This would also be something I'm interested in. I don't count on a response from SE though so I will probably cave in and get the asian version.

Release date please. It's about time.

Yeah, unless they just excised a fuckload from Duscae, I doubt there's much else to even say about the area.
I'd wager we get a big, bombastic story-heavy trailer with a lot of new areas and gameplay, and maybe a release date (or a release quarter, at least).
lo not happening.
Oh we will probably still be in Duscae, the region we had in the demo was only about 10% of the region.
My guess it will focus on Lestallum and other towns and areas in Duscae outside of the demo area. Plus maybe Accordo.

Good news.
Personally, I want to see the city you escape from.
And some new stuff as well.
Actually, I believe the whole 'escape from Insomnia' part has been excised. It was part of the Versus XIII story, and was in the E3 2013 footage was was since confirmed to be a prototype build, but the story has apparently since changed, with the invasion now happening while Noctis and the guys are on their trip, so Noctis is forced to hear about his home being taken while not being able to do anything about it. I might be wrong but I'm sure I read about this in interviews.
Of course we'll almost certainly go to Insomnia - it's even on the map they revealed - but it might be later in the game.
I don't know if he's said anything recently but a long time ago he said there'd be a KH PS4 game (but NOT KH3) in 2014. Clearly that hasn't panned out.
Guys, I really wouldn't put any hope in either of those things for XB1. That's the discussion we've been having in the ms skipping tgs thread. Those are Japanese games, they're not likely at all to bother with ports to the XB1.

It's part of a FFXV trailer.
I doubt KH PS4 collection and FFXII HD will be announced here. The KH collection will probably be at D23 in August or October for an early 2016 release, FFXII HD will probably be announced at TGS with an early to mid 2016 release. New announcements will probably be any Eidos games, F2P mobile/PC games or stuff like FFXV PC.

Which trailer?

Character switching hasn't been featured in a single XV trailer

That was part of a Versus XIII trailer actually. Different games =p

Wait, whoever responded to that picture talking about the "Escape from Insomnia" thing must be getting mixed up. The picture he quoted isn't Insomnia.
I know, I mean if the 360 didn't get the HD collections why would the One get them.

The gameplay E3 2013 reveal trailer, with the final 20 seconds of quick cuts showing gameplay from Gladiolus and over the shoulder Prompto footage.

I don't think that was character switching, and I think this will actually still be part of the game.

Those just look like early combination attacks

The camera work at the Prompto scene where he takes cover behind the wall really makes it look like he's being charcter controlled. Still pretty sure that was just the AI though.
Edit: Yup. Noctis's UI is always there. There rest are more clearly just the AI doing their thing with the camera focused on them.

That wasn't AI it was pre-rendered.

Hmm, I forgot that combo atracks do switch perspective sometime. But you also have to keep in mind this was a full year before Tabata admitted to cutting character switching, so maybe those cuts were a work around before they decided it was too much trouble.
Anyway, I'm not equating character switching and complete story re-write. Just saying that I wouldn't put much stock in 'it appeared in an earlier trailer, so it probably won't change'

I think that was just AI or combination attacks with some fancy camerawork. In one of the cuts, for example, Gladiolus looks like he's being player-controlled until Noctis runs by and softs target an enemy far behind him.
Time for announcement of FFXV on PC
SE knows full well they can get people to double dip at a high price later down the line.
GTA5 is a great example of this.
That's not Insomnia.

Yea, you guys are probably right. The more I look at it, the more it seems like theyre just playing out animations, and using camera tricks

If they do me like GTAV then it would be announced at the same time, just released later.
So pretty much a 2 year wait?
Nah, that had to do with next gen ports of GTA5. I assume it's gonna be a year or less.

SE has done simultaneous PC releases before, but never with their Japanese games (that I can recall, anyway).
I'd be surprised if FFXV doesn't come to PC, but I would be more surprised if it came to PC immediately. I feel certain they'll focus on getting the game out to the public on the existing announced platforms first.

You think this is pre-rendered?
Now that I put it in gif form, that does look pretty dang good
not pre-rendered though

Yeah, I might be getting mixed up - I remember, Insomnia is designed more like a modern Japanese city. That open Venice-like city on that water, do we know its name? The guy posted the image along with 'the city you escape from', which I believe IS or was Insomnia, so I got confused.

IIRC Lot of the scenes in E3 2013 were target renders, not actual gameplay. Not 100% sure about it though.
I'd be fine if they announced it 6 months later rofl, don't even need a release.

The original guy who made that claim in the first place got the locations mixed up completely. The whole part with this
isn't part of anything FFVXIII, and isn't the escape from Inomniac thing he mentioned. Tabata never said he cut story stuff from early XV trailers.
Kagari said all the 2013 trailers were target renders.
