Frey Holland’s portrayal by the actress Ella Balinska, and Square Enix’s description of Forspoken as a "narrative-driven adventure," may be holdovers from this early direction. Luminous Productions was initially founded to work on video games and other types of media, but a few months into its life it was refocused back to making games, reporting a 33 million dollar loss in the process. Evidently, Final Fantasy 15 coming out with much of its back portion excised did not sit well with some developers at Luminous, and they want to make up for that with Forspoken. Durante lo State of Play di giugno 2020, Sony, Square Enix e il neonato Luminous Production presentarono al mondo Project Athia, un nuovo action-rpg open-world avvolto nel mistero, il quale è tornato a far parlare di sé durante lo showcase primaverile della casa di Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts e Dragon Quest. Frey even uses abilities like a shield that wouldn’t be too out of place in the Final Fantasy 15 Brotherhood MMO expansion, showing a clear gameplay evolution between the two. Going off of the traversal shots, both games are open world action-RPGs with a focus on fighting photorealistic monsters in a setting that oscillates wildly between realism and fantasy. Looking at FF15 and Forspoken’s gameplay, it's clear to see that Luminous Productions has a longstanding vision it still wants to fulfill in terms of how its games unfold. This identical name to the earlier Agni trailer demonstrates that the developers likely consider Forspoken to be an evolution of what those tech demos were meant to portray.Īnd that portrayal is also present in Final Fantasy 15. When Sony uploaded the March 18th, 2021 Forspoken name reveal trailer, it accidentally included the line, “introducing WITCH, the new narrative-driven adventure set in a beautiful yet cruel world.” The other information in the trailer’s YouTube description was accurate to the game, so it appears that Forspoken not only went by Project Athia at one point, it was also internally known as WITCH. However, the most notable thing about this trailer isn’t its contents - it is its name. That technical work has not gone to waste, as Forspoken is planned for the powerful modern hardware of the recent PlayStation 5 for a good reason. Though, what it was really supposed to show was the Luminous Engine rendering tens of millions of polygons at 8K resolution, as well as Agni’s realistic individually-rendered hair and tears. Titled Witch Chapter 0, this showed Agni grieving amidst some ruins. About a year before Final Fantasy 15 came out, another tech demo featuring Agni was released.
