Wings of Change - Final Fantasy XVI (Part 2)

Little thing I noticed. When an Eikon's eyes are blue, that indicates the Dominant is in control. When the eyes are yellow, the Eikon is in control. Nice little detail the devs put in there.

I love how put-together and focused FF16 is. The limited inventory preventing the classic RPG hoarding situation, focus on a singular character and really tight script -- it really puts the focus on the moment-to-moment gameplay and the story; this game really knows what it wants and needs to be and laser-focuses on polishing those parts to the fullest. It's really refreshing to see after so many games and even previous FF titles pile on numerous systems and resource management as indispensible parts of the "RPG experience".

[@sailorb00]

Loving how absolutely devastating the Eikons/summons are in this game-all previous installments had big flashy moves that destroyed their environment for... 10 seconds. But these guys are just final fantasy kaiju, where their actions and attacks have lasting consequences. Love it! 😘👌

[@Sollace1]

It certainly puts things into perspective on why the Eikons basically dont care about who they kill when they are fighting. At the scale they are going at it, humans are so small its like going out of your way not to step on ants while flinging around giant magical attacks.

[@Uldihaa]

Yeah, it's the first FF game I've played where the over-the-top Summon attacks actually left lasting damage in the world.

[@j800r_aswell]

There are no summons essentially. It follows the FF XIV system a lot more. It's not really possible to compare them. Summons are summons, Eikons are Eikons.

Thank you for sharing the Adventures of Torgal with us Jesse. I wish I had a PS5 to play it myself but I'm happy to watch your videos. I love your knowledge, and yes to got a Zilart from FFXI vibe from all the ruins in FF16. I can't wait to see where this story goes and again thank you for sharing it with us all.

[@TheSilverOrn]

Jesse, would you consider doing maybe a short segment as a separate video or as an end to these where you just go over the lore and the new info that's been unlocked? This world and setting are huge and I love the theory crafting involved with this game. Also thank you so much for not cutting these videos down to 30 minute long segments each day... That would be hell for someone like me that enjoys this game and can't play it yet...

I JUST finished the last episode like 10 minutes ago And I'm here for this, watching what most people probably aren't - the armor and the cloth rigging. I'm not gonna get to play this game, BUT I need to research it regardless, so Jesse, you are now research material!

[@Yvanne]

The VFX work is absolutely stellar in this game. I found myself crying for the VFX artists moreso than the game itself at times. Lol

[@nanoflower1]

@@Yvanne I agree the VFX work is great. As for you @kurribro, you are just plain weird. (that's a joke) LOL. I get being into the armor and cloth rigging but wanting to get into which one is best seems odd if you aren't going to play the game. On the other hand it makes perfect sense for Jesse to spend time on it since he benefits by either getting the perfect look or the best defense rating.

[@Kuuribro]

@@nanoflower1 Well, I'm a technical game artist. I am watching that stuff, like I said, to STUDY - as in, how do these characters' clothes move, what do they get away with, what clips and doesn't, etc Watch Clive's armor around the neck when he turns his head, it should be hard leather but it deforms to move away from his chin to avoid mesh clipping issues. That sort of thing!

[@decusq]

This Final Fantasy is giving me SO MANY GOOD VIBES. The world is interesting, the characters are great, the atmosphere is drawing me in, I haven't felt this good watching a Final Fantasy since FF10. Did Yoshi P finally bring Final Fantasy back after all these years?

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

He did. I loved the previous few mainline games but this one stands above those games easily.

[@decusq]

@@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams couldn't play 11, 12 had good world building but the characters and story felt poorly executed, 13 was a beautiful MESS, 14 didn't play much and 15 tried WAY too hard to appeal to western development and audiences first hand plus changing directors and visions. FF16 FINALLY feels like it has a cohesive vision, the world feels like a WORLD people would live in. The flavor dialogue between NPCs feels believable. And i am LOVING these characters, first time in YEARS i am happy to be a Final Fantasy fan again! Yoshi P and his teams did it they freaking did it!

[@Invalidationcoded]

@@decusq 14 is good. I suggest you give it another shot. I'm up to the middle of the Shadowbringers expansion and still enjoying it. I feel like 16 tackles some similar themes and it has a similar tone, though this one has overall been "serious" and broody almost the entire time so far.

