqueren. Vielleicht will man uns mit so etwas in der Art überraschen, mal sehen...
