Finished the demo and I agree with most of the praise for the game so far. I'll be picking it up for sure. Combat was a lot of fun and a big improvement over 7R. The music was top tier, but FF games always seem to be great in that regard.
I'll just probably wait for a few patches to roll out first.
The demo felt like it had some serious performance issues. Graphics mode worked well but I don't know if I'd like playing such a fast paced game at 30 fps. An option to turn down the excessive motion blur would be appreciated too. The performance mode was just a mess. I feel like this game would be a prime candidate for a 40fps/120hz mode.
I can agree on the performance dipping quite a bit in traversal. Locking it to 40 would make the most sense with the current performance but I hope we can get a bit more squeezed out before the launch!
I used to love FF games back in the day, but haven't paid much attention since 12. Watched Cohh play 16's demo and I was blown away. I keep telling everyone how amazing it looks. I won't bug a PS5 but I'll absolutely buy it when it lands on PC.
Greatest demo of all time imo. That demo does more in it's short 2 hours to make me care about it's characters than majority of games I've ever played.
I haven't played it myself yet but I watched the cutscenes and they were the most over-the-top, edgy GOT story beats I've seen in a while. Just did not vibe with the tone at all. The idea that the game is meant to be "adult" when games like Yakuza 7 tell extremely adult stories without characters yelling "cock." Big "this ain't your DADDY'S final fantasy" vibes that just made me cringe.
I'm gonna get it because I treat games like artifacts of anthropological study but Im not looking forward to the narrative so far - couple that with CBU3s terrible track record with women and the fact that the only dark skinned characters are a clear middle eastern, turban wearing parallel lol.
I agree with everything you said. I absolutely loved it and can't wait for the actual release. I will say, I did find it incredibly easy though especially the dodging attacks. I'm hoping that's just because it was the opening to the game and a bit of a tutorial.
