"This game is about friendship! You're in control of this nice young prince in his journey to regain his throne while causing excruciating pain to random animals with death magic"
Noctis Pendragon we still haven't seen the newest ps4 build, yesterday's stream was from the xbone, you never know what voodoo Magic they have done on it.
Really, I think Vanille's version in FFXIII was the only useful version up to this point, and only because it at least did damage to the enemy either way.
People are dumb. Every FF has had some type of OP end game ability. Also people don't seem to notice they don't use it on any mob their lvl. just on weaker ones. Most likely a mob your level would take forever to kill with death.
tiernanstevens117 FF1 death and quake and kill were all op black magic. Literally can just spam the same spell to cut down every monster when you travel to the past.
I'm surprised that more people didn't complain that Noctis' Warp-Strike ability is a "rip-off" of Sasuke's Rinnegan teleporting. Jeez, people will say anything to try passing Noctis off as "basically Sasuke".
Final Fantasy Peasant are you going to do a theory video about this? :> i've been following you for quite some time now and i gotta say i'm always excited for new content :>
it could also be that they had players highly anticipate the games release in september and then delayed it so people who had built up so much hype will have to buy world of final fantasy prior to having no interest at all in the game. thats whats happening to me...DX
Mute_lava No, they delayed it to fix the FPS issue and because of the fact that Persona 5 released the same week and most people chose to get Persona over this game. Pretty smart. That way people will have time to finish P5 and then get to playing FFXV.
Mute_lava Yep, I'm sure you know that because you have inside info about the goings on at both SE and Sony. You totally didn't pull that out of your ass or anything.
If you put on earphones and listen from 1:45 and on carefully you can actually hear Noctis' creepy chuckle as he's casting death. It would be really interesting if Noct ends up a morally dubious anti-hero.
Also his reply to Ignis: "I KNOW!" (The ring must corrupt him somehow.) Think of how Peter Parker acts whenever he's used the black Spiderman suit. I can see it now. Luna: "The ring is evil, it's changing you, can't you see?" Noctis: "I'm tired of listening to you!" Too Much Is Never Enough: "Who cares about the thing I did that night? So, what maybe Luna had it right." (Speculation of course, but I think that ring is bad news and I reckon Luna will be the one to figure it out.)
I think that's where this is headed. I mean: - One of the main quotes in Versus was "nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so" - Noctis' eyes turn red when he uses his powers. That doesn't sound like a good thing. - His powers are connected to death in general. - We know that Noctis is going to go through some major suffering in this game. He has a reason to change sides. - Tabata did say that this game's villain would give every other FF villain a run for their money.
in the omen trailer the story was much darker and he was pretty evil. he killed luna but didnt even realize it. either way, he laughs like that occasionally when you get put into the danger zone it has nothing to do with the death spell
youre not invuenerable while you do it, if your surrounded its prolly pretty hard to pull off effectivly since it makes you a sitting duck, but its cool hp drain and stuf so its not that op as some might think,though it seemed so at first. that and its a late game spell/item. On another note did i see partners getting shocked by youre own lightning spell?
Well, considering it's end game magic, and higher level enemies probably will be immune to it, I would say that you wouldn't have much use for it anyways.
*cough* *cough* warp strike *cough* I don't get why people think the casting time is really nerfing this. Noctis can literally teleport out of combat and cast this from behind the wall of his comrades, it would not be that difficult, even on bigger enemies. Though I will admit that if the enemies were your level it would probably take longer, not sure how much though. And this doesn't seem like the kind of thing that just fails, except probably for bosses
Sun Fun ign gave the latest ratchet n clank 9/10 because you can feel occasionally lonely... Having different individuals playing a game just to give a dull review makes me think that they can't enjoy a game...ever!
7heWriter Also, they are super high LV using it on lvl 10 mobs. Check out when they use it on the last mob, LV38 bandersnatch, the video cuts 2-3 times before they kill it. So imagine being LV65 and using it on a mob your lvl. it would take forever to kill that way.
Ok, color me impressed! Nice animation and awesome power. I think this will be an end game item. This much power can't be at the beginning of the game. Besides it takes loads of MP and still it doesn't drop that fast as it would in the beginning when you use a simple warp strike.
isn't it obvious... you stand still when you cast the spell... in real time... when enemies can attack you... casting from max distance would be overpowered
It looks more like the monster was transported to another dimension. I was expecting a skeleton with a scythe coming out and slicing the poor bastards in half.
i really like the magic spell effects so far they are so dynamic and affect the battlefield the team is so passionate for this game and it clearly shows
Mangekyo Sharingan is not equal Kamui. Kamui is the Doujutsu of Obito's Sharingan and he could use it without mangekyo. So is the Tsukuyomi the Doujustus of itachis sharingan and only these eyes can use their Doujutsu. So if Sasuke not implants Obito's eyes he never can use Kamui.
