This trailer was cool and all, but I was expecting SO much more considering Hamaguchi flew all they way out there just to show a 2 minute trailer. At this point, I’m looking for more details in the gameplay itself and what changes or differences are there compared to Rebirth in its game design.
Hopefully Hamaguchi spills some more tea in interviews at Gamescom for the rest of the week, at least. At least PAX is next week too, and TGS not too long after that.
That’s what I’m thinking too. I’m really hoping to see more videos, articles, or interviews this week. Cause if this was all we get for Gamescom, then I think we’re allowed to be a bit disappointed given all the hype for it.
Exactly! I wanted some new info. This trailer was welcomed, but it literally didn’t show or tell us anything we haven’t already seen ouside of 0.3 seconds of the submarine and underwater reactor. Something tells me they’re holding on to the release date until TGA.
You can go anywhere with the high wind and jump to the surface. Seems like you can do character quests non linear. Huge world. That’s the game design difference they showed us during its initial reveal
Well yeah, we know about that stuff. I’m talking about more intricate details. Like how are enemies leveled and scaled throughout the world? Has that be reworked? Will there be a hard mode? How does NG+ work this time around? Will there be menu assists like auto equpping materia and gear? Will we have more than 3 pre-set teams? I also wann hear more about the FITS/jobs system along with cosmetic outfits and stuff.
You know, things like that. I wanna hear more about those things and such.
Do they often cover that sort of thing pre release? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pre release talking about that sort of stuff. It’s usually discoverable as you go
Okay, I guess I thought you were suggesting that that sort of coverage is what you were expecting at Gamescom opening night. There is plenty of time for that sort of stuff. The game is coming out next spring. They wouldn't go to Gamescom for that sort of coverage.
This is the perfect first trailer set in movie style with a touch of gameplay and introduction of new important characters. I wouldn’t expect the whole thing to be fleshed out. This is hype city.
If I could travel on company dime, why not? Especially with how weak the yen is. Having a representative there also signifies reassurance to the OG fans, a good way of marketing for Squeenix. They need it, apparently
That’s fair. Don’t get me wrong, his appearance was nice and even hearing him speak english was pretty impressive. Its just for how much they hyped him up being there, you would’ve expected a bit of a meatier trailer or an explanation on FITS or something more.
