The scene where Joshua's mom was pleading with his father not to take him to the phoenix gate hits so different when you realize that she was planning for everyone there to die and just did not want Joshua to die...
Ohhh shit, i didnt realise that. I thought she went full bitch mode, only the night before when her husband cucked her. But sure this kinda shit couldnt be ready overnight. And she also never cared about abyone but herself, as seen even when she tries to use her husband one last time for personal pleasure, even knowing he is about to die in hours from now. Fucking sicko.

@@notting2640yep, but the mere fact that he doesn’t skip the cutscenes is pretty telling of his judgement of the game and I don’t think he was instructed to not skip cutscenes since he doesn’t know about Eikon Challenge which shows that there’s not a detailed instruction on the contract, he just needs to play it. Just my opinion though but honestly, from his reaction on the finale, I think he genuinely likes it but kinda bored at the start though.
when Connor skip a cutscene, not because he doesn't want to hear the story, but because he doesn't want to get spoiled, you know he's loving the game (and the story probably amazing as well).
Which actually isn't even necessary because save data carries over, so you can just pick up where the demo leaves off anyway, so none of it is a spoiler.
@JackgarPrime sorry to say, but thats the most dxmb answer I ever heard and kind of selfish.. I mean I understand to you it might not be a spoiler, but to him in his point of view since he never seen any of this, he just doesnt want any spoiler for his own personal reason., just because you already saw it, you dont have to force others lol

Within the first 2 hours shows why i enjoy FF16's story more than FF7's Rebirth. In Rebirth there is like 5 occasions where you get a single splatter of blood, even moments that should be enough to paint the whole sidewalk, you only get a Trickle, here, here you get a Decapitation that provides more Blood than the entirety of Rebirth combined.
Just don't let him play 13 and we're good. If he has someone to watch over him so that he pays attention then 6 is my recommendation and NOT because it's my favorite game ever
If Koji the one who convinced SE to put all the F word in localization, he's in the chad team with YoshiP and Soken. For the 1st time I played FF in English dub. Not to mention english dub have improved so much
That’s because English is the original language this time around. It was recorded in English first, then rerecorded in Japanese to match the English voiceover. Essentially, Japanese is the dub this time
@@someclevername8167 It goes further than that, the original script was written in Japanese, then Koji and his team worked with the writers to rewrite the entire script in English. Then it was recorded in English, the talking animations were done, and then it was rewritten AGAIN in Japanese to better match the animations. Crazy how far they went this time around haha
I can totally say that this version of final fantasy are more mature than the other one. My legit reaction when Benedikta calling out to Hugo at the stairs: 😯😧😳
If no one has yet to notice when an Eikons eyes are yellow that means they have gone berserk or the host is no longer in control clive couldnt control infrit and Joshua came back to his senses during their fight you can tell when his eyes turn blue same as Shiva and Titans...
How long before the community starts to really drill into him who Sokken is and how freaking amazing he is? The amount of people from the FFXIV dev team on this game is just a pure freaking JOY!!!!!
I can't be the only one that thinks Cid's voice is just Connor's but deeper. Everytime I hear Cid talk I just imagine Connor in the booth reciting his lines.
34:50 what i love about this, is that usually when the "hero's party" is in a situation like this, they always get out alive. But here we see what would actually happen in this situation. There is no drama and no time, he is just gone.
I must say this demo was a blast. The epic monster clash to the reveal of that damned snake I just knew would be a traitor to the story amping me up for the game next week. I was gonna get street fighter 6 this week and final fantasy 16 2 weeks later but now im all in for final fantasy 16 and cant wait to see what insane fun and food for the eye balls they'll throw at me past the opening.
@raven12333 didn't know about that, that's pretty cool. I used heatwave counter against benedikta because it can be used to cancel magic and counter it. Countering a magic attack with it increases the damage I think.
Yes they're called "Bearers," people born with magic and are instantly turned into slaves that are traded across the continent. How each country deals with the Dominants depends on the country. They're the leaders in Rosaria, but they may be in different stations of society in others. Shiva is likely a slave based on what we've seen of Jill's treatment in the trailers.
This game does three things write that make up for it's other shortcoming: 1. Excellent music that heightens the experience 2. Good plot action 3. Moments: Scenes that give the audience an emotional connection with what's going on.
