Meh. FF XVI looks better.

 

[killatopak]

I can already envision the future trailer for part three.

It opens with 3 discs in huge font.

 

[Katajx]

Very happy with this! Can’t wait!

 

[NickFire]

All I saw was a game trailer, in 2023, with a wild appearance of thin waist, pronounced hips, and a mini-skirt. That's basically 3/4 of the way to day 1 these days.

 

[reksveks]

Looks good, still curious about the world map but not going to be something that bugs me too much.

Hope they go real crazy with the story.

 

[Doom85]

HOLY SHIT. This is going to fucking rule.

 

[Fredrik]

Looked like some realtime turn based mix or am I just seeing what I want to see here?

 

[DragoonKain]

Does anyone know how they'll be handling the leveling? Will you start back on level 1? I can't imagine you'll be able to import saves since many maxed out their characters in FF7R and it would make Rebirth a breeze.

 

[Camreezie]

2 discs on a ps5 in 2024. Jesus christ square enix

 

[Knightime_X]

GIVE IT!!!

 

[K2D]

Meh. FF XVI looks better.

And yet I'm infinetly more exited for this..!

(two discs?? lol)

 

[MagiusNecros]

Looks good.

Gonna guess a 2025-2026 PC release.

ff7 is day1

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

THAT LOOK FUCKING EPIC HOLY SHIT

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Can't wait to see Maximillian_dood's reaction to this!

 

[Sethbacca]

Day 1 baybeeeee

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

I’m assuming 2 discs because it will be loaded with pre-rendered cutscenes. Kind of a cop out to get the game out faster but I would like to see this end on PS5 and not go into PS6.

 

[Sethbacca]

Why the fuck would you advertise the 2 discs part? Is it meant to be impressive?

They're telling you it's going to be up to a 200gb game, so kinda inferring that it's going to be a huge game. Whether it's impressive or not is up to you though.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Why isn't the upload in 4K

The first one didn’t really have many cgi. I think only the opening and the ending has cgi. Maybe when the pizza slice fell and that was it?

 

[john2gr]

The open-world area will be full of pop-ins. At 0:50 you can see the shadows forming in front of view (due to a low shadow cascade). You can also easily notice the LOD issues of distant objects (like grass, flowers, etc) a few seconds earlier (right after Cloud opens the door and we get to see the open area). So, don't expect "next-gen" graphics like UE5. This appears to look similar to FF VII Remake, but with an open-world area. So, don't get overhyped about its graphics. They are great, but they feel the same as those of Spider-Man 2.

 

[Synless]

There was so much to unpack in that trailer.

God tier showing to say the least.

 

[dwish]

Hmm the chocobo farm looked ruined and abandoned..

 

[mortal]

I need a direct feed, high-bitrate trailer.

Hm.. thought it would be a traditional turn-based rpg.

But why? Did you completely skip Remake?

 

[TheAssist]

It still needs a bit more polish, though.

Yeah not gonna lie, FF16 doesnt look too great in some of the outdoor sections, at least when it comes to the foilage. Maybe Square struggles a bot with that kind of stuff. But I stopped caring too much about graphics these days. The characters look amazing, so do the animations and as long as the door textures load in properly I am A-OK.

 

[MAtgS]

Why is the 2 disc thing that big a surprise? Remake was on 2 discs.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Who uses discs?

 

[YukiOnna]

[touchfuzzy]

I don't understand, is it the next part of the previous episodic remake? What bits does it include vs the original full game? Does it include the previous remake bits (and if so remastered/upgraded to standard)? Or is it a new full remake?

Hm.. thought it would be a traditional turn-based rpg.

Looked like some realtime turn based mix or am I just seeing what I want to see here?

Where TF have you guys been the last like six years.

The vegetation also doesnt move or reacts. Looked pretty rough

Yes we need the trailer in 4k dammit Square. The 1st Rebirth trailer was also 1080p.

Meanwhile all the XVI trailer are 4k.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

A glimpse of CG cutscenes. 2 discs.


Thank god for Creative Business Unit 1.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Why is the 2 disc thing that big a surprise? Remake was on 2 discs.

Was it? I only had it digital

 

[TheCed]

This looks amazing !!!

 

[dwish]

And there was nothing really shown past the cargo ship except for the reunion stuff

And Yuffie and Red XIII playable

[killatopak]

Probably because PS5 supports triple layer bluray with 100gb capacity while PS4 was 50gb max. If it was just some few GBs over 100 then it would just need a day one download to play like some Switch games.

 

[Elios83]

Simply incredible

 

[Just_one]

Lame way to end the show.

Fuck off, what did u want? Elden ring or cyberpunk? I actually want great games instead

 

[Varteras]

 

[Sephimoth]

Can we figure out how far the game is taking us? I see Junon, the Jenova fight (ship I guess), Cosmo Canyon. It'll probably end at Temple of the Ancients?

 

[LordCBH]

IM READY!

How are pre-rendered cutscenes a “cop-out”? They have their own internal CG studio. They should use it.

 

[twinspectre]

I enjoyed FFVII Rebirth trailer.

 

[mpgeist]

Looks pretty cool to me. I just hope they aren't screwing up the story royally.

 

[Fredrik]

I can’t even collect my thoughts right now, can’t believe how good that looked, time to continue through Remake to be ready for this!

 

[Lady Bird]

And there was nothing really shown past the cargo ship except for the reunion stuff

There's Cosmo Canyon's Bugenhagen scene.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

The vegetation also doesnt move or reacts. Looked pretty rough

I noticed that too but if that prevents you from enjoying the game....I don't know what to say....quit gaming?

Jokes aside, it did look weird but it's a minor issue.

 

[YukiOnna]

Looking forward to all the new story additions. I'll probably replay Intergrade once a release date is locked.

Instead of taking the time to render them in real time on the hardware. It drastically cuts down on the file size.
