Kingsglaive is rough to say the least. Cool CG and action scenes (when they are coherent).

Oh well it sets up the main game I guess

What did you think about the previous chapters in the second half of the game? I've been getting pretty discouraged with some of the impressions flying around..

I feel for you. I put 24 hours into it but decided to put the game on hold until my 4k TV finally turns up (tomorrow).

It looks soooo good on the pro that I want to do the big battles I anticipate are coming up SPOILER
Against Titan
in as high quality as I can.

I absolutely do not understand how the

Wait fuck me you have to hold the goddamn button to block? Really?

awesome. thank you!

it's weird that stuff like this and changing the view in the car isn't explained somewhere when you get access to them

Yeah it is strange they do that. I'm pretty sure it told me on a loading screen but 99% of the time on a loading screen I am dealing with eBay stuff so most of that info I miss out on haha

Game is pretty solid so far. I am actually enjoying the combat but I am way over leveled now since I wanted to do everything. Guess its a good thing that I want to do everything but It is all so easy even on Normal as a result. Love the ability to listen to old FF soundtracks. Man with the Machine Gun cranked up on the radio out of a cutscene was a highlight so far. The story is pure nonsense and told so poorly, it is really hard to care about what is going on with the story here. While some of that sounded kinda negative I am having a lot of fun with the game.

Just started. Got to the first port area at nighttime and there were graphical glitches...

Running on ps4pro at high resolution mode. Lots of artifacting and then the water from the sea was flashing yellow.

Anyone else experienced this? I streamed my session on twitch so i think i can clip a vid of it .

Dumb question but do you have to slot new techs you unlock somewhere?

Or does regroup require a special condition to show up?

I did like 15 side quests but didn't deliver them to complete the quest lol.

My lvl is 20 I think and story recommends 19, so I guess I won't deliver them anytime soon.

I legit fucking teared up and choked up when going through the photo album. It's why I would recommend to anyone to savor the first half and save a lot of photos.

I liked them alot

Except 13. Fuck that chapter.
Click to expand...

Funny enough imo
I think the linear section starts to get good at Chapter 13. Chapter 10-12 can be done in 30 minutes all together and they're pretty much the definition of filler besides the Astral scene.

You need to slot them in under the item equips menu. You can only have one equipped at once, so you either get regroup or the mark throw.

I really like this game, I have to admit. The world they've created is incredibly compelling in a way that I didn't expect in terms of atmosphere, sense of scale etc. It just feels fantastic to explore.

...and I was ready to write it off because I really dislike the worlds in The Witcher 3, Skyrim and Dragon Age DA. That type of environment isn't interesting to me at all for some reason, even though people seem to love those games.

Just finished the game and it was awesome!

Only took me 23 hours ... this is the fastest I finished a final fantasy game but also one where o had the most fun!

Spoilers:
the game really took of from chapter 9 the fight against the Leviathan was awesome! After that it went really fast till the end.
Really loved the end fight
I hope I don't break some rules with the spoiler tag D:

Also what is the frame pacing issue? I played it on PS4 and except some stutters it was all good.

Also ending:
I choose the picture before heading to Altissa

Did anyone order the Best Buy exclusive edition from BB during that pricing error? I did, went and picked it up. Says the season pass should be on the receipt. However, they didn't give me a printed receipt just an online pickup confirmation. How do I get my season pass code? I'd assume email, but I didn't receive one.

About the ending

only noctis died right?
Click to expand...

everyone did. The bros, Noctis, Luna, Ardyn, all of Insomnia, a good portion of the world population, but because of the sacrifice of the bros, the age of humans can begin without magic, and they can rebuild

I feel the same. Glad to see someone who agrees with me over the world. Even if it is not as larger as some of these games, it is well made and carefully designed, which makes it all the more fun to explore and discover.

Is anyone else having trouble with getting the monster to spawn for the hunt "Raindrops in the Night"? Tried several times and watched videos and it just isn't appearing where it should be.

Its the HR 2
jumbo flan
hunt from Hammerhead for reference.

Edit: yes I went at night.

I'm 23 hours in. I'm on chapter 3 and still need to try out two dungeons before I head to the town. No idea how or why people are finishing the game in that time.

wow this game does not explain its story well at all. I have no idea what the hell has happened so i have to go back and watch kingsglaive.

........and after that its really hard to take noctis gang seriously when they are laughing, driving around and taking selfies...

I decided to sell my PS4 and PSVR last week, having waited 10 years for this game in one form or another. Starting to regret my decision reading through this thread! Guess I will wait for the potential PC version next year now.

So I skipped quite a bit of the side quests and have now started the main story, I have heard you can do them later again, but won't you outlevel them?

Maybe I'm an outlier here, but I never understood how FFXIII was so hard to understand, at least in the first half of the game. If you knew the basic premise, basically nothing should have been confusing. But the game explains what L'cie and Fal'Cie are throughout the game ... Start the game, and you're told that Fal'Cie brand L'cie and give them a mission. They also have magical powers. Progress and you see that Fal'Cie perform different tasks that keep Cocoon intact. Etc etc.

People moan about VIII and X being convoluted as well when they really weren't

The level requirements sometimes don't match the fights in them. You could still have challenging encounters in them.
