Question; Are people actually bothered by the all male cast? Or rather, male only party members? Or is it just drummed up as a meme?
I'm not really sure why it would be a big deal, and it seems to work thematically with what they're going for
/v/ gets angry when its all female or all male.
>>339451308
>implying that a literal final fantasy stand by me is bad
>implying brotherhood is bad
>implying you wouldn'thug_prompto
>>339451308
I legitimately don't like it. I prefer a cast that's weird, wild and diverse in my JRPGs. But whatever I'm not the audience for this game.
I'm not upset at the all male cast. I'm upset that they look like huge, gigantic, gargantuan, fucking faggots -- like they just walked out of a hard gay bar circa 2003. What upsets me even more is that other characters, like Noctis' dad, have a great design. It's just mainly the protags that look like they suck 50 dicks a day.
Feminists are mad because
>muh male power fantasy
Otaku are mad because
>fujoshit pandering, muh waifus
I don't really care, I waited 10 years for this
>>339451308
>Are people actually bothered
no and who gives a shit
>>339451308
It is pretty gay, no homo.
I always like playing as the cute girl too and now I've been deprived of that simple pleasure.
>>339451308
they might aswell be female because they look feminine and gay as fuck
>>339451308
There are no cute girls to jack off to. Also why are Cloud (far left) and Elliot Rodger (2nd from right) in this game ??
>>339451308
It bothers me a little since I prefer more varied casts but honestly I can't be bothered to give a shit about XV at all at this point
>>339451773
pretty much this.
i'm really not sure what convinced them to totally double-down on the faggotry of the main character designs
not to mention their names are fucking embarrassingly stupid. noctis? ignis? pure fucking retarded
>>339451308
Not bothered by male only, definitely bothered by the designs. Yeah their clothes are "normal" but it's still way too much and the all black color scheme for everything doesn't help.
>>339451308
It's literally just insecure homos screaming that they look like "boy band members", see
>>339451773
>>339452571
>>339452686
>>339453039
>>339453346
Are you saying they don't?
All of them look fine to me except Prompto
I hope there will be alternate costumes but i doubt it
The dissonance between the stupid ass real world-esque technology related stuff in conjunction with all the Final Fantasy tropes alongisde the usual overly clean and feminine "real life anime" design of it all has reached critical mass. It's been an issue that's just gotten bigger and bigger since VII and it's a fucking awful and unpleasant style the series has taken on. Who the fuck wants this stupid shit. Who thinks any of this is cool.
I can't believe it's 2016 and there's no female representation at all. I mean even FF5 had 2 males and 3 females and that was the early 90s.
>>339451308
X-2 had an all female cast, so why not?
>>339451308
The all male case does not bother me. The backstreet boys VS the world does.
>>339451308
>Question; Are people actually bothered by the all male cast? Or rather, male only party members?
No, no, no, a million times no. There have been countless games with all male cast members. The issue is they look like the fucking Jonas Brothers.
I don't mind all male. It's just that Ignis is the only good design there.
The just seem like a bunch of metrosexual faggots
>>339453552
I can't see why it's an issue.
I think it's pretty cool to basically have anime art style done with realistic technology
If it was cell-shaded like, say, Naruto games or Persona, it would look worse and wouldn't have any personality of its own
I'm fine with an all male cast. My biggest problem is that they look like they fell out of a Japanese male host club.
The script was just leaked:
>Angst filled teens struggle with emotions while a super ultra mega badguy rubs his chin and says 'hmm' every thirty minutes. One of them is secretly a demon who is actually an angel who is mysteriously a vampire, and he struggles with school.
Jrpgs have shit gameplay, stories that appeal only to children, and died in the 90s. Let them stay dead.
>>339453493
Yeah, I am.
>>339453757
Actually the Jonas brothers are nowhere as flamboyant. They look fairly normal. SE fucked up big time.
>>339451308
It all comes down to the chemistry between the cast, both in dialogue and in battle.
