"Every game needs an epic scene for battle, and this concept art doesn't disappoint. This illustration is of the Niflheim troops heading toward Titan. Can you feel the tension? According to artist Kenji Niki,"This single picture captures the overwhelming and heteromorphic presence of Titan, awaiting the onslaught of the Niflheim troops and their cutting-edge weaponry."

from game informer newest article

so we can assume the mess that will happen in Altissia is because Niflheim is trying to destroy Leviathan?

That absolutely makes sense, since that is what the E3 2013 trailer was depicting-you could see Noctis warping from combat airship to ship as Leviathan was writhing below creating the whirlpool!

If you pause the the video at 1:56, you can see the cover (upside down) of the only book he goes out of his way not to show us....Therefore, I screenshot it and then flipped it in paint. Seing the dark cover, the two views of a semi-circular large building like structure, and the main attraction, that bird with a redish head and distinctive crest (although the beak doesn't look right) Still, it insantly reminded me of: secret.png
If anyone can read that Japanese writing at the top, it may give us a clue to what it really is for sure! It looks like mostly kanji at the beginning with a few katakana leters at the end (so *something* i wo?)

What are you talking about? He was the best out of everyone they had...

The only thing you can really read is タイタン (Titan)

Ah ha, so the kanji before that is totally unreadable?

Edit:
Alright, lol thanks, I guess Dan did a good job of obscuring everything he needed to, that page still seems suspiciously heavily plot related to me..please just put me in the cryo until september 30th. People weren't kidding when they said this final six months will be almost harder that the 10 years so far has been! I'll try to hang in there and not go (more) insane than I already have...

They must not have said too much since there's not a whole lot out there summarizing anything. So I will summarize what is summarized out there:

-Nothing was said that we don't already know
-They all thought the cars rides were kinda boring because you don't do anything.
-The amount of cut scenes in the chapter they saw "felt right" and it's not like MGSV where they're basically nonexistent.

So, between those first two things, I'm not sure it's worth a listen. Not having anything to do while in the car is kind of the point (except for listening to FF music, but I'm guessing that wasn't implemented yet). Sometimes, this game will make you stop and smell the roses. It's in juxtaposition of the crazy action sequences. This isn't Speed, it's Breaking Bad. Take those 5 minute car rides to enjoy the scenery. Or to text people.

So, anyway, that they didn't recognize that games don't need to be all action all the time, I can't imagine there's anything in there that is particularly useful except for the part about the cutscenes.

This guy's take. Some of that stuff is interesting actually. Edit: And some other interesting bits have been added. If you can stomache/skip some of the gamefaqian replies, there's some good stuff in there.

Also, I'm not sure if anyone's seen this one yet or not but:


Has about 4 seconds of new stuff, lol. at around 9 seconds, Gladio is being awesome. The whole thing is, IMO, a pretty damn effective 30 seconds showing off this game. If I wasn't already obsessed with this game, I would be after that.
