As you may or may not know, the Playstation 4 didn't release worldwide at the same time. Japan had a delayed release. In fact it's still not out! It comes out there on Feb 22nd. Luckily for us, this means that Japan is releasing a bunch of new trailers for their upcoming games. This includes Final Fantasy XV!

The trailer itself shows a lot of scenes we've already seen but there are some new ones int here as well. This two and half minute trailer makes us shake in our Germinas Boots all over again. So take a break from your long work day and take a gander at the trailer.

Are you excited? Look at that Leviathan! This trailer shows some of the platforming and gameplay. What do you think about it?

[Del Murder]

Looks much more action-oriented than any other Final Fantasy to date, but I'm sure it will be fun whatever it is. I hope you get to control more than just Noctis.

[Ayen]

Gameplay looks sick.

[Noctis Caelum]

Only thing I noticed that was different from the E3 videos is that the actual attacks now show a numerical damage. Which is cool and classic FF. But seriously Square, please release a proper NEW trailer for this. I'm begging you. They promised a new video at the Tokyo Game Show and, just like this, basically showed us 99% of stuff we already saw at E3.

[Aulayna]

Yeah I was going to ask, was there actually anything new in that at all. It just looks like a re-edit of both the trailers we got last year.

[Pumpkin]

Largely similar to what we've already seen. I'm with Del that I hope we get to control multiple characters. I am curious as to what Link Form or whatever it said is.

I'm not huge in to action type of gameplay. I liked KH, but overall I prefer more of a traditional Final Fantasy style, so I'm not sure how well I'll do at this game. makes me a bit nervous.

Visually stunning, of course. Do you have to fight Leviathan? Just watching it is intimidating :<

[Noctis Caelum]

My friend and I feel that the gameplay for this is like Devil May Cry on absolute steroids. It REALLY looks like it's more of a hack n slash than the traditional RPG that FF has built its reputation on. Which I find new and bold for them to think of doing. Think about it, every other big industry game is too scared to change their mechanics. Pokemon games haven't changed at all in the last 20 years, besides some VERY minimal graphical "upgrades". And then you have Call of Duty games that just don't do anything different. And here you have Final Fantasy just telling everybody to sit the smurf down and show us a grand ol' time.

I like the changes that it's going for, but I'm more eager to see how it plays out. The combat that we've seen thus far looks faster than anything I've ever seen in a video game. And I'm very fond of the Hack n Slash genre so that is saying something.

[Ayen]

I like it too. It got me pumped just watching the trailer (first time I saw the trailer btw). Feels like one of those games that would make you pay if you so much as blink.

[Rostum]

Looks impressive. I'll need a PS4 sooner than I thought!

[Scotty_ffgamer]

Yeah, I think showing the numbers for the amount of damage you are doing and maybe a few seconds in another spot are the only "new" things in this trailer. I honestly don't mind that much personally. It would be nice to see more just to know that more work has gone into it, but I almost want to just go in knowing as little as possible at this point. I have great faith in at least the design of the world, and I want to experience seeing a lot of the places and getting blown away by them for the first time while playing.

The action/hack-n-slash style I can handle. It would be nice to get a more traditional battle system, but I enjoy Kingdom Hearts and could handle a system similar to that. I am interested in seeing the level progression in this game though. We don't know if we can control anyone aside from Noctis, and we also really don't know how customizable the characters are.

[Mercen-X]

I fear the opening act may be the most action-packed portion of this game and the rest will feel sadly very slow.

[Edge7]

In the PS3 build of the game, it looked like you could play as the other characters. The guy with the huge sword seemed more effective with heavy weapons, and the guy with the handgun allowed you to aim manually for an enemy's weak spots. I hope they keep that idea; it gave the game a bit more variety, you have a versatile main character, and a party of characters with specialized abilities.

[Kalevala]

I'd like a really challenging game akin to the Devil May Cry series. I can't see them doing that, though. The fans are a fickle bunch, and that's one drastic change I can't see going over very well.

[DMKA]

Looks as awesome as ever, but I'm not seeing anything new here.

I sometimes wonder if they're actively working on finishing the game or if it's just something they work on in their spare time between HD Remasters, FFXIV, and mobile games.
