The quests are super easy to solve because there's always a map icon to follow. The big thing I missed with not knowing the translation is that you can pick up hunting quests at the restaurants, and talking to the restaurant host will put icons on your map.

There are three dungeons in the demo area, all locked off but something to keep in mind for the actual game
I heard talk of people glitching into these dungeons but none of them gave a lot of details so it might just be talk.

Apparently this is true, people glitched into the Naga dungeon.

Not sure what the actual method of clipping on top of the nearby mountain is, but there are other videos floating around of people fighting enemies in the dungeon.

So is there a command to tell your buddies to get the gently caress out of the way, or do you just have to accept that you are going to nuke them basically every time you use magic? I want to cast cool and powerful spells but I don't want to microwave my bros. :ohdear: At least they don't seem to hold it against you, despite it sounding unbelievably painful every time you inevitably electrocute/immolate/freeze them to death.

You could use one of Ignis's techniques, which pulls every character to him and heals the party.

So, let's say you don't speak or read a lick of Japanese beyond so desu ka (and don't even know the kanji for that) -- is the demo completely inaccessible? How're the folks who can't read Japanese navigating their way through it?

Most of it is very visual, you can just feel your way through it. I can't figure out how to have Noctis drive the car, how to make any magic except BIG 'SPLOSION! and there might be little side quests from citizens I'm missing but it's totally playable.

The only things I'd point out are:
-You talk to the chef in diners to get bounty quests.
-In the second little town there's a quest to kill these little hobgoblin things, they only come out at night.
-Noctis can use any weapon so it's worth buying extras of each to play around with.
-Even if Ignis is driving to a specific location you can still just tell him what to do, also you can park anywhere by pressing circle.

There are no hoops. You create the account right on your PS4 and click a link in an email.

Here's how to create a Japanese PSN ID in 60 seconds - if you don't have time to make one, you don't have time to play the demo.

I made one back in the PS3 days but I no longer remember the login details, any idea how I can retrieve those? I tried going to the JP website to look for a "lost my password" option, but clicking the login link there just redirects me back to the UK site

NO MERCY, ONLY PAIN :black101:
So people are saying the combat in this game is reminiscent of witcher 3 which is really good cuz i really enjoyed the combat in that game

My only real worry is this game being too anime, but I guess witcher 3 is pretty much the western equivalent of anime and it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the game too much
