Uhh if anyone does crystal tower they're gonna be shocked by the state of that character lol. Showing the Exarch's face at all is a huge spoiler.I don't think this is a huge spoiler at all. maybe a tease, but nothing can be sussed out from this screenshot. But i will because reasons i guess.
Didn't Witcher 3 sold like 30M copies? Not sure FF will ever get close to that, considering Japan moved away from Console/PC gaming.Misc thoughts...
- First time a FF game has looked a bit under par in a key area (faces) for me. But that is a major major nitpick from me and I actually don't care. I'm just so used to being so entranced by FF games, like they always push things to the limit (have blown me away since I can remember watching FFVII as a kid)...... But this could be cross-gen, so fair enough.
- I'm pretty sure Square Enix is done with the FF creatives screwing around after forcing Nomura off FFXV. They havent really delayed games all that much since. I mean this is a legacy games publisher in a media saturated age(they better get in on shit) and the lead-up to XV may have lost momentum for the franchise (even though it still sold very well, FF should be as big a seller as Witcher by now). So I actually really wasn't surprised they showed off gameplay already. If Ubi can release an Ass Creed game every 1.5 years, Final Fantasy can (and should) get a new major FF game at least every 2.5 to 3 years if they are a half decently run organization.
Well ... actually no, dunno about Ubisoft being decently run either :p
lol literally revealing the exarch's identity when during 90% of shadowbringers all they do is talk about the mystery surrounding who or what the exarch is... but go ahead and be petty about it.I don't think this is a huge spoiler at all. maybe a tease, but nothing can be sussed out from this screenshot.

Exactly, this. Is this finally when SE drops the fidelity/graphic fetish and just bangs out an amazing FF game in a timely manner? I sure hope soBUT! With Naoki Yoshida involved there is a good chance the story will be good, and I would take a new mainline FF that focuses on story over graphics any time.

Not exactly like FF XIV... But I can see the type of faces you can create in FF XIV being like the ones in XVI. Obviously with the benefits of more powerful hardware.
This is what ffxiv looks like at maximum settings. you have no idea what you're talking about
tf outta here with that shit, if anything the FF16 reveal is gonna get people to jump into or get back into ff14. they should get to experience the story without having parts of it spoiled in a thread from a diferrent game. there's a reason we have spoiler tags in this forumShB came out 1 year ago. Stop harassing this person with your spoilerophobia.
Huh? IV, V, VI all had slightly covered words.Is this the first time that the word "FINAL FANTASY" has been slightly covered? Just a tad jarring but I love the art.
I do agree that SE dropping the fidelity/graphic fetish is good, but that should have no bearing on an actual interesting art style. So I hope we get more visually striking areas as that doesn't require pushing cutting edge graphics at all, just a talented art team with a great visionExactly, this.

"I will kill you... if it's the last thing I do".
Maybe he's talking about Ifrit-possessed Joshua 🤔. If he MC has to kill him or at least fight him, I guess you have your emotional impact there.
Joshua's actually the kid!
The timeskip design change makes me think we won't get any customization/creation. I guess they could have an algorithm that changes the character you create when they're young, but that's too much work and it wouldn't look as drastic of a change as the one we've already seen.
The name thing... I don't know. Like with the creation, I hope he's established and not customizable. But I could see some return to the I-X tradition of us naming characters and calling him by either the surname (à la Mass Effect) or by his title/occupation (he's introduced as Joshua's Shield).
You have a tiny bit of that in these:Is this the first time that the word "FINAL FANTASY" has been slightly covered? Just a tad jarring but I love the art.
The very first Amano logo (FFIV) did it, and then FFV, etc. It was actually FFVII that broke the trend.
Kind of reminded me of the opening to Kingsglaive and the art style looks like a Japanese dev trying to make Witcher 4. Was hoping for something brighter and more fantastic akin to a next-gen FF9.
That said, who knows how much will be revealed over the next...couple years? Seems that was just a tiny slice of the game.
I have full faith that they will be able to deliver that. Especially when Yoshi P saying that what we saw was just a super tiny part of what the team has accomplished so far.I do agree that SE dropping the fidelity/graphic fetish is good, but that should have no bearing on an actual interesting art style.
