Eyes on Final Fantasy - Extended Trailer and Gameplay Trailers (original) (raw)

Its honestly looking pretty good despite a few questionable changes.

For the combat video, ignoring the obnoxious hype man, combat has some potential. I was curious to see how certain mechanics would work, and while I feel the Remake is going to follow the original and make magic under perform over Limit Break abilities, it has a nice medium between being a ARPG with some actual command based actions. My only real concern so far is that the Scorpion Armor boss fight really seemed like it was dragging in places, making me fear the game is going to go a bit overboard with cinematics and played out events during boss battles in the hopes of raising tension. The video kept skipping forward a lot throughout the fight, and I'm thinking to myself how I could have probably beaten the original version in the half the time frame as this video.

I know the game will only cover Midgard, but I'm kind of concerned this means the game is going to suffer from some design issues I've witnessed over the years from SE. Either this game is going to get overloaded with silly side content much like FFXV was, or they're going to pull a FFX/XIII and over-emphasize everything to stretch out this plot much longer than they need to, meaning we might get bogged down with drawn out boss battles and characters repeating themselves a bit too much. Granted, its difficult to tell from just a trailer. We'll find out next year it seems.

Also, I'm not really digging the arrangement for Fight On!/Those who Fight On. It needs that heavier rock and roll sound.
