My favourite part about this time of year, is seeing people happy and excited, and sharing in that excitement. This game looks amazing.

This looks so fucking good

I just love how the Dominant for "that's a bloody mountain" Titan...is basically The Mountain from GoT haha Tho it sounds like Hugo will have a lot more political agency, along with his muscle, according to the website profile

I am not sad that this game will launch in 2023, devs team need its due time to polish it and optimized it. And considering the scope of FF XVI is going to be huge, I think the Yoshida-san's department will deliver top notch quallity again. You can't rush greatness.

That’s fine but the game shouldn’t have been announced 2 years ago then… if anything this should have been the world premiere trailer instead.

I think the shots at 2:15 of Shiva/Titan are deliberately there to show us the graphical improvements they've been making since the 1st trailer. Even tho it probably made the game take longer to finish but I'm not complaining! Also what's up with Ifrit doing a shoryuken on another Ifrit in the last shot? Questions ...

Looking back at the reveal trailer, it would make sense the second Eikon of Fire would be related in some way to Rosaria’s fire aspected Mother Crystal. So presumably Clive himself is awakened to this power, through someone or something that first appears as Ifrit as seen in the first trailer. The narration in the first trailer (presumably Clive himself speaking) stated “the legacy of the crystals has shaped history long enough”, implying the tyranny is the mother crystals themselves. I’ll wager Clive becoming the dominant of Ifrit, in some way in contravention to the established order of the crystals “blessing” is what makes him the linchpin to resist this tyranny.

Yup, glad they toned down the blown out lighting in the first trailer/seemed to settle on a lighting solution. I remember Digital Foundry pointing out Halo Infinite's initial reveal had the same thing which made the game look lower quality than it likely was. Looks much better here and it already looked great!

Yoshi said the game is already playable from start to finish. The one year time is for polish. But people need to remember that a lot of devs on this team are going back and forth working on FF14 and FF16 at the same time. Not all, but a lot of the big names like Yoshi-P, Soken, Koji-Fox, and others. Even the Heavensward writer is writing this game. So that means they can go more darker with the story. Heavensward already got pretty dark and that was in a T-rated game. I'm excited to see how far the writer pushes the story. I want some fucking grit man.

I think this trailer was just to hold us over until next summer but FF7 Remake Part 2 will likely get announced this fall and release during the holidays. Square doesn’t need to do heavy promoting for the game since it’s the second part. Plus, the game is already done so there is no need to hold on to it for 2 years. I think FF7 Remake Part 2 will hold us over until this game comes out. That would mean FF7 Remake Part 3 would come out in 2025/2026 as opposed to FF7 Remake Part 2 coming out in 2025 and, based on that timeline, part 3 possibly coming out in 2030? 10 years would seem ridiculous to me for a 3 part game. It would be a new generation of gaming console at that point lol

I hope there are more than just the main story summons in this game. I loved the way they looked, will definitely be fun to use in battle. Just give me some smaller summons. Like non major ones that just show up and do some damage!

Damn was really hoping it was this year, well looks like its backlog time for the rest of 2022.

That Titan Dominant is giving me some huge Reiner Braun (AoT) vibes and I'm here for it.

2 new characters are added on the official website.

Seems a lot of people didn't notice when the eikons/primals were titled, it named Ifrit twice, and then at the end TWO Ifrits are fighting. Hope they alter the HUD or give us options to reduce it, the numbers and the bars etc are all a bit grotesque to me.

Rumor is that they had to switch engines from the ff xiv engine to unreal. Also the scarcity of the ps5 may play a factor for them not crunching time. Sony plans to ship 18 million ps5 by march 2023 and over 20 million by that summer. FF has to sell big.

I just completed FF XV on PC. If that's anything to go by, this games boss battles / summons are going to be mind blowing.The choreography in some sequenced events during boss battles actually makes it much more fun that Dark Souls / Elden Rings boss battles.

Odin is always so weird looking in ff and persona...

The only thing I don't like is the HUD/UI. It's too cluttered especially the damage numbers. The color and design of the HUD/UI also doesn't match the supposed dark fantasy vibe of this game (for ex: the green HP bar and yellow orange limit break bars are too vibrant). I love the FFXIV team but this kind of HUD/UI suits FFXIV way more than it does FFXVI. Hoping they change it before release. In addition, I guess we won't be having any party members. A bit disappointing but it was bound to happen given how FFXV already had a stripped down party system. Solo protagonist is probably how it's gonna be moving forward, and that makes me sad because party members have always been a series staple. ATB combat I didn't mind going away in favor of action rpg style combat but I feel like taking away the party system kinda takes away part of what makes an FF game an FF game. We'll just have to see I guess. Also RIP Leviathan you're the only OG elemental summon that was left out. Your Tidal Wave/Tsunami will be missed.

Agree about the UI. It looks like there may be no permanent party members (you might have "guest" party members to temporarily accompany you for a specific chapter/part) but I definitely dont think this means it wont ever be present in future FF's, it's such a staple of the series and 7R nailed it perfectly, I think more than anything this might be a one-off in that sense?

Loved this but also... people said 2022 would be the next 2017, now they're saying 2023 will be the next 2017.... Next year they're gonna say the same thing for 2024. We gotta face it, nobody expected 2017 and we should stop trying to predict another year like that. I am still satisfied btw. I got or am going to get some pretty great games this year, and we still haven't seen what Nintendo or Microsoft got for us (...though the latter actually needs to drop a 1st party game, really, the meme ceases to be funny at this point).

The fighting system is only going to bee good because is the same guy behind dragon dogma and devil may cry fighting system

Pretty much confirms it will only be 1 party member which sucks and isn’t FF at all to me.

..... how???? Flavor wise this has so much a 14 theme. And the clear love and homage to mitsuda. Ff tactics, and tactics ogre is so obvious. The factions. World war. Heavy medieval themes. Stranger of paradise story wise isa bumbling mess that is riddled with bad dialogue. It's so tone deaf that it comes of as humorous unironically. This is clearly a story about violence and the harsh reality of the world. Stranger of paradise? I do not see how... I even get bits of the witcher and game of thrones.... Stranger in paradise. I do not see that at all. Even from a combat aspect. There's alot of dmc 5 DNA.

Yeaaah~ that looks aggressively uninteresting to me. Like, it looks amazing graphics-wise, of course. But the battle system? Not a vibe for me. Not one single female character? No thank you. It's obvious that they're doubling down on what they started in ff15 and ff7r and I am absolutely over it. I'll just go replay ff6-12 for eternity, i guess 🤷‍♀️

Why does Final Fantasy always look like shlock?
