I feel like this game kind of came out of nowhere. We got a few small announcements and then nothing major until close to the release date, unlike the insane marketing blitz that was FF15. Maybe I was just out of the loop.

Anyways I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about it? I love Final Fantasy games but this one seems so different. Tbf I haven't played the demo, I'm planning on trying it tonight, but I'm curious what everyone thinks about such a major release.

Aside from all the other praise people are giving it (which I completely agree with) I have to say, the ability to pause during cutscenes and access the database or whatever they call it to read about the characters involved in the cutscene is truly revolutionary.

Hadn't noticed that yet, that's awesome. Wouldn't be the first time I looked at a cutscene and didn't have a clue who some person on screen is

I'm so hyped for this game. Yoshi-P is the only one at Square-Enix who knows what he's doing. We're going back to some cheesy ass faux-Shakespeare localization (yeah I like Final Fantasy XII, don't @ me). We're getting a classic medieval fantasy story with magic crystals and killing god, but you also get to play a motherfucking kaiju battle sometimes. Inject it directly into my veins.

Nah dawg, FF12 is excellent. Don’t feel any shame about that.

The demo has me fully sold on the game. Really love the action combat they have in this one and think it feels way better than what they had in XV. I’m intrigued by the story so far and was pleasantly surprised that the demo gives you a good amount of story with both of the modes offered. All in all I think it’s one of the best demo’s I’ve played in a while and can’t wait to get my hands on the full release.

I'll be waiting to see what the consensus on the story is. Because I quit FF15 25 hours in after realizing I had no idea what was going on and no idea who anyone was, since the story was fragmented across multiple media.

I'm very excited for it! I like action more than turn based usually, so it's a welcome surprise for me :-) Personally, it was off my radar because I kept reading XVI as XIV (which I don't really care about)

Funny because it's the same guy who directed both games
