I'm not interested in buying it because imo it's not a mainline final fantasy game, in the sense that there's only 1 playable character as opposed to multiple playable characters and it's not party member based. If it were a spin off like FF Type-0, FFX-2, FFVII Dirge of Cerberus, maybe it would've attracted more "traditional" FF fans. The story is good (I watched the cutscenes compilations) but the characters are not as well written as some of the previous entries.
Is this gonna be a complete game or will there be a Sigma/Black version releasing after which includes more content (stages, playable characters like Momiji, Rachel, Ayane etc.)? Looks good though
I'm really curious to see how dark the story could be that it required a warning or it's just marketing tactics. Fatal Frame story was dark but no warning required. Excited for this game's story!
I'm hoping to buy Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader on sale (in time to prepare for the upcoming dlc), as well as Baldur's Gate 3 (it was on sale for about 20% in my region a few months ago, hoping it'll be on sale more than that this time around). Crossing my fingers!
Hey everyone, I need some opinions. Two of the games that I'm interested in buying not on this list are discounted as well (maybe different regions); Dragon's Dogma 2 Standard Edition (45% = $37) and Granblue Fantasy Relink Standard Edition (50% = $21). Do you guys think these are worth buying now or should I wait for future discounts to see if they'll go lower?
Praying and crossing my fingers for a New Tales of game, Tales of the Abyss remake, God Eater 4, Code Vein, Xenosaga remake announcement and not another SAO with Kirito as the main character. If it's another SAO, it better be something like Fatal Bullet
Looks amazing! I remember there's a mobile game called Phantom Blade Executioners, I don't know if it's worth playing for or not just to prepare for this game.
I'm a bit hesitant to buy this since I'm used to the traditional playable party members system and was a bit afraid this would end up like FFXV, but after watching previews and reading the reviews for it, I immediately pre-ordered it. Thanks for the review ! Can't wait to play it~
@get2sammyb is the story more coherent and the characters are more engaging than FFXV? in the sense that by only playing this game the story is "complete" or understandable rather than having to read a novel, anime, film etc. if there's ever one ?
Indonesia during the Dutch/Japanese Colonization could've been a great setting since Guerilla Warfare was used to fight against the invaders and it involves stealth, sneak attacks, espionage etc. which suits the Assassins' style.
If Ratchet and Clank, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro could make a comeback, I don't see why Sly Cooper couldn't/wouldn't especially since Sony featured the Sly Cooper logo in their last promotional video.
Kinda disappointed with the party members since previous games (barring SO5) have Aliens but it's all human here. Also, it's a fixed party member of 6 instead of giving us optional party members akin to SO1-SO3
When does the catalog refresh happen exactly? I managed to upgrade earlier to Extra on May 24th since I live in Asia, but haven't seen any catalog refresh/re-roll yet.
So is it going to refresh in July instead since these tiers were only available worldwide in June 23rd?

I might buy this if the graphics are overhauled/improved since they're too murky for my taste, and if they lower the price. Hopefully this game will get a redemption arc akin to No Man's Sky or at least Fallout 76, instead of being abandoned like Anthem
This looks pretty good to me, especially the customization options. Idk what's "woke" about this game though, but then again I'm not even American so don't know much about the word or things that are considered as "woke"
I thought with the end of the Dark Seeker saga/storyline, the next MC would be a new protagonist or a returning one (Riku or Kairi maybe) but it's still Sora... oh well, can't wait for more of Nomura's cringey dialogue/writing xD
I think I'm gonna skip this purely due to me being not too fond of Tetsuya Nomura's writing (I find it cringey/bad dialogue), and Jack being an 'edgelord'. I guess I'm just gonna read the story spoilers
My first FromSoftware Souls type of game and I'm really enjoying it. I gave it a 9/10 since personally, it has several things that I wished was there/fixed e.g. no option to display/hide helmet, can't compare equipment in stores, no option to customize/alter an equipment's appearance with another's without changing the status, and the graphic/framerate is not as superb as I expected.
They should've released it for free or at a lower price since it's a live service game. Also, the oil painting style really sucks and the game's visibility is not good at all. I can barely see/admire the environment due to the weird oil painting style throughout the demo :/
Please don't let Clive be the only playable character >< But then again, I'm going to be more okay if he's truly the only playable character rather than releasing DLCs/patches in order to be able to make the other characters playable (like how FFXV did).

