The way Archduke Rosfield is murdered in this scene really caught me off guard and hit hard. I assumed he was going to die, but he doesn't go down in a blaze of glory or anything, just unceremoniously beheaded while he was distracted, trying to make sure his son lived... it's brutal and poignant.

So I can only give 10 points But in my mind I see ℵ₂(=2^ℵ₁) pts. ℵ₀ = number of natural numbers ℵ₁ = number of real numbers ℵ₂ = number of hyperreal numbers

I know it's on-rails but DAMN. The spectacle here is unmatched. This feels next gen in presentation, all the destruction, particles, the sheer detail on the Eikon models. This is impressive.

Not "just saying this". Not kidding. This is probably, for me, one of the best things I have ever played. The feeling I had in the Eikon fight and even before it in the cut scene was unlike anything I can recall. I cant wait to finish this game

Ironic that Clive transformed because he wanted to calm down his brother but Joshua ended up being more in control. It is weird that the vision is 3rd person during the moment of Ifrit is killing Phoenix. Probably to symbolize that Clive is not in control or is someone else controlling Ifrit? Edit: Only a minor complaint. Not a fan of winning in gameplay and losing in cutscenes. After that epic fight how easily Ifrit took down Phoenix was kind confusing. Unless it was because Joshua thought Ifrit was defeated and it was safe. So he let his guard down.

Haven’t seen something so gut wrenching in a game in so long…

Bearing in mind the game mechanics, Ifrit mauling Joshua just felt... obscenely unfair. "But we beat him! With the health bar and everything!" But that really puts you in the same headspace as Clive. It's not just sudden and horrible, it feels... wrong.

The voice actor went so hard at the end

Everything just blends together so well! You've got the absolutely EPIC eikon of fire score in the background, you've got Ifrit jumping from rock to rock, you've got Joshua in his Phoenix from shouting "stay away from me!" it just absolutely ramps up the adrenaline for the battle you're about to be involved in!

Soken is such a master. That ominous music as Ifrit rises is actually a remix of Find the Flame...

Spectacle and story significance aside, the fact that they just straight up went "yeah you remember Asura's Wrath? We're doing that now" and decided to be a QTE-laden downright spectacular rail shooter for this fight was just fantastic. And with the spectacle of it all? It's just absolutely phenomenal. Can't wait to see how the game handles the other Eikon battles.

Gotta say Ben starr has nailed the role of Clive so far. Haven't heard raw emotion from a voice actor like that in a while.

This design of Phoenix is simply so beautiful my favourite.

Not only he has to save the world (?) but also save his soul, find a way to forgive himself. And what a setup this is, a new fresh take on the Werewolf trope, where the protagonist kills loved ones against his own will. It's seriously one of the best prologues in gaming. If they do a shitty anime "but wait Joshua's alive" it will just cheapen the story. I hope they don't.

@NB-bt4wf

Жыл бұрын

Clive, utterly traumatized, may be inhabiting Ifrit without control during the intense battle, which is why he remembers it later at the campfire, but during Ifrit's beating of Joshua, his mind couldn't take it anymore (especially because it's his Eikon form enacting such a heinous act on his little brother) and Clive found a temporary home within Torgal, who has a special bond with Clive and who was witnessing from a different vantage point without the sepia wash. Clive may have special abilities to do so, he certainly seems to have a type of precog ability shown when he's older and seems to feel danger incoming and what direction. I wonder if Elwin was like Clive, Ifrit's chosen, and didn't know it, and nothing truly ever summoned Ifrit from him (and maybe other ancestors), but something flipped the switch with Clive (intense life or death situation, fire storming about him, apydectory nearness, hard and heavy battles, a fellow Eikon summoning, and father the previous container's death, all culminating to Ifrit yanking control or being able to be summoned out to protect the host). Clive also suffers some type of amnesia due to the trauma. I would think it might be a depersonalization added to it from trauma of transformation and trauma of being an indirect tool of kinslaying. I don't think his mother's treatment of him and from her sycophants aided his coping skills growing up, and he likely learned his form of escapism early in life. Something I noticed or seem to notice during a rewatch is, when he's having his sudden migraine and falls to his knees, something of his tone changed, as if he were talking to himself or rather someone else to "Save him" - to save Joshua. It was said in such a grit clear way, not under breath as someone does when talking to themselves. Maybe a small part knows about Ifrit, but at the time only intrinsically and subconsciously understanding he was not alone in his body, mind, and spirit, but also not really knowing it was Ifrit. Edit: The more I think about the Elwin thing, the more I think it may be possible he was Ifrit's Dominant. Clearly death of a Dominant is possible while they are at their most vulnerable (human form), I imagine had Clive not been forcibly transformed into the Eikon Ifrit he would have been immolated with the others and been truly crushed by falling debris. He had several close calls already that night previous. Ifrit eventually said, Nope, that's enough, and was enraged that his cozy situation of being sneakily alive and living vicariously through his Dominant was being threatened. Again.

