The Cindy hate is so laughably misplaced.
Aranea is a far, far, far worse offender. You can be a functional mechanic in Cindy's outfit and it's nothing outrageous compared to what you'll see in any warm-climate city full of young women. Are there some tacky camera angles blatantly designed for fanservice? Yes. But it's a whipping boy that riles everyone up and distracts them from a far bigger joke.
Aranea is an imperial soldier who not only looks drastically different from EVERY SINGLE OTHER member of the Empire in terms of uniform, but her armor is impractical in every single way.
Hate Aranea, not Cindy.
Looks like a silver haired Saix with his hair down.

Why do I need a female character to relate to? I don't play FF games to insert myself but to experience the stories of the characters. Characters, not avatars. I found Prompto not fitting in and lack of self-esteem as a child to be incredibly relatable. Just because you shove a female character in a party, doesn't mean I get anything out of her.
Edit: And for that matter, why is it a company's requirement to represent both genders? Why not all races then? Sexualities? Not every story calls for a playable female character. XV's certainly didn't.

Aranea is the first important character that I realized just joined the team. Together with her, there were also the two comrades biggs and wedge but have not been made then
As I thought. In my design, and the two, they had a suit of armor in theme with that of aranea.
I would genuinely love to know who these people are, I guess Gladio is catered to me but I just find him ridiculous on every level. The fact that I dislike his character doesn't help, but I also don't find him remotely attractive.
Maybe i'm to 'old' (i'm 30) to be into a character that looks like him. If I could ask my 16 year old self I may have answered differently. I used to like the Backstreet boys so anything is possible (i'm not ashamed either, you have to own up to your bad taste).

Yup .isn't aranea a mercenary?
Why is no one talking about how this confirms that there were rewrites every 2 seconds?

Apparently that is Roberto's design for human Umbra, since he gave that reply.
I'm mostly laughing at the fact that it's not something that is supposed to be out there.
Laura: Is this Umbra?
Roberto: I would like to know how did you get this art before answer
Shit i thought you were someone else. I'm saying that outfit was something that looks like it was thrown together on the fly while on the run it doesn't make sense she'd have some identical outfit made while queen.Because I'm replying to your question.
It changing from spin off to mainline, to multiple sequels, to one title doesn't help.Probably becuse it's obvious when you play the game.

That and rushed release.
Sorry, but that's not impressive at all. SE is a big company with a lot of manpower, the ability to attract talent, and a lot of money to finance what is their biggest worldwide IP. Getting an 83 for FF15 is far from impressive, that's just setting a hilariously low bar for a developer that should be able to perform significantly better, since it has all those resources under its umbrella.
I don't think we should be looking at review scores for how 'impressive' something turned out. In terms of sales and profit, FF15 is likely to be a disappointment for SE, but I would like to think they are now smart enough to have known that.

Wait a minute. Doesn't this basically confirm the recent leaks!? oO Way too random not to be from an actual insider.Umbra being able to change between dog form and ninja form makes my heart hurt, since according to an alleged 4chan leaker he was supposed to join the party.
Ferrari sounds so tired of all the Versus project nonsense, I'm glad he got to work on another FF game tho, I hope it works out better this time.
I do agree with what you said, BUT... as I've gotten older, I've ended up gravitating more toward Western RPGs where I do get to have my gender and sexuality represented, and away from Japanese RPGs where all of that is decided for me. Now, I can enjoy a game just fine even if I can't directly identify with the main characterUncharted and The Last of Us as two perfect examplesbut in order for that to happen, you have to give me strong characters and a good story.
And that's where JRPGs have been failing me. Back when my options were Phantasy Star or Final Fantasy VI or Valkyrie Profile or whatever, no problem. But I can't help but feeland maybe it's because I'm older nowthat the stories are getting worse and the characters more worthless in too many JRPGs compared to what we used to get. I'd rather have a no-name character with not as much writing put into them that I can customize than many of the protagonist Japanese devs are asking me to care about. Even with one of my favorite RPG brands in existence, SMT, I'm tiring of the "we're making the MC mute and devoid of a real personality so you can pretend that they're you, which doesn't actually work" thing.
Funny enough though, FFXV is one game where I had zero complaints about the cast. I mean, the story is hot garbage, but the four main boys were all fun and I grew to love them. So, I had fun playing the game. Unfortunately, I consider that to be an exception to how JRPGs are anymore, not the rule.
The 4 main guys' designs suck, Cindy's design is good, and the game is very good.
These are my thought having started it today.

Oh what recent leaks?
If my car has problems, I go to a mechanic to get my car fixed, not my dick sucked.I don't want to defend the outfit but is it really counter productive? Aren't skirts and high heels counter productive for every work too? But they are required almost everywhere where there's contact with people to attract male people(let's be honest), beautiful not too covered girls attract people and that means more money so they are productive.
I don't think that the biggest problem of Cindy is the garbage outfit (Well, it is a problem because it looks really trashy) but more how the game treats her like a sex object every chance it gets... she is just a few notches below Quiet from MGSV

I definitely wouldn't call XV a rushed release. The game needed more time but it's not like they didn't have time to make this game. It was reannounced back in 2013 for gods sake. If anything it just means SE is slow and not very good at making fast developments.

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
Nomura was in charge of the party + Cor in design? Or only Noctis?
I think he's been watching too much Brazzers.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.
Unfinished, no. Rushed, obviously????
The game was delayed, and they were "speaking with Just Cause developers" about integrating flying as late as August 2015...
And they were developing the engine for the game as well...it took so long for optimization to be completed that the game looked horrible in comparison not even 3 months from release.
Nomura was in charge of the party's faces + Stella's face during Versus. When Versus became XV, the party's faces + Stella's face were redesigned by art director Yusuke Naora (and Stella was renamed to Luna). ROEN were in charge of their outfits.
The story kept changing even when Nomura was incharge. Lmao.
Holy shit if true.
FFVIIR better not be such a fuck fest due to nomura

This could be the start of a cheap porno. Especially since she's very blatantly doing nothing that resembles a mechanic working on a car.
Yeah I'm more willing to believe 4 chan, lol.I doubt this is true.
I thought Nomura was the artist for this game.
Clothing was due to Roen.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.
If you guys really think Cindy is as bad as Quiet, then you either didn't play FFXV or you didn't play MGSV. Or you need new eyes / sexual education.
Didn't Naora only redesign them for Chapter 0 visuals, though? I don't see much of a difference in design ever since 2011 for the main party. Prompto being the exception.

The leak or the fact that it was rewritten every 3 months (bc the latter is in the OP)?
