Thank you Brando , you made me spend way to much , for a game that had ... questionable review ... yet again. (My wallet hates you) But what can i say except...CHAOS
What's with that scene though? It feels like the inn keeper has a thing for Jack and Jack doesn't want to admit that he has a thing with the inn keeper. lol
I FUCKING love how lack cuts through the bullshit. So many RPGs are all about people sorting out their emotions. I love to see that. I want more straightforward stories with plot action like this.
Get better bait bro....if you truly think it's better which you're a faceless troll coward make a video on it. Instead of spamming it on a good review of this game.
THANK YOU for highlighting Tsuda as Jack. I honestly don't think SOPFFO would work as well as it does without his inimitable gravel. I was iffy on the demo but then I heard his voice and whoomp pre-order done. Great video.
Your video has definitely gotten me intrested in the game! I love the cringey dialogue and while I have only played Nioh 1, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with that game!
Your penalty for dying is losing your Max MP and getting it reset to 200 (Two bars) from whatever it was. You can get it back though (Before possibly dying again) by finding an orb of red smoke usually right where you died.
In Nioh you could transfer the random bonuses from one item to another, so there were uses for them. Here, all the gear's abilities are basically set. It's just keeping the Nioh drop system even though equipment is way different and simpler now, so that's weird.
yall forgot that there will be (they are out already atm) 3 dlcs like TN does for all their games, with new mechanics, difficulties etc. first playthrough is basically a tutorial with the majority of the options locked.
@@tristanward9937 I liked this more. Because the parrying system is also a resource so you are rewarded more for good timing, but aren't punished completely by bad timing. It feels like you get to learn better. Also a lot of the abilities and spells in Wo Long felt tacked on and useless. Jobs in this game are simple, but each of their abilities feels like it has a purpose.
I was very hyped for this game prerelease. Loved the early 2000s edgy Shadow the Hedgehog-like vibe. The first demo was fun for me (no problem) and I love FF games with a class system. They basically made my dream game.
the inventory limit is still 500, you have 4000 reserves storage that you can move items into at a cube or at the world map, you are able to desyth from both so it shows 4500.
@@Rohgamu story, characters, world and gameplay are all awesome. The ending was especially interesting The loot system can’t be enjoyed until max level, since you keep levelling up SO fast. Don’t get to strategise your gear.
Man Japan didn't have to give the protag the coolest voice actor in the history of humanity! This guy is a God and imma have to play this on Japanese if I ever buy this game 🤣
On high level, you can recovery mp by using the special ability on specific jobs. You can build unlimited mp with only 1 s casting is also possible. The fact that you can’t really cheat through bosses aren’t something Soul games tend to have since they don’t use other systems that work to encounter it and you can just break the game for ppl with your build (which will eventually get down to the hill if ppl start to just following one formula of build)
oh thank god you have the audio in japanese. thats a subscribe from me, THANK YOU. that aside i cant believe how there is basically 0 coverage of this game's story from anywhere. there's pretty much only your video talking about the story and I cant fathom why. it makes it so hard for someone like me who cant afford the game just yet but would still like to know more about the story, not caring about spoilers. literally no one talks about this game lol
I got 15 hours into this game but the absurdly high drop rate of trash gear is hurting me, it's draining my vigor to have to keep deleting them. Omg, you're on the loot part, thank you!
@@vault29a I love the game, it's genuinely an amazing a-rpg. That doesn't mean I won't pretend the loot system isn't a waste of time. The game didn't launch with auto-filter firstly but it's been patched in. Secondly, in between every level you have to go into the menu and change the parameters, no big deal. The problem comes when you're trying to select an appropriate level for the gear, at least when you're playing thru the main game and leveling up. Even if you perfectly approximate what level to select, you're still getting dozens of trash gear that you need to manually delete after each mission. Opening treasure chests shouldn't invoke dread, it should be excitement. With that said, it absolutely doesn't ruin the game for me, it's a fast paced, strategic rpg and I love it. But I won't pretend the loot system isn't irritating.
Better to remain silent and be tought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt, that's my opinion on Jack. Also, the fact that Doom guy does not speak and let's his actions do the talking makes a world of difference. Regardless, I really enjoy your videos.
This is the first I heard that a main dev from PS5 Strikers worked on this and that makes so much sense. Very little of the gameplay reminds me of DS games. And it's not as frantic as DMC/Bayonetta, but there's definitely a quick flow to combat.
