TFW when you can do ultimate Air Steps ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Feels good man
So what chapter do I have to start worrying about not getting to do side quests or whatever? Is there a point of no return, or at least a very long stretch of not having access to the open world? I'm currently in chapter 8
You can always return back.. but there's going to be a point where it's going to be awhile before you can.
Okay what camera settings do you all use?

Auto correction on, Middle, tracking at 3 and removing the cut ally bs
 
What is this auto regen HP bs?

Yeah you constantly heal even in battle. Certain foods increase the heal rate - as do certain ascension unlocks.

You can even warp to points and heal quicker or hide behind rocks to heal quicker

And you can use very inexpensive items like Potion to heal half your hp..... with no cooldown

and you can give your squad 'first aid' skills so they can heal themselves when they get hurt

Or maybe Noctis' journey was actually a metaphor for Matsuno's time directing XII, and they're just paying tribute to the source material. Versus XIII would have been outlined after the drama, maybe Nomura was inspired by the horror he witnessed.

(incredibly vague, but I don't want to even implicitly spoil things here)
 
All I want to know is if it's better than XIII. None of the reviews I've seen this far mention this.


I still loved 13. But 15 is a world a away from 13.

13 super linear guided experience. 15 throws you into an open world from the start. You are almost overloaded with stuff to do.
 
Is it possible to change the difficulty in the middle of a playthrough? My friend isn't very good at action games, so I don't know if he should start on Easy or Normal.

that puzzling face
There's something to be said where the main cast of XIII is generally disliked (personally I'm fine with them except for Hope, heh) and the main cast of XV is strong enough to outweigh faults in the game.

I think so

The nomura midas touch
 
You got there pretty quickly. :O But hey, as Sania says, "science waits for no man!"

thank you! i'll give it a try when i get back from work. yah i got the game really early, at 82 hours already, clearing EVERYTHING i can before i advance the story. still at the chapter before you leave lucis.

i think i cleared almost everything you can do, before advancing. there are no more hunts available cept rank 8 ones i can't access yet. rainbow frogs were the last thing left.

even got all the weapons available for trading carrots and upgraded them all

XIII has a better battle system, better magic system, but less stuff to do. I guess XIII-2 is a better game among the three from a game play perspective, but it's just me.

Also, I really don't like XV's claimed enemy visible but sneaky random encounter system due to their less than optimal open world technology.
 
Nomura designed the main cast of FFXIII except for Snow. However he had no influence on their personalities and their writing. For example, he basically stated that he finds the name "Lightning" dumb and that he wouldn't have named her that if he had been the writer.
 
I posted this in the review thread but thought it'd be better to ask for input in the OT:

Question, GAF:

I really liked the Japanese VA in Brotherhood. Is Japanese VA with English subtitles available in the game? Is it of similar quality?

For that matter, is the Japanese VA with English subtitles decent in Kingsglaive?
