We're not sure what to make of Final Fantasy XV's Gamescom 2015 trailer. On the one hand, yes, it is actually a new look at the game. On the other, it doesn't really show much at all. Featuring a young Noctis and his regretful father, it's a pretty emotional clip, but it's hard not to feel like we need something more at this point.
With any luck, Square Enix's livestream, which is happening later today, will provide our best look at the release yet, but even then, we're not getting our hopes up. Regardless of our jaded prattle, though, it's still worth watching the embedded video just to get a taste for the feel of the title. We honestly reckon that this clip's packed with more emotional depth than most of Final Fantasy XIII, but we're sure that some of you won't agree.
What do you make of the trailer? Has it got you eager to see more or is a release date all that you care about? Find a shoulder to cry on in the comments section below.

This didn't really show or tell us much at all, did it?
PLEASE BE EXCITED
I GOT HERE FIRST WITH THE CLASSIC COMMENT, I WIN
Can anyone lip read? lol
I learnt nothing but strangely still enjoy what I saw immensely.
WTB release date!
I enjoyed it but we really need a release date at this point.
It did show much, but I really enjoyed it. That has probably gotten me the most excited out of everything I've seen of FFXV(other than the gameplay). Looks like it'll actually have a deep story, unlike another game in the franchise.
There's still not a release date? I've been waiting since 2005-2006 for this.
It's like Naughty Dog said in their conversation with creators video:
"Why should I get emotional over something just because the scene was intended to provoke that... You have to earn that response. "
Not word for word but that was the gist of it. Why should I care about these characters and their apparent struggles when I know nothing about them?
Awful trailer.
@DominicanGlory Spot on. Ive spent 4-5 hours with episode duscae and let me assure you - you will have zero emotional attachment. Until the chocobos appear. Exactly as you mention chocobos "have earned" your emotion.
Looks deep. Man I can't wait for amother final fantasy. The music sounds epic and this looks and feels like ff has grown up probably aiming at a mature fan base (ahem that's us over 30s) who still loves gaming