This gameplay is running at a much better framerate than what we have seen previously.. wonder if this is from PC or perhaps PS4 Pro? Either way, I'm happy the performance has improved this drastically.
an interesting take on the FF Death spell... although I probably won't be using it a lot the older FF Death spells tend to miss and bosses are usually immune the only FF Death spell I mostly use was the one from FF 13 or Junctioning Death in FF 8 to the ST-ATK slot...
There's always OP shit in every FF game. Mime > Knights of the round? FFX max stats damage limit break etc. I don't think xiii had anything over powered. I always felt like a scrub in that game lol. if anything the summons will be the icing on the cake, SOOOO looking forward to that :)
>easily interruptable >costs a ton of MP, more for larger foes >no refunds on interrupt >renders you helpless and vulnerable while casting >single target effect only >people say it's OP Like by the time it takes to kill 6 grunts, it's better to throw a firaga or something, at witch point they will all die at once and it won't cost 1000+ MP
The OP part comes in fights against one large foe such as the iron giants, a fight that might have taken 5-10 minutes before could take 5-10 seconds now... little strange, plus MP is infinite, it builds quickly, all other spells I have seen need to be crafted, this one seems reusable soooooo... OP. Not a bad thing though, looks freaking cool, and I'm sure it will be only towards the end of the game, so I'm fine with it.
The work behind the deteriorating effect applied to the 3D models amuses me. The particle effects also look amazing. This spell is OP and beautiful af.
I hope it's like a ng+ only type of thing. It seems OP imo considering you regen mp. Yeah you can get interrupted during cast; but I mean like thats what are friends for? (Drawing aggro and tanking damage)
I don't see any point on showing this spell, it would've be been better if the player discovered it by himself instead of showing it off as if it was a normal spell. Besides, it is stupid for the spell to work on many of these enemies by one try. I kinda liked XIII's death better since it gives more difficulty but at the end we still need to try it out first.
Keep in mind that the game was originally meant to be out by now, so they didn't expect to have to make so many videos to try to keep the hype maintained. This is probably the best they can do without giving away any real spoilers. Besides, "Death" has sort of always been a spell in Final Fantasy. In fact, I'd say this is the most balanced the spell has been. In other FF games, you just hit the "death" spell and it would work 90% of the time on normal enemies. Here, it's the same, but it takes a lot of time for the spell to fully work and so you're completely vulnerable to enemy attacks while you're doing it.
Considering your MP recharges after every encounter, this would completely eliminate any random encounters. It may not be the most useful for bosses but it completely gets rid of the challenge and fun in getting from place to place. And yes, death has been in every Final Fantasy game, but this is the only one were it seems incredibly useful. Death usually only has a 1%-5%(with items) chance of working in most FF games AND it cost a bunch of MP, making it rather unreliable in combat, but rewarding if it works. This death seems to work too well. All you have to do is avoid being hit for a few seconds, and you're good to go. So yeah, it's very overpowered. No death spell should be THIS reliable
Kishuy this is late game and it most likely won't work on bosses, On Regis, I think he just was too old and weak for it, he did say at one point that he couldn't control the old wall.
So bosses are immune (it only drains their health), it draws crazy aggro by the look of it and it only seems to work on enemies way below your level. I actually like the last part a lot. Saves the effort of having to deal with much lower level enemies when you return to certain areas (which I'm guessing is what you will be doing when you get this item because I can't see this being acquired before late-game).
+Kabegami The Great Yeah, that startled me too xD. Well, the monsters do dissappear if you kill them with the spell. Maybe it's more like an absorption of existence instead of just draining life force.
Ladie Elizaveta I also noticed you're a fellow Okami fan. eyyy :D Not sure why that would make you skinny tho, distorted maybe but... idk, I'm trying to bring logic into fantasy, my bad.
Actually it is named "Death" Spell. But it does not mean that the thing it's used on has to die. Basically it did not work in the series always unless certain conditions are met. Plus some enemies are IMMUNE to Death Spell even if they are organic. It's a destructive but non damaging spell basically which annihilates the enemy or does nothing at all. Many spells and abilities have very different effect then what you would expect from their names.
medium to close range, and higher mag. def or level = longer casting time. I think that's an excellent trade off. I love how it feels like Anima's pain ability from FFX.
