New Final Fantasy XV 'Episode Duscae' Trailer Revealed Alongside Dramatic Footage For Type-0 HD [VIDEO]

Come For The Final Fantasy XV Trailer, Stay For The Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Trailer!

The first scene of the new Final Fantasy Type-0 HD trailer focuses on a single soldier - one of the myriad of characters found in the game - alone, defeated and bloody. He lays against a dying horse, also soaked in blood. He lets out a cry that only one who has come up short, who is angry at the cards dealt can bring forth.

What is he saying? I have no idea. It's all in Japanese yet despair needs no translation. 

Another soldier, Ace I believe his name is, watches on half in sympathy, half in curiosity. It's a bitter scene, one that praises the sweet gift of life and rages against its ending like a hurricane.

That's the thing about JRPG trailers in general, and FF trailers in particular: they're epic, swirling melodramas of the highest order, relishing the grand spectacle of it all. They embrace their drama, and while you may never know what's happening, you can certainly appreciate the wonder and emotion.

I hope this latest trailer, which debuted during Square Enix's latest Active Time Report the other day, gets a lot of people interested in the grittiness of Type-0 D. Most came for the snippets of slightly more non-camping related footage of Final Fantasy XV attached to the end, but some must have been swayed by the Type-0 HD portion.

The XV trailer gives us a few more looks at the newly revamped (and curvaceous) Cid, the game's mechanic character, plus a look at some of the monster battles you and your band of misfits can expect to take on.

A localized version of the latest trailer will be coming soon, but for now, bask in the emotions and the beauty of it all. Watch below.

Type-0 HD arrives in North America on March 17 for PC, Xbox One and PS4. Pre-order it to gain access to the FF XV Demo, titled 'Episode Duscae'.
