Er, no it isn't. You're correct that it isn't a matter of saving the world
until the end
Dragon Age: Inquisition is a much better example, since the main goal is a general "foil Corypheus and win the war against him" thing and almost everything you do in the zones contributes to that in some way through building the Inquisition or killing bad dudes.
I could taste test for ya.

I'm at the early part of Chapter
, and played through to the first couple check points. This is what everybody's been bitching about? Does it get worse or something? I realize the gameplay for this section is different, but it seems fine to me.

It has a somewhat survival horror atmosphere to it, which seems appropriate given the story.
RE:W3 & Urgency,Ciri is several orders more powerful than Geralt & the point wasn't really to find her in order to save her or anything like that.
Its more like Geralt doing slow,methodical globe spanning detective work to uncover wtf is going on with her.
Anyway.W3 & FFXV are incomparable in quality.So whatever.

It actually gets better. I mean, it does last probably a bit too long for what it is, but it's very appropriate for the story at that point and I think comes together quite nicely at the end. If you don't hate it right off the bat you probably won't end up thinking it's the worst thing ever.
I have missed the part where they say throughout the coming year.
I guess I will have to deal with chapter

No way I'm waiting, and who knows, maybe people are being hyperbolic about it.
Also, is it me or has SE gone radio silent on the December 60fps pro patch?

There's some hyperbole in there for some,some that genuinely don't like it but also it's just a lil too long thsts the main problem

Finally managed to start playing last night. Gaddamn them graphics.
BENZY!
You also got the awesome suit!We know there is a DLC coming out for each Bro. There's also going to be a Co-op DLC. We have no idea what is actually going to be in these.
Magic is already really useful. You can make some encounters really easy with magic.
I doubt they will add a gambit system. Someone brought up a good point on one of these threads. If you avoid taking damage as noctis, your party members will be better at avoiding attacks. For example, on Iron and Red Giants, when they do the unphaseable ground pound, if you dodge, the Bros will also dodge. This isn't for every monster/boss though and there really isn't a way to tell when they will follow your lead and dodge.

I've only seen Ramuh in battle so far (and I only just realised i've been pronouncing it wrong all this time, I thought it was Ramoo not Rama), and it was glorious. I love how they have implemented them. If only Titan would get off his arse and come help that would be great. I also like Leviathon because she is a bit sassy.

Titan can be summoned in some places on the map.
I felt the same way. I actually liked it the whole way through.
Still even with witcher 3, Geralt is obviously concerned, but also makes it very apparent constantly that ciri can handle herself. This isn't a "Jason!?" Heavy Rain dilemma where the brakes are hit on fucking everything and holy-shit-I-have-to-find-Ciri-omg-omg-omg moment. Never felt any abandonment issues spending time playing gwent or doing an optional hunt while tackling the mystery of Ciris dissapearance. It's a mystery he is unraveling more so than a rescue(until much later).

lol Magic is pretty crazy in this game, cant remember the last time it could get as broken as in XV. I've currently only gotten the "+30 potency" ascension upgrade and it doesn't take too much much to make magic hit for 9999.
Go down the list and find an item that either increases the potency by alot, or adds a really good effect (Quintcast, Stop, Death, ect). Laser Sensors and Dynamo add alot of potency. Reflex Enhancers and Magitek Boosters both give really high-lvl Quintcast. The beautiful thing about magic in this game is that you can compensate with raw power by just tossing in a really good item effect.
Also, mind your equipment. Aside from accessories, there's one Royal Arm in particular that gives you an insane boost in Magic.
Edit:
Speaking of which...did anyone actually pay attention to the way your equipped weapons alter your stats? I paid the system NO attention until after I had beaten the game and was just trying to create interesting combos. The Royal Arms really started feeling like short boosts of power that fell off very rapidly after you obtained them, but I never really paid attention to the stat boosts you get from simply equipping them.
It was a surprise, and it really adds alot to equipment in this game, with the right combos you can damn near give yourself stat boosts rivaling restaurant meals, not to mention that some Royal Arms actually give you stat boosts for doing certain moves.
Royal Arms are probably going to be a big part of challenge playthroughs.

