Do you have to be going through ng+ to use the Scorched Armor skin?

Just finished the game. 110h, level 110, all trophies/ach, every music box, Original Sin, Eludium gear, etc etc etc…

Best FF story, by far.

Worst gameplay I’ve ever had, and at the same time, the easiest game I’ve ever played.

No, NG+ doesn’t change shit, because is the worst gameplay mechanic ever made.

But if you want to play for the history, great, it’s a masterpierce.

It really does change the Game? So after NG it is getting good?

Took him over 2 minutes to stop barking and get to the video

I can’t change my different on new game plus after I beat it

no dungeons are sad though, i really loved FFXV and its one of my favourite games ever… the dungeons were also so cool and fun! I find it a little shocking that they don’t exist in this game honestly

This has probably been mentioned before but I feel that enemies levels scale with yours in FFmode because every enemy I’ve come across has been around my level.

I don’t think I’ll be playing ng+ there just isn’t enough of a reason too.

Too bad some people cannot play the game because SE hates us.

Im still on 78% and i have played for 256 hours

The gear is kinda boring, reminds me of Elden ring or DS. I prefer the GoW type gear with perks and stats on them to make you stronger. Weapons here only give X dmg and that’s it. BORING!!!!

I like the magic

I have a problem on pc where in or out of combat, IF THE CAMERA IS NOT CENTERED and player will dash backwords and cancel attacks or abiliets!!!!
NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS and I cant play the game!!

If I lock in THE SHIFT BUTTON THE CAMERA STOPS FOLLOWING ME AND ALLOWS ME TO *** PLAY!!!

okay but for what ? , this game has no alternate ending , why should I play NG+ ? only to see horrible side quest animations which does not impact story ending in any way, and really depressing story ? no thanks , good video for those who liked wasting on this crap game.

Did anyone else’s game glitch getting the platinum, I skipped so many custscenes that it glitched out the map at a few places😂

No it doesnt

I’m still on my first playthrough and only about level 23 I feel like this game is not hard at all I even have it on combat mode I never have to grind because I’m underpowered is this normal? Does this game ever get harder?

not worth it

Im sorry ive been playing RPGS MOST pf my life Since i wass 20 in my 40s now so no Rookie here, i p,ay RPGs on atari day’s, when they were brutal difficultly settings, when normal setting made u feel like u accomplished when u defefeated a normal enemy, nowadays gms today are made for panzys, unless u buy an actual dark souls gm. Im not saying final fantasy needs to be that downright difficult, but Square enix needs to stop rushing out there material & stop pandering just to take the easiest way out & alienate og fans. Lol all im doing is hack & slashing my way through, & standing in one spot for literally 5 minutes @1 time not 1 enemy touches me nor hits me. & this happens throughout the entirety of the gm. Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 tried to get a refund hahaha Sony is a joke 😃 😀 😄 😁 all laughing matter. Once gm is downloaded NO REFUNDS PERIOD. ……….

What kind of madman saves the side quests for post ending????? No wonder you were only at level 45 after Ultima lol

Sucks that I can’t play NG+ on normal difficulty with my “Final Fantasy mode” save file.

Great game but the side quests really burned me out, I don’t want to replay this game for a while.

should have made hard mode available from the start

Question can you do the DLC in the up game plus ?

am i the only one struggling to get through this game? long time FFantasy fan and everything about this game is boring…even upgrading weapons is too linear. the game looks great….but thats all it has for it.

Visually stunning but lacked depth. Still a fan of FF and will probably buy any games that they will release. There should be some level of customization aside from skills. Story and side quest feels like just going from Point A and B instead of some complex puzzle like other games. Beautiful and vast map that it just there for aesthetics and useless for the most part. I did enjoy the eikon battles specially bahamut.

Jill almost fked me up 😂. Which is literally the first fight hahaha

How many times can we do NG+?

Is it just me??? Or I’m near the end of FF mode and didn’t find the NG+ hard at all???

can i get the evcalibur sword in the regular game

Do you keep rings from story focus mode

I’ve find very easy the game plus because I put on counter so every time enemy try to hits me the counter alerts me to press R1. Like that I never lose a fight. Saying I’ve just arrived on the new cid hiding location in sea so till I got there it was a freeze using counter now till the end of the game I’m not sure it its possible to finish the plus game with counter gear on.

