Support NeoGAF

[cybercircuit1]

Of course Amazon JP chooses NOW to go "your credit card company didn't authorize the purchase please call them". Then after "haha just kidding no problems but we're out of stock now"

I guess I can hold off on buying the ps4 until Bloodborne unless this actually ships by a decent date.

 

[Gaz_RB]

I have 2hrs left and can't find anyone to talk too. Is there another way to waste hrs?

You can go right to the mission guy and start the mission.

PSP limitations.

That couldn't be addressed in a HD port? Really sloppy that they couldn't take advantage of the hardware to fix obvious annoyances like that and the camera

...>_>
;_;

And I just found the last person I need to talk too.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I'm stuck at the start of Chapter 2, it says 2h till next mission. What do I do? :/ can't find any guides on line, I guess cus it's so new.

you can also use hours to study in class which improves everyone's stats or going out into the world map.

Yeah I'v done that. I forgot about the guy that hides behind that bookcase.

Is there a way to change the active party member? The person you run around as?

Go to Assignment at the save points.

PSP limitations.

You're kidding, right? How strenuous can having two flags up at once be?

 

[Jubern]

Is there anyone picking up this in Japan today? I'm trying to find whether it has English text or not (not just voices).


I know some report from last September said it would, but it was from SCEA and Square-Enix doesn't have a very good track-record for English support for its remasters.
I could just go digital but I already went that way for the PSP version and want to go with physical this time around.

 

[rybrad]

The camera is literally making me nauseous so I can't play more than an hour or two at a time which is a real bummer. I hope they add some options in for tweaking it or this is going to be a real slog.

The music has been awesome though!

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

I swear to god that electric guitar song that plays in the background is straight out of SH3

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

It seems like there is going to be a lot of micro managing with all the 12 characters. With weapons, accessories, abilities. Im concerned Ill be spending half the game managing ability points every 10 menutes.


Is this a valid concern? Or is it best to just focus on keeping your primary three characters up to date and fuck everyone else?

 

[Xamdou]

Loving the game thus far but the camera is just terrible, getting motion sickness navigating the bloody camera.

 

[FunkyLounge]

You're already wasting hours playing this game.




I jest, could not resist the bad joke. Can't wait to get the game myslef

 

[Puflwiz]

Kinda ignorant to FF to be honest.. I've tried to play FF6, 7, 9 and 10 for the first time a year back. I put maybe about 15-20 hours in each and it none of them hooked me. I'm told that Type-0 is the best one in a long long time, but from what little I've seen it looks pretty different too. Can someone like, how do you say, explain this game to me? Like, what's different?

Spoiler

For reference, I do like JRPGs. Mostly Shin Megami Tensei games and the Mother series but still.

 

[Jonnax]

How difficult is officer? I don't want a game too easy but at the same time I don't want to get 90% through and stop because I can't get past a point.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Am I the only one who thinks it was a missed opportunity that they didn't have Seven voiced by Ali Hillis?

So you're asking if it was a missed opportunity to use D-list voice actors instead of A-list voice actors?

 

[Cloudy]

How do I study?

 

[Nose Master]

How do I study?

Moogle in the main classroom. Moglin?

 

[kiryogi]

Far from it. She might have missed it as lightning but her performance as Palutena was A+++

To be honest, I get the impression Squares Voice Acting Director sucks.

[Fleet_of_Foot]

That's my point. Of course it was a missed opportunity not to get her, or anyone of her caliber. Ali Hillis would very obviously be way better than whoever the amatuers are they got for this game. It would be even more distracting.

It's not just that the voice acting is awful, it's that the mixing is weird so the voices don't blend into the rest of the game's sound at all. It's unbelievably bad. This is supposed to be freaking FINAL FANTASY!

 

[Jonnax]

Decided to start in officer

Any tips for managing the camera?

 

[Cloudy]

I've played 4 hours and I haven't even started the first mission yet. Just talked to everyone and read all the main character bios in the library. How do I add party members? I want to do the cemetery ? with Rem and Machina

PS: How do those names fit in with numbers/cards?

Remote play with vita lol

When he has lectures available there will be a "!" above his head. You're going to have to advance some missions before this stuff becomes available.

*raises hand*

Totally not expecting this to have English text, but I'll let you know once I play it.

 

[Jubern]

Thanks. I've been looking for that info frantically all morning lol

Need to know whether or not I pick it up when I come home from work tonight.

 

[Korosenai]

Where do I get greens for breeding chocobos?

Yeah I'm picking it up today after work. Considering that a LOT of PS4 games in japan have had English text, it wouldn't be entirely surprising, but I'm not banking on it.

 

[DarkConfidant]

Does anyone know why one would choose not to add everyone to reserves during a mission? I'm still early in the game, but so far it seems strictly better to add everyone.

Not every mission will let you use everyone and I think that you can get better rewards for going in with less people (don't quote me on this, I'm not sure).

And there's trophies related to that as well.

Do you know if there's advantages/disadvantages to using SP Support?

SP Support gets you SP Points for the SP shop

Is it generally worth earning SP vs having my class 0 members fight?

 

[Zaventem]

I just found out i did all that grinding for nothing.

 

[threelights]

You will lose playable characters in the middle of battle as you can't play as the support characters.

Other than that, not really. Support is meant mostly as help for when you're doing high level missions and you're too weak (the Support characters will always be at the recommended level for that mission, so they will be able to fight better than you).

 

[Zolbrod]

SP Support gets you SP Points for the SP shop

that doesn't sound very intuitive

 

[Geg]

I'm about to go and do the first mission of chapter 2, but man the fact that it just throws all 14 characters at you at once is kind of overwhelming. It's hard to know who to test out and who to just keep using

Test out everybody?

 

[threelights]

It's a currency in the game. If a guy joins you start gaining SP. When he leaves, the amount of SP accumulated is given to you, and then you can use a specific shop at the academy to buy stuff with SP.

Gonna second this question. Best to focus on 3 or spread the love to everyone? Or maybe it's somewhere in between?

Once you unlock the arena I suggest go there and test out everyone and see which characters you like playing as best. Also a quick way to bang out some levels for under leveled characters.

 

[Nose Master]

Game is growing on me a bit. The battle system, anyways. Running around doing random quests is fun. The rest of it is still buttholes, though.

Training area in the academy is good for this.

 

[SixStringPsycho]

This might have prob been asked before. But is the game supossed to not fill the whole TV screen? I know its a PSP HD remaster. But it is weird.

 

[CoffeeKillquest]

Can anyone tell me how to use gifts and who I should give them to?
