Any screenshots of the superbosses or cameos in the game? previous FF usually showed scans in the past for reveal (4,5,7,8,9,10,12) unless they want you to be surprised or something.


They almost completely held all regarding this under wraps. The only "super boss" battles we know of so far are the astrals/summons.

I think Prompto is generally uncomfortable in the wilderness. He is always fidgeting around, easily startled by anything and complaining about bugs and having stones in his boots or wishing for a real bed to sleep in. They imo absolutely nailed the characters behaving all completely differently and believable. You just have to watch or listen to them a little.
Gladio is 1,98m tall and Prompto is the smallest of the group with just 1,73m.

Just the fact that Gladio is almost 1 ft taller than me is tragic honestly. And yeah lol Prompto's reaction to camping is the same as mine so I don't blame him for being annoyed looking. XD

Oooh, this is cool! O: It probably fits more into the graphics and art style thread...but it's mostly me having monologues there, so I rather post it in here. Character models and portraits have been revised one final time and the art director, Yusuke Naora, tells us a bit as to why. Unfortunately IGN didn't let me just copy paste the text so I had to repeat it in condensed form:

Noctis:

Yusuke Naora:
- more birthmarks and blotches for skin to appear more realistic.
- better light penetration of skin
- shadow casting of his bangs on the face improved
- the hairstyles remain a bit unrealistic, are treated as symbols of the characters

Luna:

Yusuke Naora:
- exudes indomitable will
- reworked her eye and lip makeup
- they worked with a professional hair and makeup stylist.
- intricate hairstyle has to look like she needed a handmaiden for it, displaying her status.
- slightly disheveled hair to not appear too formal and prim.

Gladiolus:

Yusuke Naora:
- His facial structure was edited, his eyes narrowed
- powerful physique to look like Noctis' shield and protector.
- martial artists' bodies were studied to sculpt his chest and abdominal muscles
- given a slightly sultry gaze to seem more intellectual and not like a simple muscleman

Ignis:

Yusuke Naora:
- few changes to his design
- altered physique, more toned and conditioned looking to show he proteted Noctis from a young age
- more musculature around neck
- important that his intelellectual image is retained, looks slender in suit

Regis:

Yusuke Naora:
- older appearance to show strain of magical power
- closely matches actor in Kingsglaive movie:

Phew this is taking time... >__>' The rest is here:

Great! I like the way they look! They're probably the most realistic skin wise FF characters since they have imperfections. Regis looks really good as well.

Yeah I agree Luna looks great, I love her hair so much! I think Noctis looks the best imo, imperfection and shaggy hair are two of my favorite things character design wise. I might actually make it my avatar....

For those interested, here's some very interesting news regarding Dissidia Arcade:

On August 27, a tournament major for Dissidia is taking place at the Maihama Ampitheater in Chiba. However, this won't be just another ordinary tournament. This one includes exciting information that is teased for announcement after finals:

1) A MAJOR content update titled "Battle of the Gods", which will feature both Chaos and Cosmos. Whether they will be playable characters, or if the game itself is a whole new iteration like Tekken 7 FR remains to be known.

2) An all-new character reveal that hasn't been in previous titles (obviously not Noctis, since he's planned to be reserved for after FFXV's release, slated for October).

3) An all-new stage with a flat environment. (Could most likely be Order's Sanctuary).

Alas, no console release date has been made as of yet. But who knows? It might be a surprise announcement.

NOTE: All information has been confirmed at Dissidia Forums.

I'm still waiting on them revealing Serah to be a playable character! Hopefully she's added before the release of the game, also Yuna, Paine , Fran etc. I want expect them all though.

The way Tyaren talks about xiii characters youd think they ruined his life or something.

Serah is one of the more actually likeable characters also lol, personally, im holding out for Caius

I know exactly why you guys want her (apart from Jade's attraction to dead as a doornail characters ;))...she's visually cute.
Serah isn't even a playable character of a mainline title but an unpopular sequel. I can see Caius making sense for a villain representing the XIII franchise (for a lack of any other good villain in the entire triology, which says enough about it)...but another good guy and then out of them all bland and forgettable Serah...?

If they really have to shoehorn more FFXIII characters in there, I hope and I think it is at least Caius.

The way Tyaren talks about xiii characters youd think they ruined his life or something.

Lol, Serah just already ruined her sister's and her lover's life (and all their reincarnations) and that of millions of others. XD

If I were a commoner minding his own business in Cocoon... yeah, I could see how that would be the case.

But seriously though, they're not so bad.

She fulfilled her Focus and filled out where men typically focus. How could she NOT be likable? =P

I'm sure good ol' Garland III will make an appearance at some point. Not many are a fan of Dysley anyway.

@XZero264 I heard Kain is giving some of the characters issues dealing with him, no surprise.

Though doesn't this indicate that Caius may not be a possibility? he has the exact same VA with the exact same tone, just more the antagonist path than anything. Either way, more interested in seeing what they include rather than mindlessly dropping in FFXIII characters for literally no reason. Don't truly care if he was included or not, however he would actually fit for the game though now that I think about it.
