The Secrets Behind Final Fantasy XV's Animation

[@sungahymn]

I must say, I chuckled a lot when I saw Prompto sprawled out on the asphalt. I can see a lot of care put into the personalities, like the guy was saying.

[@Vilis_Farthuk]

It's cool to hear that they put that much effort into each of the 4 main characters. You'd think "Oh, well they focus a lot on Noctis." but I'm liking that it sounds like all the characters will be very fleshed out... Or, in the case of Gladio, very chest out.

[@suprqt]

Unfortunately he doesn't have a completely shirtless outfit. :/

[@137cloud]

Lol the guy on the background probably is enjoying it on 60fps.

[@aera3262]

haha i know right

[@sergiostomer7973]

the blurred out animations in the back are epic.

[@MOOEMAN]

one of the best channels on youtube imo

[@benjotsumal6146]

I love you guys Game Informer you guys are severely underrated. Also is the translator laughing at the b roll footage, something he said, or are you guys making her laugh behind the scenes?

[@benimo6]

Hmmm.. Good question.. *hits blunt*

[@MrWinnieP]

That last comment is very ambitious and would be quite an achievement. Here's hoping

[@aera3262]

man Im getting hype for this game!

[@tonertonki]

I'm looking at the background tvs haha having a glimpse of the game. :O)

[@Dukefazon]

Why didn't they make a Making of Final Fantasy XV blu ray?... With all the earlier concepts, trailers and a LOT of interviews. I'd take that.

[@Vilis_Farthuk]

+Dukefazon I'm sure you'd take it, but would you pay extra for it?

[@Dukefazon]

Sure I would.

[@LewisRacing90]

wow! love this stuff.

[@MalonzeProductionsGaming]

I have a question about the driving... Some footage (in general, not just this video), they are driving on the left, some they are driving on the right. Are they changing road rules for western audience? or are the roads really weird in the game? :P

[@mihamiakino1]

episode duscae's vehicles r on the left, yes, but the final game will have vehicles on right even for the japanese version

[@satellite964]

BD2 need a studio culture change, look at devs like naughty dog and Rockstar. There is a reason this took 10 years to come out.

[@mostafamohammed5705]

03:20 and when ur looking at the open world of the game and say wtf just happened to the graphics

[@chronospheredaus01]

+Game Informer more coverage on final fantasy XV please! The link you gave on the video is not accessible for me, please do something about it..... #Hype4FinalFantasyXV

[@leongmun6677]

More ff15 news damn sep cannot come close enough

[@vexify3357]

+Leong Mun i feel you on that lmao. I need way more news on FFXV. Anything at all, just as long as I havent seen it before. If they can fix the framerate issues, then this is looking to be a promising game. Easily Game of the Year.

[@mozmger]

yeah man I feel Sep its far far far away😧

[@leongmun6677]

+SnipezYaHeadOff yeah i glad the graphic is not plantinium demo graphic man wonder how huge the game gonna be

[@leongmun6677]

+Salem Bakhshwen lol yeah i glad theres other game accompany me till sep man if persona 5 and ff15 out i gonna have heart attack

[@fatrown3]

looks great :) hope they find a way to speed up/stremline development though. . maybe shave off a few years :p

[@Growmetheus]

Sorry but those team building exercises made it too hard for friends to tell eachother to animate a human being like a human being in the game.

[@TheRetroPerspective]

Nose flicking, such an original idea, we've never had that in Japanese media before! Tabata and his team are a bunch of geniuses. Who else but Tabata could come up with such a creative original name for his independent studio as 'JP Games.' Floored by the genius.

[@MaikeruX88]

this guy looks like the guy working for EPIC. the creator of Paragon.

[@npthedarkside27]

Shit, Im too early for good quality. Ill be back later I guess...

[@masterriku8902]

I wonder is this also the kingdom hearts team?

[@Mijdax]

+Master Riku Was wondering the same. To be specific. KH2.

[@MrYuntu]

+Master Riku Partly.

[@vspectra]

+Master Riku It isn't. It's Tabata's business division 2 team, which only works on FFXV. People came from different teams previously though, so some KH people came on board.

[@KRATOS97]

it isn't. The KH team is the Osaka team

[@LifesLover]

+KRATOS Well, the Osaka team is the one who are handling KH3 and they are responsible for some of the handheld games, but the Osaka team are not responsible for KH1 and 2. I believe the team working on FFXV are mostly the members from KH1 and 2, because FFXV was originally directed by Nomura, when it was still Versus XIII. It's also why the Osaka team are working on KH3, because the original team, for the most part, are busy with FFXV.

[@werewasyo]

where's lightning?

[@AIdoRibs]

Tabata-san

[@BusyAngel9999]

Lol sasuke looks like filthy frank

[@benji7662]

Why would you use a woman to dub a guy?

[@idek5]

,,who cares

[@Vilis_Farthuk]

+Benji Ward Ask the dub director of Naruto.

[@Donmoonu9000]

I thought it was a petite lesbian with a short hair cut

[@benji7662]

Donmoonu9000 Lmao

[@benji7662]

goodgalbadgal Me, apparently..

[@RobertOortwijn]

Why do they wear maskes?

[@joshuaDstarks]

Pollution, germs, and cooties.

[@tauzu]

+Robert Oortwijn Its for not coughing on people or spreading germs while sick

[@littlecurrybread]

+Robert Oortwijn Actually sometimes it's for sick, but my girlfriend's Japanese, and she says that people wear it if they're embarrassed by a camera or don't want to be seen by people. For girls they wear it if they're wearing no makeup and going outside.

[@olgawolga2901]

+Robert Oortwijn In the beginning they never wore masks, everyone got sick, and thats why FF15 took so long to come out.

[@Growmetheus]

“About 80% is mocap.” And NONE of the 20% went into cleaning up those animations.

[@kenanwallace2124]

That's an interesting take on the final game mocap animation, what led you to form that opinion? Was there anything in particular that made you feel it was unpolished?

[@CrescentoAngelo]

A lot of homoerotic shit in this game. Will still play it though.

[@anveshmydg8229]

Why are they wearing masks inside the studio?

[@nzrock1]

+anvesh mydg Those are Cold/Flu Masks, can also be worn if your a hygiene freak :P

[@aaroozz]

+nzrock1 yeah, i was thinking maybe he didn't want to get sick... then thought maybe he didn't want to get others sick.

[@nomadenbug]

I do that when I got flu, working when you have flu is suck, so I'm feel bad if my workmate got flu from me.

[@mihamiakino1]

in japan it's normal to wear masks when ur sick or doesn't want to get to

[@anveshmydg8229]

mihamiakino1 that many sick people in one studio?
