How do you level up so high? Any good grinding spot??

Initially early on the Nether Nebula dungeon behind where you break the big rock. Good spot for quite a bit where the enemies aren't tough but give good XP.

Later on in the Crystal Tower was a good spot too. I think the 2 portals at the end that take you to the 2 alternate Towers were good spots.

At that point I was just under 70.

Then post game the new icicle ridge area that opens up to level me to 80 (which did take a while).

 

[retardedrockstar]

So I am roughly 10 hours into the game.. loving it so far!

But I have this question bugging me...
Why is there a Save option in the menu if it is always greyed out?? Where can it be used?

Only at save crystals.

 

[retardedrockstar]

Only at save crystals.

So something left over from earlier in development? Maybe saving was planned to be allowed everywhere?
Oversight?

 

[Katana_Strikes]

That's how it is in most FFs/RPGs though ain't it. It's just an option that's only available to use during certain instances like save crystals and generally the world map.

It's like that in Final Fantasy games, you can only save at a crystal/moogle/checkpoint or on the world map in some entries.

So i have a really strange experience buying this game.

I preordered it on vita way back for a cheap price on amazon.co.uk. When it released the vita version I pivked turned into amazon prime exclusive. Now its out of stock for ages. I have a feeling that they are refusing to sell me this for the cheap price lol

 

[Cornbread78]

I think this game is giving me OCD in regards to catching these stupid mirages.

Cactaur comes and then runs away when I try to Libra it. I libra a moogle, then the little prick runs away every time I try to imprism it. I'm getting angry, lol.

Come to papa ya lil' bastards. Don't you want to go to your home?!

A few mirages has that "no escape" ability or whatever it is called. It stops mirages from running away. Very useful for those mogs and cactuars

They did something like that with a price mistake to me, If i don't remember wrong with zelda OOT for 3ds, but after a few months, they send me the copy, just keep asking in the support chat.

 

[SilverArrow20XX]

I've been wondering for a while how the hell Shelke made it into this, yet somehow Aerith didn't make the cut... lol

Hiroki Chiba, the writer of this game, wrote Dirge of Cerberus as well.

Crystal Chronicles characters are in too because Yasuhisa Izumisawa, the artist for the Crystal Chronicles series, is the artist for this game as well.

That's how it is in most FFs/RPGs though ain't it. It's just an option that's only available to use during certain instances like save crystals and generally the world map.

Yeah. This game doesn't have a save anywhere world map though, so it's kinda silly to have the option in the menu at all.

I'll have to play through some more and hopefully, get the skill soon. I want those two dammit!

Damn that's one bad track record.

Right Claw has it. You can find them in Pyreglow Forest if you don't already have one.

Damn that's one bad track record.

He was also the scenario writer with Nojima on VIII, and the lead scenario writer on Type-0 lol.

 

[ULTROS!]

Hiroki Chiba also wrote:

Final Fantasy Type-0
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

So in short: the stories he wrote try hard to be edgy but make no sense.

WoFF is probably the most "understandable" I guess.

That's where I am now! I've only seen the claw once, so now I'm just waiting for one to spawn again.

How do I catch this damn unicorn? It says inflict status ailments to it. Right now it is poisoned, slowed, berserked, oblivioned, confused and sleeping. Still no imprism opportunity.

Oh ok, makes a lot more sense then. Still, you'd think they'd go with Vincent or something. He would've fit perfectly into that

storyline.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Think I'm done. Got pretty much all I wanted to with it. Levelled up to 96 with the EX dungeons and beat XG. Got a fair few of the rare mirages. The collection was about 83% and starred a few.

Thought the mega mirages were mostly junk. Never used them in proper battles except to try em out.

Pretty much rolled with the chibi guys with Shiva/Bablizz and Ifrit/Quachacho for like 80% of the game.

Good game. Nice 50+ hours worth.

 

[SilverArrow20XX]

Played for a few minutes today on my new 60" KS8000. The messed up patch is much more apparent now. The backgrounds are muddy and there are lots of jaggies around the hair. Other games I checked out look great.

 

[Perfo]

I have question guys, after finishing the main story for real, is it possible going back to it to complete the extras left?

 

[chiliboy]

I read that the game looks terrible on PS4 Pro @ 1080p - has this been acknowledged by Sony or is it patched?

Did you play on a PS4 Pro?

