New Kingsglaive FFXV characters detailed in Famitsu and Dengeki scans.
The motorcycle chick in Kingslgaive is Crowe Altius.
The other Glaives are
>Nyx Ulric
>Luche Lazarus
>Libertus Ostium
>Drautos
>>338842029
Oh and the painting of the death goddess Etro that we saw in the Versus trailers can be seen here.
>>338842117
Those were Famitsu scans. This is the Degenki scans, pretty much the same thing btw.
>>338842242
Forgot pic.
>>338841872
Kingsglaive?
What is that?
That's it for the scans.
There is going to be an FFXV makings of documentary uploaded in about 1 or 2 hours I believe.

Final Fantasy XV intro movie.

*psst*
hey kid!
*teleports behind you*
Nothing personel
>>338841872
Oh fug
Claimed
They look too realistic. They look nothing like game FFXV. The styles clash too hard. Also Luna barely looks like game Luna. Why? This feels like Spirit Within.
>>338842878
The movie intentionally looks more realistic. It's just like Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion having different art style but still being out in the same year and still believable and consistent.
>This feels like Spirit Within.
How? This is a movie that is part of FFXV's story and runs parallel to it. Sprits Within was just a movie that had the FF name slapped to it
>>338842878
It looks close enough but still realistic. It's that sweet spot of fantasy based on reality.
>>338842346
Oh shit just noticed giant spider monster.
>>338842029
Is that Christian Bale?
>>338842117
Why is Luna flat here? In the game she isn't flat.
>>338841872
I'd fug the motorcycle chick.
>>338842029
>Luche Lazarus
Sounds like a wrestler.
>>338842878
She still looks identifiable as Luna in the movie but I agree it does look realistic.
I own Advent Children and Spirits Within on Blu Ray and I'll get this too
>>338843796
This shot makes her look older. You'd think she was Luna's mom instead.
>no nigger in sight
i fucking love japan
>>338842117
I forgot to mention but episode 2 of Brotherhood is about Prompto and his childhood.
MY DICK
>>338842872
right?
>>338843796
she looks better t b h
>>338841872
>Crowe Attlius
>looks like Russell Crowe
Amazing
>>338844185
White people age like shit so it makes sense.
>>338844498
Crowe Altius is this chick.
Russel Crowe looking dude are both Libertus and Drautos.
>>338844595
but the game takes place afterwards, so she gets younger?
Hey these characters actually look good, and not like a faggot kpop band.
>>338844682I already knew that anon. She looks like Russell Crowe
>>338841872
>More eyesore sticks-out-like-a-sore-thumb woman that was clearly added after the fact
Fuck women, fuck women in action roles
>nyggas ntr luna
kill
>>338844985
So literally every girl in any JRPG?
>>338844985
senpai if you didnt think this wasnt going to be a thing you were sorely mistaken
let me guess you're watching this for the story too lol
>>338845103
>>338845086
It is disgusting, revolting, sickening and disingenuous, how can you accept this so readily you dickless piece of shit?
>>338844985
The movie was in production since 2013 m8.
>>338842117
I just realised in Episode Duscae the driver is at the right side like in Japan but after that they changed it to left side already.
>>338844185
Yeah the new magazine scans looks better, this one really looks bad.
>>338845206
You are a naive fool if you think crowe was there in the original drafts.
>>338845195
That there is a female character that isn't a doorknob?
>disingenuous
To what?
>>338845217
They changed the car driving side left side in May last year, it was something to do with guns.
>>338845389
he wants the story to be some bland sausagefest because he's a fucking homo
>>338845335
Why? Do you even know how long CGI takes to make? Let alone a feature film?
>>338845389
That there is a shoehorned woman only added to avoid backlash for not pointlessly including women characters
>>338842029
the guy at the back of the topmost pic reminds me of hothead
>>338845556
Before it was a film it was a script and a story board
One that no doubt did not have Crowe in it.
>>338845195
>>338845335
Is this XV-kun again?
>>338845601
But how is she shoehorned in? Why is she there to avoid backlash?
She was in the first trailer we ever saw of the movie, how is she shoehorned in?
>>338845673
Was thinking the same thing
There is a dude here that looks like skinnier Chris Hemsworth >>338841949
>>338844682
Drautos is the human bean you retard
>>338845683
Where is your proof? CGI takes years to make, Kingsglaive started in 2013. That includes casting, modeling, motion capture, animating then VFX, voice mixing, sound.
>>338845683
FF7 originally didn't have Tifa in it, what's your point?
>>338845601
She's a mage, by the way. If she were shoehorned for cheap "strong womyn" points, you'd expect her to be some super strong fighter.
>>338845736
She is in a game that was previously depicted as a very male focused game that actually refused to have a female character in the party because of how it would influence the characters into acting less naturally
>>338845995
Common fucking sense, the script existed first
>>338846115
And tifa is a worthless blight that exists just to distrat horny idiots, what is your fucking point?
>>338846132
I don't care if she's mage or fighter, she is still an eyesore and sticks out like a sore thumb
>>338842029
They missed the biggs and wedge opportunity.
What.The.Fuck.
>>338846480
But she's in the movie, not the game.
>>338846513
They'd be in the game as one of the low level lucis soldiers or something.
>>338841872
If Square thinks I'll watch a shitty CGI movie to understand half the story of a game they can fuck off.
>>338846480
>the script existed first
Yeah the script that would have had her in it, which is why she is in it now.
You have no proof, while the only fact is that she was in the first ever trailer for the movie and on the first ever poster for the movie.
Drautos is Sean Bean and Nyx is Ben Affleck.

This is going to bomb so hard. They're trying to fuse anime bombast and REALISM together and it looks awkward and strange. Media will hate it and general crowds will pass and maybe laugh at it. It's the reverse of when western animation studios copy anime. Japanese code lyoko or whatever your cancer of choice is...
>>338846639
Is this going to be in theaters or is this str?aight to DVD like those garbage RE vidya movies
>>338846639
They said you don't need to watch Kingsglaive to understand anything in XV, it can be watched stand alone. The events of the movie happen in the game too, only the movie is from Regis's perspective while the game is from Noctis's.
>shitty CGI
You mean the best CGI in any CGI film to date?
>>338846639
>implying you won't watch it just to shit on it anyway because you are a miserable faggot with no life
ITS FRIDAY
>>338842117
I want to fuck Luna.
How come Squeenix can make a full CGI movie but Blizzard cant?
Fuck that Warcraft movie, cheap fucks.
>>338846948
>implying you can't shit on something just by copy pasting comments made from losers that actually wasted their time watching it.

