It seems incredible that after the piece of trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that Nintendo has marked we were going to see something equally amazing today, but that’s how it was, because the gameplay from Final Fantasy XVI that Square Enix has published in Sony’s new State of Play is one of those that will take your breath away and leave you speechless non-stop.
throughout the 25 minutes that lasts With this new preview we can see how impressive what will be the first pure and hard action RPG of the saga looks like, something that is quite clear due to the numerous sequences related to its gameplay and its combat system. More than anything because these moments will be tremendously impressive.
On a technical level, not a single “but” can be put to this title, because in the combats we will not stop distributing slashes without stopping and using the abilities that we will be acquiring from the Eikons that we find on the go. Thanks to these abilities, Clive, our protagonist, will have a wide range of movements and attacks available to him.
Little by little, more will be unlocked based on defeating enemies and leveling up, but what must also be highlighted are the accessories that can be equipped. Thanks to them, the gameplay and the difficulty will be altered, so that our hero obtains advantages or adds special functions to Torgal, his inseparable companion in the form of a dog / wolf.
Still, Clive will not be alone on the exciting journey that awaits him. Although he will be the only character that we will control from beginning to end, at certain moments in the story he will be accompanied by other allies controlled by artificial intelligence. All this with real-time action in which turn-based combat has been completely left aside.
And something that has also become clear with this gameplay is that the Eikons battles will be the best of the game. Clive will be able to transform into Ifrit and thus face off against other equally impressive creatures, but these confrontations will be very diverse, because they will leave us with a kind of shooter, a race with obstacles along the way and even a fight that does not It has nothing to envy to those of WWE.
Beyond all this, throughout the world of Valisthea there will be a multitude of characters that will lend us a hand, others not so much, along with mysteries, secrets and even a main base for the group of protagonists. In this place there will be shops, a blacksmith, a training ground and the possibility of accepting side quests.
Even so, this is only a small part of everything that awaits us in Final Fantasy XVI, which aims to be another of the bombings of 2023 and one of the best video games of recent years, technically speaking. A serious masterpiece candidate due for release on June 22nd exclusively for PS5.
