The community feedback has been rather vocal. Ironically.

Gorgeous and dripping with that colorful, feet-on-the-ground energy the competition somehow keeps fumbling. And... are we about to witness the whole SOP casually strolling out the door a full two weeks early?

"Hey, I know we were supposed to meet today after lunch but I need to pick up some groceries so see you next January."

Saros is anything but average. Incredibly polished on every level and with a crunchy, satisfying gameplay. Best game I played all year.

If they offer a hefty discount on Yotei, I might cave (willing to spend around 40-45€)

Ok, I am downloading this demo and giving it a go later tonight as I definitely agree with the dialogue soup thesis: I feel only OT2 does better in that regard.

Wow, that is a lot of content! And a really good way to unlock outfit 2

@Gbarsotini That was the actual reason they moved FFVII to Sony's hardware.

@ShogunRok What do you mean, you didn't love "Infinity strash"? That was truly inspired. The word "Strash" in particular — which sounds like what happens when you combine a struggle with a crash — really captures the essence of, well, something. I'm sure.

Dear Square Enix employee who has just been ambushed by this long comment while innocently scrolling — hello, and congratulations on your taste in employers (and websites!).

As a devoted fan of your work spanning decades, I come bearing an unsolicited business proposal: hire a naming consultant. A good one. Maybe two.

I say this with love, but "Triangle Strategy" is not a name — it's a geometry homework assignment. "Octopath Traveler" sounds like a GPS or dating app for octopuses. And whatever this game is called, I had to check three times and I'm sure I am forgetting it right know as I'm typing.

Your games are gorgeous, epic, and emotionally devastating in the best ways. They deserve names people can say out loud without feeling like they're failing a pop quiz.

And while we're here — a gentle word about your studio names. "Business Unit 1." The intensity. Somewhere out there, a poet is crying. Even "Tokyo RPG Factory" sounds like a place where dreams are manufactured on a conveyor belt by people in hard hats. I believe you can do better. I believe in you.

I am not available. I have a life, commitments, and a perfectly good job, thank you very much. But if you can match my current salary — and perhaps throw in a modest relocation package and early access to your next title — I could be persuaded to become suddenly, surprisingly available.

Ball's in your court. My thesaurus is standing by. And I promise — pinky promise — that I will never let a shape, a colon or a slash near a title again.

Have your people call my people. (It's just me. Please call me.)

I can relate to their sentiment as, right now, the series S/X is really lacking a reason to justify the purchase.

That said, I don’t feel like Xbox products (except ES) have a huge appeal, at least not on the level of some Sony and Nintendo IPs and they are perfect as multiplatform titles so I don’t see the strategy changing too much.

Like @Nem said, the cool thing about this is it gives you an idea of what a proper 3D FFVI remake would look like - and how incredible it would be to play FF6 on that scale with some proper artistic direction and real artistry behind it.

Leave Sakaguchi be, kids!

Definitely on my radar, providing it translates well to traditional play. Quill is so cute.

He sure seems really invested in this work! He did a great work and made the character both relatable and faulted. Because of this he ended up feeling more like a real person and less like an archetype or narrative function.

Trails in the sky HD deluxe for 50 dollars is a very good deal, go for it guys.

I preordered and platinumed the game and, for me, this is exactly the kind of experience I want on PS. And one of the best games on the platform -it’s not for everyone but I think it will find its audience eventually

Idk, it could be cool to have some fights sprinkled in but do you remember P4 Arena Ultimax? You could read for 1 hour between fights and it was just bizarre

I plan to ignore them both and play Phantom Blade 😎

PlayStation has always been about third party content, and it just happens that so am I. I will definitely buy a console to play the latest Final Fantasy or Street Fighter not for God of war (or Zelda, for that matter).

That said, I am satisfied with Ps5 first party offering. It has slowed down but the beginning was just extremely dense and varied. In comparison, if you think about it, Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch period looks rather scarce, especially since Nintendo consoles have been much more first party focused for a long while. The third party ports provided by the Switch 2 capabilities have been a savior up until now, though I have no doubts that big games will come.

