MIKE NOO oh i mean Tyler., that shit had me dying

you know the game fucking sucks because he didnt post a moist meter on it to not piss off its rabid delusional fans

SIR I EXPOSED CHARLES

Very fitting responses lul. Also this is a year old build and it runs like shit what do you mean?? LMFAOOO

the bots, they are here...

Ff7r demo is the entire reason I cared at all about the remake and picked it up on launch date

@@shikitohno47 Proof?

It’s more of a combat demo because you don’t really have access to much in the beginning. It’s more fair to judge once you have a good bit in your toolkit

Same, the combat looks good to me and I’m historically rather picky about my combat systems.

@@CaulkMonglerit feels even better than it looks imo except for the ekion fights but I assume more mechanics will come in the later fights

​@@CaulkMongleroh do tell, what are some of the games that you weren't fond of combat? (not being antagonistic, just genuinely curious 😁)

@@CaulkMongler Looks? He didn't even show the eikonic challenge mode in this vid which is even more story and there's 2 extra abilities at your disposal other than the phoenix one. You should check out someone doing that mode because it looks even better.

It felt like the red wedding in game of thrones but I spent two or three years with those characters and I cared about the characters here after an hour. They did an awesome job, I hope the rest of the story is as good

Thats what great character writing gets you

Yoshi-P and his dev team are Gundam fans, they won't hold back on killing characters

I mean the new ff games are so tame and toothless they’re afraid to kill characters so this game is very refreshing

"Important characters" is what is meant. I doubt Joshua is dead-dead, given the games logo is literally Phoenix vs Ifrit.

@@HedgehogSpeedSonic My guy Lunafreya was XV's logo.

@@finnmccool5944 you have not played FFXV huh

You mean like Gollum. Truly a masterpiece of our time.

Or forspoken.

@@Nic-San that is soooo true ngl

this is what he does with like half of his videos

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Nic-Sangollum was a true masterpiece. I played a solid of 34 minutes and got everything there was to be gotten from The Masterpiece of a game. If u have not played Gollum u should. It has a whole 15 minutes of gameplay and interesting Mechanics. Insane graphics if u have a an extra 4090 and only a billion Gigabytes. All for a small price of $60-$100

Shit, it shows how bad it is to be an Eikon, you'll probably lose everyone you care and love during your first awakening

I dont wanna be where Titan is walking thats for sure

Shiva probably immediately freezes those around her and Garuda shreds them in the winds. But honestly given Shiva's disposition her Dominant probably makes an effort to transform safely. Garuda is probably okay too. Can't wait to see Bahamut and Odin.

Absolutely, I just love how this game is actually made for adults and damn do they deliver in a 2 hour demo

​@@MarukanitelYeah its worse to be an Icon, because all you are is a tool of war... And your life expectancy probably low

Nier replicant beats it 😂 that game will make you cry multiple times.

GOW 3?

@@Vartazian360didn’t cry once idk knowing they’re robots made me not connect to them more.

@Vartazian360 maybe just a bit, although Nier Automata also has some pretty brutal moments too. I can see FFXVI having some scenes that rivals both of those games

@@amadaquanmodingle3315 GOW3 is gory. Gory and Brutal can be conflated, but you don't see someone accidentally massacring someone they love in GOW. Which is funny because that's the crux of Kratos' backstory. You just never see it. And it's different after you get to know the character too and... they're also just a child.

Honestly, as someone that has played almost all of them(and i mean ALL), this game seems like the perfect jump off point for the new generation. It seems to be completely uninterested and unlinked to anything and everything that came before it except for abstract story and visual elements. You need precisely zero knowledge of Final Fantasy to enjoy this game fully, if you think this is even remotely your cup of tea.

CBU3 has been using actual stage and screen actors for voice work for FFXIV since Heavensward, continuing the philosophy of the FFXII dev team as regards dubbing, and it REALLY fucking shows. The difference in quality in the VA work is stark, especially when you compare it to things like FF7 Remake and KH which are both perfectly serviceable dubs but just don't have the level of quality

@@TheAcad3mici’ve never played a final fantasy game or know anything about the lore, but playing the demo made me legitimately intrigued. there was a lot of stuff and terms to learn but it didn’t feel *overwhelming*. will def get the game once it goes on sale.

@@TheAcad3mic You need zero knowledge of the series for any of the numbered FF titles. And I'd have to disagree that the game seems completely unrelated to anything that came before. It's a huge throwback to the pre-FFVII era (well, and FFIX), in fact, in quite a lot of ways. It is more mature, more graphic, more raw, certainly, but the overall influences are very clearly there. I would agree that it's probably a great one to start the series on though. But that goes for many games of the series.

