From the trailers there are more examples. The odin clip reminds me of Coloussus of Rhodes and that giant fucking thing ifrit fights even gave me Chronos Vibes.

I miss when final fantasy was actually final fantasy.

DMCV should have just been a Bloody Palace mode from the start and saved us the chore of running from ugly room to ugly room.It's not really a DMC clone either. The combat bits, sure, but I expect there to be more to the game. Towns, sidquests, some light exploration, gear, etc
DMC, 5 in particular, is basically just going from one combat encounter straight into the other.

I can see it. I love Persona 5 because it was so similar to Pacman.

Totally. It almost felt like a sequel. Atlus sure knows how to pay respect to the OGs in the video game world
OP, what you said was obvious and I agreed, but sadly you got piled on from most people here.
Fortunately for you though, we now have confirmation saying just as much and it’s coming straight from the horse’s mouth…
“Can you talk a little bit about some of the games that have maybe inspired or influenced the development of Final Fantasy 16? So personally I see a little bit of God of War and The Witcher, and I'm curious if they were references for you while you were developing it.
Yoshida: I love the two games, especially God of War. The craziness of the boss battles in God of War, when it was a more traditional action game, is just... The game design is so different for each stage, and the boss is so unique, everything is made with power, and you can feel the power. So, while I personally also really like the most recent God of War games, I look back further to the original God of Wars, and especially the boss battles in those, how the boss battles are all crazy, they're all different designs for each, they're all unique, they're all over the top, and in getting inspiration from that and creating our Eikon versus Eikon battles to kind of have that same feel.”

God of War didn't invent set pieces.
Actually, maybe it did, idfk.
But it wasn't the patent holder or anything.

I'm completely turned off by all of this. This is just like the last two single player entries, it's more Not-Final-Fantasy™. I'll try to keep an open mind but it just seems like
{insert code here}

Is it known if the damage output display can be turned off? It would play much better in my opinion if the screen wasn't cluttered with all those integers relentlessly popping on the screen. If it is indeed GoW4 then my hype meter is going to explode.

My reaction when people compared the original God of War trilogy to DMC.
It's not really a DMC clone either. The combat bits, sure, but I expect there to be more to the game. Towns, sidquests, some light exploration, gear, etc
DMC, 5 in particular, is basically just going from one combat encounter straight into the other.
DMC5 level design is atrocious, not only from an artistic standpoint but because it has to be one of the most linear games I've played in a long time.

I wish a FF would be able to adapt some of GoW most recent gameplay. And with that I mean environmental puzzles and dungeon design with some basic platforming. Do we have any confirmation 16 has it? From what I expect it’ll be again a typical jrpg with gameplay strictly limited to battles. I really don’t understand why they never try to give us something more gamey here and there :/
It’ll still be the best FF in more than a decade but!!!

I'd say in 25 min gameplay topic:
"The icon vs icon fight part was really cool... What I originally expected from GOW Ragnarok fights on a huge scale (just F* imagine it)"
when we see lazy ass woke dev get fired

What are you even talking about? I get your previous sentence, and definitely agree it has the set pieces, but what is this last statement supposed to be?
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
I feel like people here purposely misread or misinterpret things just to get mad and gatekeep.
Happens in many of my threads too lol
It’s blatantly obvious OP is saying this game is the EVOLUTION of what a god of war 4 COULD HAVE been had they stayed with the traditional PS3 style games.
And that’s simply in regards to BIG epic boss battles and SCALE. New GOW is dialed back in that sense. A GOW4 would have been GOW3 on steroids.
Instead we have folks going nuts talking about “it’s not even over the shoulder hahaha” and completely missing the entire point.
how is that hard for so many people to understand without getting triggered.
We are talking about this game being the evolution of god of war 3. In terms of scale. Simple. It playing more like dmc in terms of visual style and combat is besides the point
