Since only ~28% of our poll voters thought this would happen at launch, and ~37% thought this would never happen, I thought it was worth pointing out.

Some images:

 

[High Prophet of Regret]

Still no Stella though.

 

[The Last One]

Still no Stella though.

You can't create ghosts.

 

[xzeldax3]

Wow, the hair looks amazing!

 

[ULTROS!]

Just wanna say: lol at the poll

 

[E_Darkness]

That's some cute hair physics.

 

[RecRoulette]

This goes until Tuesday right? Can't wait to try it out later this weekend.

 

[Spot]

No long hair?

 

[Deft Beck]

Finally, you can play as Lightning.

 

[Keym]

Looks better than 99% of the main game's NPCs.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Still no Stella though.

First post nails it.

 

[Emperor_Uriel]

Whoa. Insanely sexy lady in that first gif, and with a very atypical look too.

 

[ViciousDS]

this multiplayer beta might just be one of the best things to happen to FFXV

everything looks fantastic

 

[sasuke_91]

Still no Stella though.

The hair looks stellar though.

 

[Darryl M R]

Wait FFXV has multiplayer?

 

[Leunam]

No long hair?

In the finished product probably. I was going to say long hair is a bad idea when flipping around fighting monsters but that's absurd.

 

[Rellik]

I didn't even know this was getting multiplayer!!

 

[TurnipFritters]

No long hair?

Beta only has two hair options available.

 

[BadWolf]

No long hair?

It's just from the beta, most of the customization options are locked in it so people can't go all out yet.

 

[Nirolak]

Also, on a totally unrelated note, the new art direction for the Chocobo series seems pretty dreary.

 

[jediyoshi]

It is if they don't want to deal with clipping.

 

[LelouchZero]

I wonder what the skin tone options are like?

 

[Tyaren]

Damn, that hair looks good. O:

 

[PillarEN]

Someone at Square is a fan of Tilda Swinton. Not the first time character models were based on international movie stars for Final Fantasy games.

EDIT: First gif for those wondering

 

[TurnipFritters]

I wonder what the skin tone options are like?

12×6 grid of options, all are actual human flesh tones. But who knows how many look right in the actual game and how many, like, suddenly make your character look green as soon as you start playing.

His name being Joey fits well with this. lol

I wonder what the skin tone options are like?

 

[AlexFlame116]

Lots of options here. Wonder how the rest of the blocked areas look like!

If only they poured that much work and dedication into fixing the main game.

Let's not start this please.

 

[LelouchZero]

Oh that sounds nice and haha!

Oh wow those look like really nice options!

 

[tuxfool]

The Hair is a wonderful piece of physics.


That is, if you ignore the fact that hair doesn't move like that.

 

[ryushe]

Oh, I read "doesn't" and hunkered down in preparation of the shitstorm to come.

 

[Usobuko]

Good, and they don't look like supermodels too.

 

[Umbooki]

Might be time to buy FFXV. I'll forgive the wonky combat if the multiplayer is worth messing with. 🤔

 

[Twookie]

geniunely surprised. apparently the character creator is pretty extensive too which is pretty cool.

If only they poured that much work and dedication into fixing the main game.

haha, this. but it looks kinda nice still!

 

[carlsojo]

..sure.

 

[Z3M0G]

Um... spoilers??

Edit: Oops... I dun fucked up

 

[sasuke_91]

Good, and they don't look like supermodels too.

Except they do.

@post above:

Spoiler

Stella, not Luna. Stella never made it into the game, that's what he's referring to

 

[UrbanRats]

EDIT.

 

[Ray Down]

Um... spoilers??

You can't be serious.

 

[AlexFlame116]

It's cool, but this just makes me upset about not having a really solid singleplayer tho.
Here's hoping for FFXVI.

I don't understand this company, why is multiplayer even a priority, when the story is still a complete mess?

Uh oh. Let's not derail this thread please.

 

[SomethingWitty]

Um... spoilers??

I think they are referring to Stella not being in the final game and instead is replaced by Luna.

 

[UrbanRats]

Uh oh. Let's not derail this thread please.

Fuck it, you're right, edited out.

New hair physics looks cool.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I have the Beta downloaded and can't wait to check it out this weekend.

Hopefully the final multiplayer expansion has more customization variations.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Fuck it, you're right, edited out.

New hair physics looks cool.

They do! I can't wait to see the other options!

 

[royox]

Um... spoilers??

Srsly pal?

 

[QuantumZebra]

Looks better than 99% of the main game's NPCs.

This.

Nomura or whoever designed the vanilla game's characters should be expelled from the industry for life.

 

[shmoglish]

I want that morbol sleeve Tattoo. Or a girlfriend with a morbol sleeve Tattoo

Looks really good, great hair physics. The beta and the final Version is part of the season pass...?

 

[LowParry]

Neat

 

[LordKasual]

I wonder what the skin tone options are like?

Full range. The only downside at the moment is that there's pretty much only 1 base model to build on.

On another note, the option for body fat is pretty amazing

I absolutely love how making them super fat also affects their standing posture as well.

 

[TheCed]

Do you have a hidden passive that makes you

Spoiler

die

after 15 minutes of screentime ?

 

[Blam]

Chocobo Souls?
