Every single game you mentioned (XIV, Dragon's Dogma, DMC) is in some way tied to this project, lmao. Square got a lot of amazing people together for this, under Yoshida's management i'm sure it'll be phenomenal.
I have high hopes with Yoshi P and team. They resurrected FF 14 from the ground, send them flying high as it is now, like a true Phoenix. Yoshi P always hide lots of things to keep the expectation down, but when you play the game, you will be blown.
Yoshi P gets stuff done too, so I don't think we'll have a half baked development hell product again (and I'm saying that as some who likes 15 despite itself haha). At least I certainly hope not.

FF14 the MMO has very mature rated things in the story. The story in 14 is considered by many to be the best one in any FF currently, but most people don’t know because they don’t play it. You have prostitutes, dismemberment, war atrocities, words like ‘bitch, bastard, shite and whoreson being used by characters, etc. There is a little blood shown here and there, but not enough gore to get them a M rating. It’s rated T for teen, with a description of “Alcoholic reference, animated blood, language, suggestive themes, violence”. The director of FFXIV, Naoki Yoshida (known as Yoshi P) is a producer on this game. After he resurrected FF14 from 1.0 and remade it as the highly successful A Realm Reborn, the company gave him a lot of cache.
The best thing is, they made a comment about how "A Mainline FF game, will never be as violent as Type-0, because a brutal FF would turn off many fans." To say the least, they were wrong
Love the fact that it's going back to this style, that's something we needed for this new FF, since Xiii and XV were much more modern looking worlds. Really got XII vibes, which is awesome, loved that game.

@@roypradipta4371 We'll see, and if it even has the FF7R or XV (didnt play that one) battle system, I don't mind. If the Story and gameplay is addicting then it has my purchase. But a FF in DMC style would be really interesting 😃
Yes, I feel the same way. They don’t deserve all the hate and negative comments everywhere - they are slowly coming back in shape. But yes, FF13 series, FF14 1.0 launch and not so great FF15, of course many were disappointed. It will take time for them to build up trust again.
@@franciscobutte No way, with FF7R he resurrected it. The game is a masterpiece if only the fans would just give it a chance and stop comparing it to the original.
@@CJTranceAddiction Nomura is neither the writer nor director of the project. His involvement is mostly political, so the game being glorious and well-rounded barely has anything to do with him
I was a die hard FF1-6 and 9 fan but I was hard out after x. This had me in chills and near tears. The classic FC theme? The fantasy setting? I’m SO hyped for this. I’m not a fan of the action gameplay, but I will hold out hope.
Rosencrantz I disagree but I understand that people like it. More people like the “new” FF than ever liked the old. But I don’t find much to like about the Sakaguchi-less FF games. There was a definite point after FF7 where Final Fantasy became “cool” and “sexy” which was never a part of the original games. (I guess largely because they couldn’t be). I never really liked that vibe. I liked it when FF was less serious and had one foot in the arena of musical theatre. (The stories were told like musical theater and the games frequently featured some element of theatre like the opera house or Tantalus)
JazGalaxy You should atleast play Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy 12. Both of those games are similar to what was shown in FF16 like politics being a main part of the story. FFT is one of the greatest games of all time and FF12 is a an amazing prequel to flesh out FF Tactics' world.
Dev Oh, yeah. Tactics and tactics advance are both phenomenal. Those games are much more like the original final fantasy which is why I love them. I do want to give 12 a shot. I want to play the remaster At some
I highly recommend trying the ff7 remake. But you can start with any number. They are all different worlds and stories. They just have similar themes, monsters, weapons, music etc.
FF16 will be the turning point for Yoshida in all other genres. Heavensward and Shadowbringers are both FF14 expansions, whose stories' arcs far outclass most games, beat EVERY mmorpg story so far, and is among my all time top favorite now, yop they are in Nier: Automata levels of greatness. If you feel like wanting to try a mmoJRPG, with lots of great story arcs, this is it. albeit you have to suffer through a bit of a long walk till you get to the greatness, which start at the end of ARR. FF16 seems to compose of the very best from Heavenwards and Shadowbringers, in story and era placement, along with a nice spongy game engine for vivid combat.
