Square Enix needed another opportunity to show off WITCH CHAPTER 0 [cry].

 

[UberTag]

My reactions to this trailer...

"Fifteen years ago..." Final Fantasy Versus XIII was unveiled.
Oh wait, that was only 9 years ago? This must be an actual story plot point.

<watches 30 seconds of back story>

Man, Noctis' father really loves his son. Let's watch them hug for 90 seconds.

And it's over.

 

[orochi91]

was that king regis? looks like some dude straight outta the order

anyways I guess we should be happy we didn't see "now in development", in some world "and so the story begins" is better than that

It didn't even look like King Regis.

I thought it was the driver from the earlier trailers shown at E3 2013 lol

 

[Redx508]

don't forget to pre order

 

[Reveirg]

Exactly the kind of stuff I wanted to see.

We already saw a lot of gameplay, I didn't want too much spoilers, and I wanted to get "the feels" back after the more grounded stuff we saw lately.

Awesome. And the music is brilliant as usual.

 

[ED Cantu]

In one word "meh"

+ good music
+ little more of Luna it seems and summons or gods or whatever that were in the sky
- all that time of Regis just holding Noctis
- No release date/window/year

 

[Pappasman]

I don't think Noctis' dad could have used a more cliche line. wow.

 

[Geg]

This was literally the whole trailer.

Haha I was thinking the same thing.

Back to the depths of squid hell for me I guess

 

[Hexa]

That girl getting choked and beat in the beginning.

Luna it looks like.
That part was a lot more emotional for me than the part with Noctis. She looks so scared.

 

[Mr.Sumal]

lmao gaf's reaction are always the best

 

[brandonh83]

Well that was fucking pointless. Let's make a 3+ minute trailer and half of it is hugging.

 

[Supert5]

1/10 would not masturbate again

 

[Redhood]

So Reigis design is changed?

Also add Luna being a week helpless girl! Was she being beaten by her father?

Luna & Noctis being shown as kids at same point of time.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

You guys were really expecting a release date? Gamescom is like the last place they'd release that. TGS probably.

 

[fastmower]

Whoever convinced me to stay up for this 2 minutes of awkward hugging, you suck.

I'm with you.

 

[qualitydisc]

New key art

The man doesn't really look like King Regis, or at least not the King Regis we've seen before.

 

[Bennettt2]

the little girl's hair at the beginning was real-time?

 

[Natheren]

Well that certainly wasn't worth the wait. I do hope they plan to show more later and by more not the demo stuff we've seen for months.

 

[Amikami]

Aww jeez. That was not worth a countdown.

 

[edotlee]

Bring back Nomura to make the trailers, ffs.

 

[dickroach]

boy, you guys sure do know how to hype something.
I'm a huge fan of classic FF games; that's the first trailer for this game I've watched... and I don't know what the hell I just watched. this game's about sad kids?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I'M GOING IN TO HIDING.

I AM ASHAMED.

This was interesting at least.

 

[orochi91]

Luna it looks like.
That part was a lot more emotional for me than the part with Noctis. She looks so scared.

For real, I wanted to see the next 2 minutes of that scene, not some dude crying over his son.

 

[Snakebee]

They managed to fit both physical and sexual child abuse in this trailer. That was just awkward to watch.

 

[hateradio]

Nep. Disappointing.

 

[Chilikar]

Oh this is quite interesting. From the FFXV website: "Prince Noctis, heir to the Lucian throne, sets forth from his homeland to formalize the union of states through his marriage to the Lady Lunafreya of the imperial province of Tenebrae."

Wonder if this is something Tabata's crew added to the story or if Nomura intended Stella to marry Noctis.

 

[vinnygambini]

wtf was this shit

 

[CountBlack]

absolutely nothing


good stuff Square

 

[HerroRygar]

I have nobody to blame but myself.

 

[Mortemis]

This was literally the whole trailer.

holy shit, I'm dying. They really released a condensed trailer as a teaser. lmfao

 

[benzy]

I'M GOING IN TO HIDING.

I AM ASHAMED.

Lmao.

STORY
In a matter of days, the Kingdom of Lucis is to sign an armistice, ending a long and bitter conflict with Niflheim. Ahead of the ceremony, Prince Noctis, heir to the Lucian throne, sets forth from his homeland to formalize the union of states through his marriage to the Lady Lunafreya of the imperial province of Tenebrae.

The offer of peace, however, is no more than a ruse to lower the Lucian shield, and the imperial army takes the crown city and its sacred crystal in one fell swoop. En route to his destination, Noctis is shocked to learn that he, his father the king, and his betrothed are believed dead.

Overnight, the dream of peace has faded into a distant memory. His world crumbling around him, Noctis has naught but his resolve and his loyal companions to see him through the trials to come.

from official site

 

[BasedKiliK]

Huh. I feel kind indifferent about it.

What I do want to know though, it was the hell are these?

 

[Mashin Haters]

fucking square...

 

[GringoSuave89]

They managed to fit both physical and sexual child abuse in this trailer. That was just awkward to watch.

yeah, no ide what that scene was but, but I'm not a fan.

 

[Caffeine]

that was pretty much the preview just extended lol

 

[Redx508]

lmao gaf's reaction are always the best

yep i am dying here

 

[Morning Star]

Did they change Regis' face?

 

[orochi91]

The man doesn't really look like King Regis, or at least not the King Regis we've seen before.

Maybe that's Noctis's real dad, whereas the King Regis we've seen so far is his adopted father?

 

[mookie]

I stayed up way past my 33 year old's bed time for that?

 

[Geg]

sexual child abuse

???

 

[Enthus]

I was up anyway, so I'm not disappointed. I liked the music and visuals, even though nothing happened.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I'm not even sure if I should even spend the time to write about this in my blog when I wake up. That shit was whack!

 

[Mcdohl]

Baby Luna looks like Sia.

 

[Oni3298]

Although the trailer wasn't anything special, is it just me or does the game look a lot better graphically?

 

[LukasF]

praise the sun tho

 

[McDougles]

More information regarding the trailer will be unveiled in the upcoming Active Time Report, scheduled for August 5, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) / 12:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

They'll be hosting something on Twitch.

I mean, sure, it gets the job done and raises new questions but, it seems that we all agree in that we wanted to see gameplay.

Anyway, can't wait to know more about what really happened to Noctis's father.
