If the wolf-dog dies, this is objectively the worst FF ever.

Did you Nancy Drew the right Ben Starr though?
I went through his twitter that's linked here so I hope so
He's also a massive FF fan!

It's just that I saw there is a different Ben Starr with a very similar Twitter handle that definitely is openly gay but maybe they both are idk
Glad they finally confirmed VAs anyway, saw tons of people claim it was totally Jonathan Bailey and the entire time I'm like....he doesn't sound remotely like it????

Surprising that the FF16 trailer barely scratched 1M views when combing the views from official FF, SE and Sony channels.

Is it the draw of celebrities pulling Death Stranding and Cyberpunk or something??? Or is it like, hate watching? Not trying to be a hater, because I think both have a lot to offer (I am pro DS and havent played Cyberpunk yet), I'm just surprised they're doing more numbers than FF16. Especially since both were pretty controversial upon initial release.
Weird! Gamers having short term memories I guess

Personally, I'm not surprised. I thought it was a shit trailer, I felt 0 desire to go back and rewatch it, and every time someone goes "wow chills I'm so hyped for this game this is their best trailer yet" I have no idea what they mean lmao.
This tweet about it is a big mood:
I think the best trailer for ff16 has been the very first reveal trailer where the hype as fuck soken_boss_fight_second_phase_music.mp3 kicks in during the mid way point.
Edit: btw, the trailers from that list that I have gone back and rewatched a few times are hades 2 bisexual boogaloo, and armored core.

oh hell yeah I actually yelled when there was a Hades 2 reveal. I didn't expect the first one to become one of my favourite games.

The Dominant trailer with all the summon names chanted and this one are my two favorite XVI trailers.
The reason I liked the most recent one was the showcase of the party, Ifrit being summoned to battle, that transformation beatdown against Garuda, the insight into Clive's motivation and the badass tagline
"Fate is written in fire."

I've been hooked since the FF prelude began playing in the very first "Awakening" trailer (timestamped):
Over the last two years, and especially the past few months, I've been equal parts fascinated and annoyed that people are once again grappling with the identity of the series, arguing in their minds and online over "what is and isn't FF". For a series with 16 unique iterations, it's amazing that this is still an issue.

As stated none of the prior trailers really appealed. Just looked like GoT or some edgy renaissance faire stuff. This trailer showing a group of people preparing for a fight against something was the first time any of these trailers felt like a Final Fantasy to me.
I don't have the "omg chills hype," but it was always a given that I'd be getting the game, and this was the first trailer that made me think "there we go."

Yeah, people being unable to grasp that "Has Final Fantasy in the Title" is the only qualification to being a Final Fantasy thing has been amusing. The "Finally, Final Fantasy is going back to its roots, none of this boyband or technology shit, more grounded Knights and Castles" people have also quite funny because that's like saying this person has never played an FF game in their life.

I'm just not sympathetic when fans view the series from a materialistic standpoint (i.e., does it have X, Y, or Z). Instead, I wish fans would consider the soul of the series, the emotions the creators put into each mainline game, when they're presented with something new.
I feel with that in mind, XVI's authenticity has been evident since its reveal.

Very much agree. “What do we do?”
“The usual!”
Yes thank you. Relationships, characters. It’s not my type of game (DMC slugger with QuickTime events) but it may be the first game of its type I really enjoy. Love the style and tone.
