New for me

I really like the new design. She has this nice, subtle royal dignity in that shot.
 
So I'm guessing Lunar's pendant is a memento of some sort? Not exactly much to go by. Did Stella wear a moon+star pendant in old trailers?

When are SE Products selling them?

Looks good. Hope the game stays looking this nice. :O

Blonde guy looks better now. Stella or Luna or whatever seems to look younger each time they show her.

And I hope there will be more characters joining the party!
 
Prompto's face looks better than the previous trailer, while his hair becomes even more outrageous.

If that's Stella, then she looks much better. The original is still the best, though.

Where is Cor? Don't tell me he dies...

I miss the circling weapons and crystal particle effects..

Hopefully they are still in the game at later stage.

Yeah I knew something was missing. This was it.

The cycling weapons is another part of Noctis's ability in addition to warp. I doubt they will remove it. Really can't wait to find out how they fight the gigantic adamantoise, probably need a summon or shit.

It's gonna be Dagger all over again.
I need a secret identity? Well I have this... Moon pendant!
Genius!
Moon does hide the stars behind it.
 
Luna/stella's pendant has a moon as well as a star.So that's not really an indication.

Yeah, I wouldn't make assumptions about minor details like earrings. Every time we see the characters their outfits seem to be different, for all we know they may change what they wear as the story develops. It would certainly fit in with the realism of the game's world design, characters not wearing the same clothes forever.

Hopefully we can change outfits. The closest indicator we have to this is in the 2011 trailer where you play as Noctis in a suit.

I think at this point, it's almost a given that there will be alternative costumes, some available in-game at any time, some only based on certain event and some from DLC. Especially DLC.

Nomura wasn't lying when he said the game would be like a road trip. Since the party is literally going on a road trip.

Game looks pretty though.

I am leaning towards Luna being an alias or a name Noctis informally calls her with.

Just speculation obviously.

Also yeah her hair seems tied up in the scene in the trailer.So yeah appearances will likely change with multiple outfits.

No that doesn't look like QTE to me. It actually looks like a legit game mechanics in which your character moves/reacts much slower physically at near death status. This means playing smart/defensive to avoid reaching critical state is important.

That makes a lot more sense. All the trailers so far haven't really shown how combat plays out so curious to see how they are going to implement all these factors into the gameplay.

anyways, after watching the trailer multiple times this is how I feel about the TGS trailer

-the graphics are absolutely amazing. Honestly it exceeded my expectation and at my first viewing I couldn't tell if some scenes were in-game or CGI (like the scene Noctis waking up and Stell/Luna scene)

-the music is amazing, as expected from Shimomura

-the battle I am not 100% sure at the moment. it feels really different from previous trailer(2011,2013). It is a lot slower, and movement seems to have a bit more weight to them. The slowness could be them slowing down the battle just for the trailer (they have done that previously). I don't like the over-the-top action of Noctis moving on top of party members and stuff.

-I am hoping the demo has some replaybility with the battle system. FFXIII demo that was in FFVIIACC was disappointing very limited in terms of the battle. Since this game is more action based+free roaming+adjustments being made for better demo experience gives me some hope.

Yikes I didn't expect that. Agree with those saying Luna isn't Stella, I see similarities but they look different enough to me, but with the Stella, Luna and Noctis names and their connections it's clear these 3 will be well connected. Good to see another female character too.

Dodging attacks looked interesting if a little clumsy at times, a little unsure what I think of the other dodges though, some of this looks like it's becoming really scripted at times. I am pretty sure that Prompto's Japanese VA is the same guy that did Bren in EX Troopers, quite a wacky voice but can do the serious stuff really well too, I thought he was superb in that game. Will be very interested to see if the English casting can get anywhere near the level of the Japanese one from what we've seen so far, was already planning on getting both versions anyway before but this nails it.

Also more awesomeness from Yoko <3

I'm super excited for this game.

And I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XIII on PS3 as well. It's pretty great 1.5 hours into it so far. :)

Guys the two girls are one and the same.

It would be ridiculous for them to be different people.

Even Namine and Kairi actually look different in the KH games.

Here is a WebM of arguably the best moment from the trailer.

More incoming.

So scripted it hurts to know that we'll never be playing that.

TBH all the battle gameplay in every trailer looks totally scripted.

"-Yo guys, how do we make this scripted sequence look like actual gameplay?
-Just throw in some health bars and HUD!"

If they had added some "hit numbers" over the leg of the mammoth I'd have laughed so hard....
