lol, I didn't know that. I guess I should've played XIV in Japanese, never saw the Japanese writing for Midgardsormr.
Nah. I'm the guy who's always wanted FF to be set in Detroit. This game gets us one step closer.

Though, this is not even the first Final Fantasy to have cell phones or gasoline-powered cars.
Regardless, I'm pretty certain it's been explained that they start in the most technologically-advanced nation and things get progressively fantastical the further the move away.

Thought this trailer was out of the norm and while didn't go into specifics, I think I finally understand the mood they are trying to convey.
I am honestly interested. I've always felt that Versus looked way more interesting than 13, but that was because 13 always looked like beautiful but distilled jellybean punk le creme fan servicio. Versus had that squalls-first-linkin-park-album thing going on from FF8.
But this trailer actually showed something more. Lets hope this game doesn't have an indentity crisis.
Also I just want to say, I wish Matsuno had worked on this game. I think it is a shame that he is not involved.

I'll have to look more into it. FFX was the only FF I ever played and I guess I'm trying to "chase that high" again. But a modern setting that evolves into a more extravagant fantasy setting seems intriguing.
I haven't followed the development at all, my bad.
Regis Ou!!
That is one dapper looking badass king.

So good.... *sob* The best part was the GTA-ish gameplay cuts in the second half.
Ah, screw it, I'm getting a PS4K if it makes this game look better.
(I imagined **DANGER** signs lighting up in the four dudes' heads when the flamboyant purple haired guy offered his help)

Man the trailers make this game seem so sweet, but then I play the demo's and I lose all hype honestly. Hopefully they can do something for the gameplay and performance before launch.

IMO, it would be great if they just save them for when we get to play the game itself! But yeah, can't wait to see all the amazing summons in this game.

i like that cover quite a bit. kinda doesn't work with this trailer though, but man this game looks so good.
loving the road trip/hangout theme they have going for it too. makes sense why they picked 'stand by me' for the theme.
finally a release date.

That was very impressive. This along with U4, is the best looking game I have seen. Fly car is great. Watching the event after it aired, and skipping to the good bits, I think it delivered. This is the best stuff on the game since it was revealed all those years ago.

The Summons are just pure insanity. Titan looks amazing in every way.

The car-turned-airship is amazing. It was right in front of us the whole time!

Dunno what some of you are talking about, they totally killed it with the song choice, and the cover itself is great. Starts playing, lots of Noct by himself... Then the crystal theme starts playing behind it, which is just brilliant. And then his friends are there, standing by him.
Perfect emotional set up for the characters.
This game is gonna ruin me. I'm already 100% sure one of the bros is gonna bite it. And I'm already attached to the characters thanks to Brotherhood. It's gonna be Prompto. He's taking pictures to record their adventures together, he's the silly, happy-go-lucky type... Fuuuck I'm not ready for that.
Also can't wait for the inevitable scene with Cid. "Hey guys, I fixed your car. Oh, and I made it into a fucking plane too."

Definitely amazing original music.
Also not a fan of the cover but I'm not into that song to begin with.
I was wandering in the rain~

Dammit man. This game is all about good vibes.
Thank you RHC!

Man. That cover is amazing and what a great choice of song! The English VO trailer is definitely the better cut of the two but both have juicy bits! I love how well the song evokes the "bro trip" vibe this game is going for. It all just clicked once it started playing for the first time during the event! I've officially gone from "excited" to "can't wait"!

I have to disagree in the shotgun design aesthetic. Their work in that regard has been fantastic, even in the much hated Final Fantasy XIII.
That song though.. Why isn't there a photoshopped Stand By Me poster yet.
You have big flashy JRPG nonsense with summons, chocobos, flashy natural environments
You have a cast of Japanese pop stars
You have rural Americana
You have renaissance Italian architecture
You have cyberpunk armies
It's like... half of these don't work with anything else. It's all over the place.

Jesus Christ that looks good. Flying car and everything! After playing the demo I had no doubt this was gonna be the grand return of FF, but these trailers look goddamn amazing man. This year is freaking amazing for rpg's.
I think it works a charm personally.
The point is that good visual design can make disparate elements feel atleast cohesive with one-another. That two elements can be part of the same world. I don't see that here. The same way I wouldn't put the aliens from District 9 next to Christopher Reeves as Superman. Square has done this alot for over the last decade or so, and it's no better here than it was then. Actually, the fact that this is all being so realistically rendered makes it more jarring.

Look good by I can't stand the stand by me cover... Bad, BAD fit.
