What are these subtitles for ants? Seriously though, they are way too small on my 55 inch TV. I wanted to play with Japanese voices but I cannot stand tiny subtitles.

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.

Hope is the best character though. He is after all Light-san husbando.

How's the loot and post game content? That all in really care about in JRPGS now

Loot is disappointing since it's just a bunch of glowing dots. Post game content is pretty great especially if you leave all the side stuff to the end. Most dungeons stuff pretty much requires you to be lvl40 and above.

Hmmmmm

I'm very tempted now, especially when hearing how good the dungeons are too.

Okay done for the day. Reasonably fun but I'm still struck by how little respect for the player's time the game has. Fast travel feels like such a mess coming off... basically any open world game of the last few years.

Word of advice: rush to unlock Chocobos.
 
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.

I totally agree with you, regarding XIII-2. I like its story more than XIII.

I did not played a lot of XV yet, I can't judge if XIII's battle system is better. I liked it so much, it was quite fun to change roles at the middle of the battle.

XV's battle system is more a action one, I can't compare it to XV's.

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.

Yeah, he would've chosen something smart like Ignis Stupeo Scientia.

I love me some Nomura silliness, but if he actually called Lightning "dumb", that's some negative levels of self-awareness.
 
They look really nice together.

Really hope the FF 12 Remaster, FF7 Remake and the off course inevitable FF 13 Trilogy Remaster gonna have such a steelbook.

Oh no... just started and I'm running around after dropping the car off. The framerate is atrocious on my Pro :(

I'm not even that susceptible to framerates being that bad in most games I play. If it's minimal I don't even notice. I'm just walking/running and it's bad here.

The framerate is actually solid, but it has huge framepacing issues, kinda like Bloodborne.

Try the Light Mode on Pro, it should feel a lot better. Looks worse, though.

I'm a bit confused about fishing. Am I supposed to cast it and just wait for the fish to bite? I keep moving with R2 to bob the rig around but nothing is biting. I'm on the very first fishing quest you get

Ants - famous of course for their fantastic eyesight? haha

Aim about til the aimer turns orange - lob the lure in

Slowly reel back in - a red bar will appear at the top if a fish is near and interested

Rinse and repeat until it snaps.

Use the HUD to know where to cast.

Fucking great, my game wasn't delivered and no one knows where the fuck it is.

Seems like there's a problem with a big transport chain here in Spain (Seur), people with orders from Game and Amazon got their game delayed to atleast tomorrow (myself included).

The yellow dots are rare fishes if I ain't mistaken, which are harder to get a bite. Just look at the map and aim at the blue.. it helps knowing which line you are using and bait for better results.

Recast it. When the red line starts keep an eye on it. It'll get longer in different directions. You have to move it slow.

Look at the mini map as well it's essential

From what I gather, you have to toss the line directly onto the dot. Once it hits the water, if you don't get the rumble/indication that the fish has seen it, I think you have to recast. Someone correct me if wrong.

Trying the Open combat mode while waiting for the full install. Feels like there's some new input lag that wasn't there in the demos. OG PS4 here. ;(

Played for like an hour so far, love isn't strong enough a word. I'm getting my UCE today and my Deluxe from Amazon. Gonna try and sweet talk the boss into letting me leave early.

Had a similar experience with Destiny from amazon.co.uk. God damn it was infuriating.
 
So I have yet to play the game and I'm already annoyed. Despite the game being delayed in order to make sure there wasn't a day one patch (SE's exact reasoning!) the first thing that popped up when I put the disk in my PS4 was it going to download a day one patch...

So I don't like being lied to which irks me already but hell if it was a small update for bug fixes its not a big deal... Problem is the fucking patch is 10Gigs! Its taking over a freaking hour to download before I can play the game.

Yes I'm sure many people already knew these things but I've been largely radio silent on FF15 for the past several weeks/months so I had not herd/seen that this was a thing and it really colors my opinion of the game in a negative way before I can even play the damn thing. I know in the grand scheme of things its not a big deal but I'm finding this particularly irritating when they stated the reason for the delay was so that this WOULDN'T be a thing.

Should I watch Kingsglaive and the anime scenes first before first booting up FFXV tonight? Anything else I should look at as a primer before starting the game? I kind of want to dive in but there seems to be a ton of extra stuff on the sides that might help fill in some of the gaps left out of the main story.

I love me some Nomura silliness, but if he actually called Lightning "dumb", that's some negative levels of self-awareness.

He didn't say "dumb", but he distanced himself from it, said that it was a surprising choice and that it forced him to follow suit with Noctis (since his game was still supposed to be "versus" FFXIII at the time).

https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.ph...I-Translated-Tetsuya-Nomura-Famitsu-Interview

Nomura: Next time we give information, we will reveal his name. It doesn’t have much to do with anything else, though.

Famitsu: We’re looking forward to it. Will it be a name associated with the weather or the skies, following Cloud, Squall, Tidus, etc.?
Nomura: I thought “should we stop with the weather names, already?” but the FFXIII team named theirs Lightning, and so Versus XIII will follow suit.

Famitsu: Lightning’s name was quite a surprise, wasn’t it?
Nomura: Lightning’s name also surprised me, even though I was already familiar with her. If they started to use another name at this late date, I wouldn’t be able to get used to it, though.

Well, kingsglaive definitely feels like one of those youtube "video game the movie" things, just a bunch of cut scenes edited together.

Damn this game is freakin fantastic. I don't understand the negativity about the story being disjointed. Well sure it's disjointed but the game is so engaging I don't care. Just hanging out with my bros doing shit in the countryside. The solid characters and group interaction do a lot to even make the periods of sidequests entertaining.

I really feel like I'm on a roadtrip and it's such a great feeling.

Myself and others would say play chapter 1 completely (or up to just after Dino's mission) and then watch Kingsglaive.

That's what my wife said she'd have done had she known what was coming in chap 1 too.

We watched Kings first

Is that middle one Lightning Returns? That's hot.
 
Anyone know where to get some good weapons? The best I found is the shop by vesper pool with the Durandal and stuff that cost 10k each.

I'm already lvl 50
 
This wait for UPS today will be painful. Feels like I'm the last person to get the game lmao

Games releasing on a Tuesday is a massively stupid idea.

Suppliers receive it the previous Friday or earlier - consumers can get it a full 4 days before release if they go to the right place.

It makes people feel like they are waiting ages while others plow through it.
