First one I specifically remember playing was Strider for the Mega Drive, Golden Axe II and Sonic 1 around the same time as well. Great days.

Was saying this to friends, I'm not really sure exactly how to describe or pinpoint this but you can kind of tell that it's based in part on FFXIV tech by the way NPCs emote. Mostly in their facial expressions, particularly when they smile; it just screams XIV to me any time it happens. Game's...

Got my copy today. I don't mean to sound like a console zealot or anything, but if Sony pumping money into SE results in more games on the level of 16, then I'm all for it. The presentation and polish in this game is absolutely unparalleled, and I hope that the Rebirth team are taking at least...

Just got an ad for it on YouTube, a welcome change from getting Honkai Star Rail and Nikke shoved in my face constantly.

Allegedly the only reason it wasn't a perfect 40 is one of the reviewers would have preferred it to be turn based rather than action gameplay. Not sure how true that is but amusing regardless. A lot of the scuttlebutt going around seems to be VERY positive. Wouldn't be surprised at a 90+...

Soon, meaning "over a year later"...

I noticed the Wishlist page on PSN for the game is using what looks like a higher quality version of the Sephiroth and Cloud screenshot they released last year, or at least it is when you open it on PS5. Wish they'd be more consistent.

Been said before, but the trailers being in 1080p and bitcrushed to absolute buggery is physically painful.

The plating on her armguard feels like a tribute to Sonon's shoulder armour to me: As for the belts and removal of her fishnet, that's up for debate. Potentially the same reason Tifa's Nibel outfit has been changed? I don't particularly mind either case but it would make some sense.

Worth noting that until recently there was a major scalping problem with PS5s in Japan, so a lot of the actual install base will actually be for consoles being resold in China. That being said, hopefully XVI itself will help boost actual domestic sales.

There's quite a bit of positive word of mouth spreading around purely as a result of the demo, at least from what I've seen. I know personally of two people who were on the fence about the game that immediately pre-ordered after playing it, and one of them is usually a bit of a stick in the mud...

Yeah even on graphics mode with the 30fps cap it struggled during that part, but the presentation in every other aspect is so slick that I was relatively forgiving of it. My mind might change if it persistently affects gameplay later on, though.

Played on graphics mode, very impressive stuff overall. Despite some abilities being straight from DMC5, I think I understand where some previews saying it doesn't really play like a DMC game are coming from now; boss fights in particular feel more methodical which I'm all for. I don't know if...

Prologue with save carry-over and a combat preview is very generous, here's hoping future SE games follow that example too.

TGS is September 21st to 24th this year, and Google Play has the estimated release as September 30th. Definitely lines up.

At 2:29 in the English trailer, just at the beginning of the Yuffie & Red sequence, a voice can be heard saying "on my way". You'd think it'd be either Red or Yuffie, given that they're performing a dual tech and the previous sequence has Aerith calling Tifa's name, establishing that we'll get...

Great trailer, made all the better for shutting down the "Square won't market two FFs at the same time" doomposting. Wish we'd seen a bit more varied environments and at least one of Cait/Cid/Vincent but they'll probably have a story-focused trailer at TGS for that. Still kind of can't believe...

I put myself on the interest list for the Solar Sephiroth, they're using glass for the eyes, painted clear resin for the mako and metal for the masamune. Couldn't help myself.

Solar Studio are doing a Remake Cloud vs Sephiroth set too, similar to the FanArt release it's two separate statues that can be displayed either individually or as a diorama. Looks damn impressive from the renders so far.

For sure, I actually put an order down for this one and will probably get Tifa as well. Using Remake Cloud's head as a base rather than trying to make it movie accurate has worked quite well in their favour here.
