Reminds me of those creepy wax museum statues.

 

[Hexa]

I think in this trailer is his real father, and is a different person than seen in other trailers.

That's what I thought too at the beginning but it doesn't really seem to make sense in other ways.

 

[Dice//]

My thoughts on Noctis' dad's redesign: I'm not invested enough in the character to care.

 

[the_sun_king]

"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."

Pretty classic stuff if Luna is indeed in an arranged engagement to Noctis. The very base premise of this project since it was still known as Versus XIII has harkened to classic Final Fantasy.

 

[Yabberwocky]

Well... the ending was atmospheric! Summons? Gimme all the summons!

Lil' Luna's outfit and hair is precious - lil' Luna's face is terrifying, in the vicinity of Little Sister/Bioshock tier. I'm still looking forward to learning about her, though. (I type this as I mournfully clutch my scrapbook of Stella screengrabs.) Please don't be damsel'd, please don't be damsel'd...

Whilst I agree that even if Regis is older, the facial structure has changed a bit from the original design. Tabata, you've got your Cindy, don't take away DILF!Regis.

DILF!Regis was quality.

 

[orochi91]

Tabata, get your shit together.

Seriously, who the fuck is this impostor?

That ain't Regis.

 

[threelights]

Yeah, arranged marriage is not really cliche... It's just something that happens in these types of settings... I'm more worried about her actual personality.


Either way, fear not people. Next week there's KH3.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Nope. KH is not my jam. This is not okay!

I offer FFXV as a sacrifice to the KH Gods!!

 

[Damerman]

Good trailer. Showed a cool scene without spoiling much. Hope they continue this way up to release.

Those facial animations were fantastic. You could feel the emotion.

Agreed.

Its too bad they didn't appeal to the pew pew crowd.

 

[Ushiwaka]

I LOVED IT!

 

[Wagram]

The hysteria over a 3 minute trailer, designs of characters, and marriages is really sad folks. There's something really wrong in this thread.

 

[HerroRygar]

If whole ATR will be spent for explanation of the trailer, I will really get mad. Tabata, please don't do that.

I had planned on waking up early and getting into work so I could watch it there, but now I'm tempted to just show up at my normal time, miss the ATR and read a summary. Really don't want to hear exposition on this for an hour then get a "see you soon!" without even a release window.

 

[ED Cantu]

After this trailer and new story info I'm missing Stella more and more.
I want this dammit:

I hope something similar is still there but now I really doub it.

Someone should put the GAF logo in Regis' face and the VSXIII logo in Noctis'

 

[artsi]

In the previous trailer they show how Regis looked when Noctis was a child, and he was completely different.

This. If he wasn't redesigned then he would age like this which makes no sense.

The second picture is just 2-3 years after the first one.

 

[shinobi602]

On the actual trailer though, why did Noctis push his pap away like that? What an ass lol.

 

[GloriousBagel]

Nicolas Cage?!?

 

[RocBase]

With every new trailer I honestly feel even more confused about what's actually going...

 

[YianGaruga]

ATR might be Noctis being hugged...for one hour!

They invited the biggest German youtube celebrities to re-enact the hugging scene live. It'll be so great

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Either way, fear not people. Next week there's KH3.

Wait what?

 

[Dice//]

Reminds me of those creepy wax museum statues.

Kinda why I didn't like how little Luna looked. Her hair...just...looked like a wig.

 

[Astarte]

Wow this trailer wasn't worth the build up at all

 

[the3ye]

Hope there's more to come in the next few hours...
DAT MUSIC though... Shimoko is the best part about FFXV so far.
That Prelude T_T

 

[nib95]

The facial animations and skin rendering look very good imo. Totally looks like the skin is actually a soft, realistic, additional tissue layer, instead of just a texture applied to a model.

 

[rockman zx]

Glad we have the Active Time Report later, the trailer was very "soft".

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Funny thing was, in the other thread, you had people ranting about the more "medieval"/ceremonial wear, and this trailer, that medieval-inspiration look was all over the place. LOL!

