This is E3 2013 footage.

Ah, well there I go proving that I never followed FFXV all that closely. When they announced all three FNC games, I only cared about FFXIII. I assumed I'd get excited about FFversusXIII once that was out of the way. But instead it pretty much killed whatever remaining enthusiasm I had. Really only starting to finally get hyped for FFXV recently.

You're right though, we hadn't seen the aerial moves from E3 2006 until seven years after at E3 2013.

I see you toughing it out in those Twitch comments. Christ is it a retarded chat for the most part.

But I really hope the aerial moves are still in. i am sure they are just at a higher level.

That last image, says Niflheim on the banners. I assume this is the treaty signing party.

Leviathan.

Giever · Feb 27, 2015

All of those images just make me want the game to have fixed camera shots for a lot of the city-type areas. :s

MultiJhonny · Feb 27, 2015

It's pretty incredible the lengths they go through for this. really making me appreciate game developing and the art that is behind it even more!

salromano · Feb 27, 2015

Behemoth

Eidolon

Leviathan scale model.

Art team!

threelights · Feb 27, 2015

So, Kamikokuryo IS working on XV after all.

That's awesome. He and Naora are my favorites.

Kagari · Feb 27, 2015

Hasegawa is a hold over from Versus XIII.

Same. Great news!

Yes! I was pretty happy after they mentioned him.

I think it's more so that he was pooled over to Tabata's team.

Either way, I figured as much since Tabata basically confirmed it from the interview a couple of days ago.

And then you see "lazy dev" comments thrown around and you feel like breaking something

anaron · Feb 27, 2015

Naora is undoubtedly one of the greatest gifts in gaming

his art direction in these games is so stunning full of character

Yeah I knew there was a lot of work anyways and appreciated it, but this was some really cool insight!!

BTW a surprise apparently in about 15 minutes on this, according to Square enix presents.

By far my favourite in Square, and probably all time favourite since he has so much variety.

I wish we could play the Code Age series in english. It apparently wasn't that good but it's the only project he's ever directed. It ought to at least have some solid art!

threelights · Feb 27, 2015

That was way better than I expected given that start.

Naora seems to be a cool guy too.

Hasegawa (and indirectly Amano) for monster designs; Naora and Kamikokuryo for the world design, and I'm pretty sure this will be the prettiest FF game to date.

I just hope Nomura's character designs are still in =P

wmlk · Feb 27, 2015

But yeah, that Lucis concept art is what I wanted the most out of anything else from the game.

MissDeviling · Feb 27, 2015

That leviathan model is beautiful.

I doubt it... The soles of Noctis' shoes are different.

lumi7890 · Feb 27, 2015

this, looks like what would happen if you merge Boston and London together.

Ran rp · Feb 27, 2015

Oh snap.

MagnaderAlpha · Feb 27, 2015

You can already see the difference in the Lucis and Niflheim emblems. The old Lucis emblem is seen over the door, while the banners have a skull in a circle, while the Niflheim dragon is shaped differently.

Kagari · Feb 27, 2015

I wonder if Takayuki Ohtachi is still on the project then or what.

MultiJhonny · Feb 27, 2015

This is really cool though watching him draw.

Dark_castle · Feb 27, 2015

Noctis in suit = Celebration party = Stella confirmed

And you can see on the banners and the street sign above Noctis it says peace agreement. So it does point to the party.

Kagari · Feb 27, 2015

He's going to meet Luna there instead B)

Have faith! Stella is going to still be there. Noctis is going to walk into that celebration party like:

I wonder how many of the people announced as Versus XIII leads are even still at S-E...

Cidd · Feb 27, 2015

I'm actually really enjoying watching him draw, what a legend.

Ran rp · Feb 27, 2015

Someone should make a new thread for the art grabs.
