So this was always a day one purchase for me, but it was pushed back due to some unforeseen expenses. That demo, which should not exist in its current form, also turned me off a bit. Still, I'd check this thread multiple times per day, and trusted GAF's positive impressions.
Finally picked it up yesterday, and I'm so glad I did. Everything about this game is great, including its art style, voice acting, gameplay and soundtrack. I've already put seven hours into the game, and I actually plan on finishing this one. Looking forward to checking out the online arena as well.
My girlfriend has also taken some interest in it, mostly due to its art style, and I may teach her to play her first JRPG. I think it's a great starting point for those looking to get into the genre.

I don't know if a game that's all about referencing the other Final Fantasy games would be a great starting point

Which is better: the shortcut or full menu for the battle menu? I can't seem to grasp the shortcut menu.
Sadly no.

The remixed battle themes you get when you recruit the champions are awesome. You should check them out!

What the HOOOOONK?! @ This game's story. Did Kojima direct this game? I think he did.
Kojima stories (especially recently) may be bad, but they are a special kind of bad and just...bizarre.
Why is Lightning wearing her best outfit there but not in the game

So the whole "main story is over 100 hours long!" thing was just hype talk that they hoped people wouldn't latch onto, eh? 
The chances of catching them go up the more you use their imprism condition against them, you can tell by the white circle beneath them since it changes.

Just got it today and so far I'm really enjoying it. The game makes a very strong first impression. It's very pretty to look at and the english voice acting is solid so far.
I do find the stacking system and all the different mirages a bit overwhelming. With systems like these I always have the feeling I am missing something or leveling the wrong mirages (or stacking them the wrong way).
But I guess I will know soon enough if I do it wrong by getting destroyed by a boss or something.

The ones in the arena? You just
use a fire spell on Ifrit and an ice spell on shiva. You can put it into a more likely chance of capturing if you use a 2nd spell on them which you'll notice should change the aura around them for imprisming.
No kidding? I knew how to get a prismtunity for them both but didn't know you had to use the spells again to boost your odds! I thought it was just dependant on how much life they had left, like weakening a Pokemon.
Much appreciated!

I thought during development they said roughly 40 hours for story, 100 hours for everything.

Wow. I wish I'd know this two days ago. Thanks for the tip.

Tama said something about being able to cast Libra on Mirkrift cubes to see what was inside before entering, but I can't for the life of me figure out how.
Edit: Oooh. Just caught a cactrot on my first try. I get the feeling I'm lucky it didn't run.

Just touch them. If you have libra, the level of the enemy inside will pop up, before having you press X to hop inside.

It took me 23 hours for the story, 41% of mirages, probably around 120 chests, dabbling in a few interventions and coliseum fights and fast forwarding battles in the second half. The relatively short length compared to many 'full price' RPGs isn't so much a problem for me as that it at times seemed too long, with several dungeons in particular dragging on with copy-pasted maps. And yet, at the end, it made me want to try to get all the mirages. However, I will do so with a guide since I want to know what abilities to bring along.

Ooooh. I thought it would give like, a monster name too. Didn't realize the level isn't normally there.

So the Cactuar Conductor needs to be in every Final Fantasy from now on.
Or I'll take a Cranberry Knights game akin to Lost Vikings

Got the physical Vita version. Aside from some lower framerate in some areas it never becomes a problem and battles play great. Glad I made the right choice, since I can bring it with me I'll probably be able to finish it before XV launches.

Not a big deal, you can catch both those things (or Transfigurations of them) later or by repeating the dungeon (leave completely and return to respawn rares) or by doing a Coliseum battle.
To Transfigure a monster, you need to unlock a new Mirage Board or Transfiguration for them on their current Mirage Board (requires certain levels and/or Momento items), once those are unlocked then you may switch their form at any time when you're using the Prism Case by pushing Options while the Mirage is highlighted.
Since they keep any stat boosts or abilities without the fancy swirls around them, it is better to have a single Mirage explore every possible path than it is to nab a single Mirage of each type. (Though of course you should do that if you like having a "Living Pokédex".)
Momentos mean you can transfig them, so no, you aren't missing out on them.
Also field rares respawn.

Can anyone explain what just happened to me?
I have a Black Nakk that I was leveling the one square I unlocked said I unlocked the White Nakk Mirage board but.... I don't see it?

Check the transfig menu. You should now be able to switch to White Nakk, which is its own mirage board and evolution line. It's unnecessarily confusing.
Ahhhh I really love this game. Everything is so charming. The only disappointment I've had so far is the voice acting for
. It's really not what I expected at all.
I also need to decide if I should transfigure my White Nakk or hold off until I complete the whole board. With my Behemoth baby not being able to hit large until 25 there's not really a point in making Reynn or Lann lilikin to accomadate the large mirage.

I don't really understand capturing mirages. Apparently the window to capture them is limited once they enter a capture-able state? And it only lasts a few turns or something. This is particularly frustrating because there doesn't seem to be a way to get them back into capture state once they lose it.

Just redo the requirement. If they need to be healed, throw another heal on them.
Seems a lot of mirages can only enter capture state once per battle....that's a bummer.

soooo can someone explain the difference between unlocking a transfiguration and unlocking a mirage board?
Literally a few posts up.
TRANSFIG: direct evolution line, shared stats/skills/levels
MIRAGE BOARD: you can transfig to them but separate evolution line and mirage boards don't cross over. like cousins.

So I quite liked the combat in the demo, (stacking is interesting and I loved the Tidus summon) and decided to pick this up as I thought it would be a charming little RPG.
I started it up last night and after 3 hours I think I'm done with it. I still like the combat well enough. Capturing mirages, levelling them using and taking down stacks is good fun. Also much better after I realised you can set the classic menu as the standard menu.
The problem is characters, story and dialogue are really important to me and honestly they are absolutely insufferable here. Lann is especially dire with his "what the honk!" And saying "Dude" all the time. I understand this is most likely aimed at a younger audience but it seems insulting to their intelligence to be honest. I also find it hard to deal with the exaggerated animations the main characters make.
I just don't think I can go back to it

This isn't the greatest rpg or anything (battles are too slow even fast forwarded, the towns are too non-interactive, it's too linear in the main story, dungeons are just ok, you can get stuck in unwinnable battles that don't let you escape) but at least it's super cute and charming. I'm even used to the the thing. I like the characters, the graphics and music are nice, the story is basic but inoffensive......it's just a good, solid, fun fanservice game. I'm 17 hours in and deep into chapter 18. It's interesting to me how polarizing the characters and dialogue are, because if they were serious and dry, I would have dropped this game long ago. The parts with the cactuar conductor are the best.

Oh really? It's not the best I've ever seen by any stretch but it's fun enough just a little slow. You prefer the dialogue and story over the combat? Genuinely curious.
Dude.
Late game combat is kind of a snooze. They never really do much with stacking. All the bosses have 100% status immunity and only 3-4 attacks they use. Battles become exploit elemental weakness, heal, move on. Maybe the final coliseum rounds are different, but I'm at 60 and at the worst battles are just attrition.
was the worst.
Catching, mirage boards and transfig are much more fun.
