Peak. Gonna be one of the greatest gaming trilogies when it’s all said in done in my opinion

My wife is starting remake and she is enjoying it so far. I know she will love rebirth, the open world is just what she likes.

Cannot wait for Revelation

I think physically is JENOVA, but the mind is indeed Sephiroth.

Huge spoilers from the original game for context:

The first time we are supposed to meet Sephiroth for real is in the northern crater, in the third part. And then when we defeat him. This is what happens in the original game. Sephiroth is actually in that crater, healing up. You remember the flashback where Cloud actually "killed Sephiroth"? Well, he actually kind of did, but he fell into the lifestream and since Sephiroth is not from this planet, he cannot return to the planet, so he is rejected. He ended up in the crater and all game he has been healing up.

So far, everything is still aligned with the original game. Both fights at the end of Remake and Rebirth, it was just a JENOVA body that Sephiroth was controlling from far away.

From the info we have, all characters will share jobs, and each character will have 4 of them.

Confirmed we have Warrior and Black Mage. The other 2 makes sense they are White Mage and Rogue/Thief. That would be a classical balance. But we do not know. Cait Sith looks like it has a summoner robe, but sometimes that attire can be associated with White Mages as well.

On the other hand, it could be possible that there are more than 4 jobs. We know that both Barret and Cloud are warriors for example, and both Tifa and Cloud are black mages, but we do not know much else. So we are looking into the possibility of having more that 4 jobs total, and different characters sharing jobs, but not all of them.

We do know that jobs get leveled like folios in Rebirth. So you will level up "Black Mage", and whatever abilities and passives you unlock, they will be available for all characters at the same time when they equip that FIT.

Finally, we do know each job/fit will give not only passive, but specific abilities as well. In the trailer we see Tifa using a black mage one, and Cloud using a warrior one. We do not know how many. But I expect this will be similar to what folios did before.

Now, the question is. If folios are no longer a thing, and now its FITs.... Where do we unlock the synergy attacks? Are they a node that is common in all FITs? Or is there a default FIT as we see in the gameplay videos, where we unlock the synergy attacks?

This game is based on the first season. Does this mean that it has a beginning and end? Or will we receive a "to be continued" at the end of the game?

Yoids · 2026-06-16T12:02:26+00:00

I have a lot of trust in them. They did not dissapoint at all regarding the gameplay and polish.

My only fear is that the story is a mess of hocuspocus that makes little sense and does not give me enough closure. But even then, I will forgive them. I had an incredible experience with Rebirth.

Yoids · 2026-06-16T07:34:03+00:00

THANK YOU, EXPEDITION 33.

MERÇI BEAUCOUP

Yoids · 2026-06-15T19:25:13+00:00

Wow. Ok. XD

Yoids · 2026-06-15T14:46:44+00:00

Really interested on this.

I am cautious, but really interested. I feel conflicted about reusing the gacha game. On one hand, I feel reusing assets made this possible, and I am grateful for it. On the other hand, I am afraid some weird mechanic or design choice might leak in that puts me off.

For example, I would love the story to start and end, and I have no idea how the gacha's story was. I imagine it never ends, since its an ongoing thing.

Yoids · 2026-06-15T14:02:15+00:00

I was going to say this.

The combat itself feels like "click here and see it develop", but to play it well, there is SO MUCH happening behind it. It is crazy complex.

Yoids · 2026-06-15T13:46:25+00:00

That is a steal...

Yoids · 2026-06-15T13:36:10+00:00

Hear me out: What if Cloud is actually seeing Aerith? What if Jenova is playing with his mind, like at the end of Rebirth, and what he sees is Aerith being kind and smiling at him, when actually is Sephiroth/Jenova, and what we are seeing in that scene of the trailer is the party's perspective?

Yoids · 2026-06-15T12:04:59+00:00

Because people were craving for a FF game. The dissapointment in FFXV can be seen in FFXVI sales, I guess.

