If there was any doubt left in me it's gone now. We won't get to play FF XV before KH3. If THIS is their big trailer they skipped E3 for....good night.

"Fate would fall to the father and son of Lucis".
So is that Noctis grandpa?

!
That could make a lot of sense I think.

Edit: Wait no never mind. It says "His father could only hold him and mourn his destiny".

 

[Jigorath]

Don't see why I'm supposed to be emotional over this. I know nothing about this kid. I know nothing about the dad. I don't care.

 

[wmlk]

This was simply not the trailer they needed. I don't mind the story stuff at all as it's clearly the beginning of the story with no character progression, but it's not the time and place for just that.

 

[the3ye]

Did Noctis's father just whisper? I mean, why is he not voiced? I would not mind hearing the japanese VA.

Tales from my ass, but hey.

Japanese trailer doesn't have VA either... This game won't be released anytime soon if they still haven't recorded VA for trailers....

 

[nelsonroyale]

It just feels like a forced love interest now. Not a fan.

? It seemed pretty clear she was a love interest from the beginning though. It obviously had a Romeo and Juliette theme...

Aha, maybe that is the grandfather...! Sure would make a lot more sense. I mean he looks in his sixties even there.

 

[Magusx]

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

Also in the 2013 Noctis is a bit depressed and don't want to eat his food.
This is ofc because his REAL father died!

 

[silva1991]

IT IS SOMEONE ELSE IN THE 2013 TRAILER, THANK ME LATER

Plot twist: Rigis isn't Noctis's real father and he is different from the one in dawn trailer?

 

[orochi91]

"Fate would fall to the father and son of Lucis".
So is that Noctis's grandpa?

Good catch!

Crisis averted everybody!

Tabata, I take back everything I said!

 

[Herla]

I haven't followed this game much, but who is the other guy in the second picture?
Because it looks much more like the one in the first screenshot.

 

[YianGaruga]

This trailer was lacking a Leona Lewis song

I can't get emotional like this

 

[KeRaSh]

Tabata, get your shit together.

To be honest I prefer the design of the concept art over the old image. The trailer makes him seem broken/sad which really fits the mood even more than the concept art. The concept art makes him seem confident and determined.
Well, at least it seems that way to me.

 

[Guess Who]

Don't see why I'm supposed to be emotional over this. I know nothing about this kid. I know nothing about the dad. I don't care.

Yeah, that's what's baffling to me about people who are saying they cried at this. I have absolutely no reason to be emotionally invested in anything that is happening.

 

[Slowdive]

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.

I hope the person from this trailer is someone else, otherwise Regis' old design was way better.

 

[BlueWord]

This was simply not the trailer they needed. I don't mind the story stuff at all as it's clearly the beginning of the story with no character progression, but it's not the time and place for just that.

Agreed completely. If they can follow up with something more substantial during the ATR, though, I can see things working out. Certainly, this trailer has at least served to get people talking.

 

[Jarmel]

"Fate would fall to the father and son of Lucis".
So is that Noctis's grandpa?

We have no clue because nothing was explained.

 

[TheGreatLugia]

The first minute was neat but the rest of the trailer brought it to a screeching halt.

And it does seem like Regis might have gotten a redesign since he looks completely different in the new flashback compared to how he looked in the E3 2013 flashback.

I'm also not sure what to think of Luna's role since I preferred the concept for Stella's character.

 

[NeededSleep]

wow..... wow that was a whole lot of nothing.

 

[schlynch]

Wow. That was boring.

 

[bloodyroarxx]

I haven't followed this game much, but who is the other guy in the second picture?
Because it looks much more like the one in the first screenshot.

Indeed, hmmm

 

[MissDeviling]

What if she's not even a love interest anymore?

It'd be cool if their relationship was strictly political, though that's unlikely.

 

[vinnygambini]

This trailer was lacking a Leona Lewis song

I can't get emotional like this

Missing dat Bleeding Love motion

 

[Aeriscloud]

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

Maybe you can write your own fan fiction just like Nomura, Young Blade.

 

[brandonh83]

The art is nice but the trailer already burned me out on the scene the art is depicting.

 

[chefbags]

Good catch!

Crisis averted everybody!

Tabata, I take back everything I said!

If it's the OG king then that makes sense. I'd like to believe that now. It is ingrained unless said otherwise lol

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Someone get Tabata on the line! We need an emergency ATR!

 

[Harkins1721]

Everyone getting so bent out of shape. The salt.....omg

 

[DeSolos]

It just feels like a forced love interest now. Not a fan.

It may eliminate the awkward courtship part of the story. They'll probably go out Romeo and Juliet style anyway.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Indeed, hmmm

! That looks like him.

 

[Mr Rivuz]

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.

