Diversity confirmed! At least one black guy in FFXV! Also Donald Trump.

That's Harrison Ford.
 
Regis is missing his angry Yakuza scowl. Also I want to see more of Noctis' uncle (?), he looks badass. At least, until they redesign him :P
 
Ug fell asleep and missed all the fun. Anyway, everything looks great! The game is finally coming together and looks so fun.
 
tfw mafia ff was traded for backstreet goes camping :(

RIP 2006 vision and best noctis outfit

The road trip aspect was always a part of FFVsXIII & the main cast has remained fairly similar, only the clothes are all black & have some finer details in them now. And Noctis is still wearing casual t-shirt & shorts, just not as baggy shorts or as leathery a t-shirt as the OG ones.
 
Regarding Regis, I think they should have kept the old design for young Regis and aged that version into something similar to the craggy old wizard vibe they're going for with the new design. It would make his sacrifice feel more impactful and jarring in it's results.

Besides that I don't think I have any problems with anything I've heard. Chocobos look splendid. :)

Tuxedo guy is creeping me out, man. lol

Also, looks like Gentiana is always watching.

Hah!

Luna: "Why you creepin though?"
 
lol, a Japanese fan asked on the boards if the soup scene was still in.

LOL

[Edited]
looks like someone down voted that post lol
If I had an account there, I probably would have up voted for his sense of humour.
If he/she posted that in all seriousness, I dunno what to say... =.=

Yeah, i like the new look, but this (mixing them both) would have been better.

I can see Luna being frequently surrounded by creeps and fishy guys trying to turn her into a tool.
 
I think the changes to Stella/Luna, and to a minor extent Prompto was done together by Nomura and Tabata when Nomura was still involved. Now that he's busy with other things and Regis' story has been rewritten, we don't get an updated design from him and thus a new artist makes that design.
 
I never liked that costume, always felt too KH-like for my tastes.
Since alts were somewhat confirmed, this outfit has got to be in.
Sweet.
By what Nomura had said about the game, it was always going to be backstreet goes camping/road trip. We just weren't shown that part of the story until TGS 2014.

There still seems to be a tone shift from the initial reveal all the way to now. Not saying the game or the road trip aspect should be super cereal, but Regis turning into an old bearded guy from what we he was prior, Stella getting cut, etc. Just makes me wonder what could've been had everything with Square gone to plan.

A game released between 2008 and 2009.
 
Sweet.

Even the less serious stuff was something that they've been meaning to do from the start. Nomura talked about how he doesn't want the whole game be quite as doom & gloom as what they had shown from Versus XIII and how he'd want to have the kind of goofy humor that old FFs had, with Noctis & his friends goofing around at times. They simply didn't show that aspect much (other than Gladio rough-housing Prompto).

There are some bigger changes to the character & storylines, but those mostly seem to stem from the fact that Nomura's vision for the game expanded into something that would/could include sequels whereas the FFXV we have now needs to be more of a self-contained thing, so they've streamlined some aspects of the story & cut others. And of course some changes are just the kind that happen as something turns from a concept trailer like VsXIII's E3 2006 trailer into the finished thing (especially with projects that take this long).
 
I can't get over the new design for Regis, and it's not that the design is bad or anything but it doesn't fit IMO.

Lucis is the only modern kingdom of that world so it's king should look like a modern day king too, and no, I'm not talking about if he wears a suit or not (although it doesn't help that they added that cape and pieces of armor that look so medieval), the face of the new Regis looks like the face of a generic fantasy king, like a king from a disney movie or GoT.

Now lets compare the original Regis to a modern king (king of Spain I think)

The original design fitted perfectly not to mention you could see the resemblance to Noctis, sigh I guess I'll need more time to get used to it.

Modern kings in the real world have ceremonial outfits that they don't wear everyday. In one of the concept arts they showed today Regis is only wearing the suit, so that's not necessarily completely gone.

The new Regis does have a softer look to him, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, depending where they are taking the story.

What the fuck happen? New Regis looked so jaded and confused, like he just heard the new Lil' Wayne single or something.

While I do like the old design better, I do think they could have picked a better picture than this 'surprised' pic.

Also, was Cor always mentioned as being this much older than Noctus and his group? If he and Regis fought together in their youth (implying either no Noctis or at least a baby), that would make Cor probably over 40?

Cor is 42 years old.
 
I wonder if this game can even be judged on its own merits anymore. It seems like the only things to say about it is how it is greater or lesser than in development versions of itself.

Reviews of FFXV should have a Versus Metric that rates how much it is like Versus XIII, and a marketing tilt that affects the score based on how its various components compare to previously marketed versions of those components.
 
A Japanese game website called "Dengeki Online" has put of the Q&A in text.
I'll quote the original source, so someone can correct me if I'm wrong.


『FF15』製品版ではリミットブレイク的なシステムを搭載。コスチュームも変更できる【TGS2015】
http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/001/125/1125154/

【質問】二段ジャンプ、メニューを開かないでリアルタイムでの武器変更、空中コンボはありますか? ファントムソード状態ではなく、通常時で可能かどうか知りたいです。

【回答】二段ジャンプはなく、空中コンボはあります。通常の状態で使えます。

 リアルタイムでの武器変更はゲームやキャラの根本の設計にかかわるので、すべての武器の変更はできませんでした。製品版では、自分で設定できる4つの武器のプリセットをリアルタイムに切り替えられるようにします。プリセット以外の武器を装備したい場合はメニューを開く必要があります。

The part which is creating confusion is the "自分で設定できる4つの武器のプリセットをリアルタイムに切り替えられる" part.

I tried translating which is the following.
Regarding real time weapon changing, it affects the core part of the game and character, thus you can't change every weapon.
In the retail version, you can switch between presets made out of 4 weapons which you can set by yourself. If you want to equip a weapon which is not in your preset, you'd have to open the menu.

I'm not sure about the "you can switch between presets made out of 4 weapons".
Because some Japanese summarisation blogs (まとめブログ) are interpreting it as setting 4 individual weapons to switch through.
Instead of, switching through multiple presets made out of 4 weapons.

Anyways, I quoted the original source since its what Tabata said.
Sorry I couldn't clear up the confusion.
