0:06 - 0:19 An exact reporoduction of the Noctis and Stella scene in the Versus XIII trailer. I love it.

Marin has the same August 30 birthday as Noctis. He's 19. Noctis is stated to be 20 in the May 2016 ATR and website, but the Ultimania and Official Works state that he's 19.

Sari's birthday is on September 6. Lunafrena's (the new character created to replace Stella after the story was reconstructed after the E3 2013 trailer) birthday is September 4. We can assume this would have been Stella's birthday or maybe Stella's birthday is actually Sept 6 and they just gave Luna a birthday close to her. If anyone would know, its Nojima (and Nomura). Sari is 22. Luna is stated to be 24 in V-Jump, but the Official Works has at at 23. Regardless, its very obvious Nojima is reusing Versus XIII material.

Marin and Sari both have near death experiences like Noctis and Stella and gained powers as a result just like they did.

There's a character, Tsumugi, that looks like Gentiana, plus she has "XIII" on her outfit.

Now, the voice actors. All Star cast. We have a bunch of FF, KH, and other SE games like Subaseka voice actors in this game. When I first heard Chiaki's voice in the Direct trailer, I thought "Why didn't they just get Kouki to voice Marin? Aside from being city boy Roxas, he voices Neku in Subaseka which is set in Shibuya". Now the twist is Kouki is in the game. He voices Kuon, who is interested in "art" like Neku and is dressed in purple like Neku. Neku's birthday is April 21. Kuon's is April 15. Intentional casting. Akari Kito (Shoka) and Yuma Uchida (Rindo) return to Shibuya (from Shin Subaseka) as well. Intentional casting. Chiaki voices Matt in FF7 Ever Crisis and Yuichiro Umehara voices Sephiroth as a boy in Ever Crisis and Ira in KH. Morikawa voices Sephiroth in KH/FF. All 3 are in this game. And much more. NORIO!!!!! I'm so happy Wakamoto is voicing in this. He doesn't get much roles like he once did.

Sari's DLC outfit is amazing. I hope it can be obtained while playing.

I can see some complaints about the disparity of the in-game graphics versus cut-scenes, but the combat looks like could be fun.
