Magic doesn't seem to hurt your dudes very much at all, even very strong magic. I think it mostly just stuns them for a second. Like that Thunder spell hit for 9999x3 on the boss and did like 50 damage to the party members or something nuts. They just did the whole "fall down and convulse as a million volts course through their body" thing and then yelled at me for blasting them.

Later on there's a version of the game that costs 10k per play and has way, way better rewards. I feel bad for the OCD people because you can only get the rewards one at a time and there's like 20 different ones for each version of the game. That's a shitload of sorta-pinball to play.

Pretty sure you can get most / all of the stuff elsewhere, but I guess you get earlier access to some of it, which I guess might be worth it to some people.

He won't say it again if you actually do it in the hot beginning areas. Once you transition to colder climes they'll bitch if they don't have jackets. It's a neat little touch.

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,
I haven't played enough to decide how gay I think the game is (Only a few hours in myself), but I've never heard a character say "no homo" or anything like that.

You can have Japanese voices and English subtitles though.

Are there multiple discs for all the soundtracks or is there really a FFX CD without To Zanarkand on it? There's a lot of weird omissions of reasonably popular songs from some of the other games, too. How do you make a soundtrack for IX without Jesters of the Moon.

Honestly the radio is so quiet I don't know that you could hear a piano piece like that over the engine. May as well free up the spot for something else. :shrug:

Is the only way to fast forward to night time to fast travel a couple of times until it is night? Or is there some "wait til night" option I'm missing somewhere?

edit: nevermind, when I took the night hunt, it asked me if I wanted to wait there until night. I swear it didn't prompt me to do that the first time.

If you have a hunt that takes place at night, you can activate it and it'll ask you if you want to wait till night. You can redo hunts and abort them to take advantage of it.

You can adjust it the volume in the settings, and there are other quiet piano pieces (Rose of May is a prime example). I guess there just quite a few tracks missing from every game, which is kinda weird. Not like it would take up much disc space to just put the full OSTs on there versus 75% of them, unless I am grossly underestimating how much space music files take up. Ah well, just kinda weird. There have been like five songs I wanted to listen to for maximum nostalgia, only to realize they aren't there. Still plenty of good stuff though!


Also for anyone else having issues with the camera in combat against a lot of enemies at once, try setting the camera to "far" in the options. Makes it much easier to see enemies that would normally be off-screen, so you get less instances of being bum-rushed by a random enemy and knocked out of a combo. It also makes the huge enemies look even bigger since you get a better sense of scale. The perspective almost feels like an old-school SNES FF sometimes. Also nice for areas with a bunch of trees, since for me the camera sometimes spazzes out and get stuck on a random shrub or something while I get chain-attacked by enemies I can't see.