Chat and Connor was losing their shit over the excellent voice acting and amazing music. Me who is used to this from FFXIV: What...kind of games have you guys been playing? 😅 The voice acting and music are pretty awesome.
Titan's powers are OP no joke at 2:41:48 i killed everything with one Triangle Charge counter after a perfect dodge. Also the Guard is pretty strong, i was parrying Benedikta non-stop, she couldnt hit me.
There is a good lore on the tattoo but you would have to find out later on in the game on why those tattoos are specific and the implications of it... Hint: It has a mechanism.
Gonna be honest dont get how people ship clive and jill during conner reading jills lore it literally says at the bottom “came to love her as a SISTER” 1:03:16
Well considering in the previous cutscene the timelore says both clive's parents are cousins i see no problem with clive and jill getting together since he hasnt seen her for half his life plus again him reaching out his hand like that and then pulling back was not a brother/sister thing
This may come to a surprise as ff16 is a Japanese's game but the developer has put the most effort into the English voice acting to the point were the facial animation lip syncing was done on the English version. In my opinion the English VO is the intended VO. despite the game being made in Japan.
Trailer content that many just didnt realise: Many dont realise but that Ifirt was not Clive. You can see in the trailer that there are two Ifrits in the game. One of the Ifrits is a bit darker
Clive more or less is striving and earnest when the game begins. His father dotes on him; because his Father is in the same position he was in. Elwin is more or less to many people probably a 'pretender' who sat the throne of Rosaria in a difficult time when the previous Archduke perished. Meanwhile his mother was more or less raised on the notion of pedigree; since her line more or less was capable of producing heirs that would house the Phoenix Dominant, by some means or another. The why isn't clear. Yet for Anabella; she saw her firstborn son; the one who SHOULD have been Phoenix's Dominant? Become a curse to her own image of what she was made to be, her purpose and her worth. It became a stain on who she was; what she was. The child was a means to an end; and ultimately perhaps had Clive been exactly what she wanted; she could've been a normal woman. But I can't imagine the embitterment she endured; the suffering of being married simply for power and then subsequently failing to deliver. Which ultimately turns the family into the horrible division it is. Clive was treated as a failure; the firstborn who didn't live up to Rosaria's needs, his only crime being born without power. This likely instilled inadequacy and likewise inferiority into Clive. His relationship with Jill and Elwin alongside mentors and other soldiers likely fostered some warmth for Clive; and he would prove himself at a young age; likely by virtue of consistent and constant training and an indomitable will. He's definitely the sort to be fueled by that. Depending on how far back the last war was; who can say what spurred Clive's lean into militant professions beyond his father seeming liable to partake of excursions. But Joshua came into the picture. And Anabella produced the heir she was always meant to. Showed Joshua something closer to a mother's warmth...the frantic energy of a protective mother hen who coddled her prize golden egg; ignoring the chick she already had at best and lamenting his existence to his face otherwise. Joshua luckily wasn't poisoned by his mother's delusional instillment of bloodline importance yet; and primarily through Elwin and Clive; managed to inform himself of the worth of kindness. And this is where Clive Rosfield blooms as a character. He handles Anabella's scorn. He grows past it. He adores his father's lighthearted favor; determined and rigid when he needs to be; but determined to make it as bearable as possible. His mentor in Murdoch wallops him; but in good spirit and tries to foster his fighting spirit. Jill becomes a close family friend. And his personality shines. He's overcome most of what stung him. He admits his jealousy of Joshua being the Phoenix; perhaps something Clive dreamed he could be; and perhaps part of why he was so adamant on protecting Joshua. To give Anabella something from her failure firstborn. To protect the power that kept his Father's rule stable. To give himself purpose and importance. Yet; he finds more to it than that. He adores Joshua and that's the primary goal. He undergoes the training to self-improve and actualize. He wants to be acknowledged. And he's soft-spoken because he's likely had his ego beaten down. He's confident; knows himself, and has Joshua's very own blessing in order to instill into Clive his importance. He wields magic without being one of the bearers that mend his family's castle; for example due to it. He's competent and earned it through that training and winning a tourney all his own to BE Joshua's Shield to begin with. Jill he wants to reassure when she shows she cares about him. Yet he's afraid to comfort her; afraid to reach out to her. Jill meanwhile does something Clive doesn't; pray for his own safe return. Clive concerns himself over and over with