The kaiju battles look like glorified cutscenes but they sure look cool

Also lol that they need 2 NPCs dedicated to explaining the plot

EDIT: Have they said anything about graphics modes yet? I'd be pleasantly surprised if there was a 60 fps performance mode

^^^ I like the NPC that gradually gives you info dumps as you do more side quests. It's absolutely just an excuse to try to encourage you to spend time doing side content, but I will definitely engage with that sort of gamification and look forward to reading the new things.

This looks like my ideal game. Story-focused thing with flashy combat and various Lore stuff.

I also like how a lot of the boss battles basically seem like action versions of FF14 boss fights.

They definitely showed a bit too much of the Eikon battles imo but loving hell this game looks awesome. Roll on June 22

Yeah, it looks amazing but I'm pretty sure they've shown at least like 3/4 of the Eikon battles in the trailers, if not all of them (since they've shown one for every Eikon Clive seems to get powers from that isn't also a party member).

There is. 60fps performance mode in 2k I believe, and 30fps 4k.

Yeah this was the biggest relief since I was worried about the 60fps being 1080p. Absolutely going with the 1440p/60 (though I may change it for cutscenes; my TV's frame interpolation stuff works extremely well for that, but not as well for actual fast-paced action).

It's kind of funny how Cid doesn't seem more than like 10 years older than older-Clive, if that. Guy looks like he's no older than his early 40s.

I wonder if the dog is going to smoke a blunt

Edit: The dog will die because he went into battle high. An anti-drug cautionary tale.

I just realised, there hasn't been a water eikon previewed at all, has there? Leviathan's nowhere to be seen. Unless Typhon took his place?

I don't know how much is proven and how much is fan theory stuff but I thought I'd read Leviathan is in.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's endgame/final villain territory though. Clive & Joshua are Ifrit and Phoenix, water's a natural opposite.

Leviathan hasn't shown up in any of the previews but it is in the art amano made for the collector's edition box.

Game officially confirmed to not be available in Saudi Arabia because SE were unwilling to change the game's content.

Whatever that implies.

There were some tweets a couple months ago about FFXVI having LGBT content that the team was not going to remove or censor in any region to avoid being banned, so I'm guessing that's what this is about.
