So after getting a hunt and turning around after running the wrong direction, Noct randomly stopped, said "Hmm" and zoomed in on this picture, a drawing of the girl working here. Thought it was pretty funny. Does this happen to everyone? Or is it just something you can trigger? Wasn't a normal "Check" kind of thing, just happened on it's own. Was on side of desk opposite the Rest guy.

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?
PS4 only shows the size of remaining parts that you have to download. Get another 500Mb and then pause and resume and it'll only show the full size being 3GB.

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".

Hold on to your butt then lol. Lots of strange coming your way
 
So how's the selection of clothing? I asked before but I don't think it got answered. Can you buy clothes?
Nope

Your options are the four you have at the beginning, an outfit you get later in the story, an outfit gained from an endgame dungeon or an outfit you can get by buying a real life $460 jacket.

So like the ocean isn't supposed to be purple right? Can anyone confirm that it's not purple for them? I know that sounds weird but I tried looking it up and only found more proof of purple ocean and no comparisons of what it's supposed to look like lol. P

This was my fear. Being waaaay to overpowered for the main Story.

To be fair I hoarded over 50k xp and spent them at Galdin and over 10k before that too.

There is a pic like that in the Hammerhead dinner too, of Cindy, Waiter guy and Cid.
 
‪That Kingsglaive scene
at the end of Chapter 1
is jarring as shit. ‬

I think the sequence actually played better without it. It didn't play well, but it was better.

Yeah the whole game has some strange editing.

There's a dungeon in Chapter 2 that has specific banter with it that is really unnatural. People will start their responses 0.001 seconds after someone asks them something.

thats because the boys arent socially challenged neogaf users and actually have the social and mental capacity to respond to a question without drooling out their mouths for 30 seconds first

Nooope. Same glitch happened with me, but exiting to the title screen fixed it.

I actually didn't mind the Kingsglaive scene that plays after the newspaper scene, but I also haven't seen Kingsglaive, so it was just kind of a neat way to help display what happened (though it probably should have happened before the newspaper being read, but eh).

Actually really loving the game so far, and the OST's on path to being one of my all-time favorites. Hammerhead theme did such a great job setting the mood. Digging the fishing as well. It has such a strangely old-school JRPG feeling all-around, barring a few modern touches. But stuff like finding an item behind a plant, inane NPC chatter, and so on really take me back.

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.

Hello, Mr. Lehey! 😆

Its own problem.

Just finished Kingsglaive and was about to jump into FFXV proper...but now I'm waiting on the install to finish...

How are the English voices? I've got time to decide.

I have a sneaking suspicion there are micro-transactions inbound for that. Swim wear for Gladios, official Doc Martens for Prompto, a French Maid outfit for Cindy... sky's the limit.

aight. i'm 8 hours in. about to give up i think. i want to like this soooo badly. but the side quests are dull. seriously, they are straight up 2006 mmo fetch quests. the environments are empty. i just arrived at a big city. theres 10 people here. the story is not that captivating. maybe ive been spoilt by the witcher. and the combat is good but the fights are starting to all play out the same. beyond the boss fights, the npcs are not easy enough to make big groups a breeze. but not hard enough to warrant going into wait mode or using anything beyond holding down circle. also traversal is so painful. sitting in a car while it drives slowly across a desert is boring as fuck. having a limit on how far you can sprint but letting you play a mini game to extend it is just a weird mechanic.

its not that much better than ff14 imo. but at least ff14 has life in it. the story is alright but no where near witcher standards. and its an ok open world but i think stuff like watchdogs2 is better realised and varied.

i dunno... its just. decidedly average. but its trying sooo hard to please and i'm trying sooo hard to be pleased. but i think we both know thats its just not quite there. if you looked inside your heart and asked yourself, forget about the past, and what final fantasy means to you, and how important it is to the thing you love, is this game great? i dont see how you could say yes.

Really jarring at first, but they're growing on me. They just feel a bit more cartoonish than I expected with their pitch and accents (Gladio's especially is about as "sterotypical beefcake" as you get) . I'm starting to enjoy it more and more - the actors are good enough at the actual acting part, just some funky baseline directing decisions.

Caved and bought it. Finished Chapter 1 a couple of hours ago. I'm actually digging it a lot! Not sure why but it's clicking with me better than the demos ever did. Especially the combat.
