Huh.. I thought you could only listen in the car

You can buy a Portable MP3 Player from the Regalia shop.

 

[supergiz]

Anyone else running into a bug where your Regalia is damaged but Cindy won't fix it?

 

[BravesCountry]

Holy shit that

Spoiler

Midgar zolom lol!!!

I'm definitely coming back to that later!!!!

I thought about mentioning it when you asked about the

waterfall

but I thought nahhhh I'll let you find out on your own lol.

Spoiler

Almost wiped my party before I even got started because I walked up to it like an overconfident idiot

Pick the shop option from the navigator while you're in the car and you can buy a portable music player.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I guess I should rephrase my question so someone answers it lol.

But I'm just saying, please answer my question as simply as possible.

What is the number of the last chapter of the game? Obv mark with spoilers so others aren't spoiled

Spoiler

14 is end-game and 15 is post-game

 

[nOoblet16]

So Chapter 13...uh what the hell?

I'm only in the starting parts of it but I see what people have been taking about. Is this even the same game? Despite some shortcomings the game so far was truly excellent but this I don't even know what this is. I really really hope the stuff following later is better, it doesn't even need to be exception just the same level of quality as the previous chapters and thst would be enough to wash the sin thst this chapter is going to be.


Absolutely nothing about this chapter be it atmosphere, gameplay, art design, level design seems to belong in FFXV...nothing...zero !

Oh, didn't know this! Yes, I just picked up the FF9 and 11 soundtrack yesterday. Still searching for 6 though.

like, continuing sidequests and stuff, or is there more story? DONT SPOIL ANY PLOT pls just say "side stuff" or "there's story"

 

[jimmypython]

Wow, I know this game had a troubled development cycle. There are elements of that found in this game, but then there is also just straight up shitty directing.

Spoilers for the end of chapter 1:

Spoiler

Is that all they could think of when delivering the details of the King's death and Insomnia getting destroyed? Noct has come across the great revelation that his home city is destroyed and his father is dead, and it's all delivered through a damn newspaper? Not only that, but it all just happens with everyone completely relaxed in some boring waiting room?

That is just super lazy storytelling, not only emotionally, but logically as well. In a world where everyone has access to smartphones and the internet, they learn of this grave news from a newspaper? That makes no sense at all. To add insult to injury, they patched in a jumbled mess of scenes from Kingsglaive, and they add absolutely nothing to that scene. It feels more like an in game advertisement for the movie.

I am trying REALLY hard to like this game, but stuff like that is just...indefensible.

At least riding chocobo is very fun lol

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Oh, didn't know this! Yes, I just picked up the FF9 and 11 soundtrack yesterday. Still searching for 6 though.

I forget exactly where VI is, but it's at an outpost in the far west of the map. You get it from one of the item vendors selling stuff from their truck.

I think the only ones I need now are II, XII, and Dissidia.

Just got mine. How do you actually use it though? Looked in menu didn't see it there.

 

[pLow7]

Guys i just started a hunt ( nr. 67 und old-lestallum ) but once i get there, there are no mobs? Anything i can do?

 

[sora87]

Happened to me too. I just had to quit application and load it up again. Hopefully your autosave is good.

Yeah the autosave worked thankfully. The first place I've came across any kind of bad framerate or crashes is Lestallum.

 

[Frillen]

Saving EXP for that 10k and 2X EXP stay now. At 32k exp, will probably stay once I hit 50k. Looking forward to it

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Just finished Kingsglaive and can't wait to get back to the game. It really is required watching to really connect with what little is in the actual game from what I have heard.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

How are people getting to the end of this game so quickly? How many hours a day are you guys putting in?

 

[Shouta]

Just got mine. How do you actually use it though? Looked in menu didn't see it there.

Hold L2 to bring it up and then it has the same controls as in the car. Let go of L2 when you've selected and it'll run in the background

It's 10k for you? The hotel was 5k for me because of that Coupon I have. Speaking of that, what IS that coupon? lol

 

[theofficefan99]

How are people getting to the end of this game so quickly? How many hours a day are you guys putting in?

Yeah idk how either. I finished chapter 1 with 9 hours on the clock, with quite a few things left undone

 

[Vincent Alexander]

This game went from ok, to great, to I just want to finish so I can sell it.

 

[Dad]

Are there any monster fish out there for me to catch

 

[JetBlackPanda]

This game went from ok, to great, to I just want to finish so I can sell it.

gameplay or narrative reasons for the last part?

 

[Edzi]

People finishing it quickly are sort of insane, but so are some of you guys who are spending so long grinding. 9 hours in ch.1 sounds absurd to me.

 

[Zakalwe]

Loads of people got it early as the street date was broken in places.

