Is there a meaning behind his return?

In the CLOUD DVD trailer, Versus Guy comes out of his domain only to return to it after fighting. Is there a reason for this? Is he waiting?

He seems to be brooding - depressed, quietly anxious, running away - about something.

that was in the first trailer too. Remember they cut out the part where he gets "ambushed" by the magic user and its friend/enemy the girl.

lol It did happen in the first trailer. It just became more apparent to me after I watched the Cloud DVD one.

After all the fighting, however, it seems as if nothing has changed. He gets up, fights, then goes back and sits down.

There's also an excursion to a desert with his 'friend'. I don't remember where that fits in though.

I think the reason they havent shown any characters in these new trailers publicly is because they are going to completely change them. I dont think they will drastically change the appearance of 'storm', but I do they may change the other characters alot.

Could be. Nomura did mention how they aren't the final designs of the people.

It looks more like Storm is pissed and got bored with the enemy, so he went back inside to think.

I believe the sitting on the throne scene was the same from the trailer that came out long ago...

Kyshia · Dec 15 2007, 08:49 PM

maybe he doesn't want to leave the crystals !

Ultima Star · Dec 15 2007, 10:43 PM

Like you guys say he's waiting ..maybe for the main enemy and yeah..that scene of the hooded person that 'ambushes' him hasnt appeared..and it was due to..

But all the scenes kinda dont fit together cos first he's in the car then he gets out of his..'castle' and fights' then he appears like going down a building and in front of the castle again..and sitting on his throne again so ..

what's wrong with this?
And...damn Square you cut the scene with the hooded guy/girl

Terros · Dec 16 2007, 01:07 AM

All I can tell is that he's giving something a lot of thought, and i think when he opens his eyes something or someone has disturbed him.

Rade · Dec 16 2007, 01:49 AM

We don't see the army at that point, maybe they got scared and stopped fighting, so he gave them a kind of 'Yeah.. good choice.' look before walking away.

Terros · Dec 16 2007, 02:43 AM

I think that they retreated after he went back inside.

Ermis · Dec 16 2007, 04:17 PM

he left the refrigerator door open

That would explain why it looked so cold inside.

I don't really think it has any meaning, but is just some footage that SE put together as a teaser trailer.
They're probably two different parts put together. Cause the part with him in the car and the part with him in the throne room makes no sense.
But, then again, I could be wrong, and he could be waiting for something.

As I said on another topic after observing his eye twitching while he is sleeping, maybe he is having a nightmare. And why not, the whole battle could be just part of his nightmares. That would explain a few things and could be used by Nomura to make us play him as a level 1 noob that can barely jump, despite we all getting impressed by those moves in the CGs.

I really think you've got something there with the whole dream theory.

Dark Vincent · Dec 17 2007, 01:12 PM

Yeah like you said it would explain some of the most obvious discrepancies such as the soldiers getting there while the rest of the city is intact. Also check the logo, maybe I'm pushing it, but the woman does look like she's sleeping/resting, so dream/nightmare/slumber could be part of the theme/plot in question..

Tina · Dec 17 2007, 02:38 PM

One part of the implication of trailers, like I read in the AC Memorial Book <<2,000 YEN BIG TIME!! D:
was that they will never, ever use the same images again in the actual clips in the game. I also dink that the versus guy looks different in every single screenshot. Again, I hope he's not called Storm cuz its just repugnant. argh argh.

Rade · Dec 17 2007, 02:44 PM

I also thought the game might have something to do with sleeping or dreams, but hadn't considered the whole fight to be a dream itself. One thing I noticed about the trailer is that at several points he almost looks like he's about to drop off to sleep; his eye-lids seem to droop a couple times. So I thought, maybe he's going back inside to sleep? Maybe he can't stay awake for very long for some reason.

But I've watched this trailer a hundred times now and I still haven't noticed his eye twitching at the end >.>
