Out of curiosity, when were review copies sent out?
@@Happyfoam-lw3yt 1 week ago for me
What they want in return?
@@BoomstickGaming may I ask how many hours?
Hey Boomstick Alex, what control scheme do you recommend please?
60 hours in and no end in sight yet. Been awhile that I truly felt I got my moneys worth out of a new release. If you’re considering the game i doubt you’d regret it! 🎉
13 hours in and 48% 💀 this sh8 is meaty
@@sayer3035 Especially if you’re like me lol. I’m a stoner so every three seconds i have to stop to take in the sights!
@@patrickbrannigan8I haven't smoked in 3 years and just started again just to play this game😂
@@morningstarx5340 Hope you enjoy brother 🙏🏻 I had an amazing experience!
Totally agreed the game has been worth the money . Im about 30 hours I think . Still feel as the game is going to get better
The combat variety in this game surprised me. I love Final Fantasy XVI
If you mean the stuff he showed in his video, yes it helps. It looks like it’s going to be a little more interesting as long as we’re not just spamming the same combo.
Combat variety meaning different things you can do but don't really need to?
@@semitope Actually, I wasn't really feeling it had any or enough variety until I saw the tips he posted here. In the demo I completely missed that you could slot in the eikons across color groups.
Also, his combo strategy will actually give me a reason to use my Sony pro controller. It' might be the first game with something that's a lot easier to pull off using the mapped buttons underneath.
@@semitopeyou don't need to play the game either
@@semitopeYeah like why should I use other builds that are worthless when I can just cheese every boss with my rivers of blood bleed build.
This wasn’t mentioned here.. But Diamond Dust (shiva’s ult) maxes out the dmg multiplier (1.50x) immediately during stagger window. When an big enemy gets staggered, I usually open with DD then go into more devastating moves like Zantatsuken lvl 5 and Gigaflare.
Yeah and you don’t have to waste slots on 2+ moves just to get to 1.5x. I keep seeing “pro tips” recommending the lightning rod ability. It’s not that hard to get to 1.5 and even if it was, just using more high damaging moves is usually better anyway.
@@aidanmcgrath792 I still have Lightning rod equipped, but not for the purpose of building multiplier, but for building dancing steel zan meter. You can build zan meter instantly with it. You can probably squeeze in 2-3 lvl Zan within one stagger window.
Wall texture photo got a chuckle out of me : )
Love that beep boop cooldown sound effect
You got my sub for the "Fast 16 Chocobo Drift" lmao
I really appreciate "katamari'd" as a verb. Great tips mate!
Awesome tips as always! I learned a lot of cool stuff.
This game's combat is absolutely packed with fun nuances. I love it.
Thanks for sharing these extremely useful tips! Love the Chocobo air juggle combos! Side quests with green plus signs - got it!!! All the best!
This game is phenomenal man
Cannot express how much i appreciate and enjoy your videos dude. I WAS going to wait a bit on this game
Best tips video I’ve found yet. Amazing ty man. Finally a good tips and tricks video. Rest are all mostly common sense.
I watched until the very very very end! Awesome video man. I’d be that guy that sells all the old gear so that was really helpful lol.
I see DMC and Dragons Dogma element in it, thats awesome.
so many tips videos out there but i keep coming back to this one, thank you boom
Of all things I'm most glad to know in advance to keep my gear around, that'll save me some hassle.
I think the 4 hit sword combo with magic out of first melee combo and then hold until end is actually even better than stated. because since you only slow down one time out of the first hit, you not only do more dmg per combo, you don’t mess up as often, and you don’t have the input delay of the combo by having to hit triangle in between just spamming square. the time to finish the combo is tenths of seconds faster so the dps is also higher
You have the best most concise tips on this game and makes me excited to try these out. Thanks.
Definitely useful! I didn’t know about the precision sic. Also that combo with charged magic is new to me. Thanks so much!
I literally just changed my control type back to A after thinking that the full Magic Burst combo is the best way to combo in the game.. I'm going back to B thanks to this... I didn't even think about using the charged magic attack while combo'ing with standard attacks... This game kicks ass btw, didn't expect that the battle system would be as awesome as it is...
Great tips! This will be My first FF game! after the demo I immediately preordered the physical copy.. will keep coming back for more content 🙏🫡🛡️🗡️🙌
As somebody who loved DMC5, and also played the demo for this game, looking forward to delving even more in depth in this game. Also suuuper jealous of the early access you had to the game lol.
As always, thanks for your concise, in-depth, incredibly useful tips, Alex!
