Woah that's surprising. I thought it was going to be 2D classic FF style.

Hmmm, asthetically looks a bit like FFXII to me...sans any of the charm. Very Lightening Returns feel to the enemies as well.
We'll see, black mage costumes looks OP though!

It's made with Unity, so it should be pretty easy to port to other platforms like Vita or PS4.
Btw, here's a funny video of Sakaguchi getting his Lifetime Achievement Award at GDC:

Yosuke Matsuda said that they wanted to go multiplatforn with more mobile games and bring them to Vita and PS4 as well, so I'm optimistic.

yeah I remember that!
Cool stuff man. It was dumb to separate Mobile and Portables in the first place

That black mage design though.
Looks fun, nice to see that they're trying the FFXIII battle system on something else, hopefully we can juggle enemies as well.
I hope we get a video on the battle system and exploration though.

I'm clueless when it comes to smart phone prowess, but if the Nexus 5 could run it, do you think the HTC One could (also a 2013 phone)?

The dagger and the black mage weapon are from FF XIV.
Like 100% sure.
Otherwise the game looks good.
Um...hard to tell, but the One is less powerful than the Nexus 5. So probably not, or with notably worse performance.
Even if the Nexus 5 was a 2013 phone, it was one of the most powerful ones, so even by today standards is still top tier.

Gash darnit!
Looks interesting, I'll be looking forward to full gameplay videos. When it comes to mobile JRPGs, SE actually tends to do a pretty good job with them.
I wouldn't be surprised if this got ported to Vita eventually.
In fact, that would fall in line with what they have said in the past regarding their vita support.

The M7 might not run it because of a weaker processor, but it has similar ram and resolution so it's not out of the question. The M8 should definitely run it fine.
Please explain

Well, fingers crossed the M7 can.
I approve of the Rogue outfit

Youtube video says its called Mobius not Mevius.
Looks good though, very clean, not sure about portrait mode though.

After watching this trailer I am starting to wonder if Toriyama is directing this
this seems like a mismash of many of my favorite battle systems in FF. While everything shown of ff15 seems like a clunky KH game with some batman style counter system.
Need to get hands on both naturally

Now that you mention it, that dragon looking thing was in LR wasn't it?
Relaxed Muscle

Looks like a mix of LR and FF XIV.
Might be all those reused assets.
Is hard to tell, but looks like it might be a giant corridor game, certainly the portrait mode plus the little exploration footage gives that sensation.

Can't be. If it was then you'd play as Lightning fighting Lightning while dressed in the Lightning job outfit.
Mmm. It would explain why they've yet to reveal the director.

Maybe he's actually Lightning and at the end of the game is revealed that Lightning soul was actually inside of this dude's body for the whole game.

That game is just a bunch of dudes who think that they look cool standing in the middle of the road in the rain like they don't give a fuck.

That's not the gameplay though
Watching the battle footage again, I think I've figured out quite a bit about the interface.
- The number next to the attack icon in the bottom right shows how many normal attacks the player has left in that turn. We know that you can just tap the screen at any time to time the attacks you have, but I'm certain that counter is the number of attacks you have available.
- The element icon next to the enemy HP/Break bars doesn't seem to be the element that you get from attacking the enemy, but rather the enemy's elemental affinity. The elements you draw out from enemies from doing attacks seem somewhat randomized.
- The element icons at the top bar is definitely your element stock, which is then used up to buff your elemental defenses and to trigger spells and ability attacks which are available to your current job.
- The second bar on the enemy indicator is the Break bar, when it is completely drained, the enemy goes into break state. This seems similar to the stagger status in FFXIII.
Would it? If it's Toriyama I don't think they would be hiding it. He's popular in the company and is a known talent they can introduce. If they don't say anything about a director of a game, usually it just means it's not something that has any marketing value. Maybe it's someone new or someone not many people would know about.

I think it's okay if they reskin/retexture a bit (which they did here with the dragon if I'm not wrong). In general this approach of recycling is a neat idea, imo, for mid-budget games. Especially generic animations can be easily reused for similar kind of monsters (use the same for every Behemot in FFs for example). Saves time and money.
Jesus, you could grate cheese on those abs.

A FF with a variation of XIII's battle system looks more fun than something made by fans complaining in a forum?
If this game is as hard as FFXIII or LR, then I wouldn't really disagree with him.
Yeah, it doesn't look like they're trying to hide Toriyama.
Also, who are the names they've said so far? I only remember Kitase.

Ugh... i hated the break Mechanics in 13 but I cant imagine they are being done the same way here

Hmm, quite a few things look similar to Lightning Returns. The basic attacks were just tapping on the screen, but there were some special moves as well, which weren't executed via taps. The top bar adds up orbs when you attack, but not sure how it chains stuff, or how you can control what orbs go there.
Anyway, not expecting much from a mobile game. Wake me up if/when it hits consoles.
EDIT - Looks like duckroll explained some stuff. Cool.

After seeing footage I'd say it's looking good, although not as good as previous bullshots.
Might take a lot of engineering to run on Vita so I'm not sure this will be ported, but I'd rather play a widescreen version on a portable console if I could. Otherwise I'll probably be looking into an iPhone 6S in the future.
