Kin posted:Fast travel: Should i be abusing it as muhc as possible or slowy gathering the trickle of AP from watching the car drive me everywhere in 2-5 minute chunks? Anything that says it takes 1-2 minutes to drive there isn't worth fast traveling in my opinion, as the loading screen takes over a minute (at least on disc) And yeah the Ignis glasses conversation happens during a story quest, I don't know how you can miss it. He does say his eye sight is "passable" without the glasses so I don't think its that bad.

I just hit chapter 2 and now apparently the game has decided it doesn't want me to have fun anymore. Any time I try to do anything, anything at all, a dozen level 16 guys (I'm level 11) drop out of the sky directly onto my head and kill the poo poo out of me. If I manage to escape alive, I find myself unable to do the sidequest I wanted to do or pick up the treasure I wanted or even just fight whatever random enemies I ran into, because these assholes just stay there. This is seriously making me want to not play anymore because I just can't do anything. Please tell me that if I progress in the story a little more this will stop happening. It can't be like this for the rest of the game, right? And yeah I know I can kill them with magic, but the amount of restocking I'd have to do for how often this happens, it doesn't seem practical.

It doesn't happen in every single area, but they can spawn in most open places. Yes it happens all game long but I can't recall them ever ruining a hunt or sidequest with their spawning. I've always had them spawn as I was running to places, never at my destination.

Your experience seems to be the opposite of mine then, because when I say they drop on me any time I try to do anything, I am not exaggerating in any way. Everything I've tried to do in the past two hours or so I've had to abandon because of this, it's making me feel like the game is just plain broken.

Everything I've tried to do in the past two hours or so I've had to abandon because of this, it's making me feel like the game is just plain broken. Three things that helped me - 1) Running away when needed 2) Leveling up 3) Minding the engagement circles on the minimal The first two are no-brainers, right. The 3rd can be missed in combat. Usually the engagement circles don't overlap, so you can fight one group and evade the other. I don't recall this happening consistently and in different areas enough to have a large impact. It occurred a bit in Leide during Ch 3-4, but leveling and figuring out the general spawn points for Magitek engines trivialized it in most cases. If it's happening consistently in all 3 regions, that might be a bug.

Welp, hosed myself with permanently losing some good lures with fishing because I didn't think that they'd think of fish eating them when the line broke. At least it wasn't a Bahamut.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:To me a true Final Fantasy is a game where there's a heavy emphasis on "Fantasy", one that's eager to show me the fantastic and bizarre. A game with a huge world map that I can fly around on with a airship sometime into the game. Games that can provide a completely strange cast to me as a player yet make it all work when played serious. A series that's not afraid to make up it's own races or species or whatever so it's not just humans running around etc. Yes because the 40 foot tall hairy dinosaurs and angry birhinos and horse birds and magic and summons teleporting main character aren't fantasy enough because there aren't any bangaas  Saint Freak posted:I have probably 4+ hunts that are bugged at the moment and I think that is one? I know one is Hammer the Cannibals because the name stuck with me. One is inside the power plant where the enemies spawn but killing them does not give me credit and they don't come back. One is giant killer beetle things because I thought it was going to be bees and I looked it up on youtube to make sure I was in the right place and was like oh poo poo, I didn't want to fight those things anyways. I had that issue with a hunt early on, forcing the game closed and restarting it fixed it Kin posted:If being overlevelled will put an and to these frustrating 'random' encounters with the loving magitek soldiers i'm all for it. Keep double or triplecast thundara / thundaga loaded when you're running around and just one shot them. If you haven't figured it out yet you can add items by 'x'ing on the fourth bubble in the elemancy screen. Items will add raw spell power, numbers of uses in the stack or added effects like poison, curse, attack down, etc Wrist Watch posted:All I'm trying to say is that recommending it by calling it a good game with a few issues that's still worth playing is disingenuous as gently caress without mentioning for example how the first 25+ hours of the game is literally walking in a straight line down various hallways before you can even get your full party together. I enjoyed and continue to enjoy the opening, middle and end of ffxiii so it may just be that people have different opinions from you. Crabtree posted:Welp, hosed myself with permanently losing some good lures with fishing because I didn't think that they'd think of fish eating them when the line broke. At least it wasn't a Bahamut. Can anyone confirm if the good lures are permanently losable or are they replaceable at some point? I lost my skinny tonberry lure that I got from the first fishing quest earlier tonight and I'd be real sad if it's permanently gone.

Tildryn posted:I got it during the story trip to Titan. Ignis has passable eyesight without his glasses, but he wears them because he likes things to be 'crystal clear'. pffft passable. It's infinitely more likely he just broke his glasses in the leviathan fight, and he couldn't find any optometrists in altissa(sp) that could do his rx  .Also, I don't know wtf people were bitching about the train so much. It was perfectly fun, though I wish it was longer with umbra stops and more exploration.

The Tenebrae stop was pretty embarassing though. Completely out of context flashback scene and a skybox of a burning town? I agree on the stops though.

I liked the soldiers attacking you at inopportune times. Made them feel like an actual threat. Once I realized how OP some of the recipes are the MT stopped being a problem.

Therer's a distinct difference between "play this it's good" and "it's flawed, it's not a trainwreck" It's constantly sold by disgruntled fans as some colossal failure, when it's successes along with it's sequels dipping their toes in the water are likely why versus wasn't cancelled and why we see the xv we do. Lestallum almost feels copy pasted out of lightning returns it's so inspired by it, and its so much smaller and less intricate then the cities in that game. The questing. basically all that we like about this game. The questing in xiii it self was good, the story has ups and downs, and there isn't any big "collect the 13 X's and save the world moment" it's a serviceable game thats at the very least average among it's peers and trys things that haven't been explored in the FF series, some successfully, some not so much. ironically i'd say the one chapter that even feels inspired by the first half of FFXIII even has 13 in its title.

Also I spotted the "earliest" mention of a plot detail. And it's by an npc. so dino mentions that nights are getting longer and that more demons are coming out noctis of course just knows this already and agrees but never mentions it on his own before this IIRC if you can manage to get that deep into costlemark before altissia, it's his last mission, the enemies you need to fight to get there are obnoxious as gently caress however, but its not too deep in.

Man, the bonus Lv. 99 dungeon where you can't use items is a real mean bastard, and I'm pretty sure I didn't get far enough in for my progress to matter much without ducking out. Other than that, I've done pretty much everything else that's worth doing that I'm aware of aside from the turtle for my platinum. It's been a really fun time and I'm glad I got to experience it w/ no spoilers.

A tactic i read which has seemingly helped out a fair bit with them is to warp strike in with a great sword which makes a whole bunch of them immeditely vulnerable. Combined with a bit of overlevelling, i can take them out in under a minute now (granted i'm 10 levels higher than them at this point).

Nights getting longer for inexplicable reasons is something that is literally spelled out in the game's tutorial, yet people still seem to treat it like some sort of holy poo poo moment when it gets really noticeable all the way in Chapter 10.

Can you curtail the drain of royal arms? I like the big dumb ninja star but the drain is just too much to be practical in many battles. Or is there a non-royal arms big dumb ninja star? Also the weapon's description says it belonged to a Queen, but the tomb was totally some dude with a big ol' beard.

Or is there a non-royal arms big dumb ninja star? All the Royal Arms have the HP drain, it can't be removed, and since the star's moveset involves a lot of little hits that makes it almost useless. I'm not happy about it, either.
