Aren't you the guy that put 36 hours into FF7R the first day? Now that game was trash

He just hates fantasy settings because the medieval period took place on his continent.
Ugh. More awful button mashing single person party combat? That's just a shame.

Can always do the FFT raid series in FFXIV to temporarily ease your pain lol
Back to the thread, I haven’t seen any confirmation you only play as 1 person only in combat. The trailer only showed that, but I would reserve judgement until something more official comes out from a gameplay perspective. We didn’t even see UI elements.
And ya, it’s def coming to PC. Anyone recall the release gap for 15?

While the IQ of the graphics didn't blow me away and they did look a bit dated, it did have the same art style of XII and that whole Final Fantasy Tactics setting, which is a good thing to me. Personally I am just not a fan of the quasi sci fi/modern setting that most of them have had since VI. IX's was way too over the top chibi to me. But I loved the aesthetic of XII and Tactics, and this seems to have it in spades.
With that said the battle system looked pretty cool, but I can't help but miss the final fantasy of old with parties and actual control over your party members. FFVIIr seemed to hit that better, and this one does appear to say "fuck it, it's too hard" and go for just a single protag. This is square so this thing is probably 4 years and 2 directors away from release still, so no need to really take too close of a look at it.

No, because that's physically impossible. My first playthrough was 36 hours.
FF7R had great combat and was amazing when it was stuff from FF7, especially the music.
It lacked the gritty Cyberpunk aesthetic of the original, it was too bright in the slums and everyone was wearing earth tones instead of punk fashion. It lost it's charm.
The side quests were MMO style dogshit and here is FF16 produced by the guy who made the FF14 MMO. I hope you like long and mandatory fetch quests.
That's a good point. The setting just isn't special to me. That said, medieval FF games all had something extra.
FF9 had a discovery vibe exploring lost continents.
FF5 had multiple planets.
FF6 was steampunk reinessance.
FFT had hidden demons suddenly appearing to wreck your shit.
FF16 has reused assets. Amazing.

Man, I came here because for the first time in forever this looked like an actual fantasy setting. I haven’t touched a FF since 9. I have 14 (or whichever is the Zodiac Age...13?) to play on PS4 but haven’t gotten around to it.
three pages and now I fucking hate this game. Thanks guys.

Zodiac Age is 12, isn't it? FF13 is the Lightning one. 14 is the MMO.
And ignore the shit in this thread. We literally know nothing about game mechanics beyond it being action oriented. People see a trailer with no UI elements and are like "omg, FF game with only 1 person!!". Wait for the inevitable Famitsu article that goes into actual game mechanics before making judgement on gameplay style. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being a hybrid system like FF7R, since that was well received.
