10Gb on PS4 I read.

So 17GB total on day one.

Sigh.

 

[Deckard Chapel]

So 17GB total on day one.

Sigh.

Wait, what?

 

[Bethell]

So 17GB total on day one.

Sigh.

How large is the patch if you've bought a physical copy?

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

So 17GB total on day one.

Sigh.

No just 10. It's combined.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

Can't decide. During my hype countdown to midnight, should I watch Kingsglaive first, or Brotherhood? I've seen them both, I just mean for this run.

On one hand, Kingsglaive will be the more exciting lead-in. But, it's also almost entirely devoid of the bros and their part of the story.

What's the best order leading up to the game?

Well with the crown patch they are inserting Kingsglaive scenes into the game so I would just stick with Brotherhood if you are going to watch media before you play the game.

 

[N° 2048]

1.02 Patch is 9.3 GB.

Not 10GB as I said earlier.

That 700MB is a lot of difference for some people, sorry for the misinformation.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

I can confirm that the

blood sword

from duscae is in.

What's in it?

 

[Neen]

Is Odin in the game? Please say yes...

 

[wmlk]

I can confirm that the

Same ability? How do you use it?

What about the Drain Lance?

 

[Brandon F]

I never finished Duscae, is there an unlockable bonus for doing so?

 

[Mifec]

Is Odin in the game? Please say yes...

Spoiler

From what we know, no.

 

[N° 2048]

What's in it?

I have NOT read these notes:

AGAIN, THIS CHANGELOG MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/5famno/ffxv_patch_102_is_out_and_its_93gb/

Don't come at me, I warned you.

 

[BOOTY ME$$IAH]

I was 10 when this game first got announced, watching E3 with my dad and flipping shit with him because he's played through every Final Fantasy game up until then thinking this was the greatest thing we've ever seen.

10 years later and it's finally coming out, I got the next 3 days off to play with my pops and I haven't seen him this hype in awhile. I think the last game he's played was Arkham Asylum so it's been some time for him.

HYPE

 

[DJChuy]

How large is the patch if you've bought a physical copy?

Mine was about 8GB.

 

[ChanMan]

Ah Verendus. Hoist by his own petard. And take out those factual inaccuracies and the rest reads quite believably based on a lot of the real reactions folks are having.

So wait all of it was false? Wow.

 

[benzy]

Was anyone able to see Falk do his presentation?

 

[YankeeDonB]

XV GAF HYPE CREW ASSEMBLE!!!

Ha ha, the years have scattered us thither and yon, but now's our time in the sun. Well, not quite yet for me...

So wait all of it was false? Wow.

Not sure anyone really knows. But he clearly made part of it up. Many think he has had some privileged information over the years, but there's a lot of BS too...

 

[Napalm_Frank]

So the preload right now is doing a ~7 gig file. Any idea if it downloads the rest while playing or do I have to get the whole 50 gig before I can launch?

Also any idea if the latest patch is included in it?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Where's my boy at!!?? Shida! Wya we made it bud

 

[Aurizen]

Amazon needs to give me my tracking number.

 

[Chase17]

So if I played platinum demo I will get CARBUNCLE if I still have the save right?

Going to watch brotherhood and Kingsglieve tonight. Might as well try to pick up on some of the backstory.

 

[wmlk]

Was anyone able to see Falk do his presentation?

He's done. There wasn't any stream so we're going to have to wait for live camera stuff.

 

[Raticus79]

Still a bit of time to get the preorder stuff on PSN:

[Tubie]

Amazon is now saying I won't get the game till at least Friday.

I'm seriously considering just cancelling that and buying digital.

 

[Kyonashi]

Haven't seen this in the thread yet but the fold-out booklet in the case is SO sweet.

They understand what a massive deal this finally releasing is.

 

[MrDenny]

Any use store pick up from Best Buy? Says it can be picked up today but my email says I can pick it up tomorrow.

 

[Jb]

Mine was also delayed, but only until Wednesday... They gave me one month of prime so maybe they'll give you three?

