He just dont wanna party bro.

@cubethepixel3025 or the kid is just grappling with the imposter syndrome (or whatever the correct term is) and feels Joshua is cared about only the phoenix. This makes sense since the only reason he's there is because he carries the phoenix.

​@@matthewapril3119 inferiority complex, but you are right, clive earned the respect of his men and joshua longed to be treated the same way he is, not because of his power.

play a Nier title

@@toilachon thanks I knew imposter syndrome was the wrong one. Shame the kid never grew out of it.

The music is amazing, even though for me Final Fantasy, and SquareSOFT music will always be defined by Nobuo Uematsu, the music here was equally good.

@@peterg4130 Though true, Uematsu considers Soken as one of his proteges and now considers him as his equal, especially after ShB and EW release. The funny thing is that Soken trained as a chemical engineer first but ultimately got bored of the job nad went into music. There are tons of videos about his philosophy in music nad experiments with all sorts of music that Uematsu never touched. some of his pieces also just us random items to make sounds too.

@@peterg4130 This is not a competition, they’re both very successful composers

The music is great, but most of what i heard were new renditions of returning classic FF themes, certainly not original melody composition. - not a complaint, its probably my favourite part.

Yea one sounded like a remix of ff 8 battle theme

I pre-bought the full game but also bought Diablo iv, so I was thinking about just enjoying the game to its fullest extent spoiler free when it comes out. Or is this demo good enough to just play it now?

@@Nead_Dill_Dickersons_jr I recommend playing the demo as you can carry over progress from the demo to the full game, including not having to replay what you do in said demo. But of course that all boils down to personal preference, so if you wanna wait till the full release that's fine too, you're not gonna miss out on anything unique.

@@Nead_Dill_Dickersons_jr Both are good options, I say you wait till the game releases

Clive was helplessly watching as he was beating up Joshua, since he wasn't in control of ifrit

clive VC is actually really good so far... not a fan of joshua (pretty sure same VC as in the plaque games, he's young so forgivable) but yeah, the direction FF is taking with this is something im a major fan of... cant wait for release!

Fr, when I saw it had everyone doing these British accents I was afraid it was gonna be like FF14's voiceover but it is more like FF12 where it doesn't feel super anime-y and they also got age appropriate actors instead of women doing hyper anime little kid voices and shit. So pumped for this game after playing this demo last night

Watch that scene in Japanese it is way more impactful

@@Zeldarulah Yeah they knocked it out of the park with this one! FF14 Voice over was still decent in my opinion, also don't almost all medieval fantasy games have British accents if they're speaking English? would be a little jarring hearing a cali accent or a new yorker (though that would be entertaining in its own right) cuz it would break emersion a little

Uh to the people talking about 14's voice work... Which VA work are you referencing...? The ARR stuff or the HW stuff?

@@DameonStarflame Both were pretty horrid. Switched to Japanese in SHB when the Scottish fairy showed up

Unfortunately, Baldur’s Gate 3 won GOTY. Clive’s VA didn’t even win an award because the internet would get pissed if Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t win every single award.

Shit was hilarious

​@@Hydraclone yeah, that wasn't a scream of rage. That was a scream from a broken man.

Not to be that guy, but the Japanese dub of that scene was infinitely better. Just search it up before potentially attacking me ^⁠_⁠^

​@@hadomatsu No it wasn't. No it was not. The English one sounds amazing too, Japanese voice acting is only fitting for anime as it's often overdramatic, nobody talks like that IRL. Japaness ≠ good dude. Even in anime. Stop riding that language.

@@hadomatsu it depended on the person case by case. if somebody who not accustomed with anime/japan languange there is a posibilities that they've might not like it. it also the other way around, if you not accostomed with english there is possibilities that you prefer japanese voice acting. and there are also people who might loved both language at the same time or hate both of them and prefer german over them both. thats why its good W for the dev team giving people the option to choose which one they like as long that voice actor have the same standart as english voice actor that already great imho.. ( i cannot judge other language voice actor since im not looking at it yet/ maybe dont understand it even if i do, so its not that im using english voice actor standart for ego reason and have any prejudice/ biased toward other language).

