Finally started playing this again. On my current playthrough I was curious how much XP I could bank from chapters 2-8 to dump on Altissia. So doing just about every quest except a few ones (last dave quest, rainbow frogs, power plant lady, and those 2 dungeons I cannot remember their name right now) I reached Altissia with just over 400k XP. It boosted me from 22 to 75. The first levels came from free stay in Galdin + farming 2-3 cactuars to get me enough levels to mostly breeze through the early game. And now I can breeze through the rest of the game. Oh this also gave me like 800 AP.

I just started and decided to try out wait mode, am I supposed to be able to move the camera? It auto focuses on enemies and I can't seem to swing it around and look at warp spots or anything.

How the gently caress do you beat the Costlemark menace dungeon?!

SalTheBard posted:How the gently caress do you beat the Costlemark menace dungeon?! Don't gently caress up. Seriously, though. Create a bunch of magic spells with 100 healing attribute and equip everyone with it. Ignis is invaluable. Switch between Ignis' Overwhelm and Regroup as needed. Regroup brings you back from 0 HP. Gladio's 3 point skill is great against multiple enemies. And the most important thing, get the lasagna recipe from Altissia. It gives you a solid HP boost and makes you immune against elemental attacks. Apart from that, be careful, and merciless , and it shouldn't be too bad.

Also farm a boatload of Zu Beaks so you can make 999 power break damage limit spells for all 3 elements.

I keep dying on the fight with like, five iron giants or whatever. Two I can save up armiger for to whack down one and severely gently caress up the other, but the room with 5 is retarded.

Two I can save up armiger for to whack down one and severely gently caress up the other, but the room with 5 is retarded. That one was the hardest for me. I won by focusing on staying alive, only hitting them when it was safe to do so. Use hit and run tactics and build up your Armiger meter. Try running away and separate them, and use your sword teleport to get away when things get hairy. Try to keep Ignis alive - he saved me twice with regroup. Don't bother reviving the others unless you are absolutely sure you can do it without getting hit. When I did it they killed Prompto and Gladius in seconds. It's doable, but I'd say it's the hardest fight of the dungeon. I only had/used a single Zu beak, but it does help if you have some strong magic as well.

A stupid drop ship just dropped some soldiers on me and I decided to fight even though I wanted to just keep running on my way. Well, the game crashed during the battle and corrupted my save file. I guess the last back up on PS+ or whatever was weeks old (though it should do it every night I thought). I lost at least 3 hours of gameplay. I'm thinking closer to 5. I haven't been able to play much in the past few months. edit: nm, that must have been a local backup that FF15 does automatically, I was able to download my latest saves from the PS+ cloud backup. That crash should not have happened though during a battle... and shouldn't have corrupted a save file FireMrshlBill fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Feb 27, 2017 |

I just bought this game on PS4. I'm doing the tutorial but I can't figure out how to get to the menu to switch out weapons and craft spells. Everytime I hit the Options button it just takes me to the PS4 options menu to adjust the game. That isn't what I want. I managed to go to the weapons menu by accident a few times but I don't know how to recreate it. Please help.

HIJK posted:Ah! Thank you!! No problem. You can also access the map and other elements using R3. And being in the car brings up different menus with those buttons. Play around a bit and orient yourself. Also play around with different control schemes. I prefer the one that uses L1 for defending, square for attack and circle for warp/attack. That way it is quicker to defend and attack rather than going from square to circle when doing a quick defend (or phase or whatever the game calls it).

