@ChrisDeku That's a wack analogy.

1. It's like comparing ripping or "pirating" music online, to that of stealing a CD in a shop. Similar yet two different things all together.

2. "Pirating" is how we archive some older games.

So yeah, it's 100% a pro.

Am I the only one who thinks FF7 remake character model( especially the facial expressions) and visuals look better than FF16?
Or maybe it's just the character design that I think looks better in FF7 remake?

@Northern_munkey Not quite true.

PC master race have the option to pirate Playstation single player games ( this price increase might lead more PC gamers to do so,lol), so no, they still have the advantage.

@theMEGAniggle I rather have code, Sumire or Eida, than that fanfic Damon.

Here are my two cents

Pro:
1.I love the music,environment and overall atmosphere of the game, it is definitely true ti final fantasy in that regard
2. The story seems to be much more interesting this time around. And the dev seems to be interested in giving us a well thought out story, instead of what we got in FF13 and FF15.

I am also a fan of the age progression thing they will do, but I would be lying if I didn't think that they should have kept it as a suprise for us when we play the game.

Cons:
1. The character design is still to subdued for a final fantasy game,imo. People who hate anime might like that, but it makes the characters lose their final fantasy charm, and when it comes to Clive, look boring AF imo.

Noxtus crew looks cooler than Clives crew.

2. The character models look somehow less impressive than Final fantasy 7 remake. Check Clive and Jill's reunion, their facial expressions doesn't match their emotions.

3. Not being able to control other party member. If FF15 could allow us to do this(albeit later via an update), then I see no reason why we can't do it in FF16.

Maybe they fear having gameplay systems for party members would be detriment to the story, since we will be playing Clive at his various ages?

What I am unsure of:

1. Hack and slash DMC combat. I don't dislike that combat, but for an rpg I do prefer turn based, because hack and slash does get tiring when playing 100+ hours rpg. So we will see how enjoyable the DMC gameplay is.

2. The enemies do look spongy, which isn't good, but the boss battle looks cool and epic.

3. I do like that it isn't full on open world, but does anybody else feel that it looks kinda dry at times?

Anyway, all I know is that this game is going to be a success.
From its marketing, to it being hailed the final fantasy game that everyone has been excited for since slice bread, to it revamping its gamplay to match that of a popular franchise like DMC , to people praising it looking more western and less anime(the anime hate is still real,lol), and finally it being a Final Fantasy game in general,will help it break alot of sale records.

Will the story be great?Will Clive become an iconic MC despite his subdued look? Will the DMC gameplay satisfy even the most loyal turn based fan? Will it be the game to finally meet expectations for SQ sales fantasy?
Well ,we will find out in June.

@KundaliniRising333 Careful with that edge kid, you might cut yourself.

@Bigtuna515 I heard he was good in Mario, so I don't get the hate with him.

@McBurn A man of Culture I see.

But seriously, Trails gameplay is great.

It's has great depth, but it isn't to complicated that you would get lost. It's fun, and it takes far longer for me to get burned out from a single gaming session with Trails, then I do when compared to other turn-based jrpg's.

I also think the story is much more interesting than most persona games, given that each Trails game is like part of an arch, that all comes together for an overarching plot.

The only thing that Persona has over Trails, especially Persona 5,is better visuals and overall polish of the game, imo.

@anoyonmus This would be my dream.

Although I would prefer Arcsys to use 2D sprites like in Persona 4 UA, instead of their current 2.5 D visuals, because I think it would cost less time, thus allowing for quicker release of characters.

@Nepp67 I to prefer that.

Even so, there are disadvantage of an Arcsys Bleach fighter.

1. Since it's an Arcys game, you have like a max of 15 to 20 characters at launch ,which isn't big enough for Bleach imo.

There will be alot of fan favorite characters left out of the game, even when all the dlcs are done.

This very worrisome for Bleach, because of its large cast of characters.

2. Modern day Arcsys are on a mission to simplify their fighting games, which includes giving characters fewer special moves as possible( 3-4 special moves), thus alot of the characters moves from the anime/manga won't be able to transfer to the fighting game faithfully.

The only way to lessing the problem of this, is to make the Bleach fighter a Tag fighter like dragonball fighter Z.

3. The single player content won't be good.
I have zero faith in Arcsys to create a story mode, with faithfully written storyline for Bleach, which also has a balance of gameplay.

I also have no faith in them going the extra mile to include other fun single player modes beyond, Arcade and a time trial.

CC2 fixes many of this issues by making games with alot of the characters avaliable, and incorporating them with a movelist that is very faithfully to the source material, without caring about balance or bloat.

They also create a more fun and interactive single player mode than Arcsys does.

The obvious disadvantage of a CC2 game, is that the visuals won't look as good as Arcsys, and that it will most likely play as an arena fighter, which although fun to play with friends, isn't well balanced or competitively viable.

@GymratAmarillo Uhm no, it's just a picture. It's all Geometry and colors. Things that A.I is very good at reproducing.

People love persona for its aesthetics, not its art. A.I will reproduce that anime persona aesthetics flawlessly, and people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

@KundaliniRising333 Well I guess so.

