ohh ok, so just the (subpar) side quests and and hunts? thats it? Any bosses/monsters that I would not normally see? I guess the hunt is what would have the monsters....

Nope, there's more. Once you reach the end game, 8 more dungeons open up, with high level enemies and the best weapons in the game. Additionally, there's a boss that you can only fight after completing the story (MX-Angelus-X), which drops the best accessory in the game at the moment.

 

[Minamu]

Is there a list somewhere of which fishes can be caught at each spot?

 

[Mesharey]

Dunno, but which one do you want?
Unless you want to catch all then dunno.

 

[Majmun]

Noctis is such a likeable guy. I thought he would be a stuck up emo prince judging by his looks. But he's really nice. I like him.

The whole cast is good. I'm glad i watched the Brotherhood.

I'm still at chapter 7 and the story is a mess and basically non-existant. Such a shame. I'd love the characters even more if they'd be more involved in an amazing story...

 

[RustyNails]

Is there a way to get FFX-2 soundtrack for Regalia?

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

This game is truly gorgepus (some areas look a bit simple but still ok) , and despite framepacing i think it looks "smoother" than Bloodborne, the last one i played, it was more noticeable there.

Played it again today, framerates is very unsteady, obviously.

It kind of shoves most of the story in the last 1/3 of the game or so. Kind of an odd development choice.

I don't think it was a choice.

999 ap nodes

why

 

[cj_iwakura]

Only if you ignore it for too long. I'm fishing on every spot I find, and I'm halfway through 9. If there's any grinding left for post game, it'll be fairly quick.

Just got Ignis to 10, too, only Noctis left.



She is, lmao. It's so cute.

And yet (Chapter 14)

Spoiler

When she has a legit shot at the throne, she's nowhere to be seen. Wasted opportunity.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

999 ap nodes

why

I think they realized they fucked up with AP, thats why they gave us the free AP earning accessories.

But yeah, thats way too much.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Despite enjoying the journey as a whole, a few things I feel the game absolutely should have done in the endgame:

Spoiler

-Have Ardyn with a final form that requires the whole party to take him on, like a massive daemon that you can attack different areas of.
-Make the World of Ruin interactive, at least somewhat.
-The Citadel should have been a massive dungeon that you had to scale, not one simple elevator ride. Think the final dungeon in Nocturne or Digital Devil Saga.
-WHERE ARE CINDY AND IRIS!? Wasted, wasted opportunity.

If they'd done those things, the endgame would've been truly great.

 

[Acrylic7]

Is this game not full screen or something?
Iv been playing for 30+ hours but I'm just now noticing that my game isn't in full screen mode.

Try filling the screen with the arrows on your Ps4's display menu.

I had the same issue after the latest patch.

 

[cj_iwakura]

What's that long instrumental that plays in the fields that sounds like it was ripped straight out of The Witcher? (In a good way)


Ah, Wanderlust. Figured.

 

[stray_moogle]

If deathgaze attacked you while flying on the regalia type-f and listening to FFVI's airship theme, that would be the greatest Easter egg ever.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Even after all the complaints I'd read, I didn't think Chapter 13 would be this bad. Ah well, I've enjoyed it up to this point.

 

[yunbuns]

Is there a way to get FFX-2 soundtrack for Regalia?

No, which is a travesty.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

How do people dislike the combat?

 

[UrbanRats]

Finished the game.

Spoiler

Not sure what the fuck that was, but it didnt really feel earned to me.

How do people dislike the combat?

I find it confusing and lacking in control of the party, to a fault.

 

[massoluk]

How do people dislike the combat?

Camera for one, the fact that your mates are dumb for two.

 

[BriGuy]

How do people dislike the combat?

For all its glitz and glamour, you can get surprisingly far by just holding down circle and pressing square when prompted or when an enemy looks like it's rearing up for an attack. You can change weapons and lob spells for extra panache, or you could not. It doesn't matter a whole heck of a lot. I got the Ultima blade really early on and stocked the rest of my slots with royal arms for the stat boosts. There was no reason to use them. And as long as you have enough potions, you're more or less guaranteed to win anyway.

I like the game. I'm level 99 and mopping up end game content. But the battle system isn't particularly deep.

