Man the forced walking inside dungeons is annoying as hell. What were they thinking? I get that they want to make it immersive, but you have huge areas that you'd like to explore where your only options are walking or go full sprinting when you press the run button, no middle term.

I'm only at chapter 3 though, I don't know if it changes later on, but even in optional dungeons the moment you get close to the entrance the game automatically forces you to walk.

I've outgrown the need to sleep but now I can't stop hoarding exp..... I have a problem

 

[Soulflarz]

Holy shit !! I think I've lost ALL my saves...that's 20+ hours of gameplay. Wtf man...losing a save in a game like this is terrible and I probably won't play the game for a good while because of this.

Those first two slots you see were auto save slots, below those were my manual saves....I see nothing !!

Ffxv corrupted your database, delete your save off your console, full reboot, redownload from the cloud. There you go.

So what's the recommended level before the final boss fight? I'm at 41 and I don't know if I should go do more sidequests before tackling it.

He relatively kills you in 2/3 hits and takes forever but is braindead so 1-99 is fine
:V

Just bring potions and don't let many people die lol

 

[Pinko Marx]

41 before the final boss... I'm 35 and only on chapter 3.

Level up barely matters. Mostly helps with the health and taking more damage.

I am level 60 and yet the Level 42 Red Giants can still easily wreck me.

 

[Slaythe]

Is there a list of treasures you should keep? I just assumed they were like the junk loot in FFXII and sold everything, but I heard you're supposed to keep the Ascension Coins or whatever. Oops.

You can also fuse your treasures into magic to get new powers.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Easy mode plus carbuckle fam

Actually I don't even know if that works on the final boss tbh

Actually that's just God mode

 

[Donthizz#]

got attacked by two high level monsters while driving during the night. called in the choco and fled the scene. wasn't ready for that shit.

 

[ItachiSWE]

So my PS4 Pro has been quit until Ive started playing FFXV. when playing the fan gets really loud from time to time. This only happened before in Uncharted 4. Tomb Raider was really quiet, and other games tested.

Anyone else who gets this from just FFXV and Uncharted 4, like hairdryer lvl?

(and yes my Pro is in an open space on vertical stand so no problem there)

 

[TheSpoiler]

There are skills that boost your stats even more with your levels. Very helpful.

I was the same, I hoarded 60k xp then went to the hotel near Dino for the 2x exp boost. Went from level 25 to 38. Want to get to 45 before I progress with rest of the story .

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

God damn.... that drive to Lestallum was beautiful. This game is so beautiful. I wanted to

Spoiler

turn Iris down too but she looked so interested >.>

"Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb
But I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem"

No. my pro runs normally compared to other games and even less quiet than my OG PS4 when playing the game. I even tested it lastnight and put my hands up to the fan and it was even blowing out cool air and the system wasn't warm at all.

 

[Impulsor]

Anybody know how to level up fast?

I've got 130K XP banked, waiting for the 3x hotel you know where.

I'd level up to almost 70.

I wanna go all the way to 99. read something about strange coins and magics on powerful enemies that give a good amount of XP.

Anyone know about that?

Ok thxs, figured as much, then Ill make a bakup and exchange it for a new one

 

[MilkBeard]

Seems like they made it too easy to level. Little bit of a disappointment. I'll be looking into that level cap when it hits (or a hard mode pls).

Whaa? So I'll need better gear then...

 

[Solid Sora]

So now that many have played (and finished) the game, what's the general conscious? Is it a good game? Where do you rank it among other FFs?

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Holy shit, did Prompto just make an Earthbound reference?!

Spoiler

"Say 'fuzzy pickles'!"

 

[-Ryn]

...so uh... Chapter 5 question here...

Spoiler

how common is it for that stealth section to be a hot mess? First time I got through with no detections but at the end when I was trying to summon Ramuh the game kind of gave up... went from midnight to mid day in a split second, the music did the musical equivalent of mashing all the keys on your keyboard at once, and I couldn't finish the mission. Had to replay the thing and it was only slightly more functional that time around.

