Oh trust me, I already know I am a fanboy, not of FF exactly, but of Pokemon, Digimon, Spongebob, Fairly Oddparents, PLL, Once Upon A Time, even Descendants! So that isn't really much of a bad thing, it just makes me who I am.And I may complain, but over simple things that are easier to change then what you want. Heck, complaining is a part of being lazy, which I know I am.And giving feedback isn't the same as "GIVE US A FRICKIN RELEASE DATE AND TIME WHEN THE GAME COMES OUT OR ELSE WE WONT BUY FROM YOU EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"!

You talk about a game that's been in development for TEN FREAKIN YEAAARS!

 

If the game was announced last year or this year sure I wouldn't have asked for one

 

But we've been waiting for a decade now wasting our time and money on mediocre to outright shit games like Final Fantasy XIII,Dirge of cerberus,The 3rd Birthday  and other shoddy like FF All the Bravest and mediocre handheld entries for the Kingdom Hearts series

 

We've been giving them all sorts of feedbacks not just complaining and bitching and sure I'm glad Tabata addressed them in the demo,but everything else we've said has fallen to deaf ears

 

they keep announcing shit all the time with no clearly defined development schedule where their resources and staff get thrown and cut all over the place and most of the time this result in a bunch of mediocre games

 

They publicly promised people that they'd be more transparent and honest about their games so you can't blame people for expecting such a thing and get angry when they know it's just yet another one of many empty promises by Square Enix

 

If you think this is the one thing that made me say"I'm done with Square Enix" then you're wrong

 

I'm already done with them since 2013

 

If we didn't say what I think of what they did they won't address it

The trailer was a bit underwhelming on first viewing, but it wasn't that bad. We have an ATR later so yay. They will share with us more info and stuff about the game. Maybe there is a "Dusk" trailer somewhere along the lines haha.

 

Or I'm trying to find a positive. It wasn't a "conventional" trailer, which is why I can see some are very annoyed. I'm going to reserve judgement until after the ATR later.

Okay one, I like all the games of KH.Two, again I waited 15 years of my 19 years on Earth waiting for the day Pac-Man would be in Smash Bros and I didn't yell and complain to Sakurai for not putting him in the game sooner! So I am patient when it comes to something I really want! I am a fan of some of the works that Square Enix has made, I am not a true fan unlike with Disney and Nintendo!

Just because you waited doesn't mean I should subject myself to suffer too and wait just as much if not more

 

I have a life and if they think I'm gonna dedicate my time to them like most of their loyal followers then sorry I have to move on

 

In fact I already moved on to other non-Square RPGs developed by actual dedicated staff with a set schedule for their releases,franchises like Pokemon,Fire Emblem,the Tales of series,Shin Megami TenseiPersona..........etc are more worth my time than another pretentious Kingdom Hearts entry and another underwhelming FF release

 

 

Don't forget the Wii games. Lol.

Well those weren't good either,FF Crystal Bearers was underwhelming and the Chocobo Dungeon games are even worse,and the least I say about the Wii version of FF Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time the better

Ah one of those "it doesn't show anything but hey, doesn't it look pretty, that's good enough right?" trailers. Oh Square, why you disappoint your fans so?

If the trailer doesn't have the release date, there's always the Active Time Report to see a release date possibly. The report is today.:

At least they didn't say now in development. It is a bit weird that there is no year release.

If they say we can preorder now must means this year or next.

Edited August 5, 201510 yr by KH4Real

I'm just going to put my disappointment on hold until after the ATR

Absolutely agree with you here.

 

It's for this reason I lost trust in Square Enix completely,like seriously out of context,especially for a new fan,this trailer won't mean shit cuz they'd have no idea WTF is going on and even then,this whoooole 3 minutes trailer could've been easily condensed into one minute,with the remaining two being gameplay but nope,Square loves to stroke their own dicks and be like:OOOH LOOK AT OUR AWEEEESOME ENGIIIIIINE,LOOK AT DEM LIGHTING,DEM EFFECTS AND DEM REALISTIC FACES....and as we all know them bluffing with their engines and tech demos has got them nowhere since 2006 up to this point

 

 

That's why I trust a company like Atlus with my RPGs......just look at the last Persona 5 trailer and then compare it to this

Yeah, heck, they really need to take some notes from Hideo Kojima. I mean look at MGS5: Phantom Pain and how it has amazing graphics, yet it didn;t take a decade to make. This developement with SE on FF XV/ Versus XIII is quite ridiculous if you ask my opinion.

