It doesn't reflect the need of NA input either.
Bad writing is bad writing, got nothing to do with the region the game was made in. American devs write garbage as well.

Heh, my girlfriend hates Vanille more than I thought any person could possibly ever hate a fictional character. Personally, Vanille's voice was the biggest problem for me. The constant accent switching combined with how annoying she sounded to begin with just grated on my ears badly.
I've never understood the Hope hate though - he's little kid who got dragged into a war with his mother caught in the crossfire. He had every right to be an angsty little shit. And then he totally redeemed himself in FF13-2 and I really enjoyed grown up Hope and thought he matured into a good character. I still need to finish Lightning Returns though, ended up like 6 days in and just got so bored.
So far the none of the VA here really bugs me except Noctis. But it's hard to tell how much of that is just the fault of it being a dub over a trailer. The "directing" of him feels a bit off.
Your right. I agree. I am just salty after being burned with FFXIII and the Final Fantasy 7 troll.

Most of the "dialogue" from the main cast so far were more like banter. As in chat or light conversations which are not directly to the main scenario but serves to provide small insights to their situation (like seeing the huge Adamantoise) or their character. Some of you seem to hate it, I don't mind it at all.
We can't judge the main scenario writing until it's out there.

There literally was no story related dialogue in this trailer.
Yeah, I can't stand Vanille. The rest I can tolerate to varying degrees though. Hope's fine until late in XIII where he starts constantly trying to boost everyone's moral every 5 seconds. Absolutely jarring when you consider he was trying to kill Snow just hours ago...
I dunno, I doubt I'll hate characters in this. I still absolutely hate Ignis' voice though. Which is a shame, I thought I might like him as a character.

What I love is that this kind of attention and graphical fidelity is being given to what seems one of the smaller towns in the game. Imagine what the big cities will be like?
Yoooo if they can deliver this shit's gonna be amazing
What, what happened?

I... I'm not used to getting hype about Final Fantasy. Som..someone hold me.
Well there is no way this is getting finished next year, so late 2016, maybe only in Japan.

Is there a specific reason why a lot of people say maybe only in Japan?
Haven't the past few FF games been global day releases? And wouldn't it be in SE's interest to do global releases?
Nope they release in Japan in December mostly then a few months after in the rest of the world.

That's a very odd thing to go into detail, dont you think? And yes she's impossibly hot so good job I guess.
Could someone write down what she said in the trailer exactly? I have trouble to understand what she said after her name. I think I heard the word "mechanic" but everything else is too muffled and weirdly sound mixed.
Cindy and head mechanic.

Cor is confirmed to be a guest party member. I'm guessing Regis and Stella/Luna would join in certain fights as well.

Thanks.
The sound mix in this trailer is all over the place. It may have something to do that english isn't my native language but I had trouble understanding many-a-dialogue in this trailer because of voices being too low volumed compared to the music/sound effects.

These (IMO) are all indicating that the game is still in an early development phase.Even at this point they keep changing fundamental gameplay aspects like which party mambers will be using magic.I think the game still has around 2 years in development ahead of it.

My best case scenario was a very late 2015 jp launch and early 2016 for the rest but the more I read about its progress the more I realize I may have been too positive.
Which is crazy to think that the game might actually come out 10 fucking years after it was initially unveiled.

I've been an FF fan since the 90s but I personally wasn't very hyped for FF13. I did pay $80 for the Advent Children Blu Ray that came with the FF13 demo to try (mostly for bragging rights among my friends) but otherwise, I didn't invest a whole lot of mindshare into it before it came out.
I could say the same for XII (that I wasn't incredibly hyped) which turned out to be a much better game.
XV on the other hand.......... I haven't been this excited for a videogame since I was a teenager.

I'd prefer Sydney... but otherwise, I'm not going to quibble too much.
Ditto. But that won't stop a lot of other folks from already heralding this as "the savior of JRPGs" as if the genre hasn't continued to thrive largely absent of meaningful Square Enix contributions for roughly the past decade.
Haha ok, that's pretty convincing. Honestly was kind of doubting they could deliver on their promises with a 2015 release, so this really makes me feel better.

Now that is promising to hear. I really want this game to knock the critics' socks off. A lot of negative perception towards FF that needs to be remedied.

loving everything i see there.
No, I'd say they took it from the elder scrolls. You had to sleep in those to level up. Honestly they seem to be taking a lot of stuff from them. It worries me as someone who doesn't care much for Skyrim.
I suppose it could have been taken from Dark Souls too, who knows.

Honestly i've waited so long that a few more years are nothing in comparison.I just want them to polish the game as much as possible and deliver a game that really holds up to the series high standards and ambition that was used to be known for (excluding last generation).

the comment regarding the male members of the team taking an extra interest in cid was awful and really obvious.
anyway, this looks to be the most interesting final fantasy since xii and despite some awful writing/acting, i am excited. i bet there won't be many towns in it though.

So Titan-sized Titan as a summon.......they'd better test the FPS properly or there will be chaos lol
The party system looks promising enough. However, with a 40-hour story and assuming there will be times with no guest at all, I'm expecting no less than 5-6 guests for the system to be truly relevant to the game mechanics. Hopefully they'll include a wide variety of them and it would be nice if we could pick a guest of choice by talking to them during post game, that way it would add strategy (e.g. we pick an attack-based guest for an enemy with low defense or a guest focused on magic for an enemy weak to elemental attacks and so on)

The world map shows quite a few, actually.
Yiazmat 50 million HP incoming. I hope the game is littered with Marks like XII.
I really wonder how summons will handle considering how big they are.
I'm with you on this but I think they will deliver this time!
Can someone clarify one thing for me: that titan at the end of the trailer is there to help us or it's our enemy? And is there a difference between Eidolon and titan?
you fight it first, defeat it to obtain it as your summon to use.

Eidolon is simply a 'naming scheme' that's used for some FF-universes. In practice, Eidolon, Guardian Force, Aeons are all the same thing, which are 'Summons.'
Titan is simply one of many summons from the Final Fantasy line of summons. It's just not as iconic as Ifrit, Shiva and Bahamut.
What can we expect? Tabata is the same guy who included a creepy stalking/spying segment in Type0, and he directed 3rd Birthday, a game where Aya Brea's clothes fly off in pieces as she takes more damage.

iirc that was due to the VA directors more than anything else, they apparently insisted on keeping all the Japanese mannerisms (such as Vanille laughing at nothing), rather than adapting the voices to make more sense to the western culture.
