Final Fantasy 16 - It's Dragon's Dogma 2

[Coolio55]

I don't get why the Square Enix wants Final Fantasy to become Kingdom Hearts style action rather than the classic turn based combat.

Probably the same reason as paper mario. We already have a turn based RPG series at home (Dragon Quest)

Kinda sucks that this one moves away from the techno fantasy style that pretty much defined the series after seven because that's a niche setting but otherwise it might be interesting? (Like 10 seconds of gameplay(?) shown so who really knows)

Imo: Squeenix have been pretty consistently shitting the bed recently so I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[Berrakh]

it will be out in like 2024 or something. Calling it.
I do like having summons be a big, concretized, element of the setting. I remember 4, 5 and 6 doing that and it was neat.

The stream I was watching thought it looked so drab that we were all convinced it was a Kingdom Under Fire remake. I have no idea why Square dropped all of the assets they spent a decade making for 15 only to make something so utterly dull looking.

I assume it'll be good but fuck man Square really needs to pull their shit together and get good direction for their Final Fantasy projects. As it is it just feels like they're flailing around in the hopes they find something that can make up for the nearly billion dollar loss they took on XV's 13 year long development cycle.

The graphics will probably be blinged out before release. That said if you're not pleased with them now take that as a sign you should dial back expectations and avoid hype.

It's coming to PC as you can see it's all prerendered bullshit that's typical SQENIX who is still butthurt their FF movie cost them $100M and bombed in the box office. Yet again we see they are trying to make a movie with a video game as an add-on.

FFXV/DMC game play, fuck hated that game.

Confusing as fuck and convoluted story line with characters who have half their face covered? Yup.

Troy Fucking Baker playing Troy Fucking Baker voicing a Troy Fucking Baker character. Fuck this guy is in everything and has the acting range of Kevin Costner.

Real Red Blood? Well i'll be damned, something new.

Call me when it's 19.99 after all the digital add-on's, cat suits, music sound tracks, airship skins, and the rest of the DLC that they didn't have time to add onto the game in the 8+ years it'll take to make it.

This looks like a mixture of Devil May Cry and Dragon's Dogma instead of Final Fantasy.

The Director is Hiroshi Takai who was the director for DMC5 and the Producer is Naoki Yoshida the man behind FFXIV since the remake.

This just looks like a remix of FF15. Noctis with a dirty face, royal looking guys, summons a bit more important this time round. But I'll probably buy it because I'm a weeb for FF and have completed all of them after 7. Casual I know not playing pre PlayStation but w/e

 

[Pissmaster]

I'm glad they're finally making a new single-player Final Fantasy game for the first time in like 20 years where the word "faggy" can't describe anything in the trailer. I also noticed how the graphics, uh... aren't really that impressive, like, nothing there looked any higher quality than what Final Fantasy 13 had. It's a Playstation 5 game and everyone still has hair helmets

I guess I'll play it in like a decade when it comes out on PC and either gets cracked or hits $20 on a Steam sale.

 

[SnowBall]

Twitter is full of salty children bitching that the lead is a white dude. Not surprised.

Put me down for for 2023 assuming nothing unforseen happens like some earthquake, monster tsunami, or something, but if it comes that soon, I imagine the graphics and overall content will probably be lackluster. There's just something off with the way this one looks right now.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

It looks like a cross betweenWitcher and Game of Thrones.

People are noticing that a ton of shit looks like redressed assets. The world itself might be the Final Fantasy 15 map with some slight alterations and landmarks replaced with new ones. Just like how Far Cry primal had the same map as Farcry 4.

It's a different team than the people who are working on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Square has also been working throughout the pandemic so there's now a chance that this one won't see a billion delays.

 

[Mooger Meng]

Interesting take on the usual Prelude theme. Not something I expected to hear in a minor key.

Gameplay looked okay from the handfull of scenes it showed, but I've been on a Dragon's Dogma kick lately anyway. I'll save any interest for closer to release, after we see some real footage.

Reminds me a lot of Type-0.

I'm pretty sick of hearing about crystals though.

A reborn world based off of Final Fantasy XV?

I'm just wondering what the hell the story is about.

 

[Dr. Geronimo]

In the trailer there's a line about "pushing back the blight"

If this game has some disease or encroaching darkness be the enemy then fuck off. Stop being lazy fucks and actually make a well written antagonist.

Make Gul Dukat proud.

Looks really good, but the only things that are "Final Fantasy' are the creatures and the soy fuck boy designs of the characters.
Where are gaudy costumes and hairstyles FF is known for?

Breaking Bad was a pretty good series that was all about crystals

Those are too common IRL so they need to go with conservative traditional hairstyles and costumes to stand out now

 

[BeboRefugee]

Given its reveal for PS5's launch, and them alleging work started in 2016, I say we see this game in 2022 at the earliest, maybe 2023 even to not conflict with FF7 Part II.

Anyway the adult protagonist is absolutely gorgeous. Squeenix games lately have had fucked gameplay and messy plots, but I appreciate their commitment to painting pretty pictures while every other developer embraces ugly character designs or nightmarish fucked faces via motion capture

Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy hadn't played remotely the same since ATB was introduced in 4.

It is just (ARTISTIC) fart huffing of "we have to change things guys..it has to be INNOVATIVE" and gutted the series of it's core game play turning it from final fantasy to a series with all the awful parts of MMOs with none of the fun.
