Hope it doesn't need a movie/anime tie-in and 4 story DLCs for the full experience

Yay! Another Final Fantasy to add to my Steam library!
Now if S-E can just release I & II on Steam, it would make the PC the only platform to hold all numbered titles from the main series! |

I also get massive FF14 vibes from it.
My main question after the trailer is the party, are we doing the journey alone? or just with two? Also I really hope it won't be such a cut content fiasco that was FF15. |

Ah, finally giving it to Yoshida's team. Really gives me a Vagrant Story vibe (no surprise considering that Yoshida worships at Matsuno's altar) what with the more grounded setting (which...is not really a thing with FF), the muted color palette, and grim tone. Also like that they're FINALLY doing an action-based system that's more DMC than whatever the heck FFVIIR is.
Another thing is it seems to be outright going after some FF cliches like the crystals (saying how they've defined history for too long) and the MacGuffin summoner (by blowing him up!). I feel this has been long overdue. As I saw on Twitter, this is the first new FF announced in over 14 years (everything through XV was announced in 2006) so this is a real new beginning. Looking forward to more |

So I guess turn base final fantasy is well and truly dead, the gameplay of FF1 to 13 is gone, to be replaced by the gameplay of FF15, Wohoo
It looks more like a devil may cry than anything really, which I just don't really care for. Traditional JRPG are really going extinct, aside from the deluge of RPG maker. |

The main character legit looks like the WOL. I was so confused watching the trailer. I thought it was a new expansion for 14. That said... I'm... interested. I actually really, really enjoy action RPG and the fast paced combat, and aside from just characters in general in 15 one of the things I really enjoyed was the combat system, so I'm glad they didn't go back to turn based. That said I'm very worried it's going to be another 15 situation where they put out half a game, and lock everything behind DLC and then your left playing a game where it just feels like chunks are missing. I also liked that it looked kind of darker, and that it seemed to sway back toward the fantasy elements of Final Fantasy, which I'm not sure we've seen since maybe 9? I also read where someone said the person who did the combat in 16 also did the combat in DMC 5 so... Last edited by AntiKuro on Wed Sep 16, 2020 10:08 pm; edited 1 time in total |

What is your point exactly? That theres gonna be a PC version. Alright, and? I can't really care.
Your loss for not caring about DMC. If the combat here is anything like that franchise then this game will be worth buying for the possibly spectacular gameplay alone. And from the trailer, its looking pretty damn intense. |

It was been a thing going back to FFVII, to release it on PlayStation first and then port it to PC later.

Since the game is still in development, I guess it won't be releasing on PC anytime soon. Kinda bummer, but that's the way things are, I guess.

My "point" was simply giving facts. And mosty laughing at how Square Enix is being jokers here. Sony (not Square Enix) apparently told people the exclusivity time frames: https://twitter.com/PiersHR/status/1306365709363097606?s=20 |

There are still a ton of traditional JRPG out there and honestly Final Fantasy was never a series with many common elements to begin with. Depending on what the game and world wants to do you need to have a different battle system like 12 did and while I do like the traditional turn based battle system most of the times more, it doesn't mean that a action based one can't be good too. If you want a traditional JRPG Dragon Quest was always the better series and I myself can't wait for DQ12! |

I have all the faith in the world in Yoshi P., but I would be lying if I said I was extremely enthusiastic after watching the trailer. I was really hoping for a more traditional FF game. Oh well, I will still probably enjoy it.

This was a pleasant surprise, I heard some rumors but I wasn't expecting a new mainline FF game, especially since FFVIIR was treated like a mainline title anyway. Now the game itself looks interesting, I'm glad it has a more medieval fantasy feel than previous titles like XIII and XV, although it has a gritty feel like western RPGs such as Skyrim and The Witcher. That's not a bad thing, since the orignal FF was inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, but I wish Square would make a more colorful title like FFIX again, also I kinda of miss turn-based combats.

off to a good start here. Promised to release more of your exclusive games on PC. So far, you are just announcing PC releases then retracting the announcments.
Your customers aren't brainless. Treat them like this and they just won't buy your console. |

Well there's already DMC5 that will come out soon, and platinum will probably make another game like it soon too. But there's pretty much no traditional JRPG being made anymore, every half decade we get a DQ game and that's pretty much it (well atelier game here and there, but their quality is so bare bone it's impossible to care). |