If you play through Final Fantasy mode and start a third new game plus can you change the difficulty back to normal and keep your new level and the Ultima Sword if you crafted it?

Wow you gave us some great info in this video for those who wanna do FF mode

I never do NG+

I like this, but I wish all the others had new game+ updates now that they’re all on modern consoles

It doesnt COMPLETELY CHANGE THE GAME. ffs you drama queen.

I hate hoe u cant do hundreds of thousands of damage it literally caps u at the lowest possible so boring when u just wanna be OP

Small correction: 08:07 after beating all the Chrinoliths in NG+ all accessories become available to buy but at different merchants so you might check them one by one if you’re looking for something specific.
And that is only applicable if you sold anything by mistake. However, by the end of my NG+ I literally got everything in the game without buying a single accessory. (Maybe 1?) You definitely don’t need a 3rd or 4th playthrough at all.

GREAT!! 😂😂 SO INSTEAD OF JUST LETTING EVERYONE GET ALL THE BETTER WEAPONS AND UPGRADES IN THE 1ST PLAYTHROUGH AND MY ROBOCOP ROUGE CITY I PRE ORDERED ON PS5 WHICH WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PLAY HERE NOVEMBER 2ND 2023 IM SUPPOSED TO PLAY 50 PLUS MORE HOURS ALL OVER AGAIN TO GET WHAT I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MY 1ST PLAYTHROUGH IN THE FIRST PLACE….WOW!!! WHAT A HUGE LETDOWN SQUARE EQUNIX 😂😂😂 WAY TO PISS OFF YOUR FINAL FANTASY FANS WHO BOUGHT THIS GAME…DO YOU GUYS NOT KNOW HOW TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX WHEN YOU DESIGN YOUR FINAL FANTASY GAMES??? 😂😂😂

All the upgrades and stats are great and all… if the utter lack of difficulty even warranted them. Final Fantasy mode should have been an option for the first playthrough. Missed opportunity.

Final fantasy mode wayy to hard

The only thing that would completely change this game is 60 fps and/or a PC version.

With as much as I LOVE this game, I WISH I didn’t need to have to complete it on FF Mode for the Platinum… I have everything except that one Trophy, but now that I know the full story it’s become a bit of a slog…

Maybe money will actually be worth something in NG+

I haven’t gotten around to beating it yet, though I can’t say I wanna beat the game twice, just to do arcade mode on ultimaniac 🙁

Also ppl say that its good that this game wraps the story around this game and doesnt leave loose ends. Here i must disagree because i love ff7 and ff15 for the spinoff to get to deeper level with everything. Heck im gonna use movie example. Shutter island eh, great movie but literally the best part that made the movie was the last speech line where everything happened was just given a huge question mark.

Why does games have to end is my question. How many times did i finish 7 or 8? I like the old way of adding playability to endgame and just linger before completing the game.

Final Fantasy mode is the biggest disappointment in the game. The increased number of mini boss type enemies everywhere is just an annoyance because it takes way longer than it should. If you have more than 2 brain cells then you learned how to no damage any of these enemies in your first playthrough already anyway and giving them increased health and damage does not change that at all.

“If you enjoy being overpowered and want to make the entire game a cakewalk”

The entire game is already a cakewalk.

Why not put all this in the original game? the crafting was so dull in the original playthrough, doesn’t really make sense.

dancing steel +50% zantetsuken buildup accessory on NG+ is absolutely broken.

Oh I was only 1 level of max level in my normal playthrough 🙁

why does this video run so well? My game runs like shit

What’s the point of increasing the enemy health and the weapon attack power simultaneously? They would literally negate one another

I’m still waiting for my Ultima powers…

Sooo if i do a new game plus but on Action Focused..Does that slow down my EP or can i level up the same rate that i did my first walkthrough?

I’d prefer more of a post game with hardcore marks/upgrades etc. Playing through the entire story again is kinda boring even with harder enemies….

Maybe so but it’s still crap

ng plus only gives you high level…its the same game only harder

We see the book at the end written from Joshua… he survived it with the magic from clive.but clive sacrifised himself for the world
Rip clive
Rip tupac
Rip M.J

Spoiler warning

So clive died at the ending.
….

