this game has to have a record for the most amount of trailers released at this point lol.

That trailer goes hard. Hype! Can't wait to try the demo.

I mean I prefer that over going radio silent for years like in FFXV.

FF XV was in development hell. Completely different case/scenario.

Exactly, so unlike FFXV, Yoshi-P likes to show off the game because it’s not in development hell.

watching this trailer, i felt like a mogwai: 'bright light! bright light!'...
The 18 minute gameplay demo IGN did, completely deflated any hype I had for this game. I really wasn't feeling it and didn't feel like FF in the slightest. I really liked the Eidon fighting and some of the set pieces, but seeing it action just not interested if that is how the gameplay flows.

Well there's a demo dropping tomorrow so you can try it out for yourself. I love what I'm seeing from the combat but I'm glad there's an option for those that aren't sold.
Your post? Yeah, it smells like fanboy's desperationSmells like desperation to me

I'm sure you're an authority on that matter.
fanboy of what? I have a PS5, maybe stop gargling on Jimbo's balls for a bit?
I have never seen any publisher/dev show so much of their game before launch, also, I'm not the only one noticing.
Though I have to admit that I fucking hate SE with passion for ruining FF, not talking about XVI specifically, but everything since 2001.

Square Enix employee A: Shit the pre-orders are not going to plan what do we do??
Square Enix employee B: Release mwoar trailers with mwoar particle effects!!!!!!!!!!!!
Square Enix employee A: Mwoaaaaaaaaaaar???!?!?!??!
Square Enix employee B: MWWWOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR PARTICLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PARTICLES LIKE IT'S 1999!!!
Not for me either way, but I can kinda see why pre-orders are not as good, maybe people thought they wanted a fantasy/medieval type Final Fantasy but aaaactually don't after seeing what they get

I feel like the money to make these trailers should instead be added to funds for billboards, bus stops, restaurant deals, and other ground level advertisements.
I just see all Lilith and no Clive.
just because I don't swallow all the shit Sony churns out and give it a 10/10 means that I hate PS, also, FFXVI is not a PS Studios game.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

To be fair, Square probably doesn't have the kind of money Activision does.
Nor will FF16 sell anywhere close to the amount Diablo IV will.

Trailers and marketing are planned months and months in advance. They need to take shots, dialogue, gameplay, and cutscenes from the game, edited it all together, receive approval for it, etc etc. It's a whole process. And all of it is mapped out well head of time for their marketing campaign. None of this is the result of panicking. Are SE "slightly panicking" from preorders? Maybe, who knows. But these trailers aren't reactionary.
