Yeah, I mean I know that, but... why? The whole thing is just weird. There's no buildup to it or anything. It's just boom do this thing for like 10 minutes. There had to be more to it in earlier scripts.

Well, I agreed that the whole scene was rushed and it had a very dumb transition, though.

It's obvious that a lot of it will be explained during Gladio's DLC. But I hope one of the patched scenes expands on this more.

It's a really good way to get AP, if you get the right Ascension nodes.

-whistles-



warp strike! warp strike! warp strike! warp strike! - 4ap

It's the best way to farm AP atm

So what is the point of no return? I'm not done mulling about doing quests and kinda want to delay chapter 13 as long as possible.

I'm on chapter 10.

That first patch could potentially just be a few balance changes to make that chapter go slightly smoother (I'm not up to there, so not sure what it could entail myself).

If that was the case, it would be cool if that came out pretty soon to be in time for Christmas.

The other stuff I'm fine with leaving for the 2nd playthrough: wouldn't mind the changes though before I reach Ch 13 if they indeed make the experience better.

So, if that's the hook for the Gladio DLC are there similar 'hooks' for the other characters?

Lock on changes and options would be a huge help for me

How did Ignis go blind. What exactly happened to Prompto after he fell off the train.

That happened to me once. I had to reload. lol, luckily I didn't lose much progress. Idk if there's any way to get that one back.

Ok guys, you really all need to try out the Bow of the clever + Overwhelm combo.

40 hits of tons of damage while invincible. I took out a crew of 2 red giants at level 29 with absolute ease. Make sure to stack magic strength as i think it makes it even stronger.

So I reached chapter 14 yesterday...

The fact that Gladio, Ignis & Prompto's stories on the side aren't explained is so infuriating, this and what happened to Luna's bro.

The diner guy in Old Lestallum creeps me out.

Select a hunt: "mmm... Kenny approves."

Return from hunt: "Kenny and I've been waiting for you."

"Kenny and I pray for your success"

"Come back soon, Kenny's waiting for ya..."

:(

check my tone? It wasn't a serious statement, but a minor check your links.



But..........keep on reading

maybe its because I put you fool instead of ya fool......capitalize stuff.....who knows



also kid? come on....................seriously?

WORLDSTAR WORLDSTAR

Edit: Who else thinks this game needs an FFXII-esque bestiary? I think it's the one thing stopping the hunt system from being awesome. That and a central repository to pick up hunts the ability carry multiple hunts.
 
Just finished A Kings Tale 100%.
There is no platinum trophy unfortunately.
Cool little game. Especially the Challenge missions were fun.
It really was surprisingly good.

Roughly how many ascension coins are there? I'm thinking of using them on something but don't want to if it means I'll never be able to afford anything else.

What's the deal with the summons in this game? I've got Ramuh like 10 times but I have yet to see Titan.

I haven't seen Titan a single time either. Some people here say that Titan appears more often if one or more partners are down, but no luck so far.

I've gotten plenty of Leviathan as well.

I've gotten them all

Ramuh comes when a fight is taking to long
Titan when 2 members are down or even dead.
Leviathan obviously near water and someone is down
Shiva I've only gotten when the entire team is just getting wrecked completely

So is it just me or is driving to places kinda fucking suck in this game?

I'm about 8 hours in and I just spent 9 minutes doing nothing while the car was driving to a new destination only to reach it when it was nightfall, which meant giant overpowered monsters greeted me on the freeway when I got out. Oh and it turned out it was an overpass and my destination was actually in the woods below and there was no way to jump down to that area.
 
Hmm, is it possible to play most of the game without using a camp or inn? I'm thinking of limiting how much camping I do so I can hold off on stat gains I get from how much EXP the game gives.

I enjoyed it for the first few hours of the game, but it got tedious as time went on. And the invisible walls was a major problem. In general the traversal of the open world was a pain.

Ch.7 story spoilers

So I traded Gladio for Aranea...

Too late to me, automatic save got overwritten. I didn't even notice I lost it...

Is

Ifrit
?

It's weird, I got Leviathan in Insomnia and I don't recall being any bodies of water in there. Or perhaps I didn't look hard enough? In fact, I recall getting Leviathan in an another area with absolutely no water, but I could be wrong....

No, she's not. I've gotten her quite a few times in different areas.

Eventually the game does force you to camp and cash in your exp, but apparently they will be putting something in the game that stops you from leveling.

Yeah, the only time I got Leviathan was against the final boss

No, she's not. I've gotten her quite a few times in different areas.
I mean, is there any way to
finish the Ifrit battle without summoning Shiva
?

Sure made it look like a scripted summon, but maybe it was just coincidence.

Wow, amazing! I didn't get Leviathan during the final boss. That should've been fucking awesome!

No. I tried beating Ifrit while ignoring the Summon prompt. His life just won't deplete completely until you summon Shiva and let her shatter him to death.

Didn't kill him in one shot, just took off half his HP and sent the battle into the second phase

That's what I thought.

Finished the game. I left a lot of hunts and sidequests behind to avoid breaking the game. I'm not pretending to platinum it cause don't care about trophies.

Any interesting hunts or sidequests list that are worth it to experience before i shelve the game? (please avoid lady frog and the guy with the dog quests)
 
I played this about an hour last night and I just can't do it anymore. Combat is terrible, camera is useless, story is non-existent, characters are all cliches/stereotypes.

I've never been into JRPGs and I've never played a FF before, so I guess I should have known better, but I was hoping the combat would be good enough to overlook everything else.
 
Hoooooooly shit you guys. Maybe I'm way LTTP (32 hrs in but still on ch5) but that Cleigne battle music. Wow. It reminds me of old mega man for some reason. The music in this game continues to impress. Which says a lot as I already expected it to be very, very good.

Didn't Jason Schreiers review say one of the post game dungeons is the best thing he's ever done in games? That might be worth a look?

So that item doesn't come in the game at all? I guess I'll just have to wait to see what NG+ offers once that patch comes out.

I was wanting to mitigate my side quest completion to begin with but with news of how patches will affect the main game and an NG+ patch coming I want to slow down my main story progression but I also don't want to just not play the game.

So I finally arrived at the end of a dungeon where I'm supposed to take a picture, yet my friends here tells me it is too dark because it's 8 at night but I'm literally
standing on a volcano
