Is it today? I read the 31st since it only launched in early access.

Didn’t get to try it yet. Went live at midnight ET so that’s way passed my bed time. Will attempt on hardest diff. There’s 3 to choose.

Heard the campaign is anywhere from 12-20 hours only. Keep in mind they’re promising hundreds of hours in endgame…

Campaign is too short from what we’ve been hearing already. Reviewers will pump out bs reviews disguised as impressions the moment they finish the story. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a meta in the low 80s if not 70s.

quick impressions…

Tales fans should feel right at home. Especially coming off of Arise.

Soundtrack is already superb. That’s where the square vibes are and for good reason considering its got composers like Nobuo Uematsu doing it




Already expecting this to be blow FF16 out of the water. It’s okay to admit it. This is Ps exclusive also.

Character designs blow ff16 out of the water, but the narrative feels a little disjointed so far 5 hours in

I def do not expect anything from the narrative. I’m expecting tropey and predictable for jrpg and it sure does seem like that.

I finished the base game for Arise a month ago. Really enjoyed it. Rated it an 8.0/10 overall.

Question though, can you turn off the damage numbers and other HUD elements or no? Thanks.

FF XVI was very disappointing as an FF game so this isn't saying much nor would it take much for this to happen.

All those damage numbers do break immersion so it'll be good if you can turn off.

It’s only growing on me with each play session.

the rpg build crafting is there. The music is fantastic.

Also really appreciate the no bullshit approach to side missions and launching them straight from the town. It’s instant beaming into whatever the combat encounter is thanks the ps5 load times.

Dude lol the challenge bosses are harder on normal difficulty than on hard, on hard your teammates are smart and actually know how to block, in normal they keep getting themselves killed 🤣🤣🤣

I’m enjoying the game so far. All I can say is the boss at the end of chapter 6….was crazy

It gave me a shadow of Colossus vibe.
