The modern day turn based final fantasy that a lot of us have been waiting decades for. Hope it turns out good.

Wow the premise is so cool. The painter paints death every year taking loved ones away, the general populace fights to kill this figure so she can't paint death again.
Both sides seems they need to win and lose at the same time, good story for a Persona style gameplay.

2026 at the very least if the gameplay was real.

It looks fantastic. The art direction and music are top notch.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I thought the original trailer looked fantastic, graphics looked amazing...but after closer inspection there's something ruff and the the graphics.
Looks great at distant, but up close I'm not so sure.
I've using the screenshots from PSN as reference btw.

Looks great. The music is fantastic.
They should add some idle animations to the characters during battle because they just stand there

Not really for me.
Also somehow when I hear the conversations I can picture the actors in the sound booth. Something is missing there..

Fun fact : the trailer on Sandfall Interactive or IGN youtube channel don't feature the "putain". Only on Playstation channel xD

I read and watch some preview. I was curious about the combat and especially the whole Dodge or Parry mechanic.
Dev said they took inspiration from Sekiro and its deflect mechanic.
You can parry or dodge any attack and so "do a no hit run" of the game.
If you parry a whole combo, you get a counter attack. Dodging is easier (bigger window) than Parrying.
But so far I don't really see any downsides (which is one of my complaint about Sekiro on my first run actually) about it so I am bit perplex.
If you succeed you get action point (use for attacking) but it looks like it cost you nothing to try dodge or parry.
Maybe you take more damage if you fail it rather than just doing nothing. I'd like to know more about that system.

Looks fantastic IMO, still at the top of my most anticipated list (and honestly looks more exciting than anything from Sony or MS first party )
Love the underwater environment here, I like the character designs and the combat looks fun, reminds me of Persona with those stylish menus and Legend of Dragoon / Lost Odyssey with those timed based attacks.
Hopefully the story, pacing and level design are just as good.
If I had to nitpick something I'd look into streamlining some elements to try and make the game flow a bit faster.
Like when you enter combat let's just skip the intro animation of him swinging his sword and jump straight into the combat
Same at the end of fights, look at how lots of newer JRPG just skip the end of fight summary and put you right back into the game world (then give you the summary on the side as gameplay resumes).
It's small details but ones that start to add up over time
As far as I know this is more of AA project by a smaller team. There is a blog update on their site from 2023 where they celebrate the team growing from 12 to 22 people.
I think it's a great example of how newer tech is allowing smaller teams to make impressive looking games, but it's not some $300 million AAA project, it's likely still going to be a bit rough around the edges in terms of presentation and animation.

Awesome trailer. Turn based, nice visuals/music and the female character designs look good. Is this the 2000s?

I really like everything i see here, except the scales/proportions of the heads and bodies, is it me or they have huge heads and/or tiny bodies?
Probably camera angle.
(game looks awesome anyway)

This is what I'm also curious about. I feel like this is a kind of battle system where if parrying is too easy/risk-free it may undermine the combat. Hopefully they'll show some mid and end-game enemies where parrying is a big challenge with big risks if not timed right. I like just about everything else I'm seeing though so I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one.

I was under the impression that Ben Starr was the voice actor for who seems to be the main protagonist so I'm a little disappointed but the gameplay seems right up my alley so Day Fucking One

Yes I agree.
If the enemies change often and with that the timing or have some tricks timing it could work well.
Otherwise I am scared it will kill any sense of danger during fights

Its actually one of the things that I love about the game.
Its got a sorta animereal look to the characters.
Big heads, small hands, larger eyes.
It makes the game unique, youll always know what game a character is from just by looking at the proportions.