 

[ffvorax]

Game can be completed in 35-40 hours (

Spoiler

30 for ending 1, +5 for getting ending 2

). 70 hours if you want to platinum.

Ok, I don't know if I will platinum this, but I don't want to rush it anyway... so I will wait for FFXV first, and then will play this after...
Thx!

I don't know if it looks terrible but definitely worse. Though if you don't see any comparison you would not even notice the difference. I would like a patch to solve these little problems but mostly add that supersampling effect that I think will go really well with the artstyle of the game...

I dunno, it's pretty bad. Everything but the foreground is a blurry jaggy mess in (most of) the cutscenes.

It looks really bad compared to non pro version on the screens I've seen
holding off on purchase until they fix it..

Did you play on a PS4 Pro?

Yes. The game looked very clean on my OG PS4. I didn't notice any jaggies at all and the backgrounds were all crisp and clear. I noticed the problems immediately when I switched to Pro. I was on a smaller 720p TV though, so the jaggies were only a minor issue and the muddiness wasn't as in my face. When I switched to my 4K TV it became very apparent.

 

[OniBarubary]

Got like 3 more trophies but I don't think I have the willpower to continue trying to get them after my backlog has built up again.

The oncoming Steam Sale shall destroy my time.

So I'm stuck in the postscript and I don't know what to do.

Spoiler

I just beat Omega God, and was left in the bridge section after I beat him. Afterwards, I traveled back to Nine Wood Hills and the objective star on the map was still where the Intervention Quests are, but as of now I have completed all of them, as they have a star icon next to them.

What do I have to do now to make the story progress? Do I have to do all of the Intervention Quests again to get them to show up as checkmarks and then the story can finish?

If they have a star icon next to them, doesn't that mean you have to turn in the quest to recieve the reward?

Talk to Seraphie. It'll activate a cutscene and give you the way forward. I got stuck here for like an hour too. Simple but easy to miss.

Uh doesn't the star on an intervention mean you just have a reward to collect?

It's do all interventions, catch all unique summons, talk to Seraphie, explore the hidden ice area.

 

[Perfo]

I finally finished the main story, lol

Spoiler

the last boss with the "unstack and launch everything at him" was So easy!

. Overall I didn't enjoy much of it, there's some charm in the chibi characters but I wished everything else would've been handled differently or better. I also can't stand anymore random battles and partially ATB/turnbased stuff, but this is more about me than not the game. Story is total crap, for being a FF fanservice story didn't even feel much like that but more like a KH reject. Bah

That said I'm left with the 3 extra dungeons to complete and few more stuff. Did you know you get to unlock them without finishing all the tea-room quests ? I thought those were mandatory!

 

[SilverArrow20XX]

Yeah. I think only the "Five Cogna Lords" quests are mandatory. You just need to finish the main story.

 

[Oldsql]

Does someone have Maduin and would be so kind and trade it with me? I simply can't finish the mini game in these few turns and don't get the prismarium. I can trade it further or give it back for the unlucky ones in the mini game.

I got a cutscene from Seraphie before, but now there's nothing.

Okay I hadn't turned all of these in, but now I have and they're all checked off, but there's still no story progression, Seraphie won't tell me anything new, the objective star is still in the tea room,I have 13 Arma Gems still left, and the blurb at the top still says

Spoiler

REYNN: Gathering powerful mirages and getting stronger! That's our only hope!

So I need to collect all the mirages to trigger the true ending, I'm assuming?

After you get the Seraphie cutscene the next objective is in Sherlotta's Solace. It's mentioned in the cutscene, but no mission markers ever actually appear on the world map select or anything. Maybe you just need to go talk to Sherlotta.

Unless it's tied to a percentage of mirages imprismed, that's all I can think of. I was 80 something percent done when I got there.

So, my game is glitched out at Ex 1 area 3. The cannons will not function properly so I guess i'm screwed?

Finished in 45 hours. The game starts off slow but becomes sooo addicting toward the end. Great storyline too with a nice twist at the end. The Intervention quests were a genius idea as it really lets the FF chibi characters shine. I really hope we get a sequel out of this and learn more about

Spoiler

Enna Kron / Roksanne, Alexander, and the old Diablolos world. Not to mention the fate of the twins and Brandelis

Do you have a mirage with sizzle on you? You need sizzle to fire the cannons. Lots of small fire mirages have it like baby Ifrit and Black Nakk.