Joshua's safety; his being, and the tethered importance and responsibility he's gained; that it's at his detriment. He puts himself in harm's way in a burning castle so Joshua could make a dashing escape. This is WHY Elwin goes so far out for Clive's sake in part too; against Anabella's assertions. Clive is closer to Anabella than anyone wants to believe. His behavior, his kindness, his gentleness, much of it is informed by people around him; but her treatment, belittlement, and likewise scorn of him has been probably the undying ache in his chest for gods-know how long. He internalizes a lot of her beliefs through his deeds. He puts Joshua's life; his role as Phoenix over his own. And Joshua meanwhile insists that leadership is more worthy of Clive's own personality over something gifted at birth; with Joshua ridiculing the notion of his own ascent as unfair and not derived from his own merits. And Clive does so much to prove himself. His training; his tourneys, his protection of Joshua. Joshua is dear to heart too; which makes it so much easier to hide the thorns in the affection. The jealousy; and the aches that might mend to scars with time had things not gone so dour. Clive doesn't value himself, and it stems from Anabella. He's selfless; and kind and it's born out of having suffered and lacking his own self-worth. He fights for it though. He's not afraid to reach out his hand; and dream of it. It's all he wanted. Until Phoenix Gate. Where his First Command succeeded only to be punctuate with unprecedented tragedy. He couldn't fulfill his duty; everyone he loved there died outside of Torgal, Ambrosia, and Jill and some unprecedented danger slew the Phoenix; his beloved brother. Becoming a soldier, a slave, while filled in his heart with an unyielding rage... The Clive we meet is sure to be broken. But we've seen not just who he can start stumbling back to be... But the person he wants to be. A happy person who treasures himself. Being able to see himself; the way Joshua always saw him.
Kept on repeating "What's happening? What's happening?" -- can he not see what's going on the screen? Like can hot see a giant Phoenix fighting with what looked like an Ifrit? -- seriously, can't see what's happening? Is he on a different screen? LOL
interesting reaction...just a personal feeling but I feel you're reacting more to the chat than the actual game(I think you looked more to the chat window that the game window). have fun with your games!
For Anabella Rosfield, the biography info said the Phoenix bloodline belonged to her family, not the Rosfields. Her duty in life was to ensure the Phoenix's protection. It was that reason she betrayed Rosaria for the Holy Empire of Sanbreque. We saw how the Duchy of Rosaria were worried about their future war with the Iron Kingdom and success was not guaranteed. Because of this, Anabella likely appealed to a power greater and far more worthy of protecting the Phoenix bloodline (her family's bloodline), the Holy Empire of Sanbreque. However, Anabella, as we see, is bitter about Joshua's demise because she failed her life's duty of protecting the Phoenix. Thus, she has to sire another child again that can inherit the Phoenix's power. However, Joshua is still alive. We know this because the Phoenix battles Bahamut and helps Clive in future story missions as seen in the trailers.
@@FranklinW I really don’t know how the power of Dominant inheritance works. Maybe the Eikon chooses its vessel based on the person’s strength and personality. Phoenix, Bahamut, and Shiva are the only ones that were inherited by royal bloodlines: Rosfield Family, Lesage Family, and Warrick Family.
@@hehashivemind6111 it’s barely a sequel, you don’t really need to know much context from the previous FF7 entries if you want to play this blind. It definitely isn’t even a hard sequel lol, it’s just to explain why the story’s being remade
I don't think there will be debuffs since its an action game. You've never heard of a paralyze or poison or blindness in a Devil May Cry, and you won't likely find it here. Bad Breath barely does anything in the demo.
@@trollingisasport stale? How? Have you seen the combo videos people have been doing? The gameplay has a lot of depth if you know what you're doing. The only difference from a DMC is that the game doesn't judge you for your creativity like DMC does.
You know this game is something else when it gets Connor to praise the music and lore and not skip cutscenes
i mean wasnt he paid not to skip

@joceja23 It depends on what the sponsorship contract outlines. Some just say to play it for x hours, some say to show off specific things.

Half way in this video and he's parried more than he's dodged, wtf. 😂
Trailer content that many just didnt realise:
Many dont realise but that Ifirt was not Clive. You can see in the trailer that there are two Ifrits in the game. One of the Ifrits is a bit darker

yep. that's how i felt when i played this the first time. john wick time, leave my dog alone witch
Best time to be an FF fan
Clive more or less is striving and earnest when the game begins. His father dotes on him; because his Father is in the same position he was in. Elwin is more or less to many people probably a 'pretender' who sat the throne of Rosaria in a difficult time when the previous Archduke perished.