>>339453493
They do, but if you don't like gorgeous men then you just have irredeemably shit taste.
>>339454038
But Witcher 3 has a mature story right? LMAO.
>>339454130
You're just a faggot or hambeast. You're only proving our point.
>>339454130
>those effeminate faggots
>gorgeous
lol
>>339454246
You don't have a point. Your complaint is the neckbeard equivalent of SJWs complaining about sexualized women in game. You only dislike it because it makes you feel insecure and inadequate.
>>339454154
Not that anon, but, yes. A single side quest in Witcher 3 trump's the writing of all jrpgs ever made.
>>339454374
They don't even look handsome. They look flat out like a boy band in its worst form. Even Jonas Brothers looked more grounded.
>>339454439
Ciri is a Mary Sue and the Wild Hunt is a joke and gore doesn't make a mature story. Now fuck off back to your shilling thread, stinky fucking Polack.
>>339454530
>she's not even sexy. she looks like a stripper!
kek. Where have I heard this before?
I sincerely hope this game sells like hot garbage and finally kills square. They deserve it at this point.
>>339454530
Confirmed for no taste.
>>339454612
But angst filled teens #29 is an example of mature storytelling?
>>339454656
Actually I prefer when girls in games look cute over looking like whores. But that's just a preference of mine.
>>339454817
About the same level as an edgy GoT wannabe that keeps throwing gore in your face to make you think it's mature and awesome. Now fuck off you stinky Polack.
>>339454874
The picture you posted is the exact kind of character insecure women would complain about and call a whore as a defense mechanism. And you're the exact same as them, but for dudes. You have terrible taste and double standards.
I just hope the full game has more shota Noctis segments
>>339454971
You jack off to drawn children don't you?
>sexy woman design
>feminists whine
>/v/ defends the design "muh artistic freedoms!"
>XV designs
>b-but boybands are problematic!
>>339455113
Atleast I don't whore my children away as sex slaves, dirty stinky Polack.
I don't have a problem with the cast being all male and understand perfectly why they did it. It was a good choice.
Making them look like boyband members was not a good choice. I hate this cast more than any JRPG cast since Star Ocean 4.
>>339451308
Only insecure losers are.
>>339455131
Heterosexual males don't want to play a game where the characters look like they're on the verge of breaking into a gay orgy at any second. They're literally a fucking boy-band, yet also super bad ass fighters? It doesn't make sense and it's clearly pandering.
>>339455076sauce?
>>339455351
It'll be a link to Y-gallery, are you ready?
>>339455038
Nah Agnes doesn't look like a stripper. But XV party actually look like a boy band and I find it clashes too hard with the setting. I also disliked the YUNA GOES JPOP in X-2 aswell mind you. It clashed with the setting, same as the XV party does. Roen was a mistake.
>>339455131
Numales can't handle the idea that nobody thinks their hideous beards and comically thick glasses are sexy, so they have to throw actual tempter tantrums any time a game has an attractive man in it.
>>339455191
You'll never have children. You need to touch a woman first.
>>339455290
Jesus Christ, you're pathetic.
>>339451308
This game will probably be decent, but still fail miserably in the West because they went full retard thinking their audience are all nerdy girls. It was a fucking awful decision from all angles.
>>339455418yes
>>339453039
>not to mention their names are fucking embarrassingly stupid. noctis? ignis? pure fucking retarded
Really? That's what you're going to complain about? In the series that has characters named Cloud, Squall, Snow, and Lightning?
>>339455563
http://www.y-gallery.net/user/tamago/
>>339455519
How many men haven't touched your whore wife and daughter? Polack women come cheaper than a glass of water. Fitting, considering you're the niggers of Europe.
>>339455290
>Heterosexual females don't want to play a game where the characters look like they're on the verge of breaking into a pole dance at any second. They're literally a fucking strip club, yet also super bad ass fighters? It doesn't make sense and it's clearly pandering.