From what we saw - Death spell has a long, interruptable casting period. The more HP enemy has, the longer it gets. While casting it deals small amount of damage and executes enemies based on the time spent casting and enemy health left.
I'm loving that the spells have different affects now- the fact that Death drains HP while inflicting instant KO is amazing! Plus seeing the enemies wither away into nothing is a little terrifying, but cool! Honestly, I can't wait to see my favorite spells, Slow, Bio and Water-tier spells! Not to mention I'm loving all the other enemies they're bringing back, like the Crocogator from XII!
They treat this like the Death spell is a concept never to be seen before. New visuals and one new effect and that is kinda it. I'd like to see how Flare looks (and Ultima and Comet/Meteor/Doomsday if it's in the game)
I noticed Gladio said "Ain't got much life left..." and Noctis do a bit of an evil laugh after he got interuptted casting, plus the ominous music of the video itself. I really hope it stays this way in the full game, the negative reactions of Noct using the spell as opposed to fighting more traditionally. Really adds depth to the game 👌
Yoo this is a new build right? you got some armiger stuff in the main menu now and the hair also does look better than before not mention the textures as well, loved what i saw and that ring tho?! OP can't wait to unlock it by the end!
Can't wait to play this. Unfortunately I pre-ordered this expecting in the Sept release and, due to the delayed release (not complaining, happy to see them release a complete game rather than a patch-fest like what's out there now.), I will be out of the country for several months and won't be able to play it on release.
Cant lie the magic on this game is the best we seen i been waiting to see maagic spells and summons as great as the other ff like 7 8 and 10 now i think this game s about to change everything
I think this spell is going to be pretty well balanced. It looks like certain enemies will take a really long time for it to work (possibly needing to get HP off of them first), and it'll likely not work at all on stronger enemies (as is typically the case with "Death" in FF games). Makes me excited that there is probably going to be MUCH stronger magic in the game (ultima, holy, etc.). So stoked! :D
Interesting how the surroundings turn darker the longer the spell is used... (inb4 using it too much unlocks a hidden alternate ending where Noctis turns to the dark side)
The death spell in this game is so OP holy showw every other game has just been risk wasting a turn on this normal enemy that can be taken out in 2-3 turns and now its like why not just use the death spell while your buddies are keeping enemies busy and dealing damage at the same time
ThisIs MyName it costs a lot of mp depending on the monster and if you fail you don't get the mp back, it's a high cost-high damage attack, and lots of monsters in final fantasy are immune to the death spell, also it will definitely have a high level cap before you can use it.
![[ Final Fantasy XIII - 2 ] [ PC ] Academia City](/img/1.gif)
"This game is about friendship! You're in control of this nice young prince in his journey to regain his throne while causing excruciating pain to random animals with death magic"
The friendship thing is a ruse, thats not actually what the game is about at all
It's like watching the video they have with all the wild life. "Look at all these beautiful creatures, living peaceful lives." Let's go murder them!
PETA is going to be mad.
PETA is about animals, not monsters ;)
haha let's laugh at PETA from our fat couches while they actually try to help animals while we do nothing but grow neckbeards
That's pretty visually horrifying.
Yeah. It made me gasp when the first monster exploded
Like the vanish skill in FFXII where you suck an enemy into a tiny vortex head first.
seeing the enemies all emaciated actually makes me feel bad
not as much as ur pubic area
Like a vital force drain... the emaciation effect is just awesome!
The game looks graphically impressive now, this is probably the best delay in game history.
Noctis Pendragon we still haven't seen the newest ps4 build, yesterday's stream was from the xbone, you never know what voodoo Magic they have done on it.
i agree the hair looks better as are the textures, the optimization process seems to be going rather smoothly.
Just imagine on the pro
Someone's feeling a bit salty today eh?
I'm excited for this game but you're overhyping it
All the idiots in the comment section saying it's "op" xD Have you ever used Death in any final fantasy game?
Really, I think Vanille's version in FFXIII was the only useful version up to this point, and only because it at least did damage to the enemy either way.
Yes. Junctioned to my status attack in VIII. For I bring doom. (o_o)
People are dumb. Every FF has had some type of OP end game ability. Also people don't seem to notice they don't use it on any mob their lvl. just on weaker ones. Most likely a mob your level would take forever to kill with death.
tiernanstevens117 FF1 death and quake and kill were all op black magic. Literally can just spam the same spell to cut down every monster when you travel to the past.
actually no. I dont know why, but i've never used Death before.
Looks like Kakashi sending it to another dimension
Stop. No more Naruto references. FFXV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Naruto
Hey Matt calm down, Both can exist good in their own right.
