Are you going to make a review for Final Fantasy 14???? Nier is in there.

[@but..whatif1416]

Thank you Brando , you made me spend way to much , for a game that had ... questionable review ... yet again. (My wallet hates you) But what can i say except...CHAOS

[@SaltedMallows]

Wish you covered the multiplayer experience.

[@zanychelly]

Chaos…. Good game but a bunch of nonsense imo . Would be better without the one shot enemies.

[@drums450]

Just started. My favorite interaction so far: Innkeeper: Will you stay the night? Jack: *grunts* Innkeeper: I hoped you'd say that!

[@tjongdavid1921]

What's with that scene though? It feels like the inn keeper has a thing for Jack and Jack doesn't want to admit that he has a thing with the inn keeper. lol

[@johnmoon4743]

The scene with the Elf king. Ek: Astos Jk: Astos? Ek: Friend of yours? Jk: Never heard of him 😅

Jack is like the dude from Goblin Slayer except he's obssessed with Chaos instead of goblins

[@Littleknife1978]

Absolutely, and the voice actor for Goblin Slayer (Umehara Yuuichirou) has very similar fucks-given-zero energy to Tsuda.

As a goblin brain, this excessive amount of loot appeals to me

[@prince_nocturne]

My kobold brain agrees. GIVE SHINIES!

[@princessscotchtape8931]

I was very hyped for this game prerelease. Loved the early 2000s edgy Shadow the Hedgehog-like vibe. The first demo was fun for me (no problem) and I love FF games with a class system. They basically made my dream game.

[@Kasaaz]

In Nioh you could transfer the random bonuses from one item to another, so there were uses for them. Here, all the gear's abilities are basically set. It's just keeping the Nioh drop system even though equipment is way different and simpler now, so that's weird.

[@vault29a]

yall forgot that there will be (they are out already atm) 3 dlcs like TN does for all their games, with new mechanics, difficulties etc. first playthrough is basically a tutorial with the majority of the options locked.

[@Kasaaz]

@@vault29a I didn't forget anything. It's still a better game than Wo Long at least.

[@tristanward9937]

@@Kasaazis that true? Played wo long but not this but wasn’t feeling wo long.

[@Kasaaz]

@@tristanward9937 I liked this more. Because the parrying system is also a resource so you are rewarded more for good timing, but aren't punished completely by bad timing. It feels like you get to learn better. Also a lot of the abilities and spells in Wo Long felt tacked on and useless. Jobs in this game are simple, but each of their abilities feels like it has a purpose.

[@TheCyclicGamer]

Your penalty for dying is losing your Max MP and getting it reset to 200 (Two bars) from whatever it was. You can get it back though (Before possibly dying again) by finding an orb of red smoke usually right where you died.

[@Littleknife1978]

THANK YOU for highlighting Tsuda as Jack. I honestly don't think SOPFFO would work as well as it does without his inimitable gravel. I was iffy on the demo but then I heard his voice and whoomp pre-order done. Great video.

[@NuclearRaven13]

the inventory limit is still 500, you have 4000 reserves storage that you can move items into at a cube or at the world map, you are able to desyth from both so it shows 4500.

[@AmonsRealm]

I did not know that what the fuck

@@Rohgamu story, characters, world and gameplay are all awesome. The ending was especially interesting The loot system can’t be enjoyed until max level, since you keep levelling up SO fast. Don’t get to strategise your gear.

[@Nekomania]

I've been busy with work but the small time i spent with the latest demo really pushed me into wanting to buy it once i finish triangle strategy. I'm still surprised it's already out it feels like they just announced it the other day but maybe i just don't follow the right people and news stuff so i missed it's other trailers. Hopefully there is some dlc or they update the game once or twice maybe some non canon boss fights of villians/protags of other ff games

[@Sheriff_Bruce_Lee]

This is the first I heard that a main dev from PS5 Strikers worked on this and that makes so much sense. Very little of the gameplay reminds me of DS games. And it's not as frantic as DMC/Bayonetta, but there's definitely a quick flow to combat.

