...Does she have blades floating around her like Vayne?

She has so much going on. Her dress, her staff, her swords(?), and her crown. The more I look at it the worse it gets. Other dude look cool, reminds me of Jecht.

The crown looks like a flower pot in the art

How often do these Final Fantasy mobile games release in Europe? I would like to know if there is any chance that this new one will be available to me (once I get a phone).

Spiritas looks like rejected concept art for FFX. Materia looks like what Nomura would do if he were to design characters for a Chrono game.

from the same source:
I almost didn't recognize Squall.
Cloud looks great with Amano-style armor.

Just saw the news.
Who the fuck is Ace? Type-0...Didn't they remaster that for PS4? Is it worth playing?
Ugh, dissapointing character reveal. However, that other Dissidia game had Vivi, Yuffie, Sazh and a couple others that have pretty good chances on being in the main game, so I'm optimistic!

Character designers don't usually have completely free hands designing the characters they design. While it's hard to separate who has the most influence and ultimately it IS the character designer who draws the design, sometimes it can be the director/some higher-up in the team/company who asks for something particular or outlandish (make them boobs bigger! make that cleavage more noticeable! she needs to show more skin! that dress needs to look more like a basket!) that the designer then executes. Of course considering some of Nomura's past designs, it's hard to say who's more at fault here with Materias. Nomura's designs have been decently down-to-earth for the most part in recent years, so something so extravagant(ly stupid) isn't necessarily all on him.
Isn't TN just the coders?
Honestly, Materia design screams Nomura to me. There's nothing TN into her design IMO.
It's the square grids. The square grids don't belong on anyone's outfit. It's not even sexy, She looks like a catwalk model wearing an outfit made by a drunken designer.
If the lines formed trapezoids or otherwise flowed more naturally around her body, it could have been okay. Those 90 degree angles just don't work well as sleeves or skirts.

You either meant latter or lattice...
But actually, she does look climbable. Carry on.

What the fuck am I looking at?
Also not that enthused about the new character being Ace, given that I've never played Type-0 and all. Maybe he's an interesting character that will be fun to play but for now, eh.

This can't be Nomura's art, not enough belts clearly.

So not really. Thanks though. Weird he doesn't have a moveset exhibition video like every other character too, at least yet.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
God I still can't help but think of laundry when looking at Materia.
Yeah, I agree. The color scheme is very pretty.
As for Ace, I'm okay with this. He's the character I play as the most in Type-0.

Nomura designing a type-0 character hmm
While Tabata redesigns the XV cast.. Kappa

Her skirt definitely looks like a union of ladders.
Weren't all of the Type-0 main characters designed by Nomura?

They should have just used Cosmos design, good lord.

You guys are hating hard. I like materias
As a fan of Type-0, Ace is still pretty white bread no-characterization, but that's the fault of developing for a handheld and requiring a cast of 14+ characters. Kind of a wasted character slot IMO, but it could have been worse, it could have been Machina.
However, Gaius would have been an even more wasted slot, he's basically a footnote in FFXIV, to even compare him to Shantotto, a vastly recurring and important character in FFXI is just laughable.
Forget Materia's ridiculous net-dress, she has a flower pot on her head. What a completely bizarre character design. Spiritas is allright, but he's basically Dark Jecht.

Glad that Type-0 has a character representing it in some way. Dissidia has been good with this in past games, but I know other crossover games end up having the most popular series being over represented with characters. Ace being one of the more unique shoot type characters is just icing on the cake.
