Go to around 20 minutes to see multiplay.
This game will feature online player versus player battles.


Def buying this now. No doubt.

That Sephiroth summon though. :o

They all seem excited to present it. Wonder what they're saying? Also...I wonder if George Newbern will return to voice him? He had said on Twitter that he would love to, but he also said hasn't heard anything yet.

haha, This game looks so cute.

Did you guys hear that nice jazz version of Tifa's theme during the presentation? I like it.

Mena actually sucks me right out of the experience and makes it worse.

I found her particularly jarring in KH2. One of her first lines is something like 'This is great; we're all together again' and it sounds almost hilariously flat and lifeless - Aerith is anything but! At least up until certain unfortunate events of the plot :lol:

Are Japanese women really as violent as these anime and game girls?

Looking at the first snippet they compared, the Vita side felt clearer and sharper to me. But the more I looked, the more it felt that they purposefully stylised it to have a nice warm feeling on PS4 in a way the Vita probably won't allow.

The Vita version has less lighting effects, no bloom, and it doesn't have the blur filter they use to create a bigger sense of depth (things close to the screen are in focus and crisp, with the things in the background are blurred). Of course, the resolution is smaller too. That's about it though.

Anyone have any more demo impressions? I don't have the time to download and play it right now, but I'm probably going to pick up the game next week when it releases.

Gonna have to take some time to try out the demo. But with XV and Pokemon out really soon, I just don't have time for this right now, and it's not exactly grabbing me as a must by at the moment.

Just played the demo. It is undeniably cute, seriously impressive number of past FF characters too. And everyone that has had a voice in the past has a their same one which is kinda surprising. When you get to the final boss, open the chests around him for little mini trailers showcasing FF characters, Summons, monsters, etc.

It took me about half the demo to figure out this stacking thing, it wasn't making sense to me at first, but I get it now. Each type of monster has a L, M, or H label and that's the only place in a stack they can reside. Your characters can only be on the bottom in their full-size forms, but in their chibi forms they can be in M to ride on L monsters like a Behemoth. You can switch between chibi and full form for each cahracter independently at any time on the map, and you set up your stacks for each character and each form.

Catching monsters is VERY pokemon. Most monsters you just have to weaken before you can "Imprism" them, but others have special requirements. To catch a moogle you have to cast cure on it, others you have to hit a weakness, etc. Each monster has it's own little ability tree that you can unlock nodes on in the menu, each monster earns experience independently.

The battle menu is a bit interesting, you can set up four shortcuts to be mapped to a face button, or you can press L1 to bring up your classic menu with your full list. I didn't realize you could customize the other menu until right near the end of the demo.

Anyway, I can definitely see the customizability options with the monsters...even though the stacks still look awfully goofy. (Certain moves also can throw you off balance and topple your stack, stunning you for a turn, and you can do it against enemy stacks as well.) But I'm fairly sure I'll enjoy this game :monster:

I've been watching a playthrough. It is very cute. Kind of what I wanted out of Ni No Kuni. Im not a huge fan of the cheesy humour tbh. I cant figure out if its a translation thing, since it's a lot of puns. I'm guessing they had to kind of tweek things to make puns work.

The bestiary entries in this game are phenomenal. Whoever localized these needs a raise:

"Technically, it has one tail and eight butt-swords, but let's not nitpick"

the entry for Omega kills me. its all genius

For the record this is reviewing very well, have any of you guys started playing it properly yet? I have it pre-ordered but it's not released in the UK until the 28th, so I have to wait until Friday. I mean obviously you should all be physically holding your copies right now. Right?

omg I love those bestiary entries. hahaha <3

Also, I'm glad there's confirmation that Valefor is female. I always see people refer to Valefor as a guy despite the fact that the fayth of Valefor is a woman. :closedmonster:
