I don't see much of Final Fantasy, but that protagonist with the butterfly in her eye reminds me of Zero from Drakengard 3 with Nier and Nier Automata. And if Yoko Taro gave it her blessing, it is a safe purchase for me.
The beginning reminds me of verum rex
The art style is more inspired in final fantasy or kingdom hearts than in Nier or drakengard (except the CG cutscene of drakengard 3)
How can? I think it is obviously the style more like nier (and KH) than FF. I don’t really see any resemblance to FF too. FF always have strong art styles in the architecture and fashion. If you mean with art style is character, yeah it is a little bit like Tetsuya Nomura. The MC like Lightning (or Lumina) and the second like Aranea.
@@user-vb5rg8hn6t the shibuya section looks more like the first concepts of ff versus 13, a lot of the areas look ff13-inspired, even Schrödinger town has the altissia feeling.
The art style in general is FF inspired (meaning the cutscene direction and character proportions).
The architecture doesn’t look anything like Nier tbh, I can see the KH style (but KH is final fantasy with disney basically)
Even the ground movement is inspired in FFXV
FF doesn’t have a specific fashion or architecture style, but the “art style”, meaning graphic art style is the same (at least currently), AIKODE takes inspiration from the modern FF art style, drakengard 3 CG intro has the modern FF art style too, but Nier has a completely different art style (even in the CG cutscenes)
What i took from Nier was the air movement (except the flying), the dash and part of the combat (combined with the teleport of FFXV and the lock on of KH)
AIKODE is a mix of a lot of games, you can also see the gravity rush inspirations on the level style for example. But i can assure you the art-style and visuals are definitely inspired by FF with the contrast and lights of KH (or ff9 and 13)
This is an absolute shameless plug of someone's half baked game. Nothing more.
I hope you enjoyed the demo!
have you been inspired by NieR-like games such as the pending Stellar Blade? It has a similar feel to it
Amazing! Added to my wishlist. I see that ACE appears to be the only one working on 3D and development. I wonder how long this project has been worked on until this demo. Amazing work! 😊
I did. I especially like how you break the 4th wall. It looks great. I am already a big fan and I gonna buy it when it's available.
That's amazing, trully !!!! ✨🙏🏻😵 I hope you receive the sucess you deserve. I also wish that one day this game will be released on consol e (I don't know if it's already planned... 😅) You have all my support ! 💪🏻🦾🌌🎆
@@claudijatzandrapova3347I’ve been inspired by Nier games (and yoko taro’s work).
The main inspirations of the full game are the FF13 saga (including FF versus 13) and DrakeNier games! (With a bit of gravity rush, persona and yakuza)
Mindful guys that the whole thing is mostly made by one person, so to achieve this kind of polishness is amazing.
Thanks!
Eternights feel
That killed it for me. Yoko Toros blessing is not enough.
@@user-bz7qg5xw6h So the fact that it was made by one person as a love letter to the video games they love killed it for you? Interesting, that’s for sure.
This is why this game needs to be supported, to encourage more small devs to make games that look this good
kicking the cat was the biggest plot twist i saw from other games
it broke my heart ugh T^T
😅😅😅
Yeah that quirk made me hopeful this game will still have some light parts
Fantastic 😂
The last thing I expected to see was a girl punting a talking cat into the ocean.
I know💀 Also, that cat is a reference to the movie American Psycho
omg the moment i read your comment that happened on screen for me LOL
Broke me
Strong nier vibes, she's even glitching out.. The tone highly gives a impression of dark twist midway too
This game breaks the fourth wall. Okay I am sold. Wish listed.
Not gonna lie, the game looks very cool. But nobody here can convince me otherwise…. that this game doesn’t feel like final fantasy. It feels like a big lot of inspiration was taken from Nier Automata. Like a lot of inspiration was taken from Yoko Taro games.
