At a hands-on preview event, we learned a lot more about Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail and its surprising Dragonball influence.
Starting a new story arc from scratch in a video game that’s been running for over a decade is a tall order — and it’s one that Final Fantasy XIV’s Dawntrail expansion sets out to accomplish.
Yoshida cites “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Hunter x Hunter, and YuYu Hakusho” as some manga examples of the mental and emotional battle that’s more in line with what the team was aiming for. Not focusing on univers-ending threats, but rather battles of political power grabs and conflicting self-interest. Yoshida does mention a “big secret,” which has not been disclosed yet, so for those worrying this might just be a political story, there is still something on the table for you.
All of this comes to a head when you’ve filled up the Serpent’s Ire gauge, which allows you to “Reawaken” and begin a new combo string bouncing between actions called “Generation” and “Legacy.” Most of Viper’s actions light up on the hotbar to indicate what your next best routing option is, which helps make it less overwhelming. Overall, Viper feels like a Job with a high skill ceiling for players looking to optimize their best options while having room to improvise based on the situation.
Running through the dungeon as Pictomancer left me scratching my head at first, trying to understand when to weave in the many options Pictomancer has at its disposal, but when you get into that flow state, Pictomancer not only has extensive damage output potential, but feels unique in its animations and effects that leave each encounter with a satisfying crunch.
