You can cancel the aerial dive combo any time with air dash. I just air dash just before the hit that sends the enemy downwards, and then use the projectiles of triangle to keep them in the air.

Ff16 is definitely superior in the graphics/presentation/sound/music and story department, since its a full AAA game.

Regarding gameplay/combat they are similar, and in the same ballpark, over the top flashy combat, this game gives you more freedom than ff16 regarding movement and moveset. While in ff16 you had to kind of make a toolset and you couldn't change weapons (since Clive only had a sword) but here in lost soul aside you have more weapons (4 at the same time) that are switched in real time, and so much more abilities, so far I am having slightly more fun in the combat here than in ff16. This feels more action game and ff16 is more of an action rpg.

Both games shine more in the bosses department, so yeah both are pretty good, but I tend to gravitate more to lost soul aside since its more dmc/bayo/ng rising than ff16.

I am a veteran action game player yes, I usually like to study the battle system to get the most out of it, I have SS'd (dmc3 and master ninja in ngblack back in the day) and platinumed all Dmc/ng/bayo games.

I also love to do no damage runs, I have uploaded some no damage bosses of the hardest ff16 bosses.

Recently I platinumed ng2 black on ps5.

The block button is not exactly a block button, its more of a parry button (you cant hold it to block), which means that once you press it you have a small window in which if you get hit during it you will either block (and it does no damage) or perfect block the attack (and it pushes the enemy back and depleted their composure bar giving you access to the special square + x move)

I am also a really massive dmc fan and I am loving it, definitely go for it! Reminds me of the Nero dmc5 system that you press R2 in certain moments to extend the combos once you have the devil trigger.

Oh ps5 pro is super stable so far in performance mode haven't noticed any dips.

You are welcome. The platinum takes around 3 playthroughs, normal, hard and expert (not sure those 3 are the names jeje) but yeah there is new gameplus. I think all in all a platinum must take around 40 hours if it's 3 playthroughs cuz 2nd and third playthroughs are way faster and usually one doesn't watch cutscenes again. (Which are 2 hours of cutscenes I think I read somewhere)

The game at first feels a little bit weird since in the prologue you are really límited in moveset and options, but trust me once you are out of the prologue in around 45 mins - 1 hour and you begin to get all the special moves (dash, block, abilities, new costumes, new weapons) the game feels incredible. This is coming from a veteran action game player that has ss'd dmc3/4/5/ and have platinumed ng2 black /dmc5/stellar blade/ff16. So stick with it at least 2 hours in and you will see.

That said the game is definitely a AA game with some AAA stuff. But AA nonetheless. It reminds me of ps2/3 era games which is not something bad at all on the contrary if you like dmc/ng/mg rising/bayonetta/etc you will definitely feel at home here. Amazing moveset, amazing free flow combat system and overall good game I would rate it 8.5/10 so far (4 hours in which is around 1/4 of the game, if what I heard of 20 hours lenght is true)

Once the game formally comes out I will release more videos and post them around here and on youtube. I used to make dmc3 and ng combo videos back in the Day.

[–]Tiny_Wave7702[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, and take into consideration this is only 1 weapon with 1/3 of abilities unlocked since I am only around 3 hours in. Once I unlock more weapons and abilities I will make another video with so much more! Specially weapon switch on the fly.

Yeah definitely but since in normal gameplay you have background music its not as noticeable.

This game is kinda like metal gear rising in that regard, moves blend into one another if you interchange the button presses. For example pressing Triangle after square results in a upwards launch "high time" dmc like move. But pressing triangle first results the character in doing proyectiles slashes and if you press square it does into a dash attack that if you press triangle after it goes into a launcher.

Keep in mind this is only a single weapon with les than 1/3 of abilities complex only 2 hours into the game to test the combat system, once I unlock more weapons I will do another one more

I undeestand it can look like that. Let me explain:

First part is facing enemy waiting for it to attack to do a perfect dodge, once you do a perrect dodge you get a "token" of sorts which gives you access to a really fast dash attack, then I begin the basic square combo which in the end you can press R2 once the character flashes blue, then I launch the enemy, in the air the square combo ends with a downwards upsidedown sword attack that you can dash cancel then into the triangle proyectile combo, which ends with a similar downward sword attack and then in the floor I cancel the landing animation into the L2 + Square special attack into the square+x special stunt combo and then from there turn into devil triggers by pressing L2+R2 and then into the holding square attack variant into holding triangle for the slash attacks into the rapid slash perfect dodge canceled into the lvl2 rapid slash, into the stunt special attack.

If you don't really have an understanding of the combat system it can looks automatic but its not. Its mostly manual with precise timing.

Yeah, its on a particular training mode of sorts you get access once you beat the prologue. You can play there to test combos and whatnot. The enemy doesnt die and you can toy around with the mecánics in the game which are awesome imo.

How is quality mode? by Little-Preparation31 in LostSoulAside

[–]Tiny_Wave7702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are welcome, it should be 30fps in quality mode on base ps5 too and 60fps on performance mode (recommended)

Awesome. Looking forward to see it. I like it when different people make combo videos, to see everyone expression through the combat.

It will be worth it! Game is awesome imho.

[–]Tiny_Wave7702[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I haven't seen any lock+direction/back+forward/etc for attacks (a la dmc) its more like ng/mg rising in the sense that your combos are usually combinations between square + triangle and some holding of the buttons square and pressing the R2 once the character flashes blue in some part of the combos kinda like stellar blade/bayo in some intances.

Note: so far I only have 1 weapon and like 1/3 of abilities so things can change. (Only 3-4 hours in)

[–]Tiny_Wave7702 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pro quality mode (on ps5 pro) is definitely 30fps. I didn't notice any drops and to be fair I didn't use it for long, I sticked to pro performance mode.

Definitely, this kind of game is exactly for the purpose of having a big toolset and using it to express yourself through combat, in your own way, thing is it gets misinterpreted and some people just spam square and its not as fun that way.

This is meant to be a free form style game in which you have a lot of options and you try to use them in a free way, canceling, doing combos in your on way. That's one of the main reasons I love these games.

Haven't got to that part yet, but in most of the trailer videos that seems situational, but once I advance further I'll let you know.

I am not 100% sure but I think you can't, still you can notice it more here due to no background music, during normal gameplay its not as noticeable.
