But we never saw anything about a roadtrip aside from them driving outside the city
We literally see them driving in Leide, we literally see them mucking around and putting each other in headlocks, this was back when Nomura first stated that the game would be a roadtrip and that it was about the bonds between the bros, what are you even saying right now?
It was not until 2012ish when they commented that the game had changed a bit
That has absolutely nothing to do with anything you are saying, you are saying it "changed" to being a roadtrip when it never did, it
ALWAYS was one when it was Versus.
1. I said it changed into a more road trip feel. I did not say it never was. You really gotta give someone the benefit of the doubt.
You saying it "changed" to being one is already wrong because it never "changed" to being one, it always was one. You keep saying one thing but then going around as if you aren't saying that.
2. The line in the end of the 2011 trailer, they say some specific things right before the end of the trailer, as Noct walks away.
Which again, Nomura already stated that the games story was not about taking revenge, all that is is just a cool sounding line at the end of a trailer, not what the story was going to be about, by this logic it's like saying FFXV was going to be about "the truth" because Cor says "you want the truth?" at the end of the 2013 trailer. Noctis even in the final game still obviously wants payback on Niflheim/Ardyn but that doesn't in anyway mean it was narrative focus, nor does it even mean it was in that one line he says in 2011 either, because we already know by Nomura's own words that Versus was not about taking revenge.
3. They commented about Bonds for sure over those years. But in 2006 and 2007 when you see a dark trailer with army dying in a city with limos,. PLUS INTERVIEWS with references to the word "renegade" and "yakuza family" "and love/betrayel" sure this game isnt about yakuza or mafia, it is final fantasy medieval kingdom. So many people were talking about this online, analyzing or guessing. Each trailer. and shot. No one would know too much about the story until late 2010 or early 2011 when they commented more on it and the invasion. Yet people guessed and over analyzed.
So because they showed the same clips of Insomnia over and over that somehow means that the entire game was just about Insomnia? No, it just means they had barely created any other footage to show and they were only showing stuff pertaining to very early segments of the game regarding Insomnia. Noctis is still a renegade, that's still a core aspect of his personality that he rejects the rigid rules of the royal family which is why Noctis drags his feet so much in regards to becoming the king and accepting his responsibility, and Nomura never said anything about there being a "Yakuza family", what he said was that the relationship between Noctis, Ignis, Gladio and Prompto is a Shatei and Kyodai relationship heirarchy simular to what you would see among Yakuza, not that they are Yakuza, and they still have that Shatei/Kyodai aspect to their dynamic, and the never said anything about betrayal either, you're just making stuff up now and crossing your wires here.
"Fina Fantasy Medievil Kingdom", seriosly what are you even talking about? Nomura never said anything about this nor was this in any trailer either.
4. my comment about it just felt so badass seeing this prince want revenge and war///
See you really are just mixing and matching random things from years appart here and you're also just making stuff up that the game was never about.
all that is is earlier trailers coming together and forming an opinion for me. Before 2010.
Like here, how is it possible for you to think it was about "revenge" or "war" before 2010 when Nomura explicitly stated that the game is not about revenge and no mention of there being an impending war was made then either?
The first time a "war" was even mentioned in a trailer was in the 2013 trailer and it was just merely saying that a War could break out, and that Niflheim had already waged war against some of the other nations, not that there is one currently, oh and what is it do you think that the Kingsglaive are doing in XV? Oh right they were fighting a war against Niflheim with skirmishes happening around Lucis before the start of the game, and then when the Starscourge comes they are effectively in a war against the Daemons and the Niflheim remnants tha Ardyn wrought too. And before that we already knew that Lucis and Niflheim were in a cold war between each other since before the game would have even started, which even still in the final XV that is still the case.
