[ffxvi] Demo spoilers?

Titanic Block is some SHIT once you start getting it down.

FINAL FANTASY XVI DEMO_20230612163325

You can also see me fucking it up and getting flattened here but
Ken
Using the Timely Focus accessory isn’t foolproof, your ass can still get run over and the window isn’t huge, but the timing on perfect blocks and dodges can be just tight enough it’s worth the accessory slot, it feels.
Ken
Until or unless you start getting it down reflexively which feels very doable with practice
Ken
The only problem is Titanic Block is SO good it’s hard to resist not just parking on Titan and staying there.
Ken
But there’s gonna be a stretch of the game at the start where you don’t have it so I expect one will learn other strategies for dealing with things before obtaining it
Ken
For instance I fully expect you probably don’t have Titan at all when you do this section in the actual game
連続犬
Given the end of the Eikonic Challenge I think it's VERY likely that you are going through this entire section in the main game with only Phoenix Style
連続犬
and Garuda is the first alternative style you pick up
Ken
Yeah that’s what I figure too, so this will likely be a touch harder in the main game
Ken
But it still feels very rad to just get up into an enemy’s face and bounce back and forth between blocking everything they throw and keep pummeling them in the face
連続犬
I do actually like how Phoenix Style is basically "oh you have one Stinger, natively"

"but what if you had TWO"
Ken
Because every time you perfect block with it, the three hit combo it triggers resets so I’ve had some parts where it’s just gone on into like a ten+ hit combo
Ken
The degree that the base moves you unlock are just essential DMC moves (stinger, enemy step, etc) is REALLY funny to me
連続犬
yeah the extra moves are just Stinger/Wild Stomp/Helm Breaker
連続犬
it's REALLY funny
Ken
And Garuda gives him Nero’s snatch

I'm avoiding the demo bc I know if I play it
𝔞𝔢𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔫𝔞✶𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔰
I'll wanna buy it
𝔞𝔢𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔫𝔞✶𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔰
I'm being strong
Ken
𝔞𝔢𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔫𝔞✶𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔰 : honestly fair because that will probably be the result
Ken
It’s a really well put together demo made specifically to Sell The Game
𝔞𝔢𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔫𝔞✶𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔰
even just the clips I've seen have got me sweating
𝔞𝔢𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔫𝔞✶𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔰
there's a pre-order bonus on a site here w a bunch of posters
𝔞𝔢𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔫𝔞✶𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔰
they know I'm weak to posters
Guardian Bear J
Wait.
Guardian Bear J
YOU.
Guardian Bear J
YOU.
Guardian Bear J
Are using Royal Guard.
Ken
Guardian Bear J : Sort of, it doesn't build up. But more or less, yeah. (Its definitely more forgiving than RG, but the principle's the same.)
Ken
lmao looking back at it I see the reason I whiffed that last block was because I changed to Phoenix
Ken
without thinking about it
Ken
連続犬 : so hey we talked about how Clive likely only has Phoenix at the Eikonic Challenge in the actual story. Do you think he only has access to the first two abilities too or do you think he’ll maybe have Heatwave then.

I’m gonna do something.
連続犬
Ken : my guess is he'll have Phoenix but you should probably have enough skill points in the tank to unlock Heat Wave.
連続犬
Are you going to do a "phoenix run only" challenge on the demo
Ken
Correct! I wanna see what that feels like because I keep spamming Titanic Block.
連続犬
godspeed, brother
連続犬
oh right, a thing I have heard thrown around:
連続犬
You MIGHT want to put points into mastery of Charged Blade because then you can put it in chains
連続犬
if you're doing Phoenix Run Only shit
連続犬
I haven't re-opened the demo to confirm myself but apparently being able to chain that in combos is locked behind Mastery.
Ken
Yeah I was gonna check that stuff since I’d not be spending points to unlock Titan/Garuda abilities
Ken
Oh that was VERY doable
Ken
Honestly not spamming Eikon powers taught me a lot more about the bits and bobs of Clive’s regular kit, I recorded it so I’m gonna throw that up
