Okay so Halloween is this weekend and Square Enix knows it so they are releasing a pic that on Final Fantasy XV twitter page that is perfect for the holiday of fright. The numb sword has a wicked looking sword being held by someone who is perfect a horror movie. Why was this pic released well it was released top show a new enemy. The back story goes a little something like this.
“With Halloween just one day away—the sinister look on this monster’s face sends chills down our spine. The design of the Numb Blade by Chihiro Hashi has a Japanese touch as this character is modeled after samurai. For instance, look at the tied knot of the waist string – this particular way of tying a knot called a “ronin (masterless samurai) knot” is a representation of his social status as a poor ronin. As kimono and swords are not imaginary but rather they are traditional elements of the Japanese culture, we took great pains to create assets that are true to traditional structures by researching specialized books and carefully observing real swords. What monsters will lurk in the shadows tonight?”
The article notes that the pic was taken the same place as the Chocobo riding trailer so their is some thought as to where this dangerous samurai might appear.
