Yeah, this is supposedly really early in the game so you may not have it that long. Maybe it's going to blow up like the buggy in FFVII did?

Also, yay classic monsters.

Nice find there DMKA! I knew those monsters looked familiar...

I like to think that the car is going to work like the one in FFVIII. At least, how it worked for me when I was a kid. I rented a car and drove it out to the middle of nowhere, and then it ran out of gas and I had to walk a very long way back to where I needed to be, haha.

Damn, sorry about that Sephiroth. I'll transfer all praise to you.

They weren't lying when some SE exec mentioned this game would feel like a buddy road trip flick.

Field looks like an Action-RPG version of Xenoblade which I am not complaining about and the music was pretty nice. Good to see them actually surprise people and show us something new.

Absolutely love it. Finally a TRULY next-gen game. I almost fainted when I saw it.
That has nothing to do with me being sick. I think.

The car did? What about how this is the only FF game in which (most) of the characters have normal hair colour and not vivid colours. Yes, I know one dude has pink hair, but I don't see him as much of a recurring character.

I think they're going for a more realistic (but still very Fantasy related) go in this one. And I have no problems with it whatsoever. It kind of fits with the storyline.

Oh yeah, the hair color is so much more obviously un-fantasy than a big shiny car. Say what?

I've made it clear at other times that I'm not at all a fan of this modern/future sci-fi+fantasy mix thing that SE is moving toward with their FFs. This is an opinion. Other people like it so good for them; I don't mean to take away from anyone else's enjoyment of the game. But I hate it. Final Fantasy XV: Four Douchebags of Light Take a Road Trip.

Nevertheless, that trailer looks pretty bad-ass. The combat looks more and more intriguing, the mobs look fantastic. I love big baddies, and it looks like FFXV is going to be full of them. Visually stunning, aurally stunning. I hope the car's not on rails. I hope there's some exploration in this damn game, because it looks like there's a lot of beautiful scenery and not being able to truly explore means all that beauty is friggin' wasted. a la FFXIII. Startin' to get my hopes up here.

The visual style is really appealing, I absolutely dig it.

I agree with chionos - let it be a free roam car! I want to drive right on into that scenery.

And yeah sorry gang, I like the car.

I'm not impressed by the trailer. I found it boring and rolled my eyes at the "road trip" vibe the whole thing has. I was more impressed by the previous trailer we got at E3 (I think it was E3) a couple years back.

I can't stop laughing because they're driving around in this super flashy modern-day car and then they jump out and start attacking things with big ol' swords oh god it's like it's really Square Enix. I hope the Chocobo theme plays when you're in the car.

I don't have an opinion either way on the trailer, I don't think I'm really much into modern FFs anymore, but damn if it didn't make me laugh (in a good way)

Not any more than the motorbike in FF7 did. I m o.

I hope the car turns into a chocobo.

This is me as well, so I am not really digging it so much.

I mean holy smurf does it look good and I want it? Yes. Do I think it should be Final Fantasy title? No.

It has a Final Fantasy VIII touch for me with it reality mixed with Final Fantasy VII or XIII which also are prety real but still very much fantasy-like (well, FFVIII as well but way more real).

And Final Fantasy VIII and VII are full of cars. You could drive in cars, on motorbikes, you could even go by bus and train. Vehicles, also normal vehicles are nothing special. A bit less fantastic but they actually are an element.

Yeah it didn't really hype me up. Oh well I'm still excited for the game!

Anyone else notice that one of the characters has the voice of Yagami Light / Okabe Rintarou? That alone got me hyped up. (Edit: Looked it up, it's Ignis who has that voice) Not sure how I feel about the combat they've shown, it looks as though you only control one character ever.

I always thought Noct was just Noctis' nickname, but apparently he's called that way even in the battle info on the bottom right so that may be his final name (at least in the Japanese version).

But what certainly looked beautiful was the world. I very much look forward to exploring it. Now let's just hope it comes out before the PS5 does. That "In Development" at the end makes me worry about when it'll be out.

Here's an amusing gif I found about the road trip buddies



You also have to remember that this is a trailer for the demo. It means it's the opening of the game. They may not have that car for the whole thing. They may not be so happy go lucky either.

As said there is a difference between what is written in Japanese and what the same name is supposed to be in Latin letters. Just like people claim to be Zacks because of Zakkusu but actually he is meant to be Zack. We need to wait for more info here I guess. Once we see some original scans with his name we can see if that is just a "new English name" like Firion or Terra or the intended one.

According to the official Playstation blog, the demo WILL actually be included in the Type-0 March 20th 2015 release. And the demo/trailer shows off a very early portion of the game and has been changed slightly as to not give away much or any of the plot. Itss goal is to show you the world exploration and the battle mechanics.