Amazing game what a ride

It kinda doesnt change it at all. Title is false clickbait. Clive gets stronger, enemies get stronger. Tiny bit harder. I flew right through final fantasy mode. Just got my plat last night.

whatever the mode, the game is easy.
Don’t get me wrong, still love the game.
The only complain I have from the game is the Ultima Weapon color. I would prefer if the blade would be red instead of blue.

Does anyone know if there’s any point doing all the side quests again or do they add new side quests into new game plus

I wished that the NG+ would be new bosses (that u havent seen yet in first playthrough) would have made this plat abit more fun for me to get , dont get me wrong , loved the game but the 2nd playthrough is abit meh becuase of it.

Someone please explain to me what he did at 5:58. I beat the game already and have never seen this attack string before, nor have I seen a flaming dodge like that.

Question: do the completed quests carry over? Or do they need to be recompleted? And if so, are they necessary for the Gottendammerung reforged/Ultima Weapon?

I knew most this but did u know that as level up youre stagger goes up so does your defense and so on

I normally don’t do NG+ in games unless its required for the platinum trophy. For this one I just slapped the timely evasion ring and made everything so much easier and faster lol

“Save crafting resources”

Crafting is a joke in this game. You’ll always have more than enough material for basic stuff as long as you just play the game and check chests.

can you do ng+ more than once?

One bummer about the ultima sword is that you can’t even use it in arcade mode

juist changing what mobs spoawns during missions is to me not worth replaying game.

yah msotr powerfuylw eapon in game u literallyu cant get to literally endf of NG+ which makes it utterly useless and pointless

I don’t think I can do a new game plus. I enjoyed the story, but the gameplay was lacking. What was the point of the level system anyway? It could have easily been left out in lieu of equipment.

Just not looking forward to doing all the really short but long feeling side quest of walking back and forth the larger hide out and some cities. It feels like a boring chore most the time even when they provide details for the world it just feels annoying jogging so slowly to hand someone wood I got from the other side of the place

I loved the story, but I don’t know how anyone could withstand new game + for this game… this has the worst side quests I’ve ever seen in any video game. I’ve never played a game wher side quests bothered me more… Its always a fetch quest/hunt and sometimes literally just talking from one person in a room to the other…

But are enemies more reactive? Because they were like zombies in first run ngl

I came to this video for one concern

In my Action Focused playthrough i accidentally sold Ragnarok before I made gotterdamerung, in Final Fantasy mode will I get the chance to regain Ragnarok and the Dommer or have I fucked myself over and need to restart from the Action Focused..?

Final fantasy mode should have been available from the start. The vanilla difficulty was way too easy

Nice video!

Was kinda expecting to face Ultima Weapon to get the crafting materials for it not just craft it. Bummer

It is very unrecognizable from FF 1-10 The games I grew up with. I kind of feel they have to change it for the new generation of ADHD kids. I miss being able to summon whatever you want whenever you want and the tactic part of turn based combat.

this has no replay value. and also no trophy for doing all the sidequest is super lame

Just me or the video voice from Joraptor changed?

It doesn’t change a shit. It’s easy as fuck like the NG

Okay so its the same exact game with bigger numbers. Nice.

NG+ does NOT completely change the game. It doesn’t make it harder, just longer. If you shit stomped through the game initially, you will continue to shit stomp through NG+ on FF mode.

They need to have a “Buy back” system, I had absolutely no clue whatsoever that you could craft the gray badge of might/mettle to better versions so I sold the obsolete versions. And I dont feel like undoing 10 hours of progress.

I need a minute to digest what just happened in the story before I do new game plus. Truly an amazing game

How does he dodge like that please help 5:59

So you don’t keep your weapons on new games plus you should thought

Another boring round, skip everything. Waste of ff series. 😒 ugh bad elder ring impression. Hogwarts had more of a story….

Yeah, no. FF mode should have been an option from the start.

Not true it’s just as easy as the first run. you’re just even more OP then you were in the first run. I promise you anyone can beat this game on hard I did it with no investment into any special builds. Whatsoever. 😂😂😂😂

I like how they handled NG+ in this game with Final Fantasy mode. While it doesn’t really change the game like the title implies, it does give you a greater challenge which is nice (although some enemies and bosses are just giant sponges now).
I wish you were able to upgrade accessories in the first playthrough tho, that would have actually made me use more than the same few on rotation.

