Here are fresh details that Final Fantasy XVI will include As promised, the weekend was preemptively greeted by Playsstaiton finally unveiling an exclusive State Of Play focusing on the gameplay of Final Fantasy XVI, that will launch exclusively for Playstation 5 this June. But what are the things that we learned? First of all and as expected, the main story will be divided in three periods with protagonist Clive and this includes flashbacks on his teenage days, Clive in his 20s and then, Clive in his 30s. Clive's attributes include HP, Attack, Defense, Stagger, Strength, Vitality, Willpower with a surprising absence of MP which reminds me of the Final Fantasy VIII days. The Eikons or as this time the summon monster are called was another focus on the game mechanics showcase and Clive can equip three different Eikons, with two abilities each. So far, Eikons roster includes Phoenix, Ifrit, Shiva, Garuda, Ramuh, Bahamut, Titan and probably there could be more, specially a powerful Eikon that in Final Fantasy’s historic fashion, could be a grinding in the making to get. Square Enix might be testing out a new way of helping players develop their characters as the leveling system is pretty much new in the sense that abilities will be unlocked rather than skill maps which was a constant in nowadays RPG games. In an accessibility feature, Final Fantasy XVI will feature a function named Timely accessories which allow players with certain disabilities to have Clive to auto-evade, slow down time before enemy attack lands on Clive, simplified button combos and also, Story Focused mode has all the Timely accessories equipped from the start of the game. Fans of Final Fantasy take good attention of this and there is a new Cid in Final Fantasy and FFXVI’s Cid is named Cidolfus, mentor of Clive and his spot serves as hub with shops, side quests and a place where Clive’s allies can be found and talking about allies, companion can join Clive in a party, but never directly controlled. There are a few things that I had mentioned here so you can have your own take on everything revealed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfP_3UD5qF8

WB Games confirms the newest delay of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League It took some rumors and a State Of Play presentation for Rocksteady Studios and WB Games that Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League as it was offered, will not be so much welcomed by gaming and DC fans. Well, they listened! There is not pretty much to take away from here but Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League will launch now on Febrary 2, 2024 as this is the official second know delay of the game and will speculate that this could land another delay and is good if I am wrong of course. Despite general concerts, the main one was actually an early leak of the game, where it was spotted to be a live service pretty much like Marvel’s Avengers and many gamers feel that we got enough live services already and fear that most of the good things of the game could be behind a paywall. I won’t get my hopes too high that live services and microtransactions will go away, but it would be better that the game have more balance on rewarding the player to actually play without paying.

Sony had a state of play yesterday with lots of announcements, what are you looking forward to from it?

Good afternoon... Merry Friday and a Happy New Weekend. In a mix of not feeling well and much to-do in offline and online, I apologize for taking this long for State Of Play announcement but after lunch, will update with also today's news worth on blogging. GG

Good morning everyone!!! Thoughts on the second State of Play coming on March 17th??

Without Final Fantasy in the panorama, the protagonist in my opinion of the past State Of Play was Square Enix announcing The DioField Chronicle, a strategy game based on what we have already seen with Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy with visual design inspired by FFXII . The DioField Chronicle is expected to be released this year. Meanwhile, the Valkyrie series wins a new game with Valkyrie Elysium in action RPG format, taking place in a time where the events based on the Ragnarok stories of Norse mythology are in manifest. The game is expected to be released this year probably for both PS4 and PS5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve_JJ5uH72A #SquareEnix #DioFieldChronicle #ValkyrieElysium

The DioField Chronicle se espera que se lance para este año. Mientras, La serie Valkyrie gana un nuevo huego con Valkyrie Elysium en formato de acción y RPG, tomando lugar en una época donde los eventos basados de las historias del Ragnarok de la mitología nórdica están en manifiesto. Se espera que el juego sea lanzado para este año probablemente para tanto PS4 y PS5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve_JJ5uH72A #SquareEnix #DioFieldChronicle #ValkyrieElysium

Also in State Of Play, Capcom took a turn announcing a new original game called Exoprimal and it seems to have an Anthem style of gameplay, but PvE oriented (group of 5) as announced by Capcom. The premise of the game is that it's the year 2043 and humanity is facing a phenomenon where portals open that attract dinosaurs from other times to face them at times, with the odds stacked against your party. Interestingly, State Of Play was used for the announcement but it will NOT be exclusive to Playstation ⅘ and the game is expected to also be released for Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X and PC (via Steam) by 2023. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3K89Vlz-80 #Capcom #Exoprimal

También en State Of Play, Capcom tomó un turno para anunciar un nuevo jkuego original llamado Exoprimal y parece que tiene un estilo Anthem de jugabilidad, pero orientado a PvE (grupo de 5) según anunció Capcom. La premisa del juego es que es el año 2043 y la humanidad enfrenta un fenómeno donde se abren portales que atraen dinosaurios de otros tiempos para enfrentarlos a veces, con las posibilidades en contra de tu grupo. Curiosamente, se usó a State Of Play para el anuncio pero NO será exclusivo de Playstation ⅘ y se espera que le juego sea lanzado también para Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X y PC (vía Steam) para el 2023. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3K89Vlz-80 #Capcom #Exoprimal
