The Aesthetic of XVI

FFXVI’s character designs and cinematics are amazing, and while Benedikta isn’t my favorite character design, these screenshots still came out sick. The dark aesthetic, her outfit, glowing eyes, and transformation into Garuda all work so well. These look like they came out of a dark fantasy movie.

Say what you want about XVI, but the art direction is fantastic. I’d love to see more Final Fantasy games go for this darker, more mature style.

Should I main steve as a new player?

I’ve never played Tekken before, but I picked up Tekken 8 because I love boxing and I saw videos of Steve’s style and thought it looked sick af 😂

I’ve heard he has a steep learning curve and is more limited than other characters, though. Am I setting myself up for pain by learning him from the start, or should I play someone easier and come back to Steve later?

I’m not worried about maining the “best” character. Steve’s boxing style is what got me interested in Tekken.

If anyone has advice for learning Steve as a complete beginner, I’d really appreciate it!

Crisis core is fun!

First time playing through Crisis Core Reunion and I’m honestly enjoying it a lot.It’s been cool seeing how everything unfolds for the first time, especially knowing how it connects to FF7.

I also really like some of the gameplay mechanics, especially the unlimited MP effect for a period of time. I don’t remember Remake or Rebirth doing anything like that. So far, the summon battles have definitely been the hardest challenge, but they’ve also been some of the most satisfying fights.

For a game that originally came from the PSP era, Reunion still looks really good too. The combat has been fun and the game has been holding my attention the whole way through.

I’m not gonna lie, I got a lil emotional seeing Aerith 😂. After playing through Remake and Rebirth, seeing her in this story just hits a little different.
Just hit the halfway point and I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the story plays out. Definitely glad I finally gave this one a chance.

Is Tekken 8 worth it for someone who usually plays action RPGs?

I’ve recently seen some videos of Tekken 8, and it looks pretty fun, but I’m usually not a huge fan of arena fighting games. I noticed it’s currently on sale on PlayStation for $23, so I’m curious if you guys think it’s worth picking up.

I typically play games like Final Fantasy, Elden Ring, Lies of P, and The First Berserker Khazan. I’m used to games where I’m exploring, completing objectives, preparing for a main boss fight, and creating a build around my character.

Coming from those types of games, do you think I’d enjoy Tekken 8 as a change of pace?

Anyone else keep a Chapter 1 save just so they can play as Sephiroth again? 😂 Or is it just me?

We need way more Sephiroth playtime. The devs should’ve made him 100% playable after beating the game. I don’t even care if it looks ridiculous with him fighting himself i just want to use him whenever I want.

I don’t want to mod my game.

Best Zack and Sephiroth mods for FF7 Rebirth?

I just finished Rebirth and really want to play as Zack and Sephiroth in the combat simulator, but I don’t have the time or patience to go back and grind through a bunch of side quests and optional content just to unlock them 😭

For anyone who has used the mods, what are the best/current mods for playing as Zack and Sephiroth?

Thank you in advance 🙏🏼

Approaching Hard mode

I just got to Chapter 11, so I know I’m getting pretty close to the end of my first playthrough. I’ve been playing on Normal, and I feel like I’ve mostly been getting by without really mastering the combat system.

I tried Dynamic difficulty against Gi Nattak and absolutely got destroyed 😂 I didn’t last long at all.

Once I finish this playthrough, I really want to try Hard Mode, so I’d like to start improving my combat techniques now. What are some things you guys recommend I focus on to get better at the combat? Any specific mechanics, materia setups, strategies, or habits I should practice before attempting Hard Mode?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

Khazan is a banger 🔥

I’m not even close to being done with my first play through yet so this isn’t a complete review I just wanted to share my thoughts.

I’ll start by saying this games goes incredibly hard; I love the great swords and the whole anime inspired aesthetic. The combat is easily my favorite part of the game, the parries feel so satisfying, and the red aura released from the weapon is PEAK. The gore is also sick, and I’ve actually really enjoyed the maps although they’re very linear.

The one thing I wish it had was a jump mechanic. I feel like it would’ve added even more to the combat and exploration. (I can also complain about the lack of weapon options but Im typically a greatsword/strength build user anyway)

I’m looking forward to NG+ because I feel like I will be in god mode with crazy stats, armor and I’ll just be an overall better player.

Minigames

Around what chapter do the minigames slow down or go away?

Some of them have actually been pretty fun, but overall I mostly just want to fight enemies, see the story, and keep moving. Every time the game throws another minigame at me, I lose the energy to keep playing.

