Damn sucks you couldn't make it to the event
I really hope the game is more interesting than it looks. I’m sorry Pez. But I don’t feel the heart and soul from it. It feels bland. It’s missing what was catching about FF10 and FF9. I’m hoping I’m wrong about that and the trailers are just showing more combat to hold off for when you play. Which I can get behind.
What is “expection”?
As per usual, when a game is far away, I'm not even remotely excited, but now that it's only a few months away, my own personal hype train is leaving the station! 😀 I hope this game is great.
Clive coming in with Shang-Tsung soul sucking abilities! 😀
Not sold yet loads of 3rd person single player action sword games on there way now it has to stand out from those instead of it being its own thing fingers crossed
0% shame 0% clickbait 100% unbridled excitement
Something that stood out to me in all this is that Cid was able to remain in control of himself while in Ramuh form. We know that Clive could not control himself as Ifrit, but it seemed implied that he had never done it before, so that makes sense.
Benedikta is a little less clear though. She's pretty mean and ruthless all on her own, so it's hard for me to tell whether or not she's in control of Garuda or if she's just in full-on rage mode. I wonder what determines the ability of these people to control their powers. Willpower? Practice? The right state of mind? Maybe a combo of things? It'll be interesting to learn more about the relationship between Eikon and Dominant in this game.
I hate to say this but all the zooming and shaking of the camera is making me nauseous. I hope there will be a way for the player to adjust it
It's hard for me to get hype for it as turn based is completely gone and it looks like a soulsborne game to me.
Congrats on 100k subs by the way Pez!
I would take her offer in a split second lmao
The real takeaway is the Dog is the real protagonist or at least Hero.
This is a game of the year contender also breaking news Yosuke Matsuda will no longer be President of Square Enix
I am a new younger fan to the series and this game has no hype with people my age at all for some reason. I am mega excited
6:24 Pfff I would had done the same thing. That dog with be annoying as hell to deal with while fighting Clive. So she still gets my full support.
I've bought this have twice. The physical deluxe version, and the digital version. I'm oh so hyped for this game YO! Let's GOOOOOOOO!!!!
7:26, that's like the Fight from Asura's Wrath on the moon… The second phase…
You must see it😍
Cid in this game is just Pez lol
Am I the only one who sees this as a QTE button mashing mess?
16 out of 10
This is what I’m talking about !! When final fantasy is up against things like gow, horizon , ghost , this is how you compete can’t wait game looks amazing
To me the ifrit and Garuda fight theme sounds like it has a bit of Garuda's theme from 14, not sure if that's actually true the beginning just sounds like it, but I think that's cool
So Basically…. Clive is becoming Eren Yeager?
Download the mp4 in future lad.
I want to be excited…. But from the beginning and still I'm just not getting that true Final Fantasy feeling in my heart…hmm
I'm an 11 out of 10 certainty that FFXVI will bring back Final Fantasy.
bad vibes from 16
Stealth Missions…this is thancred….despair
Anyone else noticed there's some heavy parallels between the Dominants in this game and the Titan Shifters in Attack on Titan and some story beats? spoilers for AoT
– Dominants = Shifters, special people who can transform into giant monsters at will
– Giant monsters have regeneration powers
– Some nations view shifters as nothing but war tools and/or are heavily discriminated against, even demonized
– Shifter powers drastically reduce the user's lifespan
– By defeating other Shifters, the MC can obtain their powers
– A seemingly random giant monster destroys the MC's home (Colossal Titan = Dark Ifrit) and takes someone dear to him, sending him in a desperate quest for revenge (Joshua = Eren's mom)
– Eren: "I'll kill them. Every single one of them" => Clive: "I'll kill you, if it's the last thing I do"
And this is speculation, but if Pez' theory of XVI's Goddess being the source of the Eikons and for that reason they can't go against her (the whole Eikons with a golden halo thing), it's the same as Ymir the Founder Titan, who is almost an unstoppable force in AoT since she can control their will, alter their memories and take away their powers WITH THE EXCEPTION of Eren's Attack Titan, who is the embodiment of free will and the only one who can go against the tyrannical Goddess.
Also this would make Pez' idea of Clive becoming the villain/demon by the end also a match for the end of Eren's arc in AoT, where his lust for vengeance and radical vision for world reformation take him in a nearly genocidal direction, and the nations that were at war with each other now have to band together and even his old comrades have to put a stop to him before he does irreparable damage.
Did Clive do Ora Ora Ora
