  Sometimes they just don't exist, though. FF16 has been announced for almost two years, and I don't think there's a single bit of actual, unedited gameplay footage out there.
context: Beautiful sweeping 4k 3-minute trailer. 
  Game: pixel art. >
  
  Counterpoint: the Battlefield 1 trailer. >
  
  The most fantastic trailer that somehow didn’t show a single second of actual gameplay but also accurately conveyed the feeling of the game. That thing was perfection. >
  
  And it was short at less than a minute. >
  
  I refuse to believe this
  Edit: the shortest trailer I could find for it was 1:01 long you little shit >
  
  You're right, I was wrong. The trailer is just over a minute. Still impressive. >
  
  I'll never be able to trust again >
  
  The truth is...the game was rigged from the start. >
  
  Fast food advertising shouldn't exist, as there's never been a single fast food advert that actually showed how the food looks IRL >
  
  Not true, I worked Mcdonalds for 5ish years 
  I’ve made by my count 4 sandwiches that looked like the picture on menu/ad 
  And back when we had the wraps it was amazingly easy to get those photo accurate.
  The issue is when they “look that good” it’s usually has to much sauce or vegetables to make them visible >
  
  Thank you for doing your part! >
  
  Literally just scrolled down and saw an ad for a game with a "Not actual gameplay" disclaimer at the bottom >
  
  Agreed. I hate how games are announced, and it's a good year or more before you actually get a trailer that lets you know what the gameplay is going to be like. >
  
  You don't buy video games because of what you see in the ads, or I hope you don't anyway. The ads are supposed to grab your attention and make you look at a review that does show actual gameplay. >
  
  Why not show the actual gameplay in the game tho? >
  
  I mean movies do something similar they piece together parts of different scenes to make the movie more exciting than it actually is or takes things out of context to make them appear differently. >
  
  Why is this downvoted? It’s literally true. Multiple scenes in the Rogue One trailer/posters just did not appear in the movie >
  
  I feel like we should all blame Sony for this one.. It all started with PS2 E3 videos. >
  
  Dunno, I love game trailers for how they looked. For actual gameplay I will just wait release and see on Youtube. Especially I love gacha games trailers. When I watched Eversoul trailer - I already knew that I want to play it. And yes, I'm playing it on my phone or on pc on bluestacks. Good trailer is a piece of art >
  
  This is a complete insult to BLUR (among other talented studios) and the artistry that goes into video game cutscenes.
  Have you considered that gameplay really isn't the only thing that goes into a game? Aesthetic, mood, genre, setting, story, characters, etc can be explained within a trailer. People really underestimate how much information a non-gameplay trailer can communicate. >
  
  Trailers are meant to get buzz around a game, you do so by giving info on the story telling and making exciting content.
  there is a reason most devs now put out official trailers AND gameplay previews >
  
  But you are not forbidden from watching Gameplay trailers.