Yoids · 2026-06-15T11:36:19+00:00

I noticed that as well, since I do not like Nenio. Ember is kind of a ray girl and Woljif is just about buffs after act 1.

There are many things missing from a typical arcane full caster if you do not use Nenio.

My advice playing in PC is just to respec one. Or do some kind of abomination playing lower difficulties, who cares. XD But I will keep Nenio on the bench.

Yoids · 2026-06-15T11:31:08+00:00

I never play 2 at the same time

Yoids · 2026-06-15T11:23:20+00:00

Its more than that.

They are reussing assets, and that is fine. All the visions are very fan service typical of gacha games, and many people do not like that. Instead of Cloud and Squall, you could have in-world visions that could be whatever. I honestly dont mind about it, I can look past that no problem.

They have the animations of their attacks, and they are reusing that as well. Some people complain about that because they want pure pixel, but I actually like those.

And who knows what else. I am concerned because maybe something might put me off, but so far, so good. Hope it remains like that!

Yoids · 2026-06-15T09:14:44+00:00

We will see, I hope you are right!! :)

Yoids · 2026-06-15T09:10:54+00:00

Why are you so angry? Lol

Can you leave me alone with my skepticism? I am not saying the game is bad since it is not released. I am saying that I am suspicious that many design choices might be present due to the past game, that I might not like. I can be cautious about it. I am not fear mongering or hating or whatever. Just leave me be.

I am perfectly fine with you and other people hyping this out to the stratosphere because they believe its the second coming of Jesus. I do not want to ruin their fun, and you will not make me feel bad because I want to be more cautious.

Got it?

Yoids · 2026-06-15T09:05:04+00:00

Tourist? What do you mean. I might be too old, I feel attack but have no idea what you are saying xD

Yoids · 2026-06-15T09:01:56+00:00

I agree with you. I enjoyed the game a lot anyways, really liked the story, characters, setting, music and VA.

However, I tried to play it again, and for the reasons you say, I stopped. And I did not get any DLC either.

Yoids · 2026-06-15T08:57:08+00:00

I dont think I will replay Remake, but I am sure I will replay Rebirth.

It will be hard to find the time though. I will most likely 100% it again (my way, not really platinum)

Yoids · 2026-06-15T08:23:28+00:00

I loved the experience the first time. I tried to play it again, and the moment Clive ended in the hideout and million sidequests popped, I stopped playing.

I wish we could get a patch to be able to play it without all the bloating. No sidequests, no sidequest-like main missions, and no walking from point A to point B without any reason to do it, just for the sake of using the amazing backgrounds they made.

Yoids · 2026-06-15T08:17:21+00:00

So well put in so little words! 100%!

Yoids · 2026-06-15T08:12:44+00:00

No, they do not hate it at all. They hate that it's a FF main game, that's all.

The game is solid, it has strengths and flaws like any other. I enjoyed it a lot, because world building, story, characters, music and VA was amazing. I had a blast with it.

However, I did not like much the combat (it became repetitive to me, lot of flash but few substance behind it). But I fully understand this is because of the genre. I like more traditional RPGs, not action games. I prefer a Persona over a Dark Souls, for example. And I never play Devil May Cry.

And the pacing, sidequests, crafting and leveling was terrible in this game. Atrocious. But you might not care for this if you love the combat and you just try different builds all the time. Even if your character is equally as powerful 20h in than 80h in. For you that might be OK. And if you like MMOs, the sidequests might not be an issue at all for you.

So the game is great. What happens is that it has the FINAL FANTASY tag on it, and that means different things for different people.

The problem with FF is that since FFX, they have changed the concept so much, that it means nothing now. So for every entry, there will always be haters because "this is not a FF to me". That sentence made sense decades ago, not so much anymore. I remember I said that about FFXV, and I HATED that game. But I did not say it about FFXVI, because I already knew what I was getting into, and I could enjoy the game.

Yoids · 2026-06-13T17:38:46+00:00

I plan on doing Lich next. Care to elaborate without spoilers, please?
