Good to hear, would feel weird to own a main series FF title without having the disc/box/case.

Since this isn't coming to the pc for a while (if ever), anyone knows of a good LPer that will stream this ? (Low on gimmicks, no face-cam, etc.)

Not sure. I'm watching an Australian streamer right now but the guy stops playing every two minutes to fight with his chat.

For those who already have the game, does the American version of the game have dual audio and dual language?

PS4 has a much better catalog of games and every new Microsoft-published Xbone game comes to PC on the same day, so.

It couldn't be as bad as Xenogears second disc.

Question is will the rest of the game overcome it because Xenogears is RPG canon to a lot of people and seems like the ceiling for this is just fun to fight stuff.

Incidentally, they changed up the battle scoring system in 1.02. "Stealth" is out, and now you're rated on Damage, Finesse, and Defense. Seems MUCH easier to get A ranks on fights now (I literally never figured out what the gently caress "Stealth" even meant after 30 hours of playing the game).

Oh, and the in-game clock now advances during fast travel. Which is important because the day/night cycle in the game actually means something.

edit: today's updates - just found out there's a garden you can tend in the game, and also had an inn scene where Gladio fell asleep on the couch with a girlie mag on his face. GOTY 2016

Just finished the anime and Kingsglaive. I enjoyed the anime cause they were short episodes and gave a little backstory to the characters. Worth watching if you have time to kill until release.

Kingsglaive was alright. It was pretty and there were some cool moments. The plot was pretty bad though. Some of the references to other FF's were pretty rad, like Ultros, and some Weapons from FF7.

The only reason to get a Bone, in my opinion, is if everyone else you know has one for multiplayer. In which case, you should get a PS4 anyway cause those people are dumb.

The only thing I remember from the anime is Noctis ordering a burger and taking most of the things out of it.

Seems very clear, now that I'm over halfway through, that they intended Altissia to be a full second continent. They must have run out of time and resources, but it really gets treated like "you're going to be over there for a really long time!"

Maybe it'll be something they can do in post-release, as an expansion or something. That would definitely get me on board for a season pass.

Technically you meet your dog within the first 3 chapters. He doesn't hang out with you permanently, however - he acts as a messenger between you and Luna for the first part of the game, and in the second half, he uses his doggo magic to teleport you between Altissia and your "memories" of Lucis....which really means being able to go back and do side content whenever you want. You do this by selecting an option to call him at rest spots. You also have the option shake paws when you do this. His name is Umbra, and he's a black and white Shiba Inu. His sister is the dog that Noctis is chasing in the Omens trailer.

This might be a stupid question but is there a way to get the day one patch downloading on a PS4 if you're getting a physical copy? I won't be able to get the game till the afternoon tomorrow but it'd be nice to have the patch ready so I can play when I get home without waiting five hours for the patch to download and install.

just got to chapter 2 and I'm loving this game. combat is a lot more fun than I thought it would be watching some of the gameplay footage on youtube, music and atmosphere are incredible, characters are fun and there is so much attention and little details given to the world and the animations. The car can be a little annoying but the setting is so fun it's not really bothering me (so far at least).

That's probably post-game - at least the body mods (the color you can probably get earlier, depends on the items you'll have to give to Cindy). You'll get a few mods for the Regalia during the early/mid game, but a lot of the big stuff is found in higher level dungeons, base captures, etc.

Not required to watch Brotherhood or Kingsglaive. Don't worry about it. Just play.

We live in an era of digital purchases and consoles that preload. If you want zero doubt you buy digitally.

You're probably really close to a warehouse. My games always ship late at night but they still show up in my patio before I head to work at noon.

So apparently the 1.02 patch changes some of the music. Mostly it seems to replace songs with cleaner, remastered versions that sound even nicer than the already nice soundtrack.

Incidentally, when is that going to be released?

not only is amazon 20% cheaper if you get it physically and have prime, but digital would have to be at least 30-40% cheaper to make it worth not being able to resell when you're done.
