Getting a mix of XIV and XV from this trailer.

Overall, i'm going to need to see more to feel hyped.

I gotta say though, if somehow Xaela are in the game, i'd be hyped.

I don't know exactly what it is, but something about the design of the main character reminds me very strongly of a certain other character...

I think he's based on the Warrior of Darkness from Shadowbringers.

It all looks too weird for me.

He does look like a hairswap of Ardbert/Warrior of Light/Darkness

[up] My FC and Linkshell are hoping Joshua is customizable.

If i can somehow play as a Xaela, this game is a pre order at the first second purchase for me. [lol]

I mentioned this in the general FF thread, but I'm largely interested in this game because the combat looks fun. The story could be total garbage and I'd likely still have a good time.

Also, the protag doesn't really look like Ruby Rose.

Was how I immediately realized it was Yoshida. XIV official Hyur Wo L went from clean faced prettyboy to gruff with Shadowbringers.

So, Shiva and Titan duking it out in the first minute or so seemed to be an army conflict. Will each region have its own Eikon or whatever they're called?

[up]I like Ashe so the similarities are a positive for me.

Eikons was a lesser used term in XIV to refer to Primals aka Summons.

Honestly I guess this is where Yoshida decided to blow a Summon vs Summon load on, since XIV recently had a giant mecha vs giant mecha fight implemented in 5.3

Specifically, Eikon was a term used by the local evil empire to refer to summons.

[up] Think we might get an event in XIV for the game?

Which had been used by a now dead Evil Empire in the past, whom said Empire takes inspiration from.

[up] No idea but Id love it if so. The crossovers were some of THE BEST stuff in XV.

Like Noct having more romantic tension with a character from one of those events than he does any of the female characters in the actual game.

[up]As others have put it, it's not a good thing when a guest star party member for one brief crossover event has more chemistry with the main character than his ostensible Love Interest does.

[up][up] I mean like in XIV where we went camping with Noctis.

And still had better chemistry with him than Lunafreya.

So apparently Twitter is upset about the trailer only showing the protag and complaining how "it's not a real Final Fantasy" and that it's more in the vein of DMC/The Witcher/et cetera.

To the first point: it's literally the first trailer, they'll introduce the party later. They already had to fit in the summons, The Empire, the revenge story, the little kid being able to summon Phoenix (or Ifrit?), and the combat demo. Give them time.

To the second, No True Scotsman is a logical fallacy for a reason. I only have experience with ATB/CTB, so I'm biased, but declaring a game isn't part of the main series just because you don't like the combat seems a bit odd to me.

The first trailers of XIII and XV only had Lightning and Noctis. It wasn't til later that we saw other characters like Stella and Mr 33cm. [lol]

Why are you paying attention to what people are whining about on Twitter? That's your first mistake.
