Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

Well, that's an interesting observation. What that means is that they changed who Clarus was then, because the guy I made the comparo to obviously was Glads dad originally. He even still has the longer hair in the concept art for Regis and crew when they were younger. But yeah, the buzzcut guy has always been there. he was even there in the first trailer of the long court table (although he was totally bald then, wore sunglasses, and resembled rude from FFVII) Anyway, my point was that clothing eye color and heaviness of eyebrows can do a lot to make someone look entirely different, even though they are the same person (or CG model, in this case!)

That wasn't Clarus though.

The guy in the background is the one you're making a reference to, the guy in the foreground is Clarus. This is from the E3 2013 trailer by the way.

I always speculated that he was Regis' brother that would betray him by making a deal with Iadola Aldercapt to take the throne and have set up an alliance with Nifleheim but I think this character is not in the game anymore. He looks a lot like Regis possible being his twin brother and passed over when it was time to choose a king between him and Regis which would cause him to be resentful of his brother. I have no idea whats going on now though because that theory flew out the window.

Except it wasn't obvious at all, it's just what people speculated, and they were wrong. What would be the point of changing his character when it wasn't revealed...?

I never speculated anything about that character to be honest.

Interesting that you never thought about him considering Squares artists made a special art rendering of him. He seemed quite important if you ask me.

Blind speculation is pointless when there's nothing to go on. Just look where it got you.

Nice find!

So, btw, what happened to that yellow-circle-team-attack-qte-thing from Duscae 2.0?

At first I though it was removed - thanks god - since we didn't see it since Uncovered, but then I noticed this bit from a recent gameplay video:

It's hard to say since there's no HUD but I think this's it, and it still looks janky as hell with the rhino animation being stuck in place and party members appearing from thin air. tbh this's the only mechanic I don't really like in the game, and I was hoping maybe they god rid ot it.

It was just normal attacking, the reason the enemy was moving around was probably from team attacks and unfinished systems. That weird QTE thing is gone, it's replaced by links like back attacks and shit.

Okay, that really looks janky. Hope it's just unfinished. Looked better here:

Wow, the team have to be careful here, one wrong swing and Gladio and Noct will behead each other!

 

[AtSwimTwoBirds]

As for the rocket/lipstick thing, @AtSwimTwoBirds and I think it looks like a bullet or an artillery shell.

Damn straight, we do. And none of y'all better not say anything, otherwise.

Or we'll fight you......with karate.

The clip from the link is literally from the old may build though (from what i read). It screams incomplete.

EDIT: After watching it again that didn't even look like the updated Cross link, its the Team attack link finisher which was seen in majority of E3 combat footage, but with bugs around it.

And aren't cross links triggered when an enemy is toppled like from Duscae 2.0? Seems to be the same case with above gif.

 

[DrBretto]

I feel like you quoted the wrong part of that post, lol. I'm confused.

Edit: @birds

 

[AtSwimTwoBirds]

I'm confused.

This is the news thread, Bretto - tell us something we don't know!!!! #getrekt BOOOMMM!!!!!

Nah, me and my boy Leon just think that symbol is a bullet.....and we do karate

OK, Tales, lol


Edit: I reread it. It was me, I just wasn't reading it right, lol

No probs.

Now back to the Topic at hand, after that vicious 360 noscope, with traditional teabagging.

I always heard people say that the suave, vaguely evil looking dude was Dadacus, but I wasn't convinced. I never seen anyone put the guy in the foreground forward, as an option, until now. I think that's him.

I'm still subscribing to the idea of it being Regis' brother.

A joke 10 Years in the Making.

A joke 10 Years in the Making.

Now I can't help but picture Bionicle in some bunker somewhere, with piles of calendars with x's on the days on the floor.

It's been 9 years and three months since this golden nugget of a joke was bestowed upon me by the heavens themselves, and, at last my time has come. LOOK AT ME NOW, DAD!!