As for the ending of Chapter 5,

Spoiler

that had to be THE WORST attempt at setting up an emotional moment I have ever seen. It feels like I missed a couple chapters worth of set up. The fuck happened to this game's story???

Still enjoying the game but Chapter 5 has been an awkward one...

 

[silva1991]

I hate how the pals are the best dodgers in gaming history in training mode, but they can't dodge for shit in real battles.

Game pls

" hey let's give this boss a room wide aoe", " but erm tabby the part members can't warp to link points", " well you know as with my decision to limit the tells on wildlife, this will lead to more realistic gameplay"

 

[Slaythe]

Gear is basically for people with no skill.

Can't wait for Level 1 runs with the level cap !!!

 

[Pachimari]

Really frustrating I can't find it. If I can't find the Deluxe Edition at GameStop, then I'm just gonna order the Day One edition online today and have it by next Tuesday.

Also, how do I get my Carbuncle into the game?

I just finished up that chapter too. Got to the end and Noctis is all like

"We should have been here."

Before I got to that scene I'd just went a week without sleeping and managed to accumulate 30,000 xp lmao

Who the fuck is

Spoiler

Jared

?

 

[Aztechnology]

So what's the deal with this guy's incredibly awkward performance In Kingsglaive? Whenever he speaks it sounds like he's talking through gritted teeth and jutting out his chin. Not to mention the actual performance is pretty rough.

Haha yeah that was super awkward. I had no idea either who he was until someone in this thread told me. One of the worst and most useless video game cut scenes I have ever seen honestly.

Nope you missed nothing.

They briefly showed that dude earlier, and now the bros

Spoiler

are as torn up and as angry about his death as the death of the king and the entire fall of Insomnia. Apparently Jared was a big deal.

So i can go look for them way pass field zone ?

He also makes a KH reference

in a specific dungeon that is locked via key "we need one of those special magical keys that can open any lock, like in the video games"

He is hidden in between the cargo containers, scout them out and you will find him.

Edit: on second thought, might be a different quest.

 

[Epcott]

What is with that weird green flash when you hit the O button to run in open world (instead of using L3)? Any significance?


Liking the game so far. Loving the battle system, but I agree with the shit camera. "Oh, lets put the camera behind this bush or rock and repeat that a few times." I still have yet to pull off an A or A+ in battle finesse, but I'm getting there.

Only major gripe so far is that I needed a youtube tip to find a Rusty Bit, since it didn't show up on my map (or provide a search area). Like, if you need them for something major (spoiler) why hide them like needles in a haystack of such an expansive world? I don't want to be hand held, but at least give a clue lol. But no

Spoiler

Cid just sits there and say "Go and find one."

I don't think this is the same quest.

I think he's by the rock just besides the quest icon. Kinda hidden a bit.

is this happen a lot? or very low chance to happen?

i'm not using PSN+, so no cloud for me

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Yup
They completely struck out on it

You'd think they learned something from FFXIV 1.0

Total opposite IMO. This is the most compelling, innovative open world gameplay I've seen since GTA3 basically set the formula in 2001. I can't get enough of it.

I completely agree with this. If it wasn't for him I'd have thoroughly enjoyed the film.

His character just never fit the voice.

Endgame spoiler

Spoiler

I hated how they handled Noctis' comeback ten years later, with the "what took you so long" banter. THE WORLD HAS BEEN ENGULFED BY DARKNESS WITH THE KING BELIEVED TO BE DEAD FOR TEN YEARS. I mean, really!? Could have been a superbly emotional moment.

 

[StereoVsn]

Yeah, I don't quite know what about it is so compelling but I can't stop playing. Unusually dislike MMO type progressions but somehow they work here. I think perhaps combat is very good so that's why everything else doesn't quite bother me as much.

 

[Disagree Guy]

Can't you tell by the photo of the guy? It's been mo-capped on him or whatever but yeah that's the guy.

I thought the graphics on Crow (the girl glaive) were absolutely insane
