[Suzaku]

Wedge sounds like Badger from Breaking Bad.

I thought the same thing.

 

[Vito]

The trailer is beautiful. I can't wait to see Tifa, Vincent and Sephiroth.

BTW what are the chances of controlling Sephiroth in the Nibelheim flashback? That would be sweet.

HOOOOOOOOOOLLYYYYYY SWEET MOLASSES I didn't think of that until you just said it.

Control Sephiroth? In the flashback?

*HEAVY BREATHING*

I think there's a slight hint at a new character in the trailer. There's a particular Shinra soldier that stands out when Cloud is surrounded in the streets of Midgar. The moment Cloud faces towards him, the Jenova cells in Cloud's body react. The camera then focuses on the soldier showing genuine concern for Cloud before the others open fire. I think this is because the soldier must have some memories of Cloud during his days as a grunt, causing the Jenova cells to respond to the contradiction. Also, his eyes are visible and his red goggles are turned off. It's not much, but it's certainly intentional.

Was thinking about this from the stream chat last night. I think it could potentially be an awesome bit of character development if these thoughts turn out to be true. There is definitely some significance there with that character.

That's a great touch that adds to the believability. Of course people would recognise him.

Some people have been wondering if its Kunsel, but I think Kunsel is a SOLDIER 2nd class, so the helmet isn't right.

Biggs was always hot. I mean check out this sexy piece of man meat.

I agree, that type of additional content could definitely have the potential to enhance the story/world building in relation to Cloud.

 

[Strangelove]

it sounds like they're rewriting the script from what was in the trailer (the english dialogue is obviously going to be different, but the japanese version also features new dialogue)

anyway, i'm very mildly excited and not at all having a little freakout

 

[Claymore]

Someone mentioned that the particle and impact effects look awesome and I have to agree after watching it over and over again. I quickly popped in the XV demo and it seems even leaps better than that. It gives me goosebumps to think how magic is going to look and feel.

 

[ultima espio]

Here we go, original vs remake.

 

[Strangelove]

wild baseless theory time:

- mystery shinra troop isn't reacting to cloud, but to seeing him with zack's sword

- mystery shinra troop isn't actually real at all, but a visual representation of the voices cloud hears in the game (this one being of him as a shinra army recruit)

i present no evidence because i have none, but if i'm right i expect someone to buy me a drink

 

[Wolf_]

I can buy into that.

Yeah maaan, let's see how hot he is when he was about to go on a spar with Barett and eventually get punch that will sent him flying towards your screen...hmmmm interesting

I think someone mentioned that Barrett seems to be different in characterization.

At least in terms of voice in both English and Japanese.

I can't wait to see Bugenhagen, really. Thinking about how awesomely spooky he will be makes me pee my pants. Not to mention Vincent and the whole Shinra Mansion scene and Sephiroth! Okay, let’s just say all of the characters.

Biggs, Wedge and Jessie look great too. Especially I liked how Wedge turned out and his voice suited him very well. The boyishness in his appearance compared to Biggs is awesome. What bothered me just a little was Barret's voice, but oh well, it doesn't matter really as long as he stays in character. Hope he doesn't wear his shades all the time though. Maybe there will be a cool scene where Barret realizes he must befriend Cloud if they are intending to work together, like in the bar, and he takes his shades off and share a manly hug with him.

Midgar looks phenomenal! The trailer only showed the plate so I'm very eager to see the real misery of the slums, the dark and dangerous atmosphere there and Wall Market of course. I also liked how Cloud looked like. I don't mind the rope arms at all, it's just realistic (though his sword is not but who cares, lol). He doesn't need to be a bodybuilder or anything, just keep the concept of a scrawny, dismal hero and I’m happy. I have never actually cared about Cloud as a character so much than I do care about some others but this new trailer made him alive. I think I will eventually end up liking him.

But who were the heavy armed guys in the first trailer?

Damn, we were going to do that XD

Barret's accent and sociolect from the few lines we get in the Japanese trailer are consistent with his style in the original game, although the lines are different.

I love this idea so much. At first I thought this new dude was saying "Get back here!" But after a rewatch, his mouth looks closed when the words are said. He does stand out, I hope he's someone new to add more to the game and to Cloud's character. Ohh so exited. <3

 

[Mage]

I watched it and squee'd. That is all.

Had a bit of fun and re-arranged the scenes in the trailer to what I think is correct chronologically.

Notes:
- I used a 720p download of the trailer. If TLS wants to upload their own version of such a video, I recommend they go the extra mile and get a 1080p version and make some editing choices that might make the video more smooth than mine.
- Footage from the E3 Teaser was omitted because their place chronologically is unknown and very speculative.
- Omitted bits of Cloud and Barret fighting together in Sector 8 because I can't fit it together with the original game's continuity. Either Barret has been forced into Cloud's party in Sector 8 only for trailer purposes OR something in the continuity has been changed for the remake.
- Audio is naturally clunky due to moving scenes back and forth.
- The video is unlisted and with a simple title because I don't intend for this video to stay online. I would really like for somebody to make their own, 1080p version of this. =)
- EDIT: Oops, got the battle scenes at 1:10-1:12 in the wrong order. It would make more sense to transition with Cloud at 1788 HP to 1727 HP, rather than doing it the other way around like I accidentally did.

EDIT #2: This guy uploaded a similar video just over twelve hours ago but I disagree with his placement of the battle scenes at 1:28 - 1:35.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

It's a shame they didn't show Cloud meeting the slum drunk.

So great to see the first real trailer and as so many others I am surprised to be hearing it fully voiced in english aswell!

Being a fan of the original turn-based combat style I am a bit reluctant to see it go away. Real-time combat technically gives less room for in depth tactical decisions. However FF: Crisis Core did real-time combat and that worked out just fine. The place-holder menues in this trailer displayed magic and summons so I am hopeful. Square-Enix, you better not skip out on the more advanced parts of materia combining just because it is real-time combat this time around!

EDIT: Do you guys think that Counter-attack materia will show up? Would be awesome to have that triggered and while the animation follows through, select items or magic in the mean time ^^. So many materias that are tricky to do properly in real-time. But hopefully Crisis Core and FF XV have been stepping stones for the SE dev team.

Hey, I never said he was perfect. Good looking guys especially have flaws.

Seeing how battle works now makes me even more hopeful that my idea of using the X-2 Garment Grid system as the weapon slots would still work.

There's nothing I enjoy more than wild baseless theories.

- mystery shinra is one of the ones that shot Zack at the cliff, he recognizes the sword

- that's all I got I am tired and I am going to eat something and watch the trailer again
