Hanging out at camp
Because it’s always cute even if I’ve seen it 1000x before.

Patience rewarded (no-glasses mod)
Whoohoo, I can have no-glasses on Ignis again! And works with all hairstyles, not just hair-down Ignis-DLC.
Not that I mind the glasses. I love the glasses actually, and some chr. animations make little sense with them gone. But especially with the hair-down hair, he just looks great without them. 😛
Since Iggy didn’t need them anymore, I gave his eyewear to Noct. Hardehar.
A random shot.

It’s just so much easier to take shots of the bro’s vs. overall combat. 😛

Giant toads timed hunt
…I’m about to give up on getting a nice shot of Ignis swap combat (especially Total Clarity’s). Just too much luck/patience involved.
Slightly younger, older Noct
…can you tell? Probably not.
I keep trying to use Avatara to make the older version of Noct. look a bit closer to his younger self. Remove the beard and the grey is the first step. Can’t do anything about the older skin texture. But they change his face so drastically in some other areas and the character editor is too limited to have a large impact on it. Some of the other changes they seem to have done include:
—nose is different shaped, especially the nostrils and tip shape (larger)
—eyes are more tapered on outer and inner corners and eyelashes are less thick which gives the older eyes a more faded and less of an “eyeliner” look.
—the eyebrows of older Noct. are bushier and don’t taper to thin lines at the outer edges. Guess there were no tweezers inside the Crystal.
—the jawline and maybe cheek area is a bit different and chin isn’t as tapered/is slightly more square
—I think older Noct’s lips are a bit wider (longer) although it’s not too obvious.
This all results in an “older” face that looks more angular and a bit longer/larger I think. So I tweak the editor slider numbers constantly. With all that effort, certain expressions and conditions can look a bit more like the younger version, but mostly it’s the no beard, tweaking nose shape and changing the eyelashes and eyebrows that make it feel different at all. I often feel like the editor sliders hardly do anything, really. Too bad Avatara/Comrades didn’t have the younger hair, it’d be easier to compare.
I don’t really care 98% of the time. But it still occasionally irks my sense of “world consistency” when they expect you to believe that a 20ish year old man would have an entirely different facial structure 10 years later. It’s not like “older Noctis” lost 50+ pounds and/or is 70 years old with an enlarged nose from alcoholism. Then again, maybe the only available drink in the Crystal was celebratory wine. Who knows. 😛
Fishing!
Luring and reeling it in.
Noctis uses his magic powers to pull his catch through the pier. Less danger of falling in I guess.
Noct: “Hey guys, come congratulate me already, will ya?”
Ignis: “Hurry up Prompto, we have to go admire his Majesty’s fish.”
You know I had to say it.
