Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

@APZonerunner I guess what it boils down to is semantics at the end of the day.

"DAWN 2.0" Trailer

 

[yeah_93]

Will watch after the debate. How is it?

 

[Rezon]

People whining over Luna being a "weak" female character can finally shut up.
Not that you should judge such things by pre-release trailers.

Well, she didn't really do much of anything, but she looks cool. Looking forward to learn more about her at the ATR.

I love to see noctis and luna in this both being beauitful!!.

I guess she didn't, just kinda annoys me how much people are over analyzing her character, when all we had was her sitting in a chair.

Her character now seems to imply regrets about that incident 15 years ago, and that she wont be afraid of the soldiers anymore.

Now i think this may explain how Altissia and Leviathan scene began.

"DAWN 2.0" Trailer

Ok. Now I liked this teaser.

 

[Jenova]

Seems the same as last time to me. Don't see much difference. Just a few new clips mixed in with mostly reused footage from the last Dawn trailer.

Luna looks like a villaness in this image. Wonder if that's intentional or not.

Concur. Pouting while pushing a gun out of the way doesn't scream strong personality, but it was a bit badass, admittedly.

What's more cool is the artwork of her reaching for the Trident. Now THAT is intriguing. Want to see her in action wielding that sucker.

 

[Lulcielid]

I need to point out that we finally know what Hime-chan wears.

Still no name though.

 

[ScienceNonfiction]

Oh, a new(-ish) trailer. Cool.

"Fifteen years ago...

...development began"

 

[yeah_93]

Trailer was... nothing exciting to be honest. There's still no context, so I can't draw conclusions. So much for extended, when it was far shorter. Well, there was less crying, so can't complain.

Music is still great.

 

[LeonBlade]

Her name is Hime-chan, please be excited.

BLACK HAIRED GIRL!!!?
Is she Luna's advisor? The same way Ignis is to Noctis?

I get the same vibe from her with FFX Lulu. Black dress, black hair. But the difference lies in the weapon. Lulu have plushy dolls, but Hime-chan wields a spear-trident combo. Which reminds me, there was a female dragoon in the FFVersusXIII trailer. Could that possibly be her?

 

[Lulcielid]

A bit off topic but i really hope Cross Links get an overhaul, not a fan of its execution thus far and i think it was mistake to implement it in the 2.0 update in that kind of state.

I have been wondering if this is a Cross Link move.

Man, that trailer was rather boring...(And the extended version, is somehow shorter.)
These recent showcases for XV have been questionable. I understand that they are trying to keep some story elements under wraps, but they can definitely do a better job than this. Waiting till March of next year just to get a wholesome showcase of the game also seems really unnecessary.

At the very least, ask Nomura to edit a proper trailer for us to absorb.

 

[NemesisSP]

Honestly, I actually think this trailer helped by making Luna actually do something and giving us a better idea of what she is like. She has been frequently criticized and we've been told she's strong willed, but it was never clear. Here, though, I can see that determination with her and the soldier. And while I think we wouldn't care if they had just called her Stella, I think it goes a long way in giving her a better impression and give more interest for her character.

At least, that's how I feel. No matter how the game turns out, we can't turn back time and get Versus XIII and Stella back. But I personally am looking forward to seeing more of Luna now. So the trailer achieved something.

I have been wondering, where does people get that Nomura/Tabata are the ones in charge of editing the trailers ? I mean does the trailer say "edited by [insert name]", like Kojima does ?
