Insomnia

Insomnia is the capital of Lucis in Final Fantasy XV. It is where the kingdom's seat of power is situated and presumably where the kingdom's Crystal is kept. Insomnia is a modern metropolis stacked with sky scrapers.

With regards to Final Fantasy XV, the artists had to deal with physically based rendering, in addition to work on setting the boundaries of reality. Insomnia is based on the real world location of. The Imperial Palace was modeled after the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building located in Shinjuku. Because it is a palace, the artists added in traffic circles for cars near the entrance, and added a red carpet for ceremonies.

Because of the realistic world, the artists started collaborating with the CG team to find the right lighting. Yusuke Naora even painted over real pictures of Tokyo to get this feeling.
