What I got from that guys video is that you have the option to slow it down and gain more control over the battle.
I cant really say to what extent, cuz I haven't played the demo myself; but I'm optimistic I'm one of the guys that would have had no problem with FF games keeping the old school combat system; but I understand the need to speed things up and make it faster and more action-y. You're always trying to attract new players, and sometimes that brings about a change in direction |

So I've just finished Final Fantasy VI, and it's the only game from the SNES/Famicon era that I've played. Was well impressed.
There was only so much you could do with 16 bit animations, and still, the game is visually stunning even for today. Also did not mind the leveling system and having to equip Espers to boost stats and learn spells, despite many complaints about it. I kind of liked having to keep track of many things and switching the Espers around. It's one of those things I generally enjoy about FF games, the work involved and the rewards gained. I will however say that I do wish there were superbosses in the game that you needed really high stats to beat. All of the Legendary dragons were really not "Legendary" and quite easy to beat. And Doom Gaze was a joke. Other than that, they really created an amazing story with each character having depth and motivations. Not to mention an excellent villain. |

I love the fact that you have so many characters...and none of them is the "main protagonist" of the story, unlike what happens in pretty much all the other entries of the series. Who is your favourite character? Mine is Celes And the Opera House segment is perfect. And Kefka is brilliant, and so is the soundtrack. Aaaaannnnddddd... ...no, ok, I'll stop but I could easily go on. Some people consider VI to be the best FF, and they have some good reasons to do so. |

Square always excels in the visuals department, so I am more interested in how it feels control-wise. It seems like it has elements from XII, XIII and XV, to name only a few, and I honestly hope it doesn't borrow that much from XV |

I honestly didn’t expect to see so much in that trailer. It was literally my childhood game coming to life with updated graphics. The mini games, the dressing up for the Don, the turning into a frog in the sewers. Etc. it was all just perfect. And I actually don’t mind the voice actors. I’m just so ecstatic. I cannot wait to see the gold saucer when it comes.

I'm playing FF8 remastered currently (in the middle of disc3) and i'm a recent fan of the series I started playing the games after FF15 (which I loved at the time but now after playing multiple entries I think is the worst from what I played).
I have this question: what do we think of FF8? I dunno guys I loved 7 and 9 but 8 is just too boring to me I don't know why. After the Edea being their matron or whatever reveal it just got all boring to me. It lacks that oomph that 7 and 9 had. and the junction system is just stupid. I like Zell though, he's cute always makes me laugh |

I enjoyed VIII better after playing the Remaster. When I was a kid it was my favorite before X came out, then X became my favorite and is still the best Final Fantasy IMO.
VIII was very focused on the love story between Squall and Rinoa, which I love but at times can feel super cheesy. The love story between Yuna and Tidus and X was a lot more, put together I think is how I would describe it. The gameplay in VIII in regards to junctioning etc I did not like. I prefer having MP for magic, and things like that. I ended up Platinuming it because the Remaster is way more fun to play than the OG. Still a fun FF, but X by far has the best of everything if you have not played it yet. I was utterly disappointed in XV. |
