EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC

susan b buffering posted:

there was definitely a very tedious argument recently about at least 12 and maybe tactics being in the same universe as 14 based on the ivalice raid series

That was the second time someone (the same goon?) made that argument.

Anyway, I'm excited for FFXVI.

With that music my initial reaction is “that’s just the Vault from FF14 with DMC5 gameplay” which is not a criticism.

Some streamers are saying they're doing sponsored streams for FF16 on Monday so demo will probably drop before then

The demo is the start of the game and you can carry over the save, so it's more like getting a free appetizer before you start the main course :)

Yeah there's three main dates people have latched onto:

the 8th, since it'll be appearing on Summer Game Fest some 13-14 hours from now, and that's a big event that will be watched by a lot of people

The 11th, since that's when SE will be having a pre-launch celebration stream in Los Angeles

The 12th, since that's when streamers have been asked to do sponsored streams of the demo

Its gonna be the 11th, the streamer thing makes me believe it. They are trying to sell the game to people who wouldnt normally buy it or are on the fence due to recent past games, hence the streamer stuff

Both of these characters will be traumatized. It is the contrast that makes it truly Grimdark.

In fact, we've already seen the dog be abused by Benedikta in promotional material.

Perhaps this game will focus on cycles of abuse. That is the true hidden message of the preview content - the scene where Torgal and Benedikta abuse each other. Clive must break the chain and get them to be friends.

The game marketing makes you think it will be gritty and dark, but in reality Clive and Torgal will become friends with all the Dominants. They will even become friends with that one genocidal priest guy. At the the end of the game, they will all be playing fetch with Torgal.

Imagining the big Titan guy holding up Torgal like he's a pup, a big smile on his face.

edit: That gif of Jill and puppy Torgal, but it's Titan guy and grown-up Torgal

It culminates with Titan cheerfully holding the secret Eikon form of Torgal, Fenrir. The last scene is Lord of Crags waving the divine canine's paw at the player as the screen fades to black.

^^^ I hope that the game itself gives itself "time to breath" and isn't just constantly trying to be a spectacle for the player.

Soken definitely has some patterns to the way he does this kind of music; there are multiple parts where I feel like the track could suddenly transition into an FF14 track. That's probably part of what lends it well to be used in different forms through the game, though. He's good at creating these memorable "core melodies."

Edit: Spotify says I need premium to listen to it, so I only got the part in the tweet :(

I dunno why that guy calls it the main theme when there has been no information released about it, and the only interview with Soken about the main theme is that there is not really any one track he considers the main theme.

I'm still waiting for a Final Fantasy where every story battle, including the final boss, has an optional alternate route of being settled through a game of Triple Triad (or whatever cool new minigame the devs invented); when I heard you could challenge everyone in FF8 to Triple Triad this is what I was expecting, and I ended up very disappointed
