Actually, the hype level is lower than that of FF15. I can understand why... FF has always been a niche series with a lot of recognition coming from FF7. I think they're trying way too hard to appeal to the western audience but FF was never really that big in the west (sales wise). Exclusivity to one platform doesn't help either. I think it would've helped a LOT if they did a day 1 release on PC along with PS5... I hope Sony wrote them a HUGE paycheck for this because the install base for the PS5 is nothing compared to the PS4 at the moment. But, I do think SE will have second thoughts on 1 platform releases in the future. Unless, like I said, Sony wrote them a HUGE check... which, wouldn't make sense for Sony, but who knows. Just hope it doesn't take too long to make the PC port (and being a good port at that... seeing how poorly ports have been lately).

[@paledrake]

From the future, this is just how you play the game. Parry and hack away at the big enemies/bosses stagger bar, then nuke them with strong eikon abilities. It's the basic 101 of FF16 combat. Sadly it becomes boring in the later half of the game as you basically kill everything after staggering them once because of all the op shit you get access to.

[@admontblanc]

@@paledrake I've just done the Odin fight and I disagree, while the intermediary fights have become trivial due to exploiting the massive stagger damage from upgraded Diamond Dust, the real boss fights still left are not as simple, even without the scripted parts you can see Odin can take massive ammounts of stagger damage before he goes down, and on top of that he has a move that completely subverts everything the other bosses did so far in the game. Granted if you're fully stocked on potions it's unlikely Odin can kill you easily since the damage he does is just shy of being able to kill you in a single good sequence from him. You would have to bungle up your moves 2 or 3 times in a row without healing in between, but that is in the normal difficulty, I'm guessing in new game+ this fight will be much more of a challenge, aka less forgiving of any mistakes.

[@arctris9380]

Back when P8S in FFXIV was nerfed and YoishiP basically said "Our playtest team is unfortunately too good at the game, so we may have overtuned the fight" I believe him wholeheartedly now, holy...

[@DawnAfternoon]

If there's any company that knows what "hardcore" is, apart from FromSoft, it's this team 😂 I still have PTSD from DSR and TOP

[@terfio]

while basically true, its still misleading. Their team clears an undertuned fight and from that data they add a certain % to the boss health because actual Week1-HC raiders are typically that much better. The overtuning of P8S happened, because the dev raidteam themselves got better, so that adding another fixed % to the HP got into the realm of needing a meta composition + crit-luck reliance. They are good at their game, but they always acknowledged that the top players are a certain level above them. They simple catched up a bit unknowingly

I would love it if back then we could've seen Symphony of the Night devs beating the bosses without getting hit.

[@Incog2k6]

All of us: "Wow, this dev is so skilled! Nice!" That dev: "Fools, I'm the God of this game's world, and this isn't even my final form."

[@MomentaryLapse]

I've never been a fan of FF but i always saw my late gramps play it before he passed away, ill give this one a try in his name.

[@anggitwisnawansatyaji2365]

Dude just by watching clive moves like that i feel like a badaas

[@ravenna6543]

This is why we all love these devs man. They actually play their game.

[@Schlittlenutacus]

Man I lowkey hope Ongbal gets to try this i know he's a souls player but this feels right up there with the parries and precise dodges of gameplay.

[@Zn0nimus]

You know how a lot of studios say their games are "made by gamers for gamers", well this one actually proved it. This is the first time I actually believe myself not as good as a dev. haha, love it!

[@wijayleon8159]

Asmon not gonna play like this guys, hes gonna find one move and spam it the entire game😊

[@PrimarchRoboleonFrenchyman]

Gamers will always take the path of least resistance hence why they play meta build in solo rpg

[@thischannelisnotmine]

Reminds me of the PoE dev that won a race event lmao

[@bhill005]

I can always respect a dev that actually plays his game and KNOWS how to play his game🔥🔥🔥

[@alexmurillo2541]

I just know he was hearing "SWORDTRICKGUNTRICKSWORDTRICKSWORDGUNTRICKSWORDROYALSWORDGUNROYALGUARD

[@nmartinez18]

Dude wasn't there when the deep magic was written, he freaking WROTE the deep magic.

[@12371eric]

Wow that actually looks cool as fuck, wasn't even considering getting the game until now

[@FurBurger151]

Same here. Looks dope asf!

[@ChronoMune]

It’s not just some fighting game. It’s as much about the story and characters if not more. Play the demo to be sure

[@JayceCH.]

Guys, dont test the DMC combat director now!

[@agssilv5919]

dude said so what if i just pick this thing (dmc combat) and mix it with final fantasy

[@MrShakero]

Meanwhile Blizzard dev dying to Elite in World Tier 1 dungeon 😂

[@fooly6868]

The montages that are gonna come from this game will be glorious

[@gothxm]

more devs should do this so that people get really hype about the game. this was awesome.

[@r3tri3ution_z3nith_point_z6]

Im here because i just watched two blizzard designers play D4. Thank you for renewing my hope.

[@CarlosKoji87]

Seeing this in person was a real experience

[@xikaryo6735]

The designs look unbelievable oh my god

[@CamaroThings]

The boss thought he was Jin Wuu... Then he fought Igris.

[@ASNLegends]

Dev gameplay= best marketing technique ever

[@TheSanndwichh]

This almost looks like a TAS run at times. That was clean
