**************







I'm so sorry for all of you.

Truly sorry.

What? The game is a 2017 release confirmed now?

 

[MegamanXZero]

I didn't comment on this before, so I'll go ahead and say it right now:

Is this the most boring videogame trailer of all-time?

Yup.
W8ed 9 years for this!

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

What? The game is a 2017 release confirmed now?

After looking at this ATR you believe this is a 2016 game?

Tabata said this was a teaser, so where is real ducking trailer?

In development

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

Well that was probably the most underwhelming trailer I've ever seen.

 

[The Last One]

After looking at this ATR you believe this is a 2016 game?

I'm sorry, but if you want so much people to eat crow at least wait for some confirmation. This still can be a 2016 game, they're gonna show it in every major event from now on.

Can't wait for them to read dialogue associated with the storyboard that they plan to make a full cutscene for the game.

 

[i-Jest]

So the consensus is most don't like the trailer huh. Welp, I enjoyed it.

Well, the "eat crow" wasn't exactly about the release date, but rather, some of you were expecting meaninful info and developments out of this.

The reality is that the game hasn't been as far away for a 2016 release as of now. Even if releases chances it will be a incomplete experience with airships as dlc...

next Gamescom we get the gameplay trailer

I agree actually that all the info released was atrocious, almost everyone expected more so feel free to quote all the fanbase so we can all eat crow together.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

i cannot wait for the posts and threads when this game comes out. I don't even want it to fail, but it's just such a goddamn mess I think it's gonna be a flop of historic proportions given its development story.

 

[Kieli]

That's assuming they'll actually have anything to show.

 

[-Horizon-]

I still can't believe I stayed up last night for this :/

 

[DiipuSurotu]

That's assuming they'll actually have anything to show.

2 minutes of a weakened Noctis restoring his HPs behind a rock while enemies are patrolling nearby. EMOTIONS.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

So much swelling music, but I hardly know the characters or what the situation is, so it really delivered 0 emotional impact.

Especially considering I went in thinking it was gonna be a meaty gameplay trailer.

Awful. This is PS3-era-SE bad.

i cannot wait for the posts and threads when this game comes out. I don't even want it to fail, but it's just such a goddamn mess I think it's gonna be a flop of historic proportions given its development story.

And we don't even really know what has happened. I can't imagine what it's been like behind closed doors with this game.

Still, I'm hoping it'll be a new, good era for FF, and that at least Nomura's core vision will still be intact.

 

[Ferrio]

I'm so glad I lost faith in Square long long ago or this would of hurt lol. Let go, it stops being painful and becomes a great comedy.

 

[Mifune]

What an astonishingly bad trailer.

I might just buy FFXIV (loved the beta) and forget XV is even a thing. It really looks like a huge mess that will probably undergo another transformation before it releases.

 

[Kieli]

Edit: Oops, wrong thread.

 

[Grewitch]

I think this is SE subtly telling us what's coming our way: a whole lot of nuthin' and a flood of tears.

I get the mood they were going for but the writing and dialogue wasn't that great. Tabata, you better deliver, man.

 

[Voror]

The trailer definitely would have worked a lot better if they had all that stuff at the start and then transitioned into current day with Noctis and everyone. Use that point to show off new battle stuff like magic.

I am curious about the three figures. I'm assuming Gods of some sort and it may be linked to Noctis with Regis knowing this and figuring his kid is going to have a harsh destiny in the future.

For that matter, is that bit about Noctis having special abilities to see light of the dead or whatever even still in the game at this point?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

The CE for this game better have a making of disc. That would be the best thing of all time.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

The CE for this game better have a making of disc. That would be the best thing of all time.

At this point it could be longer than the extended editions of LOTR and The Hobbit combined.

 

[Xiraiya]

Trailer was interesting, am I the only one who felt like maybe there are timetravel shenanigans?

Noctis's dad looking like a knight from "medieval Final Fantasy" looked really out of place even for the XV Modern world, it made me kind of wonder if they somehow got moved to a new era to keep the family safe but Noctis and his dad are actually not from that time, especially with what seemed to be stuff forming around them a little bit.

It would be an interesting concept.

 

[Arkeband]

At the end the cameraman will turn the camera around.... and it's...!

 

[Whompa02]

Kinda confused why Regis had to change but I do like the new design too...just don't get why they can't just fucking go with what they have.

Well I guess they rebooted something that doesn't even exist. Still excited to see what they have to offer...hopefully TGS has some new stuff.

 

[YankeeDonB]

So the consensus is most don't like the trailer huh. Welp, I enjoyed it.

Me too. I think it would have gone down smoother for many if ATB had delivered though.

 

[Brazil]

That was fucking beautiful. Jesus H Christ.

Shivers.

 

[Z3M0G]

That trailer was much better than this thread lead me to believe...

 

[YankeeDonB]

That trailer was much better than this thread lead me to believe...

Yeah, I get that it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the subtle changes in Regis' face as he considers Noctis' grim fate and his inability to change it, followed by dawn breaking w/ those ghostly figures over the palace was pretty awesome I thought.

I think the main problem is everyone was expecting a big info/gameplay/release date blowout, not a subtle character moment showcasing great in-engine rendering.

I don't think that's the problem. It was pretty legitimate for people to expect that.

 

[YankeeDonB]

I don't think that's the problem. It was pretty legitimate for people to expect that.

By problem I just mean: the reason people are reacting so strongly against what is, in some ways, a decent trailer. I didn't mean to imply that people who were expecting info blowout were wrong to do so.

 

[Grieves]

I've just watched the trailer and it's not as bad as GAF would have me believe. I just think that SE have a plan of what they want to show and when to build hype and they have just misjudged the mood of the fans.

Still, I'm hoping KH3 beats this out the door as I'm far more interested in that.

 

[Labadal]

People are complaining because after all these years, this wasd what they showed in the trailer. What we saw of the game in the ATR was less than impressive.
