Idk if they've actually redesigned Stella. Square has a history of making their characters look very different in prerendered scenes from the game models. Best example is is FFX. Characters look very japanese in the prerendered scenes while the look more noumura-like in game.

Yeah, that's why I was considering this and the CG render from the E3 2013 trailer the same design but comes off a little younger, to me it looks like she's even got her hair tied up in this trailer making it seem shorter in the back then it is, so it's probably just as long as in the CG render, plus the front hairstyle still looks like the CG render.

If you look at the top sides it looks tied and bunched up:

Going back over the trailer and noticing all those old school touches(Golbins, Garulas, what looks like an Adamantoise, the prelude theme, etc.) really just brings a smile to my face. It's like Square for once new what buttons to press to make fans excited again.

The music was awesome. The trailer was...not awesome. It was actually boring. "Gameplay" looked boring. Driving around in some luxury car in the world just looks so stupid.

I've never really been hyped for XV and this did nothing to help my opinion of it much.

Holy crap... So many things upsetting about that trailer...


And all of them are because I think it looks freaking AMAZING and I am TERRIFIED that with all this build up and how great this game looks, it could disappoint.

Anyone know where i can listen to the music in the second part of the trailer? They had released the one from the previous one (Omnis Lacrima) so i figured maybe this was available too.

That's gorgeous looking.

The fights looked a little bit.. slow? Laboured maybe?

Gameplay is my biggest worry here, really hope they nail it though.

Nomura no longer being the director might be huge for its quality.

So I KNOW I must have missed something SOMEWHERE: If Nomura is not directing, who is, and when did that change?

Or I've forgotten that I knew and need my memory refreshed due to the MGS and FFXV trailers frying my brain one after the other...

For people that keep bringing it up, go back and play older Final Fantasy games.

The inconsistencies have long been part of FF world design staple.

No joke. The first FF was a medieval world with lost technology and a flying castle inhabited by robots. Hell, even games like FFVII were worlds where cyberpunk cities existed in a world where a feudal Japanese Wutai, picturesque alpine fairy tale-looking villages(Nibelheim, Kalm), futuristic fun park(Gold Saucer) and small farms where people raise and ride Chocobos. It's a world where airplanes, airships, trains, cars and trucks are all common modes of transportation, and dragons, evil jokers riding decks of cards and beastriders wielding croquette mallets roam the countryside. FFVIII, where fashion dipped from everywhere from modern(Rinoa) to cowboy(Irvine) to 1920s inspired(Edea), and towns/cities of great futuristic sheen(Esthar) and quaint 19th century Western style(Winhill), and schools could fly!

There is NO inconsistency, there is only Final Fantasy!

Sorry pal, Goblins and Garulas aren't "old school" and have been in almost every Final Fantasy game.

Something I noticed. Noctis' home city might not be called Lucis anymore.

Looks like the name of the city-state is actually Insomnia.

It was pretty elaborate. Decca, additional mono center, two midway-omnis, two overheads, two far outriggers, and THEN the spot mics.



Not the best angle to check out where the mics were, unfortunately. Sorry.

Well damn. Gotta have some space for all that.

Not to mention the world... One moment you're in a Renacentist Palace, the next you're in what seems to be a modern city, an suddenly you step into some kind of construction site... The setting is really weird with all that mix. Everything looks inconsistent and random. I believe it's the first time that someting like this happens with FF.

This is starting to get silly.

Have you people ACTUALLY played a Final Fantasy title before? Listen to yourself. Complaining about a mix of styles and art design inconsistencies...in a Final Fantasy?

Tell me about how much the transition from Midgar to Kalm turned you off.

Finally someone said it.

People sure are overreacting to this.

I didn't like FFXV from the beginning due to the character design. It's by far the laziest in any FF to the date. 4 dudes all dressed in black, I've seen them in at least 3 trailers and I still can't say who's everyone. They are so generic.

And the main character, here we go, another emo/tough dude mix. Just like Cloud or Squall, but without their charm, since his design is terrible. Those pants... and the fact he's using a full arsenal instead of some iconic weapon like the Buster Sword or the Gunblade (or whatever it was called in english).

But I'm no fool, the gameplay and the visuals are looking better with every new trailer they show. I played XIII, XIII-2 and XIII-3, so I'm totally playing this. But I wish the design wasn't so damn stupid. A little colour in my characters and a consistent world is all I want, Square.

I'll be optimistic with this one and think it'll be a good game until proven otherwise. But really, it's a step back from FFXIII in a lot of things.

I don't disagree, but if you forget for a second that this is supposed to be a FF, it's pretty impressive.

Well, the "plan" is at least Japan by the end of 2015. I kind of expected them to announce that today. But maybe they don't want to commit to anything yet... cause, well you know. About Nomura leaving... well, let's just say that history tends to repeat itself more than some realize.

Hopefully they stick to the plan.

I have to admit, I think XV is going to suck and think this is ridiculous as well.

I mean, tons of Final Fantasy games have a mix of different settings. Pretty much all of them do!

As a guy who had horrible expectations for this and none of the footage impressed me, this looked really damn cool. Not only does it look incredible visually but I like the scale of everything and how the combat looks. Nice juxtaposition of modern and monsters too

What I'm really hopeful about is that they keep the story simplistic. No overly convoluted shit but rather a strong focus on the core cast.

GUYS the trailer is for the demo, not the whole game. the demo focuses on the early part of the game so that's why the trailer didn't really show much except the same road-trip parts.

Ok watching the trailer again (That damned music eeeek) it just hits all of the right notes. Reminds me a lot of VIII's style but much improved. Also anyone saying the graphics look worse than they did at E3 needs their eyes checked...... this looks a complete generation beyond the last trailer they showed and almost looks like a completely different engine. The combat looks very solid and seems to have a very good collision model as there are times in the trailer where enemies react to being hit in areas during what appears to be actual combat.

QFT. It looks so good compared to the rereveal trailer that I'm almost afraid there'll be downgrades when they iron out the frame rate.

I'll agree that the character designs are generic. But if you think this is the first time there have been inconsistent and wacky world design choices, you have clearly never played a Final Fantasy game. Almost every single game has had inconsistent settings.

Called that shit.
They should really try for a worldwide release, but I know better than that, so I won't get my hopes up.

I'm sure the story will just be: prince running away with best buds to go see a girl in the middle of the war, probably conflicts about the war throughout the adventures.

And possibly a twist of one of the friends being a mole from the other country to keep tabs on the prince.
