Lol I been watching all the one minute clips hoping it clicks for me

how this better than the game cover

the scale of these fights gonna be unprecedented first next gen system-melter

I hope Jun Akiyama (event planner/director for Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, XII, XIV 1.0 and more) is credited on this. World of Final Fantasy was the last game he worked on and was released in 2016, which is around the time XVI entered pre-production following the release of Heavensward.

Well that’s neat

Previews drop tomorrow don’t they?

Previews are now beginning to drop!

Preview Videos!

I DONT KNOW IF THESE ARE SPOILER FREE!

A demo is coming. I imagine after Sony event this week?

“It’s clear that this is the most confident and complete main-line Final Fantasy game at launch since the PS2 era; it’ll match up to the excellent launch state of Final Fantasy 7 Remake.”

There is A LOT of new footage in these videos!

Yeah this shouldn't take up any time in the showcase other than them saying the demo is available immediately

Square might really hit a homerun with this one

Nothing but positivity everywhere

How am I supposed to balance this and tears

It’s true that the Square Enix team is so anxious to make a splash that the game takes a little while to settle into a comfortable rhythm. The opening is a context-free flash-forward to an aerial battle between two of the game’s godlike summons, Eikons, with the player controlling a flame-spitting phoenix in a Star Fox-style rail shooter. It’s spectacular, if puzzling: Within a couple hours, you’ll be playing this sequence again, only with a better idea of what’s going on and what you’re supposed to do.

Polygon

Nier: Automata appears to be an unsung influence on XVI from its approach to difficulty and RPG elements to the varied implementation of its eikon battles.

There was a Square Enix livestream from a while back where Yoko Taro was trolling Yoshida about wanting to write a sidequest for XVI. It would be cool if something actually came from that (🙏🏽).

This is gonna be great palate cleanser following up TotK.

God I want the demo this week so bad now

Previews all over the place

Showcase

Yeah 100%
