[@Cambonano]

Final Fantasy XVI is finally out and is available exclusively on PlayStation 5! Enter the dark fantasy world of Valisthea in the legendary series and begin your journey now: wehy.pe/y/1/Cambonano

[@cassiopaeiavirgo2369]

Wasn't expecting FF from Cam. This is quite the treat.

[@jajsem1109]

I just love chocobos. They are so majestic and cool...

[@miladasadinamin3655]

Cambonano, during each cutscene , you can pause the game , then press the touchpad to get all the information required about characters, locations, and empires. Its so helpful to get an idea of whats happening in a story line.😊😊😊😊

[@Stickarms99]

I love how you unapologetically swoon over Clive hahah don't worry, we all did that

[@ejmtv3]

I'm embarrassed to say this but I have only played Final Fantasy XII but I loved it with all my childhood heart.

[@fredrikaarrestad1571]

You should play 16 and 10 then for sure. Will probably also enjoy 9

[@DeeeJay07]

This game is amazing and insane. The cinematics are incredible, Final Fantasy games always blew me away with their amazing cinematic cutscenes like i'm watching a movie This game had too many cut scenes but there will be gameplay

[@james86848]

Just a note about the Timely accessories that you equipped: the only difference between the Story mode and Action mode difficulties is that the rings are automatically equipped in Story mode; the enemies aren't actually easier in Story mode. The developers basically added the rings to allow players to customize their difficulty setting. By equipping the rings you inadvertently lowered the difficulty to "Story mode". You've beaten much more difficult games than FF16 so I'm pretty sure you'll want to play the game without these rings equipped.

[@Vartazian360]

this 100% The game is incredibly easy even without them. They should have made it harder by default. Haven't even died once and im half way through the game. AS a streamer she should not be using these difficulty modifiers. The game plays itself

[@ataridc]

@@Vartazian360 im ashamed to say i died to an early boss but even at that it starts you half way through the fight if you made it there

[@CazaDeYork]

@@Vartazian360 It really doesn't. You're on easy or something and women have ZERO idea how to play games.

[@DMP89145]

Damn nice, Cam! This should be a great ride!!😋 *Glances towards DS3* 🥺 "There, there now.. shhhh. It's okay. I'm sure she hasn't forgotten you."😕

[@Cambonano]

The time will come for DS3, don’t worry! I haven’t forgotten about it 😄🌼

[@DediMerdeka]

I'll be honest, i simply click and watch this cause of FFXVI and your smile on thumbnail 😂

[@brieezy.]

13:00 FF7R was a special case, most of these final fantasy games are one off games they don’t tie into each other. It’s a remake of one of the earliest turn-of-the-century games and it’s a retelling of the original story so it’s not going to be the same story. I have yet to see a full links LP for this game, but I am fairly positive that this game will have a fulfilling story, though I’ll leave it up to you how satisfying it is

[@cosmicdraco7041]

Another phenomenal video cam,truly incredible playthrough and gameplay. This is going to be a awesome series

[@nizzynick9298]

Hell yeah been waiting for this thanks so much for the amazing content as always cam

[@Cambonano]

Thank you for watching! I hope you’ll enjoy the video 😄🌼

[@lisalilo7848]

Ahhh I found your chanel today because I wanted to see a final fantasy let's play since I don't own a playstation and I love your videos and your playstyle 😻 I am so excited for the next parts, thank you!!

[@tucomtyler]

Yes, please play more. Looks great. Thanks

[@miladasadinamin3655]

Cambonano, good luck with your new project . This game is stunning 👏 😍

[@floranteantonioalfonso946]

it made me smile when you ask if they have a "van".. what Tiamat meant "you take the van", he's telling clive to be on a vanguard or in front of their line. to lead. =)

[@daimionhollins528]

Earlier this morning 🌄 I was shocked 😳 that you were beginning to play FFXVI. I'm just happy that you're getting the open time to run your content on your channel God bless, Cam 🙏😌

[@nicodemus82]

Just a heads up, those “Timely” accessories will make the game easier. They’re basically how this game is handling difficulty modes. So, if you want to play the game on “normal” you might not wanna use them. You’ll get other accessories you CAN use later on instead ;) Also, don’t forget to use the Active Time Lore feature if you’re not sure who someone is or just want a bit more context to what’s happening in a cut scene. It’s super helpful!

[@user-hv6te1gx2x]

wasn't expecting to see benedicta in person as a Cambonano

Amazing gameplay video, and this demo of the game is really surprising since it's announced that is available and tried it myself.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

This game is definitely GOTY material!