Final Fantasy XV: How to hold a child 101

So I'm sure all whom are reading this have seen the newest Dawn trailer for Final Fantasy XV, and with almost 2 minutes of father-son holding and no release date, we're here scratching our heads over when this game will actually come out.

 

So why couldn't SE finally spit it out in the newest trailer?

 

Let's dial back a bit. Shortly after Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae was released along with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, we were all pretty excited to have something tangible in our hands that said "This game will finally be a thing." In that timeframe was also the mention that gamescom 2015 would officially kick off the Final Fantasy XV marketing campaign.

 

Let's also look back on previous recent years:

 

• Tokyo Game Show brought THREE new videos: an official TGS trailer, a video showing the graphical capability of Luminous Studio for 10 minutes, AND a video showcasing combat with the Armiger  Arsenal
• Jump Festa 2015 brought THREE new videos: an official Jump Festa trailer, a sneak peak at a Cidney encounter, and the "Dog Cam" walkthrough of the town of Lestallum.

There's far more.

FFXV is obviously Square Enix's main priority as of now. So much so that they made just about every day at gamescom have a new event for the game, and they even have a huge stage event planned. Why the hell would Square Enix blow their secret the night before the huge event? Especially given that they very well know people are EXPECTING a release date at gamescom? If we use our heads, we can see that the facts point to this:

 

Square Enix will release an official gamescom 2015 trailer for Final Fantasy XV before the end of gamescom, which will very likely at the least contain a release window.

 

Well, why do you say that, Sun?

 

The Dawn trailer and its gif were signs of increasing the hype for gamescom 2015, which was what I believe the marketing team's intention was (which, as we all know, utterly backfired). Square Enix wouldn't waste its time with a huge stage show and Active Time Report planned to blow it off with that extremely vague trailer. We can see that Square Enix has released multiple trailers in the past near big gaming events and is definitely pushing for a huge marketing spree for FFXV. 

 

And if I am wrong, I will take all the burn and flame that will come my way from the waiting.

 

CALL ME A FANBOY IF YOU WILL, MY FAITH IN TABATA-SAN AND THE FFXV TEAM WILL FUEL THIS HYPE TRAIN FOR AGES!

Don't worry,I got Burn Heal equipped.

I'm still holding out hope for FFXV even if most people have their hype killed.

That's the spirit!

I hope you are right, although i wasn't expecting anything big for this gamescom, just maybe a release date which we eventually didn't get. Perhaps we'll get a twilight trailer at the end of gamescom, who knows...

Thank you, finally someone else besides me that I know of that actually didn't mind the Dawn trailer, it was amazing sure not what a lot of people wanted but it was still a great trailer sure it didn't have the release date or window that everyone wanted at the end of it but even if they don't show anything else with it I'm ok with what happened given that TGS is next month they might save the release date for that and if they do show a release window at the end of gamescon or some other time during gamescon then they will probably give the release date at TGS or Jump Festa, and if they don't give anything else at gamescon then they will for sure give either a release window or date at either TGS or Jump Festa

To be honest, I definitely was disappointed at first. But a little sleep and thinking made me figure out how to rationalize situations like this.

Well I'm still hyped for the game despite that trailer.......and I'm waaaaaay more hyped for FFXV than KH3 to be completely honest,it's just my faith in Square is dwindling day after day

Honestly so many people have hated on the Dawn trailer and all I kept thinking was, "Yeah but there is an Active Time Report later"

 

All they want is a release date and understandably so, but when they are given something all they do is complain. It reminds me of when we got that lovely new KH3 trailer at E3 and all I saw was "waaahh why does it still say NOW IN DEVELOPMENT?!! Screw you SE how dare you!" Like, if there is one thing that certain gamers lack and that is patience. I understand the wait has been long, I'm not blind or in denial, but I'm not going to complain when they give us stuff.

 

I fully expect far more information regarding the title later in the ATR and I can't wait. If we don't get a release date then at least we were shown stuff. TGS is next month too so they will obviously show the game off there. It's as you said, Gamescom has kicked off their marketing campaign for the title so for them to go all guns blazing would be silly. We are going to be fed little information here and there, shown stuff that doesn't spoil the crap out of the game and you know what? We're still gonna buy the game when it comes out. I'm one of the few who actually liked the Dawn trailer and Ms. Shimomura's music was really nice in it.

I just wanted to see some gameplay and action. 

Tabata has confirmed no release date during Gamescom. Because obviously the game isn't coming out for another year.

They obviously want to promote the game at E3 for once. Haha.

if they were trying to hype us up for some announcement then they sure picked the worst scenes to do so. or get someone to edit it a bit so we don't have 2 minutes of a father holding his kid to unfitting dramatic music. i was more confused than hyped.
