Saint Freak posted:Ingis Sciencer gets an idea from having eaten roadside diner french fries. He quickly takes out his notebook and scribbles the rare delicacy 'french fries' in it, somehow never having heard of them before. Today I read a cooking magazine and suddenly Ignis had a brilliant idea for a recepay. Dude just lifted it straight from the magazine and said it was his own idea!

8-bit Miniboss posted:Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Guess I'm going back to the station after I get home from work. I mean it's mostly just that they sometimes give extra bits of lore or worldbuilding. Like, if you talk to Dave right after finding him in the hut at the beginning of the game, he starts wondering if there is any connection between the monsters mutating and the daemons and nights getting longer.

Terper posted:Just talk to Cindy until she stops giving you quests. Similarly Cid will upgrade your weapons but you have to talk to him over and over. "Hey bring me some parts!" <level 2 spear quest received> "Hey bring me some parts!" <level 2 sword quest received> "Hey bring me some parts!" <level 2 gun quest received> Kinda wish they had an upgrade UI at that point, but you should always talk to NPCs forever in FF games.

This includes all the radios you find around btw, there are tons of news reports that update after big events and other stuff.

ImpAtom posted:You're told you need to find these 13 tombs to recover the powers of the kings. It's a direct and pretty unambiguous reference to the "unlock the sealed weapon" thing from FFV. So I guess Knights of the Round 2 is going to be a thing?

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah this is it. It feels kinda delayed because you can't cancel, so you have to commit to attacks and not get to greedy about attacking forever when poo poo might be coming. Also swap between fast and slow weapons. I think there was a YouTube video showing that you can guard break to cancel any attack string. It was posted earlier in the thread.

ImpAtom posted:I honestly don't know what open world games you think do this well then. Even like Witcher 3 is "Oh, well, you might be looking for your daughter but maybe you'd rather trek halfway across the map to hunt a werewolf instead" and that's frankly my gold standard when I think of well-integrated stories in open-world games. Yeah I'm probably over-reacting. This poo poo just sticks out like a sore thumb in a series that has been known for reasonably structured, full on storytelling. Same goes for MGSV.

It was posted earlier in the thread. Hm, maybe my controller is messing up or maybe I'm just not holding it long enough. My item menu sometimes pops up when I don't push the button, although the PS4's L2/R2 have always been super sensitive...

I'm like level 22 and I still don't understand how the gently caress the health bar works. I got to the waterfall/ice cave dungeon and my health bar just got shorter and shorter after each fight and I could get any potions to restore my health out if combat. Super annoying that this poo poo isn't made more clear.

Super annoying that this poo poo isn't made more clear. If you lose all HP, you're put into a Danger state. When in Danger, your max HP decreases. You can recover from Danger by getting a pat on the back or using a Potion. Once out of Danger, your max HP will be that amount until you either camp or use an Elixir.

Isn't it like the first half of the game this lighter open world thing then it proceeds to that structured full on storytelling? So there's actually more story later, which would be the opposite of what MGS V did

I had no idea elixirs were a thing I needed to carry around. Seems pretty critical for dungeons

Seems pretty critical for dungeons Its not about battles ending really... You shouldn't let your health get diminished at all. If your health is at or near zero, use a potion or hi-potion to top off, like any RPG. Avoid being in the hurt state, its like you died but you get to keep going, but its bad. If you do get beat up, use a potion right away to minimize the damage to your max HP and get back to normal state. After battle, as long as your max health is fine, you'll heal fully to your max health. You just don't want to let your max health ever drop low. If you take a lot of hard hits and your max health is really low, then you use an elixir. Its that simple. Dude how did you have no idea elixirs exist and you're level 22? The shops that sell potions sell phoenix downs and elixirs. You just have to read the item description to figure out how all this works. (or the tutorial  but I skipped it and still figured it out)

Dungeons are really cool so far, in that they seem completely optional and all have their own thing going on. The Mines were terrifying after the Level 52 Samurai zombie dude showed up on the tracks. That was one of the coolest oh poo poo moments I've had so far. I also found an abandoned fallout shelter or something far to the north of Hammerhead. It seemed haunted or maybe it was just the Imps being dicks, but it had a really cool flow. All I'm finding are locked doors though so obviously they are later game content.

Are there places to get the 2x XP boost that don't cost an insane amount? It's crazy to go from $300 for 1.5x to $10,000 for 2x.

Hey guys, hope it's kosher to ask a question like this... I haven't really enjoyed a Final Fantasy title since FFX. Part of it has to do with a recent aversion to turn-based combat (thought I do like it) and I appreciate that this game does things a little more like Kingdom Hearts. Also, embarrassingly, one of my hobbies happens to be collecting and selling manga and doujinshi on eBay - uh, pretty much all yaoi. So I guess what I am asking is whether this game is as queer as it really seems. I mean, Final Fantasy games have always been like super-gay or queer - they're these big overarching stories with operatic over the top characters and betrayals and the fate of the world is generally at stake by the end of things and your party of mostly skinny pretty guys and gals go in to save the world, often via the power of love or friendship or something. I'm not saying it's bad or doesn't work, I like it! But it is what it is. But yeah, I just am sincerely curious as to whether they really turned the gay up to 11 and embraced it in the localization, or dialed it back and had the characters saying "no homo, man!" all the time, or something. Also, is English locked or can you switch to Japanese and subtitles? Again, sorry about the questions; I still have a PS3 and this is the first game that's made me go "Ok, it's really time to finally just get a goddamn PS4." So it's not just a $50-$60 decision but more like a $300-$450 decision,

Seems pretty critical for dungeons You can also pop Ignis' Regroup during battle, that'll help bump your health back up. It also revives anybody who's in that stagger phase, as long as they're not actually KO'd (then they need a Phoenix Down). quote:Also, embarrassingly, one of my hobbies happens to be collecting and selling manga and doujinshi on eBay - uh, pretty much all yaoi. So I guess what I am asking is whether this game is as queer as it really seems. Uh, two of the main cast show relationships/attractions to women early on, but it's four bros being on a road trip, so I'm sure you can find something without looking very hard, I imagine it doesn't break immersion too much if you really want it to.

Holy poo poo magic is insanely OP if you put on a bunch of gear that boosts it. Found some accessory with +100 magic and on Normal I had to replay a boss because I insta-gibbed it with a tri-cast lightning before the fight even started, which was way too anticlimactic.

Does that also mean you'll one-shot your bros though? Especially if the DoT on the ground is also boosted.

This is a really dumb question, but since the tutorial I haven't been able to get warp points to work. Like the geographical ones, not warp strikes. I can see them but I can never lock onto them, and just end up warping in random directions. I feel like the whole world of not button mashing will open up once I figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong.

Noctis' target priority will switch to the Point.
