Hell, it's not even like this would even be the first Final Fantasy where we've seen a car on the overworld.
I'm fairly confident that it is a new arrangement.

I think only a couple shots were CGI. That shot of Luna was definitely realtime though.
That is one of my problems. It just feels like it doesnt all tie together.

As a dude who doesn't care about FF that looks pretty damn impressive.
I think it's more to do with them not showing variety of attacks/spells and enemies more than anything, just a bad cut they decided to show for whatever reason, I guess it's more like they want to focus on the exploration and the scale than combat, while the last trailer shows a bit more on action/scripted sequence and the teleporting.
We'll probably need to see actual gameplay demonstrations or longer non story related videos to see how it all comes together. This video shows just AIs stumbling around and doing nothing but a few slow slashes lol.
Holy shit, this is amazing
At least use the higher quality gif solidsnakex made for you guys :/
You think I can go through all these posts properly while trembling like a maniac?! D:

You know what I miss most about Final Fantasy? The FANTASY. It's a sci-fi series now.
And I get it's been that way since like 7 (6 more steampunk), I just miss when it was swords and sorcery instead of guns and cars. 9 brought it back though
And guys in plate mail with assault rifles, really?
Guess I'll just going to go play FF4 and relive the glory days.
I don't know, I've been pretty burned on FF since 12 and that was due to game play. 13, well we know whats wrong with that.
I hope I'm wrong and 15 is awesome but Square seems incapable of making good choices anymore.

Wait, did they change Stella's name to Luna? I thought they might be referring to the other girl in the E3 trailer. Although it would make sense they were talking about "Stella" since it showed her.

FFXV temporarily replaces Bloodborne as current hype leader!
GTA-style and attitude set piece cutscenes for traveling? Interesting. Of note-- The license plate is from "insomnia" ... that's either oldschool "Loveless" name placement or something more interesting. Also, Gran Turismo staff pulled to work on FFXV confirmed.

I think it's a good representation of the world. I think it's supposed to be a "classic FF world" during a "modern age". It's like, what if you took FFV's world and fast-forward hundreds of years where Tycoon, Karnak, Walse and such became actual modern cities, yet the outskirts in the world is still roaming with fantastical creatures(LandCrawlers, Adamantoises, Garulas an such). This is probably one of the BEST representations of THAT type of world. And hell, if we are lead to believe what they said is true, only a portion of the world is modernized. Other parts are stuck in a technically advanced "medieval" state(I guess like many old school FFs).
Personally, from the look of the world, the vistas, the forests and plains, and the dark yet massive caverns, it LOOKS like how I'd imagine a FF world to look like(in size).
I'm glad for that! Hope this marks a standard for future FFs. No looking back towards the corridor paths of the past. The future is MASSIVE!
FFVII has advanced technology and out of place monsters just like this game.

Someone didn't see the gameplay video from last gen. They were great, but this is another level of awesome. Still quite a long time to polish.

Alright, time for me to temper these expectations from that sweet trailer.
But I want to see more. That's a good sign, right?

It's not about thinking outside the box, it's about presenting a universe that feels cohesive and makes logical sense.
In past Final Fantasy games, vehicles and environments were just as over the top and fantastical as the monsters that resided in the area. There was a logical consistency to everything. Of course I could accept a flying magical airship because everything else in the universe was grounded in that same sort of logic.
The mishmash of real world technology and environments combined with the absolutely ludicrous monster design doesn't "work" for me. It's a very jarring juxtaposition that seems incredibly random.
If the monsters were treated with the same sort of grounded sense of reality as the world itself (something that would feel completely fresh and new to the Final Fantasy series, I could see myself buying into the universe more.
You are free to like what you saw, I'm just explaining why I personally don't like it.
XV really has it's own identity now (road-tripping backstreet boys but that's ok because it's amazing).
Last trailer there were comparisons floating around to VII, or VIII, or whichever FF you desperately wanted to see in it, but this trailer gives it a vibe that stands on it's own and that makes me really excited to see more of it.

Yeah, I think the fights in this trailer are more of the "random encounter" variety.

I think this is just pre-rendered BS. It looks great but how the hell do you play that?

uhhh..what does this even mean? just because they're blending fantasy and reality doesn't mean it doesn't flow. it's just that you're not accustomed to it since so few have done it and you rarely see it.
their vision is a modern society in a fantasy world. i guess we have been trained and brainwashed to connect fantasy with medieval.
i like this setup and i want to know how they'll handle it.

That music was incredible. First time I've been wowed by any of the trailer music for this game, mostly.
I'm expecting linear styled progression in semi open hubs.
Car is replaced with private jet or airship 3/4 through the game, revisit past areas.
From what I've heard of the game, the story was really boring and the characters unlikable. It seems people mostly liked the graphics (which look great!) and the battle system.
Still haven't played it yet though.

don't they supposedly come from a kingdom that's literally more advanced than the outside world because of the crystals? or something to that extent