A Final fantasy game doesn't need to be medieval to be good though. My favorite Final Fantasy game is 7 and 10, and they weren't medieval.

@KundaliniRising333 Uhm, when has final fantasy never been about fantasy?

@Ken_Kaniff Eh,if you are into a fighting game, then you can definitly play it for that long.

People still play games like Guilty Gear ac+r, Blazblue Central Fiction,Skull girls, Marvel vs Capcom 2 and 3, Street fighter 3rd strike and 4, and the various KOF games to this day.

For me, you can still catch me playing Guilty Gear ac+r and Blazblue Central Fiction even in 10 years time.

@nomither6 Anime is a varied medium in terms of both style and substances, so stop generalizing it as bad.

Hope Blazblue Central Fiction makes it in.

@AgentMantis I agree. The Jessie change was the only change I appreciated, the rest seem unnecessary.

Waiting for the resident anime haters to come hating.

@nomither6 You're the only one that thinks this. Central Fiction is literally just a better Chronophatsma extend.

With more characters,more gamplay mechanics added, better battle UI,better character select screen,and a better balanced game.

The only thing that CPEX has over CF is an English dub, and that additional single player content that didn't carry over to CF.

Also your point about CF not playing like other Blazblue games before is a lie. This makes me wonder if you have actually played Blazblue before.

@z0d15g0d No thank you, if it plays anything like Strive.

Rather they re-release Blazblue Central Fiction with an English dub, crossplay and added single player mode from ChronoPhantsma extend, than a BlazBlue Strive.

@Sgt_Peppa There is nothing uncomfortable, and you are one of those people who like to cry about anime being problematic.

If you don't like those things in anime or jrpg then don't watch those anime or play those jrpg,nobody going to stop you. The problem I have with people like you, is that they try to make anime and jrpg fans feel guilty for just enjoying what they like.You lot online always have to patronize people over a cartoon. Hence self-righteous haters.

But anyway, the guy I replied to is known to hate jrpg even when it doesn't have any loli things( which I assume both you guys are crying about, and trying to generalizes anime as).

@KundaliniRising333 So you are basically one of those elitist self-righteous anime haters, got it.

There is no point conversing with people like you, let's just agree to disagree then.

@KundaliniRising333 Well some of us play video games for the gameplay, and not just to play a movie.

Anyway you hating on Jrpg's is cringe, tbh.

Not surprised that the GOAT Messi completed football.

What a shame, I enjoy leaks.

Leaks helped me choose when to skip a game event, and when not to. They also help me see through some devs bs, and how they string us along with their will they or will they not attitude announcements ( cough *Atlus*cough), and using that as boost for their events views,pr and marketing.

Leaker, I don't know who you are, but if you are reading this, at least know one person here appreciates your work, and you will be missed.

Leaking just like piracy, may it never end.

So does anymore know when the anime adaption is coming out?

@IndoorEnthusiast Uhm no dice, you have alot of video games with grown up women as MC.

Variety is the spice of life, so stop complaining, and roleplay as the cute teen anime girl.

That means we might be getting a new trailer and a closed beta date soon.

@stinkyx bridget and Testament used to be trap based characters in accent core, until they changed them in strive. Bedman was the trap based character in xrd, so lets hope his sister gets in, and plays similar to him.

More special moves for characters , fix the damn lobby system, put proper match making, and add that Man.

We don't need another storm game by CC2 , especaily not based on that filler abomination called boruto.

Please just give the IP to Arcsys, so that they can make a Naruto fighting game like dragonball fighter Z.

@OrtadragoonX Yeah, this is also my general opinion of FF13.

I honestly found the trilogy a waste of my time. If the jrpg story and character isn't interesting, then what is the point?

Lionel "the GOAT" Messi. I will be honored to represent you.

@Ultrasmiles Yeah, I find it funny that people are glossing over the fact that we are comparing a fairly popular game sales, from a small country to that of the whole west 🤣.

I know you guys want to push your narrative to defend why Sony moved their HQ from Japan to US, but not like this people, use common sense.

Wait, there is a new Call of duty? How did I not know this.
Anyway it's COD, so I am not that hyped for it.

@Mauzuri Cool story, but does anyone know of a sight that I can safely view spoilers.

I usually like to know a bit about the game and how the story feels before I buy it.

The one piece...The one piece is reall!

@belmont Dude ffs, stop spoiling the game.

@Judal27 Yeah, I can see the similarities with the Jinchuriki's from Naruto.

I wasn't intially vibing with the medieval fantasy setting, but after this trailer, I am all in.

Stop making such a big deal about it, lol.

From the tone of the article and the outcry in the comment section, you would think P3 and 4 was skipped for the playstation console.

Probably the most feature rich fighting game since a long time.

Now you'll don't have an excuse to not give the game a try.

This ladies and gentlemen, is why I love leaks.
It one ups this devs who likes stringing their customers along with fake hype, just so they can increase viewership on their other products.

Please put it on PC.

You can never go wrong with anime. I might have to check this out.

Good, I love leaks. It helps me set my expectations for what will be announced.

From a person who plays Paladins, this is childs play.

I will say it again, I like unlocking heroes since it forces me to spend time with the cast of character. It also keeps me motivated to play more matches.