How? It looks good and the CGI is the best CGI I've ever seen in a movie.
>Media will hate it and general crowds will pass and maybe laugh at it.
Is that why every reaction to it was people staring in awe at the CGI and wanting to know more about what's happening?
>>338842716
NANI!?
>>338846927
It's bretty gud. I'd say almost on par with Michael Bay's studios CGI.
Say what you will about that TMNT movie but the Turtles looked really good. To be fair though they didn't CGI any humans and SE isn't CGI any giant mutants
>>338847053

>>338846862
Seems like outside Japan they trying to get selected screenings in selected countries, but most probably it's by streaming or we need to buy DVD.
Advent Children was straight to DVD, they never showed it in theaters.
>>338847173
The thing about CGI in live action is that it creates a disconnect. You can always tell when something is CG in liveaction. In a movie that is fully CGI everything flows together because everything is CGI.
I remember people thinking this was a live action movie at first and still questioning if it was CGI and live action blend by the end of the trailer. There's reactions on youtube.
>>338847256
Dude is part of royal security detail/special force. He can't exactly be useless.
>>338847457
In some countries outside Japan they show anime movies in cinema now, so I'd say this could too since Sony is publishing it.
>>338847217
Nah, I'd have a more enjoyable time browsing /v/ than seeing some movie made by soulless japanese flesh robots that pretend to understand human emotion.
>>338846842
Advent Children sold like gangbusters on DVD and Blu-ray, I think this will do fine.
>>338842117
So what? They change Stella/Luna once a year?
>>338842556
It's up
http://ign.com/videos/2016/05/25/10-years-in-the-making-the-long-road-to-final-fantasy-xv
>>338847707
Everything we know suggests they changed Stella into Luna in 2013, when Versus became FFXV. That's it.
>>338847470
>The thing about CGI in live action is that it creates a disconnect.
I can agree with that. Studios have gotten better but it takes a keen director to meld things together smoothly.
>I remember people thinking this was a live action movie at first and still questioning if it was CGI and live action blend by the end of the trailer.
Yeah people did this with TSW. And I admit there were some shots were it makes you question it especially if the lighting and angle hide the weak points but we haven't gotten to the point where it's interchangeable with real life actors. Not yet. IMO it's usually the animation/movement of the characters and fabric that are telling.
Still looks pretty good though
>>338847707
>Still insisting on calling her Stella
Fuck off Stellafag.
>>338847457
>Advent Children was straight to DVD, they never showed it in theaters.
True and this movie is similar in that it's an add-on/spinoff of an existing game rather than a stand alone story.
>>338847883
I know that. But still, this scan of her still looks really different from the other scans of Lunas. Like her eyes were more greyish blue, now they are a really pronounced blue on that one shot plus her figure looks different.
>>338847981
That wasn't even the point.
>>338847719
fugg some nice footage in there
By the way IGN confirm their footage was all from a Pre-Alpha build.
>>338841872
Woah holy bara!
>>338841872
Boy I sure hope FFXV doesn't totally flop otherwise all this spinoff shit is going to be a HUGE waste of everyone's time and Square's money
Like the devs must think XV's plot is REALLY good to have all of these extra things with ultra-high production values before anyone's even touched the full game
>>338847719
Oh shit their clothes change based on the weather.
>Make everyone in movie white
>Make everyone in game asian
>>338848671
Looks like it. First time we see Ignis and Noctis without their jackets.
>>338848603
It'll sell at least 4 million easy. Marketing will be high for it.
Not sure about the movie though
>>338848846
This is asian? If anything everyone in the game looks white besides Noctis who looks halfcast.
>>338848671
I thought they just took off their jackets because they are helping Cindy or something.
>>338848603
The movie is funded and published by Sony, and the anime by the same people doing the Persona anime.
Yeah after that IGN video I'm convinced that the game will get easy tens across the board. The team has played witcher 3 and last of us and plan to top it all. Footage looks way better.
>>338848603
This game's 10 years of development and FFXIV 1.0 already a huge waste of Square Enix's money anyway, might as well go all out with this one.
>>338847719
This footage looks much better than the other stuff GI uploaded.
>>338842117
Loona looks indefinitely better here than here >>338844185
>>338847719
The new gameplay isn't bad but that UI triggers me still
>>338844185
Dumb as fuck, and blind as hell
>>338847719
Looks like they added in a stamina bar for sprinting
>>338849327
GI is beta footage, IGN is pre-alpha footage.
>>338844185
would fuck
>>338849467
Pre-alpha
Pre-Beta
Final Product.
>B- b- your wrong pre-beta = final product
Fuckers doubted square didnt you.
Oh yay, actual female characters that we can possibly have in the party? Would be great to have, since it's been looking like a pure sausage fest ever since the first trailer.
>>338849467
Both are pre-alpha.
Heck, GI's one had it say in plain text on top of the footage
>>338849467
Yeah, I'm assuming that GI's was last year's, while this is clearly stated to be 2016.
I hope we can take the jackets off ingame too, n-no homo.
>>338849594
>hi im sexually insecure
>>338849467
But the Pre-beta footage GI had would have been from the Oct 2015 Pre-beta build. While IGN stuff says it's 2016 Pre-Alpha. So IGN probably meant 2016 Pre-beta. There is more additions in the IGN footage too that weren't in the GI footage like the stamina bar.
>>338846705
NOt the original, the original would have likely never had included Crowe, but then the execs looked at it, saw it had no female character, fretted that the sjws would tear it a new one, and forced a rewrite, and now she is going to ruin scenes that were initially written without her
>>338846520
So? It doesn't make it any less awkwardly shoed in.
>>338849687
Ignis actually looks better like that.
Noctis' jacket would be cool if it wasn't as autistically long as it is (which is the opposite problem with his pants).
>>338849687
GI said in their podcast they went to SE to play the game on January or February I believe
>>338849467
IGN probably just fucked up the labeling. Their footage shows various stuff that wasn't there in the older footage (magic synthesis, removable jackets etc.).
They really like to emphasize on open world, grandness and environments. I just hope it's not a barren wasteland with a POI here and there
>>338849704
They added the stamina bar after GI left. One of the staff reassured GI that they are adding the stamina bar after GI complained about the stamina run out.
>>338849594
There is a girl we see with the party in the car, and they said that there is a female party member who joins.
>>338850031
Yuffie?
>>338849773
His jacket has the bottom part as removable. You can see this on the Roen website it's attached with clip buttons
https://roen-ff15.com/en/html/products/detail.php?product_id=16
>>338849232
And Sony has such a stellar reputation in movies...
>>338849804
Yeah that's when they played it but the build was still the Oct 2015 pre-beta build. Like I can go play Episode Duscae right now but it's still a March 2015 build.
>>338849006
if they sell 4m they might almost break even on the years of dev costs, movie costs, famous actor VA costs, anime costs, and god knows what the fuck else they spent a couple mil on
>>338850241
Spiderman 1 did well.
>>338850241
published by sony not produced by sony
>>338850031
They didn't say that, they said that a fifth temporary party member (like in XII) could join the party, whether that character be Cor, Luna, Genitalia...
That woman is probably one of the people you can help out in the road, or a sidequest.
>>338850241
Oh, didn't know that. I hope that, apart from alt clothes, we can alter them (at least the main ones).
The footage was taken here around early April. You can see the dates on the devs desktop
>>338850375
Seems so fucking long ago, now. How do you fuck up an IP as badly as Sony fucked up Spider-Man?
>>338850031
I never understand why people make a big deal that's there no playable female character, when only Noctis is the only playable one and the rest is AI-controlled.
Horrible jaggies and draw distance still
>>338850393
Meant to quote >>338850204, not the Sony post.
>>338848603
FFXV is probably the weirdest AAA game I've ever seen. It's being marketed like crazy. Tabata & Co keeps bragging about how they modernized themselves. How FFXV is for the international audience.
And then the main party looks like Asian Backstreet Boys. What the fuck? How do you pour 100 million dollars into a AAA game but insist on going with a party that alienates huge markets? In some ways, I admire the balls. In other ways, I can't but feel loss just how out of touch SE developers are.
>inb4 XV-kun rant that they are totally manly and bro
Why? Why among all the UIs they choose to implement and show-off the ugliest looking one.
God I hope they're switchable
>>338849687
Is this a PSP game?
No wait, Crisis Core actually looked better.
>>338850513
>>inb4 XV-kun rant that they are totally manly and bro
That's fucking right though, it is infinitely better than shitty, moronic, bitches awkwardly inserted to please waifufags and feminists.
The Kingsglaive members all dagger users? Seems strange they didn't go with the typical everyone uses a different weapon theme most jRPG groups go for.
>>338850513
the main cast being all dudes is like the absolute bottom of the list of things wrong with FFXV, don't know why people keep bringing it up. Cidney hasn't suddenly stopped existing just because she isn't swinging a sword.
>>338850513
They are bro though
Aside from Prompto all of them behave pretty manly and bro-ish towards each other.
It's their costumes design that gives the impression.
Also, are we still gonna call him FFXV-kun or bazztek now that he's been exposed?
>>338850513
Because that's their original design and it's impossible to change now at this stage. People already mad about Stella becomes Luna, imagine the backlash if Tabata altered their design too.
>>338850703
It's not that they're all dudes. It's that they're all boy-band members. They also clash with the setting since everyone else are wearing suits, regal clothing or casual clothing. Nobody is wearing fucking boy band shit.
>>338844185
>>338849328
>You guys never look ugly from a certain angle
jej
>>338850513
They thought if they changed the desgin it would lead to a huge backlash from fans. Noctis and co already had a huge amount of fans and fanart so they stuck with them.
game still looks incredibly rough