Does the game start focusing more on combat and story after Costa del Sol, or should I expect this for the rest of the game?

Looking for newer soulslikes

I currently own

Elden Ring + DLC
Lies of P + DLC ( my favorite)
Wuchang
The First Berserker: Khazan
Bloodborne
Sekiro
Ai limit

I know the Dark Souls games are some of the best in the genre, but they’re kind of out of the question for me. I’m having a hard time going back to older looking games after playing newer Soulslikes. Even with Bloodborne, I love the atmosphere and combat, but the older visuals and performance bother me sometimes.

I’m looking for some other Soulslikes that are worth checking out. What would yall recommend for someone who likes newer soulslike games?

FF7 Crisis core reunion

I recently got through FF7 Remake and I’m working on Rebirth, and I’m thinking about giving Crisis Core Reunion a shot, but I’m not sure what to expect.

Does it still hold up compared to Remake and Rebirth, or does it feel outdated since it started as a PSP game?

For anyone who’s played all three, is Crisis Core Reunion worth checking out if I’m already invested in the FF7 world?

I love FF7 rebirth!!

I have to give this game the appreciation it deserves.

I pushed myself through FF7 Remake, and while I enjoyed the story and visuals, the combat just never fully impressed me. It started to feel repetitive, and I honestly questioned whether I’d even enjoy Rebirth.
I’m so glad I was wrong.

The moment I started Rebirth, it felt like a completely different experience. The combat is faster, flashier, and way more expressive. The Synergy Abilities are one of the coolest mechanics I’ve seen in an RPG, and they make every fight feel like an anime scene come to life.

What really blew me away, though, was how sick Cloud’s attacks look. The colors, the glowing aura around his sword, and the way every swing feels like it has this explosive energy behind it are incredible. His aerial attacks and over the top finishers are exactly what I was hoping for. Every battle feels stylish, vibrant, and way more exciting than anything I expected.

And then there is the opening section where you get to fight alongside Sephiroth. Absolute peak. Using Cloud and Sephiroth to tear through enemies together had me grinning the whole time. It immediately sold me on the combat.

Honestly, I kind of wish I had started with Rebirth because this is the experience I wanted from the beginning. At the same time, I’m glad I finished Remake first because now I don’t have that lingering “what if?” feeling. I experienced the whole journey, and now I get to appreciate just how much Rebirth improves on it.

I’m only partway through, but this has already become one of the most fun JRPGs I’ve played in a long time. If anyone else was on the fence because Remake didn’t completely click for them, give Rebirth a chance. It exceeded every expectation I had.

First time playing this gem

Just started Wuchang and I’m having a good time with it so far.

Any beginner tips, things you wish you knew early on, or mistakes to avoid? Just looking for any advice from people who have put some time into the game.

Using the longsword right now, but I’m open to trying other weapons too.

Thanks!

Loved Lies of P. What’s the best game to play next?

What’s up everyone,

I’ve been trying to find a game that gives me the same feeling that Lies of P did, but nothing has really clicked yet.

What I loved about Lies of P was the boss fights, the combat, the weapon/build customization, and the ability of constantly making my character stronger. Learning a boss, getting my ass kicked a few times, and then finally beating it was incredibly satisfying.

For those of you who loved Lies of P, what game came the closest to scratching that same itch? If you could only pick one game for a Lies of P fan, what would it be?

Appreciate it.

Should I get Ghost of Yotei if I haven’t played Tsushima?

I’ve never played Ghost of Tsushima, but Ghost of Yōtei has really caught my attention. Honestly, a big reason is the fashion, armor, and overall aesthetic it just appeals to me more.

Would I be fine jumping straight into Yōtei, or should I play Tsushima first?

Games I’ve enjoyed:

Sekiro
Bloodborne
Elden Ring
Lies of P
Monster Hunter Wilds

I FINALLY BEAT GENICHIRO

I bought this game on 9/27/2025 and I coasted through it until I got to Genichiro! I uninstalled multiple times because that asshole and just played other games lol. Anyway, I finally beat him and obtained the MORTAL BLADE!

Things that helped a lot: Staying in his face but knowing that "CLANG" means it's his turn to attack. (Literally didn't know that the loud clang meant to stop attacking until just recently lol)

Using the axe prosthetic after every mikiri counter helped a lot to build that posture bar up!

During his 3rd phase I used mist raven to reverse his lightning attack and oh boy it was beautiful! I felt like an anime character or something.

Not sure how big of a difference it made but I also used a PS5 controller instead of Xbox!

I am currently playing Sekiro and Bloodborne I just want to say I love Fromsoft!