@@dreamer6737 I didn't really get into XIV until it was announced that Yoshi P was involved with this, so my wife and I decided to try it out to check his style. We are early on into Stormblood now and it has been a WILD ride. Heavansward pulled off some story beats and action PACKED cutscenes that I didn't even know were possible in MMOs. I can't wait to get through Stormblood, Shadowbrinders, Endwalker and eventually FFXVI. My faith in the brand is slowly being revived and I'm so hyped about it.
i'm not going to lie final fantasy had been making open world game pretty well lately. even ffxv was really good being it incomplete. cyberpunk was kinda shitty to be honest lol.
I haven't played FF14, I dont want to commit to a MMORPG in life right now,but I love the story and the direction it has going for it. And this looks like it's story is going in a similar direction as FF14, I can't wait!
U don't have to play Ff14 for an MMO u can play for just a single player final fantasy game since that what u do most of the time is u playing it solo, and now square they let us play Ff14 for free for basically the entire base game and the first expansion which I recommend u try heavensward the first expansion it brilliant
Nah, unlike WoW or other MMOs. Game doesnt need commitment unless you really just doing it to do extreme raids. If youre just going for story then gear is pretty much handed to you to complete it all.
I already see tons of people that are disappointed and i don't get why. The combat looks great so far and actually balanced with enemies actually staggering, timing based blocks and doges etc. and you can tell that the DMC/DD battle designer is working on it. You basicly have Nero's moveset, magic seems to just work like his gun evne including charge shots, you have the Devil Bringer, same launcher/high time etc. The story also seems a lot more mature and the world and overall artstyle is closer to oldschool FF and FF Tactics/Vagrant Story. Finally no more overdesigned character that don't fit into the rest of the world. The summon designs are also already incredible and close to Amano's old artwork. And the music sounds straight out of FFXIV which is a definitely a good thing. People wanted a story as good as the ones from XIV but without having to play an MMO, yet all i see is people complaining that it "just" looks like a XIV expansion and that the visuals suck and everything looks generic. It really just shows once again that most FF "fans" just want a button mash spectacle with high end visuals.
@TheVolourn Why do you people always say "we" can you not just talk for yourself. And "certainly not actual FF"? Then what is? We had turn based, ATB based, realtime gambit, ATB Paradigm Shift, ATB Action with all RPG elements. So why do you decide which one is "actual FF" and which one is not. The combat already looks really good so far. You have actual combos, enemies staggering, timing based dodge/block, actual RPG elements and different magic elements. Do you really want high end visuals and then have characters slowly take their turns? And please don't act like FF ever needed any strategy or something. The only somewhat balanced FF games were FFX intenational, FFX-2 international and FF Tactics WOTL, the other ones were mostly "use attack command for 90% of the game except super bosses" I bet you also think the PS1 games were turn based the in fact FF only had 3 or 4 turn based, ATB is not turn based, enemies will not wait for your turn. ATB and Turn based was always just a limitation factor, if they could have done realtime combat earlier they would have done it. And the game is at least 2-3 years away, of course we are gonna see more of it, most likely other playable party members too. With Yoshi P and the Dragon's Dogma battle designer on it you can bet your ass we are gonna get some crazy Blackmage characters among other ones. Everyone screams for FFXVI now now now and then they get it and do nothing but complain after we barely know anything about it.
At first I really thought it was a sequel to my most beloved game, FF Tactics. Anyway, from what I've seen, it really looks like it brought the soul of the old Final Fantasy games. I really hope they nail it this time!
XpertRebel95 FF15 is so boring. I stopped at like 10 hours. I just couldn’t be bothered anymore. The world is empty and ugly, characters are the least diverse & interesting ever in the entire franchise... and looks like they’re doing that again with 16. All white all male fantasy.
