Platinum's mecha design lead thinks you should take a second look at today's art after you've finished the game (link in Japanese, sorry if I botched the translation

He actually says that you should look at the designs themselves, not specifically at today's artwork. Maybe it's related to the round heads and how they look like No.6.
no way, best colors

The art for 5 and 4 is simply amazing.

Can't wait. It's a shame that the European version is being released like a week after.
Was thinking the same thing. You can see how passionatr they are.
Two weeks.

There's also some Nier art exhibition in Shinjuku right now:

Only 1 day left to go.
Not as grandiose as I thought it might be but still a nice one to finish with.
Is there definitely not going to be a 0/launch day piece?
I think FFXV's countdown ended with 1 day left (with artwork from Yusuke Naora). And Yoshida is the main/most famous artist working on this game so I think they will end with him.
Ah my bad. I guess there could be another, something from a lesser known artist or something from Taro.There was one more after that; this artwork from Matsuzawa.
Love Yoshida. His art is so simple yet so compelling. ❤️️

I want that as a wallpaper soooo bad. Shame they didn't provide a higher resolution version with no text. Hopefully we will get something as cool for Nier.There was one more after that; this artwork from Matsuzawa.

They should have this guy as Art Director / Character Designer for the next mainline FF, guy's seriosly talented and has a very different style than what we got in the past entries.

Don't think this is part of it but was posted by one of the artists.
Looks like Yuki Matsuzawa did this.
That Moogle is probably a better fit for Nier than XV, aesthetically. Have they said anything about whether it might make it into the game in some form?
I like the idea of it becoming a tradition to have a piece from him celebrating each of S-E's major releases, regardless of involvement in the actual game.