Finally finished the game jesus the last few chapters were awful as gently caress Hi im a robut, hi we did some stuff for 10 years, etc I hope the dlc touches base on that... That being said I've been playing the Totomostro game, it's additicive as gently caress but christ it takes a LONG time to get to 1m, even when you get lucky and bet 9999. I've bought the cheap stuff so far but.....3.6m for a car part  On that note: ALWAYS BET ON THE DOGS (more = better) 1. couerl most of the time 2. dogs 3. double rhino 4. gianttoad the rest are just about equivalently lovely. sometimes you get a random demon spawn but other than spider lady they're all garbage. I find that couerls are fine if there are big creatures out but if there are packs out, the packs rip poo poo into the couerl Generally lower level dogs in bigger pack numbers are usually a safer bet than higher level dogs in low numbers. Generally, it's usually safe to bet on the thing that has higher numbers, but dogs have easily the highest chances to win, it's stupid.

I also finished the game recently. I think I experienced the video game version of  . I kept reassuring myself that the game was okay and that all the good stuff I enjoyed totally makes the stuff I'm currently not enjoying acceptable.Because I madly consumed supplemental materials, I kept thinking that it was all going to pay off here. In a way, consuming mad amounts of supplemental materials sort of makes it worse, since it seems weird when you've seen all the effort they've put into a character to, say, find out their fate on a random newspaper, or just hear second-hand some talk about what happened to them but you never see them nonetheless. It's sort of in a weird space because not much of the game matters if it doesn't relate to the Cup Noodle Gang in some way, but if you don't bother to read up the universe on everyone else you'll never exactly understand why the Cup Noodle Gang is invested in the adventure. I'm surprised they tested the game at all without realizing that the amount of noises and grunting from the characters, and the amount of banter, is just a bit much. I don't know how many times I heard about how it's not good to throw daggers in the dark, the characters seem to apologize at random for "stand and hold O" actions, and lategame everyone went into wild mood swings as they couldn't remember whether I was a friend to be proud of or an insensitive jerk trying to get Ignis killed. The amount of "HRRRRNNN" and tongue-clicking over simply touching somebody's hitbox while trying to dash down a tiny corridor was also weird. Final Fantasy has had your party follow you since 8. The last one where everyone just walked into the main character's body and was consumed was 7. You know players bump into the AI tail a lot, this isn't your first rodeo. Finally, I guess they decided they ran out of buttons on the PS4 controller, because Wait Mode really should have been a button rather than a universal toggle (especially if something as important as Libra is only found there), and like everybody else I ran into the "jumping repeatedly while trying to open a door" problem and the "chocobo jump button is different than your usual jump button" problem. In conclusion, I'd appreciate it if for Glady's chapter that he just forgets his airheaded dudefriends existed and goes adventuring with his sister instead.

I was confused all the time sure but at least I wasn't invested in any of it I remember people talking about a dead character you find near the end of the game that was only a character in the movies and that's just lazy As rushed as the story was I feel like if you do a decent amount of the sidequests you kind of get a feel for the bond the chocobros have, and that was enough to make the ending really land imo.

I was confused all the time sure but at least I wasn't invested in any of it Brotherhood is mostly skippable but the last episode provides a critical clue on how how Noctis spent that summer with a girl on the other side of the world. quote:I remember people talking about a dead character you find near the end of the game that was only a character in the movies and that's just lazy edit: The thing they probably need to talk about most will probably be in Prompto's chapter, because that engineering guy who shows up only once but has a ton of renders and goes back to Versus XIII is supposedly his father. And it's not at all clear why the hell the Empire was turning humans into robot dolls to begin with. I kind of assume that their entire population turning into a horde of monsters was a trick Ardyn played on them on not the Emperor's original intention. The Empire in Kingsglaive and maybe the first couple hours is a lot like Baron from 4. They like to use their airships to do things nobody else can like blast cities with cannons or, for a real gently caress-you, they airlift in Diamond Weapons that you never see in FF15 itself. The Empire after Gauldin Quay is a lot like Cocoon from 13 and doing stupid poo poo that benefits one guy and this time the guy isn't even a Space Pope.

