Why can't he be tired troughout the whole game?

Gotta have that character development!

 

[Kozmos]

Y'know, since Tabata said the black haired girl and the dragoon are different people, I bet this is

right before Luna summons Leviathan, which is why she is taking a large trident.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

looking at this gif, i rememeber why i actually love noctis design.

I thought he was. He's always sleeping, from what I remember, due to his "curse" or something.

That... would be awesome.

Damnnn nice catch. That very well could be what is going on.

Oh, so that's what Tabata means by the Legendary Weapon. Trident for an aquatic nation makes perfect sense.

Summons are tied into weapons then if that's the case. That could provide some really cool gameplay scenarios.

That trident looks like Leviathan, too.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Like Episode Duscae 2.0, Dawn 2.0 is better than the original, but still not good.

 

[True Fire]

Look, she's so strong and independent and graceful!

(the fact that this is in realtime is amazing)

 

[Whompa02]

Gorgeous key art and a way better trailer.

I just want the game already ffs...

 

[YunFang1130]

I want an artbook for all the concept art! D:


Besides that, I wish there were more!!!

So it is confirmed that is a trident and a very interesting write up on the Facebook page for the Luna key art

 

[kuroshiki]

doesn't show shit at all.

 

[Jarmel]

That first screenshot looks atrocious.

 

[dramatis]

Pretty boring trailer. Are they sure they want to try and present their story like this?

Look, she's so strong and independent and graceful!

Lol

In what situation will a bunch of soldiers all lower their guns just because a completely unarmed girl brushed them off? Scene just comes off as a manufactured "strong female character" moment.

Will Lunafreya wield the Trident? That's the important question.

They probably have orders to not harm her, she's supposed to be considered somewhat divine or with some connection to the gods going by square's description.

 

[Falk]

lol

I didn't even notice that she was grabbing anything when I first saw it

It's been a long night. Give me a break lol

Luna description:

With a mere wave of her hand, Lady Lunafreya of Tenebrae brushes aside the imperial soldiers surrounding her. She accepts her trident from her attendant, and sets off to commune with the gods. As the Oracle, she enjoys the adoration of supporters the world over. What sort of monster could point a gun at such a divine creature?

 

[brandonh83]

Luna description:

Luna a divine creature confirmed.

 

[lumi7890]

judging from this quite in the facebook post

She accepts her trident from her attendant, and sets off to commune with the gods.

yes it seems the trident is her weapon, so another change from stella , who wielded a fencing sword. to luna, who apparently wields a trident.

 

[Ceravic]

Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.

 

[DeSolos]

Lol

They're forcing her to commune with the gods, and she's like "fucking fine" *pushes the gun out of her face*.

Also she's a big deal in their world. They're not really supposed to harm her.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I dunno, man, you shoulda seen it. It was right there!

Yawn 2.0.

Whoever in charge of directing these two "trailers" needs to be fired.

Luna looks cool in the keyart, but that's about it.

 

[KingJ2002]

Character models look great... but those screenshots of the environment isn't really flattering to the game. I hope it looks better in motion.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

So do we know if XV has any of dem CGI scenes? I remember Nomura talking back in versus days they were going to do a lot of em.

 

[Turin]

Out of my way, coming through

Swag team.

I like Noct looking less boyish.

 

[MultiJhonny]

So do we know if XV has any of dem CGI scenes? I remember Nomura talking back in versus days they were going to do a lot of em.

Actually the opposite. He wanted to do more in game cutscenes, which is what they are still doing. I am sure there still will be CGI scenes though

Also I bet the "monster" in the key art description is her father

There's a CG in the TGS 2014 trailer.

He did? I must be remembering wrong then.

 

[kayos90]

Lol. Everything I've seen about this game just makes me so disappointed. It's a disconfigured campaign trying to hype up something with little to no substance. I've never seen a AAA game being marketed in this fashion before. Yuck.

 

[MultiJhonny]

He did? I must be remembering wrong then.

From this interview http://gematsu.com/2013/09/tetsuya-nomura-final-fantasy-xv-ps4-conversations-with-creators

When you say “dynamic scenes,” to what are you referring?

For example, the scene we saw at E3 where a Leviathan is rioting through a town, and the main character comes in fighting and flying around in a current of water. Until now this scene would have been completely pre-rendered into a movie by Visual Works (Suare Enix’s film producing team). But now you’ll actually be able to play through it in real-time.

There are other times he reiterated this though

 

[Kagari]

Yes.

Here is one rehosted from Famitsu. http://www.finalfantasy.net/xv/famitsu-chats-nomura-xiii/

Cutscenes in Final Fantasy Versus XIII are said to be “manipulatable”, and this may imply that the camera may be movable during them. When approaching cutscene direction, Mr. Nomura seems to take a page from the FPS genre in which event scenes do not necessarily disturb the flow of gameplay.

 

[kayos90]

Is anything wrong?

It sounds like something I'm reading out of a bad manga.

 

[Ishida]

It's just really cliche.

What about it now?

With a mere wave of her hand, Lady Lunafreya of Tenebrae brushes aside the imperial soldiers surrounding her. She accepts her trident from her attendant, and sets off to commune with the gods. As the Oracle, she enjoys the adoration of supporters the world over. What sort of monster could point a gun at such a badass crazy bitch?

 

[DeSolos]

Here is one rehosted from Famitsu. http://www.finalfantasy.net/xv/famitsu-chats-nomura-xiii/

I think he means the one where Nomura said there would be 30%:70% ratio between CGI and real time cutscenes.

Later on I believe Tabata said they were doing even more scenes in real time now. Which, considering the apparent volume of content in the game, cutting down on CGI would really help them fit everything on the disc. FFXIII used up 20GB per language for CGI cutscenes. Considering FFXV is an open world game which may have a dual language option, it might be necessary to do most scenes in real time.

 

[Ishida]

Let's see how the execution goes. She looked badass to me.

Ah yeah. I am trying to find that one but for some reason I am having trouble to find the one with the percentages lol

10/10

 

[blitzwolf215]

The scene in the trailer is fine, but that description is just eh.

 

[Turin]

She looked cool in that shot but the description was a bit cringe inducing. We'll see what happens.

I'm really ashamed of my words and deeds right now.