Doesn't matter really. But XV-kun is probably easier for people who don't keep up with these threads.
>>338850776
>>338850820
That's fair I guess but the weird part is that they did change some of the party members. And they made them look worse. Like they looked fine in the Versus trailers and suddenly XV came and they looked really weird. Prompto for instance looked like a regular chap in the Versus trailers.
>>338850806
It's pretty obvious you are upset they are all dudes. If one of them was a girl in the exact same clothes you would not be making all these claims.

COR
>>338846957
FUCKING NIGGER YOU STOLED MY JOKE
>>338850806
So do the party members. Both Noctis and Ignis can wear formal suits.
>>338850806
>They also clash with the setting since everyone else are wearing suits
The soldiers and royalty and shit are wearing uniforms, and the road-trip bros aren't, wow, amazing observation.
>>338851081
These changes were done back in Versus tho
Something about partnership with Roen
It's been awhile
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ7MwTXYLpg
>>338851097
For fucks sake, do you even remember FFX-2? Of course people complained about that too since the main party was basically Spice Girls.
Can anyone rip the video in good quality and post mega link so that I can comprise all the new gameplay and make some webms?
>>338851081
M8, he looked outright anorexic in that first trailer. And that wasn't even his Versus look, it was a temporary design that Nomura used while he was trying to figure out the final look. It was dumped in 2009.

I said a CUTE!
>>338845335
On many occasions I have been right there with you regarding the forced inclusion of a female character-- it was bothering me throughout Better Call Saul for example
but in this case i think you are just being a bit of a femme-phobe.
>>338850980
Cidney has been the best part of FFXV.

Why the fuck do all the characters in this movie look like rejects from an Assassin's Creed game or some other generic Western AAA property? If the next FF looks like this instead of XV's Japan-West fusion, I'm gonna flip a shit. It'll prove Squeenix learned nothing from Japan trying to pander to Western gamers last gen.
>>338851491
What's wrong with her face?!
>>338851754
The movie is apparently intended to get westerners interested in FFXV. SE apparently doesn't realize that western players just want FF aswell and not Ass Creed with the FF name. It's kinda depressing. But I doubt it will affect XVI since SE artists have established styles.
>>338850897
Is that the royal ring on his hand?
>>338851892
>>338851754
They're just played by white actors, you fags. This should save us from the awkward Jap body language that everyone complains about in Nip games.
>>338852141
But DMC games are also played by white actors and the designs are fine in those games.
>>338851892
At least we got Brotherhood to appeal to our weeb sensibilities
>>338852234
>posts a PS2 model
I bet some people here would whine that Uncle Dante looked generic too.
>>338849594
>>338850472
Not to say that having a varied cast is bad or anything, but I actually think not having any girls in the party is a good thing. The last time an FF game had a playable cast of all the same gender was X-2, and things like the hot springs scene in that game made it feel like they were written just to pander to waifufags. The guys in XV feel more like actual people in comparison with things like how they banter among each other and stuff.
>>338852407
Dante is stylish as fuck in DMC4 though. Great design.
YO XBOX MAKE MY CHARACTER SURVIVE
>>338851736
>>338850393
>An example, 4Gamer notes, is from Episode Duscae where Ignis and Noctis share a moment from their childhoods under the stars. If a female character were with Noctis instead, Tabata feels the scene would have been quite different. “If a female character joins the boys on their journey, then a lot of things may change. In fact a female character does join up later as a guest and the four main characters change their attitude – they can’t help it! But this also shows how the characters are alive.”
>>338851736
I didn't say that girl was the female party member, just that there is one who is confirmed to join. Also we don't know who that girl is.
>>338841872
She looks exactly like someone but I just can't put my finger on who it is.