The man holding Noctis in the new trailer looks a lot like the guy in the background of the third picture you posted.

 

[Perfo]

The arranged marriage plot seems interesting to me. It always ends up really bizarre provided they don't just drop it.

It's also very unsual for a videogame, sincerely I can't recall a videogame where this happens. If they handle it well it'll be cool as shit. It's actually the thing I'm most interested in finding out now about the plot.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Music was cool, trailer was lame.

 

[Philippo]

Nah he's probably still Regis, i mean under the armor he wears the same suit.

 

[kenji_sama]

- Worst trailer i've ever seen, the teaser gif told it all.
+ The OST is amazing.
Tabata once again proves he is terrible at making trailer.

 

[Mcdohl]

I haven't followed this game much, but who is the other guy in the second picture?
Because it looks much more like the one in the first screenshot.

This guy?

 

[stryke]

No thanks Square Enix, I'm not feeling that love.

 

[Frumix]

Agreed completely. If they can follow up with something more substantial during the ATR, though, I can see things working out. Certainly, this trailer has at least served to get people talking.

I don't know why people have ANY hopes for the ATR.
It's a marketing gimmick designed to pretend the devs care about talking to fans.
They don't.

Even FF14 team that pioneered the Live Letters for Square don't care.
All Live Letters are these days are 2 hours of wincing at the PR department behind the camera and giving marketing pushes for products.

 

[sith23]

Japanese trailer doesn't have VA either... This game won't be released anytime soon if they still haven't recorded VA for trailers....

Yeah, I was afraid of asking because of this.

!
That could make a lot of sense I think.

Edit: Wait no never mind. It says "His father could only hold him and mourn his destiny".

Duh, got excited. Sorry.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Don't see why I'm supposed to be emotional over this. I know nothing about this kid. I know nothing about the dad. I don't care.

Exactly.

 

[Hexa]

Good catch!

Crisis averted everybody!

Tabata, I take back everything I said!

It says "The father could but hold him and mourn his destiny."
If that's his grandpa then this trailer is even more stupid than it seems to be right now.

It's also very unsual for a videogame, sincerely I can't recall a videogame where this happens. If they handle it well it'll be cool as shit. It's actually the thing I'm most interested in finding out now about the plot.

Yeah. Same. I have a feeling that the arranged marriage will end up falling apart but they'll end up in a relationship anyway.

 

[dottme]

I like this trailer and I like the atmosphere it is putting in place.
But it is really laking of gameplay

 

[UberTag]

Yeah, that's what's baffling to me about people who are saying they cried at this. I have absolutely no reason to be emotionally invested in anything that is happening.

Perhaps they were crying tears of disappointment?

 

[Dark_castle]

What if she's not even a love interest anymore?

Really hope she's not. In fact, I hope she murders Noctis in his wedding night, and then the game takes on a different perspective with Luna as the protagonist and her group of girlfriends to take over the world.

 

[Damerman]

The problem isn't that there is a lack of gameplay or pew pew but rather there is zero damn context for any of these scenes. It could be an advertisement for a fantasy book for all that was presented here. There is no narrative presented to the audience but a number of seemingly random scenes.

This might have worked if the trailer was longer or the text wasn't vague as fuck.

How do you achieve this without spoiling?

 

[orochi91]

If it's the OG king then that makes sense. I'd like to believe that now. It is ingrained unless said otherwise lol

Agreed.

That's Noctis's grandfather now; if it turns out to be Regis, I still won't believe it lol

It's also very unsual for a videogame, sincerely I can't recall a videogame where this happens. If they handle it well it'll be cool as shit. It's actually the thing I'm most interested in finding out now about the plot.

Yeah. Same. I have a feeling that the arranged marriage will end up falling apart but they'll end up in a relationship anyway.

It happened in Tales of Vesperia, the main dude had a fiance through political arrangements, but I can't recall how it ended :/

 

[nelsonroyale]

It says "The father could but hold him and mourn his destiny."
If that's his grandpa then this trailer is even more stupid than it seems to be right now.

Fair enough. They really changed his father though...

 

[cripterion]

Majority of the trailer is father holding child protag and then giving a single tear.

I was like "what is this tripe?" Lol

The 3 big figures look interesting at least

 

[Nemo]

I was like ohhh shit 3 mins at first

... It's crazy how you can show so little in that timeframe for a trailer

 

[threelights]

I like this trailer and I like the atmosphere it is putting in place.
But it is really laking of gameplay

Well, they have 17 hours of Duscae on stage at Gamescom

That's all the gameplay you'll need.

 

[oimori]

Tabata, get your shit together.

He is King Regis. Confirmed by dengeki.
http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/001/100/1100781/

But he looks too old to have such a young kid. Noctis could be an adopted child.