II is in a market in Longewithe
XII is at the Verinas market in Revatogha
Dissidia in old lestallum

This is where I'm at too.

 

[_Legacy_]

I stumbled across

Spoiler

Daurell Caverns in Schier heights

and really regret going in. I'm not ready to fight so many of these level 40+ creatures and now I can't seem to escape the maze without killing the big bad! Might have to reload an earlier save...

 

[ULTROS!]

A few post game questions:

Spoiler

1. How do you summon Ifrit?
2. How does Carbuncle appear in the game?

Yeah idk how either. I finished chapter 1 with 9 hours on the clock, with quite a few things left undone

The latter half is... Not long.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

The localization is nothing short of fantastic.

I heard you worked on it(?) You guys have my deepest appreciation!

Gunna disagree there. The script is fine but the voice actors of anyone outside the main cast is some fuckery.

Dino sounds like a 1950s mob paparazzi and Cindy is... 💀

 

[Vilix]

Just bought the game. Now to wait three hours for the patch to download. 😕

 

[nOoblet16]

How are people getting to the end of this game so quickly? How many hours a day are you guys putting in?

I've had the game for about 50 hours now and apparently I've put in 25 hours of those into this game....lul.

And yet somehow I found time to watch movies with friends last night, meet another friend for lunch today then go to a museum and art gallery...and sleep for 12 hours and also play an hour or two of Rainbow Six Siege.

Yea I didn't go to work this week, so I was able to play. But still I donno how I've managed that.

 

[Edzi]

You sure you just don't like their accents? I thought the actual performances and script were pretty well done, but I'm only on ch. 2.

 

[Zakalwe]

You sure you just don't like their accents? I thought the actual performances and script were pretty well done, but I'm only on ch. 2.

I agree with you. English VAs have done a great job so far.

 

[Kaisos]

That's the point though??

 

[Shouta]

Yeah, performances and script are fine. I can see folks not liking the accents but I really like them. It adds a lot more flavor to the characters. Cindy is super boring in JP but I haven't heard Dino yet.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

gameplay or narrative reasons for the last part?

Narrative. Or rather the poor way the narrative ia delivered. I think there is a really good story here. Or at least an interesting one. They do a really poor job of delivering it in a focused and cohesive way that keeps me immersed. Little things they keep doing that serve only to break me from my immersion and remind me I'm playing a video game.

This is where I'm at too.

Glad I'm not only one.

 

[brawly]

I like the english VO a lot but sometimes they reaaally fail to hit the mark. Like Gladio talking sense into Noctis in chapter 4.

 

[OrionX]

Duscae sure is a breath of fresh air after spending over 20 hours in Leide. lol

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

Prompto scene is at a campsite East of Hammerhead station. It doesn't appear on the map when talking to the Restaurant owners. Should be pretty easy to spot though. There's also an Ignis scene at the campsite North of Hammerhead and there are more at specific sites throughout the game but I haven't gotten to those yet.

Thanks!

 

[Zakalwe]

That scene is just awkwardly placed and written. The VAs did the best with what they were given.

It's 10k for you? The hotel was 5k for me because of that Coupon I have. Speaking of that, what IS that coupon? lol

What coupon!?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

The driving in this game is so silly. I can set it to auto, leave, get a drink, grab a snack and come back and it's still driving.

 

[brawly]

That scene is just awkwardly placed and written. The VAs did the best with what they were given.

Yeah, the terrible animations didn't help either.

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

Anyone here also still waiting for their amazon pre order?

 

[LotusHD]

The driving in this game is so silly. I can set it to auto, leave, get a drink, grab a snack and come back and it's still driving.

I actually am fine with it as someone who likes to multitask. Basically get AP for being on my phone lol

 

[grimmiq]

What coupon!?

There's DLC that came with the game that reduces the price of all hotels and transport costs by 50%.

 

[Revolutionary]

What coupon!?

One of the Amazon Road Trip DLC has it. Knocks down the 3x XP place down to 15k as well.
Between that and the free unlimited stamina pizza, the Amazon DLC seems pretty useful.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

That's the point though??

Dino is a femme modern era journalist. Pretty much the furthest thing from that stereotype - he sounds like the guy from the beginning of Bayonetta, lol.

You sure you just don't like their accents? I thought the actual performances and script were pretty well done, but I'm only on ch. 2.

No, I think the accents are genuinely bad and the acting is weird too. Every woman speaks with that weird Final fantasy NPC voice they've had for ages - like a diet chocolina.

 

[professa_k]

Are there any monster fish out there for me to catch

i caught the devil few days ago

noctigar! lol

 

[Dad]

why does ignis insist on driving that extra 6 seconds whenever i ask him to stop

why does he defy his prince

My new favorite thing is dropping a thundara on a group of magitek soldiers and taking them all out at once.
