Looks like the first FF game to be worth a drat since 7. I'm sorta pumped.

Actually 9, 10, 10-2, 14 (if you like that sort of thing) and Lightning Returns are all worth a drat, also a bunch of spin offs since 7 came out 20 years ago.

Not really, goon sir, not really.






haha, that japanese trailer is weirdly edited. The entire first third is the standard emotional japanese jibberjabber with clenched fists and "ITS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY DAD!!" followed by boilerplate latin chanting



the last part of the trailer isn't half bad, except for the chocobo warbling of Florence's voice

I'm a real rear end in a top hat about English voice acting so I hope the quality of the first demo isn't too indicative of the final product

Specifically everyone except Noctis sounded like a cartoon pro wrestling version of themselves. I know it's a ridiculous anime game, and that their characters are an exaggerated one note for a good reason, but you gotta tone that poo poo down in English man unless you want to be one of these dubs where the girls are making these implausibly high pitched high energy voices like they're trying to match the Japanese counterpart as opposed to translating it for a different culture

Honestly, the japanese voice acting seems pretty bad itself; over the top arguments and melodrama. I'm actually cool with pro wrestler stereotype voices

Which video was the one with the flying car, anyway? I didn't catch that bit when I watched them earlier. I don't have access to a PS4 to play the demo right now.


The japanese Uncovered trailer with english subtitles. It's not as good as the english Reclaim Your Throne trailer, but it shows more general docile world stuff.

I don't think there's been this much hype for an FF game since the magazine newsfeed days prior to FFVII or FFVIII, back when they shipped out demos on discs.

Back when videogame trailers in movie theaters weren't a "thing that is done"

Back when the competition was Tekken, Goldeneye, and Super Puzzle Fighter.

I don't think it's quite like that, I remember being hyped for FFX and FF13. I just think that it's been so long that it's felt like forever that there's been a huge push for a new big thing, as opposed to just normally pushing a whatever-sequel.

You may have been hyped, but I'm talking in a general sense. FFX is where they started to go down the rabbit hole of eastern-spirituality-meets-anime crossover, a trend that reached its pinnacle in various pseudo-sequels. The only entry that really deviated from this is XII, probably the most fringe of all mainline FF titles.

I would say this is the first mainline FF in 15 years that doesn't seem a bit alienating to a general audience in the west, even down to the decision to use a 60's soul ballad as its theme song/marketing campaign, not to mention mid-century automobile iconography and highway sentimentality.

Oh, I'm not talking about me personally being hyped, which I guess was a slight miswording in the original post. I just meant that SE was clearly hyping up stuff for those other games that had general audiences hype (which they certainly did, even if you seem to apparently not agree with that notion). It sounded like you said that SE hadn't done a marketing hype campaign at all since VII, as opposed to just saying "this campaign has ACTUALLY been hype which they haven't been since [insert FF game]" which I guess is more what you meant?

Yeah, that's kind of what I meant. I know they spent a lot of money advertising FFXIII, but it just didn't seem like people took the lure in western game markets. It felt like the series abandoned a huge part of its audience during the PS2/PS3 gen, partially because of developing difficulties, and also because the thematic developments of the series got pretty lame.



Like, I guess XIII was supposed to be a return to form...but the whole FFXIII Fabula Nova 'Platform' felt like a cash-in, not to mention the MMOs.

Lead-up to this game reminds me of the wait for FFVII. Mega hype back then, advertising, delays, people picking apart screenshots, dev interviews, combing over demos

From what the gameinformer report was, FF15 has a very set path if you just want to beeline the story. You really have to get out of your way to get into the open fields once you get the car going.

This excites me mainly because (J)RPGs pretty much lost me as they became more and more diffuse, Witcher included.

Hey wait, wait wait wait. Where's the Final Fantasy Main Theme in FFXV? I could have sworn it was ALWAYS in the title screen of every game, but what I heard in what little we saw of it that was not the main theme.

If you listen carefully they actually mixed the FF theme into XV's version of Stand By Me @ 1:08 & 2:22

My faulty brain can't discern this distinction, so no one's can!

Arena mode in Guardian Heroes was only playable because the framerate would drop from 60 to 15 during big spells, thus allowing you to see what the hell was going on.

As it was a part of the only game on this earth that actually matters I deem unstable framerates to be natural and good.