For the Upcoming Final Fantasy XVI, I think Nomura doesn't picked as character designer because Square solely want him focused with FF7 Remake part 2 And sounded Square want to steps out from the comfort zone instead relying on Nomura style all the time The character designer that will handling the FFXVI is the guy that handling DMC 5 That's why I probably won't be surprised if the some of character might get touch of DMC style For the music part, I think Soken might be picked for the project
glad to hear that this will only be a timed exclusive so that more people will get the chance to play it, but during the stream I was really disappointed by Damiani's reaction to the exclusive tag at the end of the trailer. It really came across as toxic and childish console wars making fun of xbox fans. As someone who plays on every platform I was second hand embarrassed watching that live. I hope Damiani grows up a bit and does a better job leaving his childish corporate fandom at the door. Easy Allies used to embody love and respect, and watching Damiani laugh at xbox fans and celebrate their tears was really disheartening. It gave what was otherwise a really jolly moment a sour taste to me. I'm super excited for FFXVI though, and I'm glad that we now know more people will eventually get to play it!
If Yoshi P is rly attached to this...I’ll give this a go. Skipped XV, but I’m in love w/ XIV (2.0 onward)...and a good bit of that is because of Naoki Yoshida.
i bet 10$ this is set in one of the shard world in FF14 - same chocobo model from 14 - Eikon is basically primal other word in 14 - same team by 14 (yoshi etc) - soken music - people become eikon/primal is like how shiva in 14 i swear either this end with the world vanish because astral imbalance and getting absorb into the source (ff14 main world) or the main guy on the verge of giving up and suddenly a rumor of mysterious figure somewhere doing things what the main guy has been trying to for years..... and call himself "the warrior of light" (cue next "new arc" ff14 expansion)
its really heavy on 14 aesthetic iam not surprised if the game later reveal to be one of the world in 14 universe and the game end with our player from 14 arrive on their world (14 new expansion)
From saving FFXIV back from destruction to now releasing their next biggest project... FFXVI. For those who don't know... Creative Business Unit III - Naoki Yoshida.
That's weird, because other versions of this trailer made it seem more like it would be PS5 timed exclusive, with other platforms coming later. If it comes out on PC the same time as PS5, that is amazing news for me!
@@hornyanddepressed6805 To a small degree. I think it looks very much like the direction FF15 was going, with a bit of Platinum Games thrown in. I think it's relevant in the sense that it isn't stuck in development hell, and it's not ANOTHER spin off of FF13.
@@Whawpenshaw I guess I'll give this game the benefit of the doubt. But I'm not happy with the fact that it's ANOTHER action rpg, and even more Action centered than FF15.
Ahahaha "They are borrowing a lot of cool shit from FF game..." That is literally the entire FF franchise the whole point is they take from each other...
So what im getting is Eikons in this world are people? And each realm/country has there own like a nuke basically. They use them for war? Main character is on a journey to protect this boy to another place for maybe a peace treaty but shit goes awol and you go on a journey to avenge or find answer while he ages.
I mean like..... wait a minute those models look really dam familiar.... is this from final fantasy 14? but na..... apparently its the same team working behind it though which would explain why it looks so much like it. I mean to me this isn't as mindblowing... final fantasy 13 versus looked so different and amazing from other final fantasy before it, until it turned into final fantasy 15 which was almost a different game from 13 versus.... it was a pretty big risk from square enix to try a new concept like it and to me it somewhat paid off, they still made a shit ton of money from it so ya. This one seems more like it's going back to the old school medieval days of final fantasy 1 and 2 and the bloodiness of final fantasy type 0, so excuse me if my mind is not blown by this because I have seen this concept before square enix is definitely playing it safe for this new one... but you know if it has a good story I'm all for it.
What I don't understand is why Final Fantasy Fantasy doesn't have main characters who carry shields... its like they want the main characters to die as quickly as possible. Historically people who have had one handed swords also have a shield... Its stupid for the main characters to not carry a shield at all.
Holy shit it's a final fantasy game that isn't ashamed to be a final fantasy game, we have Sword and Sorcery, Crystals, Jobs, and summons. I pray they do not let nomura within 100 leagues of this project.
