I will definitely be buying this on PS5 day 1 and PC the second it drops.Looks great. Hope its coming to PC, I'd buy a PS5 for it but rather play it on PC.

For the people that loathe XV I always ask "Did you actually explore the combat system or just hold circle?" The game isn't a masterpiece (My favorites are still Tactics/6/14) But what did you hate exactly? The only thing I actually hated about the game was the random ass summon system. Once I got the combat locked in (beyond just holding circle) the story was decent and the dlc's only made it better.Final Fantasy peaked at 6 (though 4 is the best and 1 is iconic).
7, 8, and 10 were pretty good too.
As for 15, had massive issues and one of the worst cases of "Girl in the Refrigerator" I've ever seen.
After 15 being lackluster and Square having lost it's way so badly when it comes to this franchise, I'll wait a while before playing 16, like I should have done with 15 considering how much they added after release.
Looks good but so did XV. Can’t get excited for FF no more after XIII which ultimately also disappointed.
Those Final Fantasy XIV earnings finally being put to use!Sweet fucking jesus. I don't know where the fuck Square has been since the PS1 days, but this feels like they're fucking back in a big ass way, making the type of Final Fantasy game you have wanted, but they simply have not made in what feels like forever. This looks like it's getting the money and effort and overall planning deserving of a major franchise like Final Fantasy. I feel this game will put it back on the map in a bigger way. Very excited. I don't know how many of you have done it, but I encourage you to go to the website and read up on the underlying lore they've provided about the world and what's most important.
Definitely will be getting day zero when it drops on the ps5.I will definitely be buying this on PS5 day 1 and PC the second it drops.
I still buy certain collectors editions I just don’t open them.I don’t buy physical games anymore but may for this if the CE is awesome.
I wonder if Jun Akiyama is on this project....I would assume he would be mentioned in the key staff list if he was tho..
I believe he is with Yoshida's team, and last thing he worked on was FF12 TZA.
Fair enough, you've convinced me! Day one!
- Combat Director - Ryota Suzuki(DEVIL MAY CRY 5, Dragon’s Dogma and MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2 (All published by CAPCOM))
I think it’s in good hands
Seems a bit more dark and gritty compared to FF12.Why am I getting ff12 vibes. Is it the art? The setting?
No matter what, me likey. I'm a bit done with the cybermagical dystopia worlds that have been featured lately.

I mean Minagawa is Art Director who was basically the Main Art Director for all the Ivalice series and while Maheiro never was the *big* guy (until the XIV reboot) he wrote on Tactics and Tactics Advance as well as Leading the Level Design in Vagrant Story and the Battle System in XII.Why am I getting ff12 vibes.

“Game has some big areas so it MUST be open world.”The game is open world my guy

So, yeah. Not surprising. Both art and setting are made by long time veterans of the Ivalice setting. Would be weirder if it didn't remind you of 12.
Necessary reading folks.
The world is called Valisthea.
In the world the most powerful creatures are known as Eikons (these are the powerful summons basically) and the people who posses the power to wield one are known as dominants. Think of them like Naruto having the 9 tailed demon fox inside of him, and you'll pretty much have a damn good idea of where they're probably taking this stuff. There may even be a crazy ass ritual to forcefully remove one from a dominant, which probably kills them.
The game has 6 different realms.
The Grand Duchy of Rosaria
The Holy Empire of Sanbreque
The Dhalmekian Republic
The Iron Kingdom
The Crystalline Dominion
The Kingdom of Waloed

“Dominants” we can skip the fancy nomenclature… they’re damn Summoners that… summon… Summons.
Nomura's not involved bro. Nomura's not involved.It's FF. You're speaking too soon
Nah Dominants is cooler. I love lore specific terms.“Dominants” we can skip the fancy nomenclature… they’re damn Summoners that… summon… Summons.

Who,name,what ?
She reminds me of my ex, sweet and sexy on the outside and Garuda as fuck on the inside.She's fine AF

I am just as excitedWait just a minute!!! Is that character with the scar/tattoo on his face switching between multiple Eikon powers mid combat!? Basically he's a grown up Clive, so a timeskip takes place during this game. Around level 12 you still appear to be young clive, but as you get to somewhere around level 18 or so, you now appear all grown up, have a strange tattoo on your face, and you now possess the ability to use the abilities of different eikons. The character description points out Clive is somehow blessed with the ability to use part of the Phoenix's fire despite his younger brother Joshua being the dominant for the Phoenix Eikon. As such, he appears to gain the ability to use the powers of numerous other eikons also.
That massive war seems to be a huge sequence/setpiece at the early sections of the game, giving you a taste of the full power of the eikons and more powerful dominants by the appearances of things.
Upper left you see what eikons Clive is using, lower right, where the circle button would be on that command wheel you spot eikon specific abilities.
In the trailer he appears to say "I unite the dominants ...that we may bring an end to the strife..."
I'm also getting some strong attack on titan vibes from this one as well.
Also, based on the trailer, it's possible that specific eikon's may not yet have a dominant or human host? Either that or they simply haven't shown us who their hosts are yet, but in the last trailer we saw
Phoenix is Joshua, Clive's younger brother.
Titan is Hugo.
Garuda is Benedikta
Ramuh = unknown
Shiva = unknown (trailers confirm there is a dominant for shiva)
Odin = unknown
Bahamut = unknown
Ifrit = unknown
As you can tell, I'm super excited about this game.
I am just as excited
Clive seems to be Ifrit (almost 100% on this one) which is why every time you see him fighting another Eikon its Ifrit vs that Eikon in the trailer.
I believe jill is Shiva. I have my reasons I also believe she dies early on, this game is giving me a heavy final fantasy tactics vibe story-wise.
The King of Sanbreque would get my vote for Ramuh. Either him or the guy in the chair next to him, the one that seems to be very dismissive of the entire dire situation being addressed in the throne room. Him being a Dominant would explain that attitude and hubris.
No clue at all about Odin and Bahamut. If you pay close attention when ifrit fires off that fireball at the huge rock creature it's not Titan, so there may be other Eikons as well.
It’ll be one of those nuanced story related things where something becomes the exception to the rule.
yea NOPE.
Also this is the Eikon with no name.
its symbol is different than Titans which can be seen when Clive does Upheaval.
Two Eikons per element for some? Ifrit and Phoenix both fire.
Just search for the witcher serial cast, i can't remember her name right now.Who,name,what ?
Same.This is legitimately now my most anticipated PS5 title, hands down. It's taking me back to my elementary and middle school days when I use to be excited for that monthly gamepro magazine to show up and games like final fantasy tactics 7, 8, 9 etc were just massive events for me.
It's making me wonder if Ifrit overwhelms Clive's body and somehow potentially ends up killing other dominants, possibly even harming his brother too.
Agree. The flat character models in particular stand out a lot due to this exact problem. Everything else looks lit, though.The lighting in this game looks kinda flat, tbh. It really shows that no matter how detailed your textures are, or how complex the geometry is, without next-gen lighting it’s gonna look like a last-gen game. This desperately needs something like Lumen (this is true for a lot of current-gen games, honestly).
At least its not fake French: l'cie, fal'cie, cie'tch, made FF13 hard to follow sometimes, but English derived terms are a lot easier to parse.“Dominants” we can skip the fancy nomenclature… they’re damn Summoners that… summon… Summons.
There isn't a definite yes or no at the moment.please tell me theres party system
Imagine if your dick had a little tongue coming out of the bottom.Mara is on the job!!!
