I just realized it was up this morning, and I’m genuinely blown away. I was definitely feeling a little disappointed through most of the trailers (and also the Creative Business Unit III nonsense heh). They were feeling super generic, and a little hackneyed.
30-40 minutes in and holy crap. The english voice acting is amazing (though my friends pointed out, is it really a final fantasy game if the VA isn’t super cringe?), and they seemed to have put a LOT more effort in the mocap for lip syncing the english voice overs as well. It looks amazing, but that’s to be expected. And honestly I hadn’t been following the development much so I didn’t know this beforehand, but my immediate thought was how much like early Game of Thrones the cast of characters and setting was starting to feel like.
Anybody else have a chance to take a look, or care heh?
I’m not very impressed with performance on PS5. I also have a few concerns about gameplay mechanics. There is no excuse for a game to leave out customizable controls either. That being said, I will be picking up the full version on release. :) I think I’m looking forward to VII part 2 more than XVI though.