That white haired character is literally Zero from Drakengard…
The game takes inspiration from a lot of things, including FF and DrakeNier, but you can see the inspiration of the FF13 saga in a lot of aspects. (Even the card attacks are inspired in ACE from FF TYPE 0)
Wow, a psychological action JRPG? What the hell is this and why didn't we get it sooner? Strong FF and Kingdom Hearts vibes. That story featuring AI and how it perceives reality can develop into some philosophically incredible story, or flop. I surely hope it develops incredibly well and amazes us with something fresh and "unique" in this world of less unique but equally amazing games.
Thanks for sharing, hope to see more of this game in the future!
Lol this has nothing to do with FF or kingdom hearts.. this is obviously inspired by NieR series and drakengard 3 but I suppose you haven’t played those games.. 🤷🏻♂️🙄
@@MonsteRNieR I've heard of Drakengard, and just recently played Nier Automata. And yeah, it touches more philosophical themes as in Nier, but I saw more aesthetic references to those other series I mentioned 🤓
For a game that never came out, it's kinda crazy how many other projects Final Fantasy Versus XIII influenced.
A city inspired by Shibuya, a character dressed in black (during the beginning) eyes of two colors (I'll call It fábula heterochromia from now on).
Some music seemed inspired by Yoko shimomura aswell, but later this project achieved some nier vibes with the white building, vocals and butterfly in the eye
it will appear believe it or not
I can tell this is drakengard inspired I love the art direction when it comes to the stages I can’t wait to play it though. One thing I do love is how this game has its own identity while still giving that nostalgia PS2 feel but more modernize
Yeah my idea was to take the old RPGs and the old games feeling/vibe but with modern/current graphics!
almost an kingdomhearts
it isnt strange they liked that tech demo from SE...
it really got my attention
Looks like Kingdom Hearts x Nier which sounds like an amazing mix. I'm sold!
I'm seeing a mix of Kingdom Hearts and the Fabula Nova Crystalis Project ♥
Yesir!
Yoko Taro, is that you?? A *fabulous* new work nears!!
Never thought I would see so many drakengard players in one place 😂
fr😂😂
It looked interesting. The combat animation looks beautiful and cute. Red and Blue heterochromia eyes and digital reality are reference Matrix.
a bit unexpected when she kick that poor innocent black cat.
Its interesting how giving options to people make them do stuff like this, just like human freedom… and well, you know what they say, curiosity killed the cat.
Probably my favourite boss music of all time what the heck, from a random game like this
The music of AIKODE is gonna be thicc, especially how it’s used in gameplay, I can assure you that!
@@AIKODE amazing job dev, looks like i've found diamond in rough
@@AIKODEdo you have a rough release date yet?
yea its calling to me ..wanna play this
Wait of minute, she in Tokyo where sora at from kingdom hearts trailer!
Yup! That’s Shibuya! (A real district of Tokyo)
This looks super ambitious. Wish you the best on your project!
wait so Aikode is the game for that one tech trailer that came out ages ago with the adult twins, eye blue eyes the other red, fighting against dolls?
No. It's an original project
Maybe inspired by that, and by nier, and by drakengard, and by final fantasy versus xiii, and kingdom hearts
Wooow I love the vibes of FF 13-2 in this game!
The main characters is like Serah and the pet like Kupo
This looks super good. Definitely excited to see the final product 🔥
Thanks!
To this day I'm still hoping it will come to Nintendo switch 2 ( whatever its going to be called) only one can dream
Using FF might be more of a marketing tactic. But I'm not getting any FF vibes. The entire showcase felt like it was straight out of Yoko Taro's playbook. And I'm here for it.
It’s inspired by FF13 saga tho! But yeah, lot of yoko taro inspiration too!
If you watch the latest trailer you can see a lot of the 13 inspiration in the level and character designs, looking to be a great game so far
Some parts also give of ffxv vibes in combat and movement animations
@@DrRedMan yeah, keep in mind FFXV was part of the 13 saga at the start (so when I say 13 saga I also include type 0 and ffxv)
@@AIKODE Ah that's fair. I've only played the first 13, and never chewed into to the others. But I can see XV with the dashing around, and grapple.
