I’M DYING

I’m playing through the demo. Looks very pretty, lots of proper nouns. Combat felt like the new god of war games: mash attack button until it’s time to press the dodge button, then repeat. There’s even an ability tree to spend your ability points on moves that look boring and I’m not given any incentive to do anything other than “mash square until it’s time to dodge”.

I’m gonna finish the demo in hopes of seeing something interesting, but I’m not that impressed so far.

giogadi After the first chunk of the demo you unlock a sort of second mini demo that focuses more on the combat. They introduce some cool systems, give you some fun toys to play with that interact with each other in fun ways. That first bit definitely has the usual early JRPG situation where you have so few options at the start of the game that the optimal strategy is very, very simple though.

this game looks awesome. I will play it. but I should probably not buy a PS5 just to play it, nor am I probably even ready to play it if I were able to.
But it seems like there’s a lot of awesome stuff.
Hopefully I won’t be spoiled by youtube thumbnails constantly.

treefroggy physical copies are already showing up places so time to be vigilant 🫡

NoJoTo

sabertoothalex wait it’s already finished? i thought for some reason the demo was just a preview for something still in development

sabertoothalex

NoJoTo Full game is out next week haha

giogadi

TheFragranceOfDarkCoffee That’s right! I’m looking forward to trying out that 2nd demo tonight.

Picked up my copy but am feeling weirdly nervous about starting it. I get this feeling whenever I feel like I reallllllly want to like a new game but there’s some nagging feeling telling me that I won’t.

treefroggy

sabertoothalex that’s your backlog talking

Tradeghouls 'n ghosts

I can’t believe the day is finally here. I got a notification that it’s waiting for me at home. It’s Clive o’clock somewhere. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since Versus XIII came out, and I legitimately have no idea what to expect from this one. After playing like ¾ of the way through FFV, which is such a joyous and smooth turn-based adventure, I hope I don’t get whiplash getting into a more tonally-serious action game. I sure hope there wasn’t a Kingsglaive-esque feature length film I needed to watch for the story beforehand!!!

I hope it takes place in the Fabula Nova Crystallis universe!

I played an hour or so past the point where the demo left off earlier today. It’s really beautiful and is reminding me more and more of FFXII as far as tone and the setting/environments. I’m liking it more than I thought I would! I didn’t want to put it down to get ready for work.
