Terper posted:I just completed chapter 13. Noctis moves so slowly I had to roll constantly throughout it and I had one gamebreaking glitch but it was pretty good otherwise. But goddamn...(some pretty major spoilers here)I never journeyed back to the past world once I got to the point where I was locked out of it. I stormed Insomnia for the Final Battle with my levels in the high 40's and was geting my rear end utterly handed to me, so I've gone back to the past for the first time to do some sidequests and it's...it's pretty incredible, just how loving differently this game started. This world was bright and fun and everyone was happy and carefree and our biggest arguments were grumbling over long car rides and the sun was shining. This game goes from being so bright and happy and carefree to being so dark and dire and grim, it's a very affecting experience. I come back to the past and I'm in my Kingly Rainment but we're all young again and I look over at poor Ignis and I can see his eyes again and I felt my heart leap into my throat. As I"ve said before, for all broken storytelling this game has, it manages to suck you into a world and a cast and when bad poo poo happens to them and to it, you feel it.

Megasabin posted:How do you progress those drat upgrade quests? I'm in Chapter 3, and mine are just stuck at "Do more side quests and check back later". I think I'm up to the 3rd upgrade for the sword and the 2nd for the spear. I made the same mistake because it's yet another loving terrible interface problem this game has. The highlighted "do stuff and check back later" bit of quest description is NOT what you're actually supposed to do. You need to bring whatever ingredient is listed in the paragraph above it to Cid and THEN do the sidequest and wait portion. The game doesn't notify you if you actually pick up one of the required ingredients that needs to be turned in to Cid. It's dumb and bad.

I may have spent a little too much time Expericasting magic against drop ship troops though. e: I love magic, but is there a way to break the damage limit? I dump all 99 of all 3 elements into a flask with an item that gives me quintcasting, but it seems a waste when you can easily hit 9999 each strike on a boss.

333AP lets you Break damage limits for one character at a time. So that's 1332 AP for all four. Then again, the only ones who really need it are Noctis and Gladio.

All four of my guys 9999 regularly, I'd respec them to drop the limit if I could. Guess I should expcast farm then take the 30k hotel. It'll be worth it. Wanna hit that magical 99.

Coeurls on this game are the worst. Nimbly bastards that run at mach speed, deal huge damage, can rest to recover all their HP, and has a Blaster-like attack that has (in my experiences) a high chance of instakilling you. gently caress Coeurls.

DalaranJ posted:I wlll pay for DLC of more voice lines if it will get Prompto to stop complaining about the roof when it's already up. I feel like I've already heard everything a dozen times. It's not grating but it's certainly old. I don't need to see Ignis getting an idea for a new recipe ever again. That's just a general problem with Japanese games though, for some reason they loving love interrupting gameplay with popups and all kinds of stupid poo poo. Also I'd kill for a driving option that "fast travel to the nearest point and auto drive the rest of the way." And who the gently caress thought it was a good idea for the map to show the PATH to a highlighted parking spot and not focus on the spot itself? And why can I only see one quest location on the map at once? drat.

ImpAtom posted:I assumed that Ignis would cover the 10 year gap where he learns to fight blind. Frankly I was sort of hoping all the DLC would cover the 10 year gap because the World of Ruin is infinitely more interesting as a DLC area than whatever the gently caress Gladio was up to. They really do need an entire World of Ruin DLC. They made this giant landscape full of super cool demon mobs wrecking poo poo and we are forced to literally drive past all that in a truck. I mean, really. I don't know what Gladio could have done that's more interesting than that.

The graphics were at their best since they didn't have to do huge landscapes. It was a nice change of pace. I didn't feel it dragged at all. Also game beaten.  Gonna get to the rest of the dungeons later.

Arist posted:Beat the game, and yeah, wow, that story's a loving mess, ain't it? It is ironically probably the mot simple and striaghtforward FF plot since the days of the SNES. Maybe even the NES. That pretty much works in its favor since by focusing on such a barebones plot they didn't really lose much for the cuts, but it's sort of interesting when you think about it. It has almost nothing in the way of significant twists and the ones that do exist are sort of glossed over quickly. It's probably the first FF in ages you could describe in a sentence. Yodzilla posted:I saw sneakers do the same thing for some reason which is weird because I don't think I've ever seen my character get dirty. This certainly isn't Bloodborne in that respect. It'll happen if you get into hectic fights. I had Noctis looking like he rolled through mud for the later half of the game.

I think I'm up to the 3rd upgrade for the sword and the 2nd for the spear. Just have the item Cid needs for the upgrade. Then do the two level 2 hunts at Takka's and sleep. He should call you when you wake up to say it's done.

Vitamin P posted:So about Ravos my take was that he was never that bad. He tried to take the ring in Lucis because he wanted personal power, enough to free his little country from the Niffs. Then as the Empire becomes more obviously evil and Luna convinces him with her sincerity he decides to help Noctis. I think this is right, and frankly if they had told this story properly it would have been cool and (Chapter 13 spoiler)when you come across his dead body and severed arm and take your Dad's sword, it would have had a lot more impact. Even without knowing him that well I was still like "drat this sucks for you dude."

Hahahaha this car is quite buggy. I just got underway except Gladious never made it back to the car. When it was driving along, then suddenly a can suddenly floated up from the back of the car up to ignis. In some ways, I think hell always be with them. I'd post a video of it but everything that has to do with playstation software is janky is poo poo and it won't let me upload it to youtube. Also, is there any way to mass-delete the notifications? It boggles the mind to think that they neglected to create a way to clear everything out without going through each individual thing and remove it. Hell, until today I always thought clearing the notification deleted it.

It was a nice change of pace. I didn't feel it dragged at all. I'm glad you liked it, but I'm just gonna have to disagree on basically all points. It didn't feel big or meaty, it just felt like a bunch of largely empty hallways (and I get why they did that) where you weren't allowed to sprint. The graphics did look nice in the 2 or 3 rooms that weren't just copy/pasted concrete hallways and storerooms. And how it feels is obviously subjective, but it ran two hours for me when the preceding three chapters each took about a half hour even when dragging a blind man through a dungeon. It could be just cause I'm overleveled, but nothing in the chapter really poses a threat either. I wound up firing off the room clearing nuke spell every time there were enemies cause it'd go off before I losing even a quarter of my health. I'd wind up rolling my eyes every time Ardyn taunts noct about how useless he is by himself.

To be honest there is like one real boss in the rest of the game from the point you're at. The meaty stuff is in the post-game.
