Stormgale posted:He also Depending on how you interpet the Darkness on his soul line, was a very good person once who just got hosed over by absorbing demons and going basically insane from that + immortality + being betrayed + never being able to reach heaven Yep. Ardyn summarized: The Big Bang. The gods create the universe and Eos. Humans show up and most of the gods are cool with it. The humans start evolving and the first civilization is born, Solheim. Ifrit says "gently caress this poo poo, humans are assholes, I'm gonna unleash a plague on them that turns them into daemons". The other gods were like "woooah, no bueno, hey you Ardyn Lucis Caelum, you are our Chosen One and this here chick is the Oracle, you need to combat this plague". Ardyn's like "cool" but because he's such a nice dude, he can't bring himself to kill the people that turned into daemons, and instead absorbed their demonic juices. Another king named Izunia was jealous that the gods chose Ardyn over him, and then called up the gods and said "hey your "Chosen One" seems quite coked up on demonic stuff" and the gods were like "awww what the hell, guess we have to get a new Chosen One, gently caress off Ardyn, this guy is now Lucis Caelum and you're no longer welcome to the afterlife". Ardyn quite rightfully says "gently caress the gods" and decides to team up with Ifrit, and kill the next Chosen One when he's at his strongest to deny the gods. Which is Noctis, whose ancestor was the original Izunia.

I find myself unable to use techniques quite a bit even though I have the full bars - is there something I'm missing mechanics wise?

Good Will Hrunting posted:So I have to run into the heart of battle to use my oh poo poo regroup mechanism? I've never needed to be that close. You can't trigger it if the member in question is downed, or animation locked with a blindside or team up attack, or if they have a status effect that prevents them from doing so.

In the underwater dungeon where you end up fighting the Quetzocoatl, I kept getting split off from my party by gates that would close (?) and having to fight like 3 reapers and a bunch of skeletons as just Noctis, or Noctis and worthless Prompto. It was miserable and I basically burned through my entire stock of curatives from the entire game so far. Toward the end of one of these, I was able to use "regroup" and suck in Ignis and the hot Dragoon chick as well so then it was balanced. Was this a glitch or is the game just loving with you there and breaking you up to be needlessly difficult?

I've read a bunch of spoilers and am just in chapter 3. Is Ardyn that guy you meet in Golden Quay who flips a coin at you? Also what is it with square enix games and them needing you to watch and read a bunch of supplementary material to understand the plot? I want to enjoy a full coherent story without having to do homework

Wish I knew this beforehand instead of trying to save my expericasts for the stuff I knew would give me the biggest boost  Random end of game question because I'm still in chapter eight but have been spoiled from watching streams: How does the postgame stuff work? Do you just go back in time but now a bunch more stuff is open just because? Or is there a better explanation? IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Dec 6, 2016 |

The idea is just that you're reliving memories Noctis had, and he did all those things before he goes to the second half of the game. Things open up because video game.

Things open up because video game. I like to interpret this as a sort of literal depiction of a legend growing greater over time. People's stories about what Noctis and his friends did on their journey will likely grow bigger and more fanciful and the game now allows you to do that. Yeah, sure, Prince Nocis killed every single gigantic monster in Lucis before going off to slay the demons, why not?

Speaking of techniques... when you call out for one and it goes through the animation, does the combat effectively pause when that's happening? It feels like I'm just standing there getting whaled on while Gladious does the big wind-up for a Tempest, but I've kind of been assuming that's not the case.

Am I imagining things, or is each in-game day getting shorter the more I progress in the main story? Sunrise used to be like 6 and now the sun doesn't rise until like, 10 or something.

I've gotten to the point with Prompto where I won't even eat any stat boosting food that doesn't give HP anymore. Though I did just find an accessory last night that gives +1k HP so that'll help.

WaltherFeng posted:I don't like Wait Mode because it end up pausing my game when more often than I'd like. If only they could patch Ignis's analyze ability in Active mode. He has a tech that enchants Noctis' attacks with the element the enemy is weak against but I don't know how long it lasts for.

That same box of the enemies' weaknesses does pop up for me sometimes even though I don't use Wait Mode. No idea what causes it to show up though

No idea what causes it to show up though Ignis can use analyze if you're not in wait mode, it's just random, as far as I can tell. I wish he would just do it at the start of a fight by default.

No idea what causes it to show up though It's the Analyze ability I was talking about earlier. The problem is that Ignis uses it only at random and the information is never recorded anywhere. It's baffling that they completely messed it up in favor of Wait Mode.

Gravy Jones posted:It feels like there should be an in-between option. Allowing you to pop into wait mode to scan by choice, but not forcing it every time you stop moving. Once you realize it only pauses when you stop giving controller input for movement it happens way way less and is a lot less frustrating. It's a great way to figure out who (or what appendage) you're actually targeting in a crazy battle.

Is it worth spending any points on the grid with teammates non-technique skills? I gave them all their first ability, and am not impressed. They use it seldomly and randomly.

When Gladio's survival gets to like level 4 or 5 he'll just start picking them (and rare coins which are 3x better) up after battles.

Good Will Hrunting posted:What should I spec towards / do in general if I want to spend as little time completing the main quest as possible? Just play the game. when you get Rare Coins save them until you get stuck at something, then craft them into a spell, using the spell on groups of enemies, go stay at Galdin Quey (or just at one of the 1.5x exp places), be hilariously overleveled for the rest of the game.