I'm surprised that more people didn't complain that Noctis' Warp-Strike ability is a "rip-off" of Sasuke's Rinnegan teleporting.
Jeez, people will say anything to try passing Noctis off as "basically Sasuke".
White Raven Ikr. Fuck Sasuke
Nuzents A giant iron golem that could destroy buildings, no problem kamui bitch!
Love how the enemies get all super thin before...POOF!
it turn people in to stickman, and then kill them !
yhaa it basically unrenders them to death
yeah. it looks like it is literally sucking the life out of them.
The power graphics glitch.
lol oh man thats a grate comment xD enough to leave you dead
Classic spell for someone who will be the greatest villain of all time ;)
you know what's coming ma man ;)
Did you notice how gleeful Noctis sounded when casting the spell in some of the clips? Oh boy...
hehe kefka would have 1 or 2 word with ya mate :)
Final Fantasy Peasant are you going to do a theory video about this? :> i've been following you for quite some time now and i gotta say i'm always excited for new content :>
Did you notice it also restored noctis's life when cast?
Just what the world needs, emos with death spells.
Noct isn't though. If you watch brotherhood.
what about in the game?
Deathnote.
Stranac Oppilas BEST COMMENT
MrSleeps lol 😂 fr tho but to be frank, it's just a game haha
Is it me or does the gameplay look a lot better/smoother than before?
That's one of the reasons they pushed the release back, they were having really bad FPS issues. Seems like they are working hard on that
Ricky Roller Yeah it looks a lot better, I'm actually glad that they delayed it.
it could also be that they had players highly anticipate the games release in september and then delayed it so people who had built up so much hype will have to buy world of final fantasy prior to having no interest at all in the game. thats whats happening to me...DX
Mute_lava No, they delayed it to fix the FPS issue and because of the fact that Persona 5 released the same week and most people chose to get Persona over this game. Pretty smart. That way people will have time to finish P5 and then get to playing FFXV.
Mute_lava Yep, I'm sure you know that because you have inside info about the goings on at both SE and Sony. You totally didn't pull that out of your ass or anything.
one more month left ladies and gentleman
Well ... really two. It's coming out at the _end_ of November after all.
1 month + 29 days :C
more than that for me...i gotta wait till christmas since my ps4 died...
7 weeks and 6 days \o/
it's cruel to say that, at the beginning of october T_T
Looks pretty horrifying to see how you actually suck your enemies lives out till they vanish to nothingness... I like it :3
Haha it's amazing how it takes them a while to kill the bandersnatch before.
Like the vanish skill in FFXII where you suck an enemy into a small vortex.
anne brückler you german?
Yap, I'm german
Every time I use this skill I'm saying "RETURN TO NOTHINGNESS!"
Now show us how Ultima, Flare, Holy and Meteor/Comet Magic looks like ;)
I have a feeling those will be Summon's spells.
no way they than everyone will complain its to op lol cant have that happening
Nah, it seems like the summons will be doing classic summon stuff like Gaia's Wrath and Judgment Bolt
If you put on earphones and listen from 1:45 and on carefully you can actually hear Noctis' creepy chuckle as he's casting death. It would be really interesting if Noct ends up a morally dubious anti-hero.
Oh *god* O_O
Also his reply to Ignis: "I KNOW!" (The ring must corrupt him somehow.) Think of how Peter Parker acts whenever he's used the black Spiderman suit.
I can see it now.
Luna: "The ring is evil, it's changing you, can't you see?"
Noctis: "I'm tired of listening to you!"
Too Much Is Never Enough: "Who cares about the thing I did that night? So, what maybe Luna had it right." (Speculation of course, but I think that ring is bad news and I reckon Luna will be the one to figure it out.)
I think that's where this is headed. I mean:
- One of the main quotes in Versus was "nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so"
- Noctis' eyes turn red when he uses his powers. That doesn't sound like a good thing.
- His powers are connected to death in general.
- We know that Noctis is going to go through some major suffering in this game. He has a reason to change sides.
- Tabata did say that this game's villain would give every other FF villain a run for their money.
MrShawno1231 oh how i wish you were right
in the omen trailer the story was much darker and he was pretty evil. he killed luna but didnt even realize it. either way, he laughs like that occasionally when you get put into the danger zone it has nothing to do with the death spell
youre not invuenerable while you do it, if your surrounded its prolly pretty hard to pull off effectivly since it makes you a sitting duck, but its cool hp drain and stuf so its not that op as some might think,though it seemed so at first. that and its a late game spell/item. On another note did i see partners getting shocked by youre own lightning spell?
yeah ur allies get affected by spells from enemies and each other
Well, considering it's end game magic, and higher level enemies probably will be immune to it, I would say that you wouldn't have much use for it anyways.
the animation for it was a tad disturbing XP watch as the monster or person gradually becomes malnourished and turns to dust
Most of the monsters killed were also under LV20 while they were 65, from the twitchcon footage.