Prompto's 2013 design was what his design was in 2011 Versus too, it was already changed back in 2011. Since then they only changed his hair and face a bit.
>>338852692
And that's what I said, that any female (or male) character that joins the four guys is going to be temporary.
Tabata said that Luna won't be one, but I could see him lying to keep the surprise intact, much like ND denied that Ellie was going to be controllable in TLOU.
I really doubt that girl is a guest member, though, but who knows. And she can be seen with a kid playing darts in the four main character's hotel room in the Progress Report.
>>338852416
X-2 was directed by Toriyama, so yeah, it was pandering to a literal waifufag.
>>338850806
But they do get formal clothes. And the entire point is that they stand out in their surroundings because they aren't from there. They fit right in with everyone else in Insomnia.
>>338852848
To be honest, only Noctis looks like a chink (and well, Luna's features in the game are more Asian than in the film).
The thing that sticks out is the differences in haircuts and even clothes (especially Noctis and Prompto's). I actually kinda hope that we get Noctis' placeholder costume as a bonus, or maybe an armour-like costume.
>>338843061
>The only time characters can wear fantasy looking clothes is when square panders to westerners
Are there alternate costumes in the game in the style?
>>338851491
Hot.
>>338852848
What Japanese characters? The only one who might look vaguely mixed is Noctis, but even that is mostly because of his Nomura haircut.
>>338851754
But they look like western characters designed by Japananese who had western mocapped actors mixed with some JRPG flair.
>all those handsome guys in the King's Glaive
porn when
>>338853086
We don't know yet. They said that there were going to be (but who knows how many, and how many of them as DCL).
So far, only Noctis' formal suit has been revealed.
In the characters' menu, there's a slot saying "Attire". Whether that's regarding the clothing itself or another kind of item (or both) is unkown.
>>338851892
Fuck off sweedcuck.
>>338852234
And the designs are fine in Kingsglaive too.
>>338853105
To be honest, Noctis kinda looks Japanese in his features. Or a half-gook, more like. The hair further fuels his Asianness.
The rest look pretty Caucasian to me, though (in terms of race features. If we're talking about clothes and hairstyles, no).
>>338853259
making the screen look like an actual stage seems a bit... huh. i guess it's hard since i'm now biased and blown away by P5's menus that seeing things like this just makes me shrug.
>>338849290
They apparently made their doosh back with the reboot of that game. That and Eidos games have sold well for them particularly TReboot and Deus Ex 3. The FF13 games have made profit for them as well.
>>338852452
They confirmed that is a Zu.
>>338853259
Do we know what Talents are?
>>338852848
Everyone in the game looks white except for Noctis who looks halfcast.
>>338853424
I think the menu (as it looks NOW, it could change) it's pretty bland, but kind of like the minimalistic white room feel. They have to improve it, though.
I wouldn't want Persona 5's menu in here (as much as I love how it looks). It doesn't really fit in XV, although I would have really wanted to have the main characters have their portrait being their actual concept art, like in most FFs.
>>338852568
>gay cowboy
>good
No. DMC1 and DMC2 Dante are superior designs.
>>338850031
gotchu pham
>>338853259
>All these weapons and magic avaialble
>Only 4 slots for all of them
FFS
>>338853428
And they're making 200+ million profits every year thanks to their mobile business. SE can afford the marketing just fine.
>>338852935
And? How does that change the fact that they are still joining as party members? Beatrix was temporary too but I don't see people acting like she doesn't exist.
>>338853259
PROMOTION
>>338853579
I like Noctis and all of that, but man, I wish we could have a FF with a main character like Cor.
Maybe deage him a little bit (although he doesn't really look 42, he looks a bit younger than that), but yeah. Although I know people might consider him to be too bland, but I really like the design (except for his stripper boots).
>>338853259
I wish it would just be an infinite white room, the whole stage look looks like an unfinished placeholder
Also
>only 4 slots for all that shit
They should just make another 4 slots that show up by holding one of the shoulder buttons
>>338853584
oh no i agree i just meant it makes any current ui i look at seem bland in comparison, but even that, yeah this here seems quite lacking to me. I miss that too, would love to see the art portraits again.
>>338853259
I wonder if weapon ranks only influence their stats or movesets and abilities as well
>>338842117
I want her to dominate me with those heels on.
>>338853604
Go to bed, Tameem.
>>338853669
Why would SE bother making console games when they have a mobile division making them ten times as much for a quarter of the investment?
>>338853086
Have you even seen anything for this game?
This game will never be ready for release
>>338853813
Because there are companies that still like making real games?
>>338853671
I didn't say that, anon (I actually had said that temporary guest members like in XII was a thing here).
I said that I PERSONALLY don't think that that Yuffie-like girl is joining as a temporary guest member and think that she might be a sidequest character that won't fight.
But that's obviously just a guess and she might as well be, for all we know.
>>338853259
Minimalist and to the point. How menu screens should be.
>>338853782
Not much point making static portraits when their attire is customisable.
>>338853880
>he thinks shareholders give a single fuck about interests
They'll replace the CEO in no time if he insists on investing in business sections that don't yield satisfactory profit.
>>338853782
Call me a nostalgia-fag, but the blue colour in the menus with the characters' portraits with Nomura's art would have been great.
Which reminds me that we haven't seen concept art of the main characters (we have seen the Christmas postcard and all that, but yeah). I don't think Nomura's art translates that well in a 3D game, so I really want to see them (for example, I hate Tidus, but I kinda like his concept art).
>>338853259
>Default menu still have a blue-ish tint
>all that FF6 in the video
Good thing that at least Tabata knows that FF6 is the best one up until now
>>338854009
By that logic, all devs should abbandon AAA gamedev and switch to mobiles exclusively.
But from recent memory only Konami did that and they're hated by everyone, so it's not that simple
>>338853813
Because everyone and their dog can make mobile trash, but only a few Japanese companies can do high-profile games. The mobile bubble might burst and then what?
Any reason why the majority of the characters wear black clothes?
>>338853259
In the last frame we can see just how many weapon classes we have in the game:
1. Swords and sabers.
2. Broadswords.
3. Spears and lances.
4. Daggers.
5. Guns.
6. Shields.
7. Magic?
8. Shurikens and weapons like that.
9. Magic staffs.
>>338854139
They don't abandon consoles because they're still making millions on consoles and mobile is a high-risk market not always worth the cost. I'm just saying that if SE is making so much more on mobile than console, then they're going to invest less and less into AAA games as time goes on. Maybe that will be for the best.
>>338854082
is the character artist nomura? the christmas pic, etc looks like a totally different artist to me, plus the pencilling technique. i rather like that style
>>338844185
>this
>ugly
what the fuck, am I being memed?
>>338854338
Apparently it's a contract they've signed with some clothes designer/manufacturer. I don't think they can change them as they please now.
>>338854380
>>338854082
Christmas art was drawn by Yusuke Naora the art director.
>>338854404
she looks like she has down syndrome
>>338854532
Ok thanks, yeah I actually really like Naora's style. I wouldnt mind that if no Nomura portraits.
>>338854338
Something about black being a signature colour of their country. Although it became inconsistent as fuck. Compared to Noctis and co, Regis and Kingsglaives don't retain this element as much
>>338854380
He was the director (then codirector) and yes, character designer (not all characters, Roberto Ferrari also designed some, like the redheaded dude).
What I meant is that I fucking despise Tidus' look in FFX, but still kinda like his concept art, ridiculous clothes aside. Nomura's characters' facial features and hairstyles (combined with a subpar Japanese acting and body movement) don't translate all that well in a semi-realistic 3D game.
>>338854338
The color black is culturally aligned to their kingdom.
>>338854404
Looks like a methwhore
>>338854404
It's just weebs being weebs.
All this time, and nothing on Gentiana.
She really is just a background character, isn't she?
This is probably the only game i would get a Neo for. The engine is just too much for consoles so they have to set LOD, draw distance, shadow quality and textures to low or medium at best and the game still doesn't run perfectly and still has pretty much no AA
I hope the Neo fixes a few of those issues, at least the framerate
>>338854128
He has the best taste in SE. No wonder Sakaguchi likes him.
>>338854743
She was probably meant to be more important back then, since she got her own CG image in the 2013 trailer. Maybe they had to change her for reasons or time constrains
>>338853487
No
>>338853660
They should allow 8 weapons like people have said.
>>338853783
I hear weapons can rank up and attain new skills or improve their existing ones.
>>338854363
1Swords/Rapier
2Greatsword/Claymore
3Spear/Pilebunker/Lance
4Daggers
5Guns/Bazookas
6Shields
7Gears weapons (no idea)
8Phantom Arms, uses mp can come in any form Shurikens, Crossbows, Axes, etc
9Magic.
Aresenal is jam packed ladies and gents.
>>338854782
He also said that his favourite game is Dragon Quest 3 and old Civ games.
I'm actually kind of surprised that, despite this design being practically the same with subtle differences, I really like the right design even if I really dislike the one on the left.
Best Luna/Stella/Blonde FF VS XIII/XV Female Character has ever looked, tbqhwyf. Although I really like 2009's Stella, as well.