Honestly I was just blinded by all the Yoko Taro-ness. I've 100% every Drakengard/Nier game, huge fan. I will maintain a reasonable amount of hype for your game. Best of luck with everything!
I want to play this. It looks very interesting.
Square's rpg format just feels so right for every jrpg title
God let this game release with a 60fps mode on consoles.
Thats my plan!
It's very similar to Nier games, they even did some things the same (kombat, map design, storytelling style, the thing flying above us, etc.) Even the character in the main image looks like the character in Drakengard 3
Yup, Nier was a strong inspiration (combined with a lot of other games tbh)
Gravity rush vibes 😎
Definitely an inspiration!
@@AIKODE Y'all making the right decisions!
NO KILLING CATS WASN'T IN GRAVITY RUSH AND GRAVITY RUSH WAS BEAUTIFUL HOPE A GOOD STORY POSITIVITY FRIENDS SAVING THE WORLD
THIS GAME IS TOO DARK AND DEPRESSING
@@ssniper_cat Yup! Gravity rush was an inspiration for movement and level design, the story and vibe is darker than gravity rush...
The killing cat mechanic is not something for the final game, just a little "experiment" to test people actions in the demo and a reference to schrodinger's cat
this i nice i love it added to wishlist
Wow this game looks amazing, nice graphics, combats seem very satisfying and the story is the kind of ones that, I think, will break my mind, I love that xD This has a Nier feeling sometimes on this point.
Yeah! Nier (and yoko taro’s work) was one of the inspirations!
What a unique game idea,...i am curious where it will lead us :)
Verum Rex
This looks like kingdom hearts and yozora thing in KH3😂
Nope not at all. NieR x Drakengard 3
The way she kicked the cat has my jaw dropped. I was so invested in that cats life. AND THE FLIP 😭
I don't know about "like FF" but from I've seen in this vid, it's more like "Kingdom Heart" vibe.
A mix of everything tbh, lots of inspirations! (FF13 was a big inspiration)
The whole Shibuya and heterochromia sure is reminescent from both Noctis and yozora, but the second half has more of a nier and drakengard atmosphere
11:40 the camera during the bossfight needs to be fixed. its better if we can see the whole boss when we get close
For a second, I thought it's a new Drakengard Game. That's Zero. The girl with a flower on her left eye.
Edit: this looks great though.
Thanks!
@@AIKODE i can see zero again ty ❤
Idk how i feel about the cat killing part, aside from that game looks cool to play, big nier and kingdom hearts vibes
Omg the moment the white haired girl entered the forest-like place the BGM resembeled City of Ruines in Nier Automata!! I find this amazing because love that haha
This is so cool . Fr 🖤
Thanks!
3:56 Can't wait to hear the full version of this.
Reminds me a lot of "TK - White Silence"
this looks so nice wtf
Thanks!
Reminds me of drakengard 3 and Nier
excited
Looks like 2B if she had a butterfly instead of the blindfold
Oh, boy. Just wait until this man discovers Drakengard.
@@YoRHa2Che has Zero idea
Zero*
@@YoRHa2C used have it on PS2 since it was also an SE game she had a flower right eye
Yes this game will look good in vr with uevr mod
This is giving a LITTLE bit of Final Fantasy vibes. But I'm more rather getting Verum Rex and NieR vibes and a little bit of KH. The girl's eyes I'm the first part of the video made me think of Yozora and then the setting in the next stage was giving a little bit of Twilight Town and then the 3rd stage was giving Daybreak Town vibes. As for the 4th stage, MADE NieR Automata vibes. All this to say, I LOVE THIS!!! And can we just talk about how beautiful the music is too?
these characters' eyelashes are on FLEEK!
Great gameplay preview, cool action RPG. :) Playlisted this one for sure. Bright Memory Infinite 1 person was impressive visually and furthered hack m slash/shooter aspects well, even if short it made sense why and was worth it for the time they took to make it short doesn't mean bad.
A visually impressive RPG or adventure game sort of demo/project or so sure looks awesome keep up the good work some characters give some inptessions but its fine.