[@Xpwnxage]

I got 15 hours into this game but the absurdly high drop rate of trash gear is hurting me, it's draining my vigor to have to keep deleting them. Omg, you're on the loot part, thank you!

[@vault29a]

imagine not selecting a filter for picking up items.

[@Xpwnxage]

@@vault29a I love the game, it's genuinely an amazing a-rpg. That doesn't mean I won't pretend the loot system isn't a waste of time. The game didn't launch with auto-filter firstly but it's been patched in. Secondly, in between every level you have to go into the menu and change the parameters, no big deal. The problem comes when you're trying to select an appropriate level for the gear, at least when you're playing thru the main game and leveling up. Even if you perfectly approximate what level to select, you're still getting dozens of trash gear that you need to manually delete after each mission. Opening treasure chests shouldn't invoke dread, it should be excitement. With that said, it absolutely doesn't ruin the game for me, it's a fast paced, strategic rpg and I love it. But I won't pretend the loot system isn't irritating.

[@vault29a]

oh thank god you have the audio in japanese. thats a subscribe from me, THANK YOU. that aside i cant believe how there is basically 0 coverage of this game's story from anywhere. there's pretty much only your video talking about the story and I cant fathom why. it makes it so hard for someone like me who cant afford the game just yet but would still like to know more about the story, not caring about spoilers. literally no one talks about this game lol

[@GameOverTimeOfficial]

Better to remain silent and be tought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt, that's my opinion on Jack. Also, the fact that Doom guy does not speak and let's his actions do the talking makes a world of difference. Regardless, I really enjoy your videos.

[@Aioba3846]

I remember when "Give Me Chaos" song kicked in on KZbin when I was playing this game and I've burst out laughing for how it reminded me of Jack's attitude. X3

[@CastiellaXIV]

I bought this game at release and I was so upset how much I unironically loved it but now I just love how stupid and fun it is. I also appreciate how you can completely remap the controls so I adjusted it so it’s more similar to Kingdom Hearts “press X to win” and pushing the big damage stamina button in between. I play with a friend and its a lot better to be honest, even if I have to explain every FF reference to him its so much fun. If you just dont take it too seriously and have fun its so good. Still havent actually finished it but looking forward to it!

[@dale7326]

On high level, you can recovery mp by using the special ability on specific jobs. You can build unlimited mp with only 1 s casting is also possible. The fact that you can’t really cheat through bosses aren’t something Soul games tend to have since they don’t use other systems that work to encounter it and you can just break the game for ppl with your build (which will eventually get down to the hill if ppl start to just following one formula of build)

[@Roger3eme]

This game is so awesome. I'm having such a blast.

[@lipsontajgordongrunk4328]

Also your point about Doom Eternal doesn’t really line up because “Doomguy” never interrupts gameplay to talk about how much he hates demons. Like yeah he’s one dimensional but HE isn’t really intrusive or the focus of the game itself.

[@darkriversaben9163]

Thanks for the loot drop tip. I been enjoying this game. Btw version 1 graphics was buggy with the 500 storage. Now version 1.01 is the better version that smooth out most issues. This game as a whole is good game. Update: 1.02 is alittle let down with online multiplayer infinity moving death loop and collision on area such as the flying fortress sent emenies to the shadow realm. Btw the glitch can only be fix in boss area. Plus some boss do a spawning uplift in some of their animation. When in the loop the player can sometimes move instant kill emenies and can't be revive by potions or save cube. Maybe just that alot of people not having 1.02 or something. Kind of remind me of Tiny Tina new boarderland game.

[@Gaby4440]

This is my first time watching one of your vids and I love the same games you do. Subscribed!

[@blueblazer9991]

It's the Nioh team so I expectd a lot of this to be more polished in the DLC

[@jprec5174]

Exactly. Nioh was pretty rough at launch. Now it’s a masterpiece

[@cidfacetious3722]

This game needs its flowers. I picked it up and it was new but then got distracted with other things like Elden Ring finally went back to it and finished it and this is easily one of my favorite ninja games maybe better than nioh 2. Had more fun with it in the end.

