I mean he openly admitted that he lost in an ign video prior to this, I'm sure he's still skilled regardless but it would make sense to assume he also practiced lol, so if practicing before a presentation puts you on a whole other level then sure. I think it would be more impressive if they gave a dev some sort of secret boss challenge he's never fought before, then to me if he did so well against it the dev would be on a whole other level

​@@novum2915I think what he meant of Japanese devs being on "a whole 'nother level" is that they actually "play" the game. They play the game and are actually trying to get good at it rather than playing it just to playtest and check for bugs. Other devs are usually just playtesters and are not that interested in the game itself. I guess that's what makes Japanese devs on "a whole 'nother level."

@@novum2915 looks like you're doesn't even know many dev doesn't even know the mechanic of their own game lol

Both of you are saying this as if every dev on the FF16 team would have been able to play the game this skillfully, yes obviously there are playtesters and people who just search for bugs and every other role as well, but what I am saying is that I'm sure they didn't just pull a random guy who programs the wall collisions for example lol, the original comment is too broad and general was the main point of my first comment So what both of you are saying makes perfect sense, I can agree that Japanese devs are dedicated and it's super cool to see them play their games so well, I think of Sakurai with Smash Bros and how good he actually is at Smash, but a dev or a certain group of devs playing their game to make sure it's actually playable and fun is also not the most surprising thing I've ever heard of

​@@novum2915 take the L you going down too deep. Ur back is against the 🧱.

BRO LMAO

Blizzard IV devs? Wtf drugs are you on

@@bryannicholas2130 ?

Probably a bot ​@@dm8in

Damn that’s awesome, makes a lot of sense too. No wonder the combat in this game feels so clean

@@ConfusedGeriatriche actually said it’s his masterpiece in this game. Hope it’s not his last game though.

This explains a lot

No offense but if that's the case I expected more from him

​@@desmondlau1385Weak ass bait, nice try though HAHAHAHA

No he is not. He was one one of the main designers in DMC and gameplay lead designer in Dragon's Dogma

@@ED-dx7jx ah my bad, at least I was close enough tho lol

New game plus you gotta be careful they hit alot harder especially that high level hunt dragon bro is not to be messed with

I struggled a bit with this boss too. Especially when he surrounds you with that ranged sphere attack AND tries to melee you at the same time.

I fought him with the berserker ring and it made the fight really fun because of how it changes the dodging mechanics

The boss isn't hard at all, especially this one. Spam raging fist to destroy its stagger and just abuse titan, then limit break and unleash hell when it's staggered. Svarog is tougher

@@ShowtimeLaw Svarog is a whole different beast of course, but this one isnt exactly easy. not everyone uses raging fists either, i didn't. its difficulty mainly comes from its swing timing, its annoying. now an easy S class is the Chimera, that thing was a joke.

link the vid!

that's how game devs should be tbh... if they are passionate with their game and even managed to beat any challenge in their game without breaking a sweat, you know the game is gonna be great and balanced.

​@@S_F_SThe ARMS tournament is from 2017, the only one I found where the champion battles the dev kzfaq.info/get/bejne/or-jaaWo2ZbJZ6M.html

unlike blizzard dev when playing diablo 4 huh?

The "game" journalist who played cuphead and can't even pass the tutorial 💀💀💀

There's a reason that the timely accessories are there, now the game journalists can actually complete a game for once.

​@@renamamiya3190but they still roasting the game, game is to easy they said 😅

​@@renamamiya3190timely accessories assistance is basically a way for developer said "git gud" For gaming journalist or any bad player who cant play this game. Thou i admit i'm still using one of the accessories for torgal only so i can execute combo more flawlessly

It shameful that game journalists aren’t even gamers at times.

In the ancient word of the elden lord, "get good". 😂 you will get there.

That's what happens when you pit a DMC dev against a DMC style game. He probably has the top 1% of time playing the DMC titles. Literal thousand of hours.

@@davidpotts7116 just use the rings even on fantasy mode there not hard if you use the ring of timely strikes and ring of focus or what ever its called you can kill the level 93 dragon hunt its like level 50 on your first playthrough pretty easy even at mid 60s

This is Ryota Suzuki himself, the combat director of DMC and FFXVI. From our POV, it's like an amateur writer vs George R R Martin.