The dialogue and transitions/effects were good. Heard Schrodinger's cat references a lot but irs fine. It suits with the cats too of course. A very SciFi adventure and what to believe is true angle I guess? Or whatever mind bending stuff or whatever the case. Either way its cool. Took a while I bet but its coming along very well.
Some reflections were good, fair lighting which as not a far of ray tracing it looked good, water qas interesting , I haven't seen good water animations though yet just pretty standard, character detail varied by camera angle. Was good enough. I don't find many western ones water/shine to be that appealing even. It is really impressive but sometimes the character detail from a distance probably makes sense but sometimes they did look a bit flat or pale and not that great but then again in engine then a video looks mhch better no doubt.
To me AI learning and unlearning their moves (attacks, speed, defence, weapons, interactions), the players moves (not just a clone/dark version) besides just NPC continuous job route like stuff. Thats what I want to see in the future woth gaming viduals to me are good enough and no amount of glass/reflections or lighting makes me care.
The character moveset and the skating was pretty good.
Killing cats was a surprise but its something for the player to do.
The cur off areas make sense for story or the experience O guess and a world is hard to do/limits details to be scaled accordingly but its fine. The controlled focus makes sense for what was to be demoed/story told or whatever the case and thats totally fine (and I like linear anyway, better design of combat/puzzles/level design and ability use and more moveset/story structure flowing I find, I don't think so with RPGs but more so platformers, puzzle games well obstacle course type 3D ones not Tetris/Bejeweled type, hack n slashes and otherwise).
Animations with sticks versus motion making it realistic like has been an experiment I have always been curious about but I enjoy any console/controller gimmicks or old games experimenting but do predict what I want to see in the future that isn't formulaic and AAA dead ends. Gaming is fine with animations being the way they are but the curiosity os still always there ever since the Unrecord or whatever that Steam trailer was. Just hopped into my head of hmm is that possible and to make it fun or not but just trialed out. Of hands or legs. Interactivity in the hands.
Playing as teo characters 1 per stick works then a weird balance some games try to do and don't even use motion the 3rd analogue stick in a way. Sigh. Or 2 sticks, d-pad as well even. Face buttons. 5 movement options. Triggers for directions. Anything os possible it depends how people use inputs and code/animate to match.
That and some Indies do great, others nostalgic inspiration and just disappointing repeating the hits when the forgotten have better ideas.
Competition of reepated top title inspiration id a boting future to me in the racing or platformer genre but less so in other genres of puzzle or others qhere Indies are excelling at it with great ideas.
Either way good job here very visually impressed. 9/10
Looks like Echidna in thumbnail :P
It looks like Kingdom Hearts, Nier and Final Fantasy had a child, I love it instant buy by Release
The beginning part whwre the girl with pink hair is running around the town is what i feel like it would look like if KH UnionX stuff was on the ps5. Also, no to the kicking cat things. Will not be doing that.
There is a big inspiration in KH for sure!
They just need to make Agni's Philosophy into a full game.
This game looks amazing!
The Yoko Taro is strong in this one. Dragongard Nier Automata everywhere. Even the loop back.
Nier Automata most definitely has influenced video games over the recent years. Stellar Blade is coming out in less than two months, and now I'm just learning about this game.
This is a beautiful time for video games!
Zero❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Big inspiration, i really love her design!
The solo dev is talented af for this but I wish this game was more original and less a culmination of tetsuya nomura's bad writing and borrowed character designs. Either way best of luck you! Happy game deving!
this game seems interesting it's a possible buy in my book...
My hype for these Unreal Engine 5 games are as high as my electric bills gonna be
@AIKODE how close are you to release?
The guy is clearly a diehard fan of Square-Enix. This game has so many KH, FF and Nier vibes I lost the count.
insane cloth physics
I absolutely loved everything about this!!! Only 2 things i really hate and is a dealbreaker is the main character's hair is directly copied from Final Fantasy 13 but the long part is mirrored on both sides. All the other girl characters in this demo have better hair.
