Square Enix Presents isn't an event. It's S-E's irregular ad-hoc Youtube streams. Kinda like Nintendo Directs, but each program is usually for a single game. They're promoting Bravely Second and Final Fantasy Explorers this way too. So it's not a specific event to look forward to, they just mean that in future they'll probably have updates using this platform. There's currently nothing announced on the Square Enix Presents blog: http://www.jp.square-enix.com/sep_japan/

I see, I know what they are, I just wasn't sure if they were regular or not.

Ppl liking PromptNO
what in the world

 

[Plywood]

Prompto looks like a shorter haired Cloud now. Damnit SE.

I can see an argument for the hair, but Prompto's face seems to look different every second.

Kind of like ambiguous Lara Croft before she got her next-gen port makeover.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Guys remember how I think it's Prompto talking about that noctis has a pending date bam!

Plausible theory right Stella=Luna got a white dress

this scene is CG now.

 

[nOoblet16]

this scene is CG now.

Why do they even need CG for this game?
The scene where Luna shows up in the trailer already looks CG but is real time.

 

[Ishida]

I was bored so I made this. Let's see who gets it.

well they said that back in 2011

it went real-time x 2 > then CG

so it had been recreated at least 3 times lol.

maybe they went back back to real-time and now 4!

 

[silva1991]

Awesome trailer. Easily my most anticipated game of 2018.

Soooo good. <3 Shimomura <3

Based Shimomura.......this OST is going to be outstanding.

 

[Prompto]

Quite a stepup.

"Steer us clear of that thing!"
"That's its face!"

 

[Asd202]

Quite a stepup.

LOL.

 

[Lnds500]

Tabata said there would be "something more amazing." According to him, "This is something that Final Fantasy fans will really like." Wonder what that will be...

Lightning

 

[hateradio]

Quite a stepup.

The darkest timeline.

 

[BocoDragon]

Quite a stepup.

"Steer us clear of that thing!"
"That's its face!"

I really am #dead.

 

[Falk]

Quite a stepup.

let sleeping dogs lie

 

[Raitningz]

"Steer us clear of that thing!"

Lol

"If you kids can't keep your hands to yourself, I'm gonna turn this car around and there will be no FFXV for anybody!"

 

[Meowster]

I never noticed but Prompto's face has improved so much from the past trailer. It doesn't look anywhere near as generic.

 

[Fuz]

Seems cool. Character design is terribad, though.

Is that a one-winged angel on the logo?

Quite a stepup.

LoL.

 

[Higgins113]

Quite a stepup.

Who's the bald guy at the bottom right of the picture? Do we know his name yet?

 

[Fuz]

Just found these on tumblr, are they from a magazine? If not, it should help people get to know the cast, lol.

Oh god. Their names are absolutely ridiculous for someone who knows latin.

 

[benzy]

Who's the bald guy at the bottom right of the picture? Do we know his name yet?

I think you're looking at a shoulder...

 

[Falk]

Who's the bald guy at the bottom right of the picture? Do we know his name yet?

Can't unsee.

 

[Majmun]

I wonder when male FF characters will get normal haircuts for once.

I'm not know with JPN culture, but do all males look like that there? Or just celebrities?

 

[sappyday]

Besides Noctis and Prompto the rest have normalish haircuts (albeit not as realistic as real life).

 

[HeelPower]

Quite a stepup.

LOL

 

[Zoe]

New promto?

while i would not use the term " white Boy"

he does look a bit more Caucasian than before.

Despite his hair, his face looked the most Asian to me before. Sad that's been changed

 

[Xenex]

Quite a stepup.

LOL

Who's the bald guy at the bottom right of the picture? Do we know his name yet?

DOUBLE LOL

 

[raven777]

oh yea one thing I noticed

this trademark sword for Noctis doesn't appear in the trailer.

he only uses this one (among other weapons)

maybe because it's early part of the story and He doesn't have it, but gets it from his dad later.(the dad uses that same sword in 2011 trailer)

 

[hohoXD123]

Who's the bald guy at the bottom right of the picture? Do we know his name yet?

Cannot unsee.

 

[Auctopus]

Oh god. Their names are absolutely ridiculous for someone who knows latin.

Their names are absolutely ridiculous to someone who doesn't.

 

[Betty]

Oh god that's amazing, this thread went platinum.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Their names are absolutely ridiculous to someone who doesn't.

I think they meant Latin alphabet.

 

[Min0]

This game does indeed look amazing. I really hope square-enix doesn't fuck it up somehow.

 

[nOoblet16]

Because it will never look as amazing as this

And it also means there will probably be no more than 4-5 of them in the entire game given the amount of space they take and the amount of space current gen games require and not to mention additional work required to do lip syncing and not to mention if they want to change anything they can't at the last minute. So you'd rather just do them real time with higher quality assets (and lighting if necessary) than gameplay assets (like RE games did last gen) and make it look good.

I'd say Cor looks pretty regular. (5th party member)

 

[Stone Ocean]

It's Kamiya

 

[Taruranto]

I can see an argument for the hair, but Prompto's face seems to look different every second.

Kind of like ambiguous Lara Croft before she got her next-gen port makeover.

8 years spent looking for hair-gel.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

It's Kamiya

Based Kamiya, no wonder Square Enix is looking good now.

 

[RocBase]

some true thuggin skinnypimp got it

YOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Not gonna lie, I really liked bleached hair, crackhead Prompto. Made him seem like much more of the "bad influence" that they keep saying he is.

yeah count me in too as a fan of cracky prompto. although his new design isn't bad, the only thing i wish was for the spike to be gone as it reminds me too much of zell (he's exhibiting enough similarities as it is lol)

and my sides, my damn sides @ all the recent lols in this thread hahaha

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Yes I noticed that too. The graphics looked definatemy improved: less cuby edges, better hair, more efefcts like reaction to rain. The old trailer graphics still looked like a transition between PS3 and PS4 game (sometimes it even had PS2-like graphics). The new trailer and gameplay really looked next-gen

(current-gen lol)

Nice, starts at 23:00 mark but the video also has Type 0 HD and Agito gameplay in good quality.

 

[afternoon delight]

I don't know who Final Fantasy games are for any more, but watching this, it sure isn't me.

It seems to be a hit with people in this thread, but yeah, I know what you mean.