If they do bring in some DLC… I hope Ultima’s big bad older brother Omega shows up. With him bringing a slew of new Eikons such as Leviathan, Asura, Carbuncle, Alexander, Bismark, Diablos, Anima, Zodiark, and Gilgamesh!

Unlocking the ability to change your limit break depending on which Eikon you have equipped. Adding the ability to select specific party members to join you in your travels, each with their own set of abilities and boons for the party.

I would also like to be able to go Full Primal with your Eikon of choosing rather than always Ifrit. Additionally in random field battles on occasion a monster should be overwhelmed with Aether Flooding and rage into a giant version of itself, allowing you to go Primal and fight it as well.

No it doesnt…absolutely same game with further upgradable gear and enemiemobs that take even more dmg.

Oh this is such good news. I’m only going after the 2nd crystal right now in my first play through but I’ve found it relatively easy.

There’s been some tough fights but I never finish missing more than 1 high potion.

Me personally i dont mind then locking a difficulty level behind another playthrough. If I love the game, ill play it again immediately.

Perfect example..FF7 Remake. Just went back and replayed it again, this time on Hard Mode and it was so much better tbh. Makes you change up your playstyle, especially to conserve MP throughout chapters. And some of those bosses are much more fun on Hard. Especially Hell House

Do i need to go after the ultimate sword? Because in ff mode your damage you do against bosses is like a toothpick vs sequoia

I had felt so accomplished completing my first play thru. I just started NG+ and already hate my life

I sold stormcry, early after getting a better weapon… anyway to reacquire it in ng+?

Hate when ganmea do this. Like just make it all available, i’m not playing your game again. If it wasn’t part of the original experience its irrelevant to me now.

It really is a shame that the game does a bad job with showing you that some side quests are useful (of course there is another symbol, but when you do side quests for 10 hours with no impact you naturally stop doing them)
Would be great if NG+ also “scraps” the Intermission Missions ( you know what I mean)

I wish that mode gave encounters a little more variety in how they are handled. They still feel like the same encounter on repeat throughout the game. You dont change your plan of attacks per encounter except extremely slightly

I’ve been playing so long and I don’t even think I’m near the end yet. I couldn’t imagine doing it all over again , at least not for a few years. The bosses get on my nerves. Yeah they’re really spectacular but every single one you kill. Back to life. Kill. Back to life. Kill back to life. It has gotten tiresome.

So it’s the exact same thing but with a slight difficulty increase. They just renamed the items to add another level to them.

So they pull DS2 NG+ on us ?

Clives weapons look way better than noctis’

I think the prologue was one of the best parts of the game, if not the best.. im not that far into the game but from what ive seen, it feels like the game becomes less interesting near the end of game

Problem with ng+ is having to redo all the fucking green subquests

In New Game Plus and Final Fantasy Mode, will completed side missions stay the same or will they have to be done all over again?

Good game but didn’t find myself immersed in the story or the characters like the majority of past FF games

How did you get 4 bars of Eikon rage?

I just want my mental stability back… And the ultima weapon haha

Im in the middle of ng+ right now. Im doing it only for the platinum trophy so im skipping cut scenes. The game just becomes tedious fetch quests and spongy boss/sub-boss fights.

So I heard about FF mode. So I have just been button mashing and skipping every cut scene so I can experience the game with a little difficulty this time, and actually watch what’s going on in the game.

I feel like this games linear devil may cry style sections and more open narrative sections are at odds with each other and this is a really good example of that. Devil May Cry 5 (all of them but using the most recent) has the exact same system where you replay it at a higher difficulty and get to carry your abilities over with remixed enemies in levels, however thats only a 5-8 hour long game. Having the same system in a 50 hour game is very different. But this game wouldnt be nearly as long if they cut all the filler and it was just the linear segments from the “arcade mode” menu.

That dumb so they lock new stuff behind New Game Plus

Idk what they meant by changes the entire game. It just brings mid-late game enemies into the game sooner like several games do. Also the ultima weapon crafting process is a bit dumb. You aren’t able to craft it till the very end so you basically only have the final boss to use it on. At least in kh2 you have a whole additional area and a buncha Super bosses to use the weapon on. Kh3 does it even better and let’s you carry it into ng+

After getting the platinum, I can confirm that it does not change the game enough to warrant a “complete change”… enemies still have the exact same mechanics they just have higher stats

I was constantly expecting to unlock the possibility to upgrade accessories during my initial playthrough and was so disappointed because it never happened. The story and the whole game was so overwhelmingly good that I don’t know how long it’ll take until I have the energy to play through it again. Well, at least this long awaited option now awaits there 😀

dam….that mid game lvl50 dragon optional boss is going to be a bitch. What is he in ng+ like lvl100?

