I was so giddy the first time this happened for me.
I'm playing King Tale right now.... it's... good?
I mean, the level design is just a straight path and it can only been controlled with the sticks, but the combat is decent enough, considering it's a game done for special pre-order in selected shops.
You can evade, have different combos and magics, and each enemy has it's own tricks (you need to break defense, weak to certain magics, using bombs to kill enemies, etc).
Yeah for a preorder game I think it's cool IMO, as long as you don't expect something big.
He has never appeared for me and I have 61 hours into the game.
I find it funny when people say they play FF games for their story. IMO there hasn't been a good FF story in the last 15 years. And even then, I think most of the FF games have mediocre/generic stories with a few of them having great stories.

I tracked my Amazon preorder at 10am EST and it said on time. I check it at UPS.com and it says in transit. On time today. 5 mins ago UPS man drives to my apt to drop something off for someone else. I ask about my package. He said he doesnt have it. I go back inside and check tracking again and it now says coming tomorrow.. Ill never preorder from amazon again.
If Kagari were here she would tell you that isn't the case for XIV. Many actually like XII's story and X's. So they haven't really been bad for the past 15 years. Just not universally loved. XV's story had potential but that's pretty much it.
So no one knows how to 'activate' Carbuncle?
On a different note, I wish this game had a bestiary.
Enemy design is top notch. But sometimes its hard to view them in detail due to the chaos of combat. The best shot I have at viewing them closely is through Prompto's photographs.

Overscan is ruining my game play. Everything is cut off. I only have a 720p tv. I can't turn off overscan on my tv. It's old. Adjusting the display area in the ps4 menu doesn't help. Whee.
So I'm reading online that the FFXV is only as big as Skillege from The Witcher 3.. wtf? Is this true? Didn't the developer say the map size was "incomprehensible"..? If true this is disappointing as fuck for me.
Can someone give me an estimate of how big the explorable portion of the map is? In relation to TW3.

Having low expectations is a really great thing, haha. So many people talking about how shitty the story is, and how it doesn't tell you anything and Kingsglaive is necessary, that I was happy to find out that they even explain the contents of the peace treaty, both the marriage and the lands beyond the wall being surrended to Niflheim, with the empty promise of the empire protecting them, as well as the public's reaction to that deal.
I wonder how the news will talk of Niflheim and the attack after the fact. They were reporting on the death of Noctis and Luna (still didn't get to that part, though, just speaking from videos), so there's a heavy influence of Niflheim on the media. Even if indirect, since they pretty much rule the world now. There's no "other side" to any story anymore.
Oh yeah, I need to keep checking the newspaper in Hammerhead as frequently as possible. Pretty sure it had different text for each day I interacted with it. It's probably a very low number, though, but it's nice to see this kind of stuff.
Only the name you gave to Carbuncle.

Hmm hard to tell. The Witcher 3 overall is bigger. XV's world feels massive mainly cause everything is more spaced out unlike with TW3. Yesterday I tested the map on foot and on car. On foot it took me exactly 1 hour to get across (no sprinting) on a main road. On car it took 10 minutes to reach from end to the other.
But yea it's obvious they had to scale things down whether cause of budget or time. It's another MGSV/Bioshock Infinite scenario.

All of that stuff is totally incomparable because every game measures its distances differently. If you go by the distances offered in the game itself, the world of Eos is incredibly small.
But in terms of actually playing, it should be sufficient to say that it is a very big world with a lot of stuff to do in it.
Can you connect your PS4 somehow to your desktop monitor OR use the remote play function for windows/mac to remote play it on a notebook display?
Well it detects your save game and says carbuncle will visit. Has not happened for me yet tho
I love X myself, but XII wasn't that hot. And even if you liked 12's story, that was still 10 years ago. I just don't think people should look to the FF series as a series of great storytelling. I think that ship has long sailed. Still no excuse for 13 or 15's story, but I just don't have much hope of getting a good story out of this series. I do expect fun gameplay, a compelling world, good music and things like that. That's why I am one of the few who enjoyed 13, even if I couldn't tell you what was going on.
Whoever said that must have been taking Acid when they drove across Lucis.
It's about Velen size, if not bigger actually, your also in a car and it still takes 10+ minutes to cross.
Sell most of them.
Can't say if it's true or not, but Including all the water areas in Skillege, that'd be pretty huge still.
Thanks.

Hahaha, fishing is so damn fun. Caught a pretty big one (Prompto was losing his shit over it) but unfortunately the damn line got cut 
This is by far the coolest feature I have ever seen in a game and have no clue behind the tech at. I'm constantly asking when the fuck did he take this lol.
Prompto is a genius!
You can actually see him photographing from time to time. Yeah, he literally whips out the camera instead of fighting in the middle of the battle. XD
I already found a weapon better than the Masamune and I haven't even done the first story quest lmao just went exploring to places I didn't in the Judgment demo. Guess I don't care that much about the Amazon weapons
Wish I knew how to get the Royal Rainment though.
Edit: is there a combo list somewhere and I'm just missing it? I started air attacking with the sword but haven't been able to replicate since

Noo, and install before an install? lol
6 hours in and I'm having a good time. Been a long time coming but I'm completely satisfied ATM. The combat is great and I actually like the magic system. Eat some food to become resistant to the elements and bomb away. Taking a small break for now but I'm looking forward to moving the story along.

Talk to Cidney
Try out the other control scheme and play around with positioning. Also unlock stuff on the ascension grid.

This is exactly what is worrying me before i start the game on the weekend. Everything that is actually gameplay related seems to be kind of...not good. Whereas the positive comments seem to be "i cant stop playing but i dont know why" or "the music is so good and one of the characters hummed the ff victory theme"
Im all for nostalgia in my games but i dont expect nor want a game to heavily rely on it. Also, i saw you quoted MGS5, but that game had absolutely PHENOMENAL gameplay, which FF15 from what i have seen/read, does not seem to have :/
I know i sound like such a downer but its been so long...ive waited and i just want something exceptional from this game. Something GREAT even. And i dont want it to be because nostalgia or pretty vistas or "the music was epic when i fought this specific boss"
