I drove to the Chocobo Post and Noctis disappeared. Eventually the camera centered on the driver seat of the car and randomly went to a loading screen that is seemingly never going to end. Save often, folks!

Ignis has a 6 AP upgrade that makes him scan things automatically most of the time

Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.
Can someone put up a screenie of that analysis and what it means? Haven't had more than 2 seconds of seeing the weakness graph.

DESERVING RECOGNITION
Anyone playing in with HDR mode on using a normal/non-pro PS4? I've been messing around with playing some on and some off and I'm getting the vague impression things are a little less crisp and more jaggy with the setting on, but I can't tell if that's all just in my head or something. The hair on major characters in particular looks a little weird with HDR mode on. Anyone else notice anything similar or am I crazy?

Can't screenshot atm, it's a box about the enemy, each damage type (both weapon type and Magic type) is a square in a row. Purple and a down arrow on the box is Resistance, Orange and an up arrow is Vulnerable, White and no arrow = neutral.

That's true, but it does break the camera away from the field to another battle screen which is also wrong
that isn't wrong and tbh if this game did that the battle system would be better for it

Yeah, the camera gets caught up so often that I'd welcome a separate battle screen.

Edit: I'm also sort of annoyed that there's no reason to use tech points on anyone but Ignis right now because his skills are infinitely more useful than anyone else's so far

When I setup my new PS4 pro I had to set the screen width/height, shouldn't you be able to do that?

For some unknown reason the ps4 doesn't actually force games to use its display size settings. Ff15, and some other games, just ignore it.

There's a certain enemy you need to beat on Normal difficulty, apparently.

Aside from that, I hear that nothing else is missable.

I bought and downloaded the game on my PS4 but I can't do anything other than look at the options menu and do the 'open battle' mode because it is going to take 600 minutes for the game to install or some poo poo. Cool

Somebody was asking a long while back if there were actual cities or just little settlements



That's a bingo

This world is pretty great. I wasn't super crazy about the western/southern frontier lands in the newbie zone, but once you get out of that everything gets real majestic.

My god the loading for everything you do in this game is unbearable. I guess it's because I'm a member of PCMR and haven't touched a console in a year, but this loading sucks.

I think it's telling that he's the only one we never really got any background for in Brotherhood. It's hard to picture the guy having a home life. He's preternaturally classy.

I think it's just because the color difference is greater in hdr mode making edges more easily apparent and thus look more jaggy.

One of mine used all of his fire then kept walking through it and catching on fire from what it looked like. I was too busy trying not to die to see if it was doing any damage or it was just flavor voice over. Either way, I laughed.

Magic seems pretty tedious to use since you only get 3 casts and you need to draw lots of stuff if you want to make powerful magics, unless you go ahead and get the magic skills that increase how much you can draw and how many spells you craft at once, in which case I'm pretty sure it would be super powerful.

I figured out how to make Fira and I bet Firaga would wreck shop. But without the bonus skills, crafting Firagas 3 at a time would be painfully dull.

It is super great for packs of enemies though, which can be very awkward/annoying to fight with melee otherwise.

I like the combat system a whole lot, but it works best when you're righting a big boss or a few dudes. When there's like 8 or more enemies it just becomes a mess.

Like I said, magic can be ridiculously good, you just really have to put the points into the magic skill tree to make it worthwhile.

But I'm too busy putting points in the physical and team skills trees so that ain't happening right now.
