It's already 3:30 PM in Cologne and even later in Japan. If there's going to be a trailer/demo today it needs to come real quick. If I were you guys I would take that rumor with a massive grain of salt, though. There's not much to verify it, and it would be weirdly late in the show for SE to make such a debut. Regardless, I hope it's true.

They might release the trailer at 00:00 AM JP (17:00 at Cologne)? The 52 minutes video was released at 22:00 at JP, which by japanese standard is pretty "late" hour, they might release it that late now.

Hopefully it's true and they release something (whether a trailer or that other thing), but I kinda doubt it, considering they haven't even mentioned it afaik (Tabata mentioned the 30 (well, 52) gameplay video, but nothing else).

BTW, is there a place to find good impressions of the gamesbooth, as well as off-screen videos? I've seen about a couple, but I'm very interested in seeing more, specifically Chapter 0 (as in, move the camera to see Noctis' new design upon closer inspection (the CG has a different suit and slighty different facial features than the in-game version), as well as the rest of the guys'; also, a closer look of that Satan-esque figure and how fucked up the whole area is).

I really want footage of someone mixing and using some darn thunder magic already. It's available in that demo I'm pretty sure.

Oh, yeah! With all the new things we've seen, I've kinda forgotten about the magic system. I don't think it'll be incredibly varied, but it looks very interesting and original.

We haven't seen much thunder magic yet. Wonder how many combinations are and if there's more depth to the magic spells themselves (as in, a better tier of Fire, for example).

They definitely have and have shown fira and firaga! Were you aware of the ability to mix your magic spells with additional effects as well? Sounds like it might be something you'll like!

I could easily see the trailer being moved to a future event in the wake of the delay. I figured that's why they were waiting for the big trailer this long in the first place. They want it to hype up the last 6 weeks or so before release, not the last 100 days. By then, the hype could well run cold.

Yeah. I have little doubt that they would have released a trailer or something would the delay not exist. Although, MAYBE they wouldn't have released no less than 52 minutes of gameplay for people to play. Or maybe they would, these things aren't a last minute thought. I don't know.

Haha, yep! That's why I think it's quite original: adding, for example, healing properties for you (or your party, I don't know) to Fire is definitively something I didn't expect this game would have. I wonder the amount of items (and their variety), but it looks pretty promising.

And yeah, now that you mention it, I remember having seen different tiers of Fire, but I wasn't sure if that was something that had survived. The 2014 TGS demo's Fire spell was fucking huge.

And we still don't know what ring magic can do beyond the Wall thing (I think, haven't watched KG) and what that "?" refers to. I'm actually pretty surprised in regards to the amount of weapons, abilities, combos, attires, accesories... I expected the game to be much scarcer in that regard. Hell, I didn't expect that weapons would affect the basic character stats, or that the alt costumes (which btw, it seems there's going to be more of them in the game than I had originally anticipated) could improve those stats as well.

Ah, firaga (if that was firaga at TGS) is a lot different now. It's basically just a big version of the normal fire spell you're familiar with. You can actually see it in the 50 minute video they released, when Noctis and co are attempting to enter Insomnia. The fire spell cast on the big group of magitek soldiers is firaga. Not very creative but stunning nonetheless.

Oh, didn't realize that. To be honest, I haven't really paid attention to magic before, so I guess that's why. I'll check it out when I can (downloaded the uncomprensed video and, even if it's still dissapointing graphic-wise, it looks significantly better than the Youtube version; especially, if it's watched in an HD TV).

BTW, it's always weird to me referring to the fire magic as Firaga and stuff. I'm so used to Piro (although I actually prefer the English and Japanese terminology in how they rank the tiers; here it'd be Piro++, which is pretty lazy even if I prefer the base names (Piro, Electro, Hielo)).

We haven't really see mixing two elements together yet, its mainly just been an element+an item. I hope someone either tests that, or they release a trailer about that soon.
It doesn't seem to be a big deal. The result as I understand it (I forget if I read this in a preview or saw this in a video) is that the dominant element determines the spell (if you mix 30 fire and 29 thunder you get a fire spell) and the supplementary element determines and additional effect (mixing thunder with a dominant fire element produces multicast fire). Mixing in other elements has a similar effect to mixing in items, in other words. I don't think there will be combo elements.

This is interesting:
Q:"What do you think about leaks? "
A:"we won't stop people talking or gossiping but we haven't seen any leaks that have got everything right"
https://twitter.com/FFXVEN/status/766351963378315264
That IS interesting. And I hope it's true.

Actually, I feel fairly confident that it is, especially considering the only one that's been verified to be right about anything spoke about being fed incorrect information (proving he's not a dev himself). So, it reads to me like he and the original leaker both got the same bits of could or could not be true info and they posted their own interpretations of it.

Actually it's funny. I juror number 8'd the leaks because I felt like I was cheated and spoiled, but now that they're "confirmed" I'm more confident than ever before that I haven't seen anything yet. I have no doubt that a fact or two out there is totally correct, but I can't be sure of any of it. And that's how I like it.