Great video! Learned a lot here that other videos havent been covering. Good stuff!
Excellent tips as always. You make the best tips videos I've found anywhere online. You've also clearly got skillz. I'm pumped to unlock some of the abilities you showed that I don't have yet.
Bro you always have the most useful and unique tips 👌🏾
Best tips and tricks CZcamsr period! 👊
Thank you as always for putting these videos out Alex. Looking forward to diving into the full game myself.
I’ve beaten 1-15. I know there’s no beating the MMOs but I have put 100s of hours in both 11+14. This is a Final Fantasy game regardless of what people say, and I love it. The combat makes you feel like a god when approaching new game +. All the haters need to put 30 hours in and realize its glory.
I subscribed. Thanks for the video. It helps. I'm looking forward to finding out more as I dive into the game today.
Again, thank you.
Thank you for these tips. Can't wait to finally play this tomorrow.
This was a great video for an incredible game. Thank you!
Thank you for these tips, I found a number of them very helpful and game changing combat experience. 5/5!
I really liked that you use "This Primal" and "That Primal" to indicate them. It helps preventing a lot of spoilers!
Thanks a lot!
very nice Alex, i learned quite a bit, especially about the charged shot combos
I went into this game after missing the last few. Wow, this story is so good
Gotta admit, the how to capture wall texture tip caught me off guard 🙃
Bahamut is great for juggles. Also when you are flying around while your flare meter is charging stay close to enemies and go for the precision dodge. This instantly gives you one full gauge. Also remaining stationary builds the meter faster.
Also Garuda has the best stagger meter attacks. And precision dodges with Shiva will cause it to freeze any and all enemies solid for 2 seconds even when they are in the middle of an unblockable attack creating space and giving you an opportunity to retaliate.
Thanks for all the tips, specially the one about holding the melee and magic buttons, didn't have an idea we could do those combos, hope i can adjust fast to type c controls fast
Finally someone explaining combat with such detail. When people say combat is boring and repetitive, they clearly hadn't tried more combos than using Eikon skills, wait for cooldown and dodge attacks xd
SUPER HELPFUL! Thank you
Nice 1 and timely, thank you.
Thank you for these tips🤩🤩
Keep up the good video tips, thx. I learned a few things I didn't know.
Amazing video, thank you for tips and tricks :D most blessed by your existence
Yes! Love this video. I was using type b for the demo but I think c will be better
thank you for the video. your videos are always more helpful than other channels. greatly appreciate your content
Amazing tips! I'm 20 hours in and did NOT know about the chocobo skills :D
What an incredible experience. I just finished this game yesterday and there were a couple of these I hadn't used in the game. The Will of the Wykes skill I literally never used even though normally I love skills like that. It just didn't match my playstyle, but seeing how you used it along with a couple other skills like Ignition I was impressed. Same with the knock up skills, I avoided doing a lot of air combat and used chain lightning or charged magic to knock them down. Really didn't know about the Torgal punishes or the chocobo drifting! Thanks for a great video
Damn near every point was hella useful! Thanks!
This video definitely helped as a refresher for coming back to play the Echos of the Fallen DLC 🎉
Wow, im like 30 hours in and you literally just blew my mind with the conplexity that is possible with this combat! I'm excited to jump back in!
Thanks Alex❤
Awesome video. I'm 75% done with story and learning about these new combos should help out alot.
I'm not one to look at any kind of video game spoiler like 99% of the gaming community does so going into this game I didn't know anything at all. It had a slow wind up but I am pleasantly surprised with this one, love the game!
Umbasa! 16 months later I STILL use your chug for days Elden Ring DAY ONE get OP video on all my new starting characters. That was a work of genius and I still am playing elden ring. Do you think you'll be playing FF16 for a long time and does it allow "builds" per se. Anyway, I am trying to stay 100% BLIND on this one so I didn't watch the video but maybe i'll come back after a few hours in! Umbasa!
Appreciate that! Yea, it has a diversity of builds for sure. For the higher difficulty mode, it says you need to have your build on point. I'm currently working on getting into that mode.
Green plus signs quests on my way , this is so much helpful, so the game realy opens up after the mid part, now im excited 😮
I watched a recent playthrough of the demo and I was in awe! I placed an order for a PS5 the very next day just so that I could play FF16. It’ll arrives this Saturday and I’m so stoked. Thanks so much for the tips!
So, how are you liking your new PS5?
@@TypicallyUniqueOfficial loving it! It arrived a day early and I promptly jumped into FF16 and played pretty much non-stop and just finished it on Saturday morning. Mind blowing and Amazing game and the PS5 worked flawlessly. I played on graphics mode and the console definitely delivered!