 

[moered6]

garbage trailer

 

[Frumix]

The hysteria over a 3 minute trailer, designs of characters, and marriages is really sad folks. There's something really wrong in this thread.

This is what happens when you build a fanbase only to suffocate it for information for years.

 

[krizzx]

Everything I'd expect from neo-Square, and that is not a good thing. I also expect the narrative and characterizations of the FF7 remake to follow this line.

 

[kittens]

With every new trailer I honestly feel even more confused about what's actually going...

It's now a VR sky viewing "experience" with an "emotional" "narrative"

 

[threelights]

Wait what?

Disney's event. KH3 will be there

And then November again.

 

[Zolbrod]

Trailer didn't do much for me, but then we've already had a demo (which I quite liked), so they've got my money in any case.

Also, Shimomura is God(ess).

 

[wmlk]

The hysteria over a 3 minute trailer, designs of characters, and marriages is really sad folks. There's something really wrong in this thread.

The marriage stuff offends me the most.

 

[Jarmel]

Should have saved the hugging scene for the actual game where there is context.

 

[Dark_castle]

Wait, I must be missing something. This can't really be it right? Am I just dreaming?

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Wait what?

New stuff at D23.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

What a stinker.

Let's waste half the trailer on a sleeping kid :lol

They really have nothing to show.

 

[the_sun_king]

Seriously, who the fuck is this impostor?

That ain't Regis.

It's Regis. Clearly. And if he was redesigned (which actually looks more like it), so what? Is this gonna ruin your anticipation for this game?

 

[Prompto]

Wait what?

D23 Expo. KH3 is confirmed to be there

 

[Mcdohl]

To be fair...Regis looked weird in the past. (cool clothes tho)

But he did look badass in the present.

 

[BocoDragon]

Wait, I must be missing something. This can't really be it right? Am I just dreaming?

This is a reality based on fantasy.

 

[Mortemis]

Wait what?

KH3 gonna be at D23

Nomura's gonna show us how a trailer's really made. believe

 

[unity of the void]

I actually prefer the new Regis (if it is Regis). The old one always looked like Goofy to me.

 

[Chilikar]

This. If he wasn't redesigned then he would age like this which makes no sense.

The second picture is just 2-3 years after the first one.

Maybe the real father of Noctis (who happens to be a soldier from Nifelheim, if he was the one abusing Luna) had to give him up to the king of Lucis because he was "chosen" over the daughter?

That's how I'm interpreting this trailer, at least. I don't want to stir up a shitstorm when Regis can be seen in the 2014 trailers

 

[DeSolos]

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.

^^^^^^

Typical cliched arranged marriage bs.

For the genre they're going for it fits, besides that's just one part of her background. Who's to say where it goes from there. Clearly it doesn't go through.

 

[Damerman]

My thoughts on Noctis' dad's redesign: I'm not invested enough in the character to care.

Stop being so rational, the theme of this thread is unwarranted hystaria over trivial shit.

 

[xenorevlis]

Feels incomplete. I mean... is there a day, dusk, and night trailer? Do they each have one long scene from the game that once removed equals the rest combined as the real trailer?

 

[Flandy]

Tabata already said they changed literally everything about the character to the point where it wasn't Stella. Stella was a warrior with powers. Luna is, from what i'm seeing here, the absolute opposite of that with no power, or much strength. Stella was supposed to meet Noctis at a party where they struck up a relationship in secret even though their countries were at war. Luna is already betrothed to Noctis apparently.

Its all different, the game, the story and the feel.

I didn't know It had changed this much ((

 

[Magusx]

That's what I thought too at the beginning but it doesn't really seem to make sense in other ways.

Come on it can't be the same person.
He looks younger in the future, it has to be a different person!

 

[Turin]

Personality and agency are the concern with Luna. The arranged marriage doesn't surprise or concern me.

 

[Bennettt2]

Hope there's more to come in the next few hours...
DAT MUSIC though... Shimoko is the best part about FFXV so far.
That Prelude T_T

She is ON POINT! You simply can't fault her on her FFXV work.
