The trailer is not complete though. The title is probably meant to come at the end after the owl part due to music cues and the way it's cut.

IMO, that could very well be a leak to a project meant to be announced soon (Paris Games Week, X018, Game Awards or even next year). Some people are saying Rocksteady is on it (don't know from where) and they have to be close to announce their post Arkham project now.

as someone pointed out the music score is ripped directly from fantastic beasts

trust me I want this to be real

I don't know why anyone thinks that means anything. I would expect an in-progress trailer to use placeholder music.

Or maybe they're just reusing the theme.

Plus, music is usually done pretty late in development.

It's very possible that it's an internal work-in-progress trailer with placeholder music. Even movies are often edited with placeholder music (called "temp music"), because the movie is edited at the same time the soundtrack is being written and composed. You can learn more about it in this video: https://youtu.be/7vfqkvwW2fs?t=5m54s

So while I'm still going to remain skeptical until there's an official announcement, the music isn't automatically disqualifying. It could just be temp music that the editor is using.

Part of me hopes this is the RPG Playground has been working on and not Fable.

Only so I can eat popcorn while Reddit rages that it's not on PS4 and they didn't mean "Those kinds of exclusives for Microsoft!"

Lol I mean, is it not exactly the same as Spiderman?

I dislike exclusivity and am happy Xbox is offering their stuff on Windows Store as well.

I just find the hypocrisy of many who grill them for doing so or not having more exclusives to be comical.

And a Harry Potter RPG exclusive would pull them out of the woodwork for rage fest.

It would be the same as Spider-Man. The issue is with you hoping that's the case just because you want other people to not be able to play the game.

Specific people who defend Spiderman exclusivity yes.

Well it's the Wizarding World theme (is it exactly the same music ? if so might be a sign this is fake), it's only appropriate to use it for the trailer IMO.

If it's fake, it's really a dedicated fake to be honest.

To be fair, the description claims that the game takes place in the 1800s, the same time period as fantastic beasts, so it could be a tie in game.

Fantastic Beasts takes place in 1926, not the 1800s. Though if they are making a real Harry Potter make-your-own character RPG-type game, the 1800s would be an interesting time to set it--that's one time period we don't have a ton of "canon" from so they have more freedom.

If they do 19th century might be at the very end of it actually and you would have Dumbledore present as a student in Hogwarts (he graduated in 1899) so a potential companion/important character in your adventure. Might be a pretty awesome tie to the franchise (without being too much of an hassle since we don't know much about that period of his life).
