its not just the graphics. what we have been seeing now. and the gameplay demos people allready got to play. this looks a bit like they recreating SH2 with some influences of warlords.

wich could potentially work. but they are allready crunching. a 2026 release after just announcing the game mid year. seems way to soon IMO especially with fireflys track rekord.

and the trailer and the demo just dosnt give me something to be exited for. that would make me think thats worth it. the coolest feature so far we have seen is the terrain. i dont know if anybody is exited about honour coming back. or wonky phsysics when towers crumble.

under the video they allso explain that they currently have 2 teams one working on SH4 and the other one working on crusader dlc. but the 2d team only churns out AI lords and map packs and trails currently. something players allready can and do create on mass with the included editors.

wich just showcases an inherent inability of firefly to get what their product actually is and what its strengths are.

basically every class has access to infinite selfheal choosing the right weapons

and for every class this seems to be ideal.

2nd row priest is also suboptimal and its pure heal on allies is insufficiant if they dont bring their own or hug you.

this makes many weapons and potential sets dead in the water. especially hybrid int and dex weapons suffer massively from this . aside from the fact that they are strictly suboptimal from a stat perspective. due to their hybrid damage. and often being crit focussed.wich makes penetration harder for them. and strictly being worse than fevor in many cases.

such weapons are often hard focussed on raw dps. but fail to come close to the actual dps of ,cheesemoon. or faith hybrids. who can actually stand still and dps. and dont need a 3th scaling just to survive.

also ranged does barely exist. since an abundance of weapons is melee. restricting your choices to 2-3 weapons , often with non alining stats. amd all classes aside from maybe mage having purely lowrange-melee class abilitys.

so you are allways taking damage. and without taking your infinite sustain options. you are getting nowhere.

mobility builds are also pretty dead. by the only form of ranged heals on allies. , wich they would desperately need. being area chipheal wich want you to stand still .

not like seeing wich piece of armour a player is wearing is important or anyting.

classes are not visually distinct anyways. and yet there is obvious parts of aestetic sets strewn over different classes. i just want my pockethive priest to look like a bee.