[@j800r_aswell]

It never went anywhere. XII was great (and honestly, in terms of narrative and character style is very similar to this one so I'm confused how you disliked it), XIII sold well even if it wasn't received well by everyone. I personally love the game. XV sold extremely well despite the development hell and hot mess that resulted. Tbh, the player base only have themselves to blame for that. People came down on XIII hard, so they tried to create the exact opposite. Also, the fact that you latch onto that one name shows that you're a huge FF XIV fan and technically that was released way after X. He was not solely responsible for this game. In fact, I think you'll be surprised at just how minimal his involvement was. A lot of the development team have also worked on XIV, true. They also worked on The Last Remnant. Yoshi P did not direct FF XVI though. He was simply on the production team. I think the guy is lauded way too much when it comes to the franchise as a whole. He played a massive role in reviving XIV, but the franchise has numerous alumni who are underutilised these days. Kitase is overseeing FF VII Remake, so he's seeing some use. Ito has seen very little involvement in recent years aside from overseeing the FF XII Remaster. His credentials are incredible though. He devised the ATB system, co-directed FF VI with Kitase, directed IX (arguably the greatest game in the franchise), co-directed and devised the battle system for XII. Aside from Nomura (who for some reason has been made the poster child), these great names in the franchise have barely been used since XII.

[@decusq]

@@j800r_aswell XIII sold well due to brand name and 6 years of advertising Hype behind it. Not to mention it is forever cursed with the phrase "you have to play 20 hours for it to be good" not a good title to have. I learned that the HARD WAY. Green lighting TWO SEQUELS THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR! And to elaborate on XII. The biggest problem I had with it was the characters as individuals were ok and each one had a pretty good backstory. HOWEVER as a group of comrades in arms their dynamic is one of the worst in the franchise, they don't play off each other well and never truly connect with one another, MAINLY because Basch was supposed ot be the main character and was replaced with Vaan right before Development was going into effect because the CEOs were worried Basch was too old. That and the battle gameplay is awful, they ripped it from FF11 pretty much. And as for FFXV, 13 years of Hype for a mediocre game! And before you point out it was only in development for THREE YEARS, VERSUS 13 was it's originator! I count those years in development! However I do not blame the developers mostly, it's the CEOs fault and partly Nomuras fault for re-writing the story for 7 years and then having poor Tabata to decipher 7 years of story development into something they could salvage in FF15, why drop 13's title? Because they realized any association with 13 was poison then!

[@FlexxibleFree]

"Get out of there!" Jesse can you IMAGINE how far would they have to get out of there? By the looks of it MULTIPLE KILOMETERS at least, and that's like an hour of running nonstop

Clive meets the Phoenix, he gets fire powers. Fights Garuda, gets wind powers. Fights Imperial soldiers, becomes an Imperial soldier. Meets an underground freedom-fighter, becomes an underground freedom-fighter. Clive's eikon can't possibly be Ifrit, when all signs clearly point to FAMED MIMIC GOGO.

[@taddad2641]

my guess. ifrit in this setting differs from others. he's not a 'fire elemental'. he's hollowed out and needs to consume other things. joshua giving clive pheonixc fire allowed the ifrit inside of him to gain strength. but joshua losing control and transforming caused clive to transform too, cause of that link. ravenous the ifrit attacked joshua.

[@trise2033]

Clive is Mega Man, yes.

[@Blunderbuss09]

Man I haven't been interested in the Final Fantasy series in YEARS - since FF13 actually - and this is the first one to actually grab my attention. Granted a lot of FF games started strong and then nose-dived but here's hoping that doesn't happen here. Apparently the devs were required to watch Game of Thrones in order to create a similar 'feel' and that either is a good thing or chillingly prophetic. Let's see which it is!

[@CanisMythson]

*They were required to watch Game of Thrones up till Season 4. So they stopped before that series nosedived itself.

[@tinybee7780]

Benedikta was taken out from the game too soon. She unfortunately got the Lady Dimitrescu treatment where the game would have benefitted from her surviving a little bit longer. Storywise, it makes sense she had to be removed but still, R.I.P. Benna. Jesse's learning real quick that the game doesn't offer much in terms of exploration it seems. The devs really just want the players experience the MSQ so there really isn't much to offer outside measly gil here and there you can pick up.

[@PyckledNyk]

There are sub bosses sprinkled throughout the world in some branching paths

[@pedrostormrage]

The hooded figure is called both "Lord Margrace" (30:10) and "Your Grace" (2:08:48), so those seem like important hints.

[@recallshifter]

Hey Jesse, loving the playthrough so far, but i have one critique. Your Cam placement could be better, cause it obstructs the enemy health bar that you are fighting. The bottom right would be a better choice going forward since we, the audience don't need to see the attack prompts anymore and seeing that red health bar drain would get us hyped more n the long run.

[@StevenHouse-d4b]

You ever have one of those "Wow, did that just happen?!" moments only to immediately think "Ok, so I'm not surprised that just happened." That was my exact reaction when Jesse teleported back to town and replayed a whole section of fights just to pick up a 2 gil loot drop he missed. Yup, sounds like Jesse!

