I am so slacking on this game havent bought it yet and i truly dont know why looks absolutely amazing watched the first 5 6 hours of it everything looks amazing just gotta get it truly don’t know what im waiting for

Apparently I bought this at Launch. Forgot about it and then noticed the game case and the steel book as well. Installed it and played a few hours this morning before crashing for my 6 night work week. Great fun so far and just taking my time with it

Great tips thanks. One tip I’ll add is that you can turn off the motion blur in the settings.

Coming from tales this is refreshing

Yo

How in the name of fatalis can you pronounce charon wrong when it’s said in the game 😂

I switch between Quality and Performance modes depending on the location. Quality mode’s lower FPS actually hurts my eyes when i turn the camera, as the scene is hard to follow whilst moving, but Performance mode gives a smoother experience which i prefer. I use Quality mode when i want to see great scenes in the game 😊

Parrying is odd in this game so imo dodge works so much better

Great tips. Thanks! I just ordered the game after watching this video, primarily because they’ve designed the game to be more action heavy than grind heavy (which almost all modern games are). Games make you grind so much (looking at Diablo 4), just so that they can tempt you with add ons and micro transactions to ease the progress. It just takes the fun away and turns a game into a full time chore. I also like that FF16 is a more linear game compared to a massive open world (also a popular feature of most modern games), because that just takes the focus so much away from the main story that one eventually burns out before ever completing the main story quest. I think Square Enix got it just right in FF16, and am really looking forward to start playing this game.

Late to comment, but for anyone new, don’t sleep on the Wypes ability you get after unlocking Limit Break. The description makes it look weak, but it’s honestly one of the best skills in the game. Deals multiple damage near enemies, no damage from attacks, recharges right after use (meaning you still have it for a while even while it recharges) the ability is absolutely broken but it’s easy to miss because the skill description makes it feel non appealing

Finally, someone explained the difference between the + and ! quests. I’m right before the final mission and still didn’t know the difference, lol. I’m pretty sure it’s the final mission anyways, you never know with rpgs. Could be the “this is my final, final form” tropes, lol.

Three major tips that will help you in combat are to purchase the Tornado Ability, Purchase the Ignition ability And Purchase the Flames Of Rebirth ability. Upgrade these and you will absolutely dominate any combat encounter 👍👍👍 And Yes I Said TORNADO ABILITY LOL 🎉🎉🎉

5:14 30fps is perfectly fine for single player RPGs

Amazing video thanks!!!

Performance mode is way better.

Anyone knows how to do doubl shift?

Rings of timely aka the rings of *I didn’t play dmc5* 😂

This will be my first F.F. Game…noob status .. I’m excited for the story.

Bro MIGHT WANNA CHANGE YOUR LOGO, great video though

Thank you for making this kind of comment!

Help, I need FFXVI tips!

Based on preformence mode not being that stable. I also found quality mode more enjoyable.

Um… quality mode isn’t one of the graphics options

Great information thanks

I had no ideas about the Mastery thing. I’ve been sitting on 2 Mastered skills and didn’t know you could equip them to other bars.

I really think it’s an absolute shame the devs didn’t allow you to equip all 3 abilities to your face buttons. Seriously…they’re only active when holding R2..why did they not allow that? Is Jump really that important to have no matter what?

My main complaint? No outfits, i really wish the game had them. Quality mode is the way to go here. The visual hit you get in perf isnt worth it, its rarely at 60 fps and 30 fps mode is so much more steady. Upscaled 1080p with a couple frame boost, that goes up and down all the time just isnt worth the visual hit. Graphics mode. Perf is just too blurry, the world is too pretty for that.

For a 80$ game is kind of short 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔 stilling people money 😆😆😆😆

a little sad that square enix change FF from a turn base rpg game to an action one, i hope in the future they will bring back an FF chapter as turn base (probably not as Square are pubblishing other turn base game like Octopath with that genre)

The Digital Foundry bit is interesting because I had be wondering about the FPS complaints I’ve been hearing and I have seen almost no issues except a few very rare dips compared to the bouncy FPS I’ve read about. It’s a console, I was fine with it being only 30fps. I only expect games to run high FPS on my beast of a computer.

Thank you. Very helpful 😃👍

can you use the accesories in ng+ hard mode??

BTW, the game using FSR 1was just Digital Foundries conclusion based on telltale artifacts but Square Enix haven’t confirmed one way or the other. Just in case anyone is thinking that the devs can just slot in the latest FSR at some point and get a visual boost.

30FPS is not ok. In any game at all now. This trend needs to stop. Im playing on FPS mode and it is choppy at times.

Just play it, the game is easy af.

the dodge ring will probably be permanently worn as my brain won’t tell me to dodge until after I’ve been hit.

30fps for an action game? 🤮🤮

This game IS A BLAST!

I’ve got a question. I unlocked arcade mode and got S rank on the first mission. I didn’t see any rewards besides maybe bragging rights. Does it actually give you anything?

GOTY so far. If star field dissappoints even a little bit, this is it.

Do you lose score points after the battle if you equipped these help accessories e.g dodging accessory? Because if u do that will effect the quality of rewards

Loving it so far! TOTK or this for GOTY!