@Big Tatsu FF7 is their magnum opus

@@davidpowers9178 no one ever said 15 was the magnum opus. Literally no one ever. Even fans of 15 (like me) never said it was the greatest thing ever created. It is VERY flawed, but it's still an incredible experience anyway. Sure, I hate pushing that car for like 10 minutes at the start of the game, and the story when you fight Leviathan and afterwards is very rushed. (Should've had more actual interactions with lunafreya before then, because it was clear her death was supposed to be tragic, but like you literally just met her basically). Still, I enjoy the game and it was a bold concept. But its flaws were visible from the start. This game doesn't have those. Sure, it's a little too cutsceney, which isn't a huge problem since it's a pretty large prologue in terms of story. Too much combat would've drawn it out too much. Otherwise, the story, concept, characters, and soundtrack are all done very well. Haven't done the eikonic challenge to feel the later game combat, but it's an interesting approach to FF combat. I have a feeling this will go down as one of the most famous FF's in history, probably since 7.

@@davidpowers9178 ya no ever said that. 15 was boring and lack luster. ff7 remake killed 15.

@@cr7thebestplayer100 The original is one of the weakest Final Fantasy games, full of flaws and has lackluster story and the added content doesn't help it one bit and makes it even less sensible. Maybe they can fix the issues on the remake trilogy, but they will need to change the shape the story with heavy hand - I am cautiously optimistic.

as a not-fan of FF (except the first and 2nd on NES) I have no idea what people like about this series. It makes me cringe with the over the top everything and angsty teen edginess. I don't get it but I'm aware they're probably excellent games for fans

yoshi-p is not a writer. i love the guy as much as anyone but he's a producer, he produces the game. mostly behind the scenes work.

@@ItachiKai You're not wrong, but Yoshi-P's influence is a large part of why the game will probably be so good. Many artists in the games industry aren't given the time or budget to actually showcase their talents, as so many studios suffer from publishers sticking their nose in, or horrible mismanagement of time and work efficiency. Yoshi-P isn't an artist,writer, or programmer, but he is damn good at making sure each of the talented people in those roles get the time they need to polish their part of the game up to standard.

@@dinohunter321I’m fairly certain he’s also a senior software engineer, which is a key part of why he’s a successful lead.

@@tcan225 A lot of hard work. Whatever it is, its a lot of hard work

@@dinohunter321 the things you mention would be part of the director and the SE executive suite (of which yoshi-p is a member) but still, people are over-crediting yoshida to the detriment of the reputation of the others who are playing a bigger role in XVI.

I know times have changed and this games story is great so far and it’s very serious

Ff12 have British voice acting too.

@@notslucis9977 They specifically casted English theater actors for 12! It really came out in the performance.

It helps that they cast English actors for both the voice and mocap first, and therefore the Japanese is purely a dub for the first time in FF history.

I actually love how the magic demonstrated that it has a toll on the user. When Joshua used Fira and Curaga, it felt like the usage of high level magic almost kill him.

​@@zeroskaterz92 I think Joshua's reaction to his magic use is because he was sick

@@chaosvii4605 you could say using it was sick

I think the fact we get to play even just a tiny bit of Joshua is sort of like ‘gameplay foreshadowing’ that we’re gonna get other story moments playing as the other characters. FF14 pre-Shadowbringers used this as a bit of a surprise where you got to control the story characters at parts, I assume this game will do something like that later in service of the story

@@BladetastersDelight or maybe it's just like jedi survivor where you play as cere for literally like ten minutes and that's it. (no hate to survivor, great game, but if you're going to have us play as another character, that chance was a bit wasted)

Delete your save file and when the full game comes out you can start all over

I am probably going to play it 2-3 more times and still start from the scratch when the full game is released xD

Bro your friends need to get out of the 2010's graphics aren't important anymore.

@@theNEWMASKSdudexxx What is important then? I find graphics equally as important as gameplay.

