Yeah after like 2 years of a painfully slow drip feed I feel like they're showing too much now. I'm fully sold and I just want to play the drat thing.

Sakurazuka posted:3 cheaper than digital In the UK at least this is a rare occasion where (at RRP at least) the digital version is £5 cheaper than physical. I've ordered the physical version simply because I've always bought physical copies of new FF games. But they haven't used the cool white boxart since 12 anyway so there's not much point these days.

Yeah I'd much rather be able to see objects moving rather than marvel at how realistically I can't see them. That said I do get a kick out of a well done depth of field effect.

Oxxidation posted:game of thrones had global pop culture in a deathgrip for years before its producers hosed it up so badly the whole thing vaporized, but you still smell the leftover smoke from time to time House of the Dragon is really good so far and seems to have revived a lot of the goodwill. I don't think it's the property or setting that people were turned off by, just the utter poo poo that was season 5-8 of the show.

It's weird how little presence Takai has had in the game's marketing. Obviously people love YoshiP and they want to put him front and centre, but I bet most people don't even realise some other guy's actually directed the thing. I guess you don't get all that many situations where a producer takes so much of the credit.

What counts when numbering Eikon fights? I'm not long after the five year timeskip and I don't know whether Eikon fight specifically means the fights against the eight Eikons or any fights where you play as Ifrit. Does the Ifrit vs Ifrit metaphorical fight count? Or the Typhon one?

It feels a reasonable amount faster. The main advantage for me is it makes it easier to run past enemies that I've already fought a bunch of times.

WaltherFeng posted:I watched Ongbal use Rook's Gambit in some of his no damage videos and I've been really sleeping on this skill. It recharges fast and deals really good stagger damage as long as you use it aggressively. I'll definitely have to use heatwave more as well because most bosses poo poo out projectiles. Yeah counters are easily my favourite abilities despite me being pretty terrible at pulling them off. Rook's Gambit's counter animation is super satisfying.

Each of her bits last like 30 minutes at most and she's a fun enough character that it doesn't really matter that it's slow. The only thing I dislike about her is that she gave up on building her airship. Imagine being a ship engineer in a Final Fantasy game and not building an airship.

Vanderdeath posted:I mean, she's 100% correct in her assumptions that her airship design would get weaponized almost immediately, especially in the societal upheaval Cid and Clive initiated. Also don't forget that there is a massive cataract in the sea from an ancient war that is surrounded by fallen airships. Yeah but it would've been really fuckin' rad.

I can't believe I've gotten to the end of the game and beaten all the sidequests and that ominous looking door in The Dim just never came up again. That's the biggest DLC hook in the drat game.

Boy of Joy posted:I’m not quite sure why they didn’t let you save loadouts in this game and FF7R. Stranger of Paradise is right over there doing it! Really hope they add them in Rebirth I very much doubt there was much interaction or communication between Team Ninja, BD1 and CBU3 - and the vast majority of development for the three games would've been simultaneous. Maybe they'll have taken some ideas from SoP and implemented them into Rebirth though.

WaltherFeng posted:The consensus seems to be that FF16 was alright but theres not much to talk about is there? It feels like it was made in a hurry so they could get it out before FF7R part 2. It didn't live up to the expectations set by FF7R part 1 either. They spent like 7 years on it and they only announced a release date when they were confident it was done so I don't think you can call it rushed.
