I'm very into cock and ball torture
The combat doesn't look half bad actually. Decent time to kill, very fast dodges and you can dodge through moves, parries look satisfying, overall slow speed and clear tells on enemies.

But the writing. Those characters seem min maxed to be unlikeable, the CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS stuff legit sounds like a parody of a Square Enix game, the weapons look stupid even for JRPG standards and the art design looks worse than some literal asset flips.

The fuck happened with this game?

By naming it Origin, they had chance to make this one in the Amano style. Characters look bland even for Nomura, as if he was forced to design them or something.

"Expect the title to play similar to Nioh or other games in the genre, but to be more accessible for a wider audience", the article explains.

is set somewhere in the same world as the very first Final Fantasy title on the NES

It's going to be shit. Watch it be a double kick in the fucking balls as it's intended to be a full on remake of the original FF.
Goddamnit, I hate being right.

Probably has something to do with the colllaboration. The main people credited were all on SE side, so I assume Team Ninja is probably just half-assing it.

The character of 2:11 has a zipper, so it is a Nomura character.

The other two are generic, but this looks as disgusting as Kingdom Hearts characters.

Yikes.

I'll never wish for a game to do poorly, but if they can speed up the timeframe where they promote Yoshi P to make all the decisions for the FF franchise by sheer survival instinct, that would not be the worst outcome in my book. Maybe he'll even sanction a moderate budget new SaGa game too.

Given the director's work in the past with Square Enix exclusively involve a couple Crystal Chronicle games, FF XIII/Lightning Returns, and fucking Dirge of Cerberus guess it makes sense that this trailer is giving me a stroke.

Also obligatory

Oh! There's a demo on PS5? Let me just download it, and see for myself if gameplay can save this. Time to boot it up! Nice, the data is corrupted!

Homage to beloved colorful turn-based RPG with cute silent protagonists is an edgy Souls-like action game where a trio of black-clad anger-management issues won't shut up during their massacre through a creepy black tower. That about sums it up?

Is this trailer for fucking real? People in charge at Square Enix signed this off as appropriate to showcase their new Final Fantasy IP?

This has gotta be some sort of prank...
