i wish the eng subs actually covered everything

i want to have the audio in jp but there are some things missing from the subs like vendor chat :(

I'd rather have that meaningless banter missing than having to deal with english voices that dont fit the heavily japanese mimics and gestures.

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

Most useful ones i find are
From the vegetable trader near cid, they are upgradable thru cid as well, and most of them absorb elements, which is very useful, for making quincasts for high lvl hunts make them fast and do great damage.

After a certain point, you have lots of hp to start using the arminger weapons. There is an accessory for nocitis to cycle through weapons auto matically as well, i still use regular weapons though, because link strikes are too good.

I'd like to hear some hands on impressions from fellow GAF'ers regarding performance on PS4 Pro. I won't be able to play this game til Thursday as I live in a very rural area and must take my console to a friends house to download the huge 8GB update, but I look forward to playing it greatly.

I just hope it isn't a mess of an experience, technically speaking, for the Pro.

Knowing my luck, I'll update it, get it back, and SE will release a new patch >_>

I finally got my copy but I can't start until tomorrow when the patch will be fully downloaded... stupid slow connection.

That said I have one question: is "Too much is never enough" theme song used in the game or not?

I have used it since patch 1.01 and then got patch 1.02

I wasn't blown away with the graphics at 1.01 - I thought it looked like fallout

1.02 is a massive improvement - I think the graphics and general look is much crisper and fresher

I have not experienced any lag or framerate issues at all. No aliasing - no errors of any kind really (apart from a chocobo spawning on top of the tent and then clipping directly off it)

I use a standard 1080p TV until my 4k arrives later

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).

Ok, this sounds much more like "it surprised me that they gave her a stupid FF-like name again". That makes more sense. It's not about Lightning in particular being dumb, but all of their names.

Nothing forced him to come up with Ignis Stupeo Scientia, though.

Thank you! I too am using a 1080p TV. I just don't want the game to be a stuttering mess. Sounds like I'm best off waiting til Thursday after all. It's the earliest I can update my game. Technically, I COULD play it today - version 1.0, but I'll be missing out on some Kingsglaive stuff I believe. Might as well get the proper experience.

Thanks again!

Spam R1+Triangle in those situations until you get out of there.

Also - the 1.0 save doesn't work with other patch files. It would be pointless.

Other people have been moaning about frame rate or all the other general foibles but I haven't seen any

I've never played a FF game (crazy, I know). I avoided JRPGS during the SNES/PS1 gen, and then always felt like it was too late to jump in.

So my question: is it too late to jump in? Could someone enjoy FF15 as their first FF game? It looks interesting and I'd love to see it in HDR on my Pro.

When you boot it up it says 'A Final Fantasy for Fans and New-Comers Alike'

The short answer is yes, absolutely.

There are alot of 'hints' and 'nods' to previous FF games but you don't necessarily lose anything by not having played them. Now is a good a time as any because FF15 is outstanding.

My friend said there's 3 difficulties. Easy, Normal, Default.

What's default? If it's normal, then that's stupid to have the "Default" option.

Final Fantasy games are unrelated enough that you can jump in at at basically any entry, unless it has a -2 in the name, then it's a direct sequel.

It's there for every option in the game. Just so you can turn it back to the default option for everything in case you mess around with settings too much and regret what you did.

Earlier someone said it was but they didn't say how or when it's used.

I got three sets of codes. One of the three worked for Mage Mashers but nothing else. Another set worked for the Blazefire but nothing else. And nothing worked for the Gae Bolg. I have no idea why I got three sets or why they aren't working.

This game has a lot of stupid decisions that make you ponder.


Question for anyone who's in the post game content.
Where do we fight that big ass bird that we sneak by in Chapter 1 to get the minerals?

This is probably the best time to jump in. The game is very open to new fans as much as it still retains franchise's spirit. There are nods to past games and stuff, but you will understand everything just by playing this game (and watching the movie lol).

So can anyone suggest some good alternate covers to print out? I'm loving the game, but only got the standard edition, with that ugly artwork.

What do the Oracle of Ascension Coins do? They're key items but they're tons of them all over the game world. Can't sell them so do they have a purpose?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
So, when you get to the boat right after speaking with Dino.... I'm level 5. The main quest is for level 2 or above. So I'm on track...

But all the side quests are 14-17 or so, it seems... so I feel way underleveled? Am I doing something wrong, or should I just plan to come back at a later point?
