Return of the King!
I'm still wondering if Hooded guy is still the main villain.. My theory was always that the crystal turns idola young but heh who knows.

Return of the King!

What is SE doing..?
It looks like minimal care/interest went for the VR game, that's for sure.

Tabata stated yesterday that this is just something they did quickly and don't even know if it's going to be DLC or a separate product.. Seems like a down the road kinda thing. In its current form FFXV VR just takes battle segments from the game that's what I got from the interview with Geoff, it's some sort of duckhunt just randomly shooting.

He uses nickname L_Spiro at GameFAQs and has posted some development stuff before. He's a Luminous engine programmer IIRC.

EDIT: looks like they're not working at SE anymore after Uncovered, but I doubt debunking fake information (if it is) would go against NDA.

Good catch - like the idea of gearing up for the final showdown in Insomnia.

I like the idea as well, this scene in the trailer gave me goosebumps.
Watched the trailer again and...it's fine! I really wanted more new stuff but the juxtaposition of the music and what I was expecting threw me off. A lot of good scenes in there but I would have like to see some more story stuff, summons, Job Class bosses, and new populated town locations. Still we got speeding pass an exploding train, airship controls, Ardyn, and leviathan trying to eat Noct and Prompto.

Agreed, would be nice to see more from farther into the game to instill more confidence in its development state. I actually liked the weirdness of the trailer though, starting with Noct's fall and ending with creepy Ardyn.
Maybe if Tabata shows some nice looking gameplay at his ATR later today it will calm some of the furor (and if we get confirmation that the "leak" isn't the real deal).
R&D in VR.

Probably the worst and most unfitting music ever seen in a videogame trailer.
Nah that Chancellor dude is the main villan 100%. There trying to make a new Kefka at least that's what I think.

Holy shit I agree with Perfo word for word. Someone shoot me to see if I'm alive.
That said, the content of this trailer isn't that bad.

Anyone have a link to the trailer they showed on the ATR? Seems like it had more footage than the e3 one.

It was the same trailer in the link

I'm losing my damn mind, lol. Thanks
Did anyone see that Star Destroyer in the trailer? When Noctis teleported into one of the enemy airships there was a Star Destroyer in the background. Any guess what those three enemies were that glowed that the party was fighting in the darkness? reminds me of the sisters from FFV/FFX summon.

Still the illusion of what it was was better than this. This game lacks direction, i don't know what the fuck it is now.
And lol at the music selection when you have a damn Yoko Shimomura OST for your game, this is shit.

You've got nostalgia goggles on.
These trailers were horrible then and they're horrible now.
They're all show and have very little gameplay. No surprise that FF13 ended up being a tunnel.
They literally released the game without having shown a shred of in world gameplay.
At least XV has that going for it and has been very transparent. Those awful 13 trailers you showed were the least transparent trailers ever, and only caused frustration for me due to their emphasis on the animu looking story. I could smell shit a mile away, and when the JP version released it was obvious that Final Fantasy was fucking done and now irrelevant (at least for that era).
FFXV e3 2016 trailer is light years above this dog shit you posted and you should feel ashamed that you think those trailers are better. All they show is a bunch of cgi clips and battle system clips. Usually with the same crappy battle theme song. By the time that game came out I already hated its battle theme.
FF13 always looked like shit to me due to its trailers and the game itself was no different than its trailers: a bunch incomprehensible "story" sections with terminology that makes no sense and good battles.
But miss me at "these are better than what SE has released today". They are far worse and as bad as XV's gameplay stuff recently has been, I don't smell absolute shit from them like I did with XIII's.
I dare you to watch the Stand By Me trailer and the E3 2016 FFXV trailer and compare to the XIII trailer drek you posted. Actual gameplay. Actual world. Actual things to do. It's night and fucking day. You're bonkers.
For context, this game had been in development hell for years. Behind doors trailers. Zero gameplay shown besides battles. I paid 80-90 dollars for the demo, and it was a literal walk from point A to point B. But there was hope the final game would be more open. But the more of the game we saw, it was clear there wasn't because they weren't showing it. If SE had it to show they would have shown it. Because SE is generally proud of the worlds they create. So when the game came out in Japan and it was a cooridor running battle fest, I for one wasn't shocked. FFXV's footage has been much better. I didn't play Duscae because after FFXIII my days of paying that company to beta test their shit is a life time away, but it looks far better than XIII in every category except battles.
It was a warning.

You know how in some jp game trailers like in MGS trailers and they show something quirky? Often with some humor? It reminds me of that. Except, well, there's nothing really quirky about it. Tabata and his team probably think it's legitimately entertaining and that we should be amazed by what we saw.

Possibilities:
1. To highlight the scale of the play space
2. To highlight that shit ain't easy for Noct
3. To grab the viewer's attention right off the bat in an unusual way
4. just random bullshit that someone thought was funny
I have no idea -- but somehow it felt like it worked w/ the weird feel of the rest of the trailer.
It's not even a real product with any release date plans. They just did it for R&D and experimentation.

I guess, but they showed it at Sony's conference. The bad press is on them. It feels like S-E can't resist spreading itself too thin and deviating from what should be its core focus.
But it was tailored for the the game
Especially for a series well known for god-tier music.
I thought the track worked well in the first few seconds before it went all WUB WUB WUB though. And that chocobo theme mix was good.

Square is trying to make XV happen. They are expanding this lore
Now we have A Kings tale : FFXV
That will be a prequel

(I think the article refers to Titan as a Golem)
Worrying. Also, they are still demoing on PC? Shouldn't they be demoing on the actual console now or is this standard procedure?

Maybe work on the technical problems BEFORE making crap that nobody wants like that?
Edit: I do realize this is just something they're experimenting with, but they did present this in Sony's conference as part of the main game, meaning that the bad press is on them.

You have one of the best composers in the industry and you decide to go with wub wub shit?
Is like having Ennio Morricone in your movie and you decide to go with David Guetta for the trailer.
The marketing behind this game has been so tryhard that hurts.

Yeah lol I'm watching it right now and they're fucking marketing another game. Not the actual ffxv that comes out in September.
And the managers are just so casual and I honestly feel are unprofessional at this ATR.

Seems like another hook to boost Day 1 sales numbers for the game that's independent of the game itself.
Most games actually show the game to do that instead of showing mobile games, CGI movies, anime, bundled prequel beat-em-ups, etc.
No shortage of distracting window dressing here.
