oOoOooh this is the game Jason was talking about in UPF and said it had a monster huntery gameplay loop, isn't it? I just caught the end of the sentence when he said it and my ears perked up but not enough apparently to go back and listen again. I really like components of what I'm seeing here, but... others have already mentioned it kinda doesn't seem done. The weird variable name in the scrolling text on the left look like placeholders, the balance seems wonked if you're having to just dash past one monster and then obliterating the next, and the people following you seem like a half-finished afterthought. On the other hand that artstyle speaks to me for sure. Scored missions that reward you based on how well you do is my Megaman Zero jam, but having to play the same mission multiple times instead of just getting the reward seems like nobody bothered to playtest.
Also, poison status effect with no consumable healing items? That's some Too Human shit
YEAH BOI brutal takedown of FFX. I was in the same place as Dan in grade school, wasn't til I was older that I went back and really loved a lot of turn-based games, not just of the JRP variety.
People who brush their teeth without water have a headstart on the rest of us for when the Water Wars render water so rare that none of us will have the luxury.
been looking forward to this quicklook SO MUCH and it's off to a great start with Dan's explanation of the selective breeding that's led to him being the ultimate farmer.
Something about that titan-entering animation with the screens coming on one at a time in the middle of a fight always gets me so amped, it's like it's saying "Get psyched!" and I'm like "ok!"
Hearing about FFXV having online co-op, there's absolutely precedent for co-op multiplayer in Final Fantasies. Every few years me and a friend will dig out my snes and his copy of Final Fantasy 3 and play through it 2 player. A few of the other games in the series had 2 player, obviously just 1 person controlling the overworld stuff, but you could select who controlled which characters in battle. It would be pretty cool if they just did that for the whole game in 15.