Thanks for the loot drop tip. I been enjoying this game. Btw version 1 graphics was buggy with the 500 storage. Now version 1.01 is the better version that smooth out most issues. This game as a whole is good game. Update: 1.02 is alittle let down with online multiplayer infinity moving death loop and collision on area such as the flying fortress sent emenies to the shadow realm. Btw the glitch can only be fix in boss area. Plus some boss do a spawning uplift in some of their animation. When in the loop the player can sometimes move instant kill emenies and can't be revive by potions or save cube. Maybe just that alot of people not having 1.02 or something. Kind of remind me of Tiny Tina new boarderland game.
I've been busy with work but the small time i spent with the latest demo really pushed me into wanting to buy it once i finish triangle strategy. I'm still surprised it's already out it feels like they just announced it the other day but maybe i just don't follow the right people and news stuff so i missed it's other trailers. Hopefully there is some dlc or they update the game once or twice maybe some non canon boss fights of villians/protags of other ff games
In my eyes this review was glowing enough to make me pick up the game. A question to anyone who played/are playing it, I saw the review had both English and Japanese voices, which one is better or are they about the same.
I remember when "Give Me Chaos" song kicked in on TH-cam when I was playing this game and I've burst out laughing for how it reminded me of Jack's attitude. X3
I bought this game at release and I was so upset how much I unironically loved it but now I just love how stupid and fun it is. I also appreciate how you can completely remap the controls so I adjusted it so it’s more similar to Kingdom Hearts “press X to win” and pushing the big damage stamina button in between. I play with a friend and its a lot better to be honest, even if I have to explain every FF reference to him its so much fun. If you just dont take it too seriously and have fun its so good. Still havent actually finished it but looking forward to it!
My husband and I play this coop together and I legit cannot imagine playing this solo only. It feels like a COMPLETELY different game. We also realized I can stay whatever character that I want the entire time (Neon obvi) but my husband HAS to be Jack the whole time and host the room. AND I get to basically use his Neon as my "glam"/"transmog" as it's what HIS Neon is wearing, despite me playing as her because TECHNICALLY it's using MY Jack's gear. Unnecessarily clunky but doable I guess. We both like it a lot but wow it has so many things to nitpick.
I was wondering how multiplayer worked, but man is that clunky. IDK why they made it so that you can only play Jack in the main campaign when all of those characters were pretty fleshed out moveset wise.
Nioh has better level design and end game building with transferable abilities. SOP is still new but combat is good let's hope Team Ninja and Square continues with updates and improvements
This is the type of game that I should hate on paper but absolutely love in practise. The gameplay is fantastic but even the story is worth it by the end.
I love this game? like I played the demo and I was like "Okay! this game is actually dope!" it's the first time I didn't just listen to public perception of people saying "it's just final fantasy angry man LMAO!" and gave it a shot and I'm actually waiting for the last dlc to drop this weekend and I'm actually excited! it's challenging without being impossibly hard for me personally. I couldn't beat nioh 2 or bloodborne, but I can play this on normal difficulty and I'm enjoying my time with it! it was the fast paced action game I needed for when I needed that type of stimulation! also I love jack tho?! like I didn't think I would but his dialogue and personality, he's so blunt and straight forward but he's not mean either. edit: side-note, I played nioh 2 as well and I can't even beat the first area in that, but I can play this no problem. so I dunno what that says about this game over that game, or about me as a player~
The story was actually way better than most people gave it credit for. Also, anyone that thinks this game is supposed to be taken seriously probably didn't play more than 5-10 minutes of it. I mean, 'Doomslayer figures out that he was actually the demon overlord' is a pretty crazy concept.
My guess is their fix for that first demo was to actually just release a previous, working build, instead of the prepared demo build. Just a big guess tho.
I’m happy you mentioned how Jack being excessively obsessed with Chaos was somehow intended. I think they didn’t expect memes to take off like that, but Jack‘s longing to meet Chaos ties pretty nicely to the revelations towards the end of the game in my opinion.
I super struggled with the combat in this game but your video helped heaps. I still had to drop down to story mode and kept dying left and right (I just could never get the timing of blocks/parties down in 30+ hours… and I finished and loved sekiro?!?!) but I had fun in the end.
