That cover, mixed with the main ff theme is fucking beautiful. Its perfect for this game! Great choice square enix!

Yeah, that was honestly so good and fit really well. Florence is great.

I loved the trailers and I'm so hypedddd.

 

[Larson Conway]

Wow that was an amazing trailer

Pleasantly, pleasantly surprised by that cover of Stand By Me

 

[Aters]

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.

Replace J-pop stars with Disney characters, cyberpunk armies with clone aliens, and you get FFIX.

The diversity in this game is literally the last thing I'd complain.

Anyone else notice that managed to sneak a new character into the trailer?

Is she one of the temporary party members that Tabata mentioned?

This is a stealth waifu-simulator and you can pick up girls on the road.

 

[Thoraxes]

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.

I made a joke on twitter about Lardass and a pie-eating contest needing to be in this game lol

Spoiler

Those black leather seats remind me of something...

 

[Dragon1893]

OK, I'm finally getting hyped for this game.

 

[Secret Fawful]

I absolutely love Stand By Me as the song choice for the trailers. In fact, it's what got me interested in the game at all. Beautiful cover.

[Sparrowhawk]

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

I agree. Not a bad cover, just very out of place IMO.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

There'd better be a real airship with living quarters, cockpit and everything, not just a flying tin can.

 

[benzy]

 

[kvn]

I find some of the environments and the variety in general really impressing. As this was exactly what I feared would be missing. Really loving so far what has been "uncovered" by this event.

 

[wmlk]

Can we talk about how amazing Tatsuhisa Suzuki's performance for Noctis sounded in this trailer? I don't care if I don't understand it.

Bracing for more "oblivion" in the dub.

 

[tensuke]

 

[sviri]

I don't think that song fit very well. The trailer looks great though and I cannot wait to play.

I noticed that too.

 

[hal9001]

Love the shot at the end.

 

[flattie]

It's clear what they are going for, but using the Stand by Me cover as the main theme really feels forced - especially when tied to the reveal trailers.

Still, everything else looks great. Can't wait to fire up the demo.

 

[DukeLongfellow]

My only hope is that Stand by me didn't replace Somnus completely, or rather, I hope Somnus is still present somewhere in the game and not just in the Duscae demo.

 

[ViciousDS]

I thought stand by me was great and was giving me some pretty good feels for the trailer. I could see why some hate it though.

 

[Joei]

Looks infinitely, or at least 15x, better than FF13.

Love the second half of the trailer.

 

[theSlacker]

Anyone got some moving pictures of the chocobro parts?

 

[oldboss]

What the fuck? No one seems surprised about the release date ? Was it already known? Have I been living in a cave or what ?

As far as the trailer goes : holy shit does it look good. It's incredible. I like everything except the main crew's design. Guess I'll have to get over it !

The release date leaked hours before the event.

Thanks !

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

Looks like they figured out how to fit the Airship in!

 

[BocoDragon]

The release date leaked hours before the event.

And aside from the actual date, we heard it was coming this year. It coming in September seems like a no brainer.

 

[chocoedd]

I suppose Hamauzu's team is on this right? I want 45 minutes last boss music fight.

 

[BocoDragon]

Nope. It's Yoko Shimomura.

Hamauzu seems to have been a XIII series thing.

 

[Renmyra]

Is there a full version of Stand By Me?

 

[High Prophet of Regret]

I loved every single video, the event was amazing and I love Stand By Me <3 installing demo right now!

 

[chocoedd]

Nope. It's Yoko Shimomura.

Too bad . Already spoiled by FF XIII series' excellent soundtracks. But Yoko Shimomura is not bad either.

If that's the main guy I thought he was annoying as shit.

 

[BocoDragon]

I agree. I looove Yoko Shimomura, but Hamauzu was god tier.

I think Hamauzu and friends might have been the best composers in all of FF (and coming from an Uematsu and Sakimoto fanboy, that is saying something.)

 

[Sickboy007]

Can we just force FXAA in or something? Jesus

 

[Mariolee]

That trailer was so good. Can't wait til this comes out. Already putting that Stand by Me cover on repeat.

 

[anderedna]

Okay finally this trailer makes me want to buy this day one. Previous trailer and demo doesn't really interest me but this one sure makes me watch it multiple times.

Is 30th Sept the full game release date or the "Platinum demo" presents in Japanese trailer?

 

[Reedirect]

Amazing trailer, Stand By Me is what sold it for me. I like that it's embracing the road trip dumbness and it doesn't take itself too seriously, which is exactly what this series needs.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Movie trailer was the best one for me. I still think the game is missing the cinematic trailers of the Versus day that really stood out. Perhaps it was Nomura's direction, but I hope we see another one of those: great mix of gameplay, CGI, title cards and music.

 

[galvenize]

Besides the movie trailer, the environment trailer gave me the most feels purely because of the music. Beautiful stuff. Does it have a name btw?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

They still held back a bit on showing all the characters, but with no hooded white robe guy again I fear he may have been cut.

Bring on an even more extensive E3 trailer. I need the truth!

 

[onepiecefan]

Trailers are looking good, also love the look of the car transforming into the airship.

 

[Mifec]

God damn was that shot of the moon cheesy as fuck in sync with the lyrics. Other than that trailer is fine. Props to SE for contracting Florence Welch for it. They never had a more talented artist work on their music.

 

[Luke_Wal]

I find myself more and more interested in the setting of this game with each passing trailer - the fusion of modern technology to the level of smartphones with mages, fantastical creatures, and a man who summon swords of the air is really unique.

I've been floating around an idea in my head of an open world loot driven game set in Manhattan (think a cheerier Division, but with the population of an Assassin's Creed) but instead of having guns and shooting looters, you're a part of an underground society of mages who have to take down the fantasy creatures that are attacking the city, which had previously kind of just been the New York of our world. You call an uber but instead a Pegasus shows up for you, or a griffin stacks the Museum of Natural History. I don't know, these trailers kind of remind me of that.

 

[Philippo]

No way man, he's clearly one of the main villains, of course they won't spill the beans on him (thankfully).

 

[oimori]

I'm here to revive the hype

my faith won't die

 

[Whompa02]

This game is gorgeous.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

So who is the girl in the car with them?

 

[JetSetRadio]

It looks great, still don't like the boysband stuff but I'll be there day 1. It has been so long since FFXII.

 

[pLow7]

My only hope is that Stand by me didn't replace Somnus completely, or rather, I hope Somnus is still present somewhere in the game and not just in the Duscae demo.

Would be fucking stupid to remove the best track of the game

 

[Piers]

The Skell flight theme keeps playing in my head when seeing that.

 

[Mediking]

Please post more gifs!

 

[Namikaze1]

Watched the extended version vid. So freaking hyped for this game. Dat car!
