I mean, unless you can walk into a store and buy a PS5 at a suggested retail price, this delay has no consequence whatsoever.

I guess every day it's delayed is probably another day we have to wait for PS5 exclusivity to expire.

It sucks but it wasn't unexpected - and it's hard to be upset about a delay when we didn't know the release window to begin with. I do think it's a bit mad that WFH is still causing problems on this scale. I know it's something Japan has struggled with since the start but when most industries and countries have been working just as efficiently (in many cases even more efficiently) from home for a year now it's an odd contrast. Especially since Endwalker was only delayed by 2-3 months.

Eh it's possible that'll be the next project after FFVI is out but I'm not taking that leak as gospel since it also included Chrono Cross and FFIX which seem incredibly unlikely.

I know it would be much more trouble than it's worth, but a "lets make the game somewhat bearable to look at and play in TYOOL 2022" update for XI would be great. It's one of those games that I feel like I missed the boat on enjoying because it's so ludicrously dated now that I can't enjoy anything about it whenever I install it.

Thanks for the education on who Embracer is. I guess I don't have to worry about no more Tomb Raiders now, but I still have to be concerned about dumb NFT bullshit in SE games going forward. Ideally that idiot house of cards will crumble before they go too hard on implementation. Until I see some proof of concept from them I'm not going to worry too much, I don't really see how NFT poo poo can be integrated into story based JRPG titles unless it's just gacha but worse.

It'll be gacha but worse but it'll also either be wildly unsuccessful (like every other major attempt to get in on this scam in the game industry has been) or be cancelled before it actually happens because NFTs are already basically dead as a concept.

it's shocking that otherwise successful and stable studios would be treated as quick cash, though

They've been treated with utter disdain for the past decade so it's not hugely surprising. Literally no level of blockbuster success was good enough for Square, and I hope in five years' time they realise how short sighted this decision was.

Reception on the 13 series is that 13 has solid gameplay but a pretty meh story, 13-2 is pretty mixed since the story embraces its own stupidity and it opens up the gameplay more but has bad balance as a result, and LR is the best of the bunch since it's had two games to refine the gameplay and a story with actual structure.

I don't remember any gameplay in 13.

I'm seeing a lot of complaining about the battle system but I'm long since resigned to the fact that they're going with action-based combat from here on out. At least now the action seems to be competent, which will be a nice change.

Harrow posted:

Yeah I've been expecting the series to go in a full-action direction ever since like FFXIII, I'm just a little bummed that there's no party. FF7R showed that they could have an action combat system and still have multiple party members you can switch between so I was hoping we'd get something like that (or an even better version) in XVI.

That said the whole combat system being about channeling classic FF summons and DMC style switching between them to chain together sick combos looks really fun. I'm slightly disappointed that you'll only play as Clive but I do think the combat looks really rad.

I mean I guess it's possible that they're still holding other playable party members back for future trailers (since they really showed nothing about the plot here beyond some empire/war soundbites) but yeah, it is a shame.

Did people complain this much when Lightning Returns just had Lightning as the protagonist? "God, I'm so sick of them making Final Fantasy a vagina party. First FFX-2 and now this. All the FF games forever are now just only about women and I hate it."

Not really the same is it when the only two all-female games are sequels that released with little fanfare and were largely ignored in the mainstream.

So the website's character page only lists five characters as of today's update (Clive, Josh and Jill from the first trailer, and Titan and Garuda's dominants), and doesn't include all the Empire people, various politicians and important looking military people in the trailers.

So maybe these five are important enough to get space on the website because they're all playable in some way? Idk, maybe a reach but it's possible.

I doubt they're gonna be playable because the combat for Clive looks really fleshed out with a bunch of different movesets you can swap between on the fly.
they're definitely gonna be story important tho

I guess but DMC5 had three extremely fleshed out playable characters with distinct combat styles so it's not like there's no precedent.

Don’t say mean things like this about those two. Mistwalker hasn’t made anything noteworthy for a decade. Fantasias seems ok but nothing to write home about.

While a reveal, official title and a little bit of footage would be great, I really want some real details like:

- Whether they're attempting any sort of open world or if there'll be some other way to transition between locations.
- Whether there'll be more of a party function this time around since we'll likely have met all of the characters by the end of part 2.
- Whether they're going to try to reinvent combat and progression between games (I bloody hope not because the first one nailed it).