Meanwhile his mother was more or less raised on the notion of pedigree; since her line more or less was capable of producing heirs that would house the Phoenix Dominant, by some means or another. The why isn't clear.
Yet for Anabella; she saw her firstborn son; the one who SHOULD have been Phoenix's Dominant? Become a curse to her own image of what she was made to be, her purpose and her worth. It became a stain on who she was; what she was. The child was a means to an end; and ultimately perhaps had Clive been exactly what she wanted; she could've been a normal woman. But I can't imagine the embitterment she endured; the suffering of being married simply for power and then subsequently failing to deliver.
Which ultimately turns the family into the horrible division it is.
Clive was treated as a failure; the firstborn who didn't live up to Rosaria's needs, his only crime being born without power. This likely instilled inadequacy and likewise inferiority into Clive. His relationship with Jill and Elwin alongside mentors and other soldiers likely fostered some warmth for Clive; and he would prove himself at a young age; likely by virtue of consistent and constant training and an indomitable will. He's definitely the sort to be fueled by that. Depending on how far back the last war was; who can say what spurred Clive's lean into militant professions beyond his father seeming liable to partake of excursions.
But Joshua came into the picture. And Anabella produced the heir she was always meant to. Showed Joshua something closer to a mother's warmth...the frantic energy of a protective mother hen who coddled her prize golden egg; ignoring the chick she already had at best and lamenting his existence to his face otherwise.
Joshua luckily wasn't poisoned by his mother's delusional instillment of bloodline importance yet; and primarily through Elwin and Clive; managed to inform himself of the worth of kindness.
And this is where Clive Rosfield blooms as a character.
He handles Anabella's scorn. He grows past it.
He adores his father's lighthearted favor; determined and rigid when he needs to be; but determined to make it as bearable as possible.
His mentor in Murdoch wallops him; but in good spirit and tries to foster his fighting spirit.
Jill becomes a close family friend.
And his personality shines.
He's overcome most of what stung him.
He admits his jealousy of Joshua being the Phoenix; perhaps something Clive dreamed he could be; and perhaps part of why he was so adamant on protecting Joshua. To give Anabella something from her failure firstborn. To protect the power that kept his Father's rule stable. To give himself purpose and importance.
Yet; he finds more to it than that. He adores Joshua and that's the primary goal. He undergoes the training to self-improve and actualize. He wants to be acknowledged. And he's soft-spoken because he's likely had his ego beaten down. He's confident; knows himself, and has Joshua's very own blessing in order to instill into Clive his importance. He wields magic without being one of the bearers that mend his family's castle; for example due to it. He's competent and earned it through that training and winning a tourney all his own to BE Joshua's Shield to begin with.
Jill he wants to reassure when she shows she cares about him. Yet he's afraid to comfort her; afraid to reach out to her. Jill meanwhile does something Clive doesn't; pray for his own safe return. Clive concerns himself over and over with Joshua's safety; his being, and the tethered importance and responsibility he's gained; that it's at his detriment.
He puts himself in harm's way in a burning castle so Joshua could make a dashing escape. This is WHY Elwin goes so far out for Clive's sake in part too; against Anabella's assertions.
Clive is closer to Anabella than anyone wants to believe. His behavior, his kindness, his gentleness, much of it is informed by people around him; but her treatment, belittlement, and likewise scorn of him has been probably the undying ache in his chest for gods-know how long.
He internalizes a lot of her beliefs through his deeds. He puts Joshua's life; his role as Phoenix over his own. And Joshua meanwhile insists that leadership is more worthy of Clive's own personality over something gifted at birth; with Joshua ridiculing the notion of his own ascent as unfair and not derived from his own merits.
And Clive does so much to prove himself. His training; his tourneys, his protection of Joshua. Joshua is dear to heart too; which makes it so much easier to hide the thorns in the affection. The jealousy; and the aches that might mend to scars with time had things not gone so dour.
Clive doesn't value himself, and it stems from Anabella. He's selfless; and kind and it's born out of having suffered and lacking his own self-worth. He fights for it though. He's not afraid to reach out his hand; and dream of it. It's all he wanted.