Am I the only person that watched this whole thing and patiently waited for a thorough take on how the multiplayer influences this games experience playing the story start to finish? Only to be met with, eh I'm not gonna explain it. Kinda disappointed on that front. Edit: if anyone carees I could explain how the multiplayer works and effects the game.
This game needs its flowers. I picked it up and it was new but then got distracted with other things like Elden Ring finally went back to it and finished it and this is easily one of my favorite ninja games maybe better than nioh 2. Had more fun with it in the end.
13:13 Jokes on you Brado, the 4500 is is your Storage space, you still only have 500 inventory space, and the game doesnt really let you know whats going into what easily.
The attack combo customization almost feels more... Dynasty Warriors / Musou than anything. But it's neat that like, your weapons are almost a secondary progression mechanic from Jobs.
I think Jack stopped became "cringe" to me the moment they tell you that something's messing with his head (and all the other party members) especially after seeing all the flashback/forward. There's a reason why he's like this, and the desire to know is one of the main motivation why you want to keep playing. It's still hilarious mind you when he spouts CHAOS, but I was also curious what makes him like this, the whole black crystal memory shenanigans, etc. Also I'd take "cringe" that's completely honest over the quippy irony dialogues that's been around in all kinds of media recently.
My only main issue with this game is the "stamina bar" and how if you get hit it goes down. I'm doing a Jack only playthrough and it can be so annoying when a boss hits you and then you have no way to recover.
@@aleee2010 even if your guard is completely broken? I'm not really struggling its just when you get hit in the back and don't have a way to recover its annoying.
I'm glad there is armor for the characters to equip, it feels that for too long our Fantasy heroes have been fighting monsters in their street clothes.
I love and hate this game for being simpler than Nioh but still have a good time. This story is so cringe and its been so fun to watch and have a good laugh with a couple drinks in hand lol At the end of the day I look at this as the game to hold me over for a little bit till the next true Nioh style experience. Team Ninja need to step it up.
Great review! I have to say that I like this game alot, but I agree that it could have been much more polished (the lack of a soul matching system for upgrading equipment like in Nioh was dissapointing. That being saud though I love the gameplay, and the cutscenes are really funny (The Litch scene especially😂)
You know, I absolutely LOATHE anything soulslike, including nioh - but when you talked about Jack and his brand of brain damage I immediately knew I have to play this. That level of cringe and idiocy is my vibe :D
Alright you got me to pick the game up again, and I may actually dust off my PS3 to try 13 for the first time. Also, gameplay is equally as important to me. Also, I subscribed when you made a joke about being a D list TH-camr.
In terms of the loot issue, the game added an auto-dismantle option that lets you sell equipment below a certain level after missions. You do have to go into settings every new mission to update the level of equipment you want to get rid of, but overall, it greatly reduces stress over inventory management.
I started the game after the DLCs came out with like 0 knowledge of it and no expectations. I got the platinum trophy and loved every second of it. The writing is absolutely hands down one of my gulty pleasures i was laughing trought most of the game 😂
Also your point about Doom Eternal doesn’t really line up because “Doomguy” never interrupts gameplay to talk about how much he hates demons. Like yeah he’s one dimensional but HE isn’t really intrusive or the focus of the game itself.
I would love to hear you break down The Bouncer. I rented it when it released and I remember liking the character designs and that was about it. The 1v1 fighting mode was.... something. I remember playing as a woman who could shape shift into a panther? Anyway, love your videos and commentary! Looking forward to more!
The Nioh type of inventory drops I think came from games like Diablo 2 but there's a couple of reasons it worked there better than it does now. First: monsters also dropped gold so you didn't feel bad about leaving a bunch of shitty equipment on the ground because you could just buy what you wanted later. Second: your inventory space was much more limited so deciding what you wanted and what you didn't was easy and quick to do at a glance rather than sifting through multiple different scrolling pages of hundreds of similar items each.
I agree that the opening is just odd, also, I noticed they mentions that their was supposed to by *4* warriors of light, which makes me think that Jack, Ash, and Jed aren’t the true warriors of light, and that something else is going on, ESPECIALLY with Jack, he just seems odd.
