@Mikey856 That's why I played in graphics mode from the very beginning. Usually I prefer performance mode but after I've heard that the framerate is constantly somewhere between 35-60fps I just decided to stick with an (almost) locked 30fps
@KaijuKaiser "with these scores"
It's sitting at an 88 on Metacritic based on 47 reviews though
PushSquare is the only site that gave the game a "mixed" review, every other review gave it a "positive" score
edit: Seems like I'm not the first one who told you that, should have read the other comments first
I've been watching a thread on Twitter that included ever game shown and I'm really glad I didn't waste my time watching this. I mean there were a few things that interested my but for a 2h show they definitely didn't show much
One thing those developers don't seem to understand is that people won't keep playing a game (or even start to play that game to begin with) if there is not much to it at launch.
You just can't expect people to keep playing something when there is barely anything to play
Won't watch it because last years ONL was the worst gaming show I've ever seen but I do hope there's news on FF7 Rebirth, Persona 3 Reload and/or Sonic Superstars
If you want to leak something at least do it properly
What's the point of showing only a part of the supposed PS5 Slim where we can barely see a difference to the original?
Wondering how much this is going to cost considering for example a Steam Deck cost 400$, can natively play games including PS games like GoW, HZD etc and also can be used for remote play via Chiaki
Just finished it, there are some smaller complains but that doesn't take aware from the fact that this is an amazing game. Easily a 9/10
Also I once again want to mention that imo the side quests (especially the ones later into the game) are really good and shouldn't be missed out just because some of the earlier ones aren't that special
I'm playing in graphics mode since I dislike inconsistent framerates and I'm right before the final boss and hadn't any problems (yet), and that despite the fact that it has been pretty hot here the last few days
"and even the first reviews were positive" Yeah, because they only handled out review copies for the PC version instead of the absolutely broken console versions
@kyleforrester87 Yes, with Super Mario Odyssey. Luckily not a game where I care about the story but it spoiled that Mario takes over Bowser (since it showed Bowser with a moustache)
I guess it depends if you recently watched related videos to that topic or not. I often listen to Mario soundtracks so maybe that's why it got recommended.
@Sil_Am The problem is when e.g. Youtube randomly decides "Hey, you like Final Fantasy? How about we recommend you a video that shows the final boss on the thumbnail to you"
They are doing the inverse Mario Kart. Mario Kart had non-numbered entries for the first 6 games (not counting MK64 since that one isn't actually the 64th MK lol) but then added numbers for the 7th and 8th entry. Yakuza/Like a Dragon does the opposite
Dumb question but why do your preview thumbnails for your FF16 articles quite often feature that woman from the Luminous Engine tech demo from years ago?
@belmont You think FF7Rs performance on SD is hit or miss? Imo it runs amazingly on SD. I locked the framerate to 30fps and set the textures and shadows to low (so basically PS4 level settings) and it runs at constant 30fps at 720p while the battery last 2.5-3h
When looking at the menu at 0:35 that game has a calendar and something called "follower" which could be similar to social links. That game is persona without actually being persona lol
I hope it turns out great but since it's made by the team that made P3, P4 and P5 I have no doubt

Re: Persona 3 Reload Release Date Is 2nd February, Pray Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Isn't Around There Too
That trailer looks amazing, can't wait
Just a shame that Granblue Fantasy: Relink has to wait

Re: Granblue Fantasy: Relink Release Date Finally Set for February 2024 on PS5, PS4
Can't believe this game actually got a release date
But why is every JRPG (FF7R2, P3R, LAD8 and this) releasing early 2024?
Re: Open World RPG Crimson Desert Looks Borderline Unbelievable in Gameplay Blowout
I always have wondered what a combination of Tears of the Kingdom, The Witcher 3 and Assassin's Creed would look like

Re: Like a Dragon Gaiden Looks Awesome, Includes Trial Version of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
@JbumiSandra FYI that was a joke ^^
Re: Like a Dragon Gaiden Looks Awesome, Includes Trial Version of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
@LordAinsley I too want Infinite Wealth. Oh and Like A Dragon 8 looks pretty cool as well

Inb4 it sells incredible well. The bigger the outrage the bigger the sale numbers

That's more like it, that's the Square Enix I know
Re: Poll: Will You Be Muting Your PS5's Beep?
No since it doesn't bother me
I wish i could turn off the orange flashing light when the PS5 is in sleep mode though
Re: Fans Vote Clive the Second Best Final Fantasy Protagonist
I really like Clive but I wonder how much of that is because of recency bias
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 File Size Is Bloody Massive
@djape Yeah but if someone has slow internet it can take ages to download that, installing it from a disc is way faster
For example the other day I downloaded RDR2 on PC which is 117GB and it took me about 11h to download it
Re: PS Plus Premium Adds Four-Hour Trial for One of the Best RPGs Ever Made
@Skeletor85 Sure, buddy
Re: Poll: Who's the Best Final Fantasy Protagonist?
0% for Vaan, as it should be. Such a forgettable protagonist
Re: Feast on Some Footage from PS5, PS4's Long Anticipated Lost Soul Aside
@Cordyceps Speaking of Final Fantasy: Lost Soul Aside got announced before FF15 released which is pretty insane
Re: New Red Dead Redemption Logo Fuels More Remake Rumours
Would be really cool since I never played the original.
Hope they do a better job than with the GTA Trilogy though

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Release Date Reportedly Slated for November 2024
Maybe Final Fantasy 16 can actually run at a constant 60fps on that thing

Give us Leviathan!

On Youtube the video is even categorized as "The Last Of Us (2013)" lol

Final Fantasy 16
It's the only game I've really played on PS5 this year so far

Re: PS5 Exclusive Final Fantasy 16 Hits a Slightly Skewed 3 Million Sales at Launch
@EquiinoxGII Idk, I like the side quests in this game. Some of them even tell pretty interesting stories I wouldn't want to miss
Re: CD Projekt Exec Suggests Cyberpunk 2077 Launch Not That Bad, Actually, Dunking 'Became a Cool Thing'

Yeah, because they only handled out review copies for the PC version instead of the absolutely broken console versions
Re: Alan Wake 2's Digital-Only Release Allows for a More Polished Game, Says Remedy
A few more weeks won't turn a game from "unplayable" to "playable"
So either it would be playable (enough) for a physically release or it will be a buggy mess when it releases
Re: First Final Fantasy 16 Review Awards a Near-Perfect Score
@FatalBubbles I question their scoring system if 13-2 got a 40/40…
I mean it's not a bad game but a 40/40? Hell no

Re: SEGA Word Salad Attempts to Explain Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's Name
Also Infinite Wealth sounds like a cheat code from the Sims or something

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Demo?
Won't play it since I plan to buy the game anyway. If I start it now I'd have to wait 10 days til I can continue

Barely a difference, how lazy
(someone had to make that joke)
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Gets PS5 Gameplay as Early 2024 Release Window Is Confirmed
Looks great (and confusing)
Also that game is going to take up a good chunk of my storage space when it comes with two discs lol
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2023 a Sizzler or a Wash Out?
Sonic, Spider-Man 2 release date and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth were nice, the rest was not for me
