It's actually happening.

The music was sublime. Who's composing?

I'm floored, it's absolutely gorgeous and i LOVE the more adult character models, setting and theme. The all new footage makes me feel like maybe it's not TOO far away (Early 2016?)...so yeah, hype.

A few questions:

Is magic (excluding teleportation) gone?
S-E is going to fix the car model right? The texture looks so off.
Why do their giant swords disappear after they use them?

 

[Shaanyboi]

I'm still skeptical. The development of this thing has seemed like such a fucking insane clusterfuck. Cool trailer though.

 

[TheGameChanger]

2015?

Spoiler

Please

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Looks good...but not E3 2013 good.

Also the game is crying for a better AA.

Other than that....yeah, looks interesting, basically a road movie JRPG.

 

[brandonh83]

WHOA IS THAT IT'S MOUTH?

WE ARE -IN- ITS -MOUTH-

Did they get Roland Emmerich to help write?

 

[Yeul]

YOKO SHIMOMURA!

The queen!!! ;-;

 

[friskykillface]

can we use the car in battles? like ram enemies, really random but i like the car haha

 

[kasane]

I still stand by my statement that this is nomuras love letter to final fantasy 7 and the fans and they are also targeting the fujoshis

 

[AuthenticM]

I don't know what y'all were smoking in that other thread, but Stella looks gorgeous.

 

[djplaeskool]

I am 100% ready for Road Trip: The RPG.

Sounds about right.

Country gets invaded while the Crown prince and his entourage are on vacation.
Invading nation puts out the hit on the family.
Prince and co get the heck out of town and have to make a perilous journey.

At least, that's how I've put things together so far.
Still al ot of questions, but damn, I'm actually legit hyped.

Is magic (excluding teleportation) gone?
S-E is going to fix the car model right? The texture looks so off.
Why do their giant swords disappear after they use them?

-Only one nation has magic, because they have the last known crystal.
(If you recall last year's trailer, there was that Mexican standoff where one side had guns, and the other side manifested swords from thin air.)
-Game is still not likely to release for another year. AA implementation can wait.

 

[vpance]

Prerendered, right?

Game looks pretty damn good, and those animations!

That was some nasty LOD on those grass plains.

 

[EatinOlives]

It's actually happening.

The music was sublime. Who's composing?

None other than Yoko fucking Shimomura

 

[DaSorcerer7]

God I can't believe I'm making this post, but I thought that trailer was fucking terrible. A bunch of emo dudes riding around in a fucking car is not exactly what I want out of Final Fantasy.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Trailer was fucking glorious. Everything I've wanted out of a Final Fantasy.

 

[SniperHunter]

btw, all these assets were in the PS3 version (the desert and the forest), it looks so much better with the now though!

but them jaggies on the car, reminds me of driveclub alpha

 

[KillGore]

I hope every other FF game evolves into this type of gameplay. It's very kingdom heart-ish.

 

[prwxv3]

Garulas...

Nice FFV nod! Same exact design too!


At first I didn't know what they were, but pausing the video when one walked near, they are old school FF Goblins(and I mean OLD SCHOOL):

Someone make me an avatar.

You need a new tag about the Nomura news.

This really is a modern take on a classic FF world.

Cool. Hope we see more underused monsters in the game. Seeing them with the modern +futuristic setting would be neat.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Can't help but to see Naruto and Sasuke

Noctis has the exact same hairstyle as Sasuke. Even has that eye color change thing too. And the archetypes seem to be calm and collected guy fighting alongside loud mischievous guy, the similarities are hard to miss.

 

[KarmaCow]

I don't know what y'all were smoking in that other thread, but Stella looks gorgeous.

Still prefer the original Stella though.

 

[vinnygambini]

2015?

Spoiler

Please

Spoiler

Japan

 

[LiK]

Alright, who changed the thread title? Lol

 

[RPGCrazied]

yoko shimomura

Awesome, she did the Kingdom Hearts games right?

 

[Astral Dog]

OH MY GOD THIS EXISTS

 

[Tagg9]

Someone make me an avatar.

I think Square Enix included that clip of Stella just for you.

 

[Portugeezer]

Life once again has meaning.

 

[ED Cantu]

So, is Stella now Luna? at least that seems to be the case, she even has a moon (luna) necklace now, if it's true then I wonder why the change.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I don't get the Xenoblade comparisons

Gameplay has looked like this before the first Xenoblade even came out

 

[Shadow780]

I don't know what y'all were smoking in that other thread, but Stella looks gorgeous.

Oh...did they changed her again?

I thought this is XV's Serah.

[rataven]

Lightning who? It finally feels like XIII is a distant memory. So happy to be excited for Final Fantasy again, and to see everyone else excited too. Yay!

 

[Defuser]

Is it just me or the combat looks slower than usual from what we seen from the previous trailers?

 

[BocoDragon]

10 years ago if you had told me there'd be a mainline FF where you drive a modern-looking car around the worldmap I would have had a tantrum... but this looks SWEET.

You never played Final Fantasy VIII, then?

 

[Orochinagis]

Open world real time RPG game battle, shiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeet

[brandonh83]

My sentiments exactly.

I guess we're alone. Oh well. This does not have the charm or soul of what I expect out of the series. At all. A bunch of dudes riding around in a car repeating the equivalent of a Michael Bay summer blockbuster dialogue? What am I missing?

 

[Mr. RHC]

Twitter is going wild!!!

 

[RPGCrazied]

I don't get the Xenoblade comparisons

Well, its got that big open world thing going on like XCX has.

 

[Valkyri von Thanatos]

Huh. Xenoblade: Tokyo Drift?

 

[Cloud Strife]

Full version of the promo art:

YES!

 

[J-Skee]

Surprisingly calm trailer. I like it.

[Boke1879]

The Knights on the highway alongside the Dinosaurs has me all sorts of confused. They just don't belong there.

Security checkpoint maybe?

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Oh my god that was actual gameplay. There is a real game. Fucking hell every single scene looked incredible. And those self aware bastards with the it's been a long time coming, almost there shit.

Please tell me they didn't replace Stella with that Luna stranger.

 

[illmatic22]

Someone make me an avatar.

Guys, it's happening.

 

[Liquid-San]

Impressive. I haven't touched a FF game since 9.

FFXII is my favorite game, but you definitely stopped at the right game.

 

[BlueTsunami]

The Final Fantasy theme at the end. THE FEELS. Tingles all over. This series is hard wired to my nostalgia, can't help but be excited now.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Well, its got that big open world thing going on like XCX has.

You mean the big open world thing this game always had before it was even called XV?

If anything, it's the other way around
