Not sure if there was a thread up for this yet? Played like an hour or so of the free demo last night, definitely has that old school FF feel. Looks great for HD-2D, sometimes it feels like they're trying to go a little too cinematic in combat with the limit breaks and big vision/esper attacks...but overall the systems feel very familiar. I'd bet it would play very well to the turn based only crowd who cries quite a bit over XV/XVI/Remake series combat. Lot of elemental weakness/resistance focus, and I guess it's somewhat of a port of Brave Exvius(?), although the combat and world I guess has been built from the ground up, just adapting the story from that old mobile game.

I’m enjoying the demo. What’s the point of the minimap color warning for imminent combat? Is there a way to increase the timer or something? Does walking vs running change the frequency of the flashing red? Feels like I’m getting pulled into combat every 15 seconds or so no matter what.

Not sure if anything affects it, I guess just to let the player know when they're in areas where random encounters will occur v not? Or hey a fight is coming soon if you can hit a town do it in the next step or two?

I liked the demo. I saw people saying be wary of it cause it’s based on a mobile game but it didn’t feel mobile to me at all, just felt like a new octopath traveler in final fantasy land.

So where is this available? If it's a free demo, I'm down to give it a shot.'
Scratch that, I found the demo in the playstation store. For some reason, I read the title of this thread as Final Fantasy Resources, so looking for that showed me nothing at all except looking for shit in FF14.
Oh well, it's all resolved now.

It's adapting the main story of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Gameplay seems like pretty standard FF style rpg replacing the tap timing of the mobile game. Visions are now sort of an equipment slot instead of being full on party members like they were in the mobile game. I.E. once you've unlocked the Warrior of Light vision you can equip him to a party member to start learning special passives from him.

I honestly sort of expected you'd still have to pull on gachas to build a party and you just earn gacha currency through normal in game play. Turning it into a traditional rpg is probably a much better idea.

I really enjoyed the demo, maxed out all available heroes and visions. Definitely a day 1 buy for me.