I just discovered Leirity Seaside, man this game has some beautiful scenery. I feel like it doesn't get enough praise!
Yea there are some awesome spots, but there are also some spots that look really bad at the right time of day.
I don't think i'll ever get sick of the view over looking Duscae from Lestallum.
They have some impeccable roads though, not a single pot hole in the land.

100 hours in, I just turned on wait mode. It doesn't change much but it makes it way easier to trigger the Armiger attack.
Finally managed to start playing last night. Gaddamn them graphics.
Nice shots...yeah the graphics are great,I hope we still get the Pro update patch soon as well,they said mid December.
Different games pronounce his name differently (at least in English). It's pronounced "Ramoo" in FFXIV for example.

Tabata doesn't seem to care much for magic. Both Type-0 and XV had very basic types, and I think Crisis Core too but it's been a while. It's a shame because I think the fire/blizzard/thunder triangle is rather stale.
I don't understand why we don't have FF traditional magic in the game, You know what i mean the magic that was always in FF games.
Protect / cure / haste / despell / fire 1 fire 2... etc
i love the game but still want the my FF magic

Finally done with the damn Pitioss dungeon. What a pain in the ass. Really should have forced myself to do it. Even with a video took me over 4 hours with how hard the
was fine with with these controls and camera. At least I got the
and
I guess.
Not sure how much more post game content I'll do now that that's done and I got all the kings arms yesterday after slogging through Costlemark. Really don't feel like hassling with that 1-2 hour slogfest boss or leveling fishing to ten. Probably can't get the platinum anyway since my 40 side quest trophy seems to have glitched as I have the 80 quest one but not it.

Thanks. Yeah, hopefully they fix the framepacing issues with that patch too.

I'm at chapter 14 and i find this magic system is only good for fight opening, Why would i bother with crafting and getting rare items to craft higher level spells while normal physical attacks can do same or even more dmg.
yea you can only land it on roads. The only thing I have found the type F good for, is flying from Leide to Cleigne and to get access to the secret dungeon.
Magic is actually pretty worthwhile. You need AP traits though to really make it shine.

Chapter 10 question:
Can someone give me a hint how to defeat Malboro? Because I can't figure it out....

There's gotta be a method of earning gil that isn't as boring as Justice Monsters Five, right? This is awful.
Huh? Magic does way more damage than physical attacks in my experience.
I take it you're not running to the floating arrow when it tells you to flee?
Got an weird question, did they change the battle theme?
I had not touched this game since TLG came out, so I was wondering if they either patched new music or is there rotating battle themes that I never noticed. The theme I'm referring to is "Stand Your Ground." Was doing some side quests/hunts and heard different music during the fights.
Edit: Nvm, remembered there's daytime/nighttime music.

Themes change based on the time of day, the area you're in and the type of enemy.
Cleigne sets the bar as best battle theme in my opinion.
I've just been monster gambling for gil. I also am doing it for fishing stuff though.

Does that mean the death of the traditional FF magic system ? I surely hopes not.
Ah, didn't know there's different ones for enemy types. Neat!
Thanks. A little limited but...
I'm surprised they let you
fly over the map, you can really see how there's unfinished parts and some rough locking areas.
Lots of optional dungeons

Well, I finished it a little earlier tonight and have to say I really enjoyed myself. It's flawed but it's got a lot going for it.
The weird mishmash of Japanese and Western design sensibilities was oddly endearing.
Chapter 13 was an abomination - and it came after my favourite three or fours hours of the game, but it got back on track shortly after and ended strongly.
Considering it was my first real Final Fantasy experience - I dabbled with VII as a youngster but barely played it - I couldn't be happier with how it went.
While the open-world had it's merits, I actually think it was a stronger game when it became a little more linear.