Nomura's original vision of Vs13 was more about the kingdoms, sorcery, switcable characters and crystal. The FF7R is also more Final Fantasy than the FF15, FF13 and FF10 which Nomura didn't direct. Nomura is actually one of the best directors on Square Enix. Just because KH3 and KH DDD were bad doesn't change the fact that he has also made KH1, KH2, KH CoM(Has a great story but shit gameplay), KH 358/2 days and Final Fantasy 7 Remake and these are some of the best games of all time.
probably will be released on pc 2 yrs later with "promised" better graphics and all that shit. too much money on the pc platform to ignore. The trailer looks so fucking good. graphics feel a bit dated but what matters is the game itself
its games of thrones meets devil may cry meets dark souls meets fanal fantasy ........why are we shocked .. this was nailed on!! ....sort of dissapointing too
I got to admit the only thing that I'm disappointed about with all ff games is the performance capture is very dated at this point... I know it's not fair to compare every game to the last of us part 2 but this is next-gen we're talking about so why can't the faces animate and emote better at this point. One look from Ellie and you know what she's thinking and I'm getting tired of having these characters having to overanimate like in the halo trailer or in this trailer just to show emotion. Having said that this is going to be a day one, week off and a combat looks insane. God it looks amazing.
Because they were made for current gen consoles, to get the next gen experience there have to be games devoted to only the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Or a big ass upgrade like what CD project Red is doing in 2021
Every single game you mentioned (XIV, Dragon's Dogma, DMC) is in some way tied to this project, lmao. Square got a lot of amazing people together for this, under Yoshida's management i'm sure it'll be phenomenal.

@@roypradipta4371 We'll see, and if it even has the FF7R or XV (didnt play that one) battle system, I don't mind. If the Story and gameplay is addicting then it has my purchase. But a FF in DMC style would be really interesting 😃
Big Boss
Looks absolutely nothing like The Witcher 3. Don't know where you are getting that from.
FFXVI, VIIR Pt. 2, & DQ12 in the pipeline, along with whatever they’re doing with KH after Re:mind. Dare I say Square is back!?
only after a Chrono sequel or a remake
FFXIV Greatness, Nier Automata, DQXI, Octopath, and FFVII-REMAKE?
Square never left, man.
Yes, I feel the same way. They don’t deserve all the hate and negative comments everywhere - they are slowly coming back in shape. But yes, FF13 series, FF14 1.0 launch and not so great FF15, of course many were disappointed. It will take time for them to build up trust again.
Dq12 is enix
I just started to get back into XIV, and now this!!!! Holy crap this must be a sign
Me 2 I just finished the extended free trail and I bought the complete edition of Ff14
please, finish untill patch 5.3 story, you both You wont regret.
I just reacted like Ben, flailing my arms in the air out of pure bliss.
These guys are true fans of Final Fantasy.
Nice to see the franchise going back to this style, although I miss Nomura's character designs lol. Really hyped
Same here, but I'm down for whatever with FF. I want to get into 14, but don't think I have the time.
@@geoffbaumgartner5335 Yeah, same
Glad that Nomura is out of the project. He killed FF.
@@franciscobutte No way, with FF7R he resurrected it. The game is a masterpiece if only the fans would just give it a chance and stop comparing it to the original.
@@CJTranceAddiction Nomura is neither the writer nor director of the project. His involvement is mostly political, so the game being glorious and well-rounded barely has anything to do with him
In Yoshi-P we trust
I’ve been missing the individually edited trailer reactions. Thank you for doing them for this
Can we all just appreciate how great the theme song is for this game? Goosebumps.
VIIR, XIV Shadowbringers, DQ11, NieR Automata, and then now XVI, KH4/Verum Rex, VIIR2, DQ12 in the making. Seems like Square is back!
Jeeeez when those choir guys get goin' that's good STUFF!
Been repeteadly playing that part since yesterday. Can they release the ost now.
I heard "Fantasy based on reality".
Just know you make me cry again for the game that never exist.😥😢😭
R.I.P. FFvsXIII
You guys need to let go of Versus XIII, it's been eleven years, look forward to SE's future, not dwell on the past.
I was a die hard FF1-6 and 9 fan but I was hard out after x. This had me in chills and near tears. The classic FC theme? The fantasy setting? I’m SO hyped for this. I’m not a fan of the action gameplay, but I will hold out hope.
Rosencrantz I disagree but I understand that people like it. More people like the “new” FF than ever liked the old. But I don’t find much to like about the Sakaguchi-less FF games. There was a definite point after FF7 where Final Fantasy became “cool” and “sexy” which was never a part of the original games. (I guess largely because they couldn’t be). I never really liked that vibe. I liked it when FF was less serious and had one foot in the arena of musical theatre. (The stories were told like musical theater and the games frequently featured some element of theatre like the opera house or Tantalus)
JazGalaxy
You should atleast play Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy 12. Both of those games are similar to what was shown in FF16 like politics being a main part of the story. FFT is one of the greatest games of all time and FF12 is a an amazing prequel to flesh out FF Tactics' world.
