Masked Man
I said wow
Gentiana is one of my favorite character designs ever.
Same. Love her so much!

These are his earliest works with Tatsunoko Pro:

Wait, Nomura didn't design FF15's cast? Could've fooled me
Nomura designed the original faces of Noctis, Gladiolus, Ignis, Prompto, and Stella. ROEN designed the outfits of these 5 characters. Yusuke Naora redesigned these 5 characters after Versus XIII became XV.
All the other characters were designed by Yusuke Naora and Roberto Ferrari.
Roberto what are you doing "I agree with sakaguchi that its not worth it to make large budget games" *Heads out with Nomura to do KH3 and FFVII*
I don't understand the "hate" on Cindy's design.
Loved all his designs. Cindy's design was fine. Don't care what anyone says about it.
It's an incredibly trashy, unnecessarily sexualized design. When a pornstar could cosplay the character and come out looking more modest, you know you've got one shit character design.
Yeah, I remember those. Nothing really bad there.
Anyway, my previous post was ironic, I'm sure he draws whatever he feels like drawing; but since he seems quite active on FB, I should ask him if Cidney's all his doing. Just to be sure.
Hmm... there's another rumor that "Project W" which was to be a Eidos developed FF that was later cancelled, was still in the works back then, so that would be your FFXV and XVI.Wait a minute. Remember this post from Verendus from early 2013 before FFXV was officially revealed?
How the fuck were they supposed to release FFXV in 2014 when it was just rebooted, though??
I skimped through the game's credits, was Nomura even credited in the end?
Err he has plenty of moments where he's completely sexualized unnecessarily so, yet no one is complaining about him. And there is no reason to make him that way either, but nice mental gymnastics you're hoping over. Both are very sexualized characters with the guy being a main character, and all you guys do is complain about Cindy only.Puhleeze. That screenshot is nothing compared to the blatant way they shove Cindy in your face any time you fuel up at Hammerhead. The only thing missing when she washes your windshield are soap bubbles blowing around the background.
They should have at least a "based on the original concept by Tetsuya Nomura" cmon.If I recall correctly he isn't in the game's ending credits, but he is in the optional credits on the title screen where Too Much Is Never Enough plays.
Gladio is treated like a character with some respect that also has some fanservice that is appropriately applied. Cindy is just tits and ass dude. That's how the game treats her.Err he has plenty of moments where he's completely sexualized unnecessarily so, yet no one is complaining about him.

It didn't bother me much that Glad is the way he is mind you, but this little childish hypocritical nonsense is filled with cringe inducing outrage. They wanted to do fan service for guys and girls, and this isn't that much of a big deal unless most characters were that way.

He has a ton more depth than her, but he should as he is a main and she's a slightly more relevant NPC. I just find the overreactions a bit overdramatic.Gladio is treated like a character with some respect that also has some fanservice that is appropriately applied. Cindy is just tits and ass dude.

Though this def would have been better.The sad part is they could have treated Cindy like Fran who also had a fanservicy outfit but also had strong writing to back her up.
The story kept changing even when Nomura was incharge. Lmao.
It is, i already asked him once.
Said the idea was to make a hottie unaware of her own sex appeal, but also very smart and focused on her inventions (inspired by that Porco Rosso girl of whom i don't remember the name).

Ricordo, but I'd like to be more specific, like if her design and its "pure fanservice" side really didn't receive any input from other members of the team. After all, he's certainly not the one responsible for all the camerawork that focuses on Cindy.
It's not that I am trying to "justify" him or don't believe he could come up with her on his own, I'm just curious. I don't think character designers work in total isolation.
Aranea and Cindy had godawful designs.
To be fair, he gets a credit before the game even startsI skimped through the game's credits, was Nomura even credited in the end?
Gentiana with glasses...
Wheres the unused art fam
Aranea is one of the few interesting designs in the game. I can understand people not liking Cindy's design because her bra and panties are out for no reason. If my wife walked in with Cindy on the screen she would probably laugh at me and ask if I was play a porn.
Aranea though? Come on. Is this part of gaf's new puritan view on cleavage all of a sudden. Where every topic has to be a race to prove how open minded they are and how shameful it is that a woman show a little skin.
This game would have never came out lolThe story kept changing even when Nomura was incharge. Lmao.

Good, I hated her designs in XIII.Maybe he's referring to Nao Ikeda, the sub-character designer for FFXIII? I know that she left SE and didn't work on any of the XIII sequels, but she did work with Level-5.

What about her FFXII designs then?

He also mentions that he's already working on "other numbered entries" in the series (besides VIIr).
It's funny this game was in development hell due to story, because it didn't seem all that important. There are things I appreciated that went along with the story, so maybe it can't all be shit (road trip, countryside, the teams banter).
This game is good for being easy monster hunter and checking off quests.
Uh, no. It has nothing to do with the cleavage and everything to do with it being a pretty terrible design from the helmet to the boots.
Then again, I found out recently that lots of people love Aranea as a character despite her not having much of a character, arc or presence in the game (or much value), so...
*shrugs*
Half of FFXV is at odds with itself in terms of design. You have this fantasy based on reality take with cars and then a few characters that are overdesigned crap befitting of another FF game.
Male sexualization is such a problem in games! It's so rare to find a male character who is presented as serious and competent without shoving his hot muscles and straining bulge all up in your face!I'm assuming all the people here hating on Cindy a slightly more relevant NPC were also outraged by a main character like Gladious looking like some dude from Magic Mike right?
Heh, i started working on a translation as soon as Koozek PM'd me, but it looks like many others chimed in meanwhile lol
Still, went through all the FB posts, take a look
On Aranea:
On Gentiana:
On Ardyn:
Umbra:
On developement:
On FFVIIR:
She has a very definite arc. From seemingly cold hearted mercenary to sympathetic to ally. Her interactions with the group are well done, her change or heart is believable and defined which is why she's liked.
Like many aspects of XV, she simply needed more time on screen.
The design fits right within Yoshida's sometimes very questionable FFXII designs TBF. Her work on Time Travelers is really grounded.
Oh no... This guy did a bid job.
Though I must say, I actually rather like Aranea's design.
FFXV has great character designs. Love Gentianas.
Trigger Warning!Cindys design is fine.