*cough* *cough* warp strike *cough*
I don't get why people think the casting time is really nerfing this. Noctis can literally teleport out of combat and cast this from behind the wall of his comrades, it would not be that difficult, even on bigger enemies. Though I will admit that if the enemies were your level it would probably take longer, not sure how much though. And this doesn't seem like the kind of thing that just fails, except probably for bosses
but but but, why didnt the king use this spell on the movie 😢
he hadnt the ring
Cuz....it's not his movie or his game...
*sigh*
Plot armor.
The reason is that Regis is too old to use this. Noct can use it but maybe the ring would make him old quickly
The closer you are to death by old age, the lesser powerful the spell gets.
Nah, just kidding.
The animation on the enemies remind me of the morphing weapons in Ratchet and Clank xD
Sims 4 Necromorph baby glitch
not to be a hater, but when will square show gameplay where the player isnt getting his ass kicked 😂
Because then everyone will complain the game is too easy.
They gotta give Mat something to do.
Reminds me of that video where they were getting slapped around by Titan for 20 minutes.
Yeah, I remember these complaints when we got first trailers, I think they put fails in, for that crowd.
Because the people who play this game, that they record, are scrubs and barely know how to play their own game.
Wow, I actually felt bad for the enemies
Gladio: Iggy, look out
+*Gladio get shocked by noctis' thunder magic*+
Noctis: +*trollface*+ problem?
this game is a beast in many ways
both visually and artistically !!
and the gameplay is so dynamic!!
a must play rpg!!
lmao xD
He may just be IGN, they give CoD a 9/10+ every year, and literally say it feels different every game
IGN is ass
Sun Fun ign gave the latest ratchet n clank 9/10 because you can feel occasionally lonely... Having different individuals playing a game just to give a dull review makes me think that they can't enjoy a game...ever!
Undertale...
10/10
Seems like they enjoyed it.
I know what spell I'm spamming in the game.
It's an end game item. Also I doubt you'll have much luck using it on mobs your lvl.
+timothy gw That makes sense. :o
7heWriter Also, they are super high LV using it on lvl 10 mobs. Check out when they use it on the last mob, LV38 bandersnatch, the video cuts 2-3 times before they kill it. So imagine being LV65 and using it on a mob your lvl. it would take forever to kill that way.
This is like the Zodiac Spear. It's not something you'll be picking up straight away.
its probably only obtainable by not opening the most obvious of treasure chests in the beginning of the game too. haha!
Doing a trailer about one spell is probably the most ridiculous thing Square has ever done.
It's all about the clicks today. I bet it won't be the last rediculous video. Milk the clicks-cow as long as you can!
so a game that cost around 100 million $ wants ad revenue ? lol
Actually, the reason it cost 100 million is literally because of marketing. 80% of it is the fucking fee for marketing.
With the cinematic trailer they've uploaded today we have a clue why they did this before.
Ok, color me impressed! Nice animation and awesome power. I think this will be an end game item. This much power can't be at the beginning of the game. Besides it takes loads of MP and still it doesn't drop that fast as it would in the beginning when you use a simple warp strike.
They said it's endgame in the vid
Also vulnerable when casting and possibly limited range. Not exactly an ideal spell to be using consecutively
where
isn't it obvious... you stand still when you cast the spell... in real time... when enemies can attack you... casting from max distance would be overpowered
this and many other spells will be game ending.
I think we can now expect Demi, Ultima etc. Im so hyped about this and now Im ready for that huge adamantoise
It looks more like the monster was transported to another dimension. I was expecting a skeleton with a scythe coming out and slicing the poor bastards in half.
i really like the magic spell effects so far
they are so dynamic and affect the battlefield
the team is so passionate for this game and it clearly shows
November 29.2016!!!!Coming soon!
Денис Калашников IM SO EXCITED😆
That's one scary Death Spell...even when interupted, the enemies still retain the drained look.
So that is ring magic
Its great to see the ultimate spells!
I haven't been hype for a console game for a long ass time. I hope the lives up to the hype
Reminds me of when sephiroth uses that one hit KO move in kingdom hearts
SEPHIROTH = NOCTIS CONFIRMED
Sephiroth: DESCEND HEARTLESS ANGEL!
