Also Tifa doing her stretch pose <3
It was nice, but... no Red? no Rufus? Hopefully we'll get another one later in the month.
I mean the trailer was announced to be about Cloud. I wouldn't have expected such a trailer to involve any reveals of new characters
Not really. The goal of marketing isn't to reveal main elements from a game, it's to make people buy it. Death Stranding hid the entire gameplay loop until two months before launch and that did all right.True, but doesn't it bother you that one of the main playable characters from this part of the game - Red XIII - hasn't even been mentioned in all this time, let alone shown? And the release date is less than 3 months away now.

I really enjoyed this trailer, and that was just 90 seconds of Cloud being a cocky asshole. I can't wait for him to be a cocky asshole for tens of hours!
A trailer isn't any reassurance that he'll be more prominent in the Remake, and even if it was, there's still tons of time to release a trailer before launch.Except that one of the main playable characters of the game hasn't even been officially mentioned yet, not a hint said or shown of him. They haven't confirmed that he'll even be in this part, and I should think they would show all the playable characters by the time of the game's launch. Considering how they treated Red in the Compilation, I'd have thought you'd want a bit more reassurance that the same thing isn't being done to him here.
Given that this game ends like an hour after when he is meant to canonically become playable, I'd struggle to call him a main playable character. Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Barret's time in the party were always gonna dwarf his.True, but doesn't it bother you that one of the main playable characters from this part of the game - Red XIII - hasn't even been mentioned in all this time, let alone shown?

That “Ooh I’m dangerous, stay away” line is perfectly the Cloud Cloud wants to be.
Also, yeah, that smirk is so swoon. He’s definitely realizing he’s made it — he’s getting the reactions he’s wanted all his life.
