And Ito heads the sixth division, currently making FFXVI right? Right...?
Their tech engine is already being used for a game.
Man, this new chocobo design just isn't doing it for me.
I'm serious.
Is there a comprehensive list of them somewhere?

New FFXV footage looks cool too.
Either way, Agni is one of my favorite tech demos (that will never become a thing).
This looks pretty good too.

There's 12 it seems, with 1st PD encompassing 1-4 based on this person's 10 months of research: http://www.mognetcentral.com/threads/square-enix-business-divisions-established-in-q4-2013.2927/
lol...
I guess it's "safe" to assume Hashimoto's on FFXVI then? EDIT: Nevermind!
Thanks!
Kingdom Hearts.
Shit is cray. Looks like Luminous won't be thrown away like their Crystal Tools.

Yea, it's weird how little sense people make.
Agni's Philosophy looks like it could legit take place in FFXV's world. There were Coca-Cola bottles in the original tech demo, for christ sake.

Some FFXV:
That's Lestallum I think.

Oh, I see.
But Division 1 must be working on something else than Mobius considering Toriyama's not on it, no?
We don't know who the direct of Mobius is actually, only the Project Lead.
It's possible he's actually directing it and they just haven't said so yet.
That said I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying two mobile games given the likely staff size of the team.

Oh yea, totally forgot that. Agni's world is just as modern as FFXV's world. Only difference is, we've only seen slums of her world.

BREAKING: Square-Enix working on next Final Fantasy game for Morpheus due for 2015 release
(neogaf)
It actually felt a lot like Final Fantasy x Resident Evil to me when I first saw the demo.

It was just a matter of time, a bit disappointed that it wasn't in the OP tbh lol.
N o e s c a p e
Really though, I just love the whole design of the Agni's Philosophy stuff. I hope they do something with it, either the next FF or new IP entirely

In 2013 Square Enix went back to their old structure of having a bunch of business divisions each being in charge of a set of franchises/project types. Kitase heads the first division, Tabata heads the second division, Hashimoto heads the third division, Yoshida heads the fifth division, etc. There are over a dozen, and some are dedicated towards mobile stuff.
They consolidated those at one point, but then they went back to it again. The company can't really make up their minds.
Thanks. I love these stuff. It's a shame they stopped marketing them. When they first announced their divisions in 2003 it was like a giant lineup of top directors and dream projects. It was a great time.

So they have a PC demo running on w10 and dx12? Why not just announce the port?
My ps4 will continue to collect dust if it happens.

Just say your making FF16 Agni for PS4/XB1/PC SE, just do it, you already are invested in the character, just make it a thing already.
Also, 8 million poly's is very excessive. You achieved nearly the same result in Agni's first demo, at 1080p 60 on a single 680. And then she had 1 million poly's. And Stella in FF15 running on PS4 looks pretty detailed as well.
I know its a tech demo, but things like this are very misleading unless you can pinpoint exactly the types of techniques you learned making this demonstration.
4 sli titans in an i7 and 32GB ram is like the highest of the high end

Duuude.... that sounds so dumb, I want it now.
Casting blizzaga on zombies, in a cityscape?
If you close your eyes hard enough, you can pretend it's a spiritual Parasite Eve successor.
That wouldn't surprise me at all. It's something they've been doing with S-E Montreal's team and they're very happy with the results so far.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Impressive.
Question: I know Square Pictures was dissolved and situated in Hawaii but re-emerged mostly as Visual Works; do SE still have an office in Hawaii for CG treatment or is it all located in Japan now?

BUILD isn't really a video game conference.
Square Enix is at the PC E3 conference and having a major showing for FFXV at Gamescom, so if it's a simultaneous launch, I'd expect it announced at one of those two.
Because they know people will double dip later on after they've spent their $60 at retail.

The FFXV stuff is what they're doing now on DX11 (the guy even says so). As is the first Agni demo.
They might not market them to consumers, probably because they feel it is kinda confusing at this point (it is), but they definitely market them openly for recruitment. Many of the open positions on their recruitment page specifics which division is hiring, and they have introduction messages and interviews from division heads and staff in the various divisions talking about the work scope and work environment. It's not something they're hiding.
This isn't really accurate. Visual Works is the evolution of the CG staff which was always based in Japan. From the FFVII days onwards. Square Pictures was something else entirely, set up specifically to make the FF:TSW motion picture. They hired extensively from Hollywood. Square Pictures was never involved with creating CG for games. Even as FF:TSW was in production, the Japanese CG staff made the FMVs for FFIX, FFX, etc.

Obviously a PC version will happen. They need to get as much back as possible after having this game in development for 10 years. That being said I wouldn't expect it to come out until at least a year after the console versions and they certainly won't announce it until the console versions have been on sale for a while.
I can't say for sure but I think everything is in Japan right now, except Sakaguchi of course
.FFXIII was developed on PC too.
Honestly I expect them to release FFXV on PC after some time (best case scenario months, likely years, maybe after all games in XV universe are released on console?) after it comes out on consoles just like they are releasing the FFXIII trilogy.
I'm 100% sure it will eventually come to PC, the question is how long after the console release.

Well apparently they will be at the PC e3 conference so who knows what theyll announce
I wonder what the demo is running at? 4k 60? With 4 sli titans you'd expect something like that, especially considering that the actual graphics themselves don't look much better than agni.
And yeah people, why are you even asking about FF15 coming to PC? That's basically going to happen. After the console versions sure, cause i'm guessing they want to give full priority to PS4/XB1 optimization, but its inevitable
