So we know who Naoki Yoshida is and who Masayoshi Soken is, but the English translation lead? That's Michael- Christopher Koji Fox who did the translation work for FF14. Oh, and that dope combat? Ryota Suzuki, who designed combat in Devil May Cry 5 and Devil's Dogma. This is basically SE Dream Team right here.

[@symphonixblades]

You mean Dragon's Dogma right ? He also worked on Marvel vs Capcom 2 combat who is still considered one of the best fighting games

[@Abdullah_N1987]

@@DontGiveUp_Skeleton IMO his localization (it can't be reduced to translation) is more impressive than the actual writing, and probably even more difficult. His work was so good that it's kind of taken for granted in FFXIV. He's legendary because not only did he successfully make all the characters and story seem 'real' but because he's also known for his contribution to the lore, story, and writing of lyrics for the main songs. He's not just a translator. Editing to emphasize that localization is literally rewriting for another audience. Every plot, every piece of humor, every personality and expressions of feelings. You literally rewrite from scratch but you have to fit it within the original work's framework so that it makes sense. That is really really hard to pull off. Compare XIV's localization to any previous FF games and you'll notice older games sound cheesy and childish. That is the power of localization.

[@Tohlemiach]

Totally disagree. The music on the first two trailers was jaw-dropping but this trailer’s music sounded super cheesy and hokey. I think he’s the most overrated composer in all of video games. Maybe he suddenly starts writing only bangers in Shadowbringers, but up to Stormblood, most of what I’ve heard is mediocre and forgettable, 1 or 2 are actually hot, and quite a few are actively grating and irritating to listen to. Also really can’t stand the Prelude with how often the guy uses it. We get it, it’s that one song every Final Fantasy has a version of. Cool, write your homage and then move on. But no, he has to just throw it in the background of like half the shit he writes, and of course it’s in this trailer too. I have zero clue where his cult comes from.

Writer is the one who wrote Heavensward expansion for FFXIV. HW was an amazing story, easily one of the best FF stories overall, right up there with FFVII, while Shadowbringers and Endwalker expansions vastly eclipsed even that, when it comes to emotional devastation & world building. That's why FFXIV is my favorite story in all of gaming. So much so that nothing's even close. Truly wish you'll find time to play it in the future, because almost to anyone who played it, FFXIV ends up becoming their favorite FF.

[@RPGOmen]

Good to see a lot of political intrigue in this one. The Creative Business Unit III team keep hitting the political stuff and the aftermath of your actions out of the park with the last four expansions on XIV. Since they're taking a year to polish it, it will very likely be a game of the year candidate for me. If they can nail continuity for 10 years with an online game, it will be interesting how they do with a single player game.

I'd also like to see how the exploration meat & potatoes combat goes, cause the trailer looks like boss fights. Still, looks hecka better than any FF of the past decade (not counting FF14).

[@ronuss]

@@dailyrip again lots of speculation, we have no idea how the systems will work. i'm not a huge fan of them going for a full action based combat system. i thought the mix of the two worked well in ff7 remake. and also its not hard to look better than the last main number ff games is it.

[@symphonixblades]

@Yimes although that guy also worked in Dragons Dogma and Marvel vs Capcom 2, this looks like an action RPG with maybe some fighting game similarities?! That health bar screams fighting game and the UI screams action RPG , you can read like spells and potions and stuff like that so still RPG but more action based

A proper trailer compared to Dragonflight.

The fact you have to talk to an NPC named Osmon to unlock 4man hardmode content, Really shows how much Yoshi P cares.

I can never tell if this community is pro or anti FF

[@Sovietmass]

It's a mix of people who like variety and those who watch for wow is my impression

[@symphonixblades]

depends on the games . I like the fantasy aspect of it more than the futuristic one FF7 is great but it's been so freaking long since we had Fantasy in Final Fantasy so clearly i am looking forward to this one

[@dafire9634]

The rabid wow andies are the loudest, but in general its very mixed

[@DawnAfternoon]

Some of the hate is straight up dumb lol Like dude 14 isn't the only FF in the franchise

[@Darkeep12]

Feels a lot like Final Fantasy Tactics. From War of the Lions to War of the Eikon.

[@XRufio84X]

For some reason, this trailer reminds me of the opening for FF8 back in the day. Looks legit awesome 👌

They are still "Creative Business Unit III" after all this time. Unbelievable.

[@smward87]

Why change the name? CBU3 will forever be synonymous with Yoshi-P's team. if they were to change it then people would need to get used to the new name and they'd just end up calling it CBU3 anyways. Just look at McCree in Overwatch. They changed his name to Cassidy Cole, but everyone and their mom still call him McCree, and when you say Cassidy there's always a brief moment of "Who?"

[@JohnnyRaven69]

For me it's Creative Business Unit 1!

[@JohnnyRaven69]

I love CBUI aka FF7R developers too, but Unit III is da best!

[@trial_with_an_error9687]

Yoshi P isn't one for giving a studio flashy names. He actually made a joke that the initials 'CBU3' was kind of like a personal calling card for the team

[@MiniatureMorpheus]

@@JohnnyRaven69 That's the main unit lol. They handle 7R.

[@marcelficoul3618]

When he will be back to ff14 ? in 2028 ?

[@symphonixblades]

I mean this new FF is by the same team of FF XIV so maybe after playing this game he will go back to 14 as well

[@markj.a351]

He explained why he doesn't play it. The FF14 community get mad when he doesn't play the game how they want him to or he wants to play something else.

[@Uedukai]

Unironically he won't due to comments like yours.

[@yaninaayalaherrera8956]

@@eodyn7 more like wow Andys pretending to be 14 Andys for the most part lol. Joking aside his audience is mainly wow players so I see why he won't come back. Sadly a lot of tribalism on MMOs.