Do you see how ridiculous you look now?
>>339455627
>Access denied
dang
>>339455290
So? It's artistic freedom, they can look how the artist wanted them to look.
>>339455725
How insecure are you? This is sad.
>Not even Polish.
>>339453039
How are their names retarded when they're actual Latin words?
I'd say the made up shit like Teedus and Sephiroth are more retarded.
>>339454439
witcher 3 you mean the mario rip off?
I am sorry but the princess is another castle.
lol
>>339456060
>Sephiroth
>made up
kek
>>339451308
When those males are faggot fuccboi fashion models, yes. There personalities will be every bit as shallow as their appearance.
>>339451308
I'm more bothered by the lackluster gameplay.
I'm not bothered, but it is kinda wierd since almost every FF has a chick on the team, even if it's just 1. Usually it's 2.
>>339455765
>Do you see how ridiculous you look now?
Was there ever a AAA with that premise though? No, that's the crap you find in weeb shit and nowhere else. Games that have those characters at least are balanced out by equally sexualized males.
>>339455903
>It's artistic freedom, they can look how the artist wanted them to look.
There's a market reality to these things though. Do you really think there won't be people who don't pick this up because they won't get into the boy-band thing?
>You are not allowed to dislike a game because of its artstyle/design
>You are not allowed to dislike a game that focuses on story if the story isn't appealing
>You have to play this faggot game to prove you aren't gay you insecure baby!
>>339451308
No, it's just a meme.
>>339456984
What is a meme anon? I don't think you know.
TORTANIC effect familia.
no matter what the game does since it's a big game the folllowing threads will always be made
1. what went wrong?
2. SJWs did ________ to my game
3. fell for the ________ meme
4. how did we go from this to THIS
5. metacritic scores
6. on suicide watch
7. steam reviews
there's probably more but /v/ has been irrevocably changed by TORTANIC. no game will satisfy /v/'s lust, because they no longer crave video games but shitposts, epic memes, and (you)s for their reply screen grabs.
>>339455131
Exactly, /v/ are literally SJWs.
>>339456861
You are beyond delusional.
>>339457310
NO U
>>339456898
So you just admit that you are insecure.
>>339457035
Calling them a gay boyband is a meme because they aren't a boyband or gay.
I just don't like the way they look. If the game is shit I'll keep shitting on their looks, otherwise I'll deal with it.
>>339456861
Western muscle head designs aren't sexy. You seriously lack self awareness if you think you aren't acting like a typical feminist.
>>339457491
You're right, they look nothing like a boy band. They're like a super boy-band.
FFXV is a totally a new thing
Name ONE JRPG where your party is male only, just one
>>339457540
>You seriously lack self awareness if you think you aren't acting like a typical feminist.
Excuse me? I actually play video games I'll have you know.
>>339457631
FF1
>>339457151
This.
>>339457581
You're right, they aren't a boyband and they aren't gay. Being a boyband requires that they sing yet none of them do. Maybe you should look up urban fashion and what urban fantasty is then come to the only logical conclusion that they are urban characters from an urban city in a game with urban fantasty.
>>339457631
>Being a boyband requires that they sing yet none of them do. Maybe you should look up urban fashion and what urban fantasty is then come to the only logical conclusion that they are urban characters from an urban city in a game with urban fantasty.
The characters look like what would happen if human genetic experiments were legal and they tried to make a group of men to appeal to the tweenage girl demographic, which is exactly what happened but in video game form. They don't sing but they still look like a god damn boy band.
>>339457631
FF1 and FF3, though only NES 3. But 1 and 3 didn't have actual characters in the party, just blank slates with different (or same) job classes.
>>339451308
FF is fuckung gay, that's why people dont like it males
>>339458170
No they don't.
>>339456861
That has nothing to do with artistic freedom. Also
>implying it won't sell well
>>339458342
NUH UH
>>339458170
They just look like regular attractive guys. Why are you so triggered? Do you freak out when you see a hot guy in public too?
