Maybe Luna is pulling a FFX-2 LeBlanc/Yuna and is disguising herself as Stella haha.

Final Fantasy XV TGS 2014 Trailer | Lord Nomura giveth us His only Son so we may live
- Thread starter Kagari
- Start date
Not sure if intentional, but it sounds an awful lot like Noctis...ugh.
I wouldn't expect a shitton of new information. I feel Type-0 HD will get most of the extended attention and for FFXV they'll probably go over largely the same stuff they did at TGS, maybe elaborate a bit more on the combat system and show 1-2 minutes more of it, but anything above that is probably wishful thinking. I'm thinking Jump Festa will be a more story-centered trailer maybe highlighting possible changes done to the story by Tabata (because there was hardly any story in the TGS trailer) while showing a bit more of what we can expect from the demo.

They said that they "will provide more insight into what was shown at TGS" with the extended demos. So I think we might get at least a few nuggets of new info.
From what I know, most of the story, characters and world laid out by Nomura and Nojima is intact.

Ugh. So far away lol! But, I agree about the lack of story from the TGS trailer :< . I'd like to know what happened to Cor, and who the rest of the cast are. At least give me that, Tabata! I hope the Jump Festa trailer will be a big one!

Yeah, but they won't be as nice as the ones Nomura used to direct. Nomura made awesome trailers. Hopefully, Tabata took a few notes when he was working with Nomura about how to make awesome trailers. I bet either at Jump Festa time or sometime at the beginning of the year we will get a trailer with English VO. So prepare for that!
Cor is basically to Noctis' father what Gladiolus is to Noctis (he's one of the heads of the royal guard, Gladiolus is meant to protect the prince), so his place is still at the side of his king in at the time of the TGS trailer, if the radio chatter is to be believed (the presumed invasion has yet to take place). In the E3 2013 trailer it almost seems like he might not join your party until before, during or after the Leviathan attack. Maybe Noctis heads off to get back the crystal without wasting any time while Cor is still busy trying to fend off the invasion and Cor won't catch up to Noctis & friends until later.
And I wouldn't expect them to start spilling the beans on most of the cast until much later on. Get used to mostly seeing Noctis and friends, Luna, Cor and maybe glimpses of a few other characters who are in from early on (Noctis' father, 1-2 of the smaller villains, king of Nilfheim?). They don't usually do too in-depth character blow-outs until much closer to release (so a year from now at earliest, probably). The time between now and March 2015 is probably mostly about the demo with a little revealed of the current condition of the early parts of the story. E3 2015 could be when they start pushing out info about stuff other than the demo and very early parts of the game.
I hope so! Always good to see more XV in general. Something outside of just the battle system would be nice and maybe answering some fan questions.
Yeah, I don't think it's changed much either.
Did Nomura make the Type-0 trailers?

I'm getting up bright and early to see people talk about what's being said in the stream. Well I'm getting up at the time the stream starts anyway, so I not really going out of my way for it, but I still want to check out what's being said/shown. I don't want to wait for the english version of the stream. Just 36 more hours if I'm not mistaken.
Btw this stream is primarily for Type-0 right? And there's only a chance XV could be discussed/shown more?

No. Nomura was the Creative Producer & Character Designer on Type-0. He had creative control over the end product of Type-0. He didn't go out of his way to direct the trailers though.
No. It's an extension of what was shown and said at TGS with additional things. So FFXV will be there. How much more new stuff we will get though, we aren't sure about yet.

Im guessing noctis' father will die at somepoint and cor joins the group , cor knows a secret about his father or something.
If it's of the quality of the Type-0 trailers though then it should be good.

I have liked pretty much all the FFXV trailers up to this point so I don't really see them really screwing it up at this point.

Update: Sorry for the double post, but SEJ just confirmed we'll be seeing more of FFXV in the stream on Thursday. https://twitter.com/FF25TH_JP/status/517154105806966784

The ability to warp in mid air after you jump too!
Pretty sure you can wrap regardless of anything. ;P
Woo. I'm just happy to see more of the game.

Yup. Add in Glide ability and this would have been the greatest game ever made.

how does warp factor into what they said so far about the Battle system so far anyway?
I feel like they kept it because they had to..Probably for story reasons(its one of nocto's innate features) and because it would be far too sacrilegious to just cut it out of the game..if we knew thing for certain about the game over the years, its the warping ability
I feel Tabata's stuck with warping it doesn't make sense in his system.

That's been on my list ever since I saw that you could get this high up in the city.
Even if there's no real content to be found, just let me fly all around up there and I'll be happy.

Yeah, if they hadn't shown off warping, Tabata would probably have cut it off >_>

They could've cut it. The way they're doing it is fine, since it's anchor-based (enemies, marked points on level surfaces).
If they had tried to implement it in the style of say, blinking in Dishonored, they would've had to cut it in all likelihood.
It's a cool feature, you just have to realize the limitations with that sort of thing.

When was warping first shown, btw?
Frankly, I can't remember warping as a mechanic outside the 2013 trailer.

Warping is assigned it's own button along with defend and attack. Warping can get you to close distance on enemies while also getting you out of harms way for other things. It can also help with platforming. I am sure it's a mechanic that will be used for many boss battles. Plus it has the added affect to look badass and flashy.
Nomura literally said that there are some things he can't implement everything because the game tries to strike a balance between realism and the chaotic nature of Kingdom Hearts.
We didn't get any jump commands last year. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Nomura took it out himself when he was the head honcho.
I would temper my expectations a bit with this game since there are a lot of unknowns. People are already quick to point at Tabata, but Nomura might have changed some stuff we aren't aware of.

Agreed. Nomura almost certainly made his fair share of cuts while he was still in charge.
At this point they would be going backward. The last three major FF releases let you jump.

It was shown since the begining. It was in the first trailer as well as the first gameplay trailer. Even behind closed doors it was shown. Warping has always been a mechanic. I know that there will be boss battles and enemies where it will be difficult to fight without it.
Yes, but my point is we absolutely do not know if that's Nomura's doing or not. I'm a huge fan of his but we can't pretend that Nomura invented the greatest thing since sliced bread and that Tabata's killing the game.
We don't know. We might know post-mortem, but we just don't know enough to point fingers now until stated otherwise. I'm beating a dead horse here but people are just putting two-and-two together and associating the bad with Tabata.

With all this extra development time they've had the time to overthink and change things for the worse. I'm probably overreacting, but a FF version of KH with warping, airships, jumping, multiple party members that control differently, etc. would have been godly. I mean, warping and multiple party members are still in, but apparently not jumping and I'm not sure about airships. Combat looks kind of clunky. The block/dodge mechanic seems extremely stupid. I dunno anymore :/
