Things that make you go "Oooh"Prelude arrangement
TABATA'S GLORIOUS VISION

Yea, it's funny actually. If you look at the timeline of trailers, Tabata has been getting progressively better at cutting a trailer. I mean compare the Uncovered trailer with the "Noctis angrily pointing at clouds with bad lipsyncing" trailer. Night and day.
It honestly feels like Tabata is actually JUST NOW starting to learn how to cut trailers. You would think they wouldn't let someone 'learn on the fly' with their biggest fiscal project, but SE has always been very unconventional.
It's part of the reason I still like the company so much.

Heh, just saw the "who directed E3 2013 trailer?" flurry.
Although that's still my top XV trailer, I think TGS 2014 and Uncovered long version are both really good trailers. Also, I like Dawn 2.0, and, music aside, E3 2016 isn't bad at all.
Still, hoping we get an epic release trailer that challenges E3 2013 and starts things off on a good note.

Gonna be kinda hard tbh. E3 2013 rivals maybe top 3 trailers of all time for me

This game is so damn beautiful. The lighting especially is simply jaw-dropping. I've never seen overcast lighting so accurately re-created in a game before. I'll never understand the comments dumping on the visuals.

I'd SOOOO much want this. It's what I had a discussion with my sister about, I miss scenario events like that in the FF games. They seem to be going for a more "trim the fat" type of thing nowadays(at least post-FFX). I miss when you had breathing time to venture off into another direction, and everything wasn't so urgently tied to the main plot. Yeah, there should be situations where you either have to cast Mini or Frog on yourself to enter an area(kinda like FFIII's Owen Tower, Nepto Shrine and Tozas).
I feel similar to those "not-tied-directly-to-the-main-threat" quests where you might enter a town and suddenly, "Oh no! The mine collapsed and children who were playing in there are trapped! We need YOUR help!" type of events. I always loved that type of thing, like you enter a town to see a specific person, and there's a haunted house where said person seemingly ventured off into but never returned, or pirates have captured that person and now you have to make way to their hideout to rescue them. Stuff like that seems to be dying in the FF series.

I agree - I'd settle for something like TGS 2014 or Uncovered.
I hope that we get to hear the E3 2013 music in full during the game. Mainly when it's the Altissia section.

The parts where the horn just blares in reminds me of Godzilla, and it makes sense if that was the inspiration since you're fighting larger than life summons in the game. Leviathan was just a huge monster wreaking havoc.

I really wish the game still looked like this. I wonder what happened where the fidelity took a nosedive like it has.

Amazing music. Hope that most of he soundtrack has that level of quality.

But it still looks like this
As I pointed out to jett sometime ago, this is pretty untrue. We've seen plenty of different kinds of outdoors environments (swamps, coastal regions, deserts, snowy region, forests of different kind & even some more fantastical environments), some different in-doors locations (caves, sewers, what seems like some kind of industrial plant or something), 4 different cities (3 of which are fully explorable, one that sounds like it's more of a story-related, more limited visit), some smaller locales (the tropical beach resort), other locations (enemy bases) and such.
It's starting to get to the point where we've almost seen too much. All I need is a not-too-spoilerific story trailer that gives us a bit better a look at what the story is about & maybe shows more of the moody Versus XIII style stuff that is still in the game instead of focusing too much on the lighter buddies on a road trip aspect.
I was thinking about this part and thinking how awkard it looks.

I've lost count of how many trailers this game has haha... will rely on that launch trailer to hype me up.
E3 2016 trailer is indeed a good trailer if muted. I can't understand why they ruined it with the song choice. It would have been so cool to see the Leviathan fight is still in the game.

Hard to say - I guess lots of people like AfroJack, and SE must feel some portion of those people are a likely but under targeted demographic for XV.
I don't think the music ruined the trailer per se, I'm more neutral on it. But I definitely get that it was incongruous and off-putting for lots of folks.
From what i have seen and actually played so far, it looks like vaseline poo that runs at 20fps with the most idiotic 3rd person camera of all time.
Hopefully the finished game will be better. But then again judging by that e3 2016 demo, it doesnt look like it...

Wow. I cant believe they released that as a screenshot. Look at the animal down, its ears are all glitching.
Well, it took 10 pages for anyone on GAF to notice it. I suspect everyone at the marketing department missed it too.
But damn, that's pretty bad. It wasn't a very good screenshot to begin with, but this just makes it worse.

Guess I'm missing it, what am I supposed to be looking at here? The downed animal's head is cut off the screen to the right, all we can see is its long neck. What we see towards the middle of the screen are its legs.
holy shit I thought it was some sort of broken steel structure or something lol

Ah, clearly a male of the species, as evidenced by his hypertrophic fore-horns. Likely ready to mate, when cut down in the prime of life by Noct and co. :'-(
(and yes, I can see those are the ears O_O)

Not trying to disparage anyone who enjoys the previews and such, but this is totally why we have unrealistic expectations of games. Say what you will about modern graphical prowess, but still shots arent the way to appreciate these feats in design. Along with that, how many times haev we all seen a screenshot thread for FFXV now? The hype just grows and grows and grows and there's no way this game will live up to anyone's expectations. You'll get your Faithful, of course... but don't we know enough about the game (and HAVE known enough?) to just let it incubate and get a release? We shoot ourselves in the foot by covering stuff so much. Although, Square Enix obviously isn't helping by releasing these goodies... Certainly takes two to tango...

If anything, the opposite is true. The more SE shows from the game, the lower people's expectations are becoming (at least here).
I will never forget the car scene. It was simply beautiful.
"Noctis-ouji.... NOCTIS-OUJI!!!"
I still feel the driver was an asshole to wake Noctis up just to let him see those airships..

Hardly. World of final fantasy comes out just weeks after XV, and I Am Setsuna.
The hype is definitely not growing, it's worryingly declining.
Yeah this is true. This game had disappointing showings. Compare the reception to Persona 5 trailers which make the game look better and better with every showing shatterig expectations something FFXV really lacked.