>>339453913
It's the super faggy design that has been the problem the last 10 years
>>339454015
Yeah, pretty much male prostitutes
>>339458471
Prompto looks like a biker punk, Noctis looks like a Japanese street punk from shinjuku, Gladio looks like a Sicilian grease, Ignis looks like yakuza and Cor looks like an american soldier wearing clothes his kids dressed him in.
>>339457151
third
>>339458613
>problem
I think you mean selling point.
Feminists that are mad because of this all-male cast have completly missed the point because this is clearly targeted to the female audience rather the male one.
>>339454374
Emo died 5 years ago, let it go japan
>>339458685
>>339454015
That only applies to Noctis and Prompto.
>>339457581
Wow, it's like half of them boys are victims of FAS.
I mean, just look at their faces.
>>339458841
Emo was never a thing in Japan.
>>339454738
Confirmed for hambeast homoluster
>Characters are all stylish and wear anything other then wifebeaters with huge bulging oiled muscles
>LOL FUCKIN QUEERS THEY LOOK LIKE FAGS WHAT THE FUCK
Never change guys
>>339458796
That's the irony really. And they also complain about Cidney being too sexy while also ignoring the fact that Gladious is a literal walking Aniki. Dumb SJWs.
>>339451308
i'm mad because they look like a fucking punk rock album cover
>>339458964
>Characters are all stylish and wear anything other then wifebeaters with huge bulging oiled muscles
Have you been playing the intro of San Andreas exclusively?
>>339458979
As opposed to looking like a 80s pop album cover?
>>339457398
That's just a buzzword at this point
>>339451308
No
All male cast in JRPG is finally something original and unique.
They do look like a faggots though
>>339457491
They look like they escaped from japanese host club for older loser women with too much money
>>339458964
>Got dressed in the dark in a Hot Topic
>Stylish
>>339458960
Prompto literally hits on women and is a skirt chaser. His character is basically Sanji mixed with Usopp.
>>339458062
Emo is dead, japan sould let it go
>>339458841
They don't really look emo. Another all male FF game where the cast looks like members of a visual kei band would be nice though.
>>339459349
>hot topic
>Expensive Tokyo fashion clothes from real world high end designer are now somehow hot topic
>>339457151
/v/ is /pol/ in disguise.
>>339458530
They look like wet dream of japanese homolusters, don't realize that them being faggots is a huge selling point to fujoshi
it's clearly pandering to fujoshit hambeasts and faggots. you're delusional if you can't see that
>>339459214
No it isn't.
>>339459338
Other than Noctis or Prompto they don't look like hosts.
>all these one sentence posts
Phoneposting ruined /v/. It's a fucking imageboard and you're on a phone where you can't even post images or type properly.
>>339451308
I like it being all male. More bonding and comfy bro shit, less garbage forced love story that every FF has. If you have to do that shit, at least give us a choice about who we get with, square
>>339459636
Yeah, they look like attractive men. Anybody who likes men would obviously like them. Do you have a point or are you just frothing at the mouth because of how insanely insecure you are?
>>339459769
They took emo to the next faggot cocksucker level, doesnt make it any better
>>339459636
But none of them are gay and they hit on women multiple times. You can stop being insecure anytime now. As far as pretty boys go XV has the least amount compared to any other FF.
>>339451308
I'm more concerned with the part where they all look like faggots.
>>339459959
Good morning bazztek
>>339459649
No it isn't. Nice insecurity though.
>>339459832
>>339460054
>or are you just frothing at the mouth because of how insanely insecure you are?
stop projecting your faggotry on others you goddamn genetic mistake of nature.just because someone is calling out faggots doesn't mean he is "insecure" you buzzword spouting faggot
>>339459920
No they didn't. You seem to enjoy thinking of males sucking cocks, something you want to tell us?