Dev Oh, yeah. Tactics and tactics advance are both phenomenal. Those games are much more like the original final fantasy which is why I love them. I do want to give 12 a shot. I want to play the remaster At some
@222ckc XIV says hi.
I've never been into FF, but this game caught my interest.
thats the best part of the franchise, just jump into whatever interests you, they all go for their own thing.
I highly recommend trying the ff7 remake. But you can start with any number. They are all different worlds and stories. They just have similar themes, monsters, weapons, music etc.
@222ckc Stfu u boomer lmao. Just cause u didn't get ur ff7 2.0. This is basically ff 1-3 type of ff.
@222ckc FFXIV easily surpasses all classic FFs. Have you played XIV?
I recommend Final Fantasy X, and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
FF16 will be the turning point for Yoshida in all other genres. Heavensward and Shadowbringers are both FF14 expansions, whose stories' arcs far outclass most games, beat EVERY mmorpg story so far, and is among my all time top favorite now, yop they are in Nier: Automata levels of greatness.
If you feel like wanting to try a mmoJRPG, with lots of great story arcs, this is it. albeit you have to suffer through a bit of a long walk till you get to the greatness, which start at the end of ARR.
FF16 seems to compose of the very best from Heavenwards and Shadowbringers, in story and era placement, along with a nice spongy game engine for vivid combat.
It’s sad a lot of FF fans prob haven’t played FF14 expansions. Played FF for 20 years and 14 is top 3 for me now =P
@@dreamer6737 I didn't really get into XIV until it was announced that Yoshi P was involved with this, so my wife and I decided to try it out to check his style. We are early on into Stormblood now and it has been a WILD ride. Heavansward pulled off some story beats and action PACKED cutscenes that I didn't even know were possible in MMOs. I can't wait to get through Stormblood, Shadowbrinders, Endwalker and eventually FFXVI. My faith in the brand is slowly being revived and I'm so hyped about it.
This is everything I want from an FF game. I really hope it's the full experience this time.
Ben is loving the crap out of this, and so am I.
This one looks seriously amazing! Looks like the first Final Fantasy main title that’s actually good since XII.
anyone else get chills when MC says "I'll kill you, even if it's the last thing I do!" ?
I legit had goosebumps 95% of the time
This is basically Heavensward, but very dark (yes I know Yoshi-P is the Director).
*producer
Some of the character designs, story hooks, and music really gave me FFXIV vibes. You can totally feel the soul of Yoshida at work here.
producer, the director did co-direct heavensward though
Are you guys doing a full show reaction?
Feeling so lucky rn. Got my pre order in at Gamestop already for $50 down.
It's like a mix of XV and VII remake in the combat system imo.
Can’t wait til this comes out in 2030
not when Yoshi P is the producer
Apparently, this is worked on by the FF14 GUYS ( obv. Divison 3 logo) but it makes me have more faith since FF14 is the last great FF since 12
Yoshi P is the producer
They have been working on it for years, only 15 more to go!
Explain pls 😅
@@dannywild8838 it's just a joke because of how long ff15 took. I hope this one doesn't take as long. I am super stoked for it since it will be on PC.
Hopefully, we're gonna see it soon because Sony said they wanted to stop that "long developpement" habit and release big games like that more oftenly
@@mouadelmoujaddidi6580 Well I hope that is true but not to replace quality games with empty open world games with copy and paste activities to do.
@@ericwr4965 Is that a reference to Fallout 76? 😂
Will need more info on combat, but this is definitely looking good as FF title.
i'm not going to lie final fantasy had been making open world game pretty well lately. even ffxv was really good being it incomplete. cyberpunk was kinda shitty to be honest lol.
I haven't played FF14, I dont want to commit to a MMORPG in life right now,but I love the story and the direction it has going for it. And this looks like it's story is going in a similar direction as FF14, I can't wait!