[@emperorzz]

Great review! I have to say that I like this game alot, but I agree that it could have been much more polished (the lack of a soul matching system for upgrading equipment like in Nioh was dissapointing. That being saud though I love the gameplay, and the cutscenes are really funny (The Litch scene especially😂)

[@SaltedMallows]

Am I the only person that watched this whole thing and patiently waited for a thorough take on how the multiplayer influences this games experience playing the story start to finish? Only to be met with, eh I'm not gonna explain it. Kinda disappointed on that front. Edit: if anyone carees I could explain how the multiplayer works and effects the game.

[@laststrike4411]

Tell me. Please.

[@blondesummer7980]

I think Jack stopped became "cringe" to me the moment they tell you that something's messing with his head (and all the other party members) especially after seeing all the flashback/forward. There's a reason why he's like this, and the desire to know is one of the main motivation why you want to keep playing. It's still hilarious mind you when he spouts CHAOS, but I was also curious what makes him like this, the whole black crystal memory shenanigans, etc. Also I'd take "cringe" that's completely honest over the quippy irony dialogues that's been around in all kinds of media recently.

[@thechief1997]

In my eyes this review was glowing enough to make me pick up the game. A question to anyone who played/are playing it, I saw the review had both English and Japanese voices, which one is better or are they about the same.

[@coldfrost3]

I've heard a little bit of both so pick what you like though Jacks 7th gen protagonist face makes me lean on the side of English.

[@chrisalvarez4298]

THIS IS A NIOH LIKE!? I'm getting this shit right now! Nioh 1 and 2 are one of my favorite games ever.

Jack is basically me as a player. Skip every cutscene, skip story, no need to listen to what the Boss said, shut up I'm here to kill Chaos.

[@snakeslife-uroborodjinn790]

This is the type of game that I should hate on paper but absolutely love in practise. The gameplay is fantastic but even the story is worth it by the end.

[@Burunoyatsu]

I’m happy you mentioned how Jack being excessively obsessed with Chaos was somehow intended. I think they didn’t expect memes to take off like that, but Jack‘s longing to meet Chaos ties pretty nicely to the revelations towards the end of the game in my opinion.

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

Well you've sold me more than anyone else did. I can't wait to smash stuff as the angriest man!

[@trashcangoblin420]

I super struggled with the combat in this game but your video helped heaps. I still had to drop down to story mode and kept dying left and right (I just could never get the timing of blocks/parties down in 30+ hours… and I finished and loved sekiro?!?!) but I had fun in the end.

[@motorcycle_maintenance]

Sekiro has a parry focussed combat system but Nioh was more focused on dodging

[@hey_its_me_ur_brother]

I don't understand Team Ninja's obsession with loot penatas. By the time I finished Nioh I was just so done with the game. I thought it was because the game overstayed it's welcome but now I know is that I was just exhausted by the constant barrage of useless loot and the endless inventory navigation. That loot system is literally the only thing that holds me back from trying this and Nioh 2.

[@razhberry2390]

Jack is like "Im here to do 1 job, dont talk to me unless its about my work"

[@stardrago7908]

[@Qballiz2kool]

I agree that the opening is just odd, also, I noticed they mentions that their was supposed to by *4* warriors of light, which makes me think that Jack, Ash, and Jed aren’t the true warriors of light, and that something else is going on, ESPECIALLY with Jack, he just seems odd.

[@PS4sos21]

This game is nothing like Nioh. It doesn't even have bear the polish. Its a mediocre game. Team Ninja should have done a better job with this game. I bought the full edition and I still think that it don't have a patch on Nioh and it's definitely not Nioh 3. Thats just insulting..