Great tips, I learned a lot! I want to point out one thing about the double-charging though: you should NOT wait to release both and then start charging again, it’s suboptimal. Because you can start charging the magic attack already when the melee attack animation plays out, and vice versa. So basically you keep both buttons charged all the time, and just momentarily release the other finger to release the attack, and then start immediately holding it again during the animation.
Once you find the correct rhythm, you can basically charge-dance and deliver charged attacks non-stop. At least in the early game this has given me the best stagger damages by far, when those other options are not yet available.
Thanks for the info about the berserker ring! I saw a streamer using it and thought it was a part of the limit break move set but I was so confused when I tried to figure out how to do it. It’s one of my favorite animations in the games combat and I can’t wait to try it out once I have the ring! Dope air combo in the beginning too btw. 😁👍🔥
What needs to be noted regarding the Berserker Ring, it only improves your melee combo. Without the ring you can use a charged magic attack after a precision dodge, but with the ring you only do a normal magic attack, so it is not the ultimate "keep it on all the time" but use it when you want get chummy with melee combat only.
I finished my first playthrough and didn't know most of this, thank you for the tips
This video changed the way i fight in the game, thanks so much:)
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
This was clutch, thank you
The tip for doing the parry with the charged attack was a *game changer* for me. Idk why but parry timing feels weird to me but not anymore
Thx Alex. Great run through
Thanks can’t wait to buy this game today 😍😍😍😍
This game starts off gentle but then keeps opening up more combat options and keeps getting better and better the more you play. I love it.
you can also use shiva's circle ability while an enemy is staggered to freeze the stagger timer for a couple seconds each time (if you land it right) and using it in between spamming abilities can make for some gnarly long stagger combos
It's pre-ordered and pre-installed for me. 900pm my time!
If you’ve never fully charged Bahamuts circle skill use tornado and hide inside.
parrying with charged attack was most useful tip.
Im half way through the game and barely knew any of these tips. Subbed 👍🏻
Thanks for these tips
Thnx a lot for these tips, i’m a noob at the game. I won’t skip the sidequests anymore lol.
Thanks for the helpful tips! Really hyped to play this! The game is kinda overwhelming for me (lots of numbers and things on screen) but I’ll keep referencing this video to improve:)
Total chaos on screen.😅
This game is SO sick! AWESOME video!
Wow. I feel like i can olay this game like a pro after this. This was super extensive. Much props, Alex
I really love the game and I thought I would be bored of the combat but with the variety of ability combos you can make really helps and obviously the lightning orb is just stupid op...
Great Tips! For the combos demonstrated at 6:43, I know the 6-hit combo ending in the charged shot does the most damage, but does anyone know if the 8-hit alternating combo does more stagger damage?
I'm glad Ignition was mentioned because the move is almost broken with how great it is with clearing the field for you. I also give it the 10% bonus gear and tear through everything. It will also get you to the 1.5x when you open with it on a stagger, then quickly use the rest of your super moves and it will most likely be ready to use one more time at the end of the stagger.
I suggest doing ALL side quests they are all tied to trophies and missing even one quest can lock you out of special items
Mastering Cleves regular abilities non eikon do also change their cast times or attributes yes? Like lunge mastered adds a fire attack?
Great video thanks! And those combos god knows if I can do them 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Tend to use upgraded impulse with the orb cus it still gets to the max multiply (especially if you use ignition on it) plus its also a good ranged ability as it hits enemies and hold them in place, and if its a boss all orbs focus it for free DoT
just started this game, the combat is amazing, playing this game feels like an epic movie
Duuude I didn't know any of this. Finally new moves!
I finally just started playing and to see how fast those combos are at 1:40 in your vid is pumping me up.
Is there a speed skill set that im not running into just yet because my combos aren't twerking like that
Awesome 😎👍
I have 44 hours into the game and learned some new tips! Thank you!
Wow a lot of these I was not aware of. I’ve been doin’ it wrong.
which control type is the best? Ive started with type A but I really want to master the combat and utilize every move in the future...
wow this was amazing, most tips videos just say obvious stuff, this was more in depth
May I ask what the sword ur using in the charged attack tip 14?
Thanks Alex ❤
I just started today and 3 hours later I felt as if Ive barely even semi scratched any sort of surface. 😂 but I’m hooked and can’t wait to play more, more and more. 😎👍🏻
I haven't seen one video say why to save old gear. TY 👍
Do you have any tips on how to level up torgal’s sic and ravage abilities fast?
