Driving around Insomnia would be nice, and it could be in indicator ono big Insomnia could be, along with the keys needed to get around in it, and imagine if we can upgrade the Replica Regalia into the Type-D model, we could bounce off enemies, and drive on.

The Versus model is interesting as i'm inclined to believe it was used as a test model before they completely shifted to Roen clothing.
If you recall old Famitsu issues, where they had shots of Hammerhead and the like, they had it used very clearly in a bind pose as a placeholder.

So I do believe you're correct.

That Glauca/Forest fight sounds like the part in the beginning of KG where Regis absolutely destroys Glauca. Not saying it'l happen but maybe they'll make that playable someday

Original guy's on Reddit at the moment, he's responding pretty quickly. He said he thinks it's number two.

[Edit] I don't know why, I guess spoiler tags require moderator approval?

Anyway, my other post in here earlier says it's awaiting approval. I spoke with the guy, he said that pastebin link on The Lifestream is his.

He also showed me some spoilers regarding the Kings of Yore too, on top of saying he stuffed up the trophy formatting for the Cerberus and Omega ones in his original post, which has now been copied everywhere. Said the correction to Cerberus should be as: Tri-headed Triumph. Omega's is Through the Dimensional Rift and that everyone ought to know, and additionally apologized for the formatting stuff up.

Can you link me the Reddit page? Can't find it lol super curious

And the link to the pastebin too? Sry all of this info is hard to keep track of XDD

I'm talking to him via his private messages, his English isn't fantastic though.

As for the 'tower', given Zegnautus Keep is depicted as being docked on top of a giant tower, could it be that? And maybe, Adamantown could be the Longwythe Rest Area when the Adamantoise quest is on?

It's odd because in 2010 they already had the current Roen designed outfit on his game model, and the fact there is a model in the assets here, where all the assets were created from scratch sometime in 2013 would mean they also recreatd that from scratch too, for whatever reason. I don't think it's left over test model, but is likely just dummied content regardless.

Ohhh, that makes sense. Hopefully he's right about driving to/in the city because then that would mean the map is probably much bigger than we are thinking.

Also the fact that the Kingsglaive HQ may be one of the Nifl bases we have to invade means that we may have other interiors to explore aside from the cidadel!

I don't recall this being discussed yet. But have we learned anything about how the Armiger Unleashed is going to work? Such as the time-limit and what it does differently from the regular Armiger

If you look at a frame literally from first second of the RE trailer, you can see it has 4 action commands similar to telling the bros what skills to use. Each skill costs 1, 2 or 3 bars of something you have to fill up.


Edit: Here.

Rich (the Noesis guy) actually already found the Versus attire months ago, so it's not really anything new. I only know this because there's been a massive stink for months about people wanting the FFXV models to play with.

OG seems to think it will be. He also mentioned something about seeing other things that were interesting to him, but he's been checking quite a bit from the sounds of it and anything he hasn't found multiple references to he's kept to himself. That and he doesn't want to spoil everything for everyone, or so it would seem.

I'll ask OG about it, he probably already knows.

Yeah I know about that, just that the famitsu scans from 2010 were in his Roen outfit, not that old prototype outfit.

There was even older scans earlier than 2010 that had Noctis in that outfit, where they just had 3 Noctis models in place of other characters, but whatever model assets were in those were trashed, basically any model asset in the current game were made from scratch starting in mid 2013 when they moved to Luminous, and that would include them also remaking that old prototype Noctis outfit for whatever reason, even though he had the Roen outfit already by 2010.

A new video from PCGamer about the Windows Edition.
https://www.pcgamer.com/final-fantasy-15-developers-answer-questions-from-pc-gamer-readers/
Here's a summary of what's in there that isn't just general game-related promo stuff. Most of this is probably old news.

They decided to bring XV to PC because modern PCs tempted them due to the series' legacy of using high-end tech, in addition to widening the player base for XV beyond the console scene.
To make the game for PC, the team basically rebuilt the entire game from the ground up rather than simply porting it. This entailed creating new high-quality assets for characters, environments, ect.
They've confirmed they're adding more DLC to all versions of XV after the Windows Edition releases. They pointed out the Comrades expansion as an example of this.
They are including modding including pre-set settings, such as reskinning NPCs as Cactuars. There are plans to further expand available mods.

Regarding the potential of driving in Insomnia, this may very much sound like a leap of logic but maybe it could be similar to something like this?

View attachment 852

Possible, maybe some of the highways are open. Like the map could be segmented, but long stretches of highway connect them? I don't recall the Kingsglaive HQ being particularly close to the citadel area in the movie, but tbh idk where it was in the movie to begin with, or if the game would rely on the movies geography anyway.

AND the fact that we have to collect keys to unlock parts of the city according to the leaks leads me to believe that it will be pretty big.


Edit: Making the city more open, as in we can see more corners of it in smaller parts, over just opening up the citadel and city center more, would DO WONDERS for the map. I really do wonder how it is expanded. Hopefully the former

@NoxFleuret , could you ask OG and see if he is able to tell how big the insomnia map is? I feel like that is the biggest question we could ask in terms of substantial area to explore and maybe drive around in, aside from any interaction with Luna and her stuff.
