Yes, I already have 4 outfits for everyone.

Holy poo poo why isn't there a tutorial about the Magic system, I have no idea how it works. I got some spells equipped but no idea what they do.

You push circle, they go boom and usually destroy everything including your buddies. You can also hold down circle to aim where they go. Remember this for the Behemoth hunt.

did anyone get the fuckoff idiot squenix edition yet and if so can you tell me how the DLC is included, i.e. how many codes there are and for which items?

All the DLC is one code located on a slip in the steel book with the game and movie.

And I definitely agree with the Prompto picture idea person being promoted to CEO. Some really cool pictures come out of it and it is the most impressive part of the game for me so far.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Has anyone else had issues redeeming their Roadtrip DLC codes? I got mine in an email but none of them work. I don't know if this is because I was given two codes from Amazon to make a Roadtrip account and gave one to a goon, or if it's a bigger issue. I was able to redeem the Gold Chocobo Regalia skin from Amazon without a problem, but none of the three Roadtrip codes work. I sent an email to SE about it but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask the thread. Sorry if it's been asked and answered already; this thread is kind of a mine field for someone who won't be able to play for another hour or so.

If you're installing from a disc something is wrong, if you're 'installing' a digital download then that's just lovely PSN download speed. It'll go faster in sleep mode.

When you're in a town like this all covered with smoke, you forget that there's a world outside. Nothing amazing happens here. And you get used to that, used to a world where everything is ordinary. Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly.

Sadly, it's not, mine had 10,045 mins left on it last night, left the console on in Rest Mode overnight, and it still had 84 mins to go at 10:30 this morning. I'm just going to assume the internet poo poo itself at some point last night and it didn't download as much as it should have. That poo poo should have finished in 2-3 hours as opposed to the 7 it was going to take.

For what it's worth I found that restarting the PS4completely (rather than just putting it into rest) helped download speeds yesterday. Put it into rest after that and finished downloading about 45 minutes after launch.

I haven't gotten to play this yet since I'm at work but from the videos I've seen it almost looks like you can do weird DMC-esque convos with weapon switches. Can you keep chains going or do they all have finishing moves and stuff?

On PS4, any of Prompto's photos that you save go straight into the PS4's Capture Gallery, and can be shared to social media or transferred to a USB drive like any other game screenshot. I imagine it's the same for however Xbox One's screenshots are set up.

Mine was at 1600 minutes when I started. It went down to 1000 minutes after 10 real-life minutes or so, but yeah it's hilariously bad. I bought the game digitally, for reference.

Yeah, the best way I've found to share stuff was to share via Twitter, and then grab the photo from there on my PC and delete the tweet.

That the playstation app can connect to your console but not let you share the media on there with the normal intent flow is the dumbest thing.

I'm dozens of pages behind on this thread. How do I use my promotional code amazon sent me for pre-ordering the fancy special edition? It links me to the amazon road trip website, and it just says "invalid email" when I try to sign up. I've tried 5 different emails now.

I just want my shiny special stuff :(

Have they sent out the Carbuncle surprise code yet? I haven't gotten it.

Edit: The official rules say "on or around December 12", so I'm guessing not.

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



Man some of these battles get hectic as hell. They could probably tone down the spawn rate of some things in a couple areas a bit - I was in the beginning of Chapter 3 and I was slaughtering a pack of wild animals to steal their flesh for a quest, and suddenly a giant pack of very angry dogs spawned right on top of them. As I was killing them, a dropship full of soldiers landed on top of *that*. Then a second pack of dogs. Then a second dropship. And somehow a cactuar showed up and kept 1-shotting everyone with 1,000 needles and I had no idea what the hell was going on until almost everything else was dead and I finally saw the tiny little fucker speeding around.

I dunno if it was just a weird coincidence / something in the scripting crossed wires or what, but it was pretty funny. I had to use a ton of healing items just to get through it, I could barely even move or see because there were literally like 30 enemies on screen at any given time. On the plus side, the framerate held steady! Hopefully that's not normal though, or it would get pretty annoying / exhausting.

Also I found some baby chocobos :3:

Huh, the Xbone version doesn't have any of the frame pacing issues that you get on PS4 (I'm kinda jealous of those of you who don't notice the microstutter, it's not ruining the game or anything but it's just one of those little annoying things that you can't unsee once you notice it). Of course, it also has a blurrier presentation (dynamic resolution maxing out at 900p + temporal anti-aliasing) and some actual (minor) frame drops here and there, so it's not fantastic either.

Did you try redeeming through your PS4 as opposed to through the PS Store website? Someone was saying earlier it worked for them.

I hit the "redeem DLC" button like 7 hours ago and still haven't gotten my e-mail.
