Final Fantasy XV TGS 2014 Trailer | Lord Nomura giveth us His only Son so we may live

Thank god that classic Prelude theme is in there. The atrocity that was FF13 failed to ever use it.
Still really liked XIII's prelude tho! Shame they only used it for the first game but oh well. I LOVE the new arrangement for The Prelude in this XV trailer though. Giving me all kinds of feels.
 
I really like the look of this! Trailer looks amazing! I'm glad the open environments are still there too...but remember guys, although the trailer may seem lighthearted and fun, there's still a huge ass war between Stella's country(Tenebrae) and Noctis's(i forgot the name), that means they are still gonna be on opposite sides. This is just one part of the game they go to see her, probably before the actual fighting starts.
 
We never knew about the road trip access till now.

Everytime a new FFXV trailer has been shown, something either feels completely different or something changed. I wouldn't take an old interview to heart when it comes to what FFXV is now.

Nomura said it felt like a road trip movie back in 2008 or something.
 
I miss the adventure. Massive plots with amazing places to visit. This trailer looks so generic. Cant believe people are hyped just because it looks pretty. Its like ffxiii or more recently killzone, infamous ss, and destiny all over again. Hey we are driving on the road. Oh look we are on a grassy field killing some monsters. Oh hey we are back on the road. Now we are in the woods. Back on the road again. Lets explore this cave. But hey it looks pretty so this is obviously goty material. Ugh. Nothing about this trailer says big epic adventure. It looks boring.

Going on a road trip with your bros is its own kind of adventure. One that can easily lead into any number of scenarios when shit gets real. I think the premise is awesome and really refreshing.
 
Disagree, this seems like it may have an actual fun and loving party. I don't dislike XIII, but the party never felt really like "family" like X or IX's party.

I'm just not seeing anything of the sort just yet. XIII definitely had a "family" aspect to it IMO. It wasn't quite as charming, but I thought it was there. This trailer was nothing but dudes in a car spouting summer blockbuster lines.
 
If you ask me, the core of Final Fantasy's design has been exactly that mishmash you are describing, at least since VII.

VII had motorcycles, modern corporations and cities, german villages, chinese pagodas, CRT TVs and genetic engineering.

VIII had blogs and discmans and hockey teams in the same world as dinosaurs, old European cities and futuristic sci-fi ones.

Having monsters and cadallacs next to one another is so FF it hurts.

yep just that gfx so much better now and you can see the enemies on screen .
 
I got lazy and started to not care about editing. (I accidentally made it in reverse too so bleh)

Seems pretty good indeed! Sadly I dont feel the same magic as at the time when I watched the 2006 trailer anymore (maybe its the trailer itself, maybe its my age).

But I will be buying this! My hype has grown again! Hope that they deliver this time!

Sounds like a stupid American comedy movie that they rush to release during the fall season of every year.

*pukes*
 
You know, I'd just be happy if the story makes sense.

No weird named groups fighting other weird named groups trying to get the weird named object etc etc etc see FF13.
 
How the hell is this a realistic fantasy game?

Well, it's been discussed here. The first trailers specially gave us a vision of reality: the city, the highways, some of the technology, even the lightning, it was pretty "mundane". And then the fantasy elements are brought by FF lore, but even though there's some advanced technology, it looks more grounded than say, for example, the FF13 setting.

I don't know how can it be described better than that, tbh. But even the game is marketed as a "fantasy based on reality"...
 
guys, the fucking feels! the fucking feels! the end of the trailer felt like a fucking hug from nomura himself...ALMOST THERE!
