New Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV screens

I'm guessing to more closely match Lena Headey in the movie. Nyx looks vaguely like Aaron Paul.
It's neither hear nor there to me with XV. FFXV as a game had a promise to keep as far as releasing something that was some semblance of what Versus XIII looked like.
I do hope they move away from the anime style in games after XV(and VIIr). While still being creative and elegant about it, of course.

S-E Visual Works still kicking ass.
No thank you. The game design is better.

The movie was mocapped and animated with the english VAs, the japanese version is a dub. Like somebody else said it's a MGSV/RE5 situation where they're not reanimating the scenes over for Japan. The majority of characters are modelled after their english VAs.

It's really weird because Notics & co are really hitting those jpop boyband tropes and then this looks all "futuristic Game of Thrones"-y.
Also, if Lena Headey had the time and the name recognition over the Japanese VA; Yeah they're going to go with her for mo-cap. It's not like Japan is the only territory they're selling this to.

There are two FF15 games now?

Can't tell if serious, but this is the feature film that tells the story of the invasion of Noctis' kingdom while he's away on his road trip that the game will cover.
No a movie.

This is a CG movie, like Advent Children.
This is a movie that takes place during the main character's hometown while the main character is out of town in the main game.

Honestly watching that teaser trailer did not get me excited. Doesn't mean the movie will suck but I have no idea what I'm supposed to care about.

The king, (pic on the last page), used to look like that before he was modeled after Jon Campling.
Considering that their primary focus is modernizing FF by striving towards a synthesis of western AAA and final fantasy that may have been a good idea.

Nope.
Eh, I wish movie cast was more consistent actually. The setting is Shinjuku.

I just realized how much old Regis looks like Hans Gruber:
I'm loving the look of Kingsglaive. The whole idea of a modern world with "olde tradition", a city with skyscrapers and knights on patrol, yadda yadda yadda. FFXV's world just has me so damn interested in it all.
Modeled after Shinjuku. There's no Japan in FFXV. They could literally take inspiration from Shinjuku and fill it with whomever they want because FFXV's world is its own setting. I mean, Lestallum is modeled after Havana and Malaysia, two VERY different locations. Does that mean that town's going to be filled with either Malaysians or Cuban-inspired people? Both or neither? FF's worlds are just their own. We all know Cloud and Tifa are Japanese-looking, yet they come from Nibelheim, a traditionally European Alp-like village. Nobody questions that because that's just how FFVII's world is.

Yeah he did.
Yeah, completely agree, the Versus/XV world is great, it's looked awesome ever since the old reveal ages ago.
Striving towards a synthesis of those two things doesn't really mean or require changing the art style. He even says older titles had that crown.

That's true, but it just feels out of place here. I think FFXV the game embraces different nationalities and cultures more than the movie. Even if that's not very much.

The best forever, i don't like the realistic look of the new CG as well.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
It wouldn't be changing the art style, aside from the character models the game visually is aiming for photo realism despite the fantasy setting. He says that older games held the crown of being considered cutting edge, because they were, FFVII was mindblowing at the time. It's pretty obvious that in a lot of ways they're chasing a western audience especially this movie. Honestly considering the cast, i'm really wondering about the quality of the script compared to the one that we'll get in the game.

OG Regis. The Best. No contest.
OG Regis looks more like Noctis's dad compared to the new Regis. Sorry, i'm still bitter about the change from old to new regis.
Indeed. At least they've got biker girl. She's my favorite design from the movie.
If they're going to model characters after actors again, I think it'd be cool to see a protag modeled after Hiroyuki Sanada(aged down I guess).

what the heck is wrong with people?
nothing is wrong with the way the women in this movie look. realistic women with flaws are better than whatever anime you worship.

But in locations or people? I don't recall seeming much variety in people in footage and in Episode Duscae. Most of the people look vaguely Asian, as they tend to do in many FF games(especially the ones Nomura designs for).
There's actually Black and Asian Kingsglaive members. Sure there are more obvious White ones(which IS annoying), but that's already pretty varied. I'm just wondering if we'll see that type of diversity in the game itself.
That and, in the second pic, I kinda like the look of the guy between center, pondering dude and red-haired guy. Looks un-dudebro-ish. I value different facial structures. Not every body has the same facial frame. Some people got wider jaws, bigger chins, longer faces and so on. That sorta thing adds to variety and unique character looks.

Yeah, will probably look ridiculously stunning.

So if the developers were to max out a 1080gtx at 1080p. We'd get close to that graphically?
I posted that because I was wondering if there was any significance to the piece of metal sticking out of his head in the film.

I actually dig the character design...
If only we had these guys for a party in XV and not the boy's band...
