Quick question I'm sure has been asked, what are a few of the must haves from the ascension upgrades? I haven't upgraded anything yet, level 4. Noctis' Light Phase (reduced MP cost for phasing) and Experimagic (increases Noctis MP) I'll get of course. Also accessory slots etc as mentioned in a post a few pages ago. Digging the feel of the game so far! Also are there other extra ways to raise your health aside from the Health Level ascension upgrade, and equipment stuff like say Masamune and bangles? And temporary boosts from food. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Dec 2, 2016 |

I read about some advanced combat tutorial videos earlier in the thread, can I get a link to them. I'm liking the game and would rather not be terrible.

The fmv stuff is from kingsglaive, the tie in movie that shows the empire attacking insomnia and how Regis dies.

I have found the following to be real useful: -AP for camping, driving(and fishing / chocobo riding if you want) -First shot for Prompto in the teamwork tree -The Regroup technique for Ignis -The Enhancement technique for Ignis -Regenerate for Ignis in the teamwork tree -2nd accessory slot -Link up and the other link strike damage boosting ability in the combat? tree. I haven't bought it yet, but the black hole skill for Prompto seems promising. Tech Strike also seems good.

Man there are a lot of enemies that spam instant-danger moves with very iffy block windows. If I was fighting stuff way over my level that would be one thing, but it's kinda annoying to get in a fight with an enemy that is my same level and have to heal after every time it lands a hit even when I've got upgraded stats and decent accessories. It's mostly bosses and large enemies at least, but the camera makes it hard to see the action sometimes and it's easy to start churning through consumables at a crazy rate.

I'd rather play a JRPG that's too easy than one that's too hard, so I don't really mind if you get too much experience. More here for exploration/story/immersion than having to reload and go and grind. Not that I mind doing that, but it's not a plus or anything for me.

Awesome, now the dropships drop 3 level 47 guys (I'm level 30ish) that each one shot me and my party members. This is so loving stupid and unfun. It seems like my choice is either run from them up or chug a dozen potions every time they show up every few minutes.

I think the dropships and their cargo are meant to be prohibitively difficult. I'm still in chapter 3, my next story quest is level 10, and the ships barf out a whole platoon of level 18 troopers. Even as overleveled as I am, those gunners can turn me to mince in no time. Just run like hell, there's a reason your teammates always warn you when one of the ships descend.

I'm really curious to see what NG+ speedruns of this look like (especially ones locked at level 1) because I have a feeling it's going to be a fuckton of weird magic and crafting poo poo.

Levels are way less important than people are assuming. I pretty trivially killed a couple of level 50 enemies around level 20. Anything less then 10 level difference is easily beatable.

Oxxidation posted:Not really. We'll just have to agree to disagree. I can deal with giant high level one-shotting mobs in the world that I have to avoid but I've had these things, multiple times, drop on me and force my car to pull over (and prevent me from getting back in) and show up in the middle of a fight on some sidequest. They are an incredible annoyance and they only seem to get more difficult the higher level I get. Constantly throwing enemies at me that I have to run away from or have a really un-fun fight doesn't make any sense.

Killed my first Iron Giant with a cheesy Quad-cast Thundara. Managed to kill about 5 Ice Bombs and a whole drop ship of Magitek suits with the cast too. It was total chaos.

Game just done took my loving ride away from me  You gimme that car back! I spent time waxing it!At least I have chocobos. Lucid Dream posted:What a lovely mechanic. It depends upon what level you are in regards to the area around you and whether or not its night time. Its balanced though, I can usually one shot an ENTIRE group of soldiers with a single spell cast.

Prompto's photography mechanic came out of loving nowhere. The only hint we got of it was a couple of joke-y cellphone snapshots in the Duscae demo. Who came up with this idea? Where is their promotion, and raise, and small but tasteful plaque in the company lobby?

Its balanced though, I can usually one shot an ENTIRE group of soldiers with a single spell cast. The large groups of guys don't bother me that much, I quickly learned to either hit them with spells or just not jump into the pile and let them split up a bit before engaging... but these level 47 assassins that started showing up are just miserable. They have gobs of health, my spells don't do enough damage to them, and if I try to engage in melee they literally incap me and my party in one hit. I just had a group drop on me and they incapped all 3 if my buddies in under 10 seconds and I just had to run away from the side quest I was on. Its like the game just occasionally walks by and slaps the controller out of my hand. If anyone has any tips for handling them I'm all ears, because my spells don't seem to cut it against them and melee is a non-starter.
