    Default What are your Episode Duscae 2.0 Impressions?

    Anyone tried this out yet? I don't have much capability to play it at the moment, so I want to hear from you all impressions of the changes and improvements made to the demo.

    It's a pretty good improvement.

    Camera is better, combat is faster, lock on is still pretty much the same but good. I like the dodge roll a lot and the new animations. A+

    Still can't wait to play the final game.

    I haven't even played the first one yet. It's on PS4 isn't it? Ugh.

    How do you get it? Is it just an update to the previous demo?

    FFXV Episode Duscae Version 2.0 is a definite improvement over the first version. Like sephy says the combat is faster, and I'm liking the addition of Chain Links (group attacks). Also the Arminger is much flashier now! When you use it and you warp towards an enemy things get crazy! I love it

    I'm liking the "On Tour" quests as well, where after camping at certain times you have the choice to go out with just Noctis and one of the others to fulfill a certain requirement.

    Honestly this is probably the best demo that I have ever played, and I can't wait to finally be able to play the full game with all the features intact!

    Is there an option to invert the camera controls this time? I put up with it the first time, but I can not play a game without "piloting" the camera. I tilt my head back to look up, I tilt my joystick back to look up. My brain can't re-translate that to anything else. If the final game comes out with normal controls, I won't even be able to play it x_x

    I'll patch it up and give it a try. I have mixed feelings with this 'beta' approach to a single-player FF game. On the one hand it's really cool that they are letting us play it as it develops and give feedback on the progress. I can't think of any other non-MMO that has done this. On the other hand it sort of implies that they don't really know what they are doing and may not be confident in their product or knowing what the customer wants.

    Totally agree. Third person camera must always be dual inverted.

    I just don't understand why they can't give us a cycle button for the lock on system. Having to look in the direction of the enemy you want and then hope it locks on to them is just ridiculous, especially when there are a dozen or more enemies on the screen.

    Yeah, and I forget the tutorial, but there appears to be two types of lock-ons. The R1 one, and the R3 one. But yeah, you have to unlock, change camera, and re-lock on a new enemy

    And they did not add camera control options. Poopy. At least there's little reason to look up or down much..

    I will say the animations and environment are still surprisingly gorgeous and fluid

    This is not really a game you want to set down for 3 months and then try to come back to. I managed to get the hang of it and survive battles, but I'm pretty positive I forgot all the nuances of battle and everything. Not that I was even particularly good at it when it was all fresh lol