>>338854363
GI also noted crossbows, axes, various firearms, and "machines" that they weren't allowed to see yet.
>>338854743
>>338854862
Tabata said during gamescom that they are purposely not talking about her because she is supposed to be mysterious in the game, so they want to keep that mystery.
She was featured in the TGS key visual.
>>338854862
pisses me off since i find her whole design far more interesting than a lot of the latest reveals.
Ah well, that's what happens I guess when a game takes 10 years to develop.
>>338854970
I meant that I really like the left one, not the right one.
>>338854680
>>338854731
what the fuck no, she looks beautiful where the fuck do you even see that
>>338855172
just google image search methwhore
she looks exactly like that
>>338854970
Whoever made that didn't align it well enough.
>>338854862
I guess XV is going to have a lot of characters like hot librarian in FFXIII. Characters that are being blown out of proportion in trailers only to have small roles in the game.
>>338855172
They only like smooth dolls with anime eyes and chinky features, apparently.
The only thing that I don't really like about LenaLuna is her jaw, and even then it's not that bad at all. And >>338844185 is also a bad pic of her in the movie.
>>338855058
>knight armor
>guns
No.
>>338855079
Refer to >>338855058
>>338855243
Looks nothing even remotely close.
She looks like Apple from Turbo kid.
>>338854619
>Compared to Noctis and co, Regis and Kingsglaives don't retain this element as much
They're all wearing mostly black except for Drautos.
>>338855259
Oh, that's a nice one, thanks anon.
I think a big part is the hair, looking much more natural and making her face looks less round. Also the more realistic and smaller eyes.
Is that going to be her casual outfit? Still looks like it might be a dress, so I don't know.
>>338851526
My mother was a miserable awful amoral bitch, don't you bring her up
>>338851442
It is not a phobia, I do not fear them, I fucking despise them for being so ungodly awful and being allowed to get away with it because they're women,
stealth confirmedI dunno if they already mentioned this but yeah
>>338853424
>i guess it's hard since i'm now biased and blown away by P5's menus
You mean that clusterfuck?
>>338855276
>Characters that are being blown out of proportion in trailers only to have small roles in the game.
Aranea's supposed to show up a lot in the game and they haven't shown much of Gentiana at all.Holy shit, Jihl was such a waste of a design.
>>338855346
>>338855058
ah yeah, i meant we haven't gotten so much as a cg render of her updated design nor any mention during the unveil.
i get she's suppose dto be "mysterious" but i'd have been so happy to see any new image or footage of her... i don't think that'd spoil her story at all.
>>338855323
But yes. The entire point is that you have modern men in black suits and black modern clothes fighting with fantasy swords and crystals magic, and that contrasts with their enemies in knights armor and white robes who use magitek weapons and guns.
>>338855558
SNEAKY
>>338855464
That's the 5th outfit we've seen Luna wearing so far.
>>338855574
we're not talking about battleborn.
>>338854404
Weebs and their anime views.
>>338855639
Which is plain illogical, considering the ludicrous upper hand of one side. So fuck this shit.
>>338855436
Looks like a methwhore
>>338855558
So we can get sneaky preemptive attacks, neat.
>>338855587
So far we've only got renders of people we meet literally an hour into the game. Gentiana is obviously not one of them.
>>338855587
Yeah well it was only today that we saw the first ever shot of game Luna in CG. And only last month that we saw the updated Prompto design in CG renders.
>>338855812
Guns/technology vs magic is a long time recurring battle in FF
>>338855639
>bad guys wear white, good guys wear black
Its like pottery
I really dig the character designs for Kingsglaive, it's a shame that all the unique characters for it will inevitably be dead by the end of the movie. Hopefully Nyx appears in the game even just briefly, that'd be neat.
>>338855604
Really interested to see how staffs will play out in battle considering how magic works in the game.
>>338855812
Why do you think a war is happening? What do you even think the story is?
>>338855812
One sides has a shitload of robots and guns, the other side has hax magic. They seem pretty evenly matched, all things considered.
Seems like weapon skills still consume MP despite being directional inputs
>>338855323
That's nothing new
We also had knights on mechas in earlier games
Some stills from the new footage. I'd've done webms but the clips in question are so short and stringing them together would've resulted in massive compression artifacts so yeah
I wanna believe this is just preliminary stuff while they optimize and work out the kinks, but imo this looks markedly worse than the earlier footage
>>338855971
Notice how Ardyn is the only one from Niflheim political side that wears black.
>>338855971
In Asia, white is usually attributed to evil/bad guys. Especially in Wuxia/Chinese stories
>>338855990
They said he wouldn't appear. Although of course, they could be lying.
I don't see him being in the game, though. Maybe some reference or something, but outside of Luna, Regis and some Niflheim people, Kingsglave's characters are just movie-only, seems like.
>>338856053
>What do you even think the story is?
Stupid. And mostly generic.
>>338855990
A few months ago on FFXV IMDB page someone listed Crowe as being a character in the game, also D.C Douglas voicing a character named Weskham Armaugh.
So Crowe might be in the game.
>>338856171
Silly anon, he's so clearly a bad guy turning good he's already dressed like Noctis' people.
>>338856151
>that bottom screen
Still hurts. Why did they have to replace Cidney just because sexy?
>>338855478
>My mother was a miserable awful amoral bitch
>It is not a phobia, I do not fear them, I fucking despise them
These two things are surely not connected at all, though. I didn't get along with my mother either living in poverty but at least I know I can restrain myself from projecting my issues with her onto all women
>>338856256
So you were just shitposting.
I don't get why people still care about it after we saw (and played) the battle system.
>>338856213
Not really relevant in FFXV, which is inspired mainly by Western mythology. The "good guys" also associate themselves with light, so it's not that simple.

?
>>338856439
Because i've been following the development for since the first V13 trailer and i won't stop now
>>338856151
It looks worse than MGSV without the smooth 60 fps.
>>338856464
k, just telling you that there is a precedent in it, and seeing as how it's non-Western developers that this can apply.
>>338856315
I think that was the point he was trying to make, especially seeing as he appears to act as an ally/guide in the latest footage
>>338856439
It has potential to be something good in the end, and PD was only a chunk of it
>>338856348
U wot m8?
>>338856439
It played great for a stripped down and barebones version of the system, and what we've seen in trailers is showing lots more stuff.
>>338856348
That's her grandpa. She’s still around hammerhead.
>>338856562
It doesn't, and this is prealpha footage.
>>338856439
I think the new battle system's fine, PD wasn't a particularly good demo but the combat itself is pretty solid.
>>338856151
We'll see at E3 probably, they'll likely have a playable build of the game there, and hopefully a relatively recent one.
>>338856572
Yeah, I didn't read his reply or what he was quoting, btb killing myself.
Also, Cid sure is a turbomanlet in this game. Fits his design.
>>338856562
Besides jaggies? I think FFXV looks better.
>>338855990
I think staffs are just the icon for spells.

If I can put Noctis into some fucking armor it'll be my GOTY
>>338856841
Ground Zeroes which was released a year before MGSV looks much better than FFXV does now, just four months before release. It's obvious that SE aren't keeping up with the competition.
>>338856151
Seriously what happened to the GI? It's especially apparent in the second image. Also the self-shadowing on Cidney(from the cap) seems to be using some funky hull/voxel approximation or something??
>>338857109
I thought that looked more like a gear. What it represents as a gear I've no clue, though.