@@hexerei02021 Gameplay is king. Everything else comes second, based on preference.

@@AkaroXIV Ok, but I won't play a game with great gameplay and shit graphics and vice versa. Both are equally important for me.

0/10 bitrate lol

Without big flashy impacts, the actual 'impact' of the spells would feel 'weak'. Imagine if a giant firaga barely splashed as much as a fire for example. I'm happy they went that route.

Idk the theme in that chick’s battle felt a bit off imo. Otherwise it was pretty great.

The flashiness in spells is the biggest part of the spell imagine firaga was a light candle spark.

How is the combat 10 when it was this easy?

I hope you consider playing FF7 original, followed by watching Advent Children Complete! FF7R's story diverges quite literally, and because the canon story ghosts are gone, things are gonna be quite different, but its all colored by the original game. Advent Children literally has scenes in Remake as a reference, implying quite a lot. I also hope you consider playing 4, 6, 9, 10, and 12, all very different games but iconic for their own reasons. There are rumors that Rebirth will take some inspiration from 12's gambit system for your companions. 4 and 6 are iconic, and definitely worth playing to get a taste of what "classic" Final Fantasy is like.

Modern FF games, though awesome, are different from their early counterparts. And I would imagine the old games would be hard to get into, not unless you like turn-based combat and dated graphics. Definitely try them out though! FF6 needs a remake. I personally consider it the best FF game of the series. FF7 was huge partly because graphics engines were getting better and it was the first FF game to utilize 3d models, so it looked way different from every other entry before it. It also helped sell a lot of Playstations, being the first Final Fantasy game on PS. I was one of those gamers who had to have a Playstation so I could play FF7. That and the original Resident Evil 2 came out at about the same time.

Dude you must not miss the legendary ff 6,7,8,9,10

I reacon if you like anime style or Japanase culture, play 10 next 😃

@@SuperBenno7 I mean, its technically inspired by south-east asian culture but yes, Yuna at least is very Japanese.

He is

He isn't, he just a producer.

​@SS KK he is, its him and his creative team. The same team that has been responsible for the content in Final Fantasy 14. They even got Soken in here creating the musical score.

@landrybt 'in charge' typically means Director. he's a producer, so he's involved. but to say he's 'in charge' is a misunderstanding of what a producer actually does.

With such a dark story I really hope it has a bright and happy ending 😊 I like Joshua hopefully he is alive somewhere.

This is not FF. It is DMC with a FF 14 skin attached. It has no buinsness being a numbered FF title. Spin-off maybe.

​@@ChrisGrump oh no, another turn-based guy who forgets that final fantasy always experimented with its combat

@@ChrisGrump Sadly for you it is a numbered FF. Ask anyone what they like about and the answer is always because of it's story, characters, graphics or music. Combat is rarely mentioned because it was never their selling point nor what they are famous for (heck even X's nor XII's combat wasn't as great as the other turnbase games of that era).

@@ChrisGrump Oh look, an FF puritan in the wild

@@ChrisGrump I played the demo, it plays nothing like DMC lol Maybe educate yourself before spouting nonsense

​@@DawnAfternoon i mean clive shouldve pooped joshua out by now , revive from poop maybe ?

I have so many thoughts on this. In the trailers we see Phoenix fighting Bahamut??? So clearly there are shenanigans going on. Not to mention, the filter we see as Ifrit is decimating Phoenix looks like the "POV" filter like we see from Joshua when he sees Ifrit the first time, while we hear Clive's voice. Is it actually Clive that turned into Ifrit, or was there another person there that turned into Ifrit??? We see Ifrit fighting Ifrit in the trailers, too, so there are just no clear answers right now.

It’s Yoshi P and FF14 team they never disappoints! 😊

They had to do some heavy lifting due to the other square-enix f ups. It's square enix tradition lol.

Yoshi P made it so FF14 online doesn't have NFTs, a battle pass, loot boxes, gatcha and the even game shop is seperate from the game. He's doing all this despite being until Square Enix's bullshit. He's a true old school gamer who cares about making real games from day one.

