What do you think about my picture here..Pheonix?
Oh, and a question, where did you get that concept pic of Noctis staring at the Iron Giant and the tiny abstract with Fenrir?

I imagine they are allowed to view some things and only show certain things as well, that's all.
I honestly think that it is better in the grand scheme of things. Having to switch between multiple party members to issue commands is cumbersome. In Type-0 you can switch between party members more freely, but your party members are in confined places where it's easy to have context to their location and what they're doing, not only that, they don't have much freedom in terms of how they traverse the area, so it's easy to acclimate from one PC to the other.
When you look at XV however, there's a stark difference. The main cast is vastly inferior to Noctis in many ways, and the world is vast and your party members can be farther away from you behind a wall or out of sight. Honestly though, the biggest reason why I don't think controlling them manually is useful is because of the lack of any strategic use. In Type-0 switching between characters was useful because they offered unique play styles based on their arsoneal and move set and were balanced across each other. In XV, Noctis is the strongest character, and the rest of the party members are no where near as powerful as him. This makes switching to the other members less desirable overall, as they offer NOTHING that can't be done with Noctis.
If they could somehow find a way to make it work and be useful I would be completely down for having it in the game, the more options the better, but from what I can tell, there's simply no way to balance these characters in a way that makes switching to any of them useful. It's just like in Kingdom Hearts, you would never want to switch to Donald or Goofy because they simply lack the abilities that Sora has.

As with everything, including the game design, I trust that Business Division 2 made the most appropriate decisions. Maybe BD2's next project will make use of more than one playable character, who knows? Tabata's already said that there are many things he and his team could not implement in FFXV and that he'd like to utilize them in a future project; multiple playable characters could very well be one of those things.
Tabata told Famitsu that he's planning to have 〇〇〇〇〇 available as DLC; Famitsu didn't write what it was since Square Enix wouldn't allow them to say. My wild guess is a sequence where the player can fully control a character other than Noctis.

Well done, yo! I forgot that you did this original map, its great and now it is really coming together. I especially like the find on Nifleheim, Nomura showed that concept picture briefly in what, 2008? Good golly gosh. I'm still combing over the updated myth portion!

And I think that could be also a Pheonix.
Perhaps a hybrid, a scull like Diabolos and the rest like Pheonix? xD
A flying undead summon.
@Koozek
Haha thanks,^^
Ah, the E3 2013 "Gameplay"! You know Iv'e seen that video countless times and I never really noticed (cause I never paused the vid there) that was that giant's sword coming crashing down towards Noctis. And With your comparison it looks almost identical to the guardian on the left from the Dawn trailer...so maybe its the same entity...
I don't remember a 3-D artwork video though, especially because neither Bahamut nor Ifrit are officially confirmed (even though they are heavily rumored to be in..) When was that shown?

The only Chinese ad I know of is the one with animated Big Bang..can you link the ad you are talking about?

@Noctis_Caelum Oh, I get it now. Sorry, I'm slow sometimes apparently, lol. I get it now, you cropped that picture out of a still from the commercial. I thought it was some other commercial that had shown still concept art. Anyway thanks again for the clarification!

The picture just like in the old trailer.
Today on May 5th I wish a Happy birthday to the director Hajime Tabata.
Btw, love the avatar change @Lulcielid
That elusive dapper Regis...
Such a great video, I always make mention of the staff of people that work on this game that make the decisions people are happy/upset with it's nice to see many of them here in this video showing who they are and what they work on. People need to remember there are a lot of people that make decisions for this game and it's nice to see a fun team that are very excited for this game.
