Ok, end of chapter 13 can someone please tell me what the fuck Ardyn said, the music smothered the whole goddamned thing. All I heard was
Lucis
so I guess he's of the
royal bloodline somehow but I've no fucking clue how
This is the worst story I've ever played.
 
Yes. You have to craft magic with a certain item. I'll put it in spoilers just in case
Combine Adamantite with Fire to get Flare, with Ice to get Freeze and with Thunder to get Electon.
. These are Limit Break spells.
To add to that, you can also combine
elements with Zu Beak to get those same limit break spells.

I really hate the imperial ambushes in this game.
Usually you just get the magitek soldiers and they are manageable but every now and then this machine comes out, don't know it's name, but the fucker is high levelled and one shots me. What the fuck....

Starting to get very annoying.

Does this game want to be FFVI?? Just reached the
time skip
. Yet to have it explained but at this stage I do not give a single fuck.

Who wrote this game because they have absolutely no ability for story-telling. I like the game but it has literally the worst story-telling I have every experienced, game or otherwise.

It was explained, you ignored it, and yes, it's the worst story every written, we get it
 
If you're planning to catch the hardest 3 it's better I guess, you can do it before that but it'll be a lot harder, it's still really hard with the best gear.

Ultimate target for endgame plan. I was talking about fishing once in a while in every spot. If I were to find a new one, I'd like to fish right away, not waiting for the best fishing gear on the later chapters.

Ha. The only positive I can say is it really makes me appreciate VI because this is all so shallow and meaningless.

The story as far as I can tell;

Let's go for a drive to meet my girlfriend
OK
Oh the empire invaded and my dad is dead, nevermind, let's drive round a bit
OK
Let's get a speedboat
Why
Dunno
OK
This Italy place is nice. Who's this blonde girl? Oh she's dead. Let's cut this big snake's fins off
Why are we on a train?
Let's look in this swamp?
Why?
Don't know.
We're being attacked!
Why?
Not sure?
Bye Prompto
This place is dark. Shame about my car.
Oh no there's a tanker, no way we could quickly climb over that.
This place is dark too. Let's walk slowly through it for 2 hours.
Hi guys, nice to see you, oh shit I'm in a crystal.
Bollocks, the world got rekt and all I managed was this shitty beard.

I know I'm being glib but that is literally how the story has played out for me. Like I said, I actually like the game, just kind of wish it just never bothered having a story (even though story is my favourite aspect of an RPG).

This game is begging for a survival mode (no fast travel, no save anywhere, food as a necessity, etc...).

Im really surprised they didn't implement a system like that. Here's hoping it will show up in the DLC.

Also are there any good combat guides...Im level 60 and in the post game and I still feel like I have no idea what im doing in some fights, particularly fights with all flying enemies (wasps).

Some gaf member was talking about how this game is just like 12.
Since 12 is the only 3d final fantasy i finished.

I decided to buy this game.
wish me luck.

oh and i bought it for 30,67 euro's on amazon.de after using a 10 euro discount code called WELKOM. (only for people with a dutch adres)

The japanese players were telling them the duscae demo was to hard lol.

But yes i absolutely agree with you, i want a hard mode.

hmm...not sure I would say it is at all like 12. Actually I wish it had the gambit system where you could program your allies.

FFXV's combat is good but not as fun as FFXII's.

I disagree on that. XII's combat bored me to sleep, while I always feel super engaged with XV's.

But to each it's own. :)

Heh I'm on other side of the fence. I didn't like XII combat I always thought it was boring and gambits make the game far too automated. XV is far better for me.

i knew the gambit system was missing .. (my fav part of 12)
But the hunts where in this game right?

So i really hope it will scratch this itch i have..

Kinda off topic but anyone feels that the multiplayer DLC there making is pointless and a waste of time? They could use that time to make something far more interesting like a full blown expansion. I don't think people buy FF or RPGs to play that kind of multiplayer.

You're literally oversimplifying everything. You can do that with every single story. If you didn't pay attention, that's your own fault. Sure, not everything is explained, but a lot is.

stop with the insane hyperbole.


I completely agree.
 
Finished it. Probably the biggest dissapointment I've had in a game for a long long time. The storytelling is a disaster.

35hs, 25 of those were all side quest. This falls just to Final Fantasy II tier.

Nice ending though.

...And the "best real time animations award" goes to Final Fantasy XV.

For some reason, i feel like the gaming community at large has kind of ignored how ridiculously good everything animates in this game.

Just watching how everything's individual muscle groups jiggle makes me so happy. The 60 FPS maxed out PC version of this game is going to be amazing.

Because it only looks this good on ps4 pro

I don't notice it that much while I'm playing because I'm so focused on the combat, but damn is it glorious.

Finished.

None that meant anything.

I have no idea what the fight was for at the end.

Worst FF by a mile. Why is it so difficult to make a coherent story?

Wish I'd just stayed in Lucis cruising about with my bros pretending my dad wasn't dead

w..whats stopping you?

Just load Chapter 15 and do that
 
You completely missed the point of that post.

The animations are exactly the same on every version.
Add some gaussian blur and lower resolution to the gif and thats what the xbox one version looks like.
Sure the animations are the same but it still doesnt look impressive
 
I am in Chapter 5 playing on PS4 Pro and I just statred getting red flashes flickering on parts of the screen. Seems like a graphics bug. Anybody else had this?
 
Those GIFs are crazy good. They have to be from PS4 Pro right? Are they edited at all?

I finished my first sealed dungeon earlier, the lowest level one, it was fine. I'm max level so I was clearly over powered. I hope there is some visual variety in the others but I'm not getting my hopes up. Also, I didn't like that in the dungeon
There were dead ends. They were short and didn't waste much time but if I'm going on a grinding quest I don't want to have to resort to guess work to get the right path. Especially where all of the rooms look the same and it's hard to tell where I've been.

This is what GIFs look liked cropped and supersampled from the Pro


God the future is glorious for mobile users watching this lol. It looks so bullshotty due to how clean it is on a smaller screen such as my phone


The animations in this game are absolutely the best this generation. I love how smooth the interactions and motions look.
 
This game is fucking good and I'm happy that it seems to be raising in popularity. I think once the dust has settle FFXV will be considered one of the best FFs of all time, possibly top 3. I have rarely seen a game fuck up so many things and end up so good and fun.

One things for sure, Square has re-ignited my excitement for the franchise, eagerly waiting what FFXVI is gonna be like.

I also hope the combat makes a "combat"-ck for the sequel. It soo good, it'll be a shame if they just dropped it.