Is there anyway you can cut through the cut scenes once you beat the game?

so more enemies that just takes more hits to kill.. only challenge is that your thumb can handle the pounding

I have to disagree quite a bit that New Game+ changes everything. New Game+ Doesn’t really change anything other than you getting all the Eikons from the start. All the equipments upgrade doesn’t really make the second playthrough more fun by any mean since we all know that equipments in this game lacks varieties and stats to make them feel any different. The enemie’s health is so high in Final Fantasy mode that if you really want do deal any damages, you’re stuck with Bahamut’s ulti, Odin’s Dancing Steel and Zantetsuken, TItan’s Wind Up, Ramuh’s Judgement Bolt (Basically anything that have 4 stars+ damage rating) or you’ll take so much time bringing down mini-boss enemies.

It’s much more fun in the first playthrough as all the skills are somewhat usable and fun (basically can deal decent damages). With New Game+, you’re stucked with nothing but those skills I mentioned. Seriously lack of equipment varieties and stats doesn’t allow for a fun second playthough.

How do you do that fire dodge? I’m only dodging with R1 in my first playthrough

this should be in the normal game….

you also missed the part where the cutscrean buttons are removed

Hopefully a future update will give us the option to switch off the HUD! This would be a welcome feature for all owners of OLED-TVs…

I wish this was hard mode from the get-go. I hate content being gated like this. After investing 70-80 hours, that last thing I want to do is replay the exact same game but harder, with the same story. I’ll be moving on to another game. I think the base game is pretty easy overall, but could have benefited from enemies scaling in level with you. Luckily though, most enemies are damage sponges so I can still pull off some sick moves. But the base game does need some better balancing to keep it challenging.

My only complain about this masterpiece was that that I couldn’t finish the last stuff before the end mission and now you come saying I can load and spawn right before it!!!! Life savior!

Im confused because I’m playing ng+ on final fantasy mode but i dont have the tab to upgrade accessories? Ive just arrived at the new hideaway and ive only been able to buy 3 of the xp and ap accessories from Charon but nothing about upgrading at blackthorne.

Sadly the side quest are so incredibly boring that no one does them so people will misunderstand the ending.

Nice to see the ULTIMA WEAPON back

I can’t remember what it’s called but
The accessories for+ 20% AP is possible to buy 2 of them on your first playthrough so you can upgrade to plus 40%ap as soon as you start NG+
You buy the first one from Charon at the hideaway
The second one I got from the merchant outside the castle wall in the town where you do the sidequests for the prostitutes.
I’m sorry I’m horrible with remembering names and such but I promise you I got 2 of them this way

i wish there was some outfits for clive ;3

It doesn’t feel any harder though, everything just becomes a damage sponge lol

So, to get the best sword in ng+ i have to do AGAIN the same quests i already do in the first playthrough? WTF SQUARE ENIXA

Can you play multiple new game plus on the same save? Like can I do final fantasy mode and if I bitch out start a other new game plus in another difficulty from the same saved original game

Even though it sound cool to get the best upgrades and get the best weapons is not worth it in my opinion. So many hours for what? Trophies and stronger enemies? Yeah nah, they messed up hard with this choice and only a small percentage of gamers will do this anyway.

You can play in ultimaniac mode even from your first playthrough at the stone. I’m still on my first run and saw that it was an option.

Won’t most abilities be useless by ng+ and then you’re gonna want to use the same eikons the entire time?

I wont be playing the game again anytime soon but was there any extra scenes in this mode?

Finally a ps5 game worth the money

Wow! Thanks for the elucidation on Final Fantasy Mode! I wasn’t aware of the accessory upgrade and the difficulty spike in arcade mode!