I mean this guy literally develops the systems so he put over 1000 hours in it.

Yeah I am almost at the end of normal game, and I have a pretty good damage build, where diamond dust does super good stagger, then a bit more fumbling around with normal attacks and a few abilities and then when the boss gets staggered I rain all my abilities on him and get like 100k damage.

This is why you should practice for every presentation

No. It easy to play. 😂 And why would you quit anyways. Stupid reason.

@@kg888 Easy to play he says lmao. I'd like to see you try what he did tho. Also he's underlevel by 15 against an enemy with a LOT of HP.

@@ShiroganeKaiseryou just gotta not get hit, which is pretty easy to do too

@@ShiroganeKaisermost people are under leveled when they do it because of how early you unlock it

It was cute they asked him to stop to pet the doggo

@@rosenrot234 Yeah. I did as well, and got the achievement really quickly.

Well he did work on DmC 5

Is it obligatory to be a Dante main in Capcom's DMC team

@@redsusoverparadise2700 yes

Honestly it acts and looks like DMC to me.

@@redsusoverparadise2700 the parry does looks like Dante's royal guard

They probably have millions but it’s not too bad you deal decent stagger damage in new game plus

They do have the fastest cooldown if you pull them off correctly

And I did not know you could put Judgment Bolt on Phoenix. Totally changing things up now with some mix and match

It totally depends on your game style. These abilities are counter abilities so not good for everyone. I’ve seen some wild builds out there, like ones where eikon abilities enhance each other for insane damage. Like will of the wisp from ifrit and the lightning bolt from ramuh, ifrit ability actually hits the bolt and increases dmg even further to insanity. Every ability in this game is good depending on build.

@@No1AldamonFanGirlyou can put any ability on anything if you master it. Across 8 eikons that leads to insane number of builds.

Heatwave is the best basic in the game.

Woke devs 😂

Gigaflare is a chad and so is Odin's blade

I stuck with rumuh, Garuda and Phoenix for this fight

Atlas is probably the easiest S-rank hunt to normal parry, so Titan isn't necessary. But considering the other choice at this point was ramuh, I guess Titan is mandatory.

Or when the game is just easy as hell.

@@user-ht4kp7py2c My opinion of his fight here, changed dramatically after having played the game and beating it. He’s really not that good at all. But that might be a bit unfair because he’s likely very nervous playing in front of a crowd, and that adds a level of difficulty I’m not facing at home lol But if we were to judge based on the gameplay alone, it’s not impressive considering it is quite an easy game. Haven’t started FF mode yet though

@@Snyde91 I beat the game on action mode and it was a terrible, no challenge, repetitive experience, and deleted game from library. Easily one of my most disappointing gaming experiences ever.

@@user-ht4kp7py2c I didn’t feel as strongly about it as you but I can understand that. I enjoyed the game overall and the Eikon fights were the highlight for me. Going to leave it for 6 months or so and then try FF mode to see if it’s a fun challenge, but I really can’t see it being too difficult unless it adds a lot of mechanics to fights. The dodge-window is way too forgiving for that imo

it's dog what?

​@@turenaxelightning rod plus gigaflare is the most busted thing in the game.

*making notes*

Because he has a counter build. He has literally only counter abilities.

Hey the 500HP one you get late game and get the exp one so you level faster

How do you other devs don't?

@@jamesjiao other devs only playtest thats it they really dont even like the games they make

Pretty sure that move is a mix of melee that also launches out a projectile when the slash hits .

It's called rook's gambit, you do a backstep then you counter (has a stronger effect if an enemy attack was dodged)

Those are specific bosses you get from a bounty list later in the game. They're rank "S" in terms of difficulty but they're not so hard once you learn some of the patterns. The level gap doesn't matter. I had more or less the same gap when I killed Atlas. Next rank "S" boss after this one is lvl 50 and you can defeat it with a 10-15 level gap all the same. It's one of the easiest Final Fantasy I've ever played and even those bounty elite bosses (that are optional) don't even come close to the difficulty of some story bosses during the PS2-PS3 era of the franchise.
