After nearly 20 years at Capcom working on combat for games like Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Devil May Cry 4, and most recently, Devil May Cry 5, Suzuki decided he was ready for something new.<\/p>\n<p>That &#8220;something new&#8221; turned out to be FFXVI. The game\u2019s director, Hiroshi Takai, and its producer, Naoki Yoshida, offered Suzuki a role at Creative Business Unit III, leading FFXVI\u2019s combat design. And now, on June 22, players will be able to feel what I felt during a recent hands-on preview of the game: it\u2019s very Devil May Cry meets Final Fantasy, in the best way.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Final Fantasy 16: Dungeon Exploration And Boss Fight | New Gameplay Today\" width=\"970\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SXh4jdvY7oI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While playing, one thing I noticed was that FFXVI doesn\u2019t really grade your performance in combat like Devil May Cry, despite feeling like the kind of action game that would. That\u2019s intentional, according to Takai.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou maybe didn\u2019t realize it, but while you\u2019re playing the game, the game is actually telling the score in the background,\u201d he says. \u201cThe reason we don\u2019t show this all the time goes back to that core concept of making this game not just for the hardcore players, but making it for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen someone\u2019s playing a game, and they feel like they\u2019re doing well\u2026they think, \u2018I\u2019ve tried my best\u2019 and then get Rank 6. We look at that as a demotivator for some players and we didn\u2019t want that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2023\/02\/22\/bacdcbe4\/ffxvi_rings1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, for the action players that do want to see how they performed in combat, Final Fantasy XVI will have a special unlockable mode just for that. It\u2019s called Arcade Mode and will be accessible from a special in-game hub after it\u2019s unlocked by progressing through Clive\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this mode, players will be able to replay stages that they\u2019ve already played, but this time with the score keeper on so you get to basically see your performance and how you\u2019re doing and then use that as a guide of how to improve yourself in the game,\u201d Takai says. \u201cThis\u2026will be attached to leaderboards so players will be able to see how they stack up against players from around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yoshida follows up, adding that it was really important to keep \u201cdowners\u201d like a big Rank C notification on-screen after combat out of the main scenario. He says it\u2019s not just about the score, though, because \u201cwe also know that we\u2019re going to have those players that are going to want to challenge themselves, that are going to want to see those scores, and that\u2019s why we have this optional content that will allow players to go in there and challenge themselves and aim for these higher scores.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2023\/02\/22\/949d6087\/ffxvi_1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As for how the scores will be calculated, Suzuki says \u201cfirst and foremost, the base is basically how much damage that you\u2019re dealing to enemies.\u201d However, dealing damage using special actions, like Eikonic abilities, will add bonus damage and points. Hitting multiple enemies at once does, too, as does nailing a perfect block and then nailing three more after it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scores go up based on the player\u2019s actual technique,\u201d Suzuki says. \u201cThis isn\u2019t limited to the Eikonic abilities. It\u2019s also based on Clive\u2019s regular abilities. For example, things like parrying when an enemy attacks\u2026and following up with different attacks\u00a0after that, whether they be Eikonic attacks or regular attacks, will earn you different points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I was not able to check out this Arcade Mode in-game, but it\u2019s nice to hear it\u2019s included.<\/p>\n<p>For more, read my full Final Fantasy XVI preview thoughts here.<\/p>\n<h2>Products In This Article<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/review_summary_game_cover\/public\/2022\/06\/14\/b3388f2a\/ff16_art.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Final Fantasy XVI<\/h3>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/game-thought.com\/news\/final-fantasy-16-will-feature-an-arcade-mode-with-devil-may-cry-style-combat-scores\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Final Fantasy XVI is the most action-forward mainline Final Fantasy game in the series yet, and that\u2019s in no small part due to the person behind its action: combat director Ryota Suzuki.
