Whoa whoa whoa, what did he say?
No idea. He had already edited it. Some I think saw it. All I know is that it was apparently good news but Verendus thought it better to hold the information back.
I want this game to come out right now but fuck me if I want them to "rush" it... Sounds hilarious considering how long this thing has been cooking, but it is what it is. Wouldn't mind a 2015 or even later release if it meant the game would retain the polish and scope it needs to have.

It had great implications about something. Read his edited post
I think he removed the post because he mentioned something pretty specific that might give away his identity.

I thought it was you but wasn't sure. I figured that was the reasoning behind it. Still, good news is good news. It was something he saw you said?

Well it's 2ch.
“It looks like the health potions have been replaced by hairspray and perfume in this one.”
^This made me laugh though.
Don't pay attention to male seiyuu's much, but there's quite a few big names I like in there so pretty good. Plus, Keiji Fujiwara.
most likely, me, i just dont care
since when do Japanese people complain about effeminate men ? Also these are some of the most normal looking FF character designs to date. Men wearing suits who are friends of Noctis who is royalty. They are the upper class of society, the need to look pampered.
I don't think any of them looks too feminine either.

They did say they were planning on doing multiple games in this universe.
The fact that they look like a jpop group will make the inevitable Final Fantasy XV-2dresssphere suitsphere edition all the easier to transition to. Not to mention it will allow Nomura to get the musical game he so desperately wants.

I want suitsphere in XV-1....I want dat. I don't want jpop musical but I want da suits.
the question i ask myself is why would they continue with this model did XIII-2 even sell as well as XIII, i'm not even convinced LR is gonna sell that much
It doesn't matter if XV-2 wouldn't sell as much as XV itself, the point is that they can recycle some assets + they already have some established gameplay systems & a game engine in place as well as a whole world with more or less rich history & characters, so they can create new content faster & more easily. They don't have to come up with a completely new world, gameplay and stuff, which takes a huge effort and some trial & error.
So... say XV sold 5 million copies and hardly broke even, then they make XV-2 in fraction of the time and that sold 2,5 million copies. In this scenarioa XV-2 might be infinitely more profitable than XV even if it sold half of what XV sold. Even better if XV is a great game and people REALLY like it and most of them come back for XV-2 if it offers something desireable and something else than an X-2 like departure from XV
This is their bald space marine so of course they would be tired of it.
My wishlist for the summons that show up in this game (Leviathan would be a pick but he's already there):
Ifrit
Bahamut
Alexander
Phoenix
They could create some pretty cool battles surrounding those ones. Bahamut is an obvious aerial battle. Alexander could be a moving, huge obstacle which you have to stop (climb him, run across building to gain height etc.). Phoenix is made of flames and is cool, so you could do a lot of things with it. And Ifrit purely because he was left out in FFXIII. And outside of them, I'd like to see some original ones. No Odin since he carries the stench of Lightning, and the others can take a break for now. I'd like to see some cool original summons pop up though.
Probably expecting too much on the battle scale though.

These are far from their bald space marines (for one, they actually have some personality). I mean, other than Sasuke/Noctis look-a-likeness, how are any of these characters the kind that you can see too often in Japanese games? They aren't even that typical for NOMURA'S designs, let alone as much of a cancer of the character art side of Japanese gaming as baldies are in the west.
If anything, these are many of Nomura's best designs, even if there is some similarity to Jpop groups. Ignis, Cor, Stella, Regis and the evil dudes all look quite different to what I remember playing in the JRPG scene in the last 10 years (or hell, ANY Japanese games).
I personally think the designs in XV are uncommon in anime or games. Anyone can look around for themselves and see how fresh these designs are. People can troll all they want but we have got ourselves some excellent character designs (at least visually) I like how Nomura altered Noctis' design to eliminate sasuke likeness as well.We have yet to see CG or in game renders of stella other than that one pic.

Blonde dude looks like a crackhead.
Love it, and hand't caught it until now. Hopefully there will be tons of little things like this.
edit: it survived. :lol
First thought I had as well. Seriously, they should market them.
This is all thanks to dat PS3 video playback or whatever you call it.
Also, the crazy old guy with the orangish/red eyes people were thinking was Regis, doesn't seem to be. Since in the CG with the swords out between Lucis and the guys in the white robe, right at the beginning you can see what looks to be him. Dunno if that was caught.

Going with this as well.
He's the traitor everyone's looking for!
The Scar of FFXV?
Not bad.

We are going for the Hamlet parallels if that is the case. I'd also like to mention again that I think we see the hooded guy's face at 2:40 of the announcement trailer.