[@Dracobyte]

I would really recommend getting the Lunge Attack (Stinger from Devil May Cry): - Great gap closer to enemies - Good combo initiator - Looks cool

[@Touyagirl]

I have to be careful with this playthrough cause I’m playing the game and don’t want to get ahead of myself. But I also love hearing Jesse’s take on story and world building beats.

[@mafiacat88]

Okay so personal bet (as of 2 hours into this one), I'm going to say that the hooded guy is Joshua. He saw Joshua as the hooded guy in the past because of some weird crystal connection/time shenanigans, and he was thinking of joshua at the time when he freaked and turned into the secondary fire eikon. While he can steal the powers of the others, he doesn't have full control when he goes full kaiju mode. Also turns out I lied about watching the last one over a few days, since I just marathoned it instead. It's been a fun series.

[@Sollace1]

That is also my theory at this point. They clearly go out of their way to not show the hooded guys upper face or hair because it would instantly give it away if he was a blond fire dominant. As far as i remember they didnt actually find Joshua's body after his 'death' did they?

[@Uldihaa]

It took me awhile to learn to switch to Garuda for Deadly Embrace on a partial stagger, too. But once I did, it made her Gouge make so much more sense. Garuda is basically the Eikon you use to do rapid Stagger meter damage, but a lot of her attacks take a bit of time to finish. So getting the boss-type to partial stagger and using Deadly Embrace to get them prone gives you time to use Gouge to its fullest without being interrupted or hit. So for right now, my Stagger meter combo is Scarlet Cyclone + regular combat (normal attacks + Phase Attacks + Thrust) to 50% -> Deadly Embrace -> Extended Gouge (you can make the attack longer by hitting the Square button) + regular combat -> Stagger -> Limit Break and using as many high damage abilities as I can.

[@gahlster]

WEll, if I was in charge of saving the world I would drop Jesse behind enemy lines with the mission to get all the loot. Shortly after, the enemy would have severe supply issues.

[@Bewilderforce]

I think the hooded guy might be a somehow-survived Joshua, but there's a chance that he might actually be Dominant of Ifrit, at the same time Clive is Dominant of Ifrit as well. Given Clive's displayed propensity for Eikon-slurping, it's possible that around the time of the Phoenix-Ifrit fight he got enough Ifrit juice from the hooded guy to become a full-on Dominant of Ifrit too. If that's the case, then there's the possibility that the hooded guy, as Ifrit, was the one who killed Joshua-as-Phoenix, but I think it's more likely that Clive was the one to do the deed, 'cause if he guzzled the Ifrit juice, the hooded guy wouldn't have enough to Eikon it up. Also, I remember a one or two second bit in a trailer of an Ifrit vs. Ifrit standoff, which is hugely influencing my predictions here.

[@shinigamiinochi]

It makes sense that Clive was the one who 'killed' Joshua (I also think the cloaked dominant is just Joshua who somehow survived) since the pillar of fire that Ifrit emerged from was right where Clive was. There is no way he could have survived otherwise. And we see Ifrit absorbing the Phoenix's fire, just like Clive can.

[@The_Erlking]

Could it be possible for multiple dominates to exist? The lore we have is that there's a single Eikon of each element but then there's Ifrit so ... damn this is a good entry so far

There are now two known dominants of fire, one is for Phoenix and one is for Ifrit, both were of noble blood, and the servant called the unknown dominant of fire "Your grace" so unless Clive is currently fighting for control over Ifrit with his lost twin brother, we have two real, live royal dominants of fire roaming the place. One for Phoenix and one for Ifrit.

Joshua is still alive, the game is basically giving obvious hints, the hooded guy is Joshua all grown up, he would be around 21 to 23 years old and the reason why he is wearing the hooded robe is to hide that he is alive, keeping that he is alive secret, I have no doubt Joshua will show himself and put down the hood at some point the more you progress in the game, and when that happens I will say I fking knew it! lol

I am wondering about how the Eikons are aspected in this one. We already know five, being Phoenix/Ifrit for Fire, Garuda Wind, Ramuh Lightning, Shiva Ice and Titan Earth. So far, nothing out of the ordinary, and that leaves Water, and potentially Holy/Light and Dark? Now of course the elements might be unique to FFXVI but I thought it was interesting. Bahamut and Odin, as I could quickly read, usually isn't aspected so I am curious to see what they are wardens over

[@INTCUWUSIUA]

I do recall some promotional material mentioning Odin was dark in this one

[@alenezi989a3]

I'm assuming Bahamut is Holy, since he's from the "Holy Empire", so that would leave Odin for Dark, and it works since Odin usually is either lightning or non-elemental, but since every Eikon is an element in this game and lightning is taken.
