I'm just going to interrupt all the asset sniffing here, and knowingly sac-last-post-on-page this very impressive Ifrit video.
I believe it's the same guy who did the aerial combat showcase at a Korean expo before the game released.

When the game first came out, there was confusion over whether Aranea was Bahamut, mostly due to his eyelashes. The full face makes it even more obvious that the assumption was unfounded.
It kind of makes sense with the semi-realistic world direction they wanted to go with - look at how they even added an undershirt to his standard costume for the Abbey Road promo image.
An open-shirted all-leather ensemble is pushing things as it is, going entirely shirtless on top of the rest could have been weird.

Finally beat the game. The final battles were epic. The whole 10year skip was cool too. It was definitely one of the saddest FF's since like FFVI when Kefka actually won. Loved the game through and through. So much stuff cut from what Nomura had in mind tho. The Leviathan fight lacking what all was in that E3 trailer hurt. Also no Insomnia escape hurt too. Overall I think Nomura's Versus XIII was the game I had been waiting 10 years for. The FFXV we got was completely Tabata's. It's good. Up there with the best of Final Fantasy's if not the best to date in many respects. However Nomura's vision was going to be probably one of the best games ever made...like I still remember every single preview. That story was probably be even more heart wrenching with Stella and Noctis fighting each other, with Etro being actually involved, with Aranea playing a bigger role, etc etc. The combat was probably be better too. Nomura is FF's Kojima. VERSUS was his dream project. But hopefully he'll transfer those efforts fully into KHIII. I loved FFXV overall tho. It's just not the 10 year game I think I was waiting on.
with Aranea playing a bigger role
Finally finished the game this past Sunday. Really enjoyed the game. Here's what I wrote my friends:
So is this whole Pitioss Dungeon being the explanation for the story what everyone is running with now? Someone sent me a video from some YouTube channel called Final Fantasy Peasant and it seemed pretty solid. But I'm literally just now looking into the full story stuff so I'm not sure.
That's my head cannon. Remembering how she was presented in the Nomura trailers she seemed completely different I guess.when was this actually stated?
Hey I was in high school, 10th grade to be specific, when. Versus was first revealed. So lots of speculation on my end. Who really knows what it would've been...Glad you enjoyed the game. But...um...those sure are some assumptions you had about Versus...

It's a shame such AMAZING and WONDERFUL boss was totally unexplained ingame. I will be ever mad for learning about Ifrit's role from some Gaffer literally reading the oficial guide.

I think I'm pretty late to the party, but I read the Engine Blade description for Nier Automata.
I'll just pick up the pieces of my broken heart, shall I? Wah.

W-what's the description?
Oh. Oh....It hurts so good.I wish we'd gotten hints of Regis' and Noctis' dynamic in FFXV itself, the set-up in Brotherhood and the Platinum demo were fascinating.

You walk a dangerous line, my friend. *salutes*

Yoooo. Me too.
10th grade squad salute!!(Yoooo, I was in 10th grade when the Fabula Nova Crystallis trilogy was unveiled too! I remember being overcome with emotion at my computer desk after watching the 15 minute MGS4 trailer. SNAKE PUT A GUN IN HIS MOUTH!!! ;-; XD)
Nah, I elaborated on something Suzuki-san already recently tweeted but decided it wasn't really my place to signal boost or dive into details.
10th grade squad salute!!
And Shinogu everytime I see you on GAF I remember the epicness. Will always cherish this gif bro:
Didn't Aranea just appear in that 2011 TGS VersusXIII trailer where the then-unnamed dragoon just lands on the flying craft? There wasn't much of any character to gleam from that, not that I could recall.
And that latter point... Man, on top of announcing a game really early, especially when it's a series like Final Fantasy with its own baggage to deal with, then add on individual speculations on how the ethereal themes and characters of VersusXIII might have played out? The shift from VersusXIII to XV is always going to be an albatross that XV reception can't ignore, huh? Stella's just one soul in the spectral legion that will always haunt this game...
Though wouldn't VersusXIII be the Fantasy that's now based in FFXV's reality? >_>

Regarding Hellfire, maybe its just me but I swear at some of the interludes/bridges I hear some motifs of the 3 main battle themes that okay in the different world map regions. Or my musical aptitude is severely novice...
Probably the most eye candy FF battle ever.
I REALLY hate the older man model's head on the Prince default armor that you rock for the like ten minute segment. It looks just as weird as going back and putting the end of game armor on past Noctis after finishing the storyOlder Noctis is such a handsome man. Seeing aged versions of other FF characters is now my new aesthetic.

Wish they just had those as full outfits you could use in the past instead i.e. with the face changes as well.
Tho Prompto looks hot af in his end of game outfit but barf at that shitty little beard.
+1Gladio and Noctis are the only ones I really like post timeskip. Prompto has the superglued beard and Ignis looks like Space Dandy or something, idk.
Older Noctis is such a handsome man. Seeing aged versions of other FF characters is now my new aesthetic.
Close-ups:They all looked ace, IMO.
It's harder to tell, but Prompto's face looks older/rounder besides the beard. His hair is different too.

I went to Pitioss last night to explore some more (since I only did the six minute glitch to the end before and was fascinated by that video linking the dungeon to Eos and Ifrit) and then I found out that the Aranea glitch was patched and she'd never rejoin me permanently again. 😢
I mean it's not like there aren't people who like Luna and thinks she's strong despite her lack of screentime but okay.
