    Played the demo about two hours ago. Instant preorder. Can’t wait to see the story unfold. Definitely had that older final fantasy 7/8/9 feel to it with Devil May Cry combat on top. Hearing it opens up and becomes more robust has me very excited to dive in. The more mature tone is a welcome pace when compared to other titles in the series and I’m here for it. The Eikon battles were breath taking. I’m glad I waited until closer to release to give the demo a go.

    Despite the obvious combat changes, the series really did go back to its original roots with this game. Crystals, medieval intrigue, linear character-driven narratives in vast and lore-rich areas but also tons of optional sidecontent for people who want to see more. This game sounds like it could easily have come out the 2000s FF era or even the 90s in terms of mentality and that's a good thing!

      I'm a little concerned with the apparent low difficulty level of the default Adventure mode. I couldn't, at least in the demo, imagine using any of those auto effect rings. The motion blur was killer as well as some odd lack of distinction and contrast during the eikon battle scenes. The demo is build 1.01 and the game is going to be shipped as build 1.03 with no apparent day one update, so I'd imagine there has been some further performance polish applied. I hope the game isn't super linear, as I was getting those vibes from my own time with it in addition to watching some impressions from YTubers that got to try out the broader event package a couple of weeks back.

I can’t wait for this game to drop on the 22nd.

    I saw that it wasn't open world and I got excited. I then saw it took around 70 hours to 100% and I screamed. I love me some big open world long ass games but man every game is so big these days and there's just not enough time. It's refreshing to see this game have a pretty decent run time without a ton of bloat that's trying to steal your attention away for the next 2 years

    • @VentusLionheart
      @VentusLionheart Год назад +28

      I honestly prefer story driven non-open world RPGs over the open world with bloat. All the modern open world games feels pretty cookie cutter and level design suffers because the concentration was on the giant maps. There are some exceptions, but overall most open world games do not offer much beyond just a giant map.

    Two interesting things about the combat I noticed from the demo:
    Each Eikon has 4 abilities- 2 special attacks, 1 "utility" (like Phoenix's dash or Titans block) and 1 that's sort of a "counter": e.g Phoenix has an ability that dispels projectiles and fires a shockwave (powered up if you actually countered a projectile)
    And despite being full on action- there is a slight "turn-like" strategic vibe to the game because enemies have named attacks that are always accompanied by super-armor, an attack namecard, and often a telegraph

  • @MedskiPurnamski
    @MedskiPurnamski Год назад +8

    Just finished the demo last night and I have some pros and cons. I like that the game shows you related lore entries whenever you pause a cutscene, it helps to make you understand some of the more complicated plot better as well as keeping track of the many characters involved in the story. The graphics look great, though I experienced some slowdowns even in framerate mode. It's not always a consistent 60fps but it will probably get fixed in the final release. I don't really like the camera tracking because sometimes it feels like it's fighting you whenever you try to manipulate the viewing angle. Items get automatically picked up whenever you walk to it and while it's nitpicky from me I always prefer pressing x first before picking up any item in an RPG. Combat is... mixed. It feels awkward that dodging and dashing require different buttons to execute since I'm more accustomed to dodging by dashing + directional button, also not liking the fact that dashing is an eidolon power and not a standard feature. Perfect dodging is also a bit annoying to perform. Even with a ring that slows time for you to press R1, it just feel tedious because you need to dodge almost all the time. Story wise it looks interesting, though the Game of Thrones vibe kind of threw me off guard.

    • @DeathxNote
      @DeathxNote Год назад

      Well with the ring/R1 dodge that's strictly due to you having the pendant that slowed the game down for you. Remove it alongside other stuff they auto equipped on you at the start of the Challenge mode. Therefore you don't have time slow down (giving you the ring with R1) and you can be more aggressive. I tend to rely on perfect parries such well-timed blocks AND well-timed attacks against enemies about to attack. It works on all enemies including strong types. In other words it allows you to choose when to perfect dodge for precision strike counters OR perfect parry with normal attacks and eikon abilities for punishment. On the camera I super agree with you because even in the settings I had the tracking enemy off-screen toggled off and yet as soon as you fight strong enemies my camera stayed on it without me using lock on either. Although it did state it's more geared to taking away auto tracking your next enemy that's off screen I was hoping it was full freedom of my camera usage type of setting. Anyway hope you give the demo another chance after taking the auto equipped stuff off because you'll absolutely feel a COMPLETELY different experience by making choices you want rather than the game doing it for you 👍

    • @MedskiPurnamski
      @MedskiPurnamski Год назад +1

      @@DeathxNote I did say that 'even with the ring... it's tedious', so it's still tedious without the ring. With the ring it's tedious AND breaks the flow of combat. Why I don't like this perfect dodge mechanics is related to that other issue as well. I just keep mistaking the dash button for the dodge button because in other action games they're usually the same button. So maybe the issue is specific only to me but that's just how I feel about it. I don't know, maybe I'll take another pass at it. The prologue isn't bad, it's the Eikonic Challenge that frustrates me more.

    • @DeathxNote
      @DeathxNote Год назад

      @@MedskiPurnamski Okay I understand now thanks for clearing that up for me. And yeah I understand the dodging concept you touch on because games like Dark Souls heavily stick to dash/sprint and dodging keybinded to the same button. I'm sure once you adjust, if you're looking to keep trying, it'll become new muscle memory for you and might even gain a better time out of it overall. I personally kept using the Phoenix dash to dodge which doesn't really work so I get you. But I also have a heavy background with DMC games so I eventually was able to register R1 is dodge and then everything else just turned into learning the windows of opportunity to do things. So yeah I still stick to what I said about parry. The game has heavy mechanics revolved around parrys more than even dodging gives. But anyway thanks for hearing me out even though I read into your situation incorrectly
