[@John-to6sl]

Tbh, as much as the variety of spells is neat, it feels lackluster in the sense it seems there’s not much elemental interactions. Feels like the whole time she’s just throwing off bunch of spells and while mixing up different spells before firing it off is cool, it’s a bit weird to see her fire off a lightning attack and then a water attack and theres no interaction. Also, they’re more than happy to use interactions with the environment while traversing using spells, why couldn’t that be used when in combat. I may be wrong here or didn’t see it, but her elemental spells does nothing to the environment. Having that huge array of spells is exciting but I really wish they did more for the elemental interaction. Would have been cool as well if anytime she’s near a huge body of water, her water magic is enhanced as well.

Yeah cutscenes and NPC's remind me a bit of Witcher 3 (qualtity wise) which was also not the best aspect of the game. And we all know how that game turned out. In general I have my doubts though, the open world aspect reminds me too much of Assassins creed.I hope it's will not be too repetative

[@Osama-KIN_TMZ01]

Partly true, but not necessarily. Cutscenes nowadays are more of the simplest parts of game development, it takes much less time to animate models in a 3D environment and render them than actually making a fully interactive well designed area even if it's on the smaller side. So far I'm very much not impressed nor that interested in this game, but I hope I'm wrong.

[@bendovahkiin8405]

Why there should be emotion in these scenes you just watched?

[@ogotoso7125]

There is a lot of positive aspects to this gameplay shown here, but some very concerning ones to unpack, too: combat feels fluid, but without a full showcase without edits, there is no way to see how mana/magic resources management during combat will be hindering genuine fun. Also, though traverse seems overall fun enough, they absolutely did NOT nail transitions between various movement speeds, especially during combat. I think this is why it feels slightly off, and it's not because of a nervous camera, it's because of the lack of "flow" between the various movement animations. I can see why this game had to be pushed back. It is one thing to give it a pass on a 10 min edited gameplay video, a whole other can of worms to deal with it on a constante basis during it's , let's say, 30 ish hours for a playthrough. It would be disapointing if the game was released in a subpar state, the potential for something great here is, admittedly, huge.

[@zerenityzerene4410]

The movement animations look great, I don't see what you mean. Do you have a time in the video that shows the movement being 'off'?

[@danyagamingone]

This gameplay looking like something which supposed to be played in 2D

[@edselgreaves6503]

I got the same feeling. They are bragging about how far you can jump when that basically means the world is too big with too much empty space. Make it 2D and half the hype goes away.

[@junioryeahhh560]

If there was a point of the TECHNICAL aspect of FFXV that I was amazed when I played it and to this day I still think it's fantastic, it was what this Engine was able to do with the visual part of the elemental Spells in it, they were extremely cinematic and well done in the visual aspect of it itself , and now this game using the same Engine but with years of improvement and being focused on MAGIC of different types and elements, with the main character being a spellcaster, at least in this regard I knew it would be at least really great.

The most important parts of an open world game are the traversal, and the world itself. When it's more fun to take the scenic route than it is to fast travel, that's a game that's going to stick in people's heads. This game looks promising in that regard, but the other aspects are giving me pause.

[@conndor2753]

Spiderman PS is one of those few games where it feels like a cardinal sin to use Fast Travel. It's pretty special.

[@kieran.grant_]

@@conndor2753 exactly! I rarely used fast travel in that game. Days Gone is another game with such fun traversal that it just feels sad using the fast travel. I had high hopes for Forspoken, but after playing the demo I am much more hesitant. The so-called "magic parkour" is really just holding down a button for a flashy looking run, and the open world wasn't that interesting to explore or look at.

Too bad it doesn't have weapon based combat from what we've seen so far, swords and lances with enchantments and upgrades would have been great with the already awesome magic system, Dialogues are forced and wacky … too wacky, Game looks like it will be on the far easy side, the enemies are literally the victims here, Anyway that's just my impressions from the trailer,

[@igameguruistestchannel9682]

@8:41 one technique I see a lot of developers use that is mind-boggling to me. They make a joke about something you can’t do in the game, therefore shining a light on the absence of it. The ladysmith says “ what we’re you expecting a suit of armor” after giving her a necklace. And judging from the inventory menu we see earlier it looks like the only gear pieces are a cape and a necklace. So I now I know there’s no armor sets or anything in the game and we will most likely be looking at the same outfit aesthetically throughout. Like you could have developed an actual armor system. They didn’t have to acknowledge the fact that there’s no armor and actually neglect to put it into the game. That bs is just lazy

[@awdrifter3394]

Different armors will be DLC.

[@Dieci-9]

Agreed. Tf is on with that.

[@Purplerain-s4x]

She did say you’d need more ore so hopefully more ore = armor though I doubt it.

[@addisonwelsh]

Mate, the main character is using parkour. You don't want to be wearing armor when you're running and flipping around like she is. Also, the bracelets and cloaks do qualify as an "armor system" as you put it. The character was making a joke. You hand her a small amount of incredibly rare ore and expect her to make you a full suit of armor out of it? You deserve to be made fun of if you think that's going to happen.

[@Dieci-9]

@@addisonwelsh bro, it's a game and a fantasy one at that. Nothing of that logic applies when the MC is also surfing above water on magic and zipping through the sky.