I was really disappointed that upgrading Ragnarok to Gotterdammerung didn’t change the appearance at all given that’s it’s the ultimate weapon of the base game. And also yeah, locking Ultima Weapon until the end of the game makes no sense when there’s nothing to use it on, no additional super bosses or anything. What a waste. Still loved the game though

It always suck when they give you the Ultima weapon right at the end. Like what am I supposed to do with this? Fight packs of wolves? There should be ways to acquire them by 50 or 70% playthrough so you at least get some time with it.

so do bosses have new attacks/attack patterns or do they just do more damage?

sigh, another 50h down the drain

If they add different weapons it will be more fun

I’ve heard plus 6 weapons change appearance. Not sure how accurate that is

The best interactive movie i’ve ever layed my eyes upon but a meh game, waaaaay to many cutscenes of NO importance during sidequests, easiest FF entry to platinum EVER…. and having to do a SECOND run for that ONE trophy and just to up the experience a tiny bit is just braindead

What really happens: Mob health goes up x3.
What retards think: IT CHANGES THE WHOLE GAME.

I did it on day 2. It really isn’t as hard. If anything, it’s being overhyped

I sold my ragnaroak sword, Now I can’t upgrade to the best sword in the game. Any tips how can I get it back or buy it back without starting new game plus ?

Are the “hand of” quests harder in new game plus? The 7 eikon timed trials?

The only reason to actually play this game is for its incredible story. Doesn’t have much replay value imo. I had to set the battle difficulty to easy just to get through the boring fights faster lol. Eikon battles are pretty amazing tho.

I’ll try ultramania

Can you reach level 100 in any other mode if you don’t play on ff mode 😊

I’m loving new game plus already finished the ap trophy

Why are more people not talking about this? Even if you don’t think this follows the same path as previous FF games. This game is such a wonderful experience, great story, solid performance, amazing graphics. The combat gets better as you play and that never stops and you can play anywhere from 40-70 hours only to find out the NG+ actually offers a reason to do it. New rewards and upgrades, the ability to fight these amazing bosses using new powers previously locked. Man not only do I love this game more than I thought I would but what an amazing experience

I’l wait for the framerate fix before I play the FF mode..

I didn’t get Gotterdammerung on my first playthrough and I just begun the game in NG+ (stopped playing at the hideaway). I did all the hunts so I probably have every materials to craft it. Should I go back to my old save and restart NG+ with the weapon or I can craft it later?

Im not really sure about playing the game over just for a sword… If there were new Eikon battles, new abilities,and costumes to obtain then yeah. Im satisfied with base story…

I knew sommething was wrong while i’m playing. No access to full crafting? No sure if i can come back after finishing the story. 1 and done fo me🤷🏾‍♂️

Can you replay new game+, I mean 100 level with ultima blade?

Content shouldn’t be locked behind a difficulty setting. Game is already way too long and tedious.

Bedankt voor de video chad ❤

Are there any story changes in final fantasy mode?

So, play the game again with more enemies, not NEW enemies, just MORE enemies, and get better gear, but not DIFERENT gear, since is just “this sword has more damage than the previous one”, there is nothing unique about them, nothing that changes how we play, in the end NG+ is almost the same as the regular game, but with a few more enemies to fight during main missions. I enjoyed the game and all, but the lack of ANY rpg system at all is really sad and frustrating, ive spent the entire game waiting for it to apear and never did, and since the “best sword in the game” has only “more damage” i guess NG+ is not going to change it at all, which is a damn shame.

it does no such thing. more elites, spongier bosses, and a sword.

Boh the end completely remove me any wish to replay the game for how bad is. Happy some one can play after this disappointed title.

Too bad all these great NG+ features don’t come with a better ending.

How do you do that attack at 5:59? Where you do the limit break combo string but not in limit break

This is cool and all, but I still hate that FF mode is locked behind NG+. As someone who doesn’t have much time and a huge backlog of games, I’m never touching NG+, no matter how much I like the games sadly

But the history is still horrible.

Wait so there’s more enhanced gear past ng+ for accessories & stuff? Like +3 & +4 stuff? Anybody got a list of what equipment upgrades this far?

Game is truly a visual spectacle and a solid story too. Mostly Every boss fight feels like a final boss fight in other games. Wouldn’t call it the best FF game, because its missing the charm of FF games but as its own thing its a solid top 5 game of the year so far.

I don’t know, feels kinda like clickbait? “Completely changes the game” as in it adds a single weapon and a few enemies. Everything else is really superficial, it feels like replaying the game a second time.

