That's some great concept art.
Stella seemed like a great protagonist too, wonder if she'll reappear someday with a different name, like FFXVI.
Noctis in Nomura's trailers seemed like a completely different personality compared to Tabata's Noctis. With Nomura, he always had a serious, gloomy expression.
Dialogue from the gif
Noctis: Do you have a plan? Something 10 times worse than their own?
Ignis: I am going to think a way to return it hundredfold
Noctis: ''small bitter smile''
Sad that this gif is more exciting and higher budget than anything we got in XV. But open world and cup noodles!!!1111!!! so it's okay
Noctis & his bandmates are the best & only good part of FFXV's storytelling. Try harder, edgelord.
By the way, for those who still don't understand the appeal of Stella, there's this post that pretty much sums it up :
Oh, man, I remember writing this one and being completely ignored by people just saying to let it go. Came as a surprise while I was browsing this.
I am more concerned how long it would take SE to think up of another (offline) mainline FF heroine that doesn't fit the mold of the FF archetype, making her a unique character. I sure hope it doesn't take another 10 years. Not that Stella might have been an archetype herself, but at least conceptually, she was already represented as someone against those archetypes.

Some of you people reach for the Stellas when it comes to hating this game. Move on.

Going through design documents and art works is probably much more interesting than what we got.
That's really not that hard when they even managed to make the world in a FF game boring with this one.
The meteor crater and altissia were the only interesting looking areas. In a fucking FF game.

Also, do we know who's the artist behind them? It doesn't look like Nomura's style, but I really really like it.
FFXVI should star Stella as protag.

From Episode Duscae
Today Square-Enix held a community event in Japan for Final Fantasy fans and first-timers.
Oh, completely missed that, amnesia it is lol.
I also missed the fact that Gentiana's outfit color scheme was the reverse of Ravus'. That's a pretty neat concept. As with everyone here, I wonder if she played the yin (or the yang) to Ravus' yang (or yin) when it comes to Stella.
Why did/still do care about Stella so much in the first place? We barely know shit about her.
If only someone at Square hadnt made that PS3 tech demo .who knew memes can kill.
You really, really hate this game huh? Every single thread has you shitting on it at least four times.No they're not.
They are paper thin anime archetypes ,and their irrelevant(hilarious)meme spouting on the overworld got old pretty fast.
Agree 100% on the Versus vs. XV argument. XV had all the same potential Versus did, it just didn't reach the full extent of that potential. What we're left with is a conceptual game with great ideas vs. an actual game with great ideas and flawed execution. Naturally, people look at the little we can confirm of what was in Versus and think, "wow, this looks so much better!" Without realizing that it never had an execution at all; it could have easily been just as flawed. The core concept between the two does not seem that different to me (aside from Stella, who... yeah, I'm not touching this argument right now)This is a similar sentiment to what quite a few people in this thread have said, but it doesn't really bother me that we didn't get the original version of Versus XIII, as I liked the core story concepts behind FFXV even if I was quite frustrated with the execution of it all. What does disappoint me is that looking at these storyboards/concept art, this version of Versus/FFXV looks like a denser version of the FFXV that we ultimately got. It's the little things, like Stella/Luna with Noctis, Stella/Luna and Noctis using some damn phones, Stellna and Gentiana bonding, Ravus being more prominent, and more stronger use of the supporting cast. Umbra having a human form would have at least added another supporting character, as FFXV was quite lean in that regard.
I love the designs of Gentiana and Ravus being echos of each other, with Ravus white outfit/black arm, and Gentiana's black outfit/white arm-pauldron thing. Gentiana's design in general here looks great.
This is me assuming the art is Ferrari's: even though the way a lot of his concept art sexualizes and objectifies female characters disappoints me, I still think he and Soejima are two of the rare concept artists off the top of my head that effortlessly can design actual fashionable clothes. I think Cindy's design when taken as a whole is terrible, but the individual pieces are absolutely brilliant - her hat, her jacket, her belt, her boots. (Just, you know, terrible for a mechanic.) If the art isn't Ferrari's, it's great, whoever it is.
In one of the concept art pieces, there's one a blonde haired man with short hair and white outfit, kinda looks like Rufus Shinra - I wonder if it was the same man that was by Iedolas' side in the original Versus/FFXV trailers. He always had a very distinctive character design that stood out from the other Nifelheim characters, I was surprised to see him cut.
Bit random, also props to whoever did Prompto's anddesigns for the new FFXV DLC, they both look great.Araena's
thank the director:
I always wonder what happened to this plot point as well as Noctis sleeping all the time. All they had to do to incorporate the red moon was to say that it was from the Starsourge. Seeing this is making me so annoyed at all of the great ideas and had but the subpar execution.
Because in the Versus trailer she was presented as the FF version of Claire Danes in Romeo + Juliet and people love that version of the story.
(aside from Stella, who... yeah, I'm not touching this argument right now)
The Umbra human form art matches with the leaks about the dogs having human forms and the leaked artwork of an unknown character that Roberto Ferrari said he couldn't comment on:

-There were a line of side missions involving Loqi, a general of Niflheim, beginning in the second game. He looked different than in the final version.
At least he released 3 offline HD FF games on a cursed engine and delivered on time for the 2 sequels.
Toriyama is probably a good director, and his games were decent.

of course. He's the best.
Tabata? Nomura? pfft
This argument over hypotheticals is actually never going to end, is it?
The reverse is also true. The hate brigade and Tabata pitchfork mobs are just as ubiquitous.Welcome to every FF XV thread. The defense force for both XV and Versus is pretty insane. Not to mention the Tabata praise.
of course. He's the best.
Tabata? Nomura? pfft
He's pretty fond of Lightning. I think he did the rose comparison.Is this the same guy who is in love with Lightning so much, to the point its very creepy?
I'd say you're reaching, that shit wasn't in those games. Try again.

Oh yeah. Good point lol. At least those games don't have a chapter where 5 minutes of it is spent fighting a couple enemies in the most nonsensical manner possible and then the rest of the chapter is either shoving product placement in your place or ending the chapter unlike this game.

Projecting is a hell of thing.I'll never understand this obsession with stella that some people have. we knew little to nothing about her, how are some of you so damn attached?!
