- The DioField Chronicles is the newest SRPG from Square Enix for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox, and Steam in a year already packed with them, but is a very different style. There's a lot of great ideas here with just a few specific things holding it back, let's talk about what.

I absolutely loved the demo. The story and characters grabbed my attention quickly. Can’t wait for for pre-order copy to arrive
Excellent review and soooo detailed. Thanks Kevin!
I am loving this demo and am so glad more demos have been available for games I’m interested in! It’s the perfect way for me to see if I want to buy it! I def want to buy Diofield Chronicles. ❤
I’ll add it to my wishlist. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for the review, this one looked so weird at first when square announced it. Might check it out now!
Great video. I love the game reviews.
Does this guy wear a beanie in the desert too?
7:50 agreed. They should have everyone get the same exp. In reserve, assigned as an adjutant or a main fighter.
That's a dope fit 👌
I enjoyed the demo very much. Will def keep and eye out for mah switch!
Some of the most concise and helpful reviews on CZcams. Thanks for the great content! Love the shirt btw 👌
It's weird as someone whos played a lot of strategy rpgs, I was actually unimpressed by the demo. I was actually the opposite where I was sure I was going to buy this game when announced, but I tried the demo and decided not to buy it. Similarly with the new valkyrie profile, was initially sad to see the franchise shift to arpg go but after trying that demo It was pretty good! XD Anyways sqenix pumping them out nowadays a return to form??? them squaresoft days?? Excellent reviewer though and that shirt is absolutely fire!
RTSRPG. Seems really fun after playing the demo.
The combat looks very similar to Tower of Time if you're looking for more of this style.
Im so excited for this game!!!! ♥️
Diofield Chronicles actually looks very interesting to play. Will be picking up a physical copy for the backlog lol
Very cool
At last some reviewer talk about tried the hard difficulties, it's frustrated me when someone said the game is not "strategy" enough just because they play at normal difficulties.
I played the demo, finished it wanted to preorder it but def wont finished in a month’s time before the holiday releases, gotta wait for a sale maybe next year at least. But demo left a good impression on me tho.
This is on my wishlist, but I really need to get through my backlog before I pick this up.
For someone who loved the story and style of Triangle Strategy but didn't enjoy its tactical battles, this seems like the perfect game for me.
Stop teasing me with that split pad compact!
Edit: this is a very nuanced review though, great job, really stepping up your game.
All I could see was the blue beanie and blue pillow in the back ground.
I played the demo and sincerely, the impression it left in me was that of an indie companies first experiment into making a game. Not necessarily bad, but its just too rough at the edges. The pacing was also all over the place.
In on the bench for this but I will buy it now
the demo was cool ... kinda experimental but thats what I love ... The japanese devs are trying to make many RPGs .... as a fan of the rpg-genre I am really happy
Looks really cool. Not sure if I wanna pay a full 60 bucks for it right now, still on XC3 and that thing just begs for all my gaming time these days haha.
Are you going to review the new hori split pad fit / compact that shows on the thubnail??
Surprised your not talking about the PS5 Dev Kit video over on Macho Nacho Productions.
I hope this game sells well so that they can remake Front Mission Alternative with this engine. It’s almost too perfect for that.
Cool
So how Di U Field about it?
Couldn’t even really afford it but just pre ordered the collectors set with the board game.. lots of my friends who do CZcams shite and have played it already say it’s great and I trust them because they know the type of game I like .. eh .. 130 hours into xenoblade 3 and at the very end of chapter 7 before entering the final area and working on all the side story ascension quests.. gotta get that done quick before it arrives .. if only I didn’t have to work a mundane job to also survive -___-
Struggle
Work towards getting a job you like
Do you recommend switch or ps5 versión?
Where is you’re review of the new Hori controllers? I have been looking forward to it. You show them in a couple of thumbnails for the recent videos, but haven’t talked about them yet. Please post. Thanks and love the channel.
I’m in support of square’s upcoming offerings like Diofield, harvestella, Valkyrie elysium, and others bc their jrpgs that don’t really need to be high budgeted to satisfy the niche they’re going for. For these past few years I’ve felt the hd era has finally panned out for Japanese developers, and seeing these kinds of ps2-style games have got me fed for a while. These games don’t have to be stellar knock my socks of titles, just pleasant solid experiences are more than welcome.
