Kind of reminded me of the opening to Kingsglaive and the art style looks like a Japanese dev trying to make Witcher 4. Was hoping for something brighter and more fantastic akin to a next-gen FF9.
That said, who knows how much will be revealed over the next...couple years? Seems that was just a tiny slice of the game.

Nothing about the trailer hooked me, especially with the characters. I do think the medieval-like setting is promising, though.
I don't think this is a huge spoiler at all. maybe a tease, but nothing can be sussed out from this screenshot. But i will because reasons i guess.
Really love the logo. Amano is a legend.
this logo is fucking FIRE
I mean XV is a finished game and this is still in the middle of being made. Is it really that weird of an opinion?
Uhh if anyone does crystal tower they're gonna be shocked by the state of that character lol. Showing the Exarch's face at all is a huge spoiler.
At first I thought the trailer looked bland and unimpressive. BUT! With Naoki Yoshida involved there is a good chance the story will be good, and I would take a new mainline FF that focuses on story over graphics any time. Love the return to a more traditional fantasy setting too, a shame they're not willing to bring back turn-based combat.
Didn't Witcher 3 sold like 30M copies? Not sure FF will ever get close to that, considering Japan moved away from Console/PC gaming.
lol literally revealing the exarch's identity when during 90% of shadowbringers all they do is talk about the mystery surrounding who or what the exarch is... but go ahead and be petty about it.
At a guess it means Sony paid a lot of money to make out that FFXVI is only on Playstation, Square Enix can't say it's coming to Xbox or PC due to contractual reasons.
Exactly, this. Is this finally when SE drops the fidelity/graphic fetish and just bangs out an amazing FF game in a timely manner? I sure hope so
ShB came out 1 year ago. Stop harassing this person with your spoilerophobia.

Is this the first time that the word "FINAL FANTASY" has been slightly covered? Just a tad jarring but I love the art.
i was so disappointed at this trailer i got legit angry lol. looks completely uninspired to me, like they're just riding on nostalgia (look, Shiva!), and that damn main character, WHY? like a clone of the last one that was already horrid. they had so many years to come up with a memorable character... and is there even a party? looked like he was fighting alone in those combat clips. i need a decent sized party in my FF games, it's an absolute must!
also, how many gens do we still have to wait to get decent hair graphics? i thought this was finally gonna be the time... but no, apparently PS3 level blocky static hair is still good enough even to Squarenix's wizard coders. bleh.
i haven't played a FF i genuinely liked since FFXIII :( and i had to forgive a lot of faults in that game too but at least Lightning was a somewhat unique and memorable character.
they gotta do a lot to win me back after this trailer.. start by fixing the damn hair ffs. and please tell me you have a party.

Not exactly like FF XIV... But I can see the type of faces you can create in FF XIV being like the ones in XVI. Obviously with the benefits of more powerful hardware.
This is what ffxiv looks like at maximum settings. you have no idea what you're talking about
Even someone on this very thread speculated about being able to create your character in this game. There's a level of detail you forgo when allowing for character creation. Again. I'm not saying that will be the case with XVI, just that that's the level of detail I'm missing.
Well, graphics maybe is not that great but at last we can hope the game will be out in a reasonable time frame, without a team messing around with their own engine that will get the game delayed for years.
Finally we're getting a mature Final Fantasy: when did you see a series entry with a child covered in blood that transform in a vessel fo a Primal (a signature of FFXIV)? Everyone making a big case about the graphics, should think to the developing hell the last entries went because of unrealistic technical achievement SE wanted to pursue and which kind of butchered and terrible storytelling we got.

tf outta here with that shit, if anything the FF16 reveal is gonna get people to jump into or get back into ff14. they should get to experience the story without having parts of it spoiled in a thread from a diferrent game. there's a reason we have spoiler tags in this forum
I do agree that SE dropping the fidelity/graphic fetish is good, but that should have no bearing on an actual interesting art style. So I hope we get more visually striking areas as that doesn't require pushing cutting edge graphics at all, just a talented art team with a great vision
Also - the fact that this trailer was pure gameplay leads me to believe they are pretty deep in development and not early on or anything. No Pre rendered first look trailer. They showed a whole lot of cutscenes, fully voiced in engine and all. I'm optimistic.
This looked liked and felt like FFXIV story wise (and I'm interested in seeing if this game has any connection to FFXIV for example this game taking place in the 2nd or 3rd star of Hydaelyn) but combat wise it looks like FFXV.
i dunno people that are saying this looks nothing like XIV are kinda being obtuse
the character models and environments feel VERY reminiscent of XIV's engine. I'd say it's more like XIV on steroids and honestly? I think that's completely fine.
The team involved in this game makes me very very excited.

Me too.
Some Ogre vibes and Vagrant story.
Not surprising though, Yoshi-p is a huge fan of Tactics Ogre.
The very first Amano logo (FFIV) did it, and then FFV, etc. It was actually FFVII that broke the trend.You have a tiny bit of that in these:
Ugh. I hated FFXV combat, and this didn't instill confidence. I yearn for a return to turn based Final Fantasy
Really not feeling this yet, unfortunately. This is the first (non-MMO) mainline FF reveal that hasn't sent my hype through the roof since... probably XII, I guess? But even XII's reveal got me a little more excited than this did.
Obviously it's way, way too early to make any informed judgments one way or the other, but so far this is coming off to me as what a modern Final Fantasy game might look like if a big Western dev made it. If an overt Western vibe is indeed what they're going for, yeah, I'm going to find that hugely disappointing. We'll see.
Still hyped as fuck for FFVII Remake Part 2, though!

I hate, HATE, Final Fantasy's departure from party system.
This is probably just a first showcase of combat while MC is still alone, but that combat system screams FFXV to me. I'm not against action based combat, but I'm against the MC oriented combat system in FFXV. I hope this still have party members with menus and pauses like FFVIIR, at least.

I gotta say, I'm hoping that this is rough footage, and that there's a lot of polishing left to do. FFXV so far looked more beautiful to me, and the characters looked better/more interesting. FF is one of my favorite series so I hope it'll be good. The only FFs I haven't played are 11 and 14, but this looks very 14ish - is it the same team?
I feel like the story in this one would be good - and I'm never like "zomg graphics" but maybe it's because the last few FF reveal trailers really blew me away - versus 13, and 13. This looks like it got a lower budget than I'd expect from FF but these are all hot takes and I hope to be proven wrong on all accounts.

You know what, this is pretty much what I've converged on as well. Aesthetically seems they might like to split the difference between XV and Witcher 3, maybe hoping to bring in J and Wrpg fans?
Actually the buzzy sort of anxious string undertone to the crystal theme during the characters-talking-in-the-Witcher-looking village portion had a real Witcher 3 OST vibe as well (like if you mixed crystal theme w/ crookback bog chrone tracks).
None of this necessarily turns me off though -- W3 is right there w/ Nier:A as my rpg of the generation. If they can provide a darker story driven experience w/ exciting FF beats (and those summon fights did look sweet) I could dig it.
I have full faith that they will be able to deliver that. Especially when Yoshi P saying that what we saw was just a super tiny part of what the team has accomplished so far.
So this will unquestionably be an M-rated Final Fantasy game, right? Because that trailer was gory.
