The "Redeem DLC" button wouldn't work for me until I went into the settings and selected the platform I preferred. After that I hit the button and the codes were sent to me immediately.

I already had my platform selected, and it tells me "Your codes have been sent to your email." But it lies.

Looks pretty good to me, some textures look a bit dodgy but that's about it. It also runs at a solid 30 fps but feels a bit choppy because the frame pacing is all over the place.

I won't be able to play it until next week and my brother told me the same thing. That for how long the game took to make it looks like poo poo and is kinda inexcusable.

But OTOH, he at least said its stupid but fun. I'm staying away from videos and streams so I'm in the dark about just how well it runs and looks.

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.

I tried both and neither work. PS4 says the code has already been redeemed. Amazon sent me two codes for the Roadtrip and I gave GreenBuckanneer the one I didn't use. I'm trying to see if both codes Amazon sent me seeded the same DLC codes, but that doesn't make any sense. The most worrying thing is that the PS4 store doesn't error out as the code being incorrect, but being already redeemed. I'll keep trying but I hope SE support just sends me new codes.

Yeah, I know, but my brother has no idea that FF 13 Versus was ever a thing. He just knows its taken a long time to be released.

This is all something that will be interesting to discuss in a month or so. Once lots of people have played through 15 and have more behind the scenes info. (If we ever learn any more)

The Carbuncle thing shows up in the tutorial with whatever name you gave it. IDK if there's more

I completely forgot about this, so when I started the game and all the other pre-order bonus messages and stuff were popping up, I got one that was like "Because you played Platinum Demo, Tim will join you!" and I was wondering who the gently caress "Tim" was.

Are you sure those multiple emails you got didn't have the exact same codes in them? I accidentally clicked the "Redeem Codes" button twice, and got two emails in a row, but they both had the exact same set of 3 codes in them. I think you may have given away your actual code, not an extra.

Okay so now that I've played for a bit, Noct is Vincent Chase, Gladiolus is Drama, Prompto is Turtle and Ignis is E.

Also did not expect to hear "Stand by me" in a Final Fantasy game :stare: but it does kinda fit.

They all had the same codes. I meant Amazon gave me an extra code to make a Roadtrip account. I registered one, went through the games, then gave the other code for Roadtrip away. So I don't know if or why the two different Amazon codes would allow two separate Roadtrip accounts but give duplicate DLC codes? That doesn't sound right to me. Each Amazon code should make a unique Roadtrip account, and the codes generated from the Roadtrip account should also be unique.

The jumbo flan mission was night only for me. I walked to the tower/yellow marker on the minimap and he spawned out of the ground. Only happens after 8 or 9. If you're in the yellow mission area you might need to step outside the area and reenter after 8.

I must say, I wish they'd made the DLC sword a skin or something instead of a weapon that is completely and utterly outclassed by a sword you find on the ground in the first 30 minutes of the game, because it looks pretty neat.

Okay I wasn't sold on the whole "road trip" thing but having Ignis chauffeur me around automatically while I chill and watch the countryside roll by and listen to the FF7 soundtrack and then listen as my buddies chirp in and make fun of each other... it works. Really well.

Game is very slick. Love how non-linear it is (gently caress you FF13) love that there's no random encounters whatsoever (gently caress you 13) the graphics are fantastic and the UI seems pretty smartly done, with some nice throwbacks to classic final fantasy, like the 16-bit character sprites on the equipment purchase screen.

Enjoying it a lot so far!
