Isn't there a seen where Quiet is rolling around in the rain like a stripper?B-b-but Cindy is as bad as Quiet! Or just slightly less bad!

All in all, he ended up doing very little. Just the 4 protagonists' faces, and maybe he had a say in how they are clothed.
Damn it...typing on my phone with my fat thumbs has failed me.Quite.

Something i really don't get, is why Nomura presented the trailer for FFXV in 2013 when he wasn't part anymore and the characters were already redesigned... and they probably knew they weren't doing the invasion playable.
I would really buy an artbook with all the material they created for this game/ with details on production of this mess because it's so interesting.
The comparison is ridiculous.
The funny thing about the brand of hyperbole around these XV threads is that it isn't even hyperbole because people literally believe the things they type.
That's weird, who just does faces?
He was still on the team in 2013, he was moved in December. Stuff was seemigly changing even when he was there if I'm reading this right.Something i really don't get, is why Nomura presented the trailer for FFXV in 2013 when he wasn't part anymore and the characters were already redesigned... and they probably knew they weren't doing the invasion playable.

Wait a minute. Doesn't this basically confirm the recent leaks!? oO Way too random not to be from an actual insider.
I know, hence what I said. I doubt they just gave Roen the characters and said "Dress'em however you want", someone from S-E must have approved. Was it Nomura? Who knows, but it doesn't seem a stretch to me.
You could also get away with simpler character designs in the old days because of graphical limitations. Many great characters of old have very simple outfits and remain just as iconic then as now. Because of our graphics now, designers have to get ultra realistic or overly dramatized in their work for it to be consider 'acceptable'. That's why we have designs like Quiet, Cidney, and Two Worlds boob ladies.
Welcome to the post-truth age.The comparison is ridiculous.

lol @ "I would like to know how you got access to this previously unreleased material"

I'm talking about these. The alleged employee came back and stated that Umbra (along with Cor, Aranea and Iris) were permanent party members in Nomura's game. Umbra being able to change forms while fighting like Link in Twilight Princess would have been an amazing mechanic if this is true.
He was still on the team in 2013, he was moved in December. Stuff was seemigly changing even when he was there if I'm reading this right.
Oh what recent leaks?
No, I don't mean these. Never saw these before. I mean those from the "FFXV development troubles/Rumored Versus plot leaked" a week or so after release. They mentioned Umbra originally being a human that joined the cast. This coming from Ferrari is really giving that leak some legitimately, damn. It all sounded so plausible too. Especially of you beat the game and saw the "seams" at all the parts where stuff was apparently cut according to leak. Read them if you finished the game, they're super interesting!There was one where they stated Gentiana was supposed to be more samurai-ish.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was accurate at one point but not anymore considering they rewrote the game every 3 months and probably even more frequently afterwards.
lol wow seriously wtf
[On Tabata]:
I liked him and he's an excellent professional. He gets job done at very difficult circustamnces. The engine didn't adapt well to consoles and had limitations. I'm proud to have worked on the game but I think the company should have given it more development time. I don't know about FF16. There were a lot of designs and concepts scrapped, some of them by Ferrari, yeah.
The end part of the game was supposed to be bigger. I know for a fact that dark world Lestallum was finished. Old Iris was also featured in some scenes. Cindy too (and I also recall them not wanting to change the Cindy design even though it was problematic because her older design implied character development).
But then we can say Stella's replacement was under his charge?! Because the 2013 female character was Luna indisputably.
I know the trailer is just Visual works' shenanigans but how much of a mess they had then...
I assume we will, would be weird we we don't get some DLC/patch timeline.I wonder if they'll add Umbra to the party in XV at some point. They did say that there going to add characters in the long term. Damn I hope we will hear more about XV upcoming DLC plan on 31st.
That's why we have designs like Quiet, Cidney, and Two Worlds boob ladies.

What I was saying is if Cidney is competent in what she's doing, I don't see the need for her to flaunt her sexual characteristic at all. Sucking dick was just an analogy.So an attractive girl with a skirt/shorts and heels will suck your dick? What are you even trying to say? It's not like Cindy goes around the game sucking dicks. She fixes and customizes your car.
Guys, guys
Umbra is Latin for "shadow".
Tabata is a huge fan of FFVI.
Umbra was basically Shadow AND Shadow's dog Interceptor merged into one character.
Tabata is a genius!
Stella was still Stella then. They only changed her look. Nomura said he did it to make her more pretty lol.
The female character that appeared in 2013's trailer, both running as a child and then as a portrait, was Stella. VA for Stella had finally been decided back then and Nomura talked about the character in interviews post E3.

But what if shes competent in what she's doing (she is) and just...wants to flaunt her sexual characteristics?
Wasn't talking about that GameFAQs "leak", which sounds like bullshit. The one from the GAF thread from my post above sounds absolutely plausible and not too far off. And now that Ferrari mentioned the Umbra thing the leak sounds even more credible for mentioning the random fact of Umbra originally being a party member in human form.I doubt this is true.
Seems like the story went in all sorts of directions after the change from Versus to XV. Changing the entire concept will do that i guess, but i'd really love to see an autopsy of the history of this project from start to finish.
But i'm wondering when Ferrari left the project. Before long before Kingsglaive, but after the change to 15. Perhaps when Nomura and Nojima and the rest left?
Nope he technically redesigned all of them, but it's mostly noticeable on Prompto and Stella->Luna.
He's not wearing a trash bag anymore?What were the changes for Noctis?

Back in 2013 when the game was shown at E3 Nomura was still the main director.
I'm sure she was running the bar fine.If Tifa is efficient on what she's doing, why wear such an outfit?
Fan service. That's why.
There was one where they stated Gentiana was supposed to be more samurai-ish.

The 4 chan leak is better imo.This sounds shitty, to be honest. Even fragmented, FFXV story seems miles better.
Lol Cindy's design is really really tasteless and raunchy as fuck.
That's clearly crap (EDIT: okay, on a second read, who knows... especially with Nojima+Nomura). Check the 4chan one in the GAF thread I linked above, which is now even more credible after Ferrari's post about Umbra, which would be too random to just guess:This sounds shitty, to be honest. Even fragmented, FFXV story seems miles better.

The style of her armor kinda reminds of FFIV armor. Ferrari is pretty good.
Unless Delaney want to surf 4 chan and see
