They aren't summons in this game <_<. Like they kind of beat us over the head with it that these are the main characters.

I get it, I'm talking more like the framing of the trailer. It wants me to care about these huge graphics but I'm far more interested in the people.

looks like you switch stances using L2, and each face button is mapped to an action. items are used using the directional pad.

like I said in the other thread, I fear it'll be too actiony. even if it's well done it's just not really what I'm looking for anymore.

I'm very excited to see the human counterparts to all these summons.

I'm assuming the huge dude is almost certainly the Titan icon.

This, but I thought the summons were one of the best things in XV. Some of them do look really similar though, I did a double take on Titan!

The world still looks like a fairly standard western european medieval fantasy to me, which isn't what I come to FF for, but I'm intrigued by how it will play. Especially with the characters=summons thing. The dialogue is pretty generic, but everybody raves about XIV's story so I'll take their word for it on that front!

The world vibe gives me FFXII feelings. Not what I want
The combat gives me XV-SOP actiony feelings Not what I want

If the characters are super grimdark or has surprising dark moments (FF9), I'll be ok with it. That or they finally found a good mix of action mechanics. FF struggled at these things for a while. They are definitely veering into slick action shit. I hope the combat is so freaking good, it kind of makes up for a less than interesting setting. "Hooray, a war in a medieval fantasy setting!" Yawn.

A lot of obvious thematic overlap with FFXIV here (as well as a couple other FF games) where the summons are obvious stand-ins for massively destructive tools of war. The angle looks slightly different - this time they're tied to specific characters and so the relationships have changed. I'm on board!

After FF7R and playing an obscene amount of Yakuza, I am no longer skeptical of Final Fantasy as an action game. Bring it on.

Well if he's the main character then he still is technically the starter summon >_>

All the XV summons are here I think apart from Leviathan, even Garuda from the DLC. I hope they throw some more obscure ones in too!

there's even a semi-nude scene in this trailer! Mainline FF might finally embrace the edge.

Well he's not writing. The person credited as Screenwriter, Kazutoyo Maehiro, was the main scenario writer for A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. Heavensward I would not describe as "grimdark" but it is taking cues from dark fantasy like Game of Thrones. Edgy stuff still happens, such as: a dragoon character who is a stereotypical edgelord (affectionately) kills a dragon halfway through the storyline and spends the rest of the plot literally stained red by its blood. FF16 looks like it is leaning into that a bit more.

What Koji-Fox being here means is that this will happen, and then five minutes later you will get a quest named after a Simpsons reference or a meme from a decade ago. Or he will warp the lore itself so that he can make a joke about a god's testicles.

That's fine. That's more in line with FF9. Goofy, but has higher/darker stakes than it looks like.

Yeah it's not really that weird when you think of what magitek is actually doing in Final Fantasy games. More often than not, it is either a lost civilization thing or being used by the antagonists for corruption and war. There's some notable exceptions (X inverts it - the antagonists cement rule by restricting technology) but here they're just setting up the "war is bad" motif as...war. Also wow cool summons.

Well change that

It's basically a solo game that just happens to be online for the main story at this point anyway and they are actively making it more solo-able as time goes on for people that don't 'want an MMO' like you.

Don't miss the best Final Fantasy just because of a bias you have.

There's even a free trial that includes the first expansion so you don't even have to pay a sub fee to get two games worth of stuff. I'm not sure if Heavensward is soloable yet, but the base game is.

And hey, better a free trial now than FF16 which seems to be shaping up to be a paid trial for 14!

Well Final Fantasy XIV is most people's favorite final fantasy once they play it, including mine, so it is hard to not try to suggest it to final fantasy fans. I don't even play it like I would an MMO - just strap on for the story and then unsub until I want more story (which its cool because YoshiP supports this way of playing and says it makes sense) and it is just beautiful and awe inspiring. It is natural for other fans of the series to want to experience the best the series has to offer.

I mean it goes beyond "we like both games." They are being made by the same team within the company. Same director, same composer, (one of) the same writers, same localizer. I'm sure there is more staff overlap as well.

This is essentially like if you were getting excited for Sekiro and getting annoyed people bringing up how good Dark Souls is.

Probably because we all know a lot of people who say "I don't like MMOs but then I played this and loved it."

Games being defined by genre is so 2002. Take the suggestion, don't take the suggestion, it won't effect me any!