>>339460054
It clearly is. If you just admitted this, these threads would be less painful on you bazztek.
>>339460175
Wow look at all this insecurity.
I don't mind the guys and I even think the jacket/biker looking guy is pretty cool, but can't we at least have a couple qts?
We've had an all female party with X-2, so who cares that they're mixing it up a bit?
>>339460039
Who?
>>339460175
You're about two posts away from "I'M LITERALLY SHAKING RIGHT NOW" tumblr levels of meltdown. I'd say you're pretty fucking insecure. And all because a video game has pretty boys in it, too.
>>339451308
>Not wanting to play as the JRPG equivalent of the Backstreet Boys
>>339460214
It isn't though? What does posting a picture of two of them with Japanese hosts prove exactly? Japanese hosts fuck more women than you can count. Why did you leave out Gladio, Ignis and Cor?
>bazztek
What the fuck is bazztek?
>>339460670
bazztek is ffxv-kun
>>339460670
Yes, those that fashion themselves after fujoshi taste gets to fuck fujoshis. Is that a surprise? Why not just admit the designs are fujoshi pandering and just move on? It's not like anyone is denying that Lightning isn't pandering to waifufags. It's what it is.
>>339460719
Ok so?
I'm probably getting this game just for the "bro" factor.
I was in a band a few years ago with a group of guys I has known since 2nd grade. It fell apart horribly and I only still talk to one of the guys in it. But the time spent doing what we did was the best of my life and I miss it to the point of contemplating suicide because no part of my life will ever be that fulfilling again.
It's a shitty reason to get a video game, but I don't really care.
>>339460882
Do you even know what a fujoshi is?
>>339460918
You should play Morenatsu.
/v/ is full of vocal lazy faggots whose freshest outfit is the suit they own for funerals and after that it's cargo shorts/pants. Definitely nothing name-brand. There's nothing wrong with having a sense of style and creating your own flair, especially considering it's something that women appreciate.
Would I personally want Sasuke hair and the rest of Noctis' outfit? No, that kind of thing isn't my style and wouldn't suit me. However, I do get it and it suits him fine. They're all wearing fresh urban styles.
I will say that the boy band criticism is entirely justified. Anyone who doesn't believe it is in serious denial. Guys simply don't show up together in color coordinated outfits unless they're gangbangers, in uniform, or in a fucking boy band. It's fairly obvious they don't belong in the first two categories.
I don't see why people are so worked up over it, though. This is a massive step in the right direction for FF costume design. If you went to a night club and saw these guys there they wouldn't look out of place at all, anime hair notwithstanding. Do people really prefer garbage like the shit they wear in FFX? Have all the belt and zipper memes already been forgotten?
>>339451308
BREAKING NEWS
Nerds don't like that the new FF cast wants to fuck each other. More news at 11.
>>339461010
Just looked this up.
Why would I play furshit? Or is it something else than that?
>>339460882
Fujoshit are literally just the female equivalent of neet neckbeard shutins. Not party girls that go to host clubs spending a ton of money on hosts to make themselves feel good.
>>339461161
They wear those clothes because they're from the Lucis royal organization and black is their official color.
>>339461221
But they don't, in fact the guys hit on girls as we've already seen multiple times.
>>339461253
Furshit, but slice of life and super comfy. One route has a guy in a band. There are feels.
>>339461284
Most women that go to host clubs are prostitutes. It's actually really crazy, there's a documentary about how fucked and awful the whole thing is.
>>339461520
So why do they all look like they're going to kiss each other at any moment? I wouldn't be surprised if they turned out gay honestly. No fucking way that pandering shit won't make it in the game with those designs.
>>339461441
thanks for the lore explanation, friend.
It's still really lame. I don't think I would ever call my friends and tell them all to wear the same colors as me. That's how you end on the cover of Disney Adventures instead of Gentleman's Quarterly.
>>339461949
If everyone better dressed than you were gay humans would have become extinct as soon as modern textile manufacturing was developed.
