I have only played 1 hour post demo so immediate thoughts, no actual story spoilers

Spoiler

The sidequests feel like they just copied the MMO approach of fetch quests. I have this sinking feeling that they will take the classic FF14 formula (since same dev team) of super hype story moments then hours of feeding carrots to rabbits then hype story moment again.

Down to 87 on MC because of the new reviews.

Am I the only one who feels like 

 

Spoiler

Clive not being "dominant" in terms of magical powers and thus disowned is an allegory to parents who refuse to accept you are gay and thus disown you?

 

It really feels to me like dominant = straight and the insane obsession with this that causes the destruction of the world = homophobic FUCKS trying to further the destruction of our world. 

Because it feels... oddly personal :cries:

Ben Starr (voice & actor of Clive) did an interview. His passion :cries:

“I want that to be the thing that people take away,” Starr says. “It’s okay to not be okay. It's okay to cry, be sad, and say how you feel. There is so much of my dad in this performance. This is why I want to get out in front of this game – I'm really proud of this character.” :cries::cries:

Just saw this on my doorstep :jonny5:

Posted (edited)

I didn't play the demo and watched very little gameplay before as I wanted to go in knowing as little as possible... 

 

that being said I've played the opening and I'm back in the present day and I'm already flawed but how good this is so far :jonnycat:

After 7 more hours - they snapped. The cutscenes are just heavenly.

Are the demo and full game separate on y’all’s PSN playtime? It kinda annoys me :biblionny:

Yeah I don’t like that.

The game is gorgeous. I need VRR 40fps and the removal of motion blur though. :biblionny:

Wish I had a PS5 to play :monkey: I'll try my best to not watch any playthroughs for the next few months till I might be able to snatch one up :rip:

They really got in their Game of Thrussy. Clive is giving Jon Snow.

She’s so bad. I keep forgetting she’s there and she has no personality that doesn’t revolve around Clive. :rip:

They should have went all the way and make Clive gay tbh. 

 

Jill is seriously the weakest link here, it feels like she was an afterthought!

Jill Swift's time is coming I just know it :clap3:

 

I hated Benedikta from the trailers but she really ate in the end. ***** Power :clap3:

Played for a good 3 hours so far taking my time reading all the lore and just inhaling the game and its scenery. At the moment it feels quite guided in terms of its “exploration” aspect. I hope that develops a bit more so there’s more freedom in terms of choices.

However, what I truly appreciate is the levelling scaling of the boss-ish fights. I already died once and I love it. Makes me reassess my strategy (I play without any of the helpful and assisting items). I personally hate games that feel too easy.

Can’t wait to see how the game develops

The voice actor of him gives me gay vibes. He’s cute too.
