first the pixel remasters and then 16, what an awesome few months its going to be. hopefully the pixel remasters do well and square see that there's still a market for them because i'd be perfectly happy with a pixel based or octopath traveller style ff17 and maybe even 18 game while we wait for the next big budget AAA instalment.

[@getwhatdeserve5039]

you got that right, the first true action rpg. FF15 was not, it tried but it was a little bit weird.

[@yamazaki752]

@@Yokai_Yuri Yeah, 15 was a bit wonky on that front, while 7 Remake went for a mostly action RPG with a light dash of turn-based RPG options. But it's clear that 16 has taken the lessons from 14, 15, and 7R to heart. Now it's just a matter of delivering.

It turn more of hack and slash rather than a deep rpg

[@corxiiifelinike2643]

they confirmed this since the game first got teased. Then the fact that the combat director is the same guy that help made DMC pretty much confirmed it.

[@Michael-qp9uh]

Why couldn’t they keep the same battle system like FF7????

[@ztaylor82]

Why has it been made to be as simple and accessible as possible when the whole point of an RPG or jrpg is to be deep and therefore engaging and engrossing. Seems like a tech demo more than anything.

[@vicenarian340]

That is only if you choose easy mode. Why would you choose easy mode if you don't want to play an easy game? You don't have access to the accessibility rings if you choose "action-focused" mode.

[@monchicruz8278]

You must have missed that it’s optional

[@Peionier]

The combat looks unnecessarily flashy and bright like they try to keep it super dynamic. Persona 5 proved that turn based rpgs scan still be flashy and dynamic. This combat is just another super fast paced fight with lots of flashy lighting effects. It’s like an acid trip. Sad.

[@willpontes9213]

Game looks cool and all but can’t push the possibility away that we might be getting too overhyped, games nowadays aren’t how they used to be, I’m not hating just worried 😂

6:30 battle theme opening seems similar to FFVIII battle theme (don't be afraid). But it is still amazing tho ❤

[@alister101]

My only complaints of the game are some of their including the main character looks very smooth, too smooth and another thing is the hud.

[@SuperRamos619]

Just chalk that up to how SE designs their characters. Its artistic rendition of photo realism. They still got that anime look to them.

[@crazys4173]

Its for the video they probably die quick when the game releases

[@Youngdon212]

@@crazys4173 you know that how?

[@Yokai_Yuri]

It's an action RPG. Enemies or at least some are supposed to tank a lot of hits, as you level up they tank less and you do more dps...It's basic knowledge. What do you want a game where the enemies die in 3 hits? what's the point of all the combos and flashiness?

Stagger is 🗝 once the enemy staggers the health bar goes down much quicker. If you play correctly combat becomes much easier

The point in playing is because it’s actually very engaging. Those accessories are entirely optional, and if people want to use those accessories for whatever reason there is nothing wrong with that. Next you are going to tell me what’s the point of playing games if they have an story/easy mode if things die in one hit and getting hit has very little consequence.
