Sorry, Faust
Actually, it was mine

Agreed. My perception is that anytime the camera is moving you're going to have a cleaner image quality in Performance, despite Graphics having higher res. I don't know if it's simply a product of the frame rate, meaning the motion blur strength is the same in both modes, but personally the motion blur is overpowering in Graphics Mode. This goes in line with what you're mentioning about the effects quality having I guess what you might say is superior temporal clarity at higher frame rate.
A video to show what I mean...
Stills from the comparison...

I definitely enjoyed that demo but do you think there will be much character building or RPG choices (not story but gameplay wise)?

From trailers, absolutely. You can use 3 eikonic abilities and in trailers, we see 6 eikons alone (who knows if there is more past that). You can equip 2 abilities for each of the 3 total eikon slots. So 6 abilities. You can also level/master said abilities that allow you to use them on other equipped eikons. So you could use Ifrit with Titan abilities if you wanted.
That is just from trailers and the demo.

If you looks at Dragon Quest XI Skill three the MC can equip multiple weapons class and you unlock abilities for each weapon class.
Final Fantasy XVI works same way, Eikons are treated as weapons which can unlock new abilities for each of them.

That was a really good movie, looking forward to playing it

The Eikon for Titan abilities isn't exactly that? he has defensive moves like block and perry, while close gab with phoenix and grab smaller enemies with Garuda.

Thats probably cuz FFXVI was performed in English first by theatre actors (Japanese players get dubbed performances this time). The story was written first in Japanese of course but the actual script is penned for English performance & sensibilities.

That could very well be. I noticed Titan’s block for sure. I might need to check out the full kits for Titan and Garuda again to see what other goodies they have.
Yeah, european superpowers being led by relatives was a thing for a reason.

Most games with motion blur adjust shutter speed based of framerate.
When I had 240hz monitor, doom 2016 was a great motion blur test.
60fps with motion blur looked exactly the same as 240hz without motion blur (feel aside obviously).
The slower fps, the bigger gaps there are to be "filled" by the blur. Each frame at 30fps, should contain 33ms of movement.
Maybe even a bit more to avoud judder on oled.
Non oled users might 100% be better off with a lighter motion blur at 30fps that is presented here.
but as selfish oled user, I think they made the right choice for it at 30fps minus the blur around character edges. This is clearly an unwanted artefact

They are transformations. It seems like the ability to do that runs in bloodlines, so those bloodlines have basically become the royalty

I just have no idea how can the game make a better impression on me than the demo. I can't imagine anything better now lol.
So I don't know if it's good that I played the demo or bad.... because that demo is too good lol

I might just keep playing the demo over and over in order to save money.

Some details about the New Game+ and the Final Fantasy difficulty.
There are a few minor spoilers related to some new enemies and a new mid-game area
Edit: an interesting quote from the accompanying article
Second edit: apparently the reviews embargo lifts on June 21st.

You can easily kill them faster with understanding teh combat system. Also every boss in FF7R lasted longer than any of the bosses in FFXVI.

Just preordered the game, I feel confident enough it will be a great game to do so. It's the second time ever I preorder a game without waiting for reviews.
The only other time I did was with Returnal and that was my personal GOTY and so far the best exclusive game released since PS5s launch IMO.
I'm pretty certain this game will become a strong contender for that top spot if it stays as consistently strong throughout the whole game.
Edit: Oh alright, it apparently has NG+ as well. Glorious.

Well crap, I know it's a late response. Sat down to get some that HDR goodness in the demo and I don't see hgig or dynamic tone mapping on the LG B6 model (it's probably a little to old for that). Might be time to retire it and get a newer set.

Crazy how for 35+ years, Final Fantasy has always restraint from full on swearing and this time in just a second a whole string of "F*ck" was spew out.
This game gonna be glorious.

To me this was another case of people quickly jumping to conclusions and go full on hate boner without any logic and reason.This game is really winning everyone wow just wow. A close friend of mine which dislikes FF since the release of X tried it and preordered it the moment it ended lol. The way he talks about it. Hyped as shit
And people never learn because same shit is happening with Armoured Core VI and crying over noting.

Not relevant to FFXVI, but Manchester United might peak your interest as they're about to be bough by Sheikh Jassim who too was fond of his cousin and now has 8 kids with her.Final Fantasy 16 is heavy on incest, with Game of Thrones comparisons rife

This will end up being the most deep combat system in the series by a long margin. Those turn based fanatics are going to suck it hard

Been reading the theory that Torgal is actually the eikon/summon Carbuncle. Little diamond shape on the forehead might be the most glaring clue. Plus they keep showing his face up close and do a little foreshadowing with the whole "he's going to be a good hound one day" Could be interesting. Also how could you not like that little guy?!

I didn't tried that mode, what is wrong with the dog?
I don't even remotely know why this is such a big deal or why a GoT comparison is necessary.Final Fantasy 16 is heavy on incest, with Game of Thrones comparisons rife

Yes, cousins fucked all the time, especially among nobility where close circles are kept. It's sill a thing too in certain countries.
This isn't special. This doesn't even come close to brother and sister like in GoT.
(Maybe there's some brotherly incest stuff going on later in the game, but that particular example is stupid to make a big deal off)