>>338857163
>>4 months to release
>implying the footage they show is always the most recent build
It's definitely more recent than GI's but that doesn't mean that's what it looks like right now.
>>338857436
Why the fuck wouldn't they show the best possible build to the press?
Is this game PS4 only?
I would like to play it at 60fps with proper AA
>>338857163
You do realize they are playing old builds right?
>>338857518
Xone too, but it's even worse.
Expect the PC version in 1.5-2 years though
>>338857518
SE, despite a staff of 200 people couldn't get a PC version. So we'll have to wait another fucking year before we can play the non-cinematic version. I just want to turn off that ugly cutscene DoF that is cranked up to maximum for some reason.-
>>338857436
The game will not even look as good as this """""prealpha""""" when it actually releases
How do people still fall for this every single time?
>>338855812
Yeah ff has never had fantasy and technology in the same game before this is so gay I'm boycotting square
>>338857224
No it doesn't.
>>338847154
h-hayai!
>>338857479
Because they are just letting them play debug builds?
>>338857518
It's also going to release for the Xbox One video gaming platform, available at your nearest retailer for a great price!
Looks awful.
When are we gaijin getting it?
>>338857479
Best and most recent are not necessarily the same. They want to show a build they know for certain is stable
>>338857625
Why?
>>338856562
MGSV and FFXV both look good for different reasons.
MGSV uses lower polgyon models especially for enviroemnts and has lots of preset particle effects and shit, it looks great, but the engine was mostly build to run good on all platforms
FFXV uses an engine that is close to Fox Engine, but pretty much the other way around. Push all the dynamic physics and particles and hair effects and realtime lighting and shit, but miss out on a lot of the performance, that's why they have to tone down the LOD and draw distance and shit on consoles. The engine is just too much.
It's not exactly the right engine for an ARPG, but it's Squares choice so eh. As long as it runs locked 30 on NEO it's fine
Prompto will be a reaction goldmine
>>338857479
Depends what is defined as the "best" build at the time. I'd imagine that could be considered as the most functional or stable in terms of gameplay, not necessarily the most recent one.
>>338853259
PROMOTIONS
>>338857479
They probably record the footage and interviews and shit ahead of time so they can put the video together. Even the progress report they showed in an ATR in March or was made from footage recorded back in September. Also what >>338857798 said, the most recent build of the game might have some problems that wouldn't look good if they released it to the public.
>>338857239
>that terrain LOD
>>338857765
ww release, same day for everyone
>>338857920
prompto has best animations
>>338857518
They said that if they would make a PC verison they'd make it almost from scratch and would most likely use the DX12 version of their engine of which we've already seen a tech demo.
But i doubt it will happen in less than 2 years
>>338852069
>Laying your bare arms against hot asphalt
>>338858082
They should've gone the FF12 route of separate large areas. Maybe offer an overworld with an airship. Because man the game looks rough at this stage. Open-world seems way too taxing.
>>338858128
>They said that if they would make a PC verison they'd make it almost from scratch
why would you do that. the ps4 is already x86 and already uses a directx type pipeline
>>338857625
The Pre Alpha is an early 1015 build though, the newest trailers already look way better
The draw distance and AA will still be shit though since the engine is too much for consoles too handle
JUST SHOW US ANOTHER SUMMON ALREADY I WANT TO SEE SHIVA'S COLD TITS
>>338858094
Can't be. Japan is getting a theatrical release. That ain't happening around the world.
>>338858253
They just want to keep potential customers happywith lies.
>>338858253
Because for some reason, Tabata feels the need to prove everyone how great SE is and always go overboard. We just want to play the game in 60 fps with some good AA, really. Don't know why he's so horny about DirectX12.
>>338858331
FFXV Shiva is based on her FF3 Amano design.
>>338858253
Because then it would just be another shitty port
They'll probably use the same assets and shit, but will use the DX12 engine version