Re: Expedition 33 Devs 'Exchange Ideas' with Final Fantasy Team
A party member based (not necessarily turn based) instead of only a single playable character would be a nice idea for the next FF game

Re: Final Fantasy 16 May Have Underperformed on PS5, But It's Doing Terribly on Xbox

Re: The Outer Worlds 2 Gets Gameplay Blowout Covering RPG Systems, Combat, More
Looks good and interesting, especially since it has third-person option. Still gonna wait for a sale though, since I don't think it's worth $80
Re: DON'T NOD Goes Cinematic Sci-Fi in 2026's Aphelion on PS5
If that's Thomas at the end of the trailer, he's probably dead.
Re: Ninja Gaiden 4 Looks Like a Stunning Sequel, Slashes PS5 in October
Is this gonna be a complete game or will there be a Sigma/Black version releasing after which includes more content (stages, playable characters like Momiji, Rachel, Ayane etc.)? Looks good though
Re: Persona 4 Remake Announced for PS5
They should remake Persona 2 after this
Re: Next Tales of Remaster Announcement Confirmed for This Summer
Tales of the abyss needs a remake, not just a remaster. Bandai Namco has the money, so they should be willing to invest in it.
Re: MIXTAPE Does Coming of Age Storytelling Justice with a Stacked PS5 Soundtrack
This looks too American so a definite skip for me. The artstyle looks really nice though!
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2025?
I thought the event lasts until the 9th of June. So no more reveal after today?
Re: This Is the Real-Life Japanese Actress Playing Hinako Shimizu in Silent Hill F
I'm really curious to see how dark the story could be that it required a warning or it's just marketing tactics. Fatal Frame story was dark but no warning required. Excited for this game's story!
Re: When Is Summer Game Fest 2025?
So, will there be a Summer Game Fest Sale on the PS Store? If there is, it'll run concurrently with they Days of Play Sale.
Re: Sony's Huge Days of Play Sale on PS5 Consoles, Games, PS Plus Subs Starts Next Week

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Assassin's Creed Shadows?
I'll buy it once the eventual complete edition with future expansions comes out, or when it's on sale/on PS Plus.

It's a good game if I don't think of it as a Final Fantasy game ._.
Re: Bandai Namco Confirms Summer Showcase Stuffed with Announcements and Reveals

Re: Elden Ring Dev's Next Big Thing Armored Core 6 Targets PS5, PS4 on 25th August
I've never played an Armored Core game before. Is the gameplay similar to mechs game like Gundam or Zone of the Enders?
Re: More Tales Remasters Could Happen, Says Bandai Namco
I'd prefer a remake of a Tales of the Abyss instead of just a remaster :')
Re: Rumour: The Next Assassin's Creed Game, Rift, Will Be Set in Baghdad

Re: More Than Half of PlayStation's Investment Could Be in Live Service Games by 2025
I mean, if the live-service game is an MMORPG and one that is as good as FFXIV, then I'm down for it.
Re: Babylon's Fall Still Going Ahead with Second Season of Content

Re: GreedFall 2: The Dying World Announced for 2024
I liked the first game so this is a welcome surprise. It's also a good substitute for me until Dragon Age 4 releases.
Re: Preview: New Saints Row Looks Like Fantastic Fun, But It's Also Distinctly Last-Gen

Re: Video: Is Live Service Really the Way Forward for PlayStation?
I don't mind if the live service games are mmorpgs (e.g. ffxiv) or hybrid (e.g.monster hunter world where we can play it offline/online)

Re: Temper Your Enthusiasm for Huge Week of PlayStation News
The new Sly Cooper game (or reboot/remake) announcement hopefully
Re: Babylon's Fall Development to Continue As Planned Following Poor Reception
Hopefully it can redeem itself like No Man's Sky instead of being promised to be supported just to be dropped like Anthem

Re: Final Fantasy XVI Has an 'Expansive' Skill Tree System Built for Unique Character Growth
Please don't let Clive be the only playable character >< But then again, I'm going to be more okay if he's truly the only playable character rather than releasing DLCs/patches in order to be able to make the other characters playable (like how FFXV did).
