Before long, Clive will be caught up in a great tragedy and swear revenge on the Dark Eikon lfrit, a mysterious entity that brings calamity in its wake.

The game has now been out for 2 weeks, so let’s discuss the gameplay, story, experiences, and impressions!

Rules:

  1. SPOILERS MUST BE TAGGED. Some players haven’t started yet and are looking for impressions, while others are playing but haven’t finished yet.
  2. Spoilers include: Major plot points, twists, outcomes, late game abilities/items, etc. When in doubt, use the spoiler tag. If you are very spoiler adverse I would avoid this thread entirely. Being a discussion thread, there will be discussions of general locations, characters, abilities, items, etc that will be discussed openly.
  3. If you encounter a spoiler that is untagged, please report it and downvote it so mods can remove the post. Mistakes happen and formatting can be tricky for some, so accidently spoiling will be met with a warning and your post will be removed. This is the first time we are doing a thread like this, so let’s see how it goes. As time moves on I will likely be less lenient on this. Use the preview button to make sure your formatting is correct before you submit your comment.
  4. Repeat offences and/or deliberately attempting to spoil the game for others will be met with a BAN.

Jerboa and other lemmy app users BEWARE:

  • Jerboa and some other Lemmy apps do not show spoiler formatting correctly. Being spoiled in this manner would totally suck. I will not be removing posts or potentially banning users if you are spoiled as a result of using apps that do not support spoiler markdown text. This is your warning.
  • Look at the example below. If you do not see the spoiler text below formatted correctly, you are advised to NOT proceed to the comments. Exit and return to the thread via a browser or via an app that supports spoiler markdown text.

Example Spoiler Formatting:

To do this (click the arrow to expand the spoiler):

Type:

    Asuras Wrath always has a special place in my heart. So I guess that’s why I love those over the top and unnecessary long eikon battles lol. I do feel if people can view this game as a stand alone installment,it is a very solid action game with great world buildings and very good presentation for major plots (can’t say that for the sub missions). And I like IGN’s comparison, FF XVI is less RPG compared to GOW:R but it is has a way flashy action system and did more justice for giant creatures fighting each other. Ironically that’s what God of War used to be good for.