[@ZeroheartX]

Nioh has better level design and end game building with transferable abilities. SOP is still new but combat is good let's hope Team Ninja and Square continues with updates and improvements

[@SkaerKrow]

How to have absolutely no fun with SoP's combat system: try dodging everything. By default you have little to no I-frames when you attempt to dodge, so unless the move is going to take you completely outside of the attack's hit box, you're always better off parrying. I didn't figure that out until the very final boss (after spending over a hundred hours Dodging-The-World in Elden Ring), and holy crap did it make a big difference. The game wasn't awful, but it still left me with the sense that it had been taken out of the over about three or four months too early. Hopefully the DLC is beefy.

[@BigFatOfFate]

Dodging is fine against boss as you can learn the timing and there aren't other enemies that get in the way but against a group of them guarding does works better. This is anoying though as my brain tries to play this like DMC5 and I had just finished Elden Ring so dodging was just instinctual and I kept forgetting that blocking was a thing. Playing this game on hard mode doesn't help as there is very little room for error.

[@matrix3509]

As someone who has played Nioh and Nioh 2 an unhealthy amount, I can say from experience that, yes, the equipment only starts becoming useful in the endgame, by which I mean the hardest difficulty and the Abyss. In Nioh you eventually start unlocking a new tier of equipment that has new and crazy set bonuses, along with brand new armor and weapon effects. You can then start configuring your armor to offer you complete negation of ranged attack damage. Or you can reconfigure your character to be a complete unarmed beast. Or you can supercharge your own ranged weapons or magic. You even get access to gimmick builds that use the consumable items that basically become useless after the first New Game cycle, like a +5000% damage bonus to Rocks. All the mechanics at the blacksmith the game throws at you in New Game start actually getting used, and they are all pretty useful. There's definite criticisms to be had about locking all this cool shit behind 3 or 4 playthroughs of the game, but if you like the combat of Nioh as much as I did, its not really something you hold against the game.

[@DonutSwordsman]

I couldn't beat nioh 2 or bloodborne, but I can play this on normal difficulty and I'm enjoying my time with it! it was the fast paced action game I needed for when I needed that type of stimulation! also I love jack tho?! like I didn't think I would but his dialogue and personality, he's so blunt and straight forward but he's not mean either. edit: side-note, I played nioh 2 as well and I can't even beat the first area in that, but I can play this no problem. so I dunno what that says about this game over that game, or about me as a player~

My husband and I play this coop together and I legit cannot imagine playing this solo only. It feels like a COMPLETELY different game. We also realized I can stay whatever character that I want the entire time (Neon obvi) but my husband HAS to be Jack the whole time and host the room. AND I get to basically use his Neon as my "glam"/"transmog" as it's what HIS Neon is wearing, despite me playing as her because TECHNICALLY it's using MY Jack's gear. Unnecessarily clunky but doable I guess. We both like it a lot but wow it has so many things to nitpick.

[@infernaldisdain8051]

I was wondering how multiplayer worked, but man is that clunky. IDK why they made it so that you can only play Jack in the main campaign when all of those characters were pretty fleshed out moveset wise.

[@michaeloconnor1281]

Love Team Ninja. Especially the Nioh games. I'd already supported the game so I'm going to get to it eventually but....normally I don't care about graphics at all. But the blur and washed out effect at least on ps4 pro....I just can't. Waiting a bit in hopes a patch at least minimizes some of that blur. Lord knows I tried every setting on my tv before going "nah, it's the fuckin game goddammit!" But it's kinda nice to hear they at least attempt a story towards the end. It's never been Team Ninjas strong suit. Though nioh 2 story was cute and cringey and I enjoyed that. (Phenomenal gameplay though, best pure combat going I reckon)

[@nitinnishant7783]

Nioh never punished us for dying. I have 500 hours in Nioh and never lost my Amrita points once. Why? Because I always carried a bunch of Summoner's Candle. You can use this item to recover your lost points from anywhere. Not to mention that you can buy these candles for pretty cheap using Glory points from the hub area. Kill like 3-4 low level phantoms and you will have enough glory points to buy a couple candles. Even better, join a popular clan and rake in thousands of glory points without doing anything. You also find these candles in every mission. You will always have 7-8 of these candles on you before you start any mission. That's more than enough to make sure you never lose your hard earned xp points.

