@mvhess That's the same thing people said about Persona 4, yet Atlus was able to launch Persona 5 at the right time, so yoy guys gotta chill, P6 will come when it needs to come.
@arsmolinarc 1.IMO persona 6 shouldn't ever have an adult oriented cast,because that's not the point of the series. Plus it would take away what makes the series special.
2. No way are you trying to make the players/MC look like the bad and immoral people,when this grown ass women in game, decided to be in a relationship with an underage person.
Can't wait for this movie,the first one was my favorite spiderman and superhero movie ever made( well, until DC finally decides to make a Kingdom Come animation adaption,with visuals that pays respects to the comics).
I am hyped for Spiderpunk and Spiderman 2099. I hope Silk makes a cameo,she is by far the coolest spiderwoman from the comics( and most attractive).
Anyway, I didn't like how Miles was goofing around with microwaving food(i know he probably payed for it off screen or will pay for it after the fight),before helping the shopkeeper, because it's leaving the shopkeeper in unneeded danger.
It reminds me of how Andrew Garfield Spiderman was goofing around with Rhino instead of taking him down immediately,which lead to unneeded collateral damage on the streets.
Spiderman not taking his villains seriously for comedic effect is fine,but if only it doesn’t put innocent people at risk. Tom Holland spiderman vs the robbers dressed as avengers, is a good example of how to do this.
@z0d15g0d This. A spiderman 2099 game for a sequel would be fire.
It will allow for a new futurisc map,more interesting spiderman power and gadgets, and honestly a much more complex dive into a main character that isn't adversed to killing the villain when needed be in Miguel.
Spiderman ps4 had a worse storyline (man, how I hated MJ and Peter character and relationship in the game).
It had those boring forced Mj and Miles gameplay section, which are inferior to the catwoman sections in AC.
Since it basically uses Batman AC as a template for the game, it loses points because it doesn't really improve on it or offer something completely new with that format.
If that trainwreck of a fighting game release called Street Fighter 5 can get up to 7 million in its life time, then SF6 will pass 10 million comfortably in no time.
Am I the only one who thinks FF7 remake character model( especially the facial expressions) and visuals look better than FF16?
Or maybe it's just the character design that I think looks better in FF7 remake?
PC master race have the option to pirate Playstation single player games ( this price increase might lead more PC gamers to do so,lol), so no, they still have the advantage.
Pro:
1.I love the music,environment and overall atmosphere of the game, it is definitely true ti final fantasy in that regard
2. The story seems to be much more interesting this time around. And the dev seems to be interested in giving us a well thought out story, instead of what we got in FF13 and FF15.
I am also a fan of the age progression thing they will do, but I would be lying if I didn't think that they should have kept it as a suprise for us when we play the game.
Cons:
1. The character design is still to subdued for a final fantasy game,imo. People who hate anime might like that, but it makes the characters lose their final fantasy charm, and when it comes to Clive, look boring AF imo.
Noxtus crew looks cooler than Clives crew.
2. The character models look somehow less impressive than Final fantasy 7 remake. Check Clive and Jill's reunion, their facial expressions doesn't match their emotions.
3. Not being able to control other party member. If FF15 could allow us to do this(albeit later via an update), then I see no reason why we can't do it in FF16.
Maybe they fear having gameplay systems for party members would be detriment to the story, since we will be playing Clive at his various ages?
What I am unsure of:
1. Hack and slash DMC combat. I don't dislike that combat, but for an rpg I do prefer turn based, because hack and slash does get tiring when playing 100+ hours rpg. So we will see how enjoyable the DMC gameplay is.
2. The enemies do look spongy, which isn't good, but the boss battle looks cool and epic.
3. I do like that it isn't full on open world, but does anybody else feel that it looks kinda dry at times?
Anyway, all I know is that this game is going to be a success.
