I’ll tell you when the game has been spoiled for me. Because the release date will be announced within days after.

So to people that have played it, how is it? Like compared to previous FF?
Ostrakon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Oh boy is that a loaded question.
As someone who has played every game in the series, the trend has been to make them less like RPGs and more like action games. Gameplay wise, this was far and away the best action-y one and had a decent enough story. Anything compared to 15 would have looked like a masterpiece, lol.
I vastly prefer the more traditional RPGs overall though. 16 was a pleasant surprise since I came in with a bit of a bias against the shift towards action games, and really only gave it a shot because the director has earned a lot of credit with his handling of 14 (the MMO)

FWIW, this is pretty close to how I feel about it. Compared to XV, this game is a masterpiece.
I’d add that the ability recharges make the later combat feel a little bit more ATB-like (to me at least), when you’re relying more on those abilities than standard attacks.
Also, I personally think it’s the most (or second most) well-told game of the franchise. They do a phenomenal job of setting up different situations with maximum impact. The sad and hopeless feels sad and hopeless, the enraging feels enraging, and the grandiose feels ABSOLUTELY GRANDIOSE.

Very different from previous FF’s. You only control one character. Combat is very fun, and you can definitely style on your foes with sick combos. Sometimes basic enemies die to quickly. I enjoyed the story for the most part. I love the characters and the world building is great. The side quests are unfortunately one of the weaker points, which is sad because they make up a ton of the content. Great music and visuals. Weapon upgrade system is pretty basic (number go up). Overall a great game IMO, but I don’t think it holds a candle to FF7 REBIRTH.

Is this Linux compatible?

No issues on my playthrough of it this morning. It will complain about your GPU driver on launch, but then proceed to launch anyways after you acknowledge the message.

don’t works great on GNU/Linux yet even with a 3080 (very unstable framerate even with low settings). Hope proton will be fixed soon by Valve so this game run like FF7 remake.

Thank fucking Christ it’s not epic exclusive.

Epic isn’t making money on exclusives. Square Enix isn’t making money on exclusives. Sony probably isn’t even making money on third party exclusives. Thankfully, market forces have ensured that it was never going to be exclusive.
