As long as I am here, none of you have to worry that you died. I died to pretty much all the bosses  my hand eye coordination is not what it once were. Damn, getting old 

 

and here I have vowed not to use any healing potions because I'm forced to play on normal.

At 70 hour mark at the very end of the main mission, last one to go ! Doing map and trophy clean up:

 

All side quests completed.. there are some really wonderful ones at the end.. Don't miss.. 

 

All areas unlocked, got the trophy..  

 

7 more hunts to go.. In that 2 S rank hunts.. one S rank will be a pain as there is a one hit kill attack.. need to complete all the hunts to craft a Special Item

 

21/22 Curiosities done.. For the last Curiosity -

 

Spoiler

You have to beat all the 7 time trials  I tried the fire one and failed.. will probably complete this on story mode

 

2 trophies can be done only in NG+ so will leave them for later time..

This is one the finest game i played in a long long time.

The boss fights were epic , combat was smooth , and big boss battles were just eye popping. We need more games like this.

My biggest complaint was sooo many long aXX cutscenes , and on top of that unnesscary time wasted in camera pan shots . also the slow running during open world areas were annoying too.

I am loving this game. Story is really good, music is phenomenal and combat is good. Only complaint I have till now is that the game is really easy and I would have liked the combat to have a bit more depth. It is good, but doesn't have the level of depth which games like DMC have.

Not really honestly. DMC5 is a combo heavy game; almost none of your moves have any form of cool down and can be used in any sequence you want. FF16 is more perfected through skill and time based and it's not only focused on creating a combo sandbox the way DMC5 is. FF16 abilities make a greater impact on gameplay and encourage more on the fly strategy. FF16 abilities do string into each other extremely well, and a combo game does exist, but the entire game is not dedicated to that one singular aspect. Easy to learn, hard to master. 

They're ultimately going for very different things, which is good. DMC5 basically perfected combo focused action design; there's no need for the genre to continue and try to do the same thing over again. I'm glad FF16 is trying something new.

I guess the problem for me is that the game is very easy which doesn't require you to experiment much. They definitely should have unlocked the highest difficulty at the start.

Can you give example of how this works? Are they complimentary abilities? Which benefit by stringing them together a la Diablo 4.

 

SE can make some good systems but I have no idea what they did here.

You might have to check out some gameplay videos man, explaining the combat will be interminable, why not try the free demo? (If you have a PS5) 

I'll post some of my gameplay videos later. If you've played DMC5 then you'll immediately figure out the combat in this one. 

As goes for SE they have done a marvelous job. Feeling so attached to a game's world and characters. Buttery smooth combat with insane graphics.

Don't have a ps5 lol. 

 

I thought it was DMC esqe, but then I saw a video where you have to fill a meter that goes all the way to level 5. You can charge it up faster by doing certain actions. 

 

I don't think DMC works like this. This in on point for SE though, almost impossible to wrap your head around by checking in game descriptions. Always have to refer a guide.

You're talking about Limit Breaks (The Yellow Color 4-5 Bars that you saw)? Yeah, that's not for every encounter, and you can ignore it till you find tough enemies. What it does is - with every hit you land on every enemy - the bar fills up a little bit. You can use Limit Breaks when at least 1 bar is full (Though it's recommended that you wait till all the bars are full). When you activate Limit Break (L3+R3 on controller), your movement speed and hitting speed drastically increases. Your Damage also increases. Plus every hit that you land will regenerate a little bit of your health. The bars keep on decreasing when Limit Break is active. When all the bars are empty Limit Break ends. 

 

It's easy, and becomes 2nd nature when you're actually playing the game. What's more challenging is to decide which skills you actually want to set and level up. Having a proper skill set up, and using it wisely can easily mean you deal double or more damage than using skills randomly or using skills that are not that useful.

That's Svarog right? Finally somehow finished him off today. Was a very intense fight. The next S Rank Hunt you get is child's play compared to him. Finally I've got 3 Orichalcum for the weapon upgrade. But don't know where to get the remaining items yet.

Yeah I finished him off today too.. kept it as the last hunt.. just need to be careful on his one hit attacks.. rest are manageable.. 

 

Keep doing all the Hunts, you will get what you needed to craft that legendary sword.. wait till you get the recipe of it..

[Assassins Creed]

Aaaaaand Finished !!!

 

EPICNESS written all over it.. This is peak gaming cinematic experience ever and would go down as one of the greatest games ever made  The background music, Boss Fights, Epic Cutscenes were high light for me.. Only let down were the amount of side quests.. The Monster Hunts were Awesome !! 

 

 

Squeezed up everything on the map.. Left 3 trophies for later.. Doing another NG+ right away would be insane..

Even DMC5 had the same type of Limit Break called Devil triggers and Sin Devil triggers. The devil triggers which has the regular kind which is charged by inflicting and taking damage, or by collecting white orbs, but he also has access to a more powerful Sin Devil trigger. To charge the Sin version you'll need to press a button (forgot which one), which will then transfer everything in your regular Devil trigger gauge into your Sin gauge.

 

FF16 and DMC5 has quite mainline similarities.
