They did? I thought they had started working on this after Heavensward was released in 2015.They started full development around June 2019 if I'm not mistaken.

When I think "anime", it has less to do with the actual art and more to do with how characters act. If a male character fist bumps and says "Yeah, that's because I'M the HERO!", that shit's "anime". If a female character starts squeeking and cooing or starts to make cutesy gestures and dance moves, that shit's "anime". If a stoic character basically makes the "Pshaw"/"I'm too cool for school" head swish then walks away like they are too good for their idiot party members, that shit's "anime". If a female character sticks out her little tongue (not normal sized tongue, but tiny, abnormally little tongue) when she's annoyed with someone, that shit's "anime".lol what the hell are you all talking about?
VIII, X and XII are not anime especially in design. I think that term has lost all meaning when people just throw it on every single JRPG.
VII, IX and maybe XIII you could argue are anime. XV is not anime in design or setting but the writing and behaviour is.
Don't expect to play it any sooner than Spring 2022. That would put it in a fairly standard development time (especially if they're still using UE4). Anything sooner runs the risk of being light on content/rushed at launch.My biggest fear is how many years away are we going to be if this is announced...
Waiting for FFXV post-announcement was painful.
Pre-production since 2016, full production since last year. Meaning they had lots of time to think through story, concept, gameplay design. Thank god.They did? I thought they had started working on this after Heavensward was released in 2015.
Project AthiaI get it that some of y'all have Nomura fatigure but put some respect on his name, sheesh. Honestly, what I want the most is a Black woman lead protagonist. It's time. Way over due for this shit.
full development is different if I am not mistaken, someone correct me?They did? I thought they had started working on this after Heavensward was released in 2015.
Kagari said it's not anime, so i expect an excellent art direction with good looking characters.
Even with your examples(which I also said you could argue writing and behaviour for XV) that still doesn't apply to VIII, X and XII.When I think "anime", it has less to do with the actual art and more to do with how characters act.

The most "anime" thing these three would even have is a character sticking their tongue out which happens like...two times lol
Though I guess FFX does have some bobblehead syndrome when they move in FMVs.

I mean in the Final Fantasy series. Also, is she Black in that trailer? I couldn't tell and I couldn't find any character sketches. If that's confirmed then I'm excited AF

KH3 is a top tier action RPG. Hardly mediocre.I absolutely respect the man, he managed to release KH 3 and despite being a mediocre game it sold millions.
He knows how to sell his ideas that's for sure.
What? Just look at the characters' hair styles. Most of them are anime...lol what the hell are you all talking about?

I'm worried that putting a black woman in Project Athia is SE's way of "checking that box", and rolling full steam ahead for another mainline FF with zero melanin in the cast.
That's good either way. But dang, Final Fantasy has been so damn white and Japanese forever. Let's get some more PoC front and center.
Hopefully it's like Kingsglaive but in real time 3DI would like SE to move in the direction of more realistic faces next gen. Seeing RE's Claire, Leon, and Jill reimagined as actual people was fantastic. Then FFVIIR came out and we got to see more PS1 characters, but as the same dolls we've had for a long time now. I didn't mind FFVIIR's look but it felt less bold and less modern than what Capcom were doing.
If that's what is meant by non-anime then I'd be happy.

VIII and X do not have semi realistic anime look. Yes there is characters like Seymour with ridiculous hair but the actual main cast of X is japanese in appearance and its meant to look realistic.How are FFVIII,X and XII not anime when they all have the semi realistic anime look that all 3d FFs have
Ah yes these insane hairstyles of...short slicked back hair, ponytails and spiked hair. The anime is just screaming out at me.What? Just look at the characters' hair styles. Most of them are anime...
Aren't the cast of X supposed to be southasian and middleastern?VIII and X do not have semi realistic anime look. Yes there is characters like Seymour with ridiculous hair but the actual main cast of X is japanese in appearance and its meant to look realistic.
Just because the current FF direction makes things more mixed does not mean the games before did.

I like what Capcom's put out with their RE engine but the way alot of FF characters look would be weird in a photo-realistic artstyle.I would like SE to move in the direction of more realistic faces next gen. Seeing RE's Claire, Leon, and Jill reimagined as actual people was fantastic. Then FFVIIR came out and we got to see more PS1 characters, but as the same dolls we've had for a long time now.

Okay I LARGELY agree with this, but Kingsglaive Luna looked really bad IMO
Yeah my hype died lol30 minutes... I honestly do not think it's happening. Refuse to believe.
It's hard to actually pinpoint what ethnicity the cast is due to them white washing certain characters like Tidus but I would say Wakka and Tidus look japanese in CGI.Aren't the cast of X supposed to be southasian and middleastern?
Just look at these totally normal, everyday hairstyles. I see people like that in business meetings on a daily basis.VIII and X do not have semi realistic anime look.

Ahh great examples using remastered game character models that are clearly different from the artwork/cgi LMAOJust look at these totally normal, everyday hairstyles. I see people like that in business meetings on a daily basis.
Don't mind the tribal tattoo in his face.

It's not that silly. FF1 literally has ONE location that's futuristic and yet people think that disqualifies the game from being classified as medieval even though 99% of the game IS medieval.
Nah, Kingsglaive Luna looks fantastic. I really wish we had gotten closer to that in the game as far as the general features go (obviously the stuff that is only possible due to being a CG film would have to go on a game model).
See my edit.Ahh great examples using remastered game character models that are clearly different from the artwork/cgi LMAO
both these hairstyles exist in real life and even funnier you bring up the tattoo which a certain famous boxer is notorious for.
I also don't like Kingsglaive Luna but to be fair...she is actually ill lolI think Kingsglaive Luna looks like she's ill
I really don't like her eyes
And see mine. None of those hairstyles are anime. Just because certain styles got popularized later on with anime does not mean everything before it now is classified that way. You had to reach by pulling two remastered models where they are using a different art direction compared to the original to try and make an anime point.See my edit.
Trying to argue that Squall doesn't look like that in 99% of the media he's in is more than a little disingenuous.
Yes, those hairstyles do exist in real life. That doesn't mean they're not pretty anime.
