That's exactly what NG+ should be. An extension of the base game that gives you challenging content where your endgame equipment has time to shine, and is balanced assuming you are at maximimum potential, so you can't brute force it with big number unga bunga. People who play once and have their fill are still good, but the people who want more actually have a meaningful 2nd playthrough that's more than the same game but some stuff carries over.

FFXV despite it's flaws, and unexplained parts ingame that were later added in DLC's was still a decent game. If a game can get me so invested that I even shed a tear at the end (like with Crisis Core), then it's a good game to me. Final Roadtrip The Game had a real boys only vibe to it and I liked that given the usual party is always mixed.

Man, my one hang up is that playing DMC V in Son of Sparda mode made me wish it was selectable from the start, as its enemy selection and formation was a straight upgrade in my eyes. I worry it'll be the same for FF16!

I'm really happy to learn that they are looking into button binding. I was daydreaming yesterday if I could JUST swap circle and r1 buttons it would probably be perfect for me personally.

Thank god we are getting an option to turn off the motion blur. Its extremely over used in the demo

I never play NG+'s. I always just start a new campaign because I don't like starting a game overpowered, and no leveling to look forward to, but this mode seems to fix the core issues I've always had with NG+'s. I hope more games will include modes like this going forward, other than just letting you play the game over with all of your gear, and being as powerful as you'll ever get from the start.

I would like a fun boss battle mode where you can play as any of the eikons with full move sets battling other eikons

Square has been doing NG+ in their games since the mid 90s. They just didnt do it for most of their Final Fantasy releases. Chrono Trigger and Cross. Parasite Eve. I do wish they considered it in more FF titles. It's like they started the trend, but other games carried it on until newer IPs that got big had it. Then they decided they had to do it. And why not? A lot of us are gonna play the games twice over at least, granted the game doesn't feel like anything is too ridiculous to obtain twice if it can't be carried over.

be interesting if the timely accessories can still be equipped. at the very least, i'll be usnig the torgal one as i will NEVER remember to use Torgal commands lol and Ultima weapon eh..... i am DEARLY hoping we get an added use for the SP we get. cause after we max all the skills, i hate dead currency. hopefully something like DMC5 where you can use the SP to power something (maybe give the Ultima weapon 1atk for every 100 SP unspent?)

Fuck I wish the game was already out. I can't wait two more days man.

I love that you brought up tactics cuz this game is giving me a lot of tactics vibes! Tactics being one of my all time favourites! This game has been the FF that I’ve enjoyed the most since I was a kid!

As someone who's also familiar with character action games, New Game+ is basically how DMC/Platinum's harder difficulty modes work: They're designed with you having full access to all the tools in the game so enemy placement is different and they have additional attacks. Except this is a 40 hour narrative-driven RPG instead of a brisk 10-15 hour action game.

that button option would be a crystal's blessing lol

somehow, this might have better endgame than Diablo 4..

I actually like the small detail of the damage output being minimal with each attack in this game. Enemies don’t need to have 1million HP for it to seem tanky, less damage has that same effect and when you land a 4 digit attack output, it actually looks impressive when it happens

Max!! It’s almost here!

I'm hype for this! This is like Ninja Garden Sigma where at higher difficulties stronger enemies are introduced early and then have different types

WOW, Dragon's and Ram's voice attacks from the Chimera!? That's straight up XIV and I'm about it.

If I got a gill for every time I read a fan say "I cant wait to play FF 16" in the last couple of weeks, I could have bought SquareEnix over twice and release the game today for everyone.

I'm very curious what you'll be able to spend your ability points on, as I would not be surprised in a secondary system post max lvl that lets you invest in your stats. Cost a considerable amount, but it is something an RPG would do and people do like Max Stat, busted af characters (looks over at Ultima VII and the sword that doubled my STR stat past the cap)

That's just a FF14 Chimera that's so awesome. It even has the sane attack patterns

I have to wonder if this game will be as hard or harder than Proud Mode in the Kingdom Hearts games, or Lufenia difficulty in Stranger of Paradise. I've reached the 215th Floor in Stranger of Paradise on Lufenia, and it's getting pretty tough to take down bosses with increased stats (especially during Bahamut Trials). I should also mention Valkyrie difficulty in Valkyrie Elysium... that mode is pretty tough as it restricts your skill tree when you start out.

in the most recent pre launch stream, they even showed how final fantasy mode's arcade mode looks like (with suzuki-san playing it)

It just set in that it’s releasing tonight, can’t wait to play it.

I'm curious if therre will be hidden hunts and superbosses that you can only fight in new game+ At least that gives us a reason to use up all of those elixirs.

Wait, did I understand this correctly that you can't turn off motion blur atm?

Thats exactly how a new game plus should be, harder with new things to find and fight

I really hope story bosses and hunts have new moves, too.

I love that NG+ is not just the same mobs with upscaled stats.

7:15 thank god the frame rate when effects were high was slowing the game a bit and the blur made it feel like I was seeing things

Best way to do higher difficulties and new game plus, great replayability and new optional content

Never needed a game as badly as I need XVI in my LIFE. This is one for the history books.

HaHA! I LOVE the mechanic of the Chimera here as it's the same aoe attacks it has in FFXIV's Cutter's Cry final boss. Ice move out/ Lightning move in

I do enjoy a NG+ that is pure power fantasy, but a harder run that changes meaningful stuff sounds excellent.

I guess you notice it less when the fps is locked at a specific value, never going below or above it. It's when it keeps dropping, then back up, then dropping again, that you really notice it.

I’m wondering if they kept those accessibility’s equipment even in this Final Fantasy mode.

With this kind of NG+, I think I’ll skip the side-quests on my first play to save more fresh content for myself for the 2nd. Since the story is probably the same, experiencing the side quests for the first time makes things even fresher.

Oh god the Chinera is actually using the attacks from ff14, lightning means get closer and Ice means get far away from it, that's going to be sick if enemies gave these recognizable patterns for their attacks so that you can either perfectly dodge or perfectly counter that's going to be so satisfying to pull off.

Are you gonna react to the new armored core gameplay?

I'm tempted to play 30fps. The quality drop for performance mode is pretty hefty. If they could reduce the blur a bit at 30, it would make it much better.
