@junkerman: This is really interesting, I wonder what's going on here. I've only played on Graphics and I've never seen the game drop from a steady 30.
I don't think this is an actual problem, I think this is enthusiast brain rot. Like you go and read a subreddit or forum or whatever of people who are incredibly overly dialed into a thing and you're going to come away with the impression you're talking about but the wider audience of 'gamers' are super into a lot of these things.
@nodima: There is a proper sit-down codex that is basically an in-game wiki if you ever wanted to actually read lore. The ATL is there purely as a "who are you again?" or if some specific thing catches interest in the context of that scene only.
The name is very silly but as a feature I like it quite a bit. The action games version of highlighting important terms that come up in dialogue trees.
Although I can't really see the comparison to FFIX. Those were mostly just "What's everyone else doing?" as opposed to a tool for exposition.
@sparky_buzzsaw: We can but in this particular instance it is actual fact that the team looked heavily at Game of Thrones in development, Yoshi-P gave a lot of interviews and he was not particularly shy about the games influences.
The framerate in FFXVI is atrocious. I seem to be one of the few having severe problems with it, but I'll take this opportunity to point it out! It's barely playable to me in the state it's in.
Wait, what?
I've heard people say Performance is not as stable as they would like (I've only played on Graphics) but I've never heard anyone else talk about it being that severe.
Anyway I feel like Overwatch 2 is the easy but sort of uninteresting answer here so far, although the little I know about what Twitch has been up to lately is pretty fucked.
Every new Eikon I've gotten has made me appreciate the combat more which is why I do think it's kind of a shame how long you go in between getting them. I think it would have probably been better for each of your core moves to have one more upgrade tier where it expands the move instead of just have one upgrade and then the Master, as it is I find that I just end up sitting on a ton of ability points waiting for the next Eikon to unlock.
Also the Eikon's "Ultimate" moves should all have been tied to Limit Break or some other method of use beyond your normal equippable move slots because as nice as some of them are I've yet to find a situation where I'd sacrifice any of my faster cooldowns for the One Big Hit.
It's good because it's a great game with a lot of great spectacle. It's really fun to play and watch. I don't think there's a whole lot of I only like this because it's a bit like Game of Thrones.
@natzal: It's not a traditional Launch attack but charging up your magic is one of the starter abilities and if enemies are small enough to be launched they will be and you can follow up with the Phoenix dash to do some midair. It's limited until some more Eikons come in though.
You do bring up my actual one complaint with the combat though and that's... man what is even up with Torgal who came up with this really undercooked Dog Micro alongside what is otherwise really well tuned combat.