My heart skipped a beat seeing the JET SET RADIO image and reading "canceled", it's really a game I am insanely looking forward to.

The gameplay is better in every conceivable way and that’s what really counts. You can really make the game yours.

I did not find the story/mistery quite as gripping and it is maybe a little less conceptual but I do appreciate the efforts to make Saros more story driven, though some stuctural elements are not very effective.

I too wonder what Housemarque will do next

@IOI Idk I prefer the emergent narrative of Saros and I was expecting the psychological angle but it still went somewhere else - Pragmata’s story is sweet but kind of predictable form the beginning and told in a very conventional way. I don’t think either story is exceptional but Saros makes more of an impact

Currently playing Pragmata after finishing Saros…both great games. They kind of intertwine on some level as they feature two very different kind of AI as a character.
That said, saros is undoubtedly the best of the two for me: better gameplay, better story, better sound and visuals.

I liked Yuffie’s adventure in Integrade, if we can get something like that for Vincent or Zack, I wouldn’t mind at all.

I can’t wait for this! To my surprise I already finished Saros, so I will get to this day 1.

It’s been on sale for just 2 days! Anyway the game is really good, one of the best experiences I had on PS5 - heartily recommend!

A man of taste: Vita was beautiful.

I don’t have any opinion on this game yet but I think Guerrilla Games has earned the benefit of trust.

The level of gaslighting, prejudice and fanboysm …

Saros is a blast of a game, don’t let Alt Right Joe and Fanboy Jill ruin it for you.

40 times? FF VII R…oguelike

Hey thank you! Will gladly make Arjun my avatar

Currently going through the 5th biome in Saros and utterly addicted to it

Nice marketing idea. I hope it does well as I am finding it a terrific experience but I am the only person playing it inside my gamer group

Tell us the name LOL

Rebirth, along with Trails remake, is how you do modern JRPGs properly. I predict a crazy meta score now that even the ps5-exclusive related hate is not a factor anymore.

It would be a strange exclusivity deal as the title originated on PS but we will see. Not really my favorite but the opening is so cool!

Gotta love his vehicle! Hope I manage to detach myself a bit from Saros and play the festival 😅

I just want a new Wipeout but this could do!

@nessisonett I get what you mean. You know you secretly want Chadley in your FFX remake 😶‍🌫️🫥

@nessisonett I love X but…no nonsense sidequest? Dodge 200 thunders? Catch butterflies in Macalania? Play an entire league of Blitzball? The Zoolab? Collect the Al-Bed dictionaries? Chocobo field activities? Cactuar sanctuary? And there are more. I feel these diversions are what was really missing in XIII, Made by the same team.

Ok people let’s buy it! This is the kind of game I want from PS Studios

They are speaking to my heart. I actually ended up breaking my Saturn by overplaying Guardian Heroes at the time, I would love a re-release. I am already in full giggles mode when “magical sound shower” plays in Sonic Racing Crossworlds.

New week, new strategy for Xbox. They seem to have the mental stability of Gollum.

Nice read, sounds right up my alley - hopefully something can be done about the weak main character.

Sure you can add more emojis,
I am just looking forward to play Saros.

I mean…
➡️⬇️↘️👊🏻 add more emojis
I am just 👀⏩️▶️🌒

So magical and pretty 🤩 looks like I am going to give her a chance to be my new main

Guys I am surprised at some of the comments, she definitely fits in more in Street Fighter than Tekken! She is basically a mash-up of Ken and Cammy. 100% rush-down, fast character. I can totally see her in the roaster with a hefty vagina tax and some explosive damage, maybe a damage multiplier mechanic similar to Gill in SFV.

Here we go! Hopefully they have some kind of sale on the first game to entice the non believers...

It’s a perfect match, almost too bond - if anything

Looks like fun - shlocky and not self serious

Wow! Housemarque guys, I am postponing my Hades II playthrough for this! Just letting you know …on the verge of taking a day off to celebrate release but don’t want to outnerd the family 😅 keeping it classy