This is the resurgence of the Golden age of square and enix. Hopefully they give us the parasite eve remake and maybe vagrant story could do with a polish
That’s a cool T
Reminds me of the combat from Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter
I was shocked with Square's investor letter early this year, brushing game design aside for NFT and metaverse praise. But their releases right now are just great, trying tons of new game design ideas for the company, and nailing all of them. Something we only knew from Nintendo themselves, their direct partners and maybe some Ubisoft studios on their own yet.
With the low textures and simplicity of the character models, I thought it would run a lot better on the Switch than what we got.
It’s a great game
It plays play star wars knights of the old republic, the first one from bioware it looks like
I need to replace my Switch want to try this game now
It's also on PS4&5 and Xbox series x&s so if you don't have a switch right now there's are other options
Looks similar to how growlanser plays
Like the shirt 👕
Great Video! Came here to see if I should play DioField/Triangle/or Ogre Reborn first as I don’t have a lot of game time.
I prefer a good political story, with a short battles and something not 50 hours long
Looks like a fun game! ✌️
I'd have preferred ports of the XIII trilogy
Better than Gamespot's review
Did you live in, what region in what state?
Think I'll pick up for ps5 got so many games coming out hard balance lol between switch and PS5 even few of the games are delayed on shipping from my preorders
Can you do elebits
Uh... why Baldur's Gate of all things? This game is basically 3D take of Growlanser games just by the looks of it.
How can I get that final fantasy shirt
New kind of rpg... these types of games have been out since the 90s...
I don't understand, why can't we reset our levels in new game plus? Triangle Strategy did this too. It is so annoying.
Why does no one remember Growlanser?
Looks cool, but are they just running out of names for these games?
I have play the games trust me bruh! At later chp is getting interested
my problem with nintendo is that they are forever 60$ even the third party "exclusives"
Octopath traveler is so cheap on steam now but on switch still 60 and i would really like to play this ones on switch...
Bro are you so cold that you always need to wear a Cap?
Square-Enix are always at their best when making traditional games like this. Hopefully they retire from the live service crap after recently striking out with Babylon's Fall and before that both Avengers & outriders as well. Give us more games like Diofield, Triangle Strategy, Octopath, Live A Live, stick to Final Fantasy & Dragon Quest & Kingdom Hearts because that's what you do best Square-Enix. More traditional games & no more live service crap from now on please Square-Enix.
Hard is easymode
Some people aren’t smart enough for this type of game.
This game has strong “7/10” energy- new ideas, but a few stumbles on the way. It’s definitely got a cool gameplay style, and I’m looking forward to trying it out
Srog?
That's a term for a type of legal document. XD
SRPG = Strategy Role Playing Game
Check out RPG 85 for streamed content of this
Quit teasing me with these thumbnails. Give us a review of those hori split pad compact controller
Kevin the Clown
i really wish this game had been a more traditional turn based strategy RPG - i was really interested in it until i tried the demo out and experienced the real time controls. just not really my cup of tea.
Does the series x have issues with frame drops too?
What is a SRPG my man
Strategy Role Playing Game 🤣 how do you not know this.
Square Role Playing a Game?
Gameplay just seems all around too easy and not quite as strategic as true turn-based like Triangle Strategy for example. Interesting idea, but doesn’t seem like anything more than an experiment to me so def not worth $60 with that being said
First
RTWP isnt new.
....as if the full game is already out....geez....these clickbaits...
Lol its literally out tomorrow just wait less than a day 🙄
Isn't it? Today is the release date edit: tomorrow actually.
But he's a CZcamsr that can get the game earlier for reviews
????? The game is out already
It comes out this Friday..? Ever heard of game reviews before
Technically, it is. It unlocks midnight Thursday local time, so 11pm my time, and it unlocked 11 hours ago if you set an xbox to new zealand time lol
Just so you know, if a game JUST comes out, and you already say "now that I've beaten it," I Immediately don't want to buy the game. That is a terrible terrible sales tactic.
I was very close to buying it in the Japanese eshop. Lol
