Wow.. Vice city in a ff game. Awesome.
After rewatching the trailer, that still looked like a pre-set road, it had less grass and you could see where it starts and where it ends.

Was it just me or did they mention that they'll have a Nurse Joy sort of NPC once? I could have beem dreaming since it sounds absurd.
I think this woman is just a mechanic that will appear at various gas stations or car repair/upgrade shops. Like a Chocolina.

The town might still be within Duscae region, given that this game is massive.
If this new stuff is also part of the demo and the demo is less than 10% of the final game......how gigantic is this game gonna be?
Apparently SE has a thing for presenting characters without even explaining who they are (Black-Haired girl, whoever the hell Luna is and now sexy googles girl lol)

Of course there will be some physical obstacles that prevent you from driving anywhere & everywhere, but I don't understand how you can NOT see that off-road is clearly allowed in the game. There are several points in the trailer where they aren't on any kind of road or even any kind of set path.
No, only once. And that has a gravelly, paved out road.
I highly doubt that we can summon the car on grass.

I distinctly remember the car driving over grass fields in the TGS trailer.

the whole time i kept thinking it's NINJA TURTLES in human form lol
but damn previous final fantasy voice acting : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLBGbUGryRE <---some god tier level shit they need to go back to that
After rewatching all of the car driving footage I'm pretty convinced that the car is only drivable on pre-set roads, the only off-road shot I found is at the end of the TGS trailer when Noctis says that "not much longer" line, and I'd be surprised if that was part of the game.

Thirteen flew over the cuckoo's nest
This doesn't make any sense.
Also, do we have any idea who are the voice actors behind the english trailer?
I'll say. It was so spot on, not just for Final Fantasy but for a game in general. Both the VA and the actual localization.
I dunno man, FFX combat is in all honesty boring as shit past one game of it (Granted I played it to death so that's half of why probably). But a game that revisits pure turn based and throws in twists sorta how Bravely Default has its own adaptations and extensions of NES Final Fantasy would be pretty sweet.
Watch again, there's grass, but it's still a paved path. It's not like the all-grass terrain we saw in the walkthrough video.
FF12 dub is god-tier.

I think they mentioned that you could drive the car off the road in one of the interviews, no?
This still counts as off-road, technically.
There's no road in that section. Just sand.

Offroad instance #1 (that's not a road or path of any kind if you watch the whole segment in the trailer)
Offroad instance #2 (driving on a cliff, even if you argue that is some kind of path, you'd very likely have to drive offroad to get to a place like that)
Offroad Instance #3 (stopping by a pond that is clearly nowhere near a road or a set path based on what we see in other gameplay clips)
Offroad Instance #4 (not a road or path of any kind, clearly driving through a grassy, slightly more barren desert-y offroad area, though the terrain does seem to set certain limitations to that particular zone)
Offroad Instance #5 (they are in the middle of somehat long grass area, probably not a road or any preset paths to get there)
It's not like KH anymore
What about here:
I'd be very surprised if this was a part of the game, I think it was only a message like the one in the E3 2013 trailer, anyway this is a cutscene and not gameplay footage, so it still doesn't count when the only other off-road footage we have has a clear pre-set path.

Getting a Costa Del Sol vibe from that city xD
The obvious "this isn't KH lol" aside, I actually feel the complete opposite. The more realistic the visuals, the harder it is for suspension of disbelief to justify turn based combat. Not to say it can't work, but we're talking on relative terms here.
There's doesn't really seem to be anything janky about the gameplay. If anything, this seems to be the closest Square Enix has gotten to DMC like lightning-fast character action games (not that I expect quite as much depth/challenge from FFXV, they do want to still keep FFXV as a mainstream game like all past FFs)
Well this is one of the silliest things I've read of the combat system so far. Does Devil May Cry's action-y combat make mockery of those games' realistic character models?
I doubt the demo would let you explore a city considering the length they are said they are going for with the demo.

And that city is from the demo? If not, guess the new trailer will be for the full game.

Why? I don't think that Square has ever specified that Cid has to be male. He obviously always has been, but that's not a requirement as far as I know. Nothing is really a requirement although he often has some mechanic background.
Eh? If anything, it's more like KH than before. It still looks like a more weighty, realistic Kingdom Hearts and even more so now that they party members are just AI controlled.
I thought his trope was more of supplying the party with an airship, rather than being a mechanic per-se.
Yeah, that's what it is.
It could be from the larger Duscae region and not the small portion of Duscae region that the demo will have, but it also could be somewhere completely else.

Yeah, you may be right, and I hope you're cause that would make a small portion of the game even more interesting.
The only thing that could fuck up Final Fantasy more than the hallway simulator that was FFXIII is turning the franchise into a character action game.
Only if you're stuck in the past and have some inane reasons for opposing change.
There's no rule to FF, as much as people like to claim there is.

In the scan, it says that Noctis's last name is Chieramu in kana. What twisted pronunciation of Caelum is that?

the time of classical turn based RPGs are over.
You have to adapt to the time and generation

Dammn i used the wrong words.
Again: The time of turn based Big Budget RPGs on Consoles are over.
But there are alternatives for everyone

Well, you are in luck then, because FFXV is a RPG.
After playing kh2 fm these past few days to me the FFXV footage looks quite different. Also those reasons you posted are enough for me to say it's is own thing. I highly doubt FFXV party member system will be as lacking as KH.
Sure, there are some key differences and I'm not saying it's a carbon copy of KH's combat, but I think their "common ancestry" still shows. It's more evident in moments like in the tech demo where Noctis is zero-shifting in and out of the Behemoths reach and performing some aerial combos. It won't play exactly like any KH, but I would still describe it as a slightly more realistic (in some ways, less in others) and weighty Kingdom Hearts, from what we've seen. You could basically take someone like Terra from Birth By Sleep, give him some of Noctis' moves and it wouldn't seem too out of place for KH action.
I think several playable characters switchable with a press of a button was one of the biggest things separating FFXV from KH and now that it's gone FFXV is a bit closer to KHs.
Lost Odyssey got raked over hot coals 7 years ago by the critics for having "archaic turn based gameplay".
Regardless of how FF15 plays, i don't think SE wants to go back to classic FF 'stand around while you input commands and watch it play out' these days.

Just saw the scan. Man, I just love how unique the mix of settings is in this game. You would NEVER see this in any other RPG series besides FF, especially not from western studios which seem to be stuck in Tolkien fantasy for decades now. This is why I'm still a huge FF fan. It has its flaws (bad writing, melo-drama like in the XIII saga, etc.) and it's clear that I'm not the main target group anymore, but I just appreciate so much how they are always changing and reinventing the series while still retaining the core.
Anybody who defines FF by its battle system clearly hasn't understood the essence of the series. Those are just technicalities. Square would have already implemented faster, action-based systems if the consoles had more power back then. They intended FFIX to have the fastest battles in the series originally, but the PS1 couldn't handle their vision. LR was only one little step away from being full action.
If the creators themselves never have been opposed to the thought of having action-based battle systems, who are you to tell them what their series is defined by?
Sakaguchi himself said that the essence of Final Fantasy is constant change and walking along paths that no one has been on before (see the great Famitsu interview with Kitase a fews days ago!).
