Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

By "broken" I actually meant "retarded". It's so silly how in that game leveling up is a bad thing.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Making the game harder isn't automatically a "bad thing". Yes it's a counter intuitive concept that leveling up would make the game harder but it's not necessarily bad. They had to make enemies level up with you else the game would be much more easy than it already is, even that was not enough to balance the difficulty because of the freedom that comes with the junctioning system. Besides grinding levels to brute force a game is so lame!
Oh yeah, sure. It's fun to play alongside other people.
I agree and I don't agree. It's refreshing to see a JRPG where you don't have to grind EXP at any point and VIII's junction, GF and item/card refining systems easily make up for the small-ish amount of lvl scaling the enemies have.
That said, I normally highly dislike scaling enemies so FF VIII is pretty much the only game where I tolerate it.
Yeah it needs to be released to do that sadly.
...I don't think the graphics are improved in any way except for the resolution.
Only if you didn't pause or close steam right?
I've restarted my computer and it's been fine in the past. Maybe more people can comment.

No matter if you pause or close steam, download progress is saved (you may lose a few megabytes of data if you kill steam, but that's it).
8 more hours aprox. I let the PC dl all night.
Man, can't wait to play this again. Even if it ''gits gud after 20 hours''. I loved the scenery and the soundtracks.
Plus i always remind myself of the huge mistake i made by abandoning the game at the final boss when i had it on PS3.
EDIT: 7 hours now.

I think I might be slightly irritated that I may not be able to explore beyond 60fps.. Will have to wait and see. Either way, at least we have that

First this and then FFVIII.
I expected it for LR, given it's already there on console, but it's been a really nice surprise for XIII and if it happens for XIII-2 too it's gonna be even better.
I'm drooling at the prospect of playing LR at 60FPS though. I do hope they fix the textures as well for that.
so...i can play in 1440p? o_o

I just realized...save hacking...imagine using it to get all items and 999,999 CP right off the bat, lol.
What's the cheapest eSATA ex. hard disk at 1 TB and 2 TB size if available?
Caius could've been a cooler villain if not for his obsession with that little girl Yuel.
His theme is kickass though

I also found that junction system extremely boring and stupid. You have to spend a lot of time acquiring magic spells and then you can't use them because your stats would decrease.
I guess I just never understood FFVIII's battle system enough to enjoy it.
As long as they keep the low poly Dog model!
I seriously doubt it has more polygons than most of Quake 1 models.

Reminds me of bandersnatch from FF9.

Everytime I see that dog I can see what happened during developement:
Modeler: "Sir, that dog we made the other day dosn't look very good, let me..."
Toriyama:"Um...how many dresses we have for Lightning?"
Modeler:"23"
Toriyama:"Fuck that dog, make more dresses for Lightning, I want 100 at least"
Modeler:"but sir..."
Toriyama:"I SAID MORE DRESSES FOR MY WAIFUUUUUUUU!!"

It won't appear until it actually releases. You can't preload remotely.

there is joy in sucking dick

Holy shit the tail seems to have the same geometry complexity hahaha
FFVIII is the better game, especially if you want a big and vast JRPG full of things to see and explore.
Play FFXIII first if you have both.
Well I'm going to be super hungover tomorrow so I won't be able to play the game till saturday, monday if I go visit my parents
So you know we all got our own problems dude!
To each his own, of course
Yeah, I really never expected them to do more than the bare minimum for these, and even just dual audio is already more than the bare minimum. If 60 FPS pans out (or, ideally, arbitrary framerate!) as well I'm very content.
It says 60fps max on the store page in Steam now, sadly.
That's enough for my purposes though.
After all the good news, if this turns out to be 720p max... I may cry.

do they have button prompts for the dualshock or just 360 controller?
I doubt it, not many games support that option. Though they should.

Probably just 360

XIV does and I hope so, but wouldn't count on it.
Are there actually any? I know of a few that have generic "gamepad" prompts and separate 360 prompts, but none with Dualshock ones.
FWIW, I don't think any ever will unless there are official drivers, Sony could probably even sue them.
I never found doing the mapping in my head all that problematic.
Edit:
Oh, interesting.
Trasistor does as well...that's about it. Supergiant actually implemented native DS4 support for that one, which is interesting.

im going to miss launch. damn it S-E, why you dont enabled preload earlier.
;_;
i guess im better off playing New Vegas to avoid the spoilers.
You don't wanna preload...it'll take 110 GB of your HDD mang.
No, they better keep that shit on last gen and PC and not port it to next gen. If they port it, i'd be forced to buy it, and i want to keep this lighting garbage behind me.
Laughed out pretty loud at this, good job sir.
I'm impressed that Square Enix actually listened to feedback for duel audio and such, especially for such a cheap game, impressive indeed. I feel like XIV shocked Square Enix into some sense, and we are/will be seeing the result of that in the future.
Under recommended on the Steam page it also says:
*Maximum supported frame rate: 60fps
Edit: I'm actually excited to see what the badges, emoticons and backgrounds look like, hope they are good, I expect the backgrounds will be, but the other FF games with badges have pretty subpar emoticons.
Shovel Knight does.
If we complain enough we might be able to get them
