We’ve now completed the White Mage prologue cutscenes for the first half of the prologue. This includes the introductory cutscene as well as the one that plays after you’ve completed the first dungeon and guides the storyline toward the 2nd and final dungeon of the White Mage prologue.

Now that these cutscenes are complete, we’ve reached a major milestone in the White Mage prologue that allows us to start testing. We’re just starting to bug fix all of the interactable elements ...

We’ve now completed the interiors of all of the accessible buildings within Galice (the initial White Mage town). We qualify with “accessible” since there is an inaccessible Synthesis Shop during the prologue that hasn’t yet been completed. This means that we’re now ready to start the development of the White Mage Prologue Cutscenes.

In an effort to make each continent feel unique, we are creating new environmental art for the continent of Nysa (where the White Mage and Engineer prologues take place). In our previous games, we had a limited amount of environmental art which made it more difficult to make each area feel different. Although it requires significantly more effort, we think it will be worth it in the end.

So far, we’ve created a few tree variations for the White Mage prologue. ...