Until Phoenix Gate.
Where his First Command succeeded only to be punctuate with unprecedented tragedy. He couldn't fulfill his duty; everyone he loved there died outside of Torgal, Ambrosia, and Jill and some unprecedented danger slew the Phoenix; his beloved brother.
Becoming a soldier, a slave, while filled in his heart with an unyielding rage...
The Clive we meet is sure to be broken. But we've seen not just who he can start stumbling back to be...
But the person he wants to be. A happy person who treasures himself.
Being able to see himself; the way Joshua always saw him.
Bahaha xD My PS5 too was in the box for half a year till FF16 came out :P
I just played the Demo, you can skip cutscenes?
Yes you can.
Kept on repeating "What's happening? What's happening?" -- can he not see what's going on the screen? Like can hot see a giant Phoenix fighting with what looked like an Ifrit? -- seriously, can't see what's happening? Is he on a different screen? LOL
How apt that the next FF game he played is FF8x2
lol, you're right xD
TH Office 2:30:09
That guy with the kid face, Wade. Kind of looks like a thicc Ethan from Unus Anas
interesting reaction...just a personal feeling but I feel you're reacting more to the chat than the actual game(I think you looked more to the chat window that the game window). have fun with your games!
gameplay starts at 1:10:00
For Anabella Rosfield, the biography info said the Phoenix bloodline belonged to her family, not the Rosfields. Her duty in life was to ensure the Phoenix's protection. It was that reason she betrayed Rosaria for the Holy Empire of Sanbreque. We saw how the Duchy of Rosaria were worried about their future war with the Iron Kingdom and success was not guaranteed. Because of this, Anabella likely appealed to a power greater and far more worthy of protecting the Phoenix bloodline (her family's bloodline), the Holy Empire of Sanbreque. However, Anabella, as we see, is bitter about Joshua's demise because she failed her life's duty of protecting the Phoenix. Thus, she has to sire another child again that can inherit the Phoenix's power. However, Joshua is still alive. We know this because the Phoenix battles Bahamut and helps Clive in future story missions as seen in the trailers.
How do we know that later Phoenix isn't a new child inheriting the Phoenix?
@@FranklinW I really don’t know how the power of Dominant inheritance works. Maybe the Eikon chooses its vessel based on the person’s strength and personality. Phoenix, Bahamut, and Shiva are the only ones that were inherited by royal bloodlines: Rosfield Family, Lesage Family, and Warrick Family.
Ayyy its the POOP RAID lets goooo
Thats was a fun stream!
Joshua gonna need more than that 9999 heal spam after THAT.
So is it spoilers or is it not spoilers if its included in a demo
"No animals were harmed in the making of this game"
oh my god the instant NTR between Connor and Benedikta was crazyyy XD
I think Conner is into final fantasy games now lol
This is a very promising FF game, as people who are not even fans of the saga want to play it!
Let’s roll bro 15:18
There welshies 1:49:57
...And so it begins
What did you do Connor?!
1:26:30
Im gonna play this..
IM GONNA PLAY THIS!
So cool! Final Fantasy 7 Remake when? 🙊
He needs to play 7 first. Remake is a sequel to Advent Children.
@@hehashivemind6111 it’s barely a sequel, you don’t really need to know much context from the previous FF7 entries if you want to play this blind. It definitely isn’t even a hard sequel lol, it’s just to explain why the story’s being remade
Man this game looks so awesome wish I had a ps5 oh well gotta wait till pc port. >.
Has Connor played a Devil May Cry before, because I think he and his competitive desire to gigachad all over enemies might like those games
LETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I absolutely LOVED the representation of British accents!!!!❤❤❤❤
The one thing I'm noticing this battle system is lacking is buffs and debuffs. Im curious if that is addressed at any point.
I don't think there will be debuffs since its an action game. You've never heard of a paralyze or poison or blindness in a Devil May Cry, and you won't likely find it here. Bad Breath barely does anything in the demo.
@@hehashivemind6111 Yeah it certainly seems that way. Im guessing the gameplay will get stale later on.
@@trollingisasport stale? How? Have you seen the combo videos people have been doing? The gameplay has a lot of depth if you know what you're doing. The only difference from a DMC is that the game doesn't judge you for your creativity like DMC does.
Ya this ff game seems to be leaning towards Hack and slash like from Plantinum games or DMC.
