@Ultrasmiles Please don't mention Kingdom Hearts in an FF16 article. Its bad juju. Haha. Let's keep those two things as far away from each other as possible! Lol
I never expected turn based combat to make a return (I wish) but the apparent absence of even so much as party members concerns me a bit. If you do only play as lone Clive the whole game, I feel like a lot of the FF heart and soul will be missing.
I'll be a day 1 buyer assuming its backwards compatible. Hoping the price is reasonable and stock is available.
I'm extremely curious about the details. We all expect it to be very expensive but will the fact that its still tethered to the PS5 help boost performance without jacking up the price? How much will the vastly improved resolution and frame rate help with motion sickness?
LOVED PSVR but I'm super over it and just want the PSVR2 now. I wanna play Moss 2 (and others) so badly but I can't bring myself to use those blasted ancient Move controllers anymore. The tech of the headset is just so outdated now.
YES. I've been waiting for this one forever and was just showing my wife the old trailer a few days ago. Hoping the PS5 version is a true PS5 game with full duelsense integration, 60 fps, etc and not just an upscaled "last gen" game.
@BigBoom3ai3 You're not alone. The things they did right they really did right but the things they got wrong were VERRRY wrong and basically ruined the game imo (the last few chapters were mind-numbingly stupid). I played through it when it came out and had very mixed feelings. Just this week I've decided I'm finally ready to go through again and its been a bit better since my expectations are in check. I'm finding I just wanna battle and grind and there are like...no enemies anywhere. Haha. Its very hallway simulator.
While I'm sure this looks good to some, this new format is about as far from something I'd personally want as you could possibly get. I likely wouldn't even sign up for any if it even if it was free. In the end, I'm praying they just release a bunch of PS1 classics from game prison for individual purchase.
There is hope! I for sure won't be subscribing to anything but will definitely buy a few PS1 games if I can individually like Megaman Legends, Legend of Dragon, Vagrant Story, etc.
@Deoxyr1bose Dude right? Everyone seems to be in love with the Octopath look but from the start I thought it looked hideous. I liked what they were generally going for but the end result always looked muddy and washed out and just plain ugly. This style is FAR superior. Just one guys thoughts.
@Niktaw I remember being so hyped for X and really liking it when it first came out but I actually can't stand that game now. Honestly, I really like the story and it has some good moments but ultimately, the protagonist is what makes or breaks a game for me and I think Tidus is one of the worst, most unlikable protags of RPG history. (I did really enjoy XII too.)
@Shepherd_Tallon For sure. IX has always been my favorite of all time. Its a fantastic game but the time in my life when I experienced it gave it a nostalgic power thats off the charts. Haha
One of the main reasons I invested in a PS5. FF was what got me into gaming with FF2 on the Super Nintendo. I've disliked them all after 9 (12 was ok though) so I'm praying this one delivers. Can't wait for a new look and release date!
@Serge_G Totally see where you're coming from but in my case, I actually won't touch Elden with a 10 foot pole. I despise games whose point is just to be insanely difficult. Always hated all the Souls games for that reason. I dont find inherently 'hard' games enjoyable at all. On the other hand, I'm LOVING Horizon. While its doing nothing new with open world mechanics, the story is fantastic which will trump all other aspects for me almost everytime. Its why I liked Zero Dawn way more than Breath of the Wild (and I'm a Nintendo fanboy). Story is everything.
Because this half effort will sell poorly, SE will assume that Chrono games don't sell well and will shelf Chrono Trigger yet again for another decade.
As a Playstation casual, I'm super pissed that I'll need to pay a ludicrous amount of money for the top tier just to get PS1 and 2 games. I will literally never play online or touch any of the 400+ free games. I expected no less but still upset. Praying now there is some kind of family plan like NSO has so I can split the cost...

I'm kinda surprised at the general reaction to this game. I thought it looked like absolute trash. Haha. Guess its all in the eye if the beholder.

Re: State of Play Showcase for Thursday Confirmed, PSVR2 Games Included
HYYYYYPE! Not getting my hopes up for FF16 since it may be in the SquareEnix FF broadcasts, but can't wait to see more PSVR2 stuff!
Re: PSVR2 Will Have Over 20 Major Launch Titles
@WaveBoy Couldn't have said it better myself. I was blown away by it 5 years ago but it's time to move on.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?

In the end, I'm praying they just release a bunch of PS1 classics from game prison for individual purchase.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Tiers Will Be Refreshed Monthly with New Games
As someone who only cares about the classic games and literally no other feature on any tier, this has so far been quite a hard pill to swallow. Lol
Re: You May Already Own Some of the Retro PS Plus Titles
There is hope! I for sure won't be subscribing to anything but will definitely buy a few PS1 games if I can individually like Megaman Legends, Legend of Dragon, Vagrant Story, etc.

Re: Talking Point: Does Sony Need a Big Summer Showcase?
I just NEED more news on FF16 and PSVR2. Not to mention the legacy games coming to the new program.
Re: Sony Is Predicting Improved PS5 Stock Availability
@naruball This. Hoping FF16 will be one of those games as it is confirmed to be a PS5 exclusive (+PC).

@Niktaw I remember being so hyped for X and really liking it when it first came out but I actually can't stand that game now.

@Shepherd_Tallon For sure. IX has always been my favorite of all time. Its a fantastic game but the time in my life when I experienced it gave it a nostalgic power thats off the charts. Haha
Re: Rejoice! Final Fantasy 16 in 'Final Stretch' of Development, Says Producer
@Shepherd_Tallon Me too! Most promising looking one since 9! Even though it was clearly an early build, trailer 1 was awesome!

Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Gran Turismo 7 Laps Elden Ring in Europe as Horizon Falls Off a Cliff
I have zero interest in any of the games mentioned except Horizon. Currently at 60 hours and absolutely loving it.

Finally upgraded to PS5 yesterday from an OG PS4. Ready to keep playing it in its full glory! 60fps is incredible!
Re: PS Plus Premium's Classic Games Look 'Great' on PS5, PS4, But Sony's Saying Nothing About the Selection
My decision entirely rests on what kind of lineup the classics have.
Re: Poll: Will You Subscribe to Sony's New PS Plus Tiers?
