So how does the combat system work. From the trailer it looked like hack and slash, but there were menu options I noticed like attack, magic act, so is it a hybrid of ATB and free form combat?

i think its just free form no ATB was ever mentioned in any interview i dont remember. It's a fast pace more stylish KH battle system tho basically
 
I bet a few of you were like this + KH3 reveal:

sorry this is my fav gif

Yes, this was definitely me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing - it was like I was in some haze. I almost slapped myself to see if I was dreaming. :P

Honestly, as soon as I saw the Disney logo, I freaked out because I knew if they were going to show the KH HD collection, they would have done it with the other PS3 games, lol.
 
You played KH2? That game is definitely an RPG, and it has sequences like the ones in this trailer. Just relax, your levels and equipment are intact. :)

Action RPG.
Think Kingdom Hearts, since this game is the groundwork for the system KH3 will be using.

Oh right, because it's still based on Versus XIII. I played KH2 yes and am fine with an action RPG in and of itself. I'm just not sure if I'd like action RPG gameplay in a mainline Final Fantasy. I still feel they should relegate that to spinoffs. Maybe I'm a bit too traditional in this regard, I dunno. Will see how this is going to pan out in the SE conference.
 
Them feels! I was so psyched when i saw Square Enix logo and then when i finally saw Nomura, i knew that all that horrible wait is finally going to worth it. And then the actual trailer started and boy did it deliver.

Not to mention the teaser for KH 3.

This was one of the best E3 for me without any doubt.
 
There will be more info in the coming days. Remember Nomura's words. Doesn't seem like anyone paid attention to that. So that could well mean today, too.

Good times lie ahead.
 
wow so after rehashing ff13 all this gen they couldn't even come up with a new ff in all that time and just used verses 13 :/ square is really starting to blow the amount of time this game has had and it probably still won't turn out good
I fail to see how they "just used Verses [sic]", when they've obviously put huge effort into turning it into a PS4 game. They aren't "just doing" anything, they made the decision to make this for PS4(/Xbone) after probably realizing it's too ambitious for PS3 to handle. And seriously, this doesn't mean they don't have some FFXVI under development. They just wanted to reveal the game that's coming sooner first than make promises of a game that's probably still at least 2 years away.
 
From the looks of it, this is going to be one of those games people call a "JRPG" despite everything about it clearly being more standard of an action game.

Not really, most people will probably call it an action-rpg because that is what it always has been. The game will probably have some sort of leveling system and some sort of very basic stat/loot system, and probably some sort of character growth system for passive abilities. It's unlikely they'd show an actual numerical value for character HP if there wasn't some sort of stat system you can manipulate.
 
Can't remember the last time I was this excited for Final Fantasy. It's a feeling I've missed.

Dat name change from Versus XIII to XV. I had to stop myself from being too audible, since it was about 3 in the morning.
 
Nomura's particularly impressed me with this character -

He designed a guy who can actually pull of a fedora. Now that's rare!
 
I see great attention to detail

- like @1:40 when Noctis is hiding for cover at the dining table and his mate on the right hand side of the screen closes the door as a shield

- or @1:50 the collision detection when the tank character jumps in and the second guy he hits with his sword flies off in the correct direction that tank's sword came from

- @2:01 climbing on the air ship and his hands appear to hold on to the right places and then he puts one hand on the side of the ship with one leg on an angled ledge.

and much more...

That sounds pretty rad. As much as I loved FFIX, that battle system had to go. FFXIII wasn't the right answer, what with how terrible it was. I'm hoping for a good story & good characterization and not too much anime-convolution.
 
Man, I was all ready to jump in on 8/27 and now I'm going to make myself wait for the PS4 version

Hope that's not toooo far off
of course it'll be like Q2 2014

I remember Nomura talking about Noctis' character and saying that his characterization was important or something...I think he said people will either love it or not.
 
Might as well upload the rest of the cast (thanks Exentryk)

Sadly no Regis and Stella's Father(?).

And Prompto (blond guy) looks pretty terrible.
 
Why is everyone under the impression that this is a PS4 exclusive?

And mark your excitement now, GAF, when XV ends up being as big a disappointment as XIII was.
 
So can someone explain in basic terms which game is which?

XIII Versus is now XV and is it the one we saw in the trailer?

KH3 I know, I love that series.

But what is XIV that is exclusive?

I get confused with all the FF naming schemes.

Final Fantasy XV was formerly called Versus XIII, and is an Action RPG, we don't know if it's exclusive or not.

Final Fantasy XIV is an MMO, on PC, PS3 and PS4.

This won't happen , i have faith that Nomura will give us the best FF game in years .
I have not been so hype about a FF games in years .
 
So will we find out any more information from Squeenix at their event thing later? Or is it all behind closed doors, embargoed info?
 
This trailer was so damn exciting but I am still worried.
A part of me worries that is basically going to be the Uncharted formula with magic and swords instead of guns.

I don't mind the game going in that direction, but I just hope there is enough good extra content and detail this time.

Cautiously optimistic!

Yes. The event is for press and SE will divulge a bit on the FF titles they revealed at E3 thus far. This means, LRFFXIII, FFXIV, and FFXV. Don't expect THAT much from FFXV. My guess is that they'll give some real standard stuff about the game such as why it took so long and what the vision is and dev progress. I expect a chunk of content at TGS with possibly the return of another closed theater.
