So awesome seeing this review. I'll never forget WCCT Reno 2018 having dinner with you, Harnish and Feliks and Feliks saying "is that Yau?" while watching you solve one. FTOs come a long way since then by no small contribution on your part! Really hope it becomes an event. #FTOforWCA!
After almost 15 years of cubing, I have never heard someone explain the benefits of cylindrical vs. spherical vs. conical architecture so succinctly and clearly before, but it makes so much sense and I’m so glad you took the time to flesh out the nuances of those structures. Love the rest of the review, but I just had to mention how cool it is that you included that part. Hoping to pick up this cube in the next week or so
can't wait to finally get into this puzzle (and potentially its higher order versions, I've been enjoying the 5x5 Pentahedron from ShengShou that I got this month a lot!)
Amazingly and beautifully presented! Was a bit surprised to see you say that its still competitive with the rexto at the highest level. Maybe its just my rexto but its quite night and day in terms of performance. Definitely would love to try your rexto some day if i ever get the chance. But amazing review, easily the best one ive seen so far
Question: have you considered making an updated review for this cube with TheCubicle’s additional hardware kit? Also, will you cover the release of the DaYan FTO once it comes to market?
Diansheng's old FTO from years ago used this color scheme, and they happened to reuse it for their new one. Green is opposite blue and red is opposite orange to match standard 3x3 color schemes, which I think is a nice change over the Lanlan.
Grey for tradition and consistency I guess, the old FTOs had grey. Imho, they should've had white opposite gray like a megaminx. With red, blue, and yellow orbiting white, and orange, green, and purple orbiting grey. Red and blue opposite orange and green like in normal nxn puzzles, and yellow opposite purple.

Amazing review!!
Hopefully this is a sign of more to come.

Excellent review. Very thorough, and I appreciate the deep-dive on cylindrical/spherical/conical mechanisms. Quite interesting!
can't wait to finally get into this puzzle (and potentially its higher order versions, I've been enjoying the 5x5 Pentahedron from ShengShou that I got this month a lot!)
Yeah the 5x5 pentahedron is a lot of fun! I hope they'll release higher order versions in the future.
It seems that Dayan are also planning to release one sooner or later, but I'm definitely getting this one for the collection!
They've said it'll come out in November. I'm definitely getting both of them.

Fantastic FTO review! Great work. So happy to finally see the puzzle modernized. #FTOforWCA

Man I love seeing someone so skilled at a nonWCA puzzle
I'm waiting for the Magnetic Kilominx
I tried one today and it's really good
0:53 "hopefully people wont be using that"
Me: learns with the pamphlet
Finally I've been waiting for this forever
Great review Ben! #FTOforWCA
Ive been waiting for this.
So cool, now I must only wait #FTOforWCA
I'm still so excited to get this!!!
Also, amazing review man!

Also, will you cover the release of the DaYan FTO once it comes to market?
Yep, that's the plan. Now that the QiYi FTO has also released, I'll be doing a comparison video for all the available FTOs.
I also ordered one, and hopefully I can learn it by the help of your videos 😅
Think core magnets would help?
I am so excited for this puzzle thanks diansheng. #FTOforWCA
See you at RMC!
#FTOforWCA bc everyone else is commenting it
#FTOforWCA !
Why does it have a different colour scheme to the Lanlan
Diansheng's old FTO from years ago used this color scheme, and they happened to reuse it for their new one. Green is opposite blue and red is opposite orange to match standard 3x3 color schemes, which I think is a nice change over the Lanlan.
Ben, I absolutely need you to answer this question… Should I get the FTO?
#FTOforWCA
Exciting!!!
why did you have to set it as premiere 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Getting the engagement and the hype up
#FTOforWCA (i want it as an event soooo bad)

Gear cube needs more
Love
HYPE
Very nice puzzle 👍👍🔥👍👍
chat is this aura
total aura
Idk why grey was chosen, IMO pink would have been better
Grey for tradition and consistency I guess, the old FTOs had grey.
Imho, they should've had white opposite gray like a megaminx. With red, blue, and yellow orbiting white, and orange, green, and purple orbiting grey.
Red and blue opposite orange and green like in normal nxn puzzles, and yellow opposite purple.
@@ZonalJump97 makes sense, but man does it not fit with the other colours
