There's been a bit of a hubbub over the new Final Fantasy XV trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wT3dyanB3pk], and it just hit me that the first trailer for this game (then called Versus XIII) came out back in 2006.

<youtube=kuWmF0uBgqQ>

It's been 8 years since then. For most of the teenagers that populate this site, that was a lifetime ago.

I'm curious about how Escapists here perceive... the flow of time. I'm 22, and for me, 2006 doesn't feel that far off. To me it feels like the '90s is still the last decade and I'm forever stuck in the 2000s, even though I'm almost halfway through the next decade. It's a little disconcerting when I start counting the years.

What about you guys?

I was 21.

Man...it really has been a long time; I'm now pushing 30.

As a side note, I think I preferred Noct's original design; it just seemed more badass.

21. I had just finished playing my first FF (VII) and was trying out FF I.

I remember some friends being hyped for FFXII..I think it was XII.

Depends when in 2006 the trailer was released. If t was before December 26 I was 12, otherwise 13 years old. Either way it still looks better then the XIII trilogy.

I was 10, of course at the time I cared little for JRPGs and so knew nothing of this game. It wasn't until my obsession with Kingdom Hearts lead me to hear of Vs XIII, and that caused me to just want it to come out so I'd get my final Kingdom Hearts game. Now I'm excited for the game on its own merits. Dammit Nomura.

11-12. Damn, I didn't even know it was a thing until like 3 years ago.
Crazy to think that in-engine stuff looks basically as good as this pre-rendered video.

Fucking hell, I have started and finished secondary school and done a year of university since then...

This game is very late.

Damn, I'm 23, so back then I was 15. I was 3 years away from graduating high school, and now I'm a year out of college. That's...pretty crazy. But about as crazy as HL3 though, lol.

Captcha: how are you. Oh I'm fine, thanks for asking. So, uh...when did you become self-aware?

June of 2006? I was 17 years old. It's hard to believe that I'll be 26 this December.

how is this game still being funded? I mean, if I backed a project and 8 years later it still wasn't done I would probably sue.

I was 20 I think. Just embarking on the grand adventure that has been almost a decade of vidya and anime filled unemployment.

It's been a long road, but I don't think I'll be 30 before Squeenix goes broke and disappears.

Oh holy shit. Eight years ago I was twelve.

Did that trailer really come out eight years ago? That really, really doesn't sound right.

2006? So I'd have been 25 back then.

Now, given that I accidentally read the title of this thread as "How old were you when the first Final Fantasy came out?" (to which the answer in my case is six) I'll put that question to the rest of the thread... :)

2006, that would have been me at 8 years old. Wow.

Eight years is an awful long time... I guess we'll see soon enough.

Hmm. June of 2006. I must've been 16. It was good times. I had survived a very unpleasant time in life, and things were looking up. I remember Oblivion standing and delivering, too. Good times.

It feels like it could've been sometime back in the Permian era, now. Things have come, things have gone. Friends made and lost, weddings and funerals attended. Eight years is a long time.

So. Just what have they been playin' at for all these years?!

Before my time, I'm afraid. Considering it's older than I am, it's a bloody long final fantasy they've got going, innit?

I suppose if you're going to have a final fantasy you'd probably try and make it last as long as possible. :D
