Balouve Mines spoiler:
Could I be able to take down Aramusha even if I'm level 10? He's lv 53 but everything else in this cave was level 7

It's an item, found in the Balouve Mines.
Description: It's an amulet from Insomnia that symbolizes the power of friendship. It allows the team to use team attacks even if the ally is not nearby. Noctis can't equip it.

It's for the bros that item.

In regards to that enemy.. try and see what happens

Cautiously optimistic on this, keep going back and forth on how I feel about it though. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but I have some nagging feelings of doubt.

Had a moment where I genuinely rage quit the game earlier. Can't stand forced
stealth segments with mission failure if you're spotted.

When was this? I don't remember a segment like it.
Chapter 13 doesn't fail if you don't stealth. The Niflheim invasions also don't fail when you don't stealth.


Edit: Ah that section. It's really easy and short.

There's a sidequest that does tho until you reach a certain point.

Before I potentially waste more time is it worth my time to keep playing JUSTICE MONSTERS FIVE? For a chievo maybe?

You got the trophy you can stop.

I'm really enjoying my time with it so far, but I've been through "first X hours are GOTY, then it turns to shit" with way too many open world games to be in full hype mode about it yet. We'll see how it holds up after I've experience every activity the game has to offer at least twice.

Still on chapter 1.

I wish I could get as into it as you guys, I have no idea how anything works in that game, I just hit X and win, hahaha. Does it get challenging later on?
 
Amazon says delivered, I go check. No package smh. It will be here soon but I just want to get the patch download started before I head to library.

Hmm so is that thing about not doing the tutorial as it causes some bugs occurring for everyone? Wondering if I should go through it and then just restart without it.

I'm having a lot of fun with the optional content after having completed the main story. There's a lot of it and the more I do, the better my opinion gets.

If I had to do it again, I'd take my sweet time.
 
Yep.
I hate how they force it on you too... like oh yeah, you're going to get to this boat finally... nope.

The best is how pointless it feels, "yeah, um the guy we just captured, he escaped...off screen, because..um..reasons". Feels there's something more, but the delivery was awful.

Damn guys I'm pissed!

Why the fuck didn't my PS4 download the installs while I was at school. I put the game disk in made sure the update was downloading then but it in rest mode. Yet when I arrive home none of it is downloaded.

Yes, i'm actually going to play through on the English dub I noticed there's a lot of minor voicing that is not subtitled between both versions and I'm gonna miss out on a lot of context of little things

Random thing, I've just been driving home listening to classic fm (it gives me chill at rush hour) and they played Somnus.

They do sometimes play video game and movie soundtracks but it amused me because it was sandwiched between Pavarotti singing Funiculi Funicula and Shuebert's symphony number 8. Pretty eclectic I thought.

Definitely not. I was properly leveled and I still went through a number of Mega Phoenixes and Hi-Elixirs because of
his super slice attacks OHKO-ing my buddies even when I parry
.

Carbuncle keeps reviving me and I already got his health down a 15% percent. But I can't escape the fight, what do I do? I don't want to lose all my progress in this dungeon.
 
Watched 30 minutes of a stream and combat looked very dull. Am I missing something? I didn't see any magic so that may be one reason.

I'm almost finished with Dark Souls 3 and I just started The Witcher. Is the combat in FF 15 a lot worse than both of those?

I would say the combat is much more simplistic then both of those, maybe not worse.

Worse than DS3 (But they are very different), better than witcher.

Played about an hour or so. They just kind of drop you right in there don't they? Not a bad thing.

Also, it's one of the strangest and muted FF openings yet.

I like the combat, although it's a little hectic.

Graphically, it's ok so far. Frame rate seems little dodegy on OG PS4. Did they get rid of the little dodge flurries from the Dusace demo? For some reason that stuck out to me, lol.

I'm glad I watched brotherhood and KG too. Already feel like I got a good handle on the world.

Okay having an argument with my friend about that initial scene of them pushing the car to Stand By Me.

Was that song choice meant to be funny? My friend swears the entirety of that was meant to be funny. My stance is while their banter is funny it's ultimately supposed to be a bonding moment and a serious use of the song...but the ridiculousness of that song choice while a boy band is pushing a car makes it unintentionally funny.

What say you?

Same here nothing redeemed on my end.

Just got off the phone with amazon and they told me they had to send all the info over to the promo team and they will email me with in 24 business hours... lol. so annoying. The only reason I preordered from amazon was for these items. Which im sure is the reason a lot of others did too.
 
Played with open combat while the game installed and the more I played with it the more I liked. It's so much better than the Platinum demo and only reenforces the absolute mistake it was to ever release it. I haven't been able to start the game proper yet and I'm really liking what I've played. Only 10 more minutes. It's surreal I'm even playing this. Feels so good to be back with FF. I've really missed you.
 
Seems my rollercoaster with Amazon is almost over. According to them I am stilgetting it today even thought it didn't ship till 9:30. According to the tracking I was supposed to get it tomorrow but is on thectruck for delivery today. Hopefully I will be playing it later.

Its a weird hybrid system.

Unlike TW3 & DS3,Its not actually a true free form action system eventhough it looks that way.

Right there with you. Of all the games to have delayed.

;_; Sorry, yo.

You order from Amazon?

Mine's apparently on the UPS truck and set to be delivered today, but we'll see.

Amazon, yeah. Here's the damnable thing of it all: I ordered Steins;Gate 0 as well, right? And both games were scheduled to leave the same sorting facility up in Michigan, right?

...and yet, Steins;Gate 0 left but FFXV did not. :\

Did anyone have problems updating the game? I swear it wasn't 1.02 when I put the ps4 into rest mode an hour ago, they delayed the game to avoid day one patches UGH

UPS says mine should be delivered today but it doesnt say out for delivery. Just in transit.. Hoping it comes today but really thinking about not preordering at all from amazon if Im wanting to play it day 1.

Just run away and warp to the entrance (click R3). You can fight him later on when you're ready. You are talking about the mines, right? You can definitely escape.

Well i should probably clarify that they have changed it to be more western i guess, so the meaning is more or less the same but sometimes its just different enough to how i would have translated it that it sounds wrong

Like in the beginning when the car have broken down and people drive past and Ignis says Shikata ga nai(nothing can be done, it cant be hepled) and the text says "Sometimes these things happen." Its technically the same but i just wouldnt translate it that way so it messes with the flow for me

Then we have moments like when they are pushing the car and Gladio complains and Prompto responds with "Hai hai" and the text says "Ok tough guy" or something like that and in that case it fits because in the english language they dont really have a phrase that fits hai hai and the way its said.

It kinda is like a bad fansub at times but im probably just being really picky
I see, well i kinda got used to these small things, whatching One Piece with Horrible Subs-subs. I know what you mean with Hai hai for example.
This. game is just too japanese to not play with japanese voices. I love Promptos japanese attitude for example.
