As a DMC player, the combat in this game is pretty easy but layered enough for me to creatively air juggle a poor hopeless enemy for a bit of time.

[@junnguyen1640]

The removal of direction input makes it much easier

[@SuperZechs]

Combat is what you want it to be. You can get flashy and mix it up, or you can put on rings and just tap square

[@dave_reckless]

😂

[@HN-fb6md]

Facts, play however the hell you want.

[@MalikBarrow16]

Hate these journalists telling people to use rings instead of getting better

[@affa5908]

It's not that easy for me... combat is tricky at times but once you hone in and stay crisp with watching enemies combos and switching eikons it truly opens up. Game itself reminds me of a mature Final Fantasy 12... love it so far

[@Disto97]

If you want it to make it easy for you just wear the ring thats lets you do combos just by pressing square button.

[@Zeegoku1007]

​@@Disto97Rings were supposed to be used by disabled people or people who only want to experience the story. It's an accessibility feature in disguise...

[@gabrielsalazar9716]

This game is amazing, the combat is just as amazing

[@biketripz]

It's very basic with nice graphics it's a button masher.

[@SemperSalam]

I’m finding the combat to be quite dull. Other than the flashy animations it is quite simple.

[@fluxie11]

Button bashing at its best

[@Ice_2192]

Not sure why but in the gameplay trailers it felt like the controls were stiff. Actually playing the game felt very responsive.

[@lucinathegreat1248]

You can tell who played it and who didn't.

[@vertigev]

Loving the game and the combat so far

[@Jmiguel175]

Is normal that the abilities activate automatically when you melee?🤔

[@NPSACobra]

No. You might have a piece of jewelry equipped that assists abilities during combat.

[@kd3188]

You probably have ring of timely strikes equipped

[@JoriNieer]

What setting should you use, A, B or C for buttons?

[@jesterjohn123]

If PS5 controllers had abc😛

[@vincentj.9057]

Control Scheme A makes the most sense to me since the HUD layout matches the position of the buttons

[@arnoldc7585]

@@jesterjohn123, have you even played the game? That’s not what he meant. And by the way, B.

[@TooTallGamer]

If you dont hit anyone and just wait , enemies are pretty slow to react and attack. Shame that this game does not offer much difficulty.

[@DanBurtonCodes]

They get more aggressive in NG+

[@kevinxpowell]

Thanks IGN stoked to play today!

[@malameeer001]

How do you get the 4th bar for limit break?

[@Talon007]

People keep saying the game is too easy take your accessories off and then play.

[@ottavianoaugusto4312]

It remains easy

[@fignootin1147]

Play in Final Fantasy mode

[@disguyngo]

Air juggle like dmc and nier automata

[@usbmannam]

Never played a final fantasy game before. Wondering why enemy health bars are so big ? Hits barely take of anything from them.

[@Astreon123]

Cause its a dmc style game where you go for combos with every move linking together

[@oocinom]

The timeley rings are for novice players with weak skills aka easy mode.

[@adhirg]

aka “journalist mode” LOL

[@wasupman777]

Whatever this ain't a software game

[@ThePokestopPapi]

Baby rings

[@GlivGluv]

Here's all you need to know: Press square.

[@user-tj7xr6xd9z]

Sure if u want to go the boring slightly more difficult route. 😂

[@affa5908]

That's actually not the game at all. Just pressing square won't do anything at times..

[@vexcarius7100]

@@affa5908cause they’re just pressing X in the older FFs. Let them lament 😂😂

[@UncleBlerd]

A TOUCH Spoilery but DOPE!

[@bootlegpete7984]

Did you not see the massive SPOILER WARNING at the beginning?

[@vexcarius7100]

Salty turn-based fans: “Press square to win.” *Spams the Attack command in FFX and FFXII

[@rockmegently]

Never played those games like that, but sure.

[@davidwhatsthatabout7404]

This is one of the worst final fantasy games made. Now that DOES NOT mean it’s a bad game, it just doesn’t “feel” like final fantasy at all, even comparing it to XV and VII remake real time combat. This game feels like a combination of Strangers in Paradise, The Witcher and Nioh. The game feels like a Koei Tecmo game

[@LiferocksFlow-sn6cb]

Ninja theory video games are cool 😎

[@prokillcnx]

Firts pas insulte svp

[@ryulee4087]

For those noob youtuber with 10m or over 1m subcribed sure watch and learn this tips guide.🤣😂

[@lormingo5259]

Bro all the effects on the screen makes this game look a mess.

[@ittoogami2682]

PS5 has no Limits whit 720p.

If you play performance mode

Don’t really need tips for combat its not even difficult lol

Then why did you click the video?Lol!

[@howdoyouevenknow6526]

@@SirHoopie03 bc having a combat tip video is just silly for a game with easy combat game is awesome but there’s no need for combat tips

[@TheKreator98]

There are genuinely some solid combos you could pull off with every ability of the game combined.

[@thorinhannahs4614]

There is plenty the game doesn't tell you in terms of combat regardless of the fact that it is easy.

[@zuhebalepmarya35]

[@jesterjohn123]

It’s your opinion but I’m happy Square Enix used English voice sync for Western audiences!

[@gnoclaude7945]

Hint: Square, square, square, square. This is the entire game. Or square ∆, square ∆, square ∆, square ∆ if you want some variety. No I'm not joking. This game has one attack button, square. No heavy attack and just the one combo... 😐😐😐

[@Sicdirewolf]

It in fact does have a form of heavy attacks called “extreme” you just have to meet the requirements in battle to do them

[@DanBurtonCodes]

"Just the one combo" sure, if you ignore aerial/stomp combos and downthrust, eikonic attacks, charged attacks, charged magic, lunging, parrying, dodge counters, mortal blows, and using torgol to initiate/extend combos... then there's only one combo.

[@Darealpokgai]

dude even in demo, ppl use way more combo than just square and triangle. stop embarrassing youself.