 

[Jon Arbuckle]

Camera for one, the fact that your mates are dumb for two.

I found this particularly frustrating when using pistols. Ignis would constantly run up to me and just stare at me while blocking my shots. Stupid AI decisions can make some fights unbearable.

 

[freeofgreed]

Ugh last trophy I need for the platinum is to max out fishing. I've been dreading this since I started, and yeah it sucks just as much as I thought it would :/

 

[Ingeniero]

I finally decided to try Costlemark Tower and it wasn't that bad, I was kicking ass.
The thing is, I run out of time in rl, had a plane to catch.

I did retrieve the gem for Dino and fought 2 Nagaranis.... but didn't get to the big boss.

I activated 4 platforms.... the question is, when I enter again tomorrow I have to do everything again? Or those platforms will be open already?

The SW platform will be open which is the one you want. About half way down you will have the choice to go east or south, go EAST.

yeah. The last chapter felt kinda empty and could've used more. I might've been overpowered, but it was finally too easy and short

 

[ranmafan]

I'm stuck on fishing and survival. Fishing is easy......survival I might just have to do a rubber band trick and switch the channel to something else for an hour or two

That's the one thing keeping me from the platinum as well, that darn survival trophy. I'm so close but it takes so much time to build up its level. At the rate I'm going I'll probably finally get it tomorrow. I love this game a whole lot, but I really hate that one trophy.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I really didn't mind fishing much, especially when you take on the later ones.

 

[Laughing Banana]

Is there a list somewhere of which fishes can be caught at each spot?

[ArkhamFantasy]

Alot of people are making the mistake of neglecting fishing, i was doing it consistently throughout the game so it was never a grind for me.

 

[VeteranGamer]

The shiny things you find on the ground, is it possible to collect them all or are they always replenishing?

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

I haven't done Navyth's 3rd quest so I may live to regret this hubris, but the fishing clicked me once I stopped over reeling. Short bursts of R2 until the tension indicator appears on screen (and when it's still white), while concentrating on pushing the rod in the right direction seemed to considerably improving my fishing results.

yeah, just tapping the button worked wonders with me.

 

[FHIZ]

Did the last PS4 patch do something with HDR? I feel like prior I could look towards the sun and differentiate the actual sun from all the other light, and on SDR it look like one glaring light. Now it all looks the same and the color of the sky also looks the same on both HDR and SDR.

 

[RustyNails]

No, which is a travesty.

I so wanted to put Return to Zanarkand on repeat. Goddamit Squeenix.

I felt the same way. How do you leave THAT out of a roadtrip game!?

It feels like they made the open world area so fantastic(and it was) that they had no time for anything else but to rush the story to conclusion.

At least they managed that, just with some serious, SERIOUS corner cutting. I'm glad it wasn't

Spoiler

a damn cliffhanger. The story ends, for better or for worse.

It's super annoying that some of the best recipes in the game require fishing for specific fish, tbh.

Yeah, it definitely gave me similar vibes to Mass Effect 3's endgame, though it was done a lot better in Final Fantasy XV (which isn't saying much)

Sounds like good incentive to me.

 

[shysaursoft]

Its the way Noc controls. Like he would land on a platform and proceed to take 2 steps forward for no reason.

Tip: After jumping, attacking with certain weapons drops you down nicely without the roll. Like a heavy weapon will drop you down almost exactly where you are in the air, daggers will move you forward a good chunk (great for if you see you're going to miss the ledge), etc. Using the attack animation while in the air, you can fine-tune your landing perfectly.

The main character is fantastic, as are Prompto and Gladio. The only one I think is iffy is Ignis, but he grows on you.

The dub is worth it for Noctis. He nails every beat of that character so well.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

English has its ups and downs. The japanese audio is amazing but this is a game where you will miss alot of dialogue because you cant read and play at the same time.

You can always go back and change them up mid game though, so try them out.

Well, at least there's Movement in Green. Close enough for me!
Probably played it the most in Duscae.

Simple fix.

When you land, let go of the control stick. He won't move. When you want to position on a platform, just hold the walk button. He wont step more than he needs to.

This is why I say Pitoss felt more like a Tomb Raider game than the actual Tomb Raider reboots.
