KINGSGLAIVE FINAL FANTASY XV- Official E3 Trailer

I'm sure the action scenes will be tight, but still wary of how interesting the characters/story/plot developments will be. The early screenings for the R&C movie were very well received and got standing ovations afterall...

I don't trust movie preview impressions much anymore after that lol.
I trust Brad.

CGWorld's new issue cover:

Oh fuck.

Is there a version of this floating around without the watermarks?

...for uh... reasons.

I wonder how much DLC will XV or what types of DLC will it have.

I expect the first DLC to be FFVII outfits, then a summer vacation type of DLC with mini games and a gold saucer/serendipity type of facility and maybe two story chapters about Regis or Luna.

And of course bosses from old FFs like Gilgamesh or Ultros. I wish they would do expansion packs like The Witcher 3 and give us new story quests, one new summon, new outfits and some boss battles for $19, though.

I expect outfits and fan-service bosses, and a Golden Saucer area.

It'd be sweet if they went full expansion ala Witcher 3 but I don't know how quick content creation is in their engine compared to CDPRs.

They've already begun DLC planning, so I would think Tabata will get a breather after September.

If sales and reception are solid enough I would also think they will put Tabata to work on a new project. Otherwise, he best prepare to get Toriyama'd. ;)

Even in the worst case scenario I still don't see XV turning out like XIII did.

Maybe we'll get a story DLC by Nomura featuring Stella.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.

You mean underappreciated, with an iconic lead character that got a whole trilogy to herself plus numerous spinoff appearances and is one of gaming's most beloved characters?

Yeah, I don't see Noctis, or XV, being in danger of that fate .

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Dat CGWorld cover looking mighty good.

Hoping that's included in the movie. Film is shaping up to be ace, especially with that shot :p

I don't think Tabata is the right kind of guy to make a Crono game. Gooch or bust.

Somebody has to be making type-1 don't tease me like that and not follow up!

I think type-1 will be incredibly terrible idea. Square needs to make FFXVI or something entirely new instead of a sequel to a not very successful FF spin-off.
 
He get's Sakuguchi to co-direct

Anything's possible. I mean, Sakaguchi's attended the premier and seems to have a good relation with Tabata. It's been years since anybody at Square, let alone the FF team, reached out to Sakaguchi at t his level. I'm wondering, given Sakaguchi's re-interest in starting a new studio and heading back to Japan, maybe he was reinvigorated and inspired by Tabata and what's going on with FFXV. It might be no coincidence the new studio was named "Dawnwalker".
 
Parasite Eve reboot with Kingsglaive art style. DO IT!

These impressions, hot damn.

Katsuhiro Harada (Tekken series):
-Those who are planning to buy FFXV - you have to watch it. Those who aren't planning to buy - you will if you watch the movie. It respects the series' predigree, but damn, what a way to handle the baton to the next generation.

-Thinking that SE made it in-house kind of drives me crazy. How long did it take to render every second of the movie? Hours? Dozens of hours?

-Yeah, the bad guys are an annoying geezer and a weird dude. I bloody hate them now, but considering how well they were depicted, mission accomplished. I've already sworn I'm going to absolutely wreck them in the game.

Other impressions
-Holy s***. Just... holy s***. Final Fantasy at its best and then it shot into Hollywood. Monsters felt outright alien sometimes.

-Tears. Cried a lot. I think the whole theater was crying at the end. There was outright sobbing around the mid-point, too. Wonder if Noctis realizes what a huge burden he's really inherited.

-I won the tickets, but it was much better than expected. Will go to see again.

-A huge work, really. Kind of unexpected in some aspects, but in a good way.

-Amazing! Having to wait until September to play the game makes me depressed now.

-A beautiful movie, though the action scenes were sometimes so fast they were hard to follow (lol). Wish the heroine's VA was a bit more expressive.

-Fantastic, might go to see it in the theater again. Story felt like a part of a really huge tale. Knew nothing about the setting before watching it and still could follow the movie just fine.

-Luna is a seriously bold and audacious heroine. Not the angry screaming type, but very daring. Final verdict: why isn't it September 30 yet!

-The Versus/XV project might have had a troubled history, but Kingsglaive definitely delivered. Really interested in the story now.

-Putting CGI aside (we all knew it'd look great) I was impressed by the pacing and composition. Even the prologue alone felt like a fully realized tale. The story also doesn't get bogged down in exposition and the balance of silence and motion is superb. My only criticism is that considering how rawly realistic and gruesome the story is, it should have been more bloody. Really recommend watching it before playing the game, because people who know only the demo might get floored by how dark the story really is.

-Highly recommended, seriously. The previous FF movie felt sappy and soap-opera-ish, but KG is very different. It felt Western. Those who like action and stories more focused on strength of will, zeal, and pride should definitely watch it.

-Simply put, fantastic. The visuals, the music, the impact, everything. Was worried about the VAs, but they did an excellent job.

-Been waiting for this since Versus' announcement and yeah, it delivered. Very emotive and the story reduced me to tears. Nyx is a great character and it really drives home how much hope and desperation rests on Noctis' shoulders. "Everything for the Future King", indeed.

-Way too amazing. Stunningly beautiful world and effects, the sunrise scenes in particular. The OST delivered too: powerful and dynamic, but also beautiful. Spent the whole credits crying. The OST was giving me constant goosebumps,
but the peak was probably the party scene, accompanied by haunting Somnus
. For people who had been following the project since the Versus days, the whole thing hit like a truck.
