They probably won't say stupid crap like "My dream is but a fal'Cie's fancy now". There's no indication they will.

wait...they are still using the FF13 mythology for this?
Whaaat?!
Noooooooooooooooo. Oh my god, you just ruined my day.
It's not really that bad in Type-0 at least. None of the XV trailers have ever mentioned it I don't think either.

No one really knows anymore. It's been 9 years and over a year since the last trailer. Don't take it at face value.
One is just people with power, and the other is just the one who determines its recipient. It's not so bad if you say it like that.
Pretty much.
They continued to use it for Type 0 as well. So we won t be sure.until it ships.
I don't think that's how it'll work
Actually yeah...the combat was really slow and weighty. I'm hoping you can pick up the pace a lot.
The car was fine. This seem like a very different RPG from the norm. I like the road trip aspect.
I really hope he left on his own accord because he is confident enough the team can handle the rest of the game based on his vision and that it was consensual.Kind of like what Famassu said that they just need to reach the finish line and Nomura's done all he could.
Realistically, I think this is unlikely and that he was asked to leave because the CEO was getting impatient about their biggest title.
Its sad,really sad to have something take away from you like that.

I kinda feel this way, but it also has to do with the direction of this trailer. E3 2013 trailer was sensational, probably one of the best of the series.
I guess is fine since it was gameplay, unlike the other, but it was closer to some random gameplay than a proper trailer.
All I can say is he left for negative reasons.

"Those who see the light of expiring souls." The lights are crystal shards representing souls dying and going through the gate to the land of the dead.
We see this phenomenon in the XIII series and it looks like the stuff the latest art with Nocto has.

man if that is gameplay on the actual world map that we saw, then god I will love this game.
Seems like a HUGE open world map.

That's quite sad to hear. Hope KHIII can live up to his own expectations.

I HOPE HOPE someday we can have a retrospective of all XV development.
Should be amazing.
Have you been made aware why Nomura left or is it just rumors that you can't share?
so you do know the actual details behind why he left?
It is a full action RPG.

Oh boy...
8 years is a long time. Is it really impatience at this point, or pragmatism?
Why did they announce it in public like that though ? That kinda sucked and was unnecessary.
They could have kept up a facade infront of the fans that Nomura is still "co-director" or "creative director" or anything.
Now it feels like,frankly, he got kicked out.

The silver lining after such a stupidly long development is that they're at least sticking to their guns and making it new gen only. Thank goodness it ain't cross gen.
I don't see this game coming out in Japan before Q4 2015 at the earliest. It's an early 2916 western release at best.

Looks like the FF I've been waiting for since FF9. About fucking time.
Ugh. Probably. Can we pretty please get Kitase back instead? Or Itou?
Feeling better now =)

Same here, I have loved his work, would have liked to see him finish this after all this time. Hopefully KH3 helps.
Agreed, they even got the hard part out of the way by doing the co-director thing.

Oh I just thought they might give us some areas from FFXV to run around in but with a set party instead of full access to the members shown in trailers or the final game.
I didn't even hear the trailer was for the demo, though. Do you mean it's footage was taken from the demo or rather that it shows areas we'll see in it?
Toriyama is in because of Kitase.
I hate to say this but it always felt like he covered for his mistakes.
FFXIII went through hell and started on the PS2 alongside FFXII only to be released in 2010.
Yet Toriyama never got kicked and made two other games.
Actually, going off the old footage, that's exactly the kind of faux Shakespeare bullshit I would expect.
The casual dialogue/bro ribbing in this trailer was a nice surprise.
The whole thing has me feeling better about Tabatas' "road trip" comments, which I thought sounded aaaaaaaaaawful up to now.
He's well liked, reliable, and has managed to ship a bunch of games in the last generation. There's a lot of vitriol online with regards to his recent products, but he seems to have strong internal support. I'm sure he's working on other projects right now, but S-E is probably careful now not to announce stuff until they have something worthwhile to show. I think how they've handled Type-0 HD is a good example of this. They didn't want to release any footage to the public until they had something attractive to share.
I was just saying yesterday how FFIX made me happy playing it. I'm getting similar vibes. I agree.

Thirteen flew over the cuckoo's nest
People don't realize that inside S-E he is one of the few devs that actually manages to develop and release his games in a timely manner. T.Nomura's depature shows how many troubles run inside this company and Toriyama's not at the core of the problem.
That said I'm sad because I really fear Nomura is next leaving
well, famitsu and other Japanese media described today's trailer as "the trailer for the demo" so that is why I am assuming like that.
That's pretty fascinating, I'm now wondering how Kitase feels about Lightning.
I recall seeing Toriyama's name as one of the directors of FFX. Since that game in such
a masterpiece, I figure he should take a similar approach on his next project. Have a
a couple other directors there along with him to minimize his tendency for bullshit.
Edit: Wait a minute, wikipedia says Kitase is the main director of FFX. Why is this guy enabling Toriyama lol
This is true. I don't think he is necessarily a bad director either. X-2 had a lot of triumphs. And he actually has some good ideas with his plot but he needs to stay away from the story/writing otherwise. Guess we will have to wait and see.. hopefully for the better..

I liked all mainline Final Fantasy (except XIII series) plus a few spin-offs like Type-0 and Tactics. Favorite is VI, followed closely by VII.
And I think XV is looking marvellous. The setting is very interesting because it incorporates the contemporary environment found from games like Shadow Hearts and Parasite Eve series with standard fantasy setting.
The all-male party doesn't bother me. In fact, I think it's also a very rare occasion a JRPG party has the audacity to try something different, to tell a story about a small group of male friends going through an adventure with a grand plot and lore of the setting backing up their stories.
Gameplay is feeling like a mix of Kingdom Hearts, Type-0 and Dragon's Dogma. Noctis teleporting in the style of Just Cause 2 makes it sweeter. Last but not least, I'm so bloody excited fighting classic FF monsters in real-time environment. Can't wait to see summon being used, going to be insane.