>>338856087
the best thing about broad sword is that it generates enough mp on normal hits enough that you never really run out
>>338858489
They'd just have to touch up a few things but not really rebuild it from the ground up for DX12.
>>338851243
I'm s
till pissed you can't fully control other characters.
>>338858437
Nah bro, they're just lying because they don't want the exclusive kids to feel betrayed
porting anything between pc and 8th gen consoles is childs play. they really are just simplified pcs now.
suggesting it would require major rewrites is basically a straight up lie playing your audience for a fool
>>338858564
Yeah, they are CGI gods.
Okay this looks awful. Ive liked everything else about XV but THIS
this is terrible. The story, voice acting and animation had better be godly to save this trainwreck of a movie
>>338845704
FFXV-kun loves everything about FFXV.
He even defended that ultra shitty Luna screenshot
>>338858752
What?
Drautos looks fucking baller
>>338858668
It's not really childs play, Just because current gen consolesare x86 doesn't mean that they can just drag and drop to PC and it works. Even the two consoles themself are different
And Square already has enough problems optimizing their games for consoles, let alone infinite PC setups
>>338841949
Nyx has the same exact hairstyle as Gladio. They mentioned that Gladio is from military so maybe that is a military haircut in Lucis.
>>338846842
It looks just like a fantasy work.
The media will eat it up because the CG looks incredible and there are famous actors in it
>>338858752
It's not like you're forced to watch it and it won't make the game any worse
>>338858631
I can already tell greatswords are going to be easy mode.
>>338853259
Weapon categories seem to be:
Sword
Greatsword
Polearm
Spear (?)
Gun
Shield
Chakra/Shuriken
??? (Ancient blades for Armiger/Phantom Sword?)
Staffs
>>338859036
of course not, Still looks awful. You'd think SE would be more wary after the disaster that was their first movie
>>338859075
Different weapon have different uses.
For normal weak enemies that are all over the map you will probably just use the greatsword. But bosses or aerial enemies require different shit.
But overall the combat system has more depth than it needs, that's kinda the difference between this one and KH2
KH2 has just enough depth, but XV has more depth than it needs since you'll never use most of it
>>338859147
>Spear
Could have stopped right there, that's all anyone with taste will be using. Shame there's no axes though, I would have loved to see FFXV's Earthbreaker.
>>338858631
I actually didn't check this when I played PD but in duscae stuff like mp regen was an attribute of the specific weapon, is that now tied to weapon classes?
>>338859301
Axes are in
>>338859147
No its called phantom arms, they use mp and have different forms shuriken is an early example.
>>338858924
>It's not really childs play
yes, for professional video game programmers, it is
>And Square already has enough problems optimizing their games for consoles, let alone infinite PC setups
has nothing to do with anything
>>338859217
It looks great though, and like others have mentioned it's nothing like what SW was. It's not even like what AC was. SW was it's own movie and AC was a fanservice driven sequel.
KG is part of FFXV and happens parallel to the game, while you can watch KG without playing XV and play XV without watching KG it's still connected.
>>338859403
>shuriken
>different forms
u wot? At least in the Platinum Demo, all I could do was throw it.
>>338858082
I want to take a closer look at the second image for a minute here. Before anybody shitposts about framerate or whatever, I slowed down the footage to make what I'm talking about easier to see.
It seems to me that SE's dedication to physically based lighting is kind of messing them up a bit; the game looks absolutely gorgeous in twilit and night scenes, but overexposed and/or washed out during the day. In particular the eye-adaptation they're using seems to be kind of freaking out in this video, first brightening, then darkening suddenly and dramatically as Noctis approaches the building, which funnily enough is actually the opposite of what should happen.
>>338858249
In early interviews they mentioned how the philosophy for this game was to design it according to the specs/limits of DX11, then scale it down accordingly to the various hardware. The meaning of that statement is becoming clear, I think -- early trailers were essentially pure Luminous running on high-end dev machines, and the new stuff is them furiously trying to scale it down to a level that PS4/Xbone can handle...and it unfortunately doesn't seem to be going well.
>>338859667
t. XV-kun
>>338859316
It's still specific weapon attributes from what I'm aware.
>>338859301
There are Axes. We could also see a halberd was one of Noctis's phantom weapons in PD.
>>338848603
The lore in the world is interesting enough that you could make a shit-ton of spin-offs but I'm not that confident in FFXVs plot itself
>>338859778
>day car floating mid-air
Holy kek
>>338859778
I think I should point out that there is a big text block that says pre-alpha in the corner and also the car is floating. Obviously that isn't a finished build and still has bugs to work out.
>>338859759
I think royal arms are special weapons that don't have their own category.
>>338859971
They've been keeping it tightly under wraps for the most part. I think they're trying to market the game The Force Awakens style, where we know jack shit about the actual product until release.
>>338860181
The strongest royal arm is going to be Noctis's father's dismembered arm used as a weapon.
The DLC already being available has me kind of worried, especially since it's all gimmicky/cosmetic shit again
>>338859778
Isn't all the footage from GI and IGN a version from early 2015 or even earlier?
The new trailer or pretty much all trailers look way better than that, even the gameplay we saw at Uncovered
>>338860268
Noctis gets Regis's sword. His figure also comes with it.
>>338860292
Isn't that what 90% of DLC is?
>>338850513
Because the designs are good and most people won't be turned away by them.
>>338859667
>It looks great though
I beg to differ. Character design/actor choice is disgusting. SE should have stuck to mafia/yakuza types
just from screenshots, it looks incredibly stiff. The clothes and uniforms all look atrocious. It's like medieval marching-band chic but they dont pull whatever it is they're going for off well. They shouldnt look more like they're in cosplay than they look like they're in uniform
>>338859778
This is the trappings of setting out to make an ambitious game with no consideration of just how hard you can be limited by deadlines/hardware/engine and so on. I read somewhere that Tabata wasn't pleased that open-world games tended to look worse than linear games so he wanted to make an open-world game that also looked like the best. Felt kinda contradictory really. And it shows in FFXV given its uneven presentation just a few months before shipping the game.
Japanese devs are usually very strict with optimization long before shipping the game. MGSV for instance was up and running at 60 fps a year before release. And then KojiPro just optimized after that, carefully adding new stuff while also keeping the performance. While FFXV seems to be the opposite, add a shit-ton, and then start to scale back to hit frame rate targets.
>>338860351
>Isn't that what 90% of DLC is?
Yeah, and most of it fucking sucks too. What a weird coincidence. DLC hurt this industry and had a lot to do with the growing corporate influence on video games as a whole.
>>338860438
Ah it's you again.
Nevermind that the kingsglaive is it's own seperate faction from the lucis royal circle who are in suits and look like mafia. Even Regis still looks mafia boss too.
>>338860502
Pretty much what
>>338857867
said
They just want to make it look great without ginving a shit about the hardware it runs on and then they have to set everything to low afterwads
>>338841872
The more I see of this game the less I think of it as a Final Fantasy game.
>>338860738
Because it's not full of nonsensical designs and girls.
Granted, some of the new outfits look PRETTY nonsensical to me.
>>338856256
>he says before the game is released
You must have played the game before anyone else, huh?
Get triggered you autistic fool
>>338860705
>Ah it's you again.
please dont start that game
mafia look like mafia regardless of faction and they should have stuck with that. Being a 'different faction' doesnt excuse the fat-faced manlets OR the plastic cosplay look
>>338852452
those headwings look pretty dumb
>>338854404
>>338855172
>>338855287
I have a hard time believing anyone could actually unironically think she looks ugly in that picture too. These people must be so far out of touch with reality that they're too far gone to ever return if they think she looks ugly even in that picture.
She is literally beautiful to the point that it's unrealistic. She has unattainable beauty within the real world and people still call her ugly. I can only try to imagine what these people actually look like that are calling her ugly.
>>338852891
He went through many different
why is eastern take at western aesthetics so damn awesome
>>338843796
>>338844185
they look european as fuck now
>>338860973
>mafia look like mafia regardless of faction and they should have stuck with that.
No, the Kingsglaive is specifically something different from the royal circle.
It's the same exact reason why Aranea looks completely different from everyone else in Niflheim, because she's from her own specialized faction.
>>338861229
Because they actually care about making things that look nice instead of shitting out another game filled with middle-aged white men with short hair or shaved heads in games that revolve almost entirely around shooting guns at things.
>>338861120
He went through 3 designs.
2008, 2011, 2014.
The design we saw him with in 2013 was the one he had since 2011, and in 2014 the only change was his hair/face slightly while his outfit stayed the same since 2011.
>>338861412
I can't believe this meme isn't dead. You can just as easily say that Japs only care about spiky-hair teenagers stabbing swords into things. It's a shitty argument with no basis in fact.
tfw FF characters actually looking good and not like a bunch of faggots
>>338841872
I like how this guys look white as fuck, then Noctis crew look like half-breed asian at best.
>>338858082
>>338859778
At least the food looks good
Also Ardyn a cuteno homoSeriously it's impressive how good they've made it look especially since you can literally see the polys; it's pure lighting/texturing. I wish they had a higher budget so they could model/tessellate better
>>338853619
Tomboy shorter haired Yuffie. Okay.
>>338861609
>It's a shitty argument with no basis in fact.
No, it has a pretty heavy basis in fact. If only I had the image saved with the massive montage of samey western game protagonists. All middle-aged white men with short dark hair or shaved heads in games that revolve almost entirely around shooting.
>>338861609
Japan cares about creating characters. Even if mocapped they still become identifiable characters.
I don't even remember what any of the CoD or battlefield faces look like, they all just blended into a bald white guy face
>>338861302
>No, the Kingsglaive is specifically something different from the royal circle.
that's beside the point im making, I dont care if they're different. Im saying they should have kept it as yakuza vs yakuza instead of this thing they created that looks like garbage? It's not classy at all and is frankly hard to look at for too long
the style clashes too many times to look good. Im seeing kevlar vests, medieval, marching band, modern, /fa/
it's too damn much at once and needs heavy refinement. If this is the final product then its an awful product and what im saying is, if they've settled for this design then everything ELSE about the movie had better be 10/10
