Skeezy posted:I think that first time player card at the beginning was nice. They really want people to like this game. Its been a rollercoaster. Yeah, I actually thought it was a very sweet touch. I've only played a couple previous FF games so I guess I fall somewhere inbetween but I thought it was really nice of them to welcome anyone who might be trying FF for the first time.

He's Insomnian-born and raised, so he's better than those dregs from outside the city wall (of course then you have those born outisde like LIBERTUS so whatever)

Possible(?) KingsGlaive spoilers: Gladiolus' dad is King Regis' main bodyguard, since they were super young, (he's in a photo you might have seen around this point) and I'm pretty sure he understands that if the King is dead so is his father. He seems to be taking it all pretty well 100% a KingsGlaive spoiler: His dad is dead as gently caress

Saint Freak posted:I like that all the story characters have names like Lunafreya Apollonia Vedalia and Gladiolas Ipsum Lorem and then all the NPCs I meet are just like "Cid" and "Dave" Hahaha my wife was watching me play and said the same thing. "All your guys are named Gladiolus, Ignus, Noct, and Prompto, and that poor guy is just 'Dave'. His parents must have hated him"

Played about 3 hours last night and finished Chapter 1. The cutscene that played at the end w/ no dialogue or really any explanation... is that what Kingsglaive is? Or is that really it for that cutscene? Seems fairly important and its presentation in game was awful.

The whole sequence hunting a Behemoth in the mist was very well done, but the cover system caused me to lose a couple times. Am I supposed to HOLD square to enter cover or is it really just extremely finicky?

With control scheme C, how do you keep a lock on an enemy? I know L1 will lock on, but that's if you hold it. What's the other button you hit in conjunction to maintain a target lock?

Hold actions have a little triangle over the button in the active help.

Are there any guides yet to what treasures to save vs vendor? I appreciate the flavor text descriptions but it sure would be nice to have a simple (trash that will never be needed for a quest) indicator.

I've spent the last six hours just boppin' back and forth between Hammerhead and the rest stop doing hunts, wandering around, and listening to bro banter. This is already worth my $60.

And I'm in Chapter 3 and reached level 20 doing so  The boss was fun if really easy. I might need to consider not eating any food so I don't get all these stat buffs. Either way, bouncing around the arena and taking out snipers while breaking off the boss's appendages whenever they showed up was fun.

Not surprised it was easy since the recommended level for the end of Chapter 2 quest is like...8?  Beeline getting Chocobos in chapter 3.

The best way to reset your stamina while running is to just click L3 (or whateveryour sprint button is) once the green part of the stamina meter reaches the S in ST works every time

The actual easiest way is just to press it whenever Noctis starts reeling back.

I wish to god quests gave less experience because especially if you're abusing the super-easy experience boosters you're hilariously overleveled just by playing the game.

I can't bring myself to stop exploring. I beat the level 52 boss of the Mines at level 6. Cheese, yes but those 2000+ exp were nice. Two locked doors and some decent accessories for my trouble. Game is way more fun than I expected.

Really enjoying the game so far. The combat just keeps things interesting and driving everything forward. The names are a bit on the nose if you know any Latin though. Prince Night along with his bodyguards, Ready, Fire and Sword, travel from the city of No Sleep to meet with the Princess MoonLove later they meet up with Marshall Heart. When I saw "Cor" I actually laughed out loud. Still, beats the hell out of the weird names from XIII that I hated, Fal'cie and L'ciel and all that. Notics throwing a hissy fit about his father trying to protect him is pretty dumb and kinda annoying. Dude, what do you expect? He's the king and he's your father. He did the best he could. Noctis' attitude doesn't really make sense, even for a haughty teenager prince. ImpAtom posted:I wish to god quests gave less experience because especially if you're abusing the super-easy experience boosters you're hilariously overleveled just by playing the game. You're definitely not meant to do everything, which is nice so you can pick and choose the things that sound fun and skip things you don't want to do. But it means if you do close to everything you end up waaaay overleveled yeah, especially if you use rest bonuses. I agree that getting overleveled is a bit easy to do and then makes the game a bit easy for awhile. They actually created a normal and easy difficulty, wonder if they could patch in a 'hard'.

It's definitely a potential problem if you're a completionist. On the other hand I actually find myself wishing that you didn't auto-level at chapter completion, since that kinda ruins any potential level 1 runs in the future (which I imagine could very well be possible without that given food buffs and being able to accumulate AP through a number of ways).

Seriously though, nothing wrong with Noctis's reaction. If Regis knew the treaty was a farce then he should have done more to protect the people instead of just his son.
