What's the easiest way to level up in the demo? I made it to like 45 or 50. I'd like to try fighting new big enemy, but leveling up to 99 doesn't sound very fun. I wonder if there would be that big of a difference between lvl50 and 99 while fighting it anyway.

I could barely beat the Behemoth at lvl 52 so I'm sure it is a pretty big difference.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Wonder if DF will do another analysis.

They don't have anything major to cover until E3 and Batman Arkham Knight. They can cover this one, I am sure.

Curious to see what difference it makes on the Xbox One.

Camp for the best buffs, kill deadeye and whatever else you want, then camp at the mobile home to increase exp and repeat.

 

[Ralemont]

This is looking like a lot of fun. I can't speak to the story, but the allure of Final Fantasy has always been combat and progression systems to me.

 

[YankeeDonB]

damn it, just finished Witcher 3 last night, and all ready to dig into Duscae 2.0. But I'm at work :-(

 

[Socivol]

The update isn't live yet anyways.

Yeah that's what I figured. Wasn't sure if there was some really easy shortcut way to get some fast levels, lol.

 

[Vashetti]

4pm Sony, where is it?!

Edit: downloading woo!

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Its up
3.4 GB
Probably gonna make a new save data to play this. See just how different it is.

 

[Metal Khaos]

Its up
3.4 GB

Awesome. Should be downloading then at home so I can tear into this update when I get home. Looking forward to it and hoping they really did make some positive improvements.

 

[Nibel]

Anybody streaming?

 

[YianGaruga]

Both patches are up.
Type-0 patch is so small I had no chance to check how big it is
Duscae patch is only 2.2GB for me, it shows as 3.4GB but started with ~1GB finished already. PS4 patches show up like that sometimes.

EDIT: SE can get patches out at the same time worldwide, that's quite impressive if you look at the way some other devs handle it. I wish this was standard practice.

I wish you could easily do that but the autosaving means it overrides your save. But Ill just play it on a different account.

 

[Caffeine]

no update on xbox ?

 

[benzy]

Should be easy for us to tell if there are framerate improvements anyway.

 

[Death Penalty]

Actually there's a spot near the pier where you release the frogs where sabretusks spawn continuously. During the course of fighting a pack you will almost always attract a platoon of Magitek troops. Pop Armiger and spam Dragoon Jump to make quick work of them. You'll have a bit of time after killing them all to regen your MP and the sabretusks will respawn on top of you shortly after. Rinse, repeat. Deadeye takes a prohibitively long time to kill, and I believe this method is far more efficient.

Had no idea Type-0's patch came out today. I'll check that out as well.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I guess I'll spend some time on this today... I have a feeling I'll regret it.

Type-0 is 13 MB

 

[Vashetti]

Any Type-0 impressions?

 

[Xion4360]

Any Type-0 impressions?

from other thread.

tried it and motion blur is reduced to a good amount, its still a lot but it doesnt completely blur the entire scene when you move the camera... and the camera rotation speed has been reduced a ton, and you can vary the speed by how much you tilt the stick (thank you!!) should be much less nauseating now.

 

[Snorlocs]

no update on xbox ?

checked earlier, didn't see it. Will check again

 

[Vashetti]

from other thread.

Sounds awesome, thanks

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

God damn, my download slowed to a screeching halt.

 

[YianGaruga]

Any Type-0 impressions?

Only played very little before the patch, but I hated the camera and the blur was extreme. From running around in Academia a bit, the camera now controls like you'd expect a camera to control and the blur is hardly noticeable and seems normal. I have no complaints anymore. I kind of want to really start playing it now.

 

[Spinluck]

Didn't know that this was essentially a BETA

 

[stargateheaven]

ugh.. guys stop downloading!
let me go faster

 

[BossDarkseid]

If you're being serious, you must be new to demoes not being wholly representative of final products

 

[jschreier]

Gonna stream the new demo on Kotaku in 30 or so.

 

[Socivol]

Noctis' voice has changed

 

[raven777]

Noctis' voice has changed

no more batman?

 

[Socivol]

I'm playing now. The framerate is BETTER but it's still choppy

 

[YianGaruga]

PSN pls. 90 minutes for 1.5GB..

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Noctis' voice has changed

The feedback is real.

*Kagari cries*

 

[Socivol]

no more batman?

Nope he sounds fine though. It's noticeable enough that as soon as he started talking I had to look at the caption to see who it was. Sounds much differently than he did in 1.0

 

[Arkeband]

no more batman?

Man, that sucks. I hope he doesn't sound like a brooding Sasuke. I enjoyed his voice being so deep.

 

[Spinluck]

Not all demos make a big deal over updates like this though. Not knocking it, but I guess it should've been obvious since it was released nowhere near the launch window of the game.

 

[Kagari]

The feedback is real.

*Kagari cries*

Superior JP cast is superior.

 

[Socivol]

The techniques require less MP but when loading my save my overall MP has decreased by about 14 which is weird (lvl 54 162 MP on 1.0 only 148 on 2.0)

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Are people starting new games or booting up old saves?

 

[benzy]

Man, that sucks. I hope he doesn't sound like a brooding Sasuke. I enjoyed his voice being so deep.

Every time he talked I mixed him up with Gladiolus.

 

[LiK]

Did they really change Noctis' voice? Good change.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Superior JP cast is superior.

No dual audio at launch and Tabata and co are gonna feel a whirlwind of pain.

Need Ignis change too darn it. Will save that for feedback form 2.0

 

[Geg]

Every time he talked I mixed him up with Gladiolus.

Same. Good to hear it's changed now.

I guess I'll pull myself away from Splatoon later today and try it out

 

[sensui-tomo]

dlc the week after, and a day waiting for Grace chen time.

 

[raven777]

OK sabertusks are much easier to kill now

 

[Falk]

RIP that grunt after "The Prince of Pain"

 

[TheDanimal]

Is the only way to get this demo still through buying Type-0? I can't justify spending $50 on Type-0, but I really want to play this demo -_-
That being said, I'm still super excited for this game ^.^

 

[Socivol]

The more I play the more I realize the framerate still sucks. Sorry guys...it's pretty decent running around but as soon as enemies get on the screen

 

[Mendrox]

Very nice! I can finally play this game
