Pressing R3 circle between locked targets, but when thers alot of enemies i find it easier to just not use the lock on and phoenix shift in the direction of the target i want to attack using the left thumbstick in the direction where the enemy is, then i just use the target lock on the boss

This is the first japanese game I play with english dub, and I didn't even notice it. Really well done.
Loved that the game doesn't have high pitch anime girl. Dialogue is good too, it doesn't feel cringe like other JRPG.

To be fair FF games are generally more Westernised than most JRPG's so it kinda fits in tone

Playing on Graphics mode (30 fps) and really loving the game's frantic combat and the more mature characters, writing and quality voice-acting which all help make me more invested in both the story and what happens to the characters. The game's linear structure and small areas navigated via a map actually remind me a lot of Dragon Age Origins on PC.

I played FF7 remake and the dialogue is cringe as hell tho.

Have reviews said how long it is? I haven’t read s single one. Fuck, I can’t remember the last time I’ve read a review.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Between 30-40 hours seems like a normal play through. Several people reporting here and the review thread on GAF saying 35. I imagine more if you're looking to do all the side quests and max everything out.
I absolutely love the map. Clearly GOT inspired but it’s perfectly executed, and drop dead gorgeous, one of the best world maps ever.
It does make the world feel kinda small though lol, when you walk only 100m on a forest from point A to B and then realise it is represented by a massive distance on the map lmao

that seems low for a FF game, no?

Nah. Here's HowLongToBeat's average "main game only" playtime for the previous mainline games (minus 11 and 14 which are faaaar longer because they're MMOs)
1 - 16.5
2 - 23.5
3 - 17.5
4 - 22
5 - 32
6 - 35
7 - 36.5
8 - 40
9 - 39
10 - 46
12 - 40.5
13 - 48
15 - 28
35-40 hours puts this one in the sweet spot where 6, 7, 8, and 9 all are (ie, the best ones).

Heard yesterday that the game can overheat launch ps5s that haven't been cleaned. Came across this YouTube video that may help my blue GAF bros.

One of the thing I found very weird about this game is that many of the best female designs are not main chars. Since the game other than some combat moves and certain boss fights are so much closer to Western RPG style, why not let the player to choose their romantic partners like other western RPGs anyway, it would likely make the non boss fight moments a lot better than what they have.

Yeah, IMO these are very generous figures for just "main game only". These games can be long if you mess around and get off focus often, but if just following the main beat these games are not insanely long or anything. I just beat II, III, V, VII and VIII in the past months and those numbers don't reflect my playtime at all (those numbers are a lot higher, especially for V, VII, and VIII). Their number for FF III is the closest to my actual playtime for main game completion. I'd expect this to be a 20-30 hour game at best for just main game, probably more like 30-40 if you meander and get caught up in some shinies on the way. Who knows for completion though.

I've played up to the end of the second demo part so far. Aside from the diversity stuff, I feel reviews were too generous. This is not a 9/10 game. IMO, more like an 8 at best. I never thought I would say this but I kind of prefer VII Remake's combat over XVI's.
On the plus side, the music is really good. That track that plays when you're in Cid's hideout seemed like it was straight out of a 90's fantasy series like Lodoss.

Another thing to keep in mind is that apparently this game has about 11 hours of non-interactive cutscenes. So - that's obviously going to pad out the playtime as well unless you skip them all.

How does remote play work on phones? I think I may try and do this while upstairs or at work. I want to try and keep on it. It's got me thinking about it which means I have a lot of interest.

Go to remote play in the PS5 settings. It walks you through it.

630 and Walmart is still "preparing". Starting to be convinced it's going to be a tomorrow thing... But wish they would say so that I don't hold out any more hope. Sigh. Last day before my wife gets back was hoping to really dive in tonight and early morning tomorrow! 
Ah well so be it.

Game is super crisp and snappy. Like I said in the demo thread, performance mode all the way.
I can see some drops here and there but overall is butter smooth for me. And looks really good.
Combat is fucking awesome. When you go precision evade and parry, it really steps up a notch.
And the fight right after where the demo ended...

She really does look like Zidane.Zidane from FF9 is in this game too:

I replayed the intro portion (the demo basically) and another 4 hours or so and I really am having a great time. It's too early to say if it's going to be my favourite FF but I can clearly see that, for my tastes at least, it's the first GREAT single player FF that we have got since XII...and that was more than 15 years ago?
Performance mode is a mess though, I don't see how Yoshida thought we initially wouldn't need a day-1 patch...unless he never promised 60fps in the first place. Only other complaint I can have so far is that it's true that the RPG elements aren't really that big a deal this time around.
All in all, the story is great so far, music is awesome, voice acting is great, world is gorgeous and everything just feels right.
You know it's a great day when a new Final Fantasy comes out and it becomes an "event" like it used to before. Yoshi-P and Kitase have both managed to bring back Final Fantasy into greatness once again with 16 and 7 Remake project.
We eating good!

I tried tybe B but i think is too much for the shoulder buttons, so i switched again to A
She almost looks like a fusion of Zidane and Kuja.Zidane from FF9 is in this game too:

I'm more or less asking how functional it is. If it's playable.

Love it so far - my only issue is when you talk to side characters the lip syncing/graphics there are a pretty a jarring step down from the rest of the game. Like the lip syncing is worse than a bethesda game in those moments. Other than that just doing the main quest largely, has been very fun/compelling

Played 4 hours, its awesome. Quality mode is great, looks and runs well and the HDR is just god tier. I think this might be the best looking HDR title out there. Also im digging the sidequests, yes its mmo fetch quest but i love the VA and the world building around them. English VA in general is superb

If you want more like this, play FFXIV

Can someone comment on the combat. Is it fun? Easy to learn?
I'm really interested in the graphics and story of the game but the DMC type combat looks overwhelming to me.

I was thinking here: maybe those who are facing overheating problems are playing in Performance Mode
Everyone that play games on PC knows that when framerate is unlocked, it uses more from the GPU/CPU.
Maybe with the game caped at 30 it keeps the PS5 cooler
Just a thought
Sphere Hunter encountered overheating problems, and I'm 100% sure she is a 60 fps over 30 person

It is.
Since you aquire abilities throughout it actually has a nice learning curve and allows you to gradually learn moves and combine them.

Yes to both. It is really fucking good. Square has one of the best action games in their library right now.

This game is fucking insane. The quality of everything here is just off the charts. I came into it kind of expecting the story to be just serviceable but it is much better than I was expecting.
Game is a true next gen showpiece with its graphics. There are moments that I will just sit back and just take in the environment. Not only is it just visually stunning, the sound design is also incredible.
Ok enough gushing, back to playing.

I'm right there with you.. Walmart has yet to update me. Still says today.. but I bet they will change it tomorrow around 9-10. Seems like it's a delivery from the store and not postal. I've had this happen once before. Mannn this sucks.

So far no issues at all on performance mode. But I'm still early in the game.
