Nobuo Uematsu is only thing that's missing for me, I mean other little things I miss in FF but the game is solid, however Yoko is no Uematsu for me

Has the Pilgrimage Sidequest glitched for anyone else? We drove there, got attacked by Magitek Soldiers & Mech at the gate and now I'm just kinda "stuck" in battle mode with no more enemies & it says the quest is complete.

Not for me, but there was another guy here in GAF who had the same issue as you.

Do you guys have any suggestion for not being overleveled during the main quest? Except for the obvious "don't do the sidequests" :p I'm at the beginning of the game and want to enjoy it as much as possible without missing anything.

Levels don't have that much of an impact unless you're really high. Most enemies can still be a challenge.

What I did was do a few sidequests between each chapter and I never felt like I was steamrolling everything.

There aren't any missables so you don't have to worry about feeling the need to start over or do another playthrough because you skipped something.

I can't find a reliable way of permanently locking in to a target without letting go of the lock on button. Is there a way to hard lock?
Click to expand...

I'm not a fan of the lock on system either, but hard lock is R1 + R3.

Damn Laser Sensor in crafting gives a potency boost and an extra cast. Have a Unicast III at 314 x10.

Yeah the music is nice and all, but the music player really drives home how incredibly good the old Uematsu tracks are. Wish the portable player worked in battles.

Having just completed Chapter 1, I'm glad I stopped in the middle to watch Kingsglaive.

After seeing how integral the backstory Kingsglaive provides is, I'm surprised it just wasn't include in the box. The impact of those story beats were much more impactful having watched the movie, compared to the clips the game shows you.

Yea these songs are very surface, least what I've heard so far.. Uematsu just had such an emotional style, love his work... FF just isn't quite FF without him

Finally started playing this. I think I might keep HDR turned off.

I can't seem to get it to look right. All of the whites just look completely blown when it's turned on out no matter which pre-defined setting I try on my TV (LG B6).

Is your PS4 Resolution set to 2160 YUV420 or 2160 RGB?

HDR is one of my favorite parts of this game. Just turn down brightness and contrast a bit. Took some time to get it right but it adds so much to exploration. (And I have much crappier TV)

For CID upgrade items like rusty bit and metal scrap
Do i only need to keep 1 for him?
I noticed further upgrades ask for different junk

Guys idk what to do. When I play the game, I want to explore, and take my sweet ass time... but at the same time it's killing me that I have to avoid every corner of the internet.

So I broke my rule of fast traveling because Gondola travle is just too slow... It's so exessively inconvenient, I wouldn't use it IRL, instead just walking around on my own two feet... but alas, the hunting place is not accessible on my own two feet...

Trust me, you won't be over leveled. Some of the difficulty spikes come out of fucking no where and are brutal.

Just finished the game. My favorite game of all time. Cannot believe how well they delivered considering the development hell this went through. I loved everything about it and I'm not eloquent enough to explain it. But I played 12 hours today and it's 2 in the morning. Just finished and I still want to play.

Yeah the only other FF experience I remember having is exclusively running up and down a pier in what I think was FFX on my brothers PS2 when I was young. So the first one I've really played lol, but I just got to the
boss fight
in chapter 6 and yep, I love this game and will cherish it forever, especially since I hear it only gets better from here.

Would do damn near anything for more of this game world and i can see myself replaying it for years to come. Probably going to buy that Lucii necklace too because that is how much this game means to me.

Also:prompto is best bro and i relate to him and Noct most

This is all super great to hear!

Thank you man. I don't know which role you had in the game, but whatever it was, just THANKS. You can REALLY tell how much passion and effort went into this game. You guys did a great job. :)

SolidChamp said:
So how would this game play for someone who hasn't touched the series since the 16-bit era and is really out of the loop on modern JRPGs in general?

Right now I'm finally making the push to finish Persona 4 for the first time and loving it so much I'm on board for P5, but FFXV has me curious.

Modern Final Fantasy games always looked so complex/convoluted to me.

Is a "non-fan" going to enjoy this?
Click to expand...

It was made for both people just like you and for the hardcore FF fans. Please give it a try!

Thanks for this.

I changed my settings to "Automatic" for the PS4 Pro resolution from YUV420 where I had it.

Now whites aren't super blown out on HDR mode in FF XV anymore.. (I also have a B6). Before making this change, no adjustment I could make to the picture could make the cactuar on the white square visible.

I have it all set to auto. Should I force YUV420?

Hmm... Maybe I'll try to make some adjustments and see if I can't get it to work, then.

edit:

OK, after turning the in-game brightness all the way down, it looks fantastic now!

In an era where side missions have come so far, here comes FFXV with these... well regular side missions and I can't help but be disappointed.

I don't mind them at all. This game is much more about exploration than it is about storytelling. It's in a way refreshing. And I'm saying this as someone who's been replaying Mass Effect trilogy which is much more story driven.

Alright I legit dropped a tear. I loved it. The wait was totally worth it for me. I can't believe after everything this team was able to do this and make a great game I'm very proud like I helped made it. That ending was brilliant I'm still shook

The bit with (pre-final boss spoilers)
Iedolas, Regis, Luna, and Nyx's bodies hanging from the ceiling chilled me like few other things have in a game.
Absolutely did not expect anything like that.

I personally love the Summon system. I think it makes the Summon seem like the deities they are instead of being pets that the protagonist can call on a whim. They decide when to help you.

I know many people will disagree, but this is something I wish they keep for future games.

I haven't been able to Summon
Titan yet. Ramuh 3 times. Shiva 3 times (No need to be on the final boss), Leviathan 1 time.
Click to expand...

I wouldn't have minded that as much if they'd given us two tiers of summons - the larger, plot-important Astrals that act of their own volition, and smaller "familiars" that can be summoned on demand and act as an additional party member, possibly reusing existing enemies' assets as a base to build on. It'd be a good compromise between having them as huge spectacles and a regular predictable part of the combat system.

Is there any way to play different music when riding the chocobo? I mean, a lot of time is spent on foot and in car where you listen to what you want. But, if the chocobo theme can't be switched to something else, that seems like a big oversight. Hopefully I'm just missing something.

Ardyn is easily one of the best villains in the franchise.

So refreshing after boring-ass Caius, Bartendalus and Vayne.

Anyways. Thanks.

Can someone tell me what you have to do to get the key for the subdungeons? I've already beaten the game and the old lady won't cough up the key. Are there other triggers necessary?
