It feels like the game is designed for kids with ADD. The screen is so cluttered with visual effects that I get the sense the devs thought people would get bored if nothing happens for a single second.

Sorry, I know a lot of you are excited but this is just FF in name. Looks like a great action game but it's not what I play FF for.

Pretty disappointed in this. Faces seem stiff, textures seem meh. Combat looks alright but kinda dated.

 

[Entropi]

I made my mind to get this game after watching the trailers released before. I can’t say this makes want the game more. Still, day 1 for me.

 

[ethomaz]

It is amazing.
Man what a good State of Play.
The game is just day one.

Perfection.

 

[Sircaw]

The game looks incredible but all those damn effects and flashes

It's a hard pass for me, why fill the game with al that fucking clutter.

My poor eyes

I'm personally very excited for this game! I'm mainly watching bits and pieces and reading just a few details to keep from spoiling too much though.

 

[Bryank75]

The combat looks so damned good, I just want to play it all day and see what crazy shit I can do...

It looks even better than I expected.

They could calm down the screen shaking and effects a little but it's a minor thing for me.

This is the FF thread your post was meant for the redfall thread.

Damn I will need a PS5 sooner rather than later. The kaijuu battles look really cool; I could see some shmup style elements in a couple of them. The combat in general looks great, although I'm still curious about the strategic elements as even here it emphasized the action a lot. I do remember them saying in another preview you could select and switch among your spells with a specific button, and enter various modes depending on if conditions were met, that type of stuff. But I am interested in learning a bit more about that part of the combat.

The world looks interesting too; it's a nice mix of more mature elements with traditional FF high-fantasy elements but it doesn't look like there's much anything to create a clash. This is definitely a game I'm going to end up picking up.

Just don't bother with anything. Once I decide to get the game, I stay away from the smallest bits of info. Makes for a nice surprise when you get to actually play the game.

Good news is, you won't have to wait that long.

 

[Vertigo]

The kaiju stuff was dope. I didn’t know what to think about it at first but it seems it’s just there to add gameplay variety. It all looked bombastic and to be a be a fun time.

It definitely looks epic that’s for sure

Absolutely, I just hope they have some exploration or good side content that isn't completely combat based.... again, to add to the variety.

Even if it's just that some of the buildings and castles are just massive and you can explore them as an option.

@Bryank75, we should sue, they using Icon in their game, god damn thieves.

 

[peter42O]

Very happy that there's a story mode difficulty in the game. Like others have said, I do wish all the effects and stuff on screen was toned down or at least allow an option to decrease it. Otherwise, looks really good.

i really hope we can turn half that shit off, the game looks incredible but yer, those effects are out of control.

 

[Gediminas]

yeah, some effects are over a top a little bit.

but i don't think, we gonna do much of what they showed on basic combat encounters. it looks like most of it are pretty special moves.

 

[Yurinka]

Looks great, it's going to be a huge success.