U don't have to play Ff14 for an MMO u can play for just a single player final fantasy game since that what u do most of the time is u playing it solo, and now square they let us play Ff14 for free for basically the entire base game and the first expansion which I recommend u try heavensward the first expansion it brilliant
Nah, unlike WoW or other MMOs. Game doesnt need commitment unless you really just doing it to do extreme raids. If youre just going for story then gear is pretty much handed to you to complete it all.
Dude. Dont miss FF14! Its magic
looks so tactics / ivalice love it
Now they just need Ishikawa Natsuko(writer for DRK job quest and Shadowbringers' main story) to write the story for 16...
They have Matsuno for 16
Yeah I am with Ben, Joshua looks a lot like one of the mc's in FF3. Also never expected a Final Fantasy character with my name.
Lol
I already see tons of people that are disappointed and i don't get why.
The combat looks great so far and actually balanced with enemies actually staggering, timing based blocks and doges etc. and you can tell that the DMC/DD battle designer is working on it. You basicly have Nero's moveset, magic seems to just work like his gun evne including charge shots, you have the Devil Bringer, same launcher/high time etc.
The story also seems a lot more mature and the world and overall artstyle is closer to oldschool FF and FF Tactics/Vagrant Story. Finally no more overdesigned character that don't fit into the rest of the world.
The summon designs are also already incredible and close to Amano's old artwork.
And the music sounds straight out of FFXIV which is a definitely a good thing.
People wanted a story as good as the ones from XIV but without having to play an MMO, yet all i see is people complaining that it "just" looks like a XIV expansion and that the visuals suck and everything looks generic.
It really just shows once again that most FF "fans" just want a button mash spectacle with high end visuals.
@TheVolourn Why do you people always say "we" can you not just talk for yourself.
And "certainly not actual FF"? Then what is? We had turn based, ATB based, realtime gambit, ATB Paradigm Shift, ATB Action with all RPG elements. So why do you decide which one is "actual FF" and which one is not.
The combat already looks really good so far. You have actual combos, enemies staggering, timing based dodge/block, actual RPG elements and different magic elements.
Do you really want high end visuals and then have characters slowly take their turns? And please don't act like FF ever needed any strategy or something.
The only somewhat balanced FF games were FFX intenational, FFX-2 international and FF Tactics WOTL, the other ones were mostly "use attack command for 90% of the game except super bosses"
I bet you also think the PS1 games were turn based the in fact FF only had 3 or 4 turn based, ATB is not turn based, enemies will not wait for your turn.
ATB and Turn based was always just a limitation factor, if they could have done realtime combat earlier they would have done it.
And the game is at least 2-3 years away, of course we are gonna see more of it, most likely other playable party members too.
With Yoshi P and the Dragon's Dogma battle designer on it you can bet your ass we are gonna get some crazy Blackmage characters among other ones.
Everyone screams for FFXVI now now now and then they get it and do nothing but complain after we barely know anything about it.
At first I really thought it was a sequel to my most beloved game, FF Tactics. Anyway, from what I've seen, it really looks like it brought the soul of the old Final Fantasy games. I really hope they nail it this time!
FF 15🔥🔥🔥
FF 7 remake: 🔥🔥🔥
This is a day one purchase
FF15 was an awful game...
Sam Adams yes and no near the end yea it fell apart but the rest was lit
U know what an awful game is go play Death Stranding LoL
XpertRebel95
FF15 is so boring. I stopped at like 10 hours. I just couldn’t be bothered anymore. The world is empty and ugly, characters are the least diverse & interesting ever in the entire franchise... and looks like they’re doing that again with 16. All white all male fantasy.
Sam Adams “characters are the least diverse and interesting ever in the entire franchise”
🤦♂️ gtfo
Please do you a favor and play the older ones. I recommend IV, VI and IX and after that post again.
For the Upcoming Final Fantasy
XVI,
I think Nomura doesn't picked as character designer because Square solely want him focused with FF7 Remake part 2
And sounded Square want to steps out from the comfort zone instead relying on Nomura style all the time
The character designer that will handling the FFXVI is the guy that handling DMC 5
That's why I probably won't be surprised if the some of character might get touch of
DMC style
For the music part, I think Soken might be picked for the project
Interesting direction, Im vibing the look of the combat and story.