Final Fantasy is like Gundam these days--a storied franchise, but each entry is basically its own standalone entry that needs next to no knowledge about other ones, besides some universal commonalities, such as what a chocobo is (those fluffy bipedal birds), or the small victory jingle. FFXVI is its own standalone story.

The writing is also excellent. Never expected to care so much about Joshua, Elwin and Clive's instructor. Had a tear in my eye when shit was going down.

I expected Clive to be soft spoken and boring the entire game because of how he's acted before that scene. But WOW man! When he is sad, or worried, it's like a whole different ball game. I love it.

Cringe

almost distracts from the fact that they named him clive

@@MrWumboJumbo how are you mad someone enjoyed something lol

Soken doesn't know how to not go hard, if he had to make elevator music it would make you feel like you're ascending all the way to heaven

@@Spike2276 'Neath Dark Waters and Dynamis are quite chill tho...

He beat cancer!

@@OracleGrouse Dynamis isn't by Soken though, Takafumi Imamura did that one.

I always see lists of people's favorite songs and I am not really a fan most of the time. I did play a lot of FF14 and enjoyed a lot of the music for that one. I was a bit nervous for 16 but the demo has shown that he stayed true to the settings of the game and enjoyed what I have heard so far.

There has been no word on it being a limited-time exclusive as of right now, maybe a PC release eventually but FF7 Remake for example still isn't out on Xbox Who knows how long the exclusivity will remain a thing

@@Stonezorz eh I only care about it coming to pc which it probably will they have a contract for exclusivity until the end of the year

Do it. Honestly you won't regret it. I got the PS5 after a decade of no console, no regrets.

@@Stonezorz we already know its coming to PC eventually. Xbox probably not

just get a PS5. Spiderman 2 is coming later this year so youll need it

Hope that means that the framedrops wont be a problem in the full game and that they achieve stable 60 fps in the full game, i was pretty underwhealmed by the performance in the demo :/

​​@@Lara-pz7mcid you play with framerate mode or quality mode? I played with framerate mode and didn't notice any drops

@@ryder98307 Hell, I played with graphics mode and didn't notice any drops

@@yuugur666 Seems to be an issue for some. In the final Eikon fight right before rebirth, there is VERY noticeable frame drops for me only during one 5 second portion during Graphics mode. Other than that, no bad drops noticed. Hopefully the newer versions fix that, and I am sure they do. Another fun note is that the game prioritizes combat, meaning during combat the frames SHOULD BE always 60fps in Fidelity mode, which does seem to be the case.

@@Soriosh I'm not saying it's not an issue, it just seems like an inconsistent issue. This is a year old demo anyways. Rather, it's on a year old version

Welcome to Final Fantasy, full of amazing composers. 🙂

@@fabiomartinsgoldenberg1207 the score was done by Soken himself, and the combat was done by the same person who directed DMC 5 and Dragons Dogma combat as well so its fuckin brilliant, also helps that they had platinum games and kingdom hearts devs working on this game too

Music is done by good ole Soken. The FFXIV soundtrack is full of bangers as well. He’s the lead composer on FFXIV.

All final fantasy music is legendary

@@moatezmoussi9751 theres like 1 or 2 tracks that are meh but 99% of ff music is great. in my opinion anyway

I agree....what a beautiful team, I was never into final fantasy, but my friend told me to play the demo then I bought the game and now it's my goty. I also installed ff15 from PS+ too.

@@ninjastar4076 15 is great too. Different team that made it, I think CBU1. Very different games but both are really good. 15 gets a ton of hate but dont listen to them lol

Facts. Don't know if I'm just slow and everyone else caught on but I could not believe it when his wife walks out at the end. I hated her the first time you meet her but damn I didn't expect her to do that

People who doubted the head of FF14. I knew this shit was gonna slap.

i haven't played it, but i wouldn't expect it'd to be awesome cause Final Fantasy (see 13 trilogy and 15) but because the FF14 Heavensward team is behind this

SIR I EXPOSED CHARLES

Also I was super surprised from the dropping of F-bombs and other bad words lol Surprised because I'm pretty sure this is a first in the series. Pretty sure all of these games have been rated T in recent times.

​@@p-__Gimme a whiff or cap

@@jatinmarcob2128 y u talking to a bot bro

The final fight in the second part of the demo kicked my ass ngl. I got very overwhelmed by how fast they were.

