A community for everything Final Fantasy!
Discussions, news and art about all games, mainline and spinoff, are welcome!
Rules:
I played this some before work, and I was really impressed. I’m eager to play more later today.
The story seems interesting so far (PALACE INTRIGUE and not “whiny teenager.” And I say that with love; I’ve played every FF save for 11) and the combat is interesting. And not a hint of Cup Noodles anywhere!
Yoshi P, you madman, you’ve done it again.
I just got completely distracted yesterday and totally missed the whole event :(
Just happened to see something about it this morning and scurried downstairs to my PS5 to start the download, lol!
I don't get the complaints from people about the game being easy, it's not like previous Final Fantasy games were really known for how hard they are.
Yeah, if people want difficulty, they can play MegaTen! And i'm telling that as a huge fan of both series
This is WILD.
Honestly shocked with how good the graphics are, the dialog and voice acting, and how great the combat feels.
This demo kinda dropped out of nowhere for me.
Currently on holiday, will need to wait until next week until I can play it… Can't wait! 🥳
Just finished it up. It's real good.
Having to mash on the square button in combat really started tiring out my thumb in longer battles.
It really had me missing the press and hold to attack system of 15 by the end of the demo.
I think they have a difficult ring for that!
Don't forget even if you are only doing basic moves (no eikon) you have a lot more options than just mash square.
You have a closer with thrust/phoenix strike. You can weave every single strike with triangle (timing is tight but doable) and get extra magic bursts to do more will damage.
You can combine abilities to bring enemies into the air (charged shot and especially aerial burning blade work well for this too) so you can do different combos on them there.
All that stuff is doable after you get abilities halfway through the demo. On the Eikonic challenge you have so many options that you can easily tear through stuff doing only a few combos, even on bosses!
Deeply love this demo. Especially Eikonic challenge, really wiped away all my worries about the combat. Very crunchy, a decent amount of skill expression while being easy to pick up at a moderate skill level. I've enjoyed going back through and kicking ass.