>>339461949
But it doesn't. You sound extremely insecure.
>>339451308
look at the image you posted, do you really think the problem is them being all males?
>>339462845
You're right, there isn't any problem with them.
>>339455131
True, but I always though the 90%-nude animu girls were dumb too.
XV's protags not only looks dumb, but has the dullest and angstiest setup of any FF game, in contrast to the crazier variety we usually get.
>>339461734
now I'm curious. tell me more.
It bothers me, not because they're all male but because they're a bunch of punchable faggots.
Especially Prompto, or as I like to call him, Farewell Sausage. Actually MGSV had the better 4-man cast altogether.
>>339461949
Congrats on being brainwashed into thinking close male relationships are gay.
I bet you think Bucky and Cap are fags as well.
>>339463234
Bucky and Cap aren't gay?
>>339463104
>crazier variety
that's a really polite way to say "fashion abominations"
>>339462913
Yeah if you like boy bands maybe.
>>339460885
Not that anon but he's some creepy dude that stalks almost every FFXV thread here and kills any discussion.
You're better off talking about it on other boards or avoiding them altogether like many others have done so already.
>>339463104
They don't look angsty at all.
>>339463431
And right back to square one with the memes.
I feel like just giving them regular looking hair would fix so much. I would probably actually want to play this but they just look so silly. Trying to make them realistic but with anime hair just doesn't work
>>339463156
https://2400express.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/a-tale-of-two-host-clubs-yaoh-vs-the-great-happiness-space/
there's like only one documentary about this, not hard to google considering even I found it. This article juxtaposes it with the media image of host clubs, though. Seems like the quickest way to read the points without actually watching the movie. I'll probably check it out later, though.
>>339464516
>>339464404
Even at square one, they still look like a boy band.
>they look gay
Okay, so? What's inherently wrong with that?
>>339464740
But they don't. Refer to >>339458725
>>339464950
It's a AAA game. Why the fuck does the main cast look like that?
I want to play this game but Christ, I get the vibe that the sexual tension will be so thick I could cut it with a knife.
>>339465045
I don't know what half those words even mean. All I know is if I saw men like that in real life people would look around to make sure they weren't filming a music video.
>>339465136
>I don't know what half those words even mean
Of course you don't. /v/ is full of underage now.
>>339465136
Because the world doesn't always revolve around you fucking faggots that people call heterosexuals.
The sad part is the entire XV main party are prolly straight. You fags can't handle anything that's not bald space marines that you think that androgynous looking characters are a negative. Literally go kill yourself
Straight men are probably the most concerned demographic on earth concerned about gay men. tbqh senpai
>>339465261
More like not weeaboo
>>339465287
> you think that androgynous looking characters are a negative.
Those are fine, not issue with androgynous looking characters. But fuck it can't be every character, that's retarded.
>>339451308
They all look the same.
>>339451613
>literal final fantasy stand by me
You've never seen Stand By Me apparently.
>hated Xenoblade because characters were androgynous pretty boys and braindead anime whores with the IQ (and in one case, the face) of a potato
>feel like FFXV will be slightly better since the party will lack the braindead females
>the men take over the role of being braindead and are just as bad
>>339451308
Reason for me not to buy it. None of the character look interesting to me, be they female or not.
>>339465136
>Why the fuck does the main cast look like that?
Like what? Have you even seen the males in FF before?
>>339465704
I have, Vaan and Tidus made purchasing the games fucking embarrassing. Now it's literally every god damn character. The game looks so good too...
>>339465579
>They all look the same.
No they are all clearly different builds, designs, clothes and style. Only similarity is black color on clothes.
And seriously nigger? Do you even know anything?

So you are blind as fuck.
>>339466036
Wow that's a pretty sad picture. Also having the one muscle guy with his bare chest exposed all the time just makes it seem all the more... gay.
>>339466119
>The manly character is gay too!
