I know I'm late to the topic of Nanaki's renders, but here's a thought I had: his claws look really made for digging and foraging rather than hunting, which makes sense considering his species is omnivorous

Small observation regarding the opening:
I like that they reused the idea of the bird flying over Midgar from the E3 2015 trailer, but I like even more that it seems to be an aging bird, if that's what you take its white feathers to mean. Nice bit of symbolism representing older fans "returning".

I guess I should have known to expect it, but the sheer amount of anime grunts is already irritating. After the train pulls in, before anyone says a word, it's literally 30 seconds of various grunts/sighs.

Uh so..... the Remake accounts just posted the FULL INTRO MOVIE (in 1080p not 4K). It's 5min 17sec, longer than the demo intro. If you wish to postpone viewing this until you've got the game in your hands/downloaded from PSN...... you should look away from their social media accounts now. I'm surprised they've posted it with 2 months left to go.....

No difference between the two that I can see (stupid ESRB rating mark aside) but... since we usually post both.
For once I'm happy that I failed to observe my yearly "no internet and no social media day".

Lol yup, complaints have been doing the rounds since the leaks ... ?I guess I should have known to expect it, but the sheer amount of anime grunts is already irritating. After the train pulls in, before anyone says a word, it's literally 30 seconds of various grunts/sighs.

Man you'd think if they're gonna post the entire intro two months out they could release the demo

Me, being a degenerate 20-something, watch so much anime that I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. Japan what have you done to me!?

It's only going to get better from here.

SAME. I was debating on whether or not the bird in this opening was the same bird as in the E3 2015 trailer, just wrecked by pollution and possible starvation. Poor birdy doesn't look so good. Pair the bird with the dying flower and the obviously starving dog pawing through the garbage and wow, gut punch.

Whoa! Thanks! Never thought to look at the Japanese website. When did they add these?

Alright, I was an idiot lol. Should've checked over there before making an issue out of it, I guess. I just didn't think they'd have stuff there that wasn't on the US site or on the official twitter.
Now that we do have those renders, it seems to me that the possibility of the trio being guest combatants just got a bit higher since they now have profile pictures to go on the menu screen.

Wouldn’t be so sure about that - plenty of renders there of known-NPCs, but you never know!

Except that we did see Wedge in the combat UI in the latest screen of the bike minigame, and I doubt they'd only that for one single gameplay segment. So hopefully they'll serve in a similar role gameplay-wise as XIII's Team NORA while they're still around and able to do it.

It would be a little strange if the AI guest part member functionality was just reserved for Nanaki though, wouldn't it? Then again, Roche in the latest trailer goes out of his way to ask cloud for a 1 on 1, conveniently leaving out Biggs and Wedge. They are AI controlled in the bike sequences though.

Pretty surprised by the extended opening, since that whole estuans interius section wasn't in the demo version.
Really dig them pulling "One-Winged Angel" apart and turning it into a leitmotif for once (and a suitably foreboding one, at that); it always kind of bugged me that it was just played in full in Crisis Core when Sephiroth fought without really being rearranged or abridged to better suit the context of the scenes and the rest of the soundtrack.
The new section also bookends nicely with the post-credits flashforward to 500 years in the future, which I now suspect will also be somewhat reworked and extended.

It's the Sector 5 Reactor, so no. It does feel a bit symbolic, though, as they show the growth and prosperity of Midgar give way to poverty and pollution. And at first glance you might think of it as an oasis in the wasteland, before realizing it's the very thing killing everything surrounding it.

The opening is incredible BUT...
Seriously. 100% this.
I'm just going to sit here in the corner and believe that a demo is coming on the 3rd March. It's the only explanation that I will accept. >__<

We determined you can turn off the maps/markers though, right? I know you included the questlog in general in here, but personally, logs I don't mind. FFXII would be benefited greatly by one for me, personally. Don't even need markers, but even just a list so I can remember something if I happen to put the game down for more than 24 hours.
