Seems like the line of differentiation is here is whether or not the outfit worn by the character was designed by Roen or not. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the only characters who weren't changed or redesigned were those wearing clothes designed by Roen.

Prompto was redesigned a lot.
If he's working on dissidia character designs, yes, he does have to do with Dissidia xD
And to begin with, FF15 has its own designers.
Nomura is working on his own projects now in KH3 and FF7R, as you say, designing WOFF character designs and Dissidia arcade designs. He's literally divorced from the FF15 project in every way.
I'm aware. I think it's interesting it was repurposed like this. Seems like SE is trying to justify the collab by not messing with the designs, even if they don't necessarily align with the new direction of the project. That most of them still maintain the ditched skull motif seems to suggest a reluctance to alter them too much.

Nomura with the XV remake in 15 years
I dunno about that, as Regis and others also wore Roen clothes.

I'm just saying this piece of news about Old Noct's designer could have gone either way... It's not like the FF15 team is forbidden by law from asking Nomura to design characters.

Wait, I'm confused. Are people saying Nomura did not design the characters for FFXV? He did; the clothing was designed by Roen. I remember reading somewhere before that the uniform(s) we saw Noct (and co) in were basically placeholder outfits until a design was finalized by Roen.
Also, look at the 50 min gameplay video at the 15 second mark. It credits Nomura as the main character designer.

Just watched the gamersyde vid, and aside from a few gameplay and grafix-related annoyances, I have two major concerns:
1.the emptiness of the world
and
2.tankiness of the enemies.
1. I've noticed a worrying similarity between this video and the MGSV 40 minute video back then, which is that they cut the actual traveling from one point of interest to another. Now, MGSV actually fastforwarded those parts, but the effect is the same: skip over the traversal because it is too boring to showcase.
The one thing I hate about open world systems is when they're not done right, they can really take the fun out of a game. I know the common argument for FF XV is that the huge open empty world fits contextually, so that you really feel like you're on a great journey, but I don't really subscribe to the whole "context over fun" idea.
2. Subjective but: The bigger enemies just take a million hits to down, and you barely see their lifebar moving. This was one of my least favorite things in Xenoblade Chronicles. I don't feel like I'm hurting the enemies, I don't feel like my weapons have any punch. Like with Reyn, when you fire that huge-ass freakin cannon point blank at an enemy's head and the huge explosion and it takes a trillion health aaaand... then you see the enemy lifebar is still like 85% full.
Honestly, I think my main problem with these kinds of tank systems is that it just makes every fight too tedious and repetitive.

Pretty sure no one is saying that. Nomura designed the (young) playable characters as well as Luna. He didn't design Old Noct, but he could have if they had asked him.

It's embarrassing to admit now that everyone watched the videos and dissected which X1 and which is ps4, but I only just now noticed that all the most glaring FPS drops in teh video were actually from x1 version.

I think it would've been cool of them to already label if footage is PS4 or XB1, as they have pretty stark differences regarding performance and visuals.

This part confused me alil. Is that mad good reflexes or is that a move? I don't remember being able to work so fast in the platinum demo

Final Fantasy XV is gonna give me so many feels.
Platinum Demo doesn't have an OP Noctis. He will go way more crazy as we progress through the game. Just my assumption.

Yup. Hopefully they don't delay again when they find out the X1 is a significant issue with performance and want to polish the X1 version.
Agreed. The power of the music we've been hearing in this song, the Uncovered trailer song, etc. really puts a lot of emphasis on how good the OST really is.
Looks like the full game will allow this, assuming your MP allotment supports it. The PD was slow as hell, but also really limited your movement with warp striking.
The part where he's warp chasing it looks like a move to me or that could be the way they shot it for the trailer.

Thats because the iron giant never moves away but you can do that.

All those leaks were true then : If so would not buy, sounds like crappy plot.

Dude, the director himself said the leaks didn't get everything right.
Also the summary of any game won't make the plot sound good. If people had heard the ending of TLOU as a summary, the game would be laughed at.

Just looking at the first couple of lines and you can several have already been dispelled by the 50 minute video and the Kingsglaive movie.

It's a bit confusing. From what I've gathered, all leaks so far were right on something that couldn't have just been a lucky guess, yet, have been contradicting each other at the same time.

I think the combat will be one of the most positive aspects of this game, really does look like so much fun.

Guys, I think this isn't the thread to discuss the possible leaks =/
He designed all of the previous Versus designs, not the new ones after he left the project. As far as know, characters like Iris, Cindy, new Regis, Old Noctis, all of Kingsgalive cast were not his creations.
Hehe, do some of you remember these Versus prototype images from back in the days?
Looks like the one at the bottom was Niflheim (the larger image is from the recent E3 trailer):
Source: @Cloud9Zero.

He didn't design all of the Versus designs.
Ardyn, Aranea, Verstael are all by Ferrari. I'm willing to bet Iris is by Nomura, considering he designed Gladio and he always had siblings that were mentioned in his character synopses. I'm willing to bet Cidney was by Ferrari from Versus as well. Both Ferrari and Nomura haven't been in touch with Tabata's staff.

Ooohhh shiiiiit finally!
I always thought this was Niflheim too and it looks like i was right (Uncovered trailer @4:01)
Haven't seen that one yet, thanks!
Animations for this game are among the best I've ever seen in a video game.
Ferrari...that italian guy? He was pretty cool. But i wonder when in development Cindy was made if that was the case.
Someone is gonna have to bet SE for a documented timeline of the FF Versus 15 saga.
Also, now that i think about it, Nifleheim was the area where they fought the Behemoth in the 2011 Versus trailer, and where Dragoon lady shows up

That gif really points out tabata did at least try to keep that versus magic lol. She comes down at him just like thatFerrari...that italian guy? He was pretty cool. But i wonder when in development Cindy was made if that was the case.

What's nice is it seems they'll be able to reuse these animations in future projects. Cloud's animation when walking sideway through a narrow corridor in FFVII:R is the same as Noctis'.
Lol yeah. FFVII R feels like an FFXV mod in many places.
Nah, that was Insomnia during the invasion.Ferrari...that italian guy? He was pretty cool. But i wonder when in development Cindy was made if that was the case.
