I remember him saying that combat looked really confusing and would give headaches to people not playing. But it would make a lot of sense and the speed and chaos was comfortable when you were in control. Or something to that extent.

For all we know, he could've. Though most of the so-called "Nomura FFs" have had other artists pulling the "monster designer" duties. The only ones Nomura had a really heavy role in designing for were FFV-FFVIII.
Not the same tusks, though. Those type of curled tusks were introduced with Nomura's FFVII Adamantoise. The one in FFXV has a sort've pronged back to the tusk that is seen with Amano's FFII Adamantoise design, yet the general face looks different altogether. And I think the horn is more stylized beak than a horn. That particular piece of art is a depiction of FFXIII's Adamantoise, stylized, but FFXIII's didn't have rhino horns, nor pronged tusks. Also, in general, the head of FFXV's(the way it's generally shaped and it's features are laid out) is like nothing seen in ANY other FF Adamantoise so far. I'd say the closest WOULD be the FFXI variant, but even then, it's still rather unique in itself.
This particular scene of that trailer actually shows another old school FF monster(in classic design). This is the one with the Garchimaceras. These:
That was the first hint I got that Nomura was going to include "classic" FF monsters.

Actually it kind of make sense based on their 1st CGI trailer. What an EPIC trailer it was! I will try to find that to download!

Man the gameplay in vsxiii looks way better and more like KH.

I agree. I liked the more slowed down approach. Although what we saw in this last trailer was from an early part of the game, where the characters are still not powered up.

The speed of combat in the second half of this gif looks fine for early-game. I will be disappointed things don't become at least as interesting as last year's gameplay teaser looked by the later half of the game, though.

My idea: they should have stamina bar so we will have more tactical options in combat. Using Haste makes stamina recover faster and using Slow/Stop makes us have advantages in combat.

The current combat speed looks great but a bit faster wouldn't hurt, hopefully they just slowed it down for trailer purposes but I doubt that's the case... Another scenario would be that this noctis is lower level since it takes place at the beginning of the game, if I remember correctly e3-2013 reveal trailer noctis was OP and had moves that are unlocked later on hence the missing spiral crystal swords.
Edit also missing is the MP bars, maybe they still tweaking the HUD plus we all know ex arts magic and summons are going to be there.
I that it was going to be magic limited like in KH.

Nah, it seems to be early-game indeed. There they're fighting only normal soldies and are not using any special ability. Final Fantasy main series have never disappointed in combat and skills (neither Kingdom Hearts), I'm sure that we will have much more movemets and magics to use later on, making things more interesting. But the combat animations are pretty good already! =o
yup slowed down approach allows for reactionary combat as opposed to just mashing and stringing as many kills together as possible.(not my favorite)
Really like the parries in the in the game too!

That's a perfectly fine speed, imo, at least for early game like you said. Any faster and it might be hard to control. Perhaps there will be advancements to his abilities as you level up.

The brand is damaged, but there's no alternatives in the marketplace for a "Final Fantasy" type of experience.
FF still remain the singular identity for games of its kind. When people think of AAA JRPGs with a global identity, it's still FF, for better or worse.
.
And a brand can recover with a great game. It needs to be really damn great though.

Anything faster might be hard to control? wut. They're way faster combat oriented games than that and you can control them just fine. I'm also quite sure it will end up being at least KH speed
I want to use that gif for drive-by posts but I suspect everyone interprets it differently.

The AI also ignored him in the back standing, so that needs some tweaking.

Google car taking pictures for Google Maps was driving down the street. There is a passage of time as the car goes down the street obviously. One photo is near the crest of the curb and the woman on the sidewalk is walking. But what was perhaps seconds later when the second picture was taken, she tripped lol
No way, it looked too button mashy.
you can see that they slowed down the teleportation.
no, it looks like the whole sequence was sped up in the first image
Well, insulting is a great way to get a point across but all this shows is that there remains a very strong demand for people to see and have this product despite the epic development period. As someone just mentioned, LR's trailer had 100k viewers in the same time frame. You can see people really want this game.

The main reason the combat seems slower in the trailer is mainly due to Noctis mainly using the large broadsword. When he uses his regular 1H sword, the speed looks fine to me. Not to mention many of the times the person controlling Noctis is just wandering around, not actually doing anything. This gives it the slow illusion.

Clearly they aimed the game for new generations who prefer action RPG more than turn based RPG.
The brand may be damaged but FF is still a big name and if SE market them well like FFXIII, it will sell easily
you can see that they slowed down the teleportation.
The gameplay here either looks modified, is a target render, or there is some mechanic that's not immediately obvious because in most other cases when Noctis uses the teleport move, his 4-notch bar below HP goes down a notch.
I remember ordering FF Versus XIII on Amazon, and then they cancelled it. Jerks. Weirdly enough, they never cancelled The Last Guardian.
Both games are doing incredibly well on Amazon. I'm surprised Typo-0 is #25 on best sellers considering it's coming out in March.
I didn't expect the X1 versions to be so low though.
Typo-0: #2,445
FFXV: #5,356
Yeah, I know where the fanbase is and the hardware difference in the region, but I expected the X1 versions to at least be within the #500-1,000 ranges.
I'll probably wait and get the LE if/when it's announced.

I believe they said a good amount of that trailer was just target renders. You can tell when its not ingame because the hud just looks photoshopped in.

well, if you called it like that. But it's just my dumb idea, playing Souls and MonsHun really makes me play smart, not mashing button.

Honestly... I think that this FFXV wont disappoint.
And thats coming from someone who bought a PS3 for this came and never had it, and its actually very disappointed with Square Enix bt quite a long time. But I can't deny that by the look of that trailer the game seems indeed damn good, and still holds on my interest!

Since people are talking about the gameplay, they may want to read up on the gameplay analysis thread from the E313 trailers - www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=585421
Ahh some of the stuff last year was target render but I hope they can do those weapon effects.
You should do a new one or update that one with this new video.
it reminds me of how the XIII bar worked, gradually filling p and actions depletd it. unless you mean you could use up the bar and one it's empty, you'd have to wait till it's filled again
either way, it seems similar

And I hope, really, that they let us explore all that landscape! Please SE, no invisible walls or unreachable places! T-T
since you post this gif. I wonder if they have a proper day/night and weather system or it's based on game progress.