When Brad gives a solid reaction and then repeats himself immediately, you know the rest of the show’s about to be good 🤙🏼
glad to hear that this will only be a timed exclusive so that more people will get the chance to play it, but during the stream I was really disappointed by Damiani's reaction to the exclusive tag at the end of the trailer. It really came across as toxic and childish console wars making fun of xbox fans. As someone who plays on every platform I was second hand embarrassed watching that live. I hope Damiani grows up a bit and does a better job leaving his childish corporate fandom at the door. Easy Allies used to embody love and respect, and watching Damiani laugh at xbox fans and celebrate their tears was really disheartening. It gave what was otherwise a really jolly moment a sour taste to me.
I'm super excited for FFXVI though, and I'm glad that we now know more people will eventually get to play it!
Imagine FFXIV but with FFXVI graphics - holy, this looks so good. I can already see what the future Dragoon and Monks would look like.
If Yoshi P is rly attached to this...I’ll give this a go. Skipped XV, but I’m in love w/ XIV (2.0 onward)...and a good bit of that is because of Naoki Yoshida.
i bet 10$ this is set in one of the shard world in FF14
- same chocobo model from 14
- Eikon is basically primal other word in 14
- same team by 14 (yoshi etc)
- soken music
- people become eikon/primal is like how shiva in 14
i swear either this end with the world vanish because astral imbalance and getting absorb into the source (ff14 main world) or the main guy on the verge of giving up and suddenly a rumor of mysterious figure somewhere doing things what the main guy has been trying to for years.....
and call himself "the warrior of light" (cue next "new arc" ff14 expansion)
In the throne room scene, i felt some kind of Game of Thrones vibe. I'm all for it!
its really heavy on 14 aesthetic iam not surprised if the game later reveal to be one of the world in 14 universe and the game end with our player from 14 arrive on their world (14 new expansion)
Looks better than 15 already
Ok baby ready for wait 10 years after trailer today????
Was on the front page of the channel but not on the videos tab. Strange
From saving FFXIV back from destruction to now releasing their next biggest project... FFXVI.
For those who don't know... Creative Business Unit III - Naoki Yoshida.
Reminds of me of a combo of FFXIV and FFXV, set in the world of FFT with a heavy FFT-0 influence. In short…I can't frigging wait!!!
what does "ps exclusive, also available on pc" mean?
Means not on Xbox or Nintendo consoles.
@@NightWanderer31415 that's what i thought too. :) I just find it weird that it used the word exclusive. I thought it means something different.
Ps exclusive for a year after released, then available on PC. Same with what they did for FFXV
Thank God Square is making Final Fantasy relevant again. Hilarious "also on PC" asterisk BTW.
I love just how tiny to made that font.
Making it relevant by completely changing the genre
That's weird, because other versions of this trailer made it seem more like it would be PS5 timed exclusive, with other platforms coming later. If it comes out on PC the same time as PS5, that is amazing news for me!
@@hornyanddepressed6805 To a small degree. I think it looks very much like the direction FF15 was going, with a bit of Platinum Games thrown in. I think it's relevant in the sense that it isn't stuck in development hell, and it's not ANOTHER spin off of FF13.
@@Whawpenshaw I guess I'll give this game the benefit of the doubt. But I'm not happy with the fact that it's ANOTHER action rpg, and even more Action centered than FF15.
Ahahaha "They are borrowing a lot of cool shit from FF game..." That is literally the entire FF franchise the whole point is they take from each other...
He’s gonna age n die a heroic death like noctis n I’m gonna cry all over again. I’m not ready😭
So what im getting is Eikons in this world are people? And each realm/country has there own like a nuke basically. They use them for war? Main character is on a journey to protect this boy to another place for maybe a peace treaty but shit goes awol and you go on a journey to avenge or find answer while he ages.
this game alone is enough for me to get the ps5
While the combat looks nice, i hope they return for a turn based style at some point later in the series... at least for one game.
is it just me or when the first appearance of the Joshua play the brave exvius theme?
That is the Final Fantasy anthem. It plays in almost every Final Fantasy game.
YoshiP babyyyyyyyy
Let's gooo
Dat music!
Hype as fuck. Holy shit. I was hoping for a God of War reveal but also a FF16 one? Take my money Sony.
