The NailBat?! 🤣 that's awesome. Square even going the extra mile to render character weapons like in the original game. Can't wait to see Barret's different gun arms and Yuffie's crazy fans.
Barrett actually has a lot of melee weapons and stuff could have interesting properties like that multi rocket launcher. 🤔

Do we know Red XIII's English VA yet? The popular theory is that it's Matthew Mercer, but that has yet to be confirmed.

I think we've only heard one English line out of him so far and it did not sound like Matt to me.

I guess it's my fault for expecting an actual quest design in a 2020 game and not the same 20 years old fetch quests.

To be fair, outside of the Witcher almost no modern RPGs have good sidequest design.

I like how there is no mention of this game being part 1 in any promotional material....

Strange..

Looks awesome. A little disappointed that the side quests seem to be pretty mundane tasks, but I'm not surprised. I don't really expect WRPG quest writing out of this.

Those aren't fetch quest milestones - they're challenges for defeating enemies certain ways.

Rough google translate: "Battle reports are achieved by meeting certain conditions in battles, such as "Miyaburu" the enemy with "Miyabururu" or burst the enemy multiple times."

The kid is asking Cloud to try out Materia because he's apparently a Shinra trainee

As for other quests, there's this:

" There are various types of requests, such as requests for defeat of monsters and sometimes requests to find lost cats "
The same kid from the original game? awesome! Always love how they teach you gameplay through conversation like that. Iirc you can choose not to answer him as well, which equal to skipping tutorial.

They're really not dropping that demo at all are they?

Fetch quests, fetch quests everywhere.

Not that I expected anything better from a JRPG, or Japanese games in general.

So sick of this lazy, stereotypical posting. For all the uproar about Phil Fish years ago, we sure do let people show their whole ass here with regard to generalizing an entire countries output all the time. FOH.

I dunno why it's suddenly a bad thing to have a game want you to engage with the mechanics in some sidequests. Even in the examples shown it's not just "kill X monsters", it's "kill X monsters with X materia".

I agree it's nice to have full, story-driven quests, but it's not a bad thing for a game to also have quests where you seek out monsters etc. Hell, an entire plot point in FFVII is that the slums are a dangerous place to live - of course they'd hire people to keep the monster population in check.

Not only that but the kid in that screenshot has a backstory and a unique voice actor listed, he ain't just a random bystander.

Just seems like a very bizarre thing to be hung up on IMO

For those that don't mind stuff from the leaks, the stuff with the Chadley kid is basically;

A VR battle arena of sorts where you can fight monsters to gain stuff. You can get some of the bigger summons like Leviathan from it after fighting them.

Don't some quests send you on your way to fight and gain summons? Wasn't that announced on the PS blog a while back? At least that's something that's not "collect five wild flowers."

I don't like that we're gonna be helping out a kid who works for Hojo, but ehh, excited to see side quests! Hopefully they won't be as boring as most of the ones in FFXV.

Really excited to play as Tifa! I love playing as hand-to-hand combatants and her gameplay sounds like a lot of fun!

And that's partly how they're padding out what was originally 6-10 hours to 20-40: Sidequests galore!