Wow this insecurity just keeps growing.
>>339466159
they won't be happy unless it's a party of nothing but buxom scantily clad women plus one snarky loli
Luna's VA just confirmed that Luna is 24.
all male cast is not the problem
the problem is they are super gay homo boy band cast
if you break the forth wall that hard why even have an rpg
>>339466465
>break the forth wall that hard
wut
>>339466465
They aren't gay or a boyband.
>>339465390
http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/bering-in-mind/natural-homophobes-evolutionary-psychology-and-antigay-attitudes/ I read this study a long time ago when it was mentioned on /pol/. Very interesting read. I have no idea where to find that, but I found this article that touches all the highlights since no one on /v/ has the attention span to read academia.
>>339466658
they just look like one.
The real problem is people consider it a problem in the first place. It's fashion that looks cool, but only in a video game.
>>339467012
They look like a delinquent gang. I don't get boyband at all from looking them.
>>339451308
Nah I'm glad I got to play Backstreet's Back, it's gonna be a fun bro trip. Not like there aren't some cool looking women in the game as well that will probably join the party here and there at times.
>>339466465
I don't think you know what the fourth wall means.
if most of the promo stills were at night rather than the day you'd have everyone calling them emo and comparing them to MCR
>>339466848
I am not an expert in the field, but I would think that sexual orientation doesn't have to necessarily correlate with who pedophiliacs abuse. Similar to how it doesn't always correlate with adult rapists (see: the prison system)
I'm not bothered by the male cast, I just think they look fucking stupid.
I get that it's supposed to be "fantasy based on reality", but they just made them look like boring metrosexuals.
Some new Kingsglaive FFXV stuff just dropped.

The movie is being dubbed and lip-synced in English while the Japanese version is a voice over dub.
Their Japanese voice actors are
>Luna
Shiori Kutsuna (Kitagawa Rina in the game)
>Nyx
Gou Ayano
>Regis
Tsutomu Isobe (same as the game)
>Drautos
Koichi Yamadera
>Libertus
Mitsuaki Kanuka
>Luche
Tomokazu Seki
>Crowe
Ayumi Fujimura
>>339467373
>>339466848
There's also the sliding scale and fluidity of sexual orientation. I feel like we're missing the forest for the trees when we do that. Assuming everyone is rigidly adhering to a binary orientation their entire life doesn't seem right
>>339467523
>The movie is being dubbed and lip-synced in English while the Japanese version is a voice over dub
why tho
>>339467076
They don't look like thugs at all. Noctis and Prompto are both in urban punk styles of fashion, while Gladio and Ignis both look like they just walked out of a GQ photoshoot.
>>339467373
>>339467551
Maybe he's not talking about the right study. I was referring to the hypothesis that homophobia among straight males is an evolutionary trait. I skimmed further down and that seems like the case.
It's gonna be shit.
>>339467523
Regis is basically saying that he wants Luna to protect Noctis, but Luna said no because Niflheim troops would follow her wherever she goes so Noctis would always be in danger. She is saying that even though it is her mission to protect the future king she can't do what Regis wants. Regis says that it's her right to be happy and Luna says she willingly came to Insomnia.
>>339468105
>They don't look like thugs at all.
Gladio is as thug as it gets. Ignis looks like yakuza businessman. Noctis and Poompto both look like street punk delinquents.
>>339468105
oh no, I saw that and read it. The author kinda acknowledges that this bias against gays might be cultural, but then sorta handwaves it away in order to prompt the discussion that it might be an evolutionary thing.

>>339468680
You think there will be alternate outfits?
versus outfits would be pretty cool alts
>>339468994
They already confirmed there will be alt outfits. Noctis gets Regis's suit for example.
