Final Fantasy XV launched on Tuesday to high praise and with it came a new trailer called Ride Together, something that I found atrocious. As the name suggests, the trailer is all about how bro-y FF15 is and that the game is anything but an RPG, missing the essence of what makes a Final Fantasy game. Learning a thing or two from Sony’s PS4 commercials, Square has also released Final Fantasy XV Stand Together live action trailer which not only tugs at your heart strings, but also captures your imagination and reminds you why you fell in love with the series in the first place – fantasy. Hard to imagine both pieces coming from the same company.

From an appropriate song by Florence + the Machine (versus Eminem whom I like but wow does that song feel forced on the game) to imagery that resonates so much after a summer that debuted Stranger Things, this is what Square needs to be running on every TV channel they can – though I could have done with the last 10 seconds which take you a bit out of the live action aspect.

I assume after Ride Together and Stand Together, that Square will follow up with Die Together? What do you think of it?
