Got this from the newly updated FFXV website, and it's 10x more interesting than that new trailer.

 

 

"In a matter of days, the Kingdom of Lucis is to sign an armistice, ending a long and bitter conflict with Niflheim. Ahead of the ceremony, Prince Noctis, heir to the Lucian throne, sets forth from his homeland to formalize the union of states through his marriage to the Lady Lunafreya of the imperial province of Tenebrae,

 

 

The offer of peace, however, is no more than a ruse to lower the Lucian shield, and the imperial army takes the crown city and its sacred crystal in one fell swoop. En route to his destination, Noctis is shocked to learn that he, his father the king, and his betrothed are believed dead.

 

Overnight, the dream of peace has faded into a distant memory. His world crumbling around him, Noctis has naught but his resolve and his loyal companions to see him through the trials to come."

 

Hm, so a political wedding that's actually a ruse to completely destroy the opposing forces? That sounds familiar...

sounds like FF12

maybe this is what the guy as Distant Worlds was talking about

Tabata just said the new scenario writer was a big FF fan. Haha.

Spot on, engagement confirmed.

Wow, now this is sort of surprising.  I could see it complimenting the plot rather nicely, and am a bit curious to see how it turns out.  I'm also wondering what the relationship will actually be like between Luna and Noctis since it seems that they're predominately engaged to make peace between two societies, which in turn is actually just a distraction.  Interesting indeed.

They are childhood friends.

They are childhood friends.

So in that sense, I guess the E3 2013 trailer is somewhat canon?

Damn, this sounds very dramatic and very intriguing!  I do love me a good story with some excellent twists!  That bit about Noctis and Luna being engaged was very interesting!
