What are your thoughts about the FFXVI demo? (lemmy.world)

I played it two days ago and can't get it out of my head. I absolutely love the premise and it truly feels like a dark fantasy.

Combat was really fun and voice acting was super solid. I was really excited about the game before but now I am fully on board.

What are your impressions?

Finished the demo and I agree with most of the praise for the game so far. I'll be picking it up for sure. Combat was a lot of fun and a big improvement over 7R. The music was top tier, but FF games always seem to be great in that regard.

I'll just probably wait for a few patches to roll out first.

The demo felt like it had some serious performance issues. Graphics mode worked well but I don't know if I'd like playing such a fast paced game at 30 fps. An option to turn down the excessive motion blur would be appreciated too. The performance mode was just a mess. I feel like this game would be a prime candidate for a 40fps/120hz mode.

I can agree on the performance dipping quite a bit in traversal. Locking it to 40 would make the most sense with the current performance but I hope we can get a bit more squeezed out before the launch!