I think it’s Clive. He doesn’t have control of Ifrit. When he’s pleading with Ifrit you see the scene through the same grainy lens as when we were in Joshua’s perspective as the Phoenix looking down at Ifrit.

@@ougazu32 It’s clive who is yet to have control over Ifrit. If you watch Garuda fight scene, clive turned into Ifrit when Garuda tried to squeeze Clive to death.

@@Caporg3000 not just that. In showcase, they showed a fight scene with Garuda where Garuda tried to kill Clive to death by squeezing him. Clive turned into Ifrit.

My flames may flicker, but they will never die!

I thought Tyler and Wade were going to be Biggs and Wedge.

The finishing blow is so filthy

I love that Joshua is almost like a puppy that's trying to be tough but he actually has the power to back up his words. He also could've easily fallen into the trope of being too scared to use his powers but no, when the time came, he truly fought as hard as he could to save the kingdom. Hell, I didn't even realize the first time playing this scene that he even has a sword! Sets the stage perfectly for his personality later in the game. But can I be honest? I hated pretty much all of the Eikon battles 😅. After the initial glam wore off, I found them chaotic and confusing. I know I died multiple times in the battle against Hugo Kupka during the very, very long Eikon battle at the Fang. I would just rather keep my human form and fight that way. I still really loved this game, though. Already bought the first DLC and we're supposed to be getting another and I'll definitely be getting that one, too (seems it will be bigger than the first, which was already an extra two to three hours).

This Demo alone would be my game of the year, Zelda was great but man this is just on another level.

last time ifrit's boss theme went this hard was with Hellfire. this game is so fucking banger

This is Phoenix theme. While Ifrit theme is Find the Flame.

@@aoto8897 I said it in the sense that its a boss theme that plays when you fight Ifrit

the way my jaw was completely on the floor while playing this for the first time was just insane. this game is unreal.

What in the name of that!? Such brutality. I cried.

so in the end the one who lost control is not joshua but clive?

This is the second time I've heard Logan Hannan playing a young child with a power he can't control, and it STILL breaks my heart every time I hear that terrified little voice.

I know the chances are slim to none. but since we don't see them get evaporated like Murdoch. part of my hopes Tyler and Wade are somehow alive and reunite with Clive.(and hey, maybe their last names are Biggs and Wedge)

They really should have been bigga and wedge shouldn't they?

The "murderer, i kill you i fucking kill you." is what got me to buy this game.

All Hail Naoki Yoshida!!! This is gonna be THE Final Fantasy!!!

I've never seen them kill a chocobo before.

@@spellsnare That was probably the last time FF did a truly disturbing and distressing scene.

I’ll always love how as *soon* as Joshua starts to prime Torgal gets up and is just like “well you guys are fked, later!”

11:42 This scene reminds Evengelion, the scene where Bardiel take the control of the Unit 03, and then Gendo activate the Dummy Plug of the Eva 01, so Shinji watches in horror as his unit slaughters and destroys the unit piloted by a person close to him. Even the screams of Clive reminds me Shinji screaming.

EPIC ❤

I have only 17hours on the game and i can say it. This is MY FAVOURITE GAME ALL TIME. Fucking epic❤

The ONLY THING reeling me into this game IS the Eikon battles. All the other Devil May Cry style gameplay i can totally do without actually, but THIS is what pulls me

The demo made me want to smoke a cigarette when completed. And I don't even smoke. I'll be honest, I wasn't 100% sold on this game up until trying the demo, but WOW. I loved it. I will definitely be checking this out
