Letter From the Producer Live Part LXXIX - 24 September 2023 - Summary and Discussion

[Theodric]

For me my biggest issue is it really lost the ancient greece feel of the pantheon with this design. It's just so random and off. They could have kept his outfit from the card and added things to make it look watery/flowy which I think is what they were going for with the extra cloth The shirt part is the biggest offender.

Yeah, I'm rather fond of anything Greek inspired and it's something I'd like to see more of within the game itself.

What's Oschon look like? I'm not watching them kill FFIV's legacy in that trailer.

Thank you. Surprised he even gets to show skin at all. Must have been too late to censor him.

They are technically censoring him as you don't get to see much of his face in the trailer. We tend to only see his back or part of his face is being blocked. This is the 1st time I've noticed he looks like most Greek depictions of Hermes. Course we only see 3 out of 4 fights so the 4th is a mystery.

They're probably doing that because they've dropped a lot of hints that it's Deryk. Not that he couldn't change his face to come along with us, but I'd do the same if I knew there was fan speculation about that going around.

Toward the Thaliak commentary, I actually think he looks hella sexy in that. But I tend to like Thavnair clothing. I do like that he has a hint of that in the skirt and the pants. Almost like even though they worship the Magus Sisters, he's looking at groups like the mad scientist alchemists and going "Those are my people".

Heck they even obscure Oschon's face in one of the all of the twelve sceens. He's on the far right when they give a close up of Menphina's face. So yeah they're trying really hard to not make it obvious.

They want it to be a big reveal. Of course, it is still possible they've massively trolled us and all the hints they've dropped have been a red herring.

It'd be one heck of a troll. Remember they tried somewhat poorly to hide Nymeia last time and yet sharp eyed people noticed the telltale signs that she was in some of those sceens. While also trying to hide parts of Nophica.