Ahweeeeeeewoo ohhh eeeee ooo Bonanoo ohh eee ooo Banana Cambana plays Final Fantasy! splurges out like foaming mouth guy in avatar

[@Deedric_Kee]

Me too "Final Fantasy 7 Remake was the only one I ever played. Maximilian Dood and Strange Rebel Gaming got me into it. I bought on PS5 and I love it.

[@arnoldpj6712]

Really hope you play more. Loved it.

[@Deedric_Kee]

Cool. Wonderful episode.

[@mwalvis43]

If I were you, I would adjust sure brightness because a lot of times you’re gonna run into dark areas where you won’t see well and it’s watching the video will not see it well You will see and she will be amazed at the storyline and gameplay. I know I am I can’t get enough.

[@brieezy.]

48:43 this game is apparently supposed to be re-introducing elements from very early on in Final Fantasy one things revolved around crystals for magic power I am still having trouble understanding the difference between bearers and dominants as they both seem to wield magic… but I am slow to realize things sometimes, it’s possible I have completely missed something.. Like maybe I’m wrong

[@Reefir_]

Played this game today, and omg I love the more realisitc feels(as far as it can get) and the medieval GoT vibes to it. It’s definitely way darker and more brutal(visually)than every other titles from before. Ff16 proves to be a bit more different than the others and its a whole treat. I have to say, that intro left me in tears.

[@Silver-7]

The Active Time Lore (ATL) can be accessed at any time. I would say it especially helps with the early game because of the new terms, characters and countries involved. An interesting thing it does during cutscenes is update in real time as subjects come up on screen and in conversation. As you play, the story does become clearer. Lastly, the ending of the intro of the game is supposed to be really really ambiguous and drives the following part of the narrative as Clive tries to reconcile the past when he's older. I really enjoyed your playthrough so far.

[@silvestrevalle1839]

I'm happy you play this game we waiting for part two😊

[@Cambonano]

I'll have part 2 up tomorrow :D

[@silvestrevalle1839]

Yay I just saw your KZbin Channel and I already Subscribe 😁

That means a lot, thank you so much! :D

[@TheMrGiannisgr]

There’s nothing to be sorry about. Keep exploring for as long as you want. 37:15

[@vintagecottonon]

Cam!!! U wont believe how excited i am to see you do a lets play of this game!!! I had no interest in it until i played the demo and then went to pre-order straight away huahah! I hope you enjoy this game and i really look forward to watching each episode after i finish playing each section of the game along with ur playthrough! 😁🍿

[@dietrichenstein]

Oh man I hope you do a full play through of this…this gammme dude.

[@Artimes.]

The game dramatically opens up later on, You will have large scale environments to explore, marks to hunt, side quests to accomplish and crafting for weapons armor, etc. Pretty much all the typical rpg stuff. Though the early parts of the game are a bit more restrained for the purposes of the progression of the story and introducing the player to the mechanics. But rest assured there is alot of gameplay outside the first few introductory hrs.

[@kentbarnes1955]

So glad to see you playing this. It is VERY likely to be my next game now that I've about completed the Ultra Hard (last trophy) on Horizon Forbidden West (need to do Burning Shores...then this). Love your Tallneck in the background. I love mine and wish they would come out with a Lego Thunderjaw. Will be watching...probably slowly...but watching. Peace

[@freeofgreed]

Also FYI those rings are basically the game's easy mode (if you selected the story difficulty they would've come already equipped) I personally wouldn't use them as they pretty much automate the entire game's combat. The game handled them very weirdly.

[@dietrichenstein]

Just an FYI if you do keep playing (please 🥹): there is an actual lock on that will make the camera lock properly on to a single target. It’s L1 in the current controller config. However I’d highly recommend going into system and looking at the different controller configs and changing it to Type C, this was such a game changer for me and I honestly don’t know why it isn’t the default configuration. This moves magic to L1 instead of triangle (lock on to L2) which allows you to do charged magic and melee attacks and magic/melee combo’s waaay more easily than the default configuration. And I’m sure other people have also mentioned but by equipping those rings you basically put the game on story mode. I’d def recommend removing them as well. The normal difficulty is not made to be very challenging and is very well balanced.

[@matf1036]

Great video Cam, I'm really enjoying this but had to remove the rings to make the gameplay tougher as I didn't realise at first. Loving the battles. :-)

[@john_7000]

Hii there idk who u r, I am new here KZbin recommend me this video and I am gonna stick around 👍👍 it always amazing to see someone blind r reaction to this game, I finished it not too long ago it phenomenal it become one of my favorite games ❤️ so hope u continue the game

[@PantheonContent]

I'll be checking in on your channel periodically to watch you experience the emotional trauma from Square's latest release. Good luck!

[@andreyblaze]

2:13:00 It confused me too, but it will be explained later.

[@freeofgreed]

Van as in vanguard (the front) haha.

