People I know personally who played the demo (it was a really wide closed play test anyone that could help them market it was given access) have said this will be a bit like bg3. Not in gameplay but it’s going to come out of no where and be a major goty type thing.

From what they have told me, and I trust them, the main story is estimated at 30 hours on normal difficulty, 60 hours to do all stuff.

I have been told the review embargo lifts 72 hours prior to release so there are definitely content creators right now who likely have beaten it already. I just dont know any of them because the full game was given to a much much smaller pool

Also the apparent reason the demo build isnt being made public is the same reason the closed play testers had to play under an NDA barring a specific mention of one single thing, this is presumably something big and story related meant to shake things up bigly and plant the hooks sometime a few hours into the game. I dont know what that is, as I said the play testers are under NDA


Didn't think I could be any more hyped for this game, but here I am

This game looks/sounds awesome.

Love when something like this flies under the radar until closer to release

The only potential issues I have seen brought up really fall into 2 things

1. Performance: Apparently for some people it had some issues on pc, but it was a demo build not the final build and didnt include any of the pc options thatll be in the game at launch. It turns out it will be actually very important this game be at least 60 fps. I have been told the dodge jump and parry inputs can be particular and they are necessary in every fight

2. I could MAYBE seeing some people drawing some ff13 similarities and call it a "hallway simulator" as most of the areas you appear to zone into tend to be very linear with slight off paths, some light puzzles, etc. I dont think this will be an issue though. it has the world map and apparently the zones themselves are stunning and have amazing environmental storytelling, one example about that I was told was finding about the previous 32 expenditions .

It is 10% off if you preorder and it already retails for only 49.99. Their reason for doing this they said was to get it in as many peoples hands as possible. They seem to be making all the right decisions and are very confident itll deliver

Day one release in GamePass. Pretty crazy for a game that looks this good. Between this and Oblivion, I’m going to be busy for a while.

Everything about this game looks so good. Going to be very disappointed if it doesn't deliver.

100%

Last game I got hyped up for was Calisto Protocol and that game was horrible.

Don’t want to get burned again.

I don’t remember who said it but I also love when games like this come out of no where. Much like stellar blade did for me.

I just watched the trailers for the first time a couple days ago and I have already preordered it.

Did not see one thing I disliked in any trailer I have watched so far. Looks like what I wanted FF16 to be by the end of it.

The soundtrack and voice acting serm top tier. The visuals amazing and…..a fricking story that’s original and interesting….thank God.

And I don’t have to wait but a few more days.

In case anyone is wondering they have the game synced to unlock globally at the same time, not by time zone. This will be Wed night Thursday morning at 3 am EST or 2 am CST.

Im going to try to jump in at 3 am right when it opens I dont want any spoi boys ruining the story for me.


Also for anyone who cares about stuff like this, from what I have been told the game has 55 achievements and 53 trophies not including the platinum. I was pretty surprised by that number being so high.

Reviews should start flowing tomorrow. Beware of spoilers, they are out there at least for the early to mid game. I have seen and know enough that I am satisfied this game will be great. See you guys on the 24th.