I had no idea this game existed until it randomly came up in my suggestions. And since I’m not a huge FF fan, I almost just skipped it. But a few seconds in that particular video, I found out team ninja developed it and I was just hoping so much it was a nioh-like and it seems like it is. Ordered and waiting for the game now lol.
im suprised you did not really talk about the multiplayer of this game which is in my opinion one of the best features of this game just me and the boys going on a final fantasy adventure and laughing our asses off at the story
Chaos
Are you going to make a review for Final Fantasy 14???? Nier is in there.
Thank you Brando , you made me spend way to much , for a game that had ... questionable review ... yet again. (My wallet hates you) But what can i say except...CHAOS
Wish you covered the multiplayer experience.
Chaos
Chaos…. Good game but a bunch of nonsense imo . Would be better without the one shot enemies.
Just started. My favorite interaction so far:
Innkeeper: Will you stay the night?
Jack: *grunts*
Innkeeper: I hoped you'd say that!
What's with that scene though? It feels like the inn keeper has a thing for Jack and Jack doesn't want to admit that he has a thing with the inn keeper. lol
The scene with the Elf king.
Ek: Astos
Jk: Astos?
Ek: Friend of yours?
Jk: Never heard of him
😅
Jack is like the dude from Goblin Slayer except he's obssessed with Chaos instead of goblins
Absolutely, and the voice actor for Goblin Slayer (Umehara Yuuichirou) has very similar fucks-given-zero energy to Tsuda.
Chaos ?
DId some one say "Chaos"!?
Sounds like he'd be way more effective, considering how many things are linked to Chaos.
🤣🤣🤣
Angry based man in a cringe world wants to kill Chaos... He's the hero we need
Sounds like real life
No cap
Very powerful evil entity: "I am.."
Based Jack: "I don't give a f*ck who you are!"
That's when I feel in love with his character.
Square Enix: We have the Doom Slayer at home!
The Doom Slayer at home.
Jack: ...chaos...
Seeing the Lore retcons of Doom Eternal regarding Doom Slayer, I much prefer Jack
Slap some sunglasses on him, and he'd be the Duke Nukem of Final Fantasy.
All it's missing is for him to unironically start playing The only thing they fear is you, on his walkman.
I FUCKING love how lack cuts through the bullshit. So many RPGs are all about people sorting out their emotions. I love to see that. I want more straightforward stories with plot action like this.
the game is entirely about emotion thou i wish people who didnt play the game would stop spouting this nonsense based on the beginning of the game
A shirtless Jack walking up to the King with all the swag in the world. ART!
The story of the game got me hooked by the end. Also Jack is great.

13:13 Jokes on you Brado, the 4500 is is your Storage space, you still only have 500 inventory space, and the game doesnt really let you know whats going into what easily.
Bro... i bet the red haired party member is gonna be the warrior of light in the sequel if there is one.
The attack combo customization almost feels more... Dynasty Warriors / Musou than anything. But it's neat that like, your weapons are almost a secondary progression mechanic from Jobs.
I think Jack stopped became "cringe" to me the moment they tell you that something's messing with his head (and all the other party members) especially after seeing all the flashback/forward. There's a reason why he's like this, and the desire to know is one of the main motivation why you want to keep playing. It's still hilarious mind you when he spouts CHAOS, but I was also curious what makes him like this, the whole black crystal memory shenanigans, etc.
Also I'd take "cringe" that's completely honest over the quippy irony dialogues that's been around in all kinds of media recently.
My only main issue with this game is the "stamina bar" and how if you get hit it goes down. I'm doing a Jack only playthrough and it can be so annoying when a boss hits you and then you have no way to recover.
What are you talking about? There is no stamina bar.
@@Chili_Bass I'm talking about the bar you use for blocking and to parry with.
U can press triangle to change class
Also why play solo if u are struggling?
Doesn’t make sense
@@aleee2010 even if your guard is completely broken? I'm not really struggling its just when you get hit in the back and don't have a way to recover its annoying.
I would be on board for a game like this for every FF entry
I'm glad there is armor for the characters to equip, it feels that for too long our Fantasy heroes have been fighting monsters in their street clothes.
Way of the househusband jack. thats all I can think of hearing him talk. XD
Word
Jack is basically me as a player. Skip every cutscene, skip story, no need to listen to what the Boss said, shut up I'm here to kill Chaos.
The game has really good strong points and really annoying problems. I enjoyed it a lot, and will most likely play it again eventually.
