dont get me wrong, but that music was all WRONG

 

[Nova]

I liked the trailer. Sue me.

 

[DrBretto]

I liked it. And I thought the music fit fine. Loved that shot of Ardyn. I really get a feelin about this dude. I really do.

Ardyn is carrying the Kefka flag with him, I can smell it.

 

[Omegataco]

Music didn't bother me at all,​

 

[Death Penalty]

Yeesh. Extremely weak E3 showing so far, and that's even having deeply enjoyed the Kingsglaive and XV trailers revealed. How can they show so little so close to the actual release date? Saving stuff for after Kingsglaive? TGS? Hm.

 

[RetroPS4]

Ardyn, Hooded man, Insomnia, those are the reasons I'm still interested in this game. It looks like the real proper story trailer wont be for a couple days. SE is really spreading out the content. Kingsglaive looks pretty good. still dont like the incongruity between it and (the game and brotherhood) I definitely liked that they finally showed suit noct IN INSOMNIA though, that was the hypest moment for me..and Ardyn in the throne room.

I am concerned about how some of the gameplay (Titan Demo) looked rather sketchy though, reminded me of when they showed the Malboro, lol

They have like 3 more days with FFXV information planned right? And we've only seen snippets of the the actual floor demo, and not the full thing.

Just curious, what makes you think they have a proper story trailer they didn't want to show on stage or in the E3 ATR?

See above, I doubt the information will be very major. I also think the floor demo isn't extensive enough to make up for what we aren't seeing, we get the gist of what's available and it's about as restrictive as the Platinum Demo.

 

[Rezon]

They are dropping the ball hard with marketing right now, the fact the XV was a low point at the Sony conference makes me sad.
That VR trailer was jolly fun tho.

Yes. You're pickin' up what I'm puttin down.

Tomorrow.

 

[Death Penalty]

Tomorrow.

Hopefully they've got something major up their sleeves! I've got my fingers crossed for the E3 kickoff but I won't be surprised if it's nothing better than what we've gotten so far. It's weird not to show your good stuff on the Sony stage or in the ATR...

Matt Kishimoto comments in the ATR, he intimated that they are gonna give us different footage/new media for each of these E3 presentations. He said it quite clearly.

They're showing the whole Titan fight, so you'll at least get some context.

New media is way different from proper story trailer.

I really don't want to watch that day 0 ATR again, but he said that on wed, the first half will be the E3 (Titan) demo, and the second half would be exploring the Final Fantasy XV universe. And he said that would be new stuff (always new stuff) was how he phrased it. Yeah, I might be extrapolating , but saying the Universe..That to me means the background and lore. So, maybe I'm reaching and it will just be another concept art show, I think they will show something though, beyond that *shrug*

Here's hoping, genuinely. I went over those potential "spoilers" and man if any of that is even slightly true it's pretty grim.

 

[Prince Naphtali]

Accidentally ran into the supposed spoiler, maybe they should take another 3yrs to work on this game.

Uh, you mean the GAF thread? It seems like people are a bit split over that. I did not read the majority of that in case they are real, but something about that whole post doesn't feel right. Would they really end the E3 trailer showing Insomnia like they do if the leak is true...I don't think so. Especially with how guarded Tabata has been with the story. They wouldn't even confirm the Hooded man until last week! And we havn't properly seen him since 2013, we have never seen Gentiana, and we have seen like 2.5scenes of Luna. no, I think I call BS on that. Also, apparently that poster has made many differnet profiles on 4-chan just to trash on FFXV
ehh...It kind of seems similar to that story about the supposed witcher 3 dev who said that project was such a mess, and destined for failure, we see how that ended up!

Edit: OMG that is a brief tease of Noct and crew vs Levi in altissia as well, how did I miss that? Major 2013 vibes from that part.
