Best FF Open World? The bar was very low, that isn't saying much.
Super enjoyable video! Thanks!
Tears of the crystals
Looks a lot better than part 1 remake.
Guys, I think there's something wrong with Rob. He just seems like he's got something on his mind
I hope the game looks like that graphics you showed us, because the demo looks so blurry.
As if I couldn’t even possibly get more excited for the game, the Access team releases this and I’m giddy beyond belief!
A question I have is about the transfer from Remake to Rebirth. If there a level cap when you transfer your save? I saw the demo for the open world was capped at 21, does this continue into Rebirth or do you continue with your Remake level? Will the world levels scale up as a result if you do carry over let’s say from level 40?
You lot are funny, which is why I subscribed before even finishing the video. Keep up the humor, it sets you apart from the other media outlets.
next great weekend since 1997 for ff7 fans! i gonna swim ocean to get knights of the round instead riding golden chocobo! if only got fishing mini game
Hi
Damn the game is so gorgeous on graphics mode
FF13 is still the GOAT for me. I am a sucker for linear games.
Easiest and one of the only games I have ever spent $70 on a pre-order for
I am seeing quite a few people complain about the visuals a lot and I’m hoping a day 1 patch will be available to fix those issues. Nonetheless I preordered my deluxe edition last month and I am BEYOND excited
Chadley 🤓
i wait in summer
#podsquad Wait… You mean that wasn't the real Rob!? 🤣
That postman better arrive early Thursday morning!!!!!
Holy s$&@ I’m literally crying laughing Like A Dragon Infinite Parking Spots 😂😂😂
Glad I got the Digital Deluxe pre order for FFVII Rebirth.
That’s an amazing metaphor for FFXIII
Between this and Infinite Wealth, really liking rosies videos this year
I cant wait for the 29th
…makes sense Rob didn't do this feature. I'm sure he is busy playing demon souls in preparation for the upcoming elden ring dlc
Wow, I can't believe Rob resisted the temptation to skip work to play this the entire time! And may I say, he's looking slimmer and more handsome than ever!
I wish we could fight summons in the open world/dungeons to acquire them
Honestly surprised its not ROb doing all the FF7 videos.
I'm a big fan of FF 12's zones. Not necessarily an Open World game but the best time i've had exploring in a FF game.
Looks so good. i need to finish the first one
Thanks a lot for this review!
Day 1 of trying to get PlayStation to add Shrek 2 from the ps2 to PS Plus (it’s my childhood favourite 🙂
Saved up vacation days for a week for this 🙂 I'm 41 and grew up with the OG version, and i'm loving this spin on the timelime! Time for a R E U N I O N !
Yesh! Cloud can swim😂😂😂 this is the winner of all ff gameplay🎉🎉🎉
I got the notification that my copy is being shipped out!!! I'm so excited!!! I took a couple of days off work, and I'm almost finished reading the Traces of Two Pasts tie-in novel. I didn't expect the size of the map and so many new features and customization.
I'm as excited to play the game as I am to see more of Access's coverage. Rob and Rosie always perfectly express the nostalgia and excitement of Final Fantasy fans. ❤
Can you change the costumes? I always thought Tifa and Aerith would change their clothes to fit the open world. Tifas outfit is "bartender" and Aeriths is "flower salesman". Running around the world like this seems like you would want to wear pants or shorts.
"Queen's Blood" is the Final nail in the coffin for my hopes of an FFVIII Remake (more than the creator interviews)
Well, there's still FFX-3 (Kilika is Balamb)
