ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
It's not exclusive to Gamespot if you purchased the Asian Deluxe Edition. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Don't forget Ardyn - one of the best voices in the game.
Cheap way to win
Go to altissia and eat the 8000 cost food that gives you 4000 hp and makes you immune to elemental damage. You won't even take damage in the final segments
There's only three possibilities.
1. A super strong enemy hit you
2. You were using a royal arm. The more enemies you hit, the more your HP is drained and some royal arms eat more HP than the others.
3. A combination of 1 and 2.
And in Final Fantasy in general. Dude's fucking awesome.

Well...
Didn't even know I was getting a copy when I pre-ordered from GAME but they sent me a download code. Tell you what, it may not amazing but it was actually fun enough to keep me entertained while waiting for the mail to arrive on release day. People won't be missing much though.
I really dislike the camera in this game during closed-quarters combat. It's garbage. The caves and dungeons are a shit show.
That said, I just finished Chapter
and I think the game is pretty damn fun. I look forward to what they can do when they have the same team working on the game for more than 1 year haha.
That said, I just finished Chapter
5

Never had a problem with the camera in the Souls series either, but this one's been giving me issues. Nothing that lasts longer than a couple of seconds but I can't say that the camera's been free of issues.
You must be exceptionally lucky, everyone's been experiencing issues with the camera, myself included.
I think you're wrong. You see, the combat in this game is close to exceptional. Fix the camera and add gambits for the AI and we'd have the best battle system in the series.
As it stands, it s simply great.
And I reply the same way to your "objective" assessment of other aspects, because none of this is.
If that's all you were doing then you weren't doing it well.
It's a great battle system. :3
I just completed 28 hours into the game, and I'm on Chapter 3.
If you enjoy exploring and the game's combat, you'll have plenty to do while waiting for that patch.

I've been thinking about him a lot recently and I think he may be one of my favorite characters in anything for quite some time.
Ending spoilers ahead.
A lot of his story is not exactly in your face. In fact I had to think a bit about what he was actually up to but I've come to wonder if he was even truly evil. He wanted some level of revenge clearly, but I'd argue his sacrifice was bigger than any others and despite the fact he technically wins the world seems to be in a better position for it.
He even seems like he's expected it to go this way all along. Not once does he seem even remotely angry that you ruined his plan and I think it's because you play into it completely. Essentially killing him only sets up the final step in completing his plan and as you said earlier I don't think he intended to live either. He stated his immortality to be a curse so clearly that's his opinion of it. Other villains could have easily seen that as a gift.
I like to think that Ardyn wanted some form of revenge and decided to show the world what it's like to be engulfed in demons just as he is, but that his end goal came from a different part of him that's still in there somewhere.

I really wish they fleshed this aspect out more rather than leave us to fill in the blanks.

Chapter 13 is much worse than I was lead to believe. MUCH WORSE
THIS GAME IS MAKING ME APPRECIATE FF XIII AND I DIDN'T EVEN LIKE THAT SHIT

It's the stone cold truth.
XV is just a joy to play, while TW3 was an incredible experience overall the actual gameplay was cumbersome and repetitive.
XV is better, imo.
Then they did right with that chapter. You should appreciate FFXIII, it's a great game!

Been so busy doing all the side quest and battling everything I come across in chapter 3. I'm guessing I'll be over leveled but oh well.
19hrs and still in chapter 3. Wonder how many levels I'm going to gain after double exp.

Oh my fucking God.

Beginning of Chapter 8 spoilers:
Noctis! You have got to be fucking shitting me! You mean to honestly tell me you can't fucking tell who that Hunter is?! With that gruff-ass voice?!
Edit:
Okay, Noctis is now running with this joke. But still, I am surprised his first response wasn't "wtf are you even doing here"

That shit had me cringing so hard. I had to put the game down afterwards.

Quick question, is there anyway to change R1 to be an actual lock on instead of a soft lock on? Having to always press R1 and R3 is getting really anoying to me :S.

6 and 7 have been my favorites so far, but I guess it depends on what you like. 6 is the most coherently roadtrippy of the chapters and has some great character moments w/ the guys and a guest. 7 has an awesome guest and probably my favorite dungeon so far.

Uhhh, they clearly recognized each other. They were joking around. Is it a little awkward? I guess. But the
"remind me of a king..." and "sparring partner"
How far are you, bud?

Still in Ch. 8, but about to pull the trigger on
the boat trip. Excited to see Altissia (and do Chadarnook quest I hope)
40 hours in so far.
Where are you at?

I am confused as to how people didn't get that.
They made it as obvious as they could without outright
calling names

Well, with all the weird cuts and time skips, I can understand people kind of zoning out on some of these scenes.
I'm on Chapter 8, too! I agree with you about 6 and 7, I was just curious how far you are. I have about 50 hours in the tank. Lots of driving. I will never tire of it.

I can't get tired of listening to the Cleigne battle theme, and I didn't even go there.
It's just...
Yup. It's just so goddamn good.

major spoiler :
a game with ardyn going around absorbing deamons and helping the world only to be denied what is rightly his would be fucking awesome. a kind of faustian bargain story where ifrit plays the satan role and gives ardyn the ability to absorb deamons...
i don't want a sequel. I want a director's cut with more mandatory cutscenes and more continents. the games story could have easily been 70 hours long.

Yes, love the driving! I've collected most of the soundtracks, have tricked out the Regalia, pop it into zoom out mode, and just cruise.
Can't make up my mind on favorite driving music. FF4, FF6, FF9 field themes are all great for this. Matoya's Cave has got a surprising amount of play.
Spira unplugged.
Hmm, just wish the Florence songs and the prelude from the World of Wonder trailer were unlockable.
Did another one of these post-game dungeons to confirm my suspicions and yeah these kinda suck. They look bad and while I like the monsters from a design perspective I'm already tired of fighting these monster types.
Guess I'm done with the game, everything else I have left to do is just too tedious for me to bother and I don't care about trophies. Maybe if later patches make some QoL improvements I'll come back.
This isn't my favorite Final Fantasy in really any category and it's far from the best RPG I've played this year, but I don't regret buying it. I personally think the flaws it does have (in world content, traversal, combat, and storytelling) are really noticeable and really detrimental to the overall experience, but it's an ok game otherwise.

Depends on the dungeon for me. For the underwater dungeon with
Aranea
Really neat how there's a song that fits every dungeon.
What is this reacting to?