Thats the good thing about ff you barely need any background knowledge to enjoy it

@@David-mc8in you sure? i don’t understand anything that is happening in the demo

@@josua3 no one does really. Each FF story is self contained. No need to play any others. If you found yourself lost at all in the demo then use the "Active Time Lore" mechanic to learn about people/places/things going on around you. That said, the demo while fucking awesome is the actual prolauge of the game, there is not a lot to not really understand. Its a grand fantasy story, with a lot of characters, plalace intrigue, romance, double-crossing, ya know standard fantasy stuff. Play it again (hell i've playtd it 3 times) and just listen/watch what is happening. As i said, its all fairly standard (though super well done) fantasy stuff.

@@josua3 There's active time lore honestly you aren't gonna understand a lot of the opening if you don't open it and get some of the context.

FFXVI can be your first FF game because none of them tie together whatsoever

Demo was also very good and fun to play. This is how you promote a game. Let people have a great experence with a semi-lenghty demo.

Especially when japanese dubbed games are always lack luster. good accomplishment

@@DecayedPony You still living in 1998?

@BomberDX anytime a English dub comes out of anything Japanese comes out alot of English fans will hate on it. Its like they're afraid of their own language

Ayo, has it been 20 years? Suddenly i feel old

@@D71219ONE I respect and applaud you for being brave enough to openly display how insanely wrong you are

Well if you like FF in general, you're not going to say FF8 is bad simply because it might not be your favorite. I think perhaps FFX is my all time favorite, but FF8 has a special place in my heart anyway because I liked the characters in it alot.

based

same, I had to hear again :)

What a fucking patrician taste in games he has.

FF8 is in my top 15 list of FF games that are not MMOs or FFX-2 for sure

Active Time Lore is such a game changer. Unlike regular datalogs/journals where it frontloads you witj so much information, the ATL only gives you enough at any given moment and it auto updates based on whats happening. Jill mentioned Metia and I immediately pressed that ATL just to know wtf is Metia lol

@@nekotorin bro.. this is not new, its there even in mass effect

@@AlphaAceEX never played Mass Effect. Can you bring up relevant information about characters and locations while in a cutscene in that game?

@@nekotorin do not remember ever being able to during a cutscene, pull up a menu seamlessly that explains the key people, places, things, etc in that moment I’d need info on

@@nekotorinMetia intrigues me. That little red shit in the sky is up to something and I just know it

I went into the demo because I wasn't sold as well. I literally wasn't expecting much and by the end of the demo I was ready to go buy the game. Perfect demo, hopefully perfect game.

FF16 Soken work is God tier even by Soken standards lol. It's literally the best game soundtrack I ever heard in my life so far.

@@Bahamut998 i was going to say you're reaching but damn you might be right

@@kmfdmww3 16 is on course to be the greatest FF game ever, "but, but muh turn based combat!!!" You lot don't realise that people who joined the series with the newer games from will find the old games EXTREMELY boring and monotonous. Maybe back in the day they were great but they're dated as fuck, making this game objectively "better".

@@daeronxi2804 There are also plenty of old fans who found the turn-based combat absolutely boring, but like the characters and story.

Come take a dip in the ff pool. You'll probably get a fully fledged casino and a beach episode out of it. You'll also get to kill god, most likely.

Highly, highly recommend jumping in here, it's very different from any other FF game

@@edwinleskin3112I don’t think that works tbh. If you aren’t a ff fan and got interested because of 16 the others will be slogfests most likely to anyone. This is tight fun action the rest are strategy turn based rpgs. I like this over any other ff simply because it’s not turn based. And I genuinely like the other ffs as well this is just better for my adhd ass.

Japanese games carrying the industry right now LMAO

I made that decision a couple years back and it's changed my life. Genuinely an S tier game franchise

Worth it. Even the pixel games (FF1-FF6) which are soooo good.

all of them have something to love, 4-10 and 14 generally being the best ones to most people

It’s worth it.

I would suggest 10 as the best entry point overall but if you are looking for action combat theres essentially FF15 as the closest then FF7R, FF7 Crisis Core and FF13 Lighting Returns however: Ff7Remake is.. lets say a lore video on FF7 OG helps FF7 Crisis Core is a prequel to FF7 FF13 LR is the last game on the 13 triology. So for action yeah 15 is the closest

I dont know if you need to hear this, but play NieR Replicant if you enjoyed automata. Another masterpiece

Did marvel vs Capcom and dragon's dogma too.