I love your reaction!
It looks amazing!!
Isnt a FIRST world of 14? Or they played a video with wrong file name? 14 6.0 sth...Ha
Sony took a dump in Microsoft's mouth with this presentation to be honest.
then MS came on their face the following week
Where's the whole thing?
The writers of this game are the same as FF14 so expect nice stories
A lot of final fantasy iv vibes 🤗
I love the focus on the Phoenix. This feel like a renaissance after how bad XIII and XV were.
I hope. I was sorely disappointed with 13trilogy and 15 story.
Xv was very underrated the ending was one the best endings to final fantasy in my opinion
I thought shots were fired with MS buying those 50 studios some years ago, but that was an airsoft BB.
THIS WAS A FREAKING NUKE!
I mean like..... wait a minute those models look really dam familiar.... is this from final fantasy 14? but na..... apparently its the same team working behind it though which would explain why it looks so much like it.
I mean to me this isn't as mindblowing... final fantasy 13 versus looked so different and amazing from other final fantasy before it, until it turned into final fantasy 15 which was almost a different game from 13 versus.... it was a pretty big risk from square enix to try a new concept like it and to me it somewhat paid off, they still made a shit ton of money from it so ya.
This one seems more like it's going back to the old school medieval days of final fantasy 1 and 2 and the bloodiness of final fantasy type 0, so excuse me if my mind is not blown by this because I have seen this concept before square enix is definitely playing it safe for this new one... but you know if it has a good story I'm all for it.
Final Dogma May Cry 14
1:17 Does that look 8-bit to you?
The graphics look like Black Desert
why don't they just concentrate on the second part of 7 remake? I NEED THAT SHIT
@Rosencrantz but still do we need both of them? i just care about finishing 7
What I don't understand is why Final Fantasy Fantasy doesn't have main characters who carry shields... its like they want the main characters to die as quickly as possible. Historically people who have had one handed swords also have a shield... Its stupid for the main characters to not carry a shield at all.
I mean the original warrior of light is a paladin and uses sword and a shield
Final Devil May Fantasy 16
Shame they never finished FFXV, I hope this game doesn't get the same treatment.
They had more than enough time
Not the same director. Im not worried about this one.
Holy shit it's a final fantasy game that isn't ashamed to be a final fantasy game, we have Sword and Sorcery, Crystals, Jobs, and summons. I pray they do not let nomura within 100 leagues of this project.
relax, nomura need to finish his FF7R remake project before he can direct a new FF series. Maybe he can direct in FFXX. hahaha
Nomura's original vision of Vs13 was more about the kingdoms, sorcery, switcable characters and crystal. The FF7R is also more Final Fantasy than the FF15, FF13 and FF10 which Nomura didn't direct. Nomura is actually one of the best directors on Square Enix. Just because KH3 and KH DDD were bad doesn't change the fact that he has also made KH1, KH2, KH CoM(Has a great story but shit gameplay), KH 358/2 days and Final Fantasy 7 Remake and these are some of the best games of all time.
Waiting on your reaction to GoW ;)
probably will be released on pc 2 yrs later with "promised" better graphics and all that shit. too much money on the pc platform to ignore. The trailer looks so fucking good. graphics feel a bit dated but what matters is the game itself
It looks alike vision of the wars FFBE
Much excite
Its devil may cry x soulbourne x final fantasy.
Final Fantasy with Summon as the center of the story??
.
.
.
.

.
.always has been
its games of thrones meets devil may cry meets dark souls meets fanal fantasy ........why are we shocked .. this was nailed on!! ....sort of dissapointing too
I got to admit the only thing that I'm disappointed about with all ff games is the performance capture is very dated at this point... I know it's not fair to compare every game to the last of us part 2 but this is next-gen we're talking about so why can't the faces animate and emote better at this point. One look from Ellie and you know what she's thinking and I'm getting tired of having these characters having to overanimate like in the halo trailer or in this trailer just to show emotion.
Having said that this is going to be a day one, week off and a combat looks insane. God it looks amazing.
Because they were made for current gen consoles, to get the next gen experience there have to be games devoted to only the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Or a big ass upgrade like what CD project Red is doing in 2021
@@exodustimes4266 I don't know if I agree with that
