FFXV Character Models Released

I didn't see the Lightning resemblance
Now I can't unsee it :(

I think it has more to do with the armor design vs Lightning Returns more than anything having the same kind of material and color scheme.

Plus a red signature weapon.
 
So about half the posters here think that's old Noct while the other half think it's young Regis. Do we know for sure which one it is?
It's young Regis
All the old noctis posts are joking

Probably
They do love lightning's armpit
 
Old Noctis is awesome but that outfit ugly as shit given the contest and his father. I've seen you ll end up equipping the father s royal outfit and I'm sure with the little cloak Punished Noctis will be awesome!

This design makes no sense in so many ways.
 
This GIF really points out how stylized some of the original character designs are. In other threads people said they removed the "asian-ness" from the characters. But it's definitely they removed the "anime" from them. It makes sense if they wanted the characters to look more real. And I prefer the realistic aesthetic.

It's definitely mostly the hair. Lighting has the longer parts of her hair in the same position. And because the image is small with perfect anime stylized faces, hair is one of the most distinctive features.
 
old noctis looks so much better then the young version

I think it's okay cause he looks changed, but other than that it's pretty much your typical western looking character. Looks like someone who would fit right into Red Dead Redemption or The Last of Us. Say what you will about Young Noct but at least he's unique in the scope of video games. Not many Jpop/anime looking characters out there.
 
Can't wait to play as Punished Noct.

In some ways the transformation reminds me of a reverse- FF IV.

There might be some story reason for his drastic transformation. i.e. the magic takes its toll on the user, causing extreme aging or changing of features. But then again, something big seems to have happened in the story.

It makes no sense
Not when the entire cast still retain the stylized visual works look, including both old and pubescent Noctis
He just looks like a completely different person right now
 
Kinda ? Wouldn't you be spoiled if they showed a video of TLoU prologue?

I mean if they're ok with showing it in today's footage and then releasing a HQ model of it months before the game's release, then I think it might not be a spoiler. Like the game wants you to know Noct is gonna get old.

Weight gain, different hair style, addition of beards, some sun tan and rougher skin as a person grows old makes them look different. I'M SHOCKED.
 
Didn't the first set of 4chan spoilers say that they didn't even have a model of Old Noctis yet? (As of June)

...is it really possible that Square just used a model of young Regis as a placeholder for demo purposes?

SE is the last one I would trust to not spoil a game. They spoil a lot of each FF. I think showing these old versions was simply not necessary.

They wouldn't release a CG render then. And as we all know, they would never change something they already revealed. Never.

Come on now
This is khardashian level of plastic surgery we're looking at here
All that is missing is Noctis with a gigantic ass

Those things would be natural, sure. He seems to have undergone that as well as a shift in visual style as well. It's bizarre.

But the entire cast didn't retain the stylized look to the same degree as Noct. One of the major ones was Prompto's design. They likely didn't change up Noctis's design too much for the recognition of the original design. But I personally think the Older Noct design isn't that much of a stretch.

What do you mean? Regis's young model is noticeably different than the model in the pics. The footage today wasn't a demo. It's what the game would've been like on release so everything was set in stone. So I doubt they wouldn't have replaced the model by now. To me it looks like Noct is wearing Regis's clothes for another reason.
