[Jawbreaker]

I... was expecting a bit more than that. What a letdown.

 

[Dark_castle]

Whichever intern directed this trailer literally needs to be fired asap.

 

[artsi]

I'm not mad about the shortness / content, but I'm confused what that was about.

The father didn't look like Regis, more like a soldier, yet he was driving a super slick car.

Did he just build Insomnia there using some kind of super summoning?
If so, who is King Regis?

I don't know anything anymore.

 

[Reveirg]

Website has been updated with new synopsis.

 

[Blobbers]

Hans Gruber Regis > new Regis though

 

[JCreasy]

 

[Trago]

SOMEONE CLOSE THE OTHER THREAD. I CAN'T STAND TO LOOK AT IT

Nothin' to be ashamed of. We were all definitely expecting more than what we got.

 

[Quan]

I laughed in the end of the trailer. Like WTF it's 3 m long and nothing happens.

I'll always be with you. :l

 

[benzy]

 

[the_sun_king]

Wonder what's going on with kid Luna there.

Spoiler

Probably the moment that leads to her also getting the power to see the light of expiring souls? (This is assuming that angle is still in for Noctis' female counterpart, and Luna is said counterpart.)

That's what immediately came to my mind.

 

[unity of the void]

I thought the mood of the trailer was done very well. I feel like there are a lot of symbols that they're alluding to that I haven't picked up on though.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Same. Heart felt emotion in a video game trailer? Blasphemy! Needs more guns, explosions and murder!

It's not that it's a story scene, it's just a weirdly paced and presented trailer. There's one line, but it's still not voiced (apparently). After an initial scene of action, the rest of the trailer is just one very long cut of a scene with practically zero context. It's beautifully animated but as a standalone trailer it's pretty empty.

 

[EatinOlives]

The emotion of the scene with the father is marred by the fact that the entire trailer is nothing but that scene. Had there been anything else, even 1-2 seconds of gameplay, it would've felt worthwhile. Otherwise it would've been appended to a longer/more informative trailer.

The only good part was the music, which was absolutely amazing.

 

[stryke]

What a waste of time. They pretty much showed most of it with that teaser yesterday, only the Luna scene was new.

 

[Megawarrior]

SE pls

I feel like that girl in the background right now.

 

[BocoDragon]

Was that King Regis? He didn't look anything like him. Hope they aren't changing more established characters, like they did with Stella.

He's 20 years younger or whatever.

 

[RexNovis]

Same. Heart felt emotion in a video game trailer? Blasphemy! Needs more guns, explosions and murder!

I'm a total sucker for Father and Son stuff so this one hit me right in the feels and yea I really appreciated how understated it was. Gives something to think about, dissect and parse through. In fact, this is my favorite trailer they have shown thus far. Very excited!

 

[donutzsick]

UGH I'M SO TIRED OF SQUARE ENIX SPOILING EVERYTHING IN THEIR TRAILERS!

*Watches trailer*

UGH WHY DIDN'T THEY SHOW MORE? THIS WAS SO DULL!

.

 

[Soma]

well at least the "they're showing too much lately!" crowd must be happy!

 

[texhnolyze]

I never understand the hype behind trailers.
I'm going to play the game, not looking at trailers.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Wow, what a shit trailer. Guy holding his son/daughter. Whoop dee doo

 

[Turin]

I didn't mind the trailer. Pretty anti climactic but I liked seeing the quieter stuff.

Just need a damn release date at this point.

She represents our soul.

lol

 

[GasProblem]

And I was expecting some sort of a release window announcement

 

[farisr]

The emotion of the scene with the father is marred by the fact that the entire trailer is nothing but that scene. Had there been anything else, even 1-2 seconds of gameplay, it would've felt worthwhile.

I'm not against full story-based trailers, but they need to have more than what was shown here.

 

[Feep]

UGH I'M SO TIRED OF SQUARE ENIX SPOILING EVERYTHING IN THEIR TRAILERS!

Literally no one says this.

 

[Benzychenz]

Hmm well then.

I've been thinking KH3 will release before this but now I'm convinced.

I wonder what will release first, XV or VIIR.

 

[Jarmel]

Would Square Enix even have the balls to go down a sexual abuse route for a child?

 

[jayu26]

 

[HalfwayOrb]

That was a good trailer.
Dudebros gonna dudebro.

 

[Leafhopper]

Sooooo they skipped E3, for this?

The LPers though man.

STORY
In a matter of days, the Kingdom of Lucis is to sign an armistice, ending a long and bitter conflict with Niflheim. Ahead of the ceremony, Prince Noctis, heir to the Lucian throne, sets forth from his homeland to formalize the union of states through his marriage to the Lady Lunafreya of the imperial province of Tenebrae.

The offer of peace, however, is no more than a ruse to lower the Lucian shield, and the imperial army takes the crown city and its sacred crystal in one fell swoop. En route to his destination, Noctis is shocked to learn that he, his father the king, and his betrothed are believed dead.

Overnight, the dream of peace has faded into a distant memory. His world crumbling around him, Noctis has naught but his resolve and his loyal companions to see him through the trials to come.

Why there is no information about this in the trailer? I'm confused.

 

[Ray Down]

Well that scene is like 15 years in the past, time ages a man.

 

[Mortemis]

every trailer since nomura dipped out on this has gotten worser and worser, I'm scared for what they have to offer next

good news tho is that we only need to wait another week for nomura to bless us with a KH3 trailer. believe

 

[Pappasman]

UGH I'M SO TIRED OF SQUARE ENIX SPOILING EVERYTHING IN THEIR TRAILERS!

*Watches trailer*

UGH WHY DIDN'T THEY SHOW MORE? THIS WAS SO DULL!

good job missing the point entirely.

 

[Reveirg]

Hmmm Roberto Ferrari's name was removed on the website too.

 

[Ceravic]

Literally no one says this.

You obviously don't read threads about this game around here then, huh?

 

[Turin]

Spoiler

Probably the moment that leads to her also getting the power to see the light of expiring souls? (This is assuming that angle is still in for Noctis' female counterpart, and Luna is said counterpart.)

That's what immediately came to my mind.

Yeah. I'm hoping she finds a way to save herself in that situation.

 

[J 0 E]

 

[The Emperor]

Where is Kagari? Is she safe? Is she alright?

 

[sprsk]

UGH I'M SO TIRED OF SQUARE ENIX SPOILING EVERYTHING IN THEIR TRAILERS!

*Watches trailer*

UGH WHY DIDN'T THEY SHOW MORE? THIS WAS SO DULL!

Let it all out man just release the anger.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

I loved it... so emotional ;_;

and that music wow !!

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I'm waiting for the Noon trailer now S-E

 

[shadowkat]

That's it? :l

 

[TheGatsby]

Please let there be a Dusk and a Twilight trailer over the next few days. Three trailers?

I'm delusional.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Is that a serpent sigil on the soldier's back? Is it Leviathan?

 

[orochi91]

Would Square Enix even have the balls to go down a sexual abuse route for a child?

Too dark for a mainline Final Fantasy.

If this was still a spin-off (Versus 13), then yea I can see them do it, especially since V13 was supposed to be a more darker story.

 

[Nose Master]

Such a disappointment and awkward trailer. Plot is fine, but give some fucking context. Noctis hugging his dad for a minute does absolutely nothing for your game.

 

[Morning Star]

Now I have to watch the FFVIIr trailer so I don't go to sleep angry.

 

[EscapeArtist]

Literally no one says this.

I've never heard anyone say that about games either, movies on the other hand....

 

[Ray Down]

And I was expecting some sort of a release window announcement

Maybe at the ATR.
