The pinball minigame is so bad I've never seen it written about anywhere or heard anyone talk about it unless they were in the middle of playing it. It appears to be entirely devoid of fun.

Also more or less pointless; it doesn't appear to have a win condition nor does it seem to offer anything as a prize for beating the levels.

I thought that I read that there was. But of course they realized no one would care about it so they didn't even bother to make a cheevo for it or anything.

Think the grand prize was some key item for bragging rights.

Turns out the wood planks were treasure chests.

Justice Monsters Five 10 Gil Rewards
Number of Treasure Chests -- Reward

2 -- Potion

5 -- Hi-Potion

10 -- Elixir

15 -- Hi-Elixir

20 -- Garnet Bracelet

25 -- Carbon Bangle

30 -- Amethyst Bracelet

35 -- Titanium Bangle

40 -- Mega Phoenix

45 -- Sapphire Bracelet

50 -- Gold Bangle

60 -- Oracle Earring

70 -- Ruby Bracelet

80 -- Platinum Bangle

90 -- Emerald Bracelet

99 -- Celestriad

Justice Monsters Five 10,000 Gil Rewards
The super-deluxe JMF machine near Alessio in Altissia costs a whopping 10,000 Gil per game. Not surprisingly, the rewards are far better than you’ll find in the regular machine.

Number of Treasure Chests -- Reward

5 -- Hi-Potion

10 -- Mega Phoenix

15 -- Ruby Bracelet

20 -- Platinum Bangle

25 -- Emerald Bracelet

30 -- Centurion Bangle

35 -- Mystic Circlet

40 -- Moogle Charm

45 -- Legatus Bangle

50 -- Blue Diamond Bracelet

60 -- Gigas Bangle

70 -- Assist Suit

80 -- Dark Matter Bracelet

90 -- Onion Bangle

99 - Wind-up Lord Vexxos

The machine you were playing was just a series of bracelets that increase HP and Strength by middling amounts, one or two for magic. Celestriad decreases Fire/Ice/Lightning damage by 30%. Same deal with the 10,000 coin present gil machine, just higher and higher numbers overtime. The unique thing in there is the Moogle Charm which is +20% Experience. The Vexxos thing though:

quote:

Wind-up Lord Vexxos can be used in Elemancy to gain the added effect of Maxicast (Limit Break). The effect is set by default at level 99, even with a single catalyst. The damage dealt can break usual limit of 9,999.

Wonder if that's single use only.

Nah, it was only a half hour, 45 minutes to get a Vexxos. The big thing is you only get one prize. I thought I would get everything up to 99 chests.

The best part is that Kuvo quit just a second before the final planks were added to his total so he only got the prize for 30 and not 35.

Prompto hasn't tried to shoot something holding the gun backwards (yet) so FF15 has to be at least a few points over ME:A.

That whole stealth/base section is incredibly poorly designed. Like, even worse than normal for this game. It's both dull and too frantic, with unclear objectives. Such a pile of crap.

Semantics chat! As a kid I I was taught couple for two, few for three or four, and several for four, five, or six. Are there even official definitions, or are few and several just whatever anyone wants them to be?

Also are you guys going to get the DLC that comes out in a couple of weeks? My guess is no since it apparently entails 2 things you hate: Stealth mechanics and Prompto.
