The Twitter can go screw itself.

Looks like Luna in the midst of the party in the new ones :> She's with them in their car goofing around with Noct on the right one.

Damn, you beat me to it! I like the new UI look.

That location looks gorgeous: tropical-ish locations are some of my favourite (after snowy ones, that is). Man, I'm pretty excited about the XV world. Hopefully it's as varied as a FF world should be. Also, I hope they make it look a huge, rich one (the only one where you can actually tell it's more than a few small towns is XII, even if you only go to a "few" places).

Yep, it seems like in the middle one is Prompto, Gladio, Regis, Noctis, Luna and Ignis. So I guess they all know each other since childhood.

I think it's Cor, not Regis. I like how Cor is like the cool uncle or big brother to them since their childhood :> Can't wait to see more of him, he's already my fave character, especially after the first in-game footage of him in the last Dev Progress video.

Oh, I think you might be right.

And yes, he's, by far, the one I'm most interested in out of all the characters they've shown.

Hell, his is one of my favourite designs of the ENTIRE series and his background sounds very cool. That's why I was (still am) so dissapointed about not being able to control other characters. The main reason, actually

 

[Noctis_Caelum]

Found a bit bit higher resolution.

So a minimap and new UI with longer bars, each character has it's own MP one.
But what are the 3 circles right next it?
Anyway, I love the water reflections and lightning.^^

From a post on the official forum:

I love seeing their possible inspirations.

I... I actually remember when tgat happened to me. It was the 90s though. Hope you can gift yourself a new keyboard this Christmas!

 

[Noctis_Caelum]

These 3 circles could be the status effect, but why exactly 3?
It could be also the magic system, while Tabata said, it consumes no MP.

 

[LeonBlade]

It looks like there is a small bar to the right of MP or at the very least a break in the bar for some reason. Is that supposed to do with the Guard to not feed into your MP? Everyone has one though, so I'm not sure, it also looks a different color than the MP bar.

As for those 3 circles, I don't think it's just 3 circles, why is there space to the left of the circles with what looks like half circles and something white. I don't think it's text, so could it be something filling these circles? If it is text, then Noctis and Gladio both have the same text for theirs while Ignis and Prompto have the same text for theirs.

I think these slots are for something else.

Going off of Episode Duscae's UI, that is text and it's probably their current HP totals. On the plus side, in Episode Duscae statuses went to the left of the character bars and not to the right so I agree with you that the slots are probably something else.

It might very well be the HP value, but it seems to be in a weird place.

You know, I agree. Also looks kinda small? And I can't help but notice that on the Duscae UI that area was left really conspicuously completely empty.

 

[Noctis_Caelum]

I just love to clarify things with pictures, so I was thinking like that, now that these circles are most probably not there for the status effect.^^

Stumpled upon this on the official forum:
The German version of the official FFXV site has a different character description of Luna than the English one and mentions the world's name for the first time:

"Lunafreya ist seit ihrer Kindheit eine Kannagi, ein Orakel, das im Dialog mit den Göttern die Welt Eos vor der Dunkelheit bewahrt. Sie entstammt der unter Niflheimer Besatzung stehenden Provinz Tenebrae und genießt hohes Ansehen. Trotz oder vielleicht gerade aufgrund ihrer verantwortungsvollen Aufgabe erinnert sie sich auch heute noch oft wehmütig an die Zeit zurück, die sie als Kind mit Noctis verbrachte."

My translation:
"Since her childhood Lunafreya is a Kannagi, an oracle which in dialogue with the gods preserves the world Eos from the darkness. She is descended from the province of Tenebrae standing under Niflheim's occupation and enjoys high regard. In spite of or maybe because of her responsible job she, even today, still wistfully remembers the time back then which she spent as a child with Noctis."
​

What's interesting now is this Wiki article:

In Greek mythology, Ēōs (/ˈiːɒs/; "dawn") is a Titaness and the goddess[1] of the dawn, who rose each morning from her home at the edge of the Oceanus.​

Could be the goddess from this concept-art:
