Hurry the hell up November, lol.

The world, their surroundings, the music and the atmosphere, it's all brilliant from the very beginning and it looks like this may be the game that will bring Final Fantasy back for real"

*heavy breathing*!

These are from our new member Munba's Twitter account. Thank you these are incredible.

Spoiler

Wonder where Lucil and Terraverde are on the map. I know they are concept art but the fact that they are named locations intrigues me. And I REALLY want to know if that Desert/Snow area will exist in game as well. GOD my imagination is getting the best of me.

I'm thinking about buying these for FFXV:

I played The Witcher 3 with some decent headphones that really added to the immersion but they broke unfortunate. Anyone have any experience with the HyperXCloud II headphones?
I've heard that they're pretty good for the price in sound quality(not the mic)?

you can see this on tgs trailer, the train scene is in a desert and snowy mountains are visible in the distance.

ruins are also visible, that rumor of Solheim been the precursor of Niflheim is plausible.

Now the only question is, is your car readily available and able to be taken out to drive on this land lol.

I still find this map absolutely intriguing. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ctl4xtbUIAAt2Ti.jpg
It only shows Lucis basically, but look at all that land to the north, east and south east. The area you are talking about seems to be to the southeast, yet no roads are shown. But i still firmly believe there has to be roads as we are able to fly the airship to any location. Would be a complete waste if we couldnt land in certain spots lol.

i don't think the car will be available on the train segment, but we did see the party invading niflheim with the regalia... tbh it would be pretty weird if you could fly above the map and not be able to land so there might be some roads.

Oh my word....is that Tenebrae?

 

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

Oh my word....is that Tenebrae?

I am not quite sure. Some of the land masses in the backround do remind me of Tenebrae but I can't be certain. Whatever it is it's fucking magnificent. Can't wait to visit this place.

I don't see why any of these places wouldn't be in the game so I wouldn't worry. These places look so beautiful and have a more otherworldly look and feel compared to some of the Lucian areas which brings to mind Tabata's comments about how the game gets more and more fantastical the further you progress into the game. I am so stoked about exploring this stunningly beautiful world. The art directors deserve the god damn Nobel prize for best fucking artwork of all time after this game is released.

 

[Paperchampion23]

Okay with this, it makes me believe that Terraverde is the Niflheim/Tenebrae/Solheim equivalent of Lucis and Accordo to Insomnia and Altissia respectively. Theres just so much variety in one space just like Lucis is with Leide, Duscae and Cleigne.

I absolutely cannot wait to see what this game really has in store.

I just showed "Omen" to my friend who is really far from Final Fantasy, even from gaming itself, he barely plays any games. He was genuinly amazed by it, and want to know full story, asked for my ps4 when i finish the game

I actually think this my be the area within Accordo given that the word Terraverde has an Italian/Latin origin it fits that area just like how Altissia is inspired by Venice. It means green earth/land which doesn't really fit with Niflheim.

 

[Tornak]

Yeah, Terraverde makes you think of Accordo.

BTW, do you think that Insomnia pic is happening in the game? It looks like some sort of resistance against Niflheim. That dude is suited, but doesn't really strike me as Regis or Noctis.

Similar thing here. Most of my friends (except for maybe a few) aren't really interested in games (not beyond FIFA, NBA 2k and the like, anyway), but they really liked what I showed them of the Omen trailer.

It's a great trailer to make people excited (especially Westerners), but also a good piece of media in its own. It tells an interesting story (in an interesting way) and really gets the nature of dreams (and premonitions, I guess).

Optimistic!

I think its just concept art of Insomnia invasion, what we've seen in Kingsglaive.

I agree with you about the Insomnia artwork. It doesn't look like it was from the Invasion in Kingsglaive. That character doesn't look like Regis or Noctis like you said so it may be in the game somewhere.

 

[Slaintimez]

Thats why its called "concept" art, its not supposed to be the same as we seen in the final product. We've seen those Lucian guards-troops in the movie actually, so its like them fighthing in the streets of Insomnia.
