Out of curiosity, are the accessory slots only for the difficulty modifier Timely accessories, or are there also accessories that are just normal pieces of equipment?

I can imagine Yoshi-P is thrilled to have been able to work on something that's not XIV.

But even beyond that you can tell they really put love into this one.

I am very confident it will come to PC, but not for at least six months. I'm guessing within 12 months.

My confidence is based on nothing except for the fact that all the other numbered ffs are on pc

Would you ever buy a video game for $570? Never get a console for a single game.

Miss Mowcher posted:

It is confirmed for PC, but they said they don’t have a date and it’ll take a while. So if you can wait a year at least no need to buy a console :shrug:. Getting a PS5 can still be worth it for other Sony first party games, guess it’ll depend on your budget.

The advantage of me not having a PS5 means that I cannot actually listen to the part of my brain that tells me to day one purchase all Final Fantasy games and now I can actually obtain more information to see if I like it before it comes out on PC or I get a PS5.

I got lucky and snagged a PS5 a few years ago during The Scalper Apocalypse. It's a rad as hell console, would recommend.

I camped out at a GameStop at 3am for a drop of four consoles in my immediate metro area back when they were impossible to find. Was it dumb? Yes. Did I get one? Also yes.

Not that there was any question that he would be, just wondering

I got lucky and did a walk up pre-order in December 2020 and got it first week of Jan. They stopped doing walk up orders right after I got mine, presumably because it was too easy to get a PS5 that way versus pressing F5 for 20 hours a day.

There's normal accessories as well, like +10 Strength, or ones that modify specific eikonic abilities abilities (+10% damage to stagger bar, reduced cooldown, etc.)

It was, as you say, practically confirmed from the start, it was officially confirmed in this blog post from June last year

I'm happy that this game is not a "pure" open-world game. Having it be vaguely FFX-ish but with a few very large zones sounds ideal.

Everything I've seen/heard so far has been very good. The only thing I'm a little uncertain about is the controls for switching Eikons; toggling between 3 seems more awkward than some alternative control scheme that lets you immediately choose one of them. Like using the same control scheme as the FF14 crossbars, where you can press L1 (or L2) to activate one Eikon's skills, R1 (or R2) for another, and L1 + R1/L2 + R2 at the same time for the third.

I guess maybe the idea is that you'll usually just cycle through them in the same order? I'm just forseeing some situation where Titan is my 2nd Eikon and I'm currently on my 3rd and need to block something, and have trouble hitting L2 twice in time to do it.

Yeah! I feel really good about this one. Square has been learning and perfecting their real time combat systems. If we had only FF15 to go off of, I would be very concerned. But everything else they put out since then, and the Devil May Cry 5 combat designer being on this, makes this feel like a sure thing.