>>339468368
I'm definitely have it mixed up, because I recall now the study I read referred to events at a NYC gay pride parade that occured after 1996. Part of the support for the hypothesis was the obvious fact that promiscuous unprotected homosex is obviously dangerous due to constantly bombarding your immune system with different kinds of infections. During the parade numerous gays slowly wore down and collapsed in exhaustion unable to call for help, caused by a particular bacterial infection that spread through the NYC gay community like wildfire and attacked their already weakened immune systems. Several fatalities. Now imagine how well this sort of thing worked out before modern medicine.
Besides that line of thought, they also employed numerous surveys like Gallup did. There were a lot of details about the surveys, but to keep it succinct I'll just say that straight men were obviously the majority in people who had an inexplicable bias against homosexual males.
>>339468994
>>339451308
So everyone just lets him dress like this because he's the prince, right?
>>339469098
That looks like something a Panic At The Disco band member would wear
>>339469437
No it looks like something a king would wear.
>>339469382
>lets him
if anything they probably imitate him. Nobility tend to be the trendsetters
>>339469382
He dresses like that because he rejects the rigid rules of the royal family and acts as he pleases. His main character development is going to be about him becoming king and learning the responsibility that comes with it.
So he starts off bratty but will become a man.
>>339451308
>male
sissy-faggots =/= male

So, Lion King meets Sex Drive.
Thanks, now I won't have to buy the game.
>why don't you want to play fashion models wearing fashion design product placement running around the wilderness
Because that's stupid.
>>339469587
>will become a man
I hope the surgery goes well.
>>339469745
We've known for like 10 years that the basic framework of the story is similar to LionKing/Hamlet meets FF.
>>339469867
The royal family in XV have a curse on them that rapidly ages them when they are king. Noctis once he is king will be rapidly aging into an old man. It's the same reason why Regis looks 50 even though he's in his 30s in the flashbacks, and looks like he's in his 60s despite being in his 40s in the main game.
>>339469991
why?
>>339470082
Because gaining access to the crystals magic drains them of their lifeforce and vitality.
>>339469867
kek
noice
I don't know why people throw around the fact that they look like a boy band as an insult. I for one would find it great if the game would be about a boy band who are also super awesome fighters with their flying car. Why wouldn't it work? The boy band sections would certainly ease up all the angst from the dramatic parts
>>339451308
Yes it bothers me
Why am I bothered you may ask?
Because it's 2016 *mikedrop
>>339470192
>>339470257
Samefag.
>>339469867
Irony considering out of every FF pretty boy MC Noctis is the one that actually looks like a male.
>>339470324
Who's the cute girl on the bottom right?
>>339470324
faces dont matter when neckbeards get triggered by his hair style
>>339470240
considering X-2 was about a pop stars and had the best gameplay since the franchise left 2D, I'm stoked
>>339470357
>o-oh man he got me
>Q-quick let me just say he's a girl again, t-that'll get him!?
Guess you haven't even heard his voice which makes him sound like he's 30.

>>339470505
Thanks man.
>>339470324
I was gonna complain about Cecil but then I remembered the dark knights were mentioned as being unable to remove their armor, so the helmet looking grafted to his face makes sense
There's no legitimate reason for it to be all-male other than fujoshi bait. Just having a single one of them be female would have fixed things but they decided on a yaoi road trip instead
>>339470324
>everything past XII
I hated the designs at first but after playing episode duscae it doesn't bother me so much. Their interaction with each other is good. FFXV being good is another story, they've ruined the combat since duscae. Here's hoping they go back to the better combat system. If not it'll be a shit game.
>>339471589
Noctis is easily superior in design to previous FF pretty boys.
>>339471683
>they've ruined the combat since duscae.
The fuck? They only improved it while adding things to what was already in duscae. The only thing that was in duscae that is no longer there is the auto weapon switch which is now manual weapon switch.
>>339471826
nah he's a real fuccboi
>>339471965
Less than any other FF protag. Refer to >>339470324
>>339472167
Nah. I bet he gives good succ tho
>>339472259
succ of the booby sure
>>339472259
Nah. He's really manly.