[@EuphoricNightmare]

The music tho..💙

[@theprisonerofthegoldenhead4030]

Also there is a lock on try L1 additionaly there is a darks souls like alternate control scheme if you prefer. For example sword attack is on R1, magic projectile is on R2, and dodge is on circle ⭕️ I found it really helpful.

[@TheRenegade_Show]

One question.... Why didn't Queen Cam tell us that she was playing Benedikta?.... lol, strong resemblance 🤣 😆.

[@renziongaming]

Oh wow very nice! 😊

[@theprisonerofthegoldenhead4030]

By the way all important characters in final fantasy games are ludicrously handsome or beautiful.

Well, here is hoping you decide to make this a series. Imo this is looking like the best FF game since 10.

That was hard to watch. The two brothers fighting each other without knowing it.

Glad your playing this! I think you'll like it alot :)

[@Cambonano]

This first part of the game was really good! 😄🌼

[@freeofgreed]

@@Cambonano Glad you enjoyed it! Would love to see it be a full series. There are a lot of cutscenes but the ratio between cutscenes and gameplay gets a lot better after this point. It's just that this was the beginning of the game so they needed to establish a lot of things. There's plenty of combat and exploration of large environments after this part.

[@sjsjjsjsjxjxdjdjddj6750]

Hey cam i don't know if you will see this but there's a game called Detroit become human i think you would enjoy it it's made by the same developers who made heavy rain it's a incredible story with quick time events you should give it a shot thanks for the video

[@cyradus]

55:01 After beating this game, watching that Clive/Jill scene on the balcony from the beginning of the game makes even more sense. I wont say any more though. :) And no, she is not his sister, she is a ward of Clive's family....think Theon Greyjoy and the Starks in Game of Thrones. She was given to the Rosfields to "keep the peace" between kingdoms.

[@WapowGaming]

omg i found the real life Benedikta.. I mean Shiva or you look like all of them!

[@pickledbeaker5916]

oh my, FF sure came along way since ff6, not sure if in the right direction though At least seems Miss Cam is doing great

[@godofwar2790]

[@baronnuuke7821]

As a big fan of Final Fantasy series I am skeptical about this one. Story wise, it is very reminiscent of FFIV and even VI (as far as I know, since I watched around 10 hours gameplay), but as for the gameplay itself it isn't really a Final Fantasy. Don't get me wrong, the GP is fantastic and very enjoyable but it isn't what FF is supposed to be. When I played any FF (and I played all of them since the first except multiplayer ones), around midgame I open the menu and work with equipment and magics on 5-10 playable characters than I can actually decide the role that I want (healer, black mage, knight, dragoon, monk, etc), then in combat I can pause for a few seconds to quickly launch a tactic, one is curing the team, one is attacking, one is casting buff/debuff...etc The Eikons/Summons were originally a last chance attack that drains your magic but deal massive damage, not a Godzilla fight with button mashing for hours....So yeah, as you can see it's this type of game at all, but I'm glad to watch it on KZbin and I probably won't play it unless something change drastically midgame because I'm not a big fan of Devil May Cry style of game... Also it's fine to be confuse with the scene with Ifrit VS Phoenix tbh it is a very badly directed scene. I won't spoil anything but basically they tried to make you understand something but fail to, and at some point in the game there is a big reveal that isn't a big one because anyway nobody understood what happened back then 😂😂

[@mikeman2862]

Regarding the music, Cam. The composer Masayoshi Soken is a master. He is also responsible for the music in FF14 plus other things. He is truly great. Added: There are Torgal plushies for sale, although i dunno if there are any still in stock

[@darrylpreston4974]

Woohoo final fantasy xvi right on

[@brieezy.]

Is this your first FF game? Just so you know, the demo is basically the beginning of the game and it’s about what you’ve played and it would have carried over saved progress, so no worries!! I didn’t expect to be so invested in the story as much as I am of this game! I have already started watching let’s plays because I don’t wanna fork out the money for the game at the moment, but I might have to pretty soon

[@fredrikaarrestad1571]

The game is really good and mastering the gameplay very satisfying.

[@adelbert8981]

Its nice that you're playing FF which is a fantastic game, but please don't delay RDR2 videos. For a content creator, I think RDR2 has much more "reaction-worthy" moments and unrivaled story beats.

[@Cambonano]

RDR2 videos won’t get delayed. Once I’ve settled and I’m done moving, I should be able to stick to my upload schedule, which is twice a week. One of those days will be RDR2 and the other a different game, once I decide what I want to dedicate a playthrough to 🌼

I currently have time off, so I’ve already prerecorded the next 2 RDR2 videos, so I can hopefully get a bit ahead so there won’t be a long wait between videos 🌼 I would like to still play other games without getting guilt tripped into playing RDR2