I also took off my ring of timely focus and bitch 😅 I used almost all my potions in that fafnir battle lol

Just started New game Plus. So far it’s a lot of fun. However taking away the QTE button presses is kind of annoying to figure out which button you’re supposed to press

Second play through??? Hahaha!!! The game overheats and crashes my ps5 after 45 minutes, so the first playthrough is a real challenge. Why aren’t game reviewers mentioning this. It’s really deceptive.

This is all great and all….I’m almost at the end. But my issue is that the number of cutscenes and the constant walking to and fro as part of the story saps my desire to play it ALLLLLLLLLLLL again. I’m enjoying it but it’s been way too easier and I’m concerned they have just made enemies spongier rather than different movesets or actually more difficult. Instead it just looks like they have a massive health bar and are way spongier. Which makes them take longer to beat. The biggest hurdle for me even though I can skip the cutscenes is the walking and slow sections of to and froing as part of the main story which you have to do. I just can’t do it all again. I like many others just wish they’d given us the choice to change up to harder difficulty for the first time round. Cus let’s face it, it is a story action game – very linear and the upgrading is severely outdated compared to many other games. Almost makes all these materials you pick up a bit pointless. I feel nothing when I do. I love the combat but the gear etc. is very boring and not really engaging. With it being so linear, it just feels like I’m playing on rails.

Ff 16 is meant to be played twice

I’m too salty about the ending to do NG+ 😂

Playing it one time was enough for me, garbage game

Can someone please help me? What materials do you need to craft ice brand reforged in ng+ ffm?

Game is way too easy, even on NG+. Such a shame that they created a great combat system, for it all to be let down by dumb A.I.

Can you earn trophies in arcade/stage replay mode. I know alot of trophies say hall of virtue excluded, so are these modes different than the hall of virtue mode?

That’s a tall order. I’m estimating it took me 100% at around 65 hours. What content can I skip while going through NG+? The only reason I’d run it again is for trophies.

game does not get harder, it is just late game enemies showing up earlier…It gets boring because you have to do everything from zero for crafting materials and ability points to fully upgrade skills, bosses take forever to kill because of bulky HP increase (but same predictable moveset). Combat is garbage, too linear and more cutscenes/padding than ever, one of the worst FF made

I love this game but I just now got through my first action focused playthrough. It sucks that you have to beat the entire game before it starts getting challenging. Ultimas should have been way harder with way less cutscenes and more fighting. If it was a three-stage battle with only combat and no cut scene, that would have been awesome!

Imagine finishing Final Fantasy Mode and playing Action Focused mode with OP weapons and exp lvl and amulets. Would be finishing missions in seconds.

So instead of 20min battles they will be hrs battles. No thanks

Je hebt echt de baard in de keel gekregen. Time flies.

Anyone know if you can new game plus a save file more than once? As in play Ff mode NG+ again with Ultima weapon from the beginning

I just wish they added this difficulty mode as an option from the start. I dont like replaying games. Pretty big miss on their part.

Do the final trials also give an accessory for beating it?

Loved this game so much but why didn’t they make the crafting this important and worthwhile in the first playthrough It feels like you have to beat the entire game to get the true game experience I would’ve loved to play FF mode just from the jump since almost all the enemies were super easy except some optional hunts and the last boss

Has your English gotten better or is it just me hearing your voice change?

I can’t play this game anymore after how the game developers did the Main Characters dirty with the ending. I was depressed all day because of the ending, they did them and us, the fans completely WRONG!!!

Wait, if you skip the prologue, do you still get the trophy for completing FF mode?

Wait i heard the AI changes to more aggressive and now people saying its mostly the same? Or is the AI only diff at ult mode?

FF mode difficulty should’ve been a starting option. The game is was waay to easy and ruins the excitement when getting stronger.

Oh a fellow dutch rpg enjoyer 😮
Rare to find one of us among the fifa/cod people.

Great so I can spend another 50 hours getting my heart broken again with ng+

Ng+ is kinda lame 😒

Is there a ng++ mode where you can play ultimaniac difficulty or is final fantasy mode the final mode for story?

When can we play as Jill though

Best FF game EVER!

