FFXV discussion thread [No Spoilers]

Nope.

"The hype is real"

Yeah, to like one person on this board lmao. So real.

Sorry what? Theres a couple other people who think it might be real here too.

In a million shattered pieces, deader than dead.

Well jokes aside, Stella's image still exists within Luna. They look pretty much identical, comparing the 2013 XV reveal.

I made this comparison waaaaay back earlier this year when I noticed that the new CG render of Luna looked like Stella from 2013. I called out that they might have changed Luna's design to look more like Stella, but literally everyone ignored me calling me crazy. However, I was right in the end.

The first image on the top left is the comparison with the new Luna render with the 2013 Stella render. If I blur out the line, it would pretty much look symmetrical.

I remember that.

Lol almost forgot how mildly-dead she looked in comparison to her new model.

you can see luna with her hair untied in altissia, it's identical to stella (from 2013 render);

and stella is basically namine 2.0

original stella from 2008 or so trailer is still the best, she looked like an adult woman while her future iterations they made her more cute.

I distinctively remember people being triggered over her Namine look back in E3 2013.

Honestly didn't mind it that much even if her older designs were more attractive.

Luna from Dawn 2.0 trailer was favorite Still happy with final design.

Kingsglaive Luna is my favourite.

the true FFXV ending lol

"Oh, sure. Go run off with her instead anyway. Its not like we shared any moment worth a damn. *cries*"

In my own personal opinion as an artist, the pre 2013 Stella looked too ''ideal'' aesthetically (Noctis too). Slim cheeks, small chin, narrow face; it was just too visually perfect, much like out of a manga. 2013 Stella changed to a more round softer visual where she appeared more human. Post 2013, personally Luna looked like she was combined with Stella from 2013 and before. With the round natural features but also combining the features from pre-2013. But visually the nose was too small defined, chin was too long, mouth was undefined, eyes slanted, it had a weird balance.

Personally I think it was a good choice to go back a step. 2013 Stella may look ideal in the sense of appearing cute, but it had the right visual balance.

2013 Stella? You mean that CGI render? Because she didn't appear in the trailer.
In my opinion current CGI render of Luna looks better, atleast for my taste.

Yeah the render, because that's the first and last time we see her. But the current Luna looks identical to the 2013 Stella render, with my point being is a great thing (for my own personal tastes too).

Areana is best woman (she's 30 in-game)
"Stop bitching, start killing" never gets old.
Versus XV is about as likely as the Browns winning Super Bowl LI.
Tabata should have been in charge from the start.
Who's Stella?

Honestly if FFXV sells 7.5-10 million in it's lifetime sales, then yah knowing Square Enix it will probably happen, or at least a sequel of some sort, as well as a prequel

http://imgur.com/a/E7s0q Hell this seems pretty likely FFXV sells 7.5 - 10 million if it sells 10 million then yeah I can actually see it happening that's close to FF7 sales, and that took several generations that this would have done in one.
Like a Kingslaive being turned into a full game
A Versus XV world being adding into Kingdom Hearts 3 as DLC(I'm assuming that's what he meant)
As well as an entire Versus XV trilogy(I mean Nomura's vision was a trilogy, so why not, I mean it could give them something until they can actually make Final Fantasy XVI, and with the assets already made means we can get games from them in a timely manner as opposed to the WTF we have been getting as of late.

What's the need of turning Kingsglaive into a game?

More fleshed out story, granted if Kingslaive does get turned into a game whether it would be a prequel to XV or this proposed Versus XV(which means story changes), being able to play as Nyx, being able to fight classic enemies like FF7's Diamond Weapon, Ultros, and whatever else.
A more Kingdom Hearts like battle system, that is by far the only need I can think of, but then again Square doesn't really operate on need, if it can sell they will probably make it especially if production isn't too expensive, and it could be good not to absolutely sour anyone who bought FFXV thinking it was Versus XIII, then for you to turn around and announce a Versus XV with the same?(Oh I know Noctis, Ignis, Gladio, and Prompto are staying whether or not they include Stella or Luna(Oh god the debates will roar) I really don't know, but knowing Square they will probably try to force a sequel out of FFXV of some sorts, I mean we got XIII-2, and Lightning Returns after all.

Games with long cutscenes, people complain "so much cutscenes! this ain't a movie, it's a game!". Game removes cutscenes and makes a movie, people complain "not enough cutscenes! make the movie into a game!".

Meh. Classic consumerism.
