I can't take another FF heartbreak It's gonna be the worst in the series. Also, consider running through FF13 again but skipping literally every single one of its atrocious garbage cutscenes because the combat system in it is real good, it's just saddled with garbage literally everything else sweet mamma jamma even the loving item shop is hosed up.

I can't take another FF heartbreak The best decision would be to keep your expectations in check, pass the time by playing other great games, and probably wait a year or so to get a discounted GotY edition of FFXV from an Amazon sale that is fully patched with all of the DLC intact. But I'm sure doing the complete opposite wouldn't hurt.

If you play as aggressively wrongly as possible, doing everything you can to stall for time, sure I guess that could happen although given bosses will instant game-over you if you try that it should tip you off that's not what you're supposed to be doing. If you're actually using the combat system to its fullest extent even boss fights are sub 5 minutes.

Managed to get an early disc copy - it's pretty fun so far (although I'm only like 2h in). Managed to find one dungeon that I think is optional in the very first area. Abandoned mine, pretty creepy and atmospheric. The fun boyz club also has a bunch of dialogue that responds to the dungeon, too - they call stuff out as you walk around and comment on what's happening. More description of the dungeon, if you want to be spoiled: The mine is filled with level 7 goblins that will run around in mine carts and hit you with them, ambush you, etc., and there's one level 52 samurai motherfucker that just comes out of nowhere and ambushes you. Clearly something you're supposed to come back to later in the game. Scared the living poo poo out of me, though, and ambient music really helps . If there are a bunch of dungeons like this in the game (and other leaks seem to indicate there are), then I don't give a gently caress about the story, 10/10 GOTY/Worst Final Fantasy Ever. Edit: Oh, and the game makes really good use of HDR, so if you have an HDR set definitely turn it on in the options. VanillaGorilla fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Nov 23, 2016 |

As someone who watched Kingsglaive, I'm pretty sure there's literally nothing to be gained from watching Kingsglaive or Kingsglaive excerpts except seeing what the bad guys and the princess look like.

I also watched it, and I just want to finish the game to see if it can be considered properly optional or not. I'm okay with games where you launch into evolved/progressed situations like FF15/Minesweeper.exe

Kingsglaive is basically the Star Wars Rogue 1 of story importance. You know what happens at the end, it's just the very long version of a cutscene you get at the end of chapter....2? Or whenever the newspaper scene is.

As I remember it the only fights that got tediously long were in the final stage, and then they were about 5 minutes each, tops. FF13's combat is still a slog because basic battles still tend to take way too long and it makes the repetition wearying.

I haven't played XIII since release so I could very well be forgetting something, but off the top of my head I can't remember any particularly tedious fights. There were a couple bosses where I wasn't paying attention to the mechanics that took a bit longer than normal, but I don't remember any of them being 15 minutes or whatever, even then. The closest I can think of are those Long Gui things, and those are optional. They also get a lot easier later in the game when all you have left to do is farm stuff if you're a completionist. I haven't bothered to play the XV demo since I kinda want to go through the beginning of the game fresh, but from what I've seen of it, the combat looks interesting. I like the idea of making it more interactive, even if it doesn't end up being super deep or challenging. Hell, some of my favorite games in the series are ones you could realistically beat by doing nothing but using regular attacks 90% of the time.

Kingsglaive is super boring but it does help with the "who's who and what's what" if you haven't read anything about FFXV's setting and plot

http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/11/22/final-fantasy-15-director-apologizes-for-leaks-looking-into-legal-action Tabata is threatening legal action against people who spoiled the game because the ending is so mind numbingly stupid it's making people cancel their pre-orders. The review embargo ends a day before the game comes out. Square knows it's bad, guys, and they're trying to keep you from knowing.

It's not even bad it, it's like deciding that FF 7 is poo poo because the last fight against Sephiroth is a gimme where you just use Omnislash on him.

Norns posted:Uhh 100%? Really? Does MS have a history of letting pricing errors go through (is this even a pricing error?)? I usually see people in threads jumping on stuff like that and then posting later going "Welp, that got canceled." They sent me an order confirmation, but my card doesn't get charged until it ships, so there's like a good solid six days here for it to get canceled, looks like. I picked the Standard free shipping, dunno if that would even get here on launch day or not.

Tae posted:His history suggests he is unironically stupid. I know that we think far otherwise, and hold them most part wise men that are in authority, princes, magistrates, [184]rich men, they are wise men born, all politicians and statesmen must needs be so, for who dare speak against them? And on the other, so corrupt is our judgment, we esteem wise and honest men fools. Which Democritus well signified in an epistle of his to Hippocrates: [185]the Abderites account virtue madness, and so do most men living. Shall I tell you the reason of it? [186]Fortune and Virtue, Wisdom and Folly, their seconds, upon a time contended in the Olympics; every man thought that Fortune and Folly would have the worst, and pitied their cases; but it fell out otherwise. Fortune was blind and cared not where she stroke, nor whom, without laws, Audabatarum instar, &c. Folly, rash and inconsiderate, esteemed as little what she said or did. Virtue and Wisdom gave [187]place, were hissed out, and exploded by the common people; Folly and Fortune admired, and so are all their followers ever since: knaves and fools commonly fare and deserve best in worldlings' eyes and opinions. Many good men have no better fate in their ages: Achish, 1 Sam. xxi. 14, held David for a madman. [188]Elisha and the rest were no otherwise esteemed. David was derided of the common people, Ps. ix. 7, I am become a monster to many. And generally we are accounted fools for Christ, 1 Cor. xiv. We fools thought his life madness, and his end without honour, Wisd. v. 4. Christ and his Apostles were censured in like sort, John x.; Mark iii.; Acts xxvi. And so were all Christians in [189]Pliny's time, fuerunt et alii, similis dementiae, &c. And called not long after, [190]Vesaniae sectatores, eversores hominum, polluti novatores, fanatici, canes, malefici, venefici, Galilaei homunciones, &c. 'Tis an ordinary thing with us, to account honest, devout, orthodox, divine, religious, plain-dealing men, idiots, asses, that cannot, or will not lie and dissemble, shift, flatter, accommodare se ad eum locum ubi nati sunt, make good bargains, supplant, thrive, patronis inservire; solennes ascendendi modos apprehendere, leges, mores, consuetudines recte observare, candide laudare, fortiter defendere, sententias amplecti, dubitare de nullus, credere omnia, accipere omnia, nihil reprehendere, caeteraque quae promotionem ferunt et securitatem, quae sine ambage felicem, reddunt hominem, et vere sapientem apud nos; that cannot temporise as other men do, [191]hand and take bribes, &c. but fear God, and make a conscience of their doings. But the Holy Ghost that knows better how to judge, he calls them fools. The fool hath said in his heart, Psal. liii. 1. And their ways utter their folly, Psal. xlix. 14. [192]For what can be more mad, than for a little worldly pleasure to procure unto themselves eternal punishment? As Gregory and others inculcate unto us. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
