At least that's impossible to do in the PAL version unless you use glitches and open the PS1 cover because the PAL version runs 17.5% slower!

Exactly, Dragon Quest VII and Alien Isolation are the best games ever because of how long they are. Discounting MMOs of course. Then Final Fantasy XI and XIV are the best games ever because they're endless until the servers shut down.

If you think *that's* bad, you should see the insane people that go for 100% completion and Excalibur II. It involves literally memorizing the entire game, running through without gaining even a single bit of non-forced EXP, reloading saves if you hit too many random encounters in certain areas, etc. It's probably the most hosed up OCD game-related thing I've ever seen in my life. Then you have to go back after getting the sword and clear all of the optional stuff in the game that isn't time-gated.

Also I hope they end up releasing that sweet pre-order wallpaper later on, or have some similar Amano art ones. I like it a lot, but not enough to pre-order specifically through PSN for, especially since I'd like to have a physical copy. I'm sure I'll play the hell out of this game, but once I'm done I doubt it will be something I go back and replay, so might as well have the option to sell it off when I'm done. Even with my favorite games in the series I only get the urge to play them again every 2 or 3 years, and by then this game will be like $15 at Gamestop anyway.

It's FF15. They've been making it for 10 years. It stars a bad boyband. Of course it's the greatest game ever made -- how is this even a question?

I think I remember interviews with the developers where they said there would be a way to limit your exp? Like an option or ability? Any early players come across that?

I don't want to power level while I'm taking my time exploring and I kinda feel like treating it Dark Souls style. Pump my levels up by 1 or 2 every now and then. Keep it challenging.

It's a miniscule sample size but the jist so far is pretty nothing story but it's enjoyable to play.

You can avoid resting, ever, unless forced to by the game. At the start of Judgment you topped out at 999 rest EXP that were to be accumulated upon resting. You can SL1 it I'm quite sure.

Didn't it force you to spend the night at a hotel as part of the story at the end of judgement disc? Can't remember if it did the exp tally though.

:same: At least I took next Wednesday off to give myself time to dive into the game once it's released, but knowing my luck Amazon/UPS won't deliver it until Wednesday evening. I also bought the Piggyback strategy guide to my collection, but I don't think I'll use it much until I'm deep into the game.

Here's a gameplay spoiler from the guide's listing on Amazon: There's a New Game+

Sounds like we should watch the movie Kingsglaive if we want a good heads up before starting the game from a story perspective, and it makes a lot more sense.

The massive patch apparently adds the relevant scenes into the game as cutscenes so probably not.

Hey, people can be sensitive this close to release. I lost my goddamn mind in the days leading up to MGSV:Phantom Pain and I had to hide out in the Imp Zone for a while because of spoilers in the main thread. This thread seems a little more conscientious about keeping the leaked details at a minimum.

It's strange because I vaguely recall Tabata saying Kingsglaive cutscenes would be some kind of a DLC upgrade most likely. But very cool if they're being added by default.

Kingsglaive is worth watching if you're on the fence. It deals with the events leading up to the beginning of FFXV and I thought the climactic battle sequence was very good. I still don't know about Ultros being in it, he came out of nowhere and I don't know if it's just a goof for the fans or if there was an explanation I didn't hear.

I seem to remember you being able to do this in the original Duscae demo, but then it getting removed in Duscae 2.0. Or maybe you could warp to landmarks/warp points outside of battle? Or both?

Either way I'm very happy to hear it'll be in the final game.

No shift just refers to the short distance warp move you can do.

Fast travel is already in the game. But you shouldn't do it because the bros talk during car rides.

This has me real happy from the patch notes.

- A “Music Player” item has been added so that you can listen to your favorite songs while walking.

I guess the radio from when you drive around can extend to when you're on foot. Sounds great to me.
