I don't know if BD2 will strictly stick to their new roadmap, they already skipped the Spring deadline for the additional content that was supposed to arrive outside of Mod Tools. They usually like to throw in suprises that they haven't highlighted before, just sayin'.


Hmmm



I hope not, especially after they made a big deal about shifting to their new IP. Last year reported 70% of the team staying, though it could be possible that either a downsize indeed happened or that the new wave of DLC has took a lot more resources than expected.



Go on.... ;)
Noctis VA? Tatsuhisa Suzuki or Ray Chase?

yeah he made it from zero
It's a modified Luna model with assets like those boots, skirt, belt and corset swapped in from different games models. While the hair mesh was also modified from Luna's. The white top looks like it was made from scratch or at least itself also modified from model asset too. That person gets a lot of clothes assets from Deviantart, which has a large collection of model rips from games and original clothes models.

FFXV studio is hiring for next-gen project on well-known IP (Or not)

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ffxv-studio-is-hiring-for-next-gen-project-on-well-known-ip.56895/

Luminous Productions, the studio behind Final Fantasy XV, have put up nearly 20 job postings for various positions on the Japanese job-hunting website Creative Village. In order to tell potential sollicitants what kind of project they'll be working on and what their responsibilities within the team will be, the job listings include a bunch of details about Luminous Productions' current project.
In other words, the studio is working on a futureproof version of the Luminous Engine and on a new installment in a series that is well-known worldwide for next generation consoles. Given the studio's track record, the portfolio of Square Enix' Japanese arm, and the details in the job listings, a Final Fantasy game is the most likely option.

Looking at the actual Japanese that seems to be a mistranslation, it doesn't say anything about Luminous Productions working on a well known AAA IP, it says the job posting is for a new AAA class game that will be sold worldwide, and that it's for a studio that is in the "new games business", it says nothing about it being for an existing well known IP. That guy on Resetera that translated that made a massive mistranslation.

Here's the actual Japanese text.
新しいゲームビジネスに挑戦するためのスタジオです。

AAAクラスのゲームを開発し、世界中に販売します。

Also looking further, those job listings had already been posted in English on the Luminous Productions website since it went up, and the only mentions of a "world famous" or "world reknowned" in the job description is for the Live Services Planner and the Data Analyst. Where for Data Analyst is says "You can structure the analysis system for a world-famous AAA game title", and for Live Service Planner it says "You can think of and excute service plans for world-renowned large scale game titles on your own". None of the actual game dev positions making game assets, programming, scenario, art or graphics positions mention that, and at most only mention the positions being for "high end AAA games" or "high end AAA games for the world!"

Data Analyst
Live Service Planner

Also the official English Translation for that Japanese quote in my post above is this.
This studio was launched to take on new challenges in the game business.

We will develop AAA class games and sell them throughout the world.

Finally took a look at the XV Steam Workshop. I found some little titbits. First is a Gilgamesh outfit for Gladio. Doesn't it suit him...

Next is a new weapon called the Blade of the Hexatheon.


EDIT: Oh, another one. Noctis wearing Ravus's garb. He just looks great! If a little odd.
I agree, these swimtrunks fit Gladio much better ;)

I was wondering... Maybe Episode Aranea took place in Cartanica and Gralea, that's just my thoughts.

collage-1532455561855.jpg

This screen comes from the 2014 trailer and it seems Cartanica, in these days they trying to update this place with new street and other stuff, we know that Episode Aranea took place in Niflheim and we know also that concern the "worst day of her life".

In Episode Duscae there's the typical blood moon (probably connected with the plague) and the weather in general changes when you go far from the map with the glitch (near Lestallum)... From Episode Duscae they retrieve some things, like the "chain combo system" and who knows, maybe the red sky and the blood moon too with Episode Aranea or Ardyn (but probably this one took place in Lucis).

I've edited the screen making it black and white to see better the objects, that monster near Noctis seems a Sabertusk, typical in Lucis, but we can see that "flying thing monster/daemon" only in Niflheim and that structure is like the others in Cartanica lel.

Ps. Sorry for my english.

I swear I saw what appeared to be small houses on the left in the distance behind the machine-like structure in the edited picture you did to see things better, but my eyes might be playing tricks on me, but I felt this needed to be said.

That area is just Duscae, in this screen on the left you can see the same rock formation thats behind the machine as well as the water tower, the other buildings are hidden behind the rock.



In this gif you can better see the buildings as well as the street:



Looking back at this, Duscae changed quite a bit in the final game, all the mountains and rocks are completely different and the watertower and buildings were replaced with different one for some reason:
