Trailer for new demo out today:

There's also going to be a movie out.

The demo was entertaining, maybe a bit too short even for what it is.

Reading the anime series is set before the game and the movie runs parallel with the main game's narrative.

God damn that was a sexy trailer. Best they've had so far, and first that actually somewhat fleshes out the main character.

His going bad arc seems a bit too 'Sasuke' to me though

What are everyone's thoughts on the other media for this game? I actually really liked the anime series but thought the film was pretty terrible.

The anime is alright, though they only had three episodes out when I watched them all. I'll have to finish that too. We'll see

Anyone read any reviews yet?

Good deal.

Of all the videos I've watched, the music is very forgettable.

One of the reviews I read from an Indian tech magazine said this. Very disappointing if that's the case.

Hope not. Good catchy memorable music is one of the hallmarks of FF games, even the entries that maybe aren't as good.

^Me too. I still listen to ALOT of Nobuo Uematsu.

Even 12 and 13 had some really good songs.

The Kingsglave movie had some good tracks, so I assumed they'd make it to the game. I spent all day catching up on the media and I start playing the game tomorrow, so I'll let you know

Game is all right, but I believe the open sandbox needs lots of work. Feels...empty and barren as ****. Also tedious.

Then again I hate the current obsession with open sandbox games. Only a few ever managed to capture my interest enough to finish them.

Its just kind of sad we'll never see "traditional" FF because of Japan's obsession to match western sales. Can't say I blame them.

All that said this FF is a step in the right direction.

PS- Square should've made the movie something that we played through. A feel a lot of people would be more content with the story had that been the case.

Gotta say whoever came up with the idea of letting us listen to old FF soundtracks on the road is a genius. That said it doesn't make up for the forgettable music so far.

I started this today. I'm still in the first zone clearing hunts and the like until I get enough Gils not to feel like a Witcher.
