- Extended Gamescom Dawn trailer will be shown at TGS
- New Caim outpost was shown near ocean. Can seamlessly get on boat, boat will travel across ocean in real-time but you won't have direct control of boat. More of a one-way trip instead of full on sea exploration

Jump to 22:18 for shirtless Gladiolus and other concept art, jump to 41:00 and 48:00 to see new gameplay.
Also, Cor is still alive! ;O;

It's good to see Cor is still going to do something in battles. We haven't seen him in forever.
All the gameplay they showed look really good and improved from Episode Duscae, and the whole world looks great! I am very happy to see they didn't throw away Prompto's old gameplay style from when other characters were playable. For him it was third person shooting similar to in FF7: DoC. I always thought it would have looked really cool to do that with Noctis, but when they said the other characters weren't playable anymore, I thought there was no way it would still stay on Noctis.
And, more warp points is nice too. I did wonder what it looked like inside the enemy airships.

So there is a free drive in FF15? I wonder how it controls i doubt you can go crazy and crash into people or stuff. The game really does look amazing though with how big the world is.
The game world might turn out to be one of the largest game worlds ever. People are already trying to figure it all out by the limited information we got:

Wow that comparison to gta v and witcher 3! I hope the world has a rich lore to uncover and is full of history because I love discovering stuff like that for every location and creature.
Because it is a Final Fantasy game I wonder how the open world will work. Like can you fully just explore the world at your own pace like in skyrim or gta or are you blocked off from areas and carried along the story.
I think, they already confirmed, that you will explore the world bit by bit with the progression of the story. It is initially not completely free. Kinda like Xenoblade Chronicles. But in the end game the whole world is ready for you to explore/revisit. I actually would really like that. I always feel a little lost and demotivated to follow the actual story in games like Skyrim or GTA5. Lol, I never finished either of these games' story campaigns.

That seems okay. I hope there is lots to do in the cities and settlements in the world and that after you complete the story you can still play around in the world.

To be fair, in most GTA games you were blocked off from parts of the world until certain events would happen. Like a bridge would be closed or something that would prevent you from travelling to other parts of the map. [I know there were glitches and cheats that could get you past, but the intention was to block off parts.] In fact, many open world games I've played have had some areas blocked off initially, Infamous being one that comes to mind. So, if FFXV has some parts of the world initially blocked off (or inaccessible until you get an airship), then that's not really detracting from its status as an "open world" game to me.
One critique though: I hear you can run out of gas in FFXV. Meh, that's too much realism for me. I have to worry about how full my gas tank is in real-life, I don't need it in a video game. There's never been a point in a GTA game where I think, "this would be so much better if I had to keep track of fuel!"

Those screens are SOOO much more polished than Episode Duscae it's kinda interesting to see how good it looks now, also is it me or does Noctis look older and less in his teens in that new trailer?
He does look manlier/older here, but I think it's just his pissed of look and the lighting.
Here he looks just as in Duscae.