Me: FUCK! Elixir Elixir ELIXIIIIIIIR!!
You can easily interrupt his Heartless Angel
It only dropped your mp to zero and your hp to 1...
You could still win if you didn't get hit for the rest of the match x')
haha yep so true
Sasuke just testing out his mangekyo sharingan, nothing to see here...just move along.
I don't think Sasuke's ever been able to use Kamui.
Mangekyo Sharingan is not equal Kamui. Kamui is the Doujutsu of Obito's Sharingan and he could use it without mangekyo. So is the Tsukuyomi the Doujustus of itachis sharingan and only these eyes can use their Doujutsu. So if Sasuke not implants Obito's eyes he never can use Kamui.
He was referring to the fact that the death spell animation looked like kamui .
Testing Kakashi's mangekyo eh?
Yes yes it's Kamui...forgive me senpai for bringing shame and dishonor to glorious nippon!
Love how people are complaining about and endgame spell that no one is making them use.
This gameplay is running at a much better framerate than what we have seen previously.. wonder if this is from PC or perhaps PS4 Pro? Either way, I'm happy the performance has improved this drastically.
an interesting take on the FF Death spell... although I probably won't be using it a lot
the older FF Death spells tend to miss and bosses are usually immune
the only FF Death spell I mostly use was the one from FF 13 or Junctioning Death in FF 8 to the ST-ATK slot...
FF6 Vanish+Doom was useful when grinding.
Lv5 Death was also useful for grinding in FFIX
Something else: the Bandersnatch looks terrifying.
This is no more OP than Ultima or Holy quit complaining people lol
There's always OP shit in every FF game. Mime > Knights of the round? FFX max stats damage limit break etc. I don't think xiii had anything over powered. I always felt like a scrub in that game lol. if anything the summons will be the icing on the cake, SOOOO looking forward to that :)
13 had death spell. Instakill adamantoise when you're nowhere near the level to even fight them = free upgrades to weapons and lots of cash.
Absolutely agree Abigail. Side note, marry me?
>easily interruptable
>costs a ton of MP, more for larger foes
>no refunds on interrupt
>renders you helpless and vulnerable while casting
>single target effect only
>people say it's OP
Like by the time it takes to kill 6 grunts, it's better to throw a firaga or something, at witch point they will all die at once and it won't cost 1000+ MP
The OP part comes in fights against one large foe such as the iron giants, a fight that might have taken 5-10 minutes before could take 5-10 seconds now... little strange, plus MP is infinite, it builds quickly, all other spells I have seen need to be crafted, this one seems reusable soooooo... OP. Not a bad thing though, looks freaking cool, and I'm sure it will be only towards the end of the game, so I'm fine with it.
OMG they fixed the camera! THANK YOU!
I can't wait for meteor and ultima!!
Bandersnatch looks like a mutated Alien Queen - love that design.
Damn,A spell that turns noct into the grim reaper xD
The work behind the deteriorating effect applied to the 3D models amuses me. The particle effects also look amazing.
This spell is OP and beautiful af.
i wish i could use this spell against my supervisor
Not a new spell to the Final Fantasy Series BUT it is defiantly welcomed back to the franchise with a fresh coating of sexyness.
just think other magic spells with that ring, there gonna be epic
Ultima and Holy hahaha
Jovanni Orcullo flare.
They should let Luna cast holy.
well we are almost there my friends. to those of you who have survived the 10 year wait, congrats. those of you that have not, my sympathies to you.
kill enough enemies with it and you can summon Doomtrain
The way it gets dark while using the spell, awesome also, scary.
I wonder when and where you unlock this.
I Guess Luna is going to give him the ring somehow..
they said in the stream that you'll unlock it near the end of the story
I hope it's like a ng+ only type of thing. It seems OP imo considering you regen mp. Yeah you can get interrupted during cast; but I mean like thats what are friends for? (Drawing aggro and tanking damage)
They said it was end game, soo probably unlocked end game. Just a guess.
when Luna dies
i love how sinister the spell is to the shrinking to the finger swaying
Are we also gonna have the protect and shell spells
i think protect and shell are pretty much confirmed because of kingsglaive
黒狼 lol nope
I don't see any point on showing this spell, it would've be been better if the player discovered it by himself instead of showing it off as if it was a normal spell. Besides, it is stupid for the spell to work on many of these enemies by one try. I kinda liked XIII's death better since it gives more difficulty but at the end we still need to try it out first.
i think they've shown this spell in place of something else that they're not allowed for spoiler reasons.