2nd thing i hate is how fighting in the game is just dancing!? What? Give her a weapon please?
Fix these things and i guarantee this game will blow up and become historical
That's totally fantastic.
This feels more like a NieR game with no more high heels and a modern camera position
Damn bruh
Thank the gods for blessing us with Unreal Engine 5 !
I can’t wait to see how kingdom hearts 4 and Verum Rex look using the engine !!!
Wouldn't really say final fantasy, but really reminds me of Kingdom of Hearts
Especially the beginning of KH2
The Nier/Drakenguard influence is crazy
Nice homage to Nier. This is how it may look like indeed.
Actually, the whole thing about making an exact copy of Shibuya screams KINDGOM HEARTS to me and certainly makes me think of Quadratum
But also very FF
But VERY KH reminiscent in style
woah that intro so cool
Heavy Nier and Nier Automata vibes here. I like it
This looks like one of those Patreon games that have been in pre-alpha stage for 5 years.
good indie game
Hearing the opening, I was expecting for her to go "I have a law degree." lmao
we’re all puppets. 😉
It feels vibe from kingdom heart
Need to see if this demo on the ps store for ps5
It will be eventually! And improved version of the demo
@@AIKODEyou guys are treating us on PS to your game? Thank you, that's awesome of you and can't wait to add it to my PS5
@@claudijatzandrapova3347 yup! It will release in consoles and PC!
Nice2😎👍
Tf? was that an American psycho reference lol 😂. Everything looks amazing. The vibes are otherworldly and really intriguing and the ost just sounds majestic. Will definitely be playing this when it releases
Thanks! And yeah, that was an American psycho reference lol
I love patrick bateman memes and also the narrative of the actual movie!
@@AIKODE thats awesome haha 😄
Nia design IS a FF design but everything else is Nier, specialy this existencial crisis question.I keep my eyes on this game.
The next scene game is look like twilight town.
The fact that you can punt cats I am now buying the collector's edition.
'Doit absolument sortir sur console
reminds me of ffxv, ffxiii and ffvii remake. Ffxv with the style and animations, ffxiii with some characters, music and other animations. Little bit of a KH and Nier vibe too. Nice
Use UE5 to create vast and highly detailed environment.
Make you speed through most of it.
Dont worry, full game will be open world, this is just a demo for events!
'Nia' gave me mild Ff13 Sarah vibes and the woman whonkeeps calling her Aiko gives me serious Lumina Vibes ( ff13LR) it can't just be me right?
As a big ff and Kh and nier automata this is literally everything i've been asking for , + the soundtrack is insanely good, i really wanna know if there is a preview of this soundtrack in 4:01 im really looking forward to hopefully this game someday will be a full project and for ps5
nier automata ctrl+C
AIKODE ctrl+v
mountain of pseudo-philosophical nonsense ctrl+v
another GENIUS project are ready!!!
Hey is that Sarah from FFXIII ?
Seems like they just copy and paste the souls like combat that is on sale at the epic store, NieR:Automata copy
Idk about that souls like combat, this is a hack and slash or action RPG… Also I didn’t see any of these environments in Nier:Automata but if you say is a copy i guess it’s a copy lol (let’s ignore all the other games I “copied” like final fantasy, gravity rush, anthem, kingdom hearts, persona, virtues last reward, etc…)
It's dmc style hack nd slash.. similar to bayonetta,nier etc... have some common knowledge about genre bruh
@@AIKODEyou don't need to explain anything to others sir..... every genre of gaming are similiar in many ways...after call of duty, every military shooter is just a cod Copy according to amateur gamers... but it's not... its just same genre and inspiration
@@Mr.Eminemalso them saying is a souls clone, when the souls games are "copies" of other games aswell as the story being "copied" from berserk, everything is inspired by something else that's how new ideas spring to life
Day 1 buy
Thanks!
Definitely more of a Nier vibe than i Final Fantasy vibe but still digging it!
I love the music so much!
I think the intro is a lawsuit waiting to happen lmao.
Waiting for that💀
6:46 my only question…. *why*
