I don't know if it's come up here already, but how's the linearity in the late game? It's it FFX linear with things to do besides walk, open chests, fight enemies/bosses and watch cutscenes or (gag gag retch shoots self in face) FFXIII linear?

SPOILER for late game

The game does indeed become more linear later on, but there's still plenty to explore so it's not FF XIII linear and you can go back to the more open world segments. It only becomes super linear in the last two chapters which given that is the endgame is fair enough.

Is there any kind of warning or prompt, like before the final 2 chapters to let you know you've reached the point of no return absolute endgame? (I'm assuming there is of course)

These are very light spoilers IMO.

There isn't really a need for one. You can go back to the open world and do sidequests from Chapter 9 onwards and there is some stuff that becomes available in the postgame. If you want to know what the final two chapters are, they are Chapter 14 and 15.

My wife and I may have bought a PS4Pro largely because of this and that may or may not have pushed us to splash out on an expensive 4K HDR TV.

An entirely new entertainment center (upgraded TV, receiver, and actual speakers) is on the bottom of the list of things we have for the new place.

I'm jaded as gently caress about most video games and know everything from the spoilers but I'll still considering making time to play this game if my brother buys it for himself even though it takes half hour to get to his house to use his PS4.

It aught to be alright.

I am prepared to call this game garbage if the clothing options only lie along the gradient from black to white. Fashion is the most important thing and they had better not mess it up.

Seriously I want a lot of outfits.

Not just nice fashion wear either, I want weird uniforms and mechanics overalls and various Village People costumes.

In a surprising turn of events, we'll find that all of the team's outfits have been designed over the past few years by Kubo Tite, which explains why Bleach has really gone to poo poo in that same time frame :v:

It is stupid. Japanese is actually simpler to figure out pronunciation for than English, the vowels follow rules and don't really surprise you. "Cho-koh-boh"

Doing Judgment again; the game autosaves after big things yes, but by modern standards consider it something that doesn't autosave. Make a post-it note and prevent sadness.

New sidequests starring Gladiolus, Prompto and Ignus where you can actually play as them in battle as well as online co-op mode where you and 3 other bros can play together I believe.

So do any of the mobile games have any effect on the real game? Any in-game bonuses to unlock that I should be grinding for? Or are they purely "fun" (for a given definition of "fun")?

There aren't really many prevalent performance reports coming out of these leaks so far so the most relevant stuff is still really the Judgement Disk.

So preordering from Sony nets you:

angler dlc
16bit car dlc
masamune dlc

but preordering from amazon nets you

masamune dlc
gold chocobo car dlc

BUT WAIT, do a really quick flash game and you also get

Travel Pack, Camera Kit, and Gourmand Set. and Mage Mashers from Final Fantasy IX, The Blazefire Saber from Final Fantasy XIII, and the Gae Bolg Spear from Final Fantasy XIV

preordering from squeenix:

royal rainment
masamune
platinum leviathan car

.....why is this so loving difficult to just have a complete collection...

Preorder from Amazon because if you have Prime it's the cheapest of the available outlets, and who gives a poo poo about these preorder bonuses that they will definitely put up as purchasable DLC in a month or two.

I walked into GAME, put a fiver down on it and apparently I get a Streets-of-Rage-style side scrolling beat em up game as a preorder bonus. That seems so much better than all the dumb weapons and car skins.

I said I wouldn't, and I tried really hard, but I caved in and started watching some streams of the game. I have to say, the highlight is the character interaction between the four friends. It's excellent.

Figure that's the least we can hope for. I'm torn between picking up a copy on the way home from work or preloading it on PS4.

The online place I usually get stuff from tends to send things out early to make sure it's here for launch and they tend to super err on the side of caution when it comes to Tuesday releases so I'm hoping I might get it Saturday.
