Forspoken: Is Forspoken a Final Fantasy Game?

Forspoken Release Date

Release of Forspoken has been pushed back till January 24, 2023. Already being September, and with a gameplay video out, it seems safe to believe that Luminous Productions, makers of Final Fantasy XV, will be able to meet their release date.

Which Consoles Will Forspoken Release On?

Both the PlayStation 5 and personal computers will be available to play Forspoken. PS4 owners, I realise it’s easier said than done, but you need to upgrade to a PS5 or a high-quality PC for gaming as soon as possible. In 2022, next-gen consoles will be the only place to play games like Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

Forspoken Story – Alice in Wonderland

While the whole details of Forspoken’s past remain unclear, I will share what I have learned. Frey, a little girl from New York who was magically transported to a place called Athia, is the protagonist (hence, the original name of the game). She has her own magical abilities as a result (there are more than a hundred spells available, which is totally awesome). I was reminded of Skyrim while reading this.

Almost everyone in Asia is out to get you, and the few that aren’t (such as villagers) are subject to Matriarchs, strong magicians who will likely make your life a living hell regardless of what you do. Through it all, you look for a route home, but you know that you can’t achieve that unless you save the planet. Routine stuff for a hero.

From the many trailers released over the past few months, we may deduce that the world of Forspoken will consist of grassy plains, a desert region, and a smattering of villages. To me, the stark contrast between grassland and desert is very appealing. Similar to opposite sides of a coin.

Forspoken Gameplay

Forspoken is a free-roaming action role-playing game (RPG) with parkour elements and a visually appealing combat system. It appears like the motion is something that fans will appreciate. To be brief, a sprint here and there is always a good time. Frey, however, is equipped with a lasso that allows her to climb vertical surfaces. Similar to Horizon’s Aloy, almost.

But bear in mind that you can’t achieve all that without spending any money (because, hey, even in video games, nothing is ever free). Sage). If you don’t keep an eye on your stamina meter, it will get lower and lower until it’s empty. Combat also depletes stamina, so don’t waste it on buffs before charging into a boss fight. Terrible plan.

Forspoken features the usual fare for open-world games, such as battling and exploring at will, as well as:

collect and craft materials like flowers or crystals
collect mana points to learn new spells
rest and craft in your base
main and side quests
find and open chests with loot
boss fights all around the world á la Elden Ring

Forspoken Play Time

It takes about 30 to 40 hours to complete Forspoken, according to an interview with 3DJuegos with Forspoken co-director Takeshi Terada. Yet, those timeslots are reserved for the primary task at hand. Terada noted that that number will climb with exploration and side tasks.

Forspoken Trailer

Forspoken was initially unveiled at The Game Awards 2021. Even though there have been numerous trailers for it, you probably already know how YouTube works. If the trailer for Forspoken has piqued your interest, you may learn more about the film by searching for it on YouTube. Period.
