Make the eikon transformation basically a devil trigger lmao

Dude i just noticed in one of the Eikon battles Garuda cuts off Ifrit's arm.

I am soooo ready for the epic summon fights

I'm not a fan of style-fighters.
Hoping that the game makes more use of FF7R's combat options than it does FF15's

BG seems to have a ton of DMC fans though so I wouldn’t be surprised if it is a huge concern for the JRPG purists as well as FF casuals. Ya know what I mean?

The rest of us here can’t wait to go currrrazzzzzzzy with it lol.

Sounds like they're getting devil triggered.

Call me purist, but I grow weary of turn-based RPGs largely being banished to watered down, shitty mobile games.

[Lucavi]

Yeah, this game isn't going to be for me, but I hope it does very well. I can enjoy things from a distance, while not having to play them. I'll be over here playing my TRPG indie games until Matsuno gets to make a new Ogre Battle, and cheering XVI on from the sidelines.

I'd be happy if this leans more towards KH style combat and less DMC

You look at the trailer and the guy working on combat, that ain't happening lol

What do you mean? There lots of good turn based RPGs coming out on console/PC?

[Gokulo]

Exactly, sometimes people act as if because FF is not doing it anymore, the turn-based genre died completely

Yeah definitely getting that vibe. I trust Yoshi-P though, the man is gonna deliver

Humor me and name some of the big ones of the past 5 years. Bonus points if they aren't aesthetically garbage like Undertale.

[Gokulo]

SMTV
Persona 5 Royal
Yakuza Like a Dragon
Monster Hunter Stories 2
Atelier Ryza 1&2
Octopath Traveler
Trails games
DQXI (pretty old at this point but fits your 5 year period)
Ruined King (haven't played it but it seems to be getting very good reviews)
Bravely Default 2
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore

Divinity Original Sin 2

Everything Gukolo said plus World of Final Fantasy, Wasteland 3, Pathfinder, South Park Fractured But whole,

[Elcura]

They're out there, it's just not mainstream as much as it once was. Or at least you need to put more effort into getting people interested. But hell, I wouldn't ignore shit like Undertale just because it's "ugly" and complain there's no good RPGs.

But as for FFXVI, let's go full on DMC I'm ready and I can't wait.

[Xno Kappa]

World of Final Fantasy is crazy underrated for what it is.

If you can’t get past Undertale’s “ugliness” than WoFF’s adorable and wholesome aesthetic might be more to your liking. Could scratch the itch for a turn-based FF game.