Also the game was originally due to be released by now, they might not have tons more to show haha
Keep in mind that the game was originally meant to be out by now, so they didn't expect to have to make so many videos to try to keep the hype maintained. This is probably the best they can do without giving away any real spoilers.
Besides, "Death" has sort of always been a spell in Final Fantasy. In fact, I'd say this is the most balanced the spell has been. In other FF games, you just hit the "death" spell and it would work 90% of the time on normal enemies. Here, it's the same, but it takes a lot of time for the spell to fully work and so you're completely vulnerable to enemy attacks while you're doing it.
This seems gamebreaking no matter how much the amount of MP it consumes.
Its not
"Death" has been in almost every FF title
Death has a higher chance of working the higher level you are including the size of the enemy, judging by the video that is
It's more like it's balanced out by enemies having status resistance towards death.
Considering your MP recharges after every encounter, this would completely eliminate any random encounters. It may not be the most useful for bosses but it completely gets rid of the challenge and fun in getting from place to place.
And yes, death has been in every Final Fantasy game, but this is the only one were it seems incredibly useful. Death usually only has a 1%-5%(with items) chance of working in most FF games AND it cost a bunch of MP, making it rather unreliable in combat, but rewarding if it works. This death seems to work too well. All you have to do is avoid being hit for a few seconds, and you're good to go.
So yeah, it's very overpowered. No death spell should be THIS reliable
That's the most freakiest version of the Death Spell I've ever seen in a Final Fantasy game.
its like Kakashi sharingan.
"kamui"
Obito's sharingan you mean.
its both their sharingan XD
just that obito just has dimensional jumping. but kakashi can suck things into another dimension blackhole style
Awesome! This is better than how the death spell on FF usually is where it only has like a 30% chance of working and it rarely works.
seems OP and why didn't Regis use this spell, or you know who in the movie.
Kishuy when does a death spell work on a boss? Rarely happens in ff games
Kishuy this is late game and it most likely won't work on bosses,
On Regis, I think he just was too old and weak for it, he did say at one point that he couldn't control the old wall.
Maybe by using too much death spells in his younger days :D
Perhaps the ring doesn't innately have this ability and it gets powered up near the end of the game?
So bosses are immune (it only drains their health), it draws crazy aggro by the look of it and it only seems to work on enemies way below your level. I actually like the last part a lot. Saves the effort of having to deal with much lower level enemies when you return to certain areas (which I'm guessing is what you will be doing when you get this item because I can't see this being acquired before late-game).
why should robots be affected?
Well, they're still magiteck. Perhaps the death spell goes after their magic power source instead?
Ladie Elizaveta but why should they become skinny?
+Kabegami The Great Yeah, that startled me too xD. Well, the monsters do dissappear if you kill them with the spell. Maybe it's more like an absorption of existence instead of just draining life force.
Ladie Elizaveta I also noticed you're a fellow Okami fan. eyyy :D
Not sure why that would make you skinny tho, distorted maybe but... idk, I'm trying to bring logic into fantasy, my bad.
+Kabegami The Great Okami was the best!! But yeah, kind of forgot we were talking about Final Fantasy here, whoops xD
always loved that effect on 3d models, and always wondered why it was so rarelly used
shouldn't this Death Spell not work on machines since machines can't technically die? Then again this is a fantasy game, so...
death works on almost anything non boss related.... that has always been like that.
magitek are machines infused with magic, so technically you can shut them down with death if you kill their magic!
my guess is that if it has life force of some kind it is vulenrable.
the machines i guess use magic as their lifeforce
If the human can teleport, use magic n summon god, why can't machines die? What's your logic?
Actually it is named "Death" Spell. But it does not mean that the thing it's used on has to die. Basically it did not work in the series always unless certain conditions are met. Plus some enemies are IMMUNE to Death Spell even if they are organic. It's a destructive but non damaging spell basically which annihilates the enemy or does nothing at all. Many spells and abilities have very different effect then what you would expect from their names.
medium to close range, and higher mag. def or level = longer casting time. I think that's an excellent trade off. I love how it feels like Anima's pain ability from FFX.
Looks OP as fuck.... I like it...
I noticed the targets almost immediately started going after the person casting death upon them, I would too if I noticed that
so it seems that you have to cast the spell twice? (that would be stupid..) or is it completely random?
its a spell that doesn't always work the first time depending on the enemy and it's HP
He didn't cast it twice, he switched weapons which is the ring. Everytime noct swaps weapons it appears in his hands and disappears again.
ok nice, like oldschool FF games.
From what we saw - Death spell has a long, interruptable casting period. The more HP enemy has, the longer it gets. While casting it deals small amount of damage and executes enemies based on the time spent casting and enemy health left.