>>338861626
hmm... did the food footage get a downgrade? that doesn't look as great as the duscae footage
>>338861762
If only I had the image saved with the massive montage of samey Japanese game protagonists. All teenage whites with spikey and bright hair in games that revolve almost entirely around shooting fireballs and having big swords.
>token fat guy
*sigh*
>>338861936
He's a blue mage that gains power by eating his enemies.
>>338861914
No, not even comparable.
>>338861791
>Japan cares about creating characters
Dead or Alive and Senran Kagura have such great characters.
>>338846957
FUCKING HELL, DELETE THIS
>>338861452
I'm aware of that. I was referring to the minor alterations to his face and hairstyle that made him look a little more than slightly different in some of the past trailers. One of them making him look a little like an older Roxas when all they did was tweak his placeholder design a little.
>>338841872
This actually looks amazing.
Blizzard should be ashamed. THIS is how you do a video game movie - all CGI, "realistic" but still clearly animated with designs that are a perfect mix of over-the-top and grounded.
Too bad none of these great looking characters will be in the fucking game, and we have to play as a boyband instead.
>>338861936
he just seems husky to me, not actually really fat or anything.
>>338861617
Only Noctis looks half asian.
Gladio looks Sicilian and everyone else looks white.
>>338861626
What's wrong with the characters? The fork looks way better than then, it wasn't like that the last time I saw a trailer.
Looks great, but I can't help but feel that Squeenix's art department is just too big for the company and they don't know what to do with it.
>>338862017
Except it is. There's a clear cultural trend on both sides, and the only difference is that you like one and think you have to hate the other because you feel like you shouldn't like two different things, and you read online somewhere that all "x" games are too similar. It's just cherrypicking pointless shit instead of just enjoying video games, it's sad my dude.
>>338862137
>Runs around with his shirt off
>Works out all the time
>Greasy looking hair
Gladio is a fucking guido
>>338841872
Fucking Sean Bean
>>338858351
>NOCTO SNAKBAR!
>>338861610
But the ones from the GAME are still pretty boy bishie faggots, anon. The ones in the movie look good.
https://youtu.be/CzIsbgDt5oM
I just want that delicious Shimomura OST ASAP.
>>338861795
>yakuza vs yakuza
It was never this. It was always modern city with men in suits using swords and magic fighting against medieval empire with knights in armor and robes fighting with guns.
>>338862293
i thought sean bean was going to voice regis? he's doing drautos?
I recognize Ben Affleck and Benedict Cucumberpatch, but who are the rest? Holy shit this is hilarious. This game can't come out any faster. My hype is through the roof now just to see what goofy shit the gooks have cooked up this time.
>>338841872
Is that a chick on the right? That face looked almost just like a dude.
>>338862293
That's funny because Bean plays another role
>>338862234
The western one is much more commonplace in western games than the alternative is in Japanese games. Also the Japanese trend actually at least has variation to the characters even if they do look anime. All of those western characters are nearly indistinguishable from each other.
Sorry Mr. Middle-aged White Man with short hair who loves military shooters that depict middle-aged white men with short hair.
>>338862123
Actually a few months ago someone listed Crowe as a character in the game on IMDB. That was before Kingsglaive was even revealed and we only learned her named as being Crowe today.
>>338862395
>It was never this.
it should have been, then there'd be some consistency
>medieval empire with knights in armor and robes fighting with guns.
and in this movie, i'm saying they look like shit
>>338862186
If you're referring to the shot with Ardyn in front of Noct & co. I suspect that global illumination has either been disabled or severely gimped in that shot. Like I said I'm hoping it's just technical issues and it'll come back, but for now I think it's safest not to have too many expectations
Is she called Crowe because of that beak she's sportin' on her face?
>>338862316
thats what I meant. the ones from the movie look much better
>>338862293
Sean Bean plays king Regis.
By the way you can see his Kingsglaive CG render here next to Mr.Saturn.
>>338841872
You can already see the news:
>Kingsglaive has more diversity than XV's main party
Why do they force us to play as the biggest faggots in the universe?
It pisses me off to no end when we get hard motherfuckers like this and we're forced to play as the B-team.
It never ends.
>>338862241
that post gave my crystal cancer
>>338860438
I like their clothes but I agree that the character designs and the actor choices are pretty fucking bad.
I especially hate the hipster haircut they gave Nyx
>>338862909
If it makes you feel any better as part of the story Noctis is supposed to rapidly age once he's king. It's what happened to Regis too. By the end of the game Noctis will look much older.
>>338862492
>The western one is much more commonplace in western games than the alternative is in Japanese games
Not really. They've looked the same since pretty much the dawn of video games, look at cabinet art for old Japanese arcade games. It hasn't changed much at all.>>338862492
>Sorry Mr. Middle-aged White Man with short hair who loves military shooters that depict middle-aged white men with short hair.
Don't fall back on baseless assumptions, make your points with facts if you have something to say. All I did was point out that you're being a hypocrite for talking shit about one kind of game when the games you like are just as guilty and say that your copypasted argument can be applied as easily to Japanese games as Western ones. I like both.
>>338862909
Because the movie characters are for the west/normies, while the game characters are for fans/japan
>>338863000
Those trips gave me an erection
*unzips dick*
>>338863001
>I like their clothes
please explain it to me if you can. I really feel like im missing something
>>338863001
That is actually a common yakuza thug haircut, and Gladio also has that same haircut.
The hipster one is short sut on the top with a complete fad around the back. That is the sides shaved while the rest is slicked back into a mullet.
>>338862651
*mountain disappears*
welp it looks like they've started integrating umbra
>>338863096
>while the game characters are for fans/japan
The game characters are to appeal to 14 year old japanese girls. Do not fool yourself.
>>338863256
>build amazing looking engine
>tons of particle effects
>great textures and shadows
>have to set shadows, textures, LOD, draw distance and AA to very low settings to make it run because they never thought about the fact that the game has to run on consoles
>>338863064
No, Japan has used anime a lot but the anime designs are not even close to as generic and rehashed as the western Baldan McMiddle-aged Military White Man.
>>338841949
This dude looks like Ben Affleck
>>338842029
And Luche, especially in that middle pic, looks like a young Harrison Ford.
Eh, I gotta say it looks bretty gud, at least in terms of character diversity etc., but I cannot say I'm a fan of the whole boyband vibe I get from the protags.
I hope it comes for PC though.
>FFXV is for boys
>Kingsglaive is for men
>>338846842
It can't really bomb, it's not going to be an actual movie in theaters, except maybe in Japan.
Most people will be getting it via the game's special edition.
>>338863509
They're equally generic within their own cultures. It's a simple fact anon. Don't let a fucking meme indoctrinate you.
>>338863129
>Crowe
I just like skintight suits.
High boots are pretty hot too
>Drautos
I like the one sided cape thing that the first Assassin's Creed guys had going on and I still like it here
>Nyx
Don't know how I should explain this one because the outfit isn't that special.
The retarded armcloth should go tho.
>Luche and Libertus
Also pretty normal clothes.
Libertus breastplate looks like shit
In the end it all comes down to taste but that's why I like them
>>338841872
Never played FF before. Would this game be a good start to the series for a new player?
>>338863852
You can start from literally any FF.
>>338863948
Ive heard from fans of the series the lightning bitch was is awful and they love FF.
>>338863852
Any, but 1, 4, 7, and 10 are often seen as the best entry points.
>>338863852
4 or 6 for 2d
7 or 8 for 3d
But you can just start with any of the popular ones of you don't mind going back to 2d after 3d games
>>338854404
she is ulgy, especially since her lumpy facial structure could be seen clearly.
>>338861626
One last little nitpick, the DoF they're currently working with seems to be pretty low-quality and encounters problems with transparent objects like Noctis' hair in this clip. I would normally say this is a nonissue but Square have inexplicably left in little things like this before.
On a more positive note, it looks like Noct's clothing actually accumulates dirt etc., I'm assuming based on the weather and what you've been doing, so that's pretty cool.
>>338864012
True but the way FF is made is that you can play any FF first because they are all separate.
So what are the chances of this coming to PC at one point? I mean considering all the other ports lately, it should be pretty likely, no?
>>338863159
I don't mind it for Gladio because the rest of his face doesn't look like a hipster and because his hair is longer but I just really dislike Nyx
>>338863468
What's wrong with bishounen?
I personally like them if they have some sort of character and the cast in FFXV has some pretty good designs imo and their characters seem great
>>338864119
Will happen eventually, they'll never miss out on the shekels.
But if anything that Tabata said is true they'll work on a DX12 version so probably not earlier than 2-3 years
>>338841872
I get the feeling that I've seen this Hollywood actress before but I can't quite put a name on her.
>>338862014
Is Tabata the Trump of Square-Enix?
>>338863834
that breatplate really gets me
what the fuck even is that? Why would you strap it on that way?
>>338841872
>>338841949
>>338842029
>>338842117
>>338842346
>>338842436
While I'm not really that interested in FF XV, I do wanna watch the movie for the CGI reason alone.
>>338863096
This make no sense...
>>338864387
She looks like a young Ivana Miličević, but slightly different
>>338864387
Crowe's motion capture actress is Andrea Tivadar.
>>338864670
SIDEBOOOB
>>338864597
People seem to be under the impression that this will be a theatrical release similar to Spirits Within
Anyone want to make a new thread? Thread is still too active to die.
>>338841872
So are these from a game or movie or what? Nomura is famous for his sameface asian bullshit in his games so these designs seem too good for a game.
>>338864670
Hey, that's Keira Knightley.
>>338864890
Movie.
>>338864890
A lot of the game characters look a lot more western compared to the game
>>338863834
>still no rule34 of Crowe
>>338841872
>>338841949
>>338842029
>>338842117
>>338864890
Follow up ro my question so if this is a movie that's a shame cuz some of these characters look like generic chinks in in the game. Hope these designs carry over but they won't.
>>338864204
It's not a matter of if but a matter of when.
Right now it's obvious they're putting off announcing a PC port until after the console release because they some people will buy it twice.
>>338864995
>>338865071
I fucking knew it. They'll look good in the movie but sameface chinks in game. Awesome.
>>338865418
Don't worry, anon,those characters aren't going to be in the game, Tabata confirmed it. At most, a couple of references here and there.
