@Gooseman42 Yeah, that's actually bigger than I expected. Assuming most of that is story content. Gonna be sad knowing the guy who calls you to start this DLC is no longer with us....

Calling it now: gonna be one of those super-hyped games that winds up a 6 or a 7 from PS.

Imagine the problems we could solve with $1b? Other than taking out some green pigs...

@doctommaso Which is every FPS multiplayer game ever. As a single player action adventure, I'd be interested. As a multiplayer where I have to deal with teenage basement dwellers, not so much.

100% saw the spirit of Bioshock in the video before reading the article.

@OrtadragoonX That's correct, and unfortunately one of the reasons I also haven't been excited about a FF game in a long time. I saw a Moogle in the trailer of this, but other than that, is there anything that really makes this a definitive FF game? Guess we'll see.

They both have clouds. Yes, they are almost exactly the same except being totally different. I'll never get this minute back of my life...

Does it have a Black Mage and a White Mage and other job classes??

@Impossibilium This is the way.

@Corc11 Because it's an action game at core, with only some RPG elements. Unlike the most popular FF games before it.

@Smiffy01 110% sure that was the most American name they could think of. I'd be more concerned about where Cloud came from? Definitely funny what that word means today... a long time after FF7.

@rjejr Agree with the not FF part. Where are the white mages, dark mages, other job classes, and it's non-turn based? Excellent looking game. Great trailer. It's not the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking of FF, but I'll still buy it and play it. Maybe there's something there that will be more FF than what I'm seeing.

Looks like a fantastic game but I don't see the "Final Fantasy" in it. Couldn't this be any other great game with a different name? Granted, we haven't seen a lot, even at this exposure, but what, other than name, makes this a Final Fantasy game?? I love being proven wrong when it comes to games. Hopefully, that happens here.

Gretchen! Stop trying to make cloud only gaming happen. It's not going to happen.

@ROTTIEMAN16 Well, don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you....

Please tell me it pays more than homage to the 80s/90s Final Fantasy games! If it doesn't, just lie to me and tell me it does.

This thing looks like it was trying to give Cyberpunk's initial release run for it's money. I know they were attempting to cash in on the show but maybe they should have baked it a while longer and released it along side Season 2? I'm betting the lower levels wanted to do just that and the suits badgered them into releasing a half-baked product. Like Cyberpunk, maybe I'll wait a year, grab this on sale, and after we're about 50 patches in.

Little troublesome that I've seen more reveals from this game than Zelda Tears of the Realm (Zelda BOTW2)

Wish you be happy!

Possible sleeper hit or a game that's so bad it's good and gains cult status, or 500,000 Scovilles bomb?

Only a few games I've played more than once. A few of the Zelda titles and Metroids. I have a really hard time getting back into a game I've completed.

@Tharsman Doesn't that already exist? Or is that your point?

@TheMightyImp2 Right....

Happy, happy unbirthday to you!!!

Only got Star Wars Jedi on my radar. Here's hoping/wishing there is a sleeper hit in one of the rest of those.

@NEStalgia I think it's just going to have to be casual to work. Again, I hope I'm wrong. I'm not a married to any technology and will play anything with a good game. PlayStation is different because you know this iteration and the next are going to have massive R&D for development. Guess time will tell, like anything else, I just don't see VR being successful until there's at least one in every 3 out of 5 households. Maybe mainstream is more the definition I'm thinking of. How many AAA production companies are actually working on a new VR game, how many of those are working on a new PSVR2 game?

@NeonPizza Wireless and extremely portable is when VR will ever takeoff in any meaningful capacity. It should be as easy to play as as a smart phone or most of the popular portables, easy to put down, and have the same type of library. Unfortunately, like any product, success is going to breed success and failure the opposite. I don't know if the PSVR2 is going to be a failure per se, but calling it a success is probably going to be a stretch. VR is currently transitioning from landline mode to portable brick phone mode, without the necessity a phone has. This isn't just a PSVR2 issue, it's VR in general. VR will be a "must-have" success one day, just when that will be, nobody knows.

@AtlanteanMan Don't disagree with your main point. It's GAMES and I don't think there'll be enough continued production of great games to make this a success. It's as niche as 3D and will be for a while. VR has to become as user accessible as a phone, a handheld, laptop, or tablet, and it just isn't there yet. I don't doubt it will be someday, just not any day soon.

Games. It's all about Games. Everything so far has seemed like a proof of concept. Unless you get big studios pumping out serious AAA titles, it may not die quickly, but it will just wither on the vine. I just don't foresee that amount of R&D going into this niche of a product. That's not saying it's a bad product, just not going to be mainstream until maybe this becomes an at launch in box peripheral one day. I hope they prove me wrong, I just don't see it... yet.

The game LOOKS better than the latest FF game everyone is so enthralled by but whether either is actually that good or just eye candy, is yet to be discovered.

@GorosBat Wasn't really gameplay, looked more like a walking simulator.

Zero combat or enemies in video. I could easily see the scenery WITH combat..... hmmm

I can tell I might be in the minority here, but I'm all ears! Gonna need a translator, though.

Definitely no ADHD on that team. I can't even look at the same spreadsheet for more than 10 minutes.

@bighal Think it all depends on what the other game vendors do.

The title of this article is so misleading. I don't know if it was on purpose or just a typo, but it definitely lacks context.

One single game making all this hooplah and it's not even a game I've been into for almost 10 years. What are they on now, COD 28? Nobody knows less about gaming than a government stooge. Just relax.

@daveofduncan Didn't seem mathematically like a major negative. Based on the 4 negatives it would barely register one star.

Some of those screens on the pre-registration page look ripped right out of their current game, but I guess it just has the same style.

@AndyKazama Yeah, not a fan of time limits. If I want anxiety, I can find it easily enough outside of gaming.

Ashley Graham in this game looks like she had finished raising her family, divorced her no-good husband, and is trying to get back on the dating scene in her 40s.

All I can think to say is...yikes.

@uptownsoul Weird flex, but okay. I think Starfield has more to prove and we should all be cautiously optimistic. I have zero doubts Spider-Man 2 will be a stellar game. I'm not a pre-ordering type of gamer but if I had to pre-order a game, and could only pre-order one of these, I know which one I'd choose.

Exact same prophecy was given during the computer revolution, I witnessed it. People still have plenty of work to do.

The woman in the pic looks like Aloy (you know, the PS5 exclusive protagonist.)

@sjbsixpack A few years at her age, will age her up anyway. I mean, it wasn't that long ago she wasn't even double digits, 3' tall, and giving Jon Snow a piece of her mind.

The time between show seasons these days makes me wonder if I'll live to see the next blockbuster 10 season run. I know this won't be in that category, thank goodness.

@ShadowofSparta I think it was a hotter IP than it is today and that's not all on Rocksteady.

@tallythwack Game Pass day one, if it's not scrapped or overhauled.

Wasn't prepared for this on a rainy Friday. So sad. Prayers to this man's friends and family. 60 is way too damn young.
