Actually how do chocobos work? I thought about it slightly more and it's my main FFXV concern. You rent them for some days and can ride them around and park them wherever, right?

I've been playing FFVI while waiting for XV to come out and quite frankly based on this experience XV feels like a Final Fantasy game in everything but the gameplay which I don't feel like is an unacceptable departure at all.

I think I'll play as usual, rent chocobos from Duscae, then go back and use them to clear up stuff in the first zone until feeling satisfied. I wanna bulk up unless there's an NG+ that will want me to do that sort of grind.DrakePegasus posted:Every Final Fantasy is different. No two Final Fantasies are not the worst.

There are more and more legit spoilers around now, and I don't know if it's gone and I shan't be detailing it here, but there was an either hilariously bad or hilariously malicious attempt "disguising" a spoiler on a GameFAQS thread title, so definitely don't go into that neck of the woods!

The game does not auto-save. The full game that is. Some streamer rage-quit on finding that out, he was late chapter 2, died, got back at the start of the chapter. e: Odd. I don't remember the demo auto-saving because I'm used to doing it manually, but it's best to run manual saves always. Now I'll stop peeking into the ff15 spoiler thread on gaf. Let's only go black bars when the real release is here. Ghosts n Gopniks fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Nov 20, 2016 |

Considering the demo does auto-save I guess that's what you get playing games before day one patches these days.

The game should save at "discrete story milestones or when your party rests (such as even you make camp)." Still, anyone who's ever played an RPG before ought to know to make multiple saves and save often. I wouldn't trust any RPG to auto-save because of how many things tend to be missable in an RPG and how you might decide to tackle something entirely differently with a little foreknowledge.

I would imagine that he'd fallen prey of a particularly nasty little bug but for the love of Lightning, always hard save when you have finished playing for the mean time regardless of the game should the option be available, even if you leave your game and console running.

Someone on 4chan from Peru posted screens from their own game and confirmed major plot elements. I'm not sure about streams at all. There's definitely some new stuff out there, be it locations, grabs of existing parts or otherwise.

Is there such a thing as the Final Fantasy cycle yet akin to the Zelda cycle? Because some of the leaked spoilers have made people completely flip out and declare Final Fantasy XIII a much better game when they hated it before. The spoilers themselves aren't even that bad and are completely out of context and you can make any of the previous games sound lovely if you spoil them without context.

I have a short memory, but I think this is really the first time I remember where a mainline FF hasn't been a monster hype machine everyone's looking forward to and everyone is going to love before it hit. XIII getting a poo poo rep is probably the main contributor to it. Might be a state of gaming as a whole but it certainly seems that you've got more people laughing at innocuous things, already hashing out their effort posts about just how -ist it is for others. It's a social media world, everyone has the right and need to pipe up. Josuke Higashikata fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Nov 20, 2016 |

There absolutely is a Final Fantasy cycle. It's hard to remember but almost every time a new FF game comes out it's called terrible and awful. FFIX and FFX both were considered jokes and people loved making fun of how 'lovely' they were at the time. FFIX basically got Wind Wakered ("Why is it so cartoony") and FFX having voice acting/a crazy plot/ect meant it was the butt of jokes for a while.

Games part of a long franchise often find themselves only as good as the last one people played and for a lot that was FF13, which still manages to make people so frothing mad that they actively want anything with the FF name in it to fail, if not S-E as a whole.

I want to invent a way that collects every post on the intermet that's mad about FF13 and then reveals if they've actually played it yet and see what the true number is. Part of me still thinks it's still at least partly because of what they've been told. And this magic method also makes these posters appreciate Lightning.

Tae posted:I'm getting reminded again that people are very bad at anything remotely actiony Easy mode also removes all the teeth from the game. Like we've seen some cases in the demo were people were taking down level 39 mobs on easy mode and get dunked on mercilessly by a level 15 mob while they were 5 in the normal version.

Reviewers and fandom are on opposite sides a lot of the times. Look at FF13 or Devil May Cry reboot which the reviewers raved about it and the fandom loathed it. Hell, the director of Zelda said the reason why Twilight Princess looked the way it did was because of the fan backlash from the "Celda" look of windwaker.

Yeah even though reviewers loved IX, people really did hate it at the time and it didn't sell overly well either. It became more of a cult classic than anything over the years, possibly by people who played it at the time and hated it but are now nostalgic for it without ever replaying it because battles are a tremendous slog in that game unless you're playing the Steam version. I can't remember, but did people freak out as much about VII when that came out? Or were the naysayers who played the previous games drowned out by the praise from others who were introduced to the series with VII? I was a bit too young to remember. I think the biggest problem with XV is that it's seen as being in development for more than 10 years and therefore it has to be the most awesome game ever when that's really unfair as development didn't really start until 2012 and everything before then was mostly Nomura faffing around and changing his mind constantly on the game design, even wanting to make Versus XIII a musical at one point. It may honestly have been better if they did what they did with Stella/Luna and just completely change the characters and ditch all elements of Versus XIII completely. That way people wouldn't have such stupidly inflated expectations and willing to call it a failure and the worst game ever because the LOD doesn't look great for a PS4 game or because of one out of context spoiler.

Windwaker and FF9 are I think the biggest examples in games of fan communities initially being negative but coming to really love them over time. There were plenty of people who loved them at release (I had a friend who didn't love Windwaker from day one and spent every night defending it online, and I loved FF9 from day one myself) but both had a major change in perception that outlasted the initial wave of hate.

Drinking game: One chug every time you see a review containing "10 years in the making" I'm pretty sure the main reason why ff9 didn't sell as well was because it released close to or after the ps2. It was one of those super late bloomers, and FFX was like only a year later.

It also helps that Greatest Hits FF7 and FF8 could be bought for $10 at nearly every video game retailer during the years 2000-2001, which is where a huge chunk of their sales came from, whereas FF9 was a full-priced title that wasn't released in the US until after the PS2 launched. FF7 and FF8 plus strategy guides cost me as much as just the copy of FF9 when I got my PSone. I guess I just hung out in a different circle than y'all because everyone I hung out with or talked to online loved it. Sorry to derail the thread. I forgot there's a general FF thread.

Tae posted:Drinking game: One chug every time you see a review containing "10 years in the making" That's definitely part of it, but not the whole reason. People honestly saw IX as a step backwards after VII and VIII and found it to be pointless homaging the older games. Sakurazuka posted:People freaked out about FF7, especially Square's 'betrayal' of switching from Nintendo to Sony. Ah right. I kind of missed on that since I was a Sega kid who then switched to Sony during that time and never paid that much attention to Nintendo affairs and VII was my first Final Fantasy game.

I actually recall FF9 being one of the very few PS1 games (as in I can't think of a second example) that cost £39.99 in the UK. Amongst me and my friends this meant it had to be amazing and worth saving for.

That's probably the first real boss I've seen, and man wow. The music and things that are involved outside of fighting the boss is absurdly cool. It's like FF14 boss design with DMC movement.
