When did you go there?

I went after getting the Regalia but from what I've read of JD stuff it should be there at teh start of the game.

This is going to really suck if I have to abandon my saves and start new because of glitched spawns.

Was before I got Regalia, but I ran away. Now i'm wondering if I should have attempted it >_<

What's this about saving experience points and being able to double them?

If you sleep at a Motel/Hotel you can't cook food but get Bonus xp, but they cost money to sleep at. I think the Trailers multiply it by 1.3 for 30gil, the Hotel in Galdin Kai multiplies your XP by x2 for 10k gil.

jesus fucking christ

this 9 GB patch is going to take the whole god damn night.

My PS4 is on rest mode and in 40 minutes it only downloaded 2.3 GB.

The fuck is with this speed. Guess I won't play this shit tonight.

You can still play the game without losing anything of consequence. I mean you miss what, Wait Mode and Kingsglaive cutscenes. If you really want to play the game, you will have the same experience as everyone else.

Trailers are 1.2X (30), hotels are 1.5X (300) and resorts 2X (at least Quay, 10K; though you get a free one at the end of Chapter One, so folks may want to save their experience until that point).
 
If you discovered more then feel free to share instead of being passive aggressive.

Can anyone else answer this? I want to know as well. Not too found of the casual outfits for most of the crew except for Ignis.

I've been sticking to their defaults for the most part or the no jacket version.
 
My game isn't here, and I'm pretty sure it's not going to get here tonight. If so, this is the first time Amazon has let me down. Was supposed to be here by 8pm and it's 8:10pm. UPS tracking says it arrived in the Buffalo facility @ 7:12pm...

So um, can I just sell the shit dropped from mobs. I'm actually full on tusks and stuff or is there something important there used for? It's stuff in the treasure tab I think

Ive been fishing for 2 hours haha sooooo fun :)

Got me a beer and chips :)

Where did you go to fish?

Sorry if this was asked but how do I get the rest of the car radio tracks? Right now I only have ff1,7,13 and xv music.

You have to buy them from shops. FFIV is in Hammerhead iirc.

I'd only sell some of what you are full on.

Yes, or use them to make magic. At least see what kind of magic you can get out of something before scrapping it.

Can only fish in Galdin Quay in Leide. Chapter 3 is when the world opens up.

Am I the only one who is annoyed that it takes so long for the field theme music to start playing? I have the feeling that it takes at least 30-60 seconds after leaving an outpost for the theme to start playing and in this time frame the chance is pretty high that I either run into enemies, open the menu or enter another outpost which interrupts the theme again. If only the theme would just continue where it left off after fighting enemies or opening the menu....
It's a shame, since I really like the theme and I have to deliberately stand around to listen to it completely.

Just started playing. I'm only in the tutorial, but oh my god, the controls are SO much more responsive than Duscae and Platinum demos. Just like that, my biggest anxiety about this game is slipping away.
 
Was before I got Regalia, but I ran away. Now i'm wondering if I should have attempted it >_<

I killed the Sabretusks, then slept at the haven/camp to the west of it then went back in the morning and it showed up.

So I guess it's not a guaranteed spawn but chance based.

Just kill whatever's there then sleep and return until it shows up.

At least now I know my game isn't bugged.
 
Is the chocobo music going to play every single time i ride one? It kills the chill vibes when i'm exploring. It's cool how it transitions when you stand still though.

People certainly weren't kidding when they said the story seems really poorly told. I think XIII actually gave more explanations than this game does, and that's tragic considering it also suffered from the same problems. Characters not really being introduced, glaring bits of information being left out and so on.

I'm not massively far in with only 6ish hours on the clock, so I do hope it improves.

Shame either way, the game play is really solid.

San Francisco here and it's been telling me it's on the way for like 12 hours now. Work kicked my ass today and it will tomorrow, not having a copy of this is just the shit icing to an already shit day. Like fuck, I knew I should've canceled my pre order and gone digital.

The flow of the battle system makes this game. Holy crap. Worth the purchase so far. It seems people have been warm on it, if not saying it's great but you really have to give props to this dev team for being able to integrate all the team members in such a way without breaking the flow of combat.

I'm still developing the muscle memory but I can see it becoming even better when you get it down to twitch movements and harder battles.

So I have a couple questions and wondered if I could get some spoiler free answers.

First off. I just hit chapter 3. Is this
the whole map? Just curious because I don't see Altissia

Secondly. I've unlocked Chocobo's for hire. How do I
change their color? Is it something I need to progress further for? Do you get to own a Chocobo or do you always need to rent them?

Lastly should I stick to the story for now or take a break to do some hunts? I've only done one or two along the way so far but this felt like a natural spot to go off on my own.

I'm probably getting to this post too late, but I would advance the story because certain open world events open up that add to the variety. Also, it's a good time raining down summons on hunts and inside dungeons, so it's worth it to unlock some of those by progressing further as well.
 
Brotherhood episode 2 was SO good. Really glad that I decided to watch Kings and these episodes back to back for the first time today, it's gotten me even more excited.

You could turn off freeze cam when the bros die or pop a potion

Sigh... my Amazon shipment got delayed for some unknown reason. Naturally, I was off work today and didn't get notified of the delay from UPS until 8:00PM :-(

My copy arrived hours ago but I'm not able to play it because I live in a shitty apartment building that has a cut off 8pm for when you can pick up a package after they've finished processing it.

8pm has passed and the assholes didn't process it. I hate this place so much.

Told myself I would play for a bit just to get to the end of chapter 1. 6 hours later I was still on the damn game.

Totally loving it but dear God at the differences in side quests, so many are pure shit with the occasional great one. No idea if I actually want to even continue with side quests anymore at this rate as it's so hit and miss.

Yeah. I had one job after work: Get to Galdin Quay.

Did everything but that.

~9 hours of playtime, still on Chapter 1.

I wanted to play with JP audio, but man, the subtitles suck and are hard to read. Anyone else have this problem?

Yeah. Quite a few folks are saying the text is too small. Hopefully SE puts out a patch that allows you to adjust it.
 
Was making good progress until my kids commandeered controller. Spent 20 minutes driving Noctis into the corner by the diner bathroom at hammerhead and giggling uncontrollably. Then fought Bandersnatch repeatedly with predictably grim results.

Anyway, they're tucked away safe and sound, time to get back at it.

That Dino character is ... odd. His femme style with the intense masc accent, and the blackmailing a prince.

I totally burst out laughing in chapter 1 when he said
"see, i'm a reporter by day and an amateur jeweler by night".
 
K weird, my patch was taking a while to download, 9gb total. It was half way through, I paused and restarted and then it was only downloading a 3.5gb file.

Wth?

Just seems like a stereotype of an old timey news reporter to me.