From its marketing, to it being hailed the final fantasy game that everyone has been excited for since slice bread, to it revamping its gamplay to match that of a popular franchise like DMC , to people praising it looking more western and less anime(the anime hate is still real,lol), and finally it being a Final Fantasy game in general,will help it break alot of sale records.
Will the story be great?Will Clive become an iconic MC despite his subdued look? Will the DMC gameplay satisfy even the most loyal turn based fan? Will it be the game to finally meet expectations for SQ sales fantasy?
Well ,we will find out in June.
It's has great depth, but it isn't to complicated that you would get lost. It's fun, and it takes far longer for me to get burned out from a single gaming session with Trails, then I do when compared to other turn-based jrpg's.
I also think the story is much more interesting than most persona games, given that each Trails game is like part of an arch, that all comes together for an overarching plot.
The only thing that Persona has over Trails, especially Persona 5,is better visuals and overall polish of the game, imo.
Although I would prefer Arcsys to use 2D sprites like in Persona 4 UA, instead of their current 2.5 D visuals, because I think it would cost less time, thus allowing for quicker release of characters.
Even so, there are disadvantage of an Arcsys Bleach fighter.
1. Since it's an Arcys game, you have like a max of 15 to 20 characters at launch ,which isn't big enough for Bleach imo.
There will be alot of fan favorite characters left out of the game, even when all the dlcs are done.
This very worrisome for Bleach, because of its large cast of characters.
2. Modern day Arcsys are on a mission to simplify their fighting games, which includes giving characters fewer special moves as possible( 3-4 special moves), thus alot of the characters moves from the anime/manga won't be able to transfer to the fighting game faithfully.
The only way to lessing the problem of this, is to make the Bleach fighter a Tag fighter like dragonball fighter Z.
3. The single player content won't be good. I have zero faith in Arcsys to create a story mode, with faithfully written storyline for Bleach, which also has a balance of gameplay.
I also have no faith in them going the extra mile to include other fun single player modes beyond, Arcade and a time trial.
CC2 fixes many of this issues by making games with alot of the characters avaliable, and incorporating them with a movelist that is very faithfully to the source material, without caring about balance or bloat.
They also create a more fun and interactive single player mode than Arcsys does.
The obvious disadvantage of a CC2 game, is that the visuals won't look as good as Arcsys, and that it will most likely play as an arena fighter, which although fun to play with friends, isn't well balanced or competitively viable.
@GymratAmarillo Uhm no, it's just a picture. It's all Geometry and colors. Things that A.I is very good at reproducing.
People love persona for its aesthetics, not its art. A.I will reproduce that anime persona aesthetics flawlessly, and people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
@Ken_Kaniff Eh,if you are into a fighting game, then you can definitly play it for that long.
People still play games like Guilty Gear ac+r, Blazblue Central Fiction,Skull girls, Marvel vs Capcom 2 and 3, Street fighter 3rd strike and 4, and the various KOF games to this day.
For me, you can still catch me playing Guilty Gear ac+r and Blazblue Central Fiction even in 10 years time.
@z0d15g0d No thank you, if it plays anything like Strive.
Rather they re-release Blazblue Central Fiction with an English dub, crossplay and added single player mode from ChronoPhantsma extend, than a BlazBlue Strive.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Devs Considered Hybrid Combat System, But Craved Something 'Complete'
I am still disappointed that we only play as one character instead of a party.
Playing other party memebers besides the MC in past jrpg's, helped me connect and actually care about them as characters.
The story and characters of FF16 has to be very good, to replace that feeling I used to have.

Re: Insomniac 'Working Hard' to Make Spider-Man 2 Its Best Game Ever
@Fishnpeas MJ leaving Peter because he was doing his job, is a betrayal of what the character ever stood for, and made no sense.
She basically left him because of her insecurity and envy of his ability to save people.
Re: Insomniac 'Working Hard' to Make Spider-Man 2 Its Best Game Ever
@swagbag7Off the top of my head.
Spiderman ps4 had a worse storyline (man, how I hated MJ and Peter character and relationship in the game).