I'm loving that the spells have different affects now- the fact that Death drains HP while inflicting instant KO is amazing! Plus seeing the enemies wither away into nothing is a little terrifying, but cool! Honestly, I can't wait to see my favorite spells, Slow, Bio and Water-tier spells!
Not to mention I'm loving all the other enemies they're bringing back, like the Crocogator from XII!
Every FF players know that death is the most useless thing ever in the game, almost everything has resist on death lmao
They treat this like the Death spell is a concept never to be seen before.
New visuals and one new effect and that is kinda it.
I'd like to see how Flare looks (and Ultima and Comet/Meteor/Doomsday if it's in the game)
LOL Gladiolus was struck by lightning
I noticed Gladio said "Ain't got much life left..." and Noctis do a bit of an evil laugh after he got interuptted casting, plus the ominous music of the video itself. I really hope it stays this way in the full game, the negative reactions of Noct using the spell as opposed to fighting more traditionally. Really adds depth to the game 👌
this game is pretty
y'all talking about death but im paying attention to the music
here is a spoiler ...this spell causes death.
AWESOME!!!those animations while spell casting....the hair goes back....AWESOME!!!!!
Ah Yes the death spell. The infamous spells that has little chance to achieve but worth try out during your desperate moments.
People coming here only to dislike the video. Dude come on? What is it that you don't like? It freaking looks good.
Yoo this is a new build right? you got some armiger stuff in the main menu now and the hair also does look better than before not mention the textures as well, loved what i saw and that ring tho?! OP can't wait to unlock it by the end!
I hope there's more to see when the game comes out. Feels like I've seen it all.
The way their bodies warp and dissolve into two-dimensions-- fucking savage.
ENEMIES AND TERRITORIES NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!
GREAT POST!~
Can you hear the whispers or chants when he's using the ring?
Am I the only one that heard noctis make a low evil sounding giggle when he was using death on the glamhoth? 😓
Dear Square Enix: Fix the camera following Noctis when in battle. It seems a bit off.
I feel like it warrents a touch more explosiveness like some organic particles escaping.
I definitely Look forward to starting a series on this!
Can't wait to play this. Unfortunately I pre-ordered this expecting in the Sept release and, due to the delayed release (not complaining, happy to see them release a complete game rather than a patch-fest like what's out there now.), I will be out of the country for several months and won't be able to play it on release.
@11:13 that synchronise roll. Olympic gold medal right there.
That was really cool and quite OP, you may order your buddy to catch their attention then use it!
Cant lie the magic on this game is the best we seen i been waiting to see maagic spells and summons as great as the other ff like 7 8 and 10 now i think this game s about to change everything
The magic in this game is starting to look so good. I should just mage it all the way through. And once I get Ultima...I will rule the world.
wow has the graphic's got better or something it looks more smoother than other gameplay video's
I don't know, but maybe they are only showing gameplay on ps4 pro
I think this spell is going to be pretty well balanced. It looks like certain enemies will take a really long time for it to work (possibly needing to get HP off of them first), and it'll likely not work at all on stronger enemies (as is typically the case with "Death" in FF games). Makes me excited that there is probably going to be MUCH stronger magic in the game (ultima, holy, etc.). So stoked! :D
ADD MORE BLOOD PARTICLES , its gonna look so cool! also making the cast more dark red would be awesome , but gj so far!
Interesting how the surroundings turn darker the longer the spell is used...
(inb4 using it too much unlocks a hidden alternate ending where Noctis turns to the dark side)
The death spell in this game is so OP holy showw every other game has just been risk wasting a turn on this normal enemy that can be taken out in 2-3 turns and now its like why not just use the death spell while your buddies are keeping enemies busy and dealing damage at the same time
This is just for demonstration, I doubt we will have so many good results with Death when we play the game
Noelqui R yeah the death spell remains the most useless spell in the game
ThisIs MyName it costs a lot of mp depending on the monster and if you fail you don't get the mp back, it's a high cost-high damage attack, and lots of monsters in final fantasy are immune to the death spell, also it will definitely have a high level cap before you can use it.
Todo luce tan hermoso :')
Qué dolor de bolas esperar dos meses más...
fucking awesome shit can't wait for the game man 6 damn years of waiting finally over :)
Wow, the game looks fantastic now. It finally has that polish representative of a core series Final Fantasy game. The delay was worth it!
Noctis there with the Death spell in hand:"Talk to the hand, bitch."
Looks really awesome, I seriously love hardcore OP abilities in games. This is perfect!
