To wait mode or not to wait mode...

That's what I am debating right now. I messed around with it while waiting for the game to install and the constant interrupts in combat were kind of annoying. I see there is an ascension tree just for wait mode, so I wonder if that trivializes the game if you max that out.

So basically if the car warps with you at the first one, it's all gravy.

They should change that, yeah. I actually thought that that was how it was already.

Side note, you can also have the car towed to your location.



Their banter and their whole being together is part of 'narrative' though.

The car gets towed to Hammerhead for 100 gil......
 
I want to like Ignis but his constant "Not at night" thing is lame. The worst thing is I can't just skip it either. He has to look at me, stare for like a minute, say his thing, then give me a choice, then wait even more.

This happens in and out of combat. Out of combat - I'll look at a mining node or NPC and see the X prompt, but he'll just jump. Waiting a second with the prompt showing usually avoids this. In combat - I'll look at a warp point to rest, and instead of warping there, he'll just warp in the direction on the ground.

It's really ruining my enjoyment of the game.

Just bumping this. Open to any ideas/suggestions

I meant the 'call car' option, my bad. It's still towed to your location if you choose 'Call car' though, so ayy

Yep they should make this cutscene skippable prompto.

Also don't use the heavy weapons so much because they offer huge windows for the enemies ot stagger you.
Click to expand...
Best use of heavy weapons I have found at low-level is to swap to them before doing a massive warpstrike then hitting once (since if done right it will stagger most enemies), and after swapping to to something else, like I dunno, tri-cast high-potency Thunder.
 
Shit, I just got the game, I'm playing the tutorial and there's a huge amount of overscan, I can barely see my hp on the bottom right and the mp is completely cut off. I adjusted as much as I could in the PS4 system settings but that doesn't change anything. My TV is super old and has no overscan options at all.

Any chance Square might patch this?
 
About early in the game:

It's weird how
the first boss is introduced. It's like he is sooo important and very well known, also he have a good design, almost like he belongs to one of the FFXII judges, and the only moment you see him is 3 seconds inside his magitec robot when you fight him and then he is just dust in the wind.

quoting myself again here because this exact series of events just put me through a solid five minutes of load times and I want to scream

Game's pretty good tho

As to your first statement, I feel like that has been 3 hours of my 9 played so far.

As to your second, I feel the first one negates it for me. How can an open world game get travelling so fucked up? And the choice to not let Noctis drive the car for the first two chapters was a source of constant frustration and confusion for me as well. Or the fact that you often just can't "call car" etc - that those options are often greyed out. It's so frustrating.

Thank fuck I've got Chocobos now or the whole travelling issue would have me considering quitting.

Also bears saying just how poor the map is. Ugly, too.

What I do is a role play that before interacting with anything Noct lets out a little leap of excitement. That's how I deal with that.

I was reminded of the unimportant FFXIII villains. Except this dude died even quicker.

For first one there isn't much to do. For second, you need to hold down triangle if you want to warp to rest points. The game doesn't telegraph this clearly.

That's pretty much every character and plot point in the game
 
Still in chapter 1, but should I be able to "make" spells yet? I feel really dumb, but I spent 20 minutes trying to make an ice spell and I can't get it to confirm. I have all of the parts or least I think I do.

Click to expand...

Sure, I guess. But I don't care about what happens, I don't care about the plot. I'm not playing to "see what happens." I'm playing to fight monsters. You could say that daemons are part of the plot, but that doesn't matter to me, only that they look cool and are fun to fight.

Even if the overall plot is awful, that won't affect how fun the 4 characters are to watch interact while running around Eos.

I'm still in ch1 and I can call the car. You just have to be on the road, not on dirt.
 
This game....

This fucking game.

Honestly, I didn't think I'll like the game but holy fucking shit this is quickly becoming one of my fav games. I realized this when I had 13 hrs of gameplay in one sitting !

idk where to start, the combat? Great, and am getting better at it by the moment. The Music? holy shit the music is just a masterpiece.

Everything about this game just hits the right spot for me so far, I'm having a blast and I've finished only 5 chapters.

Got the coolass steelbook too.

I'm enjoying this a hell of a lot more than I thought I would. The flare of usual FFs seems gone, but the combat is so good. Just such a weird start. That cinematic and then dropping you into the game the way it does. Also, it's so weird getting no story whatsoever to explain why Noctis can do what he does so far.

Still, like I said, enjoying it a lot.

They show them as it takes place in relation to the game's timeline. Game starts before Kingsglaive.
Click to expand...

Technically Kingsglaive begins before the bro's leave for their trip, and they leave after Ardyn has brought the peace deal to the table :p
At one point in the movie Drautos says they took Noctis out of the city, we just didn't see it happen in the movie.

Oh definitely. A lot of people think plot is everything though, completely underestimating the value of how 'the journey' (dialogue, banter, bonding, the characters you meet, etc.) factors into what we perceive as story or narrative.

In FF15, you could argue the journey is the plot/story, and your enjoyment of the characters and their rapport is a clear sign of its quality.
 
I'm kind of glad I'm going to be waiting for the December Pro patch before starting the game.

It kind of reminds me of an Elder Scrolls/Skyrim situation, where I didn't play the game until 3-4 months after launch, and a number of the initial concerns with the game were already addressed.
 
So I finished the story (about 30 hours) and I loved it.

For those who are starting or haven't started yet I would recommend one thing:

TAKE. YOUR. TIME.

Seriously. So much of the world is trickled out in the exploration you can do in the first 8 chapters. It's fantastic and there is so much out there that the main story doesn't expose you to.

I am going to start a new game and do as much as I possibly can before setting out to
Altissia. Once you do this the game is pretty much one long sequence to the end despite being in a few different locations.

Got 10k gil? Stay at the beach resort for 2x EXP :p

After installing the Amazon Road Trip DLC, it's been knocked down to 5k for me. Between that and the free unlimited stamina pizza, the DLC seems pretty damn useful. Too bad I'm already finished with the story lol

Prompto's DLC camera sucks though (gives a blueish tint to everything).

Edit: Whoa there's a 3x place too? :O

You could, but that would probably look bad. There's already dissonance between what's happening in the plot and how the characters act. The road trip part so far doesn't affect the banter. They're all pretty upbeat while terrible things are happening around them, but that's not how they act in cutscenes. I'm only in chapter 6, so maybe that changes later. Right now the road trip aspect doesn't mesh with the reclaim your throne plot.
 
For people that want to know when Episode Gladio, Ignis and Prompto will take place when the Season Pass DLCs release, spoilers, obviously:

GLADIO: He asks you for some time to deal with stuff of his own and you meet him again after recovering a royal weapon from a Tomb, in the Generator in Lestlallum as the mistery hunter. He then reveals himself and shows you he has new scars. this will be his DLC.

IGNIS: The events during the Leviathan fight, in which he goes blind.

PROMPTO: The events after being thrown off the train by Noctis near the end of the game.

I use heavy weapons too but I've truly gotten gud tbh. That poster was having trouble with the fights so better stick to tactics that are easy to execute until you get the hang of it.