Craptacular! posted:Kingsglaive is fine, I'd actually suggest it just for an inoffensive CGI anime movie loaded with fanservice. Any movie where Ultros is a minor antagonist and you see a kaiju do warp strikes on airships is good enough for me. I kind of thought like everything else with Ardyn it was just a kefka throwback

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:I remember people talking about a dead character you find near the end of the game that was only a character in the movies and that's just lazy That's more just an Easter egg for people that have seen the movie, I think. Nyx dies in Klingsglaive anyway, so it's not like a reveal anyway. It kind of makes sense, actually, as Ardyn taunting Noctis. Noct almost certainly met or knew Nyx, as a member of his father's bodyguard, and he died from using the ring's power. Ardyn seems to know how the prophecy plays out, so he knows Noct is going to try to use the ring to kill him and die in the process, so waving Nyx's body around is a sort of "you'll end up like this guy if you gently caress up" kind of thing. Of course, like most things in XV that possibility of something interesting is missed and only barely hinted. Oh well.

I really thought that I would be done with this game after I platted it but I'm pretty sure that as long as I have stuff to do I'll still be picking it up from time to time, which is really cool. I spent like 5 hours doing hunts and postgame dungeons grinding out Gladio's exploration working towards said plat and didn't even notice the time flying by. Reeeeeeally dreading the Costelmark no item dungeon though. Speaking of which, can I get back to the room the entrance to that is in after fighting the Jabberwock? I need to kill it for a hunt and would like to just do both at once.

Here's the Weapon Story for Noctis' Engine Blade in the NieR: Automata. "A small prince rests alone in a vast, vast bedroom. He wishes his father knew how much he hates sleeping alone, but he doesn’t dare to tell him. For the king is very busy man and must not be disturbed. A king sits alone in his vast, vast office, drowning in affairs of state. All he wants is to see his family and hug his son, but he cannot. For his every waking moment must be spent in service of the people. One day, while eating dinner, the king asks his son what he most desires in the world. He hopes he will say that he wants them to spend more time together, but instead the boy simply points at a sword hanging on the wall. The ancient sword is considered the sign that one is ready to rule. “Someday” the king chuckles. His son faintly smiles back at him. All he really wanted was for his father to read him a bedtime story…" I like it, but I guess technically, it's talking about the wrong sword in FFXV.

IcePhoenix posted:Reeeeeeally dreading the Costelmark no item dungeon though. The primary plan is enough ingredients to make the lasagna that nullifies fire/ice/lightning and gives you 4000 HP six times, fat stacks of all three types of limit break magic from farming zu beaks or getting wind-up vexoss dolls from the Altissia pinball machine, and figuring out in short order which enemies have what weaknesses and are worth dropping a nuke (or two) on. For back-up you should bring a bunch of cup noodles to use as catalysts, creating 3 spells that completely restore HP for just 1 cup and one point of energy, and don't count as items. The AI is terrible at using them, though.

I just went in with the Zwills, ate 100% crit food, slapped some ribbons on, and tore poo poo up. Didn't use any magic aside from healcasts, which are piss easy to make. Died to the midboss once but I just went back in wearing the fireproof hazmat suit and had no problem. Same with the actual boss. The room with the Iron Giants is definitely tough, so I'd craft a couple spells for them, but you don't need to go nuts. Ribbons definitely help with the necromancer guys and some other enemies. Safety bits for the Coeurls as well, but I just used armiger whenever one showed up.

The Coeurls were the worst for me. I ran out of ingredients to make the null all elements lasagna but having the guaranteed crit buff helped a lot - doubly so with the armiger. You can also make level 99 healcasts using 4 potions. Dirt cheap and the healcast will also restore maximum hp lost as well.

So after binging this game hard for like a week straight I'm finally in Chapter 12 sitting at a train station waiting for Biggs and Wedge to whisk me away. Am I about to run out of game? Did I really spend more time in Chapter 1 than Chapters 9-12 combined? Also, is the very first story quest in Altissia really meant to do that? Does the city have a bunch of sidequests (other than hunts) that I missed by talking to Hillary Clinton and should now go back for? Because that seems like a really weird design decision.
