And isn't it a little premature to make a thread on this when the extent of our understanding is less than two dozen images and videos? Not even any text on it from the developers.
Ah man, Clonk was great, except for a few annoying idiosyncrasies. Weirdly, I never really compared Clonk and Minecraft in my head, though they are really astonishingly similar in a lot of ways.
They look and act A LOT like FF sprites.
They ARE the Final Fantasy warrior sprites!
That is some nostalgic sword swinging. That alone makes me kind of want to play.
heres a link to that

also, from what im seeing, this game is playing like i wanted minecraft to play. monsters drop mats that are required for things, built structures have more than 1 use (spawn a merchant!!) ect.
oh good. i killed my own thread. this happens too often i think.

I can't believe how little Minecraft has changed and evolved since its early days. How hard can it be to add short swords/long swords/scimitars/knives/spears/polearms/shields etc.? I don't care if they're samey, just let me feel like there's more to make and see and do! Add more ores, give me more customization!
This game looks like it's got some more variety, but...
I really can't stand games that do this. You created a bunch of stuff from scratch, why not the main characters too? So lazy.
There's a huge scrap heap of games using sprites from other games, and it doesn't inspire confidence to see palette swaps like this.
Maybe they're placeholders?
Then again, the character in Minecraft, tealshirt, was just a placeholder too...

Eh I dunno I've seen a lot of minecraft mods that add in tons of minerals and random things and to be honest I never like any of them. There is no point to more ores and things if they are the same because that's just one more step in complicating things.
Minecraft works and is as popular as it is because of how simple it is. Oh chop some wood to mine some rock to mine some coal to mine some diamonds. It's hard to describe I suppose but it's sort of like mario in it's simplicity that is easy to understand but has more to it once you get into it.
I never asked for this!

You guys know there's only so much you can do with a sprite, right?
This'll tickle my spelunking adventure needs just fine.
Minecraft is fine for building shit, but there's not all that much sense of adventure to it. Seen one cave, seen them all.

You mean only so much you can do with a limited amount of pixels? Like, implying that whatever little character they drew, it would be bound to look like it was stolen from one game or another?
Nah. The sprites are from FF and there's no excuse. It's not hard to make up something unique.
Not that it's a total game killer or anything, but this one criticism is completely valid.
My biggest problem with Minecraft was that it felt like there was not enough drive for me to keep progressing. The monsters and boss fights Terraria promises call upon my lust for slaying mobs. I hope they develop more of their own art though, but keep the same 16-bit sprite style.
I hesitate to compare this to Minecraft. Minecraft is mostly buildy and this appears mostly actiony.
I like the look of the gameplay, but I hope they get their own arts going.
Steam
Their website keeps bouncing between a default.secureserver.net error page and an actual page.
Looks interesting, I'll definitely give it a purchase when it comes out.
The sprites aren't the exact same, but it definitely looks like they took sprites from FFV, modified the outline very slightly, and then just slapped new clothes on them. The posture of the characters is incredibly distinct.
Looked more like the dudes from that old NES sidescrolling brawler game to me. Damnit, can't remember the name...
At least a demo or something! Gimme a taste!
PSN: Dyvion -- Eternal: Dyvion+9393 -- Genshin Impact: Dyvion
Do you mean River City Ransom? Nah, they're closer to FF.
Here, I'll just do this and get it out of the way. I don't mean to harp on this but it's part of the discussion now, so...
It's not an exact match because the skeleton is scaled a bit and thus smaller/blurry, and as others have said the sprites are from FF5 and not FF1. But it's still that same archetype.