 

[Frillen]

Can I only fast travel to the outpost I camped in last? How do I fast travel to the outpost?

 

[HMD]

If you have a shit-ton of EXP and Gil make sure to

Spoiler

stay at the hotel in Altissia, it has a 3x EXP bonus.

 

[desu]

Can I only fast travel to the outpost I camped in last? How do I fast travel to the outpost?

You have to park there with the car, then you can travel to outposts / car parks.

 

[benzy]

Will await for Koozek to find the footage and gif it.

 

[zkorejo]

Can I only fast travel to the outpost I camped in last? How do I fast travel to the outpost?

Use Regalia - Auto - map - selecr the outpost. It should ask you if you want to fast travel for 10 gil.

Is Tetsuya Nomura's autograph in there somewhere?

 

[pablito]

Uh oh

Amazon is showing Tuesday, but I bring up the tracking number in UPS and they say Wednesday. I took a day off. Gonna be bummed if it doesn't work out.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

How can I manually drive the car ?

Also, I feel like I'm not exploiting all of the combat system...is there a good video/tutorial out there ?


Thanks !

 

[desu]

Found this, did most quests of the game and came out with 360k exp (=20 levels at that time).

 

[F0rneus]

Any missable items to look out for? I'm OCD over that in RPGs.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

I lost it.

Kanye Quest

 

[Somnia]

Should I stick to light mode on my Pro and 4k TV due to the frame pacing?

 

[NovaCross]

Are people able to redeem their day one DLC code for the Masamune? Seems like the Playstation acknowledges the code but I get an error when confirming it.

 

[Jiraiza]

Oh shoot, my FireCuda 2TB drive got delivered with my Ultimate. Nooo!

 

[matrixman92]

Any use store pick up from Best Buy? Says it can be picked up today but my email says I can pick it up tomorrow.

I think ive seen this happen for other games, people say if you go to the store they will just say its not available till tomorrow

 

[N° 2048]

Ok holy fuck I need to stop refreshing this thread. Is it tomorrow yet?

 

[Falk]

Was anyone able to see Falk do his presentation?

Yeah, there was no livestream. There was some miscommunication over a 'live feed' which someone in the chain took to mean streaming to the internet but it was more camera feeds from inside the theatre being fed to the hall outside the cinema.

Bits and pieces of the launch are popping up on twitter/fb but I don't think there's been any start-to-end capture that I'm aware of.

We did show stuff like this: https://www.facebook.com/PCMagSEA/posts/984709824967115

A brief rundown of what I talked about:

Spoiler

Footage of the recording of Main Theme of FF, XV version
My personal involvement/my company's involvement in the music of FFXV
Brief introduction of SoundtRec and Video Game Orchestra
Our working relationship with Square Enix
Talking about the music of Final Fantasy and its importance to the franchise' identity
Talking about the music of FFXV, shoutouts out the wazoo to all the people involved
Some examples of dynamic switching systems for music
Talking about how series staples were honored vs the new systems e.g. how the SNES bassline for battle themes evolved into the 'alert' state before entering combat
Talking about the car radio

Spoiler

I nearly cried while talking about the music of the franchise as a whole, lol

 

[MilkBeard]

Any word on the general impression in Japan, at least from people who went to midnight launches?

 

[Socivol]

Play it and see.

I'm only in Chapter 6 and I've already got 38 hours it's going to be forever before I get there.

 

[Kawngi]

Hmm, trying to enter my Masamune DLC code on PSN and it's telling me its invalid or used. Tried 5+ times now and double checked it.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Same ability? How do you use it?

What about the Drain Lance?

It's the same sword but it drains with HP with each attack

Ignis has that equipped it drains elemental power from enemies, you can upgrade that weapon as well I got it lvl3

 

[Socivol]

Any missable items to look out for? I'm OCD over that in RPGs.

There is a missable cutscene in Chapter 4 when you're traveling to the Disc.