[@coldfrost3]

We don't know how long it was in development but someone pointed out that as a new game they probably had to use mostly new assets compared to what they had with Nioh 2. But even then this probably needed another couple months to work on visuals since the gameplay is good.

[@Kasaaz]

My guess is their fix for that first demo was to actually just release a previous, working build, instead of the prepared demo build. Just a big guess tho.

[@LorenorSword]

Nioh is not a Souls like. Srsly From Software did not invent action rpgs. Dark Souls is also way more exploration based while both Nioh and SoP are combat based ARPGs. Team Ninjas games are way closer to what Ys is doing

[@AutumnRed]

exactly, people see a third person game with a sword and they already call it a souls like, as if fromsoftware had invented the action rpg genre when they also copied from prior games as every studio does

[@sacrefice_8753]

After seeing this i really dont understand why this game got so much hate. Gameplay looks fun, graphics are nice (for my standarts), mechanics seem interesting, even the loot system doesn't really bother me since i was totally into that stuff in Nioh, always comparing, rerolling and looking for that tiny bit to squeeze out the last bit of my build. Really nice review. Thank you for your efford :)

[@TheCyclicGamer]

Because when it comes to FF, gamers turn into Anton Ego from Ratatouille when it comes to the story while they're usually carefree with almost any other game. This game's story is not bad by the way, it just doesn't waste time with trivial BS like other FF games tend to do. I'll go as far to say that SoP is the best FF game they've put out since FFX.

[@eltinoskimota]

Nioh 1 and 2 aren't souls games. Nioh 1 was in development before demon souls and combat in nioh makes all souls games gay not even sekiro which is an amazing game can touch nioh as a matter of fact ninja gaiden was the souls game before the game. If you played ninja gaiden 1 and 2 cause they F up 3 with pandering to the GOW fans but anyways. I beat all souls games especially the from software titles

Yeah, I didnt dig the loot system in Nioh . I was pretty surprised it was still in 2 and I am suprised its in this. Guess its staying forever.

[@-pressxtostart-]

The problem people make is thry have played so many generic loot games like destiny or borderlands, they think every piece of loot might be important every 5 minutes. In nioh it is far more build to focus on an idea for builds and just focus on that, 99% of your loot is just to be offered for amrita and the 1% is the stuff you want for your setup, you dont need any of the other weapons if you are only making a switchglaive build. Try it that way

I don't even play FF games yet here I am again getting invested

[@OSeanSanO]

I love and hate this game for being simpler than Nioh but still have a good time. This story is so cringe and its been so fun to watch and have a good laugh with a couple drinks in hand lol At the end of the day I look at this as the game to hold me over for a little bit till the next true Nioh style experience. Team Ninja need to step it up.

Despite me hating the main character designs (seriously they look like FF15 npc's) I'm willing to give it a go, the gameplay looks interesting and it being a reimagening of FF1 is neat, as long as I hear the PS4 version is stable because at the moment word is it's terrible.

[@skairuballad2439]

Depends what terrible is exactly. I've had no issues with it myself.

[@Lakefront_Khan]

It's been fine for me.

Great video! I really like the feel of this game, and I wish Square Enix would humble themselves enough to stop doing cash grab tactics. They seem like a juggernaut, but I always hear how they have financial struggles. Stop hyping everyone up with some new release, only to take several years to actually release it. One of my favorite franchises takes advantage of its customers and it's not cool. I'll probably get this game when it's under 25 bucks. hey, they make me wait all the time. lol Peep thiS: If they could have added the world map like you mentioned in type zero...

[@thewhitewolf7241]

I thought the same thing. I’ve taken to calling this Nioh Fantasy.

[@Lakefront_Khan]

The combat is Nioh lite so it's automatically one of the best in the business. The story..........it gets pretty ok in end. My only big issue is the anima crystal farming in the endgame.

[@radimpospisil3580]

I had absolute blast with this game. The combat is one of the best in the industry. I was also suprised how the story clicked in the end.