Quick tip if you want to platinum the game: GET THE CURIOUSITIES TROPHY BEFORE NG+. It resets all quest progress when you NG+ so if you did them all already and don’t feel like doing them again take your save and finish it up before you NG+ as you are likely only missing 2 curiosities. The fifth to last is the Medicine Chest you get from Tarja after finishing all her quests and giving her some ingame time before talking to her again when she’ll fork it over instead of just normally getting it at quest completion. The very last one is from completing all the /normal/ Chronolith trials which are mostly just a chore and not terribly hard unlike some of the Final Trials. These trials also get way harder in NG+ so def do this in the normal game.

I have a tip for you 😎😎 and it’s grade A use ring of timely focus and titan block and you will get perfect blocks every time, effects the stagger meter and you get nice damage boost

NG+ is actually pretty boring….

The only way to get the Ultima weapon is in Fantasy mode? You can’t get it in easy mode?

God this game looks so much fun

Whats the difference between gotterdamerung and ultima weapon? 😀

Do the enemies scale with ur lvl?

The little pixel icon is so cool when selecting new game+! I absolutely love it!

Can you do multiple NG+ on the same file? And can you NG+ back to an easier difficulty once you beat FF mode? (Bringing The Ultima weapon?)

That Ultima weapon is ugly!

Will NG+ remove the handicap talisman?

I want Transmog on weapons

Ultima sword is soooo ugly 😔

“Completely changes the game”
Cap. It’s just a bit harder and you get ultima weapon at the end

So does anyone want to discuss that ending on FF16?

Can you still use the Timeless accessibility charms on Final Fantasy difficulty?

It’s a real challenge.

How do you do that backwards slide and have the flame sword?

Question: If you beat the game on Story Focused and start the NG+ with the new difficulty, do you get to keep the Timely Accessories, or are those exclusive to Story Focused mode?

do you know xp farming spots early game?

New game plus should have changed enemy ai and attacks for enemies should be more faster or different. It’s just spongey enemies.

The spike in requirements of exp was pretty dumb in ng+, seeing 6mil exp per fight giving like 20% of level felt really weird and bloated for no reason, but overall I was kinda disappointed with ng+ even tho it does way more than some other games that have it, mostly because of enemies being way more spongy and nothing else making the game feel pretty bad imo, I don’t like that kind of “difficulty” at all, most fun part of ng+ for me was probably +1 accessories and playing around with lower cooldowns and more combo paths

So is there enough oricalcum to craft the belt, bracers and the Gotterdamerung in the base game? I just beat the main story and I’m missing pieces to craft the sword and I’ve beat the game and all the bounty hunts.

Please how do we remove damage numbers i hate them

I’m honestly just not a fan of the NG+ in this game. Loved the game itself, but NG+ feels completely pointless. I wanted superbosses and other crazy endgame stuff to work towards. All we get is a higher level cap, accessories, ultima weapon (late, so nothing to use it on), and the same enemies you’ve already fought in your first playthrough, just added earlier.

I’m almost at Titan on NG+, but it just feels like a slog and pointless other than enjoying the combat. I want to like it, but I’m somebody that needs to feel like they’re working towards a goal. NG+ has nothing for me.

Do you get to keep the story mode accessories when going into final fantasy mode?

I can’t wait for ultimaniac mode

The game is still way to easy

It’s a little bit of a shame how late in NG+ you get the Ultima weapon. I think it would have been nice to have it at the start of the 2nd timeskip.

My biggest qualm with this game is that they try to artificially inflate the gameplay time by not allowing you free access to sprinting, come on Yoshi, FreeTheL3 button and let Clive run

No secret cutscene or something in NG+?

If i complete a final fantasy playthrough amd clear save will i be able to do a new game plus on a different difficulty while keeping my ff mode gear or is it exclusive to ff mode?

I’m not going into the final battle not Lvl. 50. Currently lvl 48, slamming out all side missions as they pop up

Please also make a vid on a tierlist on the Eikons next

How long did your first playthru take?

Please SquareEnix, bring all swords from Final Fantasy Tactics War of the Lions and all the other 12 Zodiac Signs, the Lucavi.
Final Fantasy Tactics was my Childhood in PS One.
Sorry by my bad English.

No thanks 😅 I find stuff on my own

Is it just me or Jor’s voice has changed? Haven’t watched this channel for over a year.

Can you make a new game-plus save with a new game plus save

is this game worth it? never really played any of the ff games but i think cloud cool asf
