All these trailers are nonsensical and seem to be a random bunch of game clips and cinematics pasted together by a blind guy. I have no clue what the hell is going on.

This game looks so seriously amazing, I love the quality of the CGI
 
It's such a shame that Square is so damn slow with making this

For a fantasy based on reality, Noctis sure has an interesting haircut.

I thought this was supposed to take place in the "real world" when they first started talking about it. I guess this is real world filtered through Japanese geeks.

You have it backwards. It's JRPG land filtered through real world.

Yes, this is clearly being developed by the Kingdom Hearts team.
 
Main character and love interest look incredibly bland, the driver at the start looked amazing though. Easily one of the best CG faces I've ever seen.

I really like the first minute, I thought the very near future mixed with light fantasy was pretty awesome. But then, at about the three minute mark in turns into banana land and I lost interest. Still, it's more interesting to me then their other recent stuff. 
 
And man, their CG is incredible. Not that it hasn't been said, but it deserves repeating.

Let's look at it this way, it's either this or Brad posting up random 1 minute game commercials.

Hmm, I'm kinda more interested in this now than FF 13. That's some nice cgi, only thing I have to point out is that that guy's typical anime like hair looks dumb when he's wearing a suit.

I like how in the second half of the video, in every shot where that guy is just running, something ends up exploding or crashing into the ground.

A final fantasy with the Kingdom Hearts battle system should be awesome.  The world looks kinda boring, but they've only shown a bit. 
 
Though I don't get why it's called FF Versus 13..

This doesn't look like a Final Fantasy title to me. But it does look like an incredible game. I can't wait for this to be released.

You know a game is Japanese when a Japanese barely-clad armour lady jumps from the sky, poledancing on a spear.

Wow, usually when someone says Final Fantasy to me, my response is "meh".

But to see something like this is actually pretty interesting, I'll be watching this closely.

Sasuke needs to cheer the hell up, but it looks interesting.
Looks like a kingdom hearts style battle thing, which is no bad thing.
 
I'm liking the idea of doing final fantasy games, which are base on ATBs and variations of the usual stuff, and playing with different systems in tag-along games.

I didn't realize FFXIII took place in fucking actual Tokyo. I even saw a sign that says British Cafe.

I question the developers ambition with such a derived name, but the trailer shows alot of cool stuff.

OH FUCK
 
Alright, you've sold me on this game.
 
It seems that they're taking cues from Western development. For example, the scene where that ship crashes through the window would have been FMV in a traditional FF game. And third person shooting? It's almost like it was made by a Western developer, except the camera's way far back, so you know  it's Japanese.

Well both games were announced at about the exact same time, this one's just coming out later. I don't think it's derivative but yeah naming schemes for Square are ridiculous

Looks very sharp, PS3 doing some work. Much less sold on the gameplay; some of it looks pretty bland, although when you tell me it's from the Kingdom Hearts dudes that's pretty much what I'd expect.
