FFXVI is shaping up to be the god of war game I always wanted lol

Let's be honest. A wet fart is better than Ragnarok.
FFXVI is looking to be the best Final Fantasy game in generations and easily could take DMC5's crown for depth in combat and GoW's crown for bombastic set pieces. Now if only Santa Monica could remove their heads from their arse and realize they are being outdone.

It's a Mature numbered Final Fantasy game. For me, it has no need to be the next GoW. Just being a game that takes us --the adults who grew up playing FF since childhood and have been expecting something like this-- into account it's enough for me.
Also, the demo was very, very good.

Nah, sorry. Ragnarok was a bad sequel to an amazing rebootquel. I adore 2018. It had wonderful pacing, emotional moments told through animation and not just forced exposition, and actual building of stakes with its gameplay and systems perfectly accentuating the narrative.
Ragnarok was a rushed out title that retconned large portions of its narrative to tie in a story that should have been 3 games into 2. Forcing characters to act out of character and gameplay that fails to evolve with its narrative, if anything it actively worked against it creating Ludo narrative dissonance - something the first game didn't have.

Say whaaaaaaaaaaat?
Quoting my post I just made in the demo thread. Now I’m a little more hype. I need a change of pace from the current western gaming palate.

Call me crazy but wouldn't you rather it be the FF game you always wanted?

I 100% agree with this. I'm also not even a huge FF fan but this is fantastic.
Remember when everyone loved GoT? The story is already that well done. The combat is addictive.
This might be my GotY.

Even though the intro was mostly a cutscene, it was still far more epic than everything in the last two GOW games combined.
It gave me that feeling I got back in 2010 when I played GOW 3. that insane epic setpiece that the entire mother fucking industry just straight up forgot about as they went on to make INTIMATE dad games and forgot what makes video games FUN.
I dont know if the rest of the game will be like that or if they will be playable, but my goodness I felt like a kid again, jaw on the floor wondering how that was realtime.

Yeah... I don't want to admit it but I was wrong on this one. It's not another middling Final Fantasy game, this is probably the best Final Fantasy since at least IX. This one will get brought up in Game of the Year discussions and might even win some.

Ragnarok is shit, FF XVI seems amazing.
Opinions that are common consensus on this forum that I'm very happy about. For once GAF isn't letting me down.

If any Japanese games have any nudity and sex then western media will lose their fucking minds, but with western games that’s okay because double standard.
Heck I remember when Catherine first got released people called it “porn game” even tho the game had zero nudity or sex.

The scale will definitely be there. Some footage we've seen from the Titan fight is definitely taking inspiration from the first Bayonetta game too.

Yeah... I myself for years, since FFX ,have been wanting a new and good classic final fantasy, I just didnt know that in my dreams this FF was in fact a DMC/GoW clone

They already said it won't be six months. More than likely will drop when they add DLC sort of like they did with FF7R and XV. It's always a year or more later on PC. I'll be double dipping whenever it does.

Well I'm tired and have to lie down.
Only played about an hour but so far it seems great.

Probably 2 years if it does get ported. Since Epic will probably make the wait even longer.
Probably the same case with Rebirth. Although I think Rebirth probably has to happen since Remake is available on PC and they wouldn't want to alienate that userbase.

I'm biased because I like final fantasy, but that cutscene was the coolest cutscene I think I've ever seen.

Yeah, thats really a remarkable achievement if you ask me. Remember that scene when clive and the others walk through the mountain in the beginning of the demo and the camera moves seemless onto the battlefield where dozens of soldiers are fighting? I don't think I've seen something like this before. I'm also not sure if it was realtime or cgi but if it was cgi, the transistion between realtime and cgi was perfectly handeled.

Glad to see you agree with me on this
It’s strange. FF16 doesn’t necessarily have insane levels of detail on a microscopic level or the absolute best character models, but the overall presentation comes together and really looks like those epic CG scenes in the earlier games that I always wanted to see in real-time and now they are.
It does have good detail though. Crisp textures. Fantastic lighting and no jaggies in sight. The particle effects are superb.
It’s really impressing me with how epic everything is to play and watch in a way many games have stopped focusing on
Sony needs to buy CBU3 lol

The game is looking better than Ragnarok for sure, everything is so epic reminds of old God of War games.

Way better. Are we even sure it was not pre-rendered
the amount of people fighting and the scale

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yeah its was! Ragnarok section was underwhelming after all that build up.
It felt like Titan fights in AoT and love the fact the debris from the fight was killing foot soldiers left and right.

We don’t know what engine it is. It’s not luminous and doesn’t look like unreal. Might be something new. So I wonder how it will do on pc

My therapist said I’ve made some really good progress. Baths help.
Im actually about to fire up the demo in a few minutes and can’t fookin wait to feel my God Of War excitement again. Im glad to see more people coming to terms of what this game truly is (And how amazing it will be). Im thinking of bumping my original thread to feel something again.

As much as I love God of War Ragnarok (which I believe is a 10/10 game), I agree.
I'd have loved even more interactivity during that scene, but still ... what the fuck!!

My God I'm soo busy I don't have time to play this demo but this sounds kinda great

Nah, I don't want god of war to be an interactive movie thx. Ffxvi is not for me at all.
The only thing god of war needs now is scale.
Makes me doubt this industry massively.

That’s a pretty hot take on a FF prologue in all honesty.