I agree, but xbox gamers highly disagree lol

And that's supposed to be a good thing? Since when did games playing like movies become a good thing to some gamers?

@@TheCyclicGamer people who dislike cinematic games and probably just impatient. What else could be the reason?

@@DoomiePookie Maybe because we don't like having our time wasted by shit that just doesn't fucking matter all that much. I'm all for a game having a story and cutscenes and what not, but when it's to the point that the story and cutscenes take the major precedent over the gameplay, then what's the point of even playing it? It's an issue of pacing and not properly balancing game-time and story-time, and so far from what I can tell just from the demo, FFXVI has really bad pacing.

@@TheCyclicGamer thats cool, you’re in the minority of peoples opinions though. You also seem quite mad and butthurt.

@@SolidSnake240 seems to be...

​@@Hemphempmind ok, but you're comparing a prologue of a new game on normal mode, to devil may cry 5 on the highest difficulty. Besides, once you beat 16 you unlock final fantasy mode.

Crazy, but true after playing eikonic mode for a bit. There's soooo much to it. Besides, it's final fantasy 16. Not dark souls16 hardcore leet 3, the prequel.

This one either played FF at 3 years old or didn't at all so far its not that much above the others in that regard

@@deezekii3479 Final Fantasy has always been for kids, it’s just so good that adults can get something out of it as well.

​@@yahhah3027 on the outside maybe but ff has always been fairly dark underneath the chocobos and moogles.. the only FF that actually took advantage of the dark tones and graphical nature of the battles they're fighting is type-0. Which is also brutal if ya just think of the story itself. Kefka from ff6 is one of the most evil video game villains of all time, sephiroth was constantly torturing and gaslighting people and attempted to murder a CHILD. Cecil and kain were ordered to kill an entire village simply because they were summoners, killing a mother in FRONT of the child, who gained pyrophobia (is that what it's called?) From the event. It's just pixelated or lower graphical fidelity doesn't do an amazing job portraying the violent nature of the high fantasy games. But now with things like end walker and 16, you can really feel the gut punches.

@yah hah nah, if anything the lowest is for teenager the way they tell their story is definitely not for kids

bruh say what you want about ff15 but the bromance was top notch

FF15 was a fucking joke, and I never touched the sequels to 13, so I'll take your word for it lmao. God those games were awful. 15 literally expected you to watch a movie, an anime, and DLC to get an inch of character development.

, 13 had great character development, hate on the linear design and voice acting if u want but the characters were the star of that game

Same here, preordered the deluxe edition right after finishing the demo. It was an epic experience :D

We usually advise against pre ordering, but there are situations like this where it's acceptable. An early demo, plus multiple early opportunities for opinions to form with gameplay trials and content creators getting to play. They're basically promising this game will be good, and are excited to show it off. I'm pre ordering myself, I'm excited to get my hands on this game. Even taking a day off for a 3-day weekend to have fun with it.

@@AntiGrieferGames you’re cool

@@DeltaRaven97 Usually there are "Red Flags" like review copies being made available the day before release, only showing cinematic / vertical slices, complete press blackout until day of release, etc. I'm still not pre-ordering because I can't (lack of PS5), but the Final Fantasy team has generated a lot of good will -maybe, for once, a game developer will make good on their promises and not squeeze out a triple-A pile of crap.

@@grampaseri The team already said it will take "a while" for them to finish the PC port even after the exclusive period for PS5 is over. Here's hoping CBU3 will be responsible for the PC version, too, since outsourcing their ports has never done SE any good so far. The good thing is, btw, that the game runs on a customized version of the FFXIV engine, which certainly makes PC optimization easier for them.

Sorry but tears of the kingdom already won this

The thing is it's all about how the quality will stay over time. It's so hard to make a 100h game stay good from beginning to end with a story that stays interesting and well written, i think that's what will decide if this game can be on the same level as something like Witcher. But if the quality of the entire game is the same as it was in the demo man this game could be something very special
