Final Fantasy XVI - State of Play 4K | PS5 Games

[@duysin4]

What strikes me is how confident this game is. Multiple trailers, showcases, a definite release date, and they'll also release a demo before launch. Hope this FF will be the best one yet. So stoked.

[@Zakjuh]

Demo probably released around 2 weeks before the game is out.

[@sane7527]

It hugely due to them having to develop only for the ps5, the devs even said that the game is coming out when it is due to the power of the ps5. If they have to optimise it for PC's(which they will do in the future) it would have taken a lot longer to release.

The soundtracks never fail to become bangers honestly you cant deny that each Final Fantasy game has at least one amazing soundtrack even if the people consider the game as "bad" well that is my personal opinion though

Loved it and honestly towards the end, I couldn't grasp the smoothness with which the Eikon battles are being rendered in real time. Looks awesome!

[@Maraaass]

To be honest FF16 looks like an evolution in every aspect. They are proud of it as they should be. All of it looks just outstanding, epic, cinematic and incredibly fun. Not to mention this game looks visually gorgeous. They did such an amazing job with this game. Everything looks so incredibly polished. So they really should be showing it all off. Also it reassures us as players that they are confident and have no reason to hide anything. It's going to be a great game.

[@droprelease4820]

The scene from 20:16 to 20:42 is my favorite part of this, seeing Phoenix fight Ifrit(?) from those camera angles, especially the scene of Phoenix majestically flying backwards shooting fireballs at him while that amazing music is playing is equal to watching a blockbuster with a 200 million dollar budget in the theater. I honestly feel the developers are confident and sure that this will be an amazing game that people will love and enjoy, it feels more like an actual labor of love and less of just a game releasing only to check the usual boxes for just a profit margin.

[@ricaroo3284]

I dig the Bros on a trip feel of the game, but quite literally the second half of the game should have been meeting up with Luna and likely a group of her own people and then being able to mix and match your team between the two. In fact that would have been a cool way to introduce Gladio's sister and make Aranea playable. Having defeated her, only to have her join up with your future wife as her new protector...yeah that could have been a cool development and source of conflict between Noct and Luna. Can you trust a former villain? And that's a theme that would feed into a later reveal as well.