I'll wait till it comes to steam with a sale.
Thanks for a good review.
I love and hate this game for being simpler than Nioh but still have a good time. This story is so cringe and its been so fun to watch and have a good laugh with a couple drinks in hand lol
At the end of the day I look at this as the game to hold me over for a little bit till the next true Nioh style experience. Team Ninja need to step it up.
I love the fact that the first non-FF1 dungeon you go through is the first dungeon in FF14, it feels kinda proper
Great review! I have to say that I like this game alot, but I agree that it could have been much more polished (the lack of a soul matching system for upgrading equipment like in Nioh was dissapointing. That being saud though I love the gameplay, and the cutscenes are really funny (The Litch scene especially😂)
You know, I absolutely LOATHE anything soulslike, including nioh - but when you talked about Jack and his brand of brain damage I immediately knew I have to play this. That level of cringe and idiocy is my vibe :D
You have bad tastes
Alright you got me to pick the game up again, and I may actually dust off my PS3 to try 13 for the first time. Also, gameplay is equally as important to me.
Also, I subscribed when you made a joke about being a D list TH-camr.
Pretty chaotic development team and game.
Guess I understand why Jack wants to kill chaos.
Great game. Great review.
Chaos, btw.
Might need a refresh on this
In terms of the loot issue, the game added an auto-dismantle option that lets you sell equipment below a certain level after missions. You do have to go into settings every new mission to update the level of equipment you want to get rid of, but overall, it greatly reduces stress over inventory management.
If only Nioh 2 had this 😭😭😭
I started the game after the DLCs came out with like 0 knowledge of it and no expectations. I got the platinum trophy and loved every second of it. The writing is absolutely hands down one of my gulty pleasures i was laughing trought most of the game 😂
Also your point about Doom Eternal doesn’t really line up because “Doomguy” never interrupts gameplay to talk about how much he hates demons.
Like yeah he’s one dimensional but HE isn’t really intrusive or the focus of the game itself.
I would love to hear you break down The Bouncer. I rented it when it released and I remember liking the character designs and that was about it. The 1v1 fighting mode was.... something. I remember playing as a woman who could shape shift into a panther? Anyway, love your videos and commentary! Looking forward to more!
The Nioh type of inventory drops I think came from games like Diablo 2 but there's a couple of reasons it worked there better than it does now.
First: monsters also dropped gold so you didn't feel bad about leaving a bunch of shitty equipment on the ground because you could just buy what you wanted later.
Second: your inventory space was much more limited so deciding what you wanted and what you didn't was easy and quick to do at a glance rather than sifting through multiple different scrolling pages of hundreds of similar items each.
I will admit, What is Jack wearing now, is become kind of a mini game.
I mean when comes out in men's lounge wear, 70's scifi warrior, the dresen files, or the plague outfit, there are some good laughs.
I agree that the opening is just odd, also, I noticed they mentions that their was supposed to by *4* warriors of light, which makes me think that Jack, Ash, and Jed aren’t the true warriors of light, and that something else is going on, ESPECIALLY with Jack, he just seems odd.
I mean... I ain't gonna spoil nothing 👀
I Hope They Are The Warriors of DARKNESS & Were Chaos the whole time. I am getting this ASAP
You lose mp on death which you can regain from where you previously died. You can’t do this for bosses though.
You can't? Whenever I played with a buddy of mine and we died at a boss, we got our mp back once we enter the boss arena
Wow turns out I thought Team Ninja and Ninja Theory were the same dev team despite being aware of the two diff names lol
I had no idea this game existed until it randomly came up in my suggestions. And since I’m not a huge FF fan, I almost just skipped it. But a few seconds in that particular video, I found out team ninja developed it and I was just hoping so much it was a nioh-like and it seems like it is. Ordered and waiting for the game now lol.
How is it? Does it have Nioh Gore?
Hi, i am one of those players that fucking LOVES loot drops. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Been playing it loving the gameplay. Do we unlock transmog later on?
I do not believe we do
@@ThBrando what do you mean?
@@shaminabalamo525 There's no Transmog system.
I always saw the Nioh games as spiritual successors of the Ninja Gaiden with Soulslike elements.
im suprised you did not really talk about the multiplayer of this game which is in my opinion one of the best features of this game just me and the boys going on a final fantasy adventure and laughing our asses off at the story
