Fantasian Neo Dimension - 19 Minutes of Demo Gameplay 4K 60FPS

[@FaithlessMr]

To anyone wondering why the random encounter rate is so high: the game has a system where you can just skip random battles and accumulate them in an alternate dimension where you eventually have to go through them. It’s the Dimengion. For some reason, the person playing had it deactivated, which is why you’re getting battles every two steps.

[@Augusleeberty]

Tedious and stressful mechanics rarely make games fun. Why not just lower the rate or make monster models on the map? Poor design.

@@gallupswon yeah man. they should never have walked away from turn based fighting. i think rework of 7 should be turn based. as in you can pull of comboes of attacks depending on the buttons you push each turn with each character. i would love rework of 7 if that was the case.

[@gallupswon]

@ Dude for sure. I feel the same exact way. They kind of lost me at that point. IMO Final Fantasy is the greatest RPG franchise of all time. Up until X-2 that is. The turn based combat, along with the “victory sound,” were and are what makes it that. I still have no idea why they strayed away from the classic formula.

[@jarlsigurdstorvann9885]

@@gallupswon the answer is to make it more modern and include a new base of fans. but now they just throw away one group of fans for another group of fans who may not be that interested. it was suposedly "risky" to have it be turn based after x-2. so it had to be changed up to become something more modern. and games like 16 just looks like devil may cry to me. great franchise of games if you are into it. so for what its worth, you could find some interest for 16, but it doesent feel like final fantasy anymore. so i think it would just be better off to cut the franchise off from what we knew in 20+ years rather then changing it to become something it never was. you wanna make new games for new kinds of audience? great. go do that. but its stupid to do that at cost of hardcore fans of something that franchise always was, you know?

[@gallupswon]

@ I totally agree. This franchise had a fanbase that has grown and gotten older over the years. We are the ones they are putting the games out for. You wanna get away from the turn based and all that? Fine, but call it something else and keep making the FF’s for us.

[@ragvald8835]

It appears this game has nothing going for it except a couple of famous names in the credits. I've finished Metaphor recently, now playing Trails into Reverie, and this doesn't look like it belongs anywhere near either of them. Hope i'm wrong and the clip is just not that good, but somehow i doubt it.

[@wodensthrone5215]

Those famous names are what allow Metaphor and Trails to exist to begin with. Metaphor, from what I played so far is a lot of "put the controller down and wait for long expositions to finish and repeat" Trails is good though, Falcom usually never misses and the dialogue doesn't drag on forever Not to mention Falcom has one of my favorite JRPG franchises in YS, played my first YS game on Super Nintendo

[@ragvald8835]

@@wodensthrone5215 I`d rather have long, but good written dialogues over grind. Look at this, there is random encounters every 5 steps. Even if you can postpone it, which is nice, i admit it, it`s still a neccessity to spend an ungodly amount of time for something that`s basically just an annoyance. And it looks exactly like you`d expect a mobile game to look. I know it was supposed to be exactly that, but if they`re asking full price on this i expect decent uplift. I`ll check out a proper review, but it doesn`t look good for now. Also, Trails have WAY more dialogues and exposition compared to Metaphor, i don`t know what you`re talking about. There are so many characters and they talk CONSTANTLY. Every damned NPC in Trails have their own small side story, if you take the time to talk with them after every major event, it unravels. Characters always have regular chats about the tiniest of details, like a history of an Ymir foot bath or capitals best restaurants. Yeah, Metaphor has it too, but like 70% less. I like the game, but i kinda understand why they take 4-5 years to translate everything, so many dialogues. As for famous names - i beg to differ. While their work is truly a cultural stamp and i don`t deny their achievements, first Megami Tensei game (without "Shin" yet) released in 1987 just as Final Fantasy did. And Metaphor is a direct desencdant of megaten franchise, of Atlus, so this one is equaly acclaimed and could easily exist without FF.

[@wodensthrone5215]

@ragvald8835 Without FF, the company would've went under and you put it right next Megami Tensei, did Megami Tensei do all the heavy lifting to keep the company from hitting rock bottom? Do you not know the history of the company and what was going to happen to everyone who worked in it if FF failed? Dragon Quest crawled so FF could save the company from hitting rock bottom, Megami Tensei did nothing for the company. Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are ingrained into gaming pop culture, that everyone knows it, even if they don't play the games. I like Shin Megami Tensei and pick it over Persona because I think Persona is the drizzling shits but I know better than to fuckin compare it to FF.

They did a game for the Xbox 360 called blue dragon, I really thought the entire battle system in that game was brilliant. You could see the enemies walking around like chrono trigger, but you could use abilities to kill them without ever entering a fight. You could also choose to fight several enemies on the field at once and you’d get power ups between sets of enemies. It was really great
